Luffy grins widely while grinding ink on a red stand. Robin sits nearby reading a book. Usopp shouts excitedly with a cup in hand. Zoro plays a large stringed instrument with intense focus. Nami pours tea calmly from a red pot. Chopper lies on his back on the ground laughing with his mouth open. Sanji peeks out from behind Nami with a joyful expression. The large title "ONE PIECE" dominates the top of the page, and the bottom caption reads "Chapter 269: "CONCERTO"".Monkey D.

Clouds and motion lines streak past her as she descends or flies at high speed. The rest of the page is empty white space.NamiPage 2A map labels the "Northeast shore, upper yard" with a compass rose. Below, a wide landscape shows a distant ship near forested cliffs and waterfalls. Conis's father says, "Yes, father." A voice asks, "Where they planned to meetI Is it really here... Tell me, Conis..." Another replies, "That is what Miss Nami said." In the next scene inside a building, Conis answers, "Yes, father! That's a good idea!" while a man with a helmet and beard declares, "Shall we use the horn to blow away our fearsI We need to guard their ship with our lives until they return...!! We are kind of in a bind, being forced to do this for them." A small "Suu..." sound effect appears near Conis as a fox-like creature watches.ConisPagayaPage 3A hand pulls a striped cord as a megaphone blares with musical notes and the word "PERFECT!" Large SFX read "パチラ" and "パラパパ". Inside, Conis shouts, "Hang in there!!!" while her father says, "As for me, I'll take care of you!!" and "Alright!" Conis calls out, "Suu!" and "Suu! Will you guard that sideI" as a small fox-like creature flies past with "パチラ パチラ" notes. Her father muses, "Skypiea is a dangerous place right now... I hope everyone is safe..." The final panel shows a massive impact with debris flying and huge SFX "グオオオオ".ConisPagayaPage 4Massive explosions rip through the clouds as a colossal blast erupts across the upper sky. A battered man with a long braid and scaly armor screams upward, "TO GOD'S SHRINE!!!" Below him, another figure shouts desperately, "DON'T LET THEM GET THERE!!!" A warrior collapses to the ground with a pained "MEEH!!!" while a determined fighter in a striped hat and goggles lunges forward, declaring, "IS NOW!!! THE TIME TO TAKE ENEL'S HEAD..."EnelWiperShandia warriorPage 5The battle rages across the beanstalk as fighters clash mid-air. A voice commands, "TO THE GIANT BEANSTALK ~~~!!!" Another warns, "AND DON'T CHALLENGE ENEL FURTHER..." A woman with long black hair sweats heavily, whispering "WIPER..." while urging, "DON'T USE REJECT ANYMORE!!!"

A warrior with a bazooka roars, "CLIMB UP TO THE UPPER LEVEL AND DESTROY EACH OTHER." Another laughs wildly, "YA HA HA HA!!! THAT'S GREAT!"

A voice pleads, "STOP IT, WIPER!!" while another insists, "I'M NOT..." Gan Fall blocks the attack, shouting, "ARE YOU STUBBORN TO THE POINT YOU WON'T LISTEN TO ME!I" Wiper retorts angrily, "TO ME, YOU ARE NOT MUCH BETTER THAN ENEL, GAN FALL!!" Gan Fall counters, "I'M NOT* WHAT!I YOU ARE NOT MY ENEMY, IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY!I" as the clash intensifies with "TSU LALA LALA!!!" and "PIEEEEEEH!!!"WiperGan FallPage 8High above the ruined city, a massive striped serpent coils through the air as a winged Shandia warrior on a flying board dodges its strike. FWAP ゴゴオオオオオ!! The warrior yells "PIEEEEEEH!!!" while the beast smashes through stone buildings. In rapid panels the serpent twists violently, ブルン ブルン, as a bazooka blast strikes its scales at point-blank range. "DAMN YOU...!!" the warrior grunts. "UUNGH..." The enormous eye of the snake glares; its scales remain unmarked. "IT'S SCALES...!I NOT EVEN A SHOT FROM A BAZOOKA CAN PENETRATE...!I" someone shouts in shock. The serpent rears back with a rumbling ゴゴオオオオオ!! as the battle rages over the shattered Shandora ruins.Shandia warriorNolaPage 9Inside a collapsing cave, a goggled fighter screams "I'M FED UP WITH THIS DAMN CAVE!" while debris rains down, AAAA AAAAA AAHHH!!!! The same voice mutters "I'M..." as he coughs and clutches his face. "....!! ポクッ..." Outside among the ruins, a shirtless swordsman with a headband drops to one knee, gripping his blades. A small dog-like figure stands nearby, wide-eyed. "WHAT... WHAT WAS THAT...!I" the swordsman gasps as a distant explosion echoes, ドゴォン バンッ...!! The dog-like creature stares in alarm.goggled fighterheadbanded swordsmandog-like figurePage 10The goggled fighter explains, "EMERGES FROM A DIAL INSIDE THE HILT..." while the bald warrior with a massive iron-cloud mace growls, "BLEH...

"AND IT FOLLOWS THE TARGET WHEREVER THEY GO!!" The blade slices through ruins in a massive impact, ズドドド, as the goggled man yells "!!!"

Below, several Shandia warriors stand on broken stone pillars. One shouts, "WE ARE HERE TO HELP, OHM-SAMA!!!" Another calls out, "EVEN THE KING OF THE SKY IS HERE!" while a third warns, "LOOK AT THAT..." A massive serpentine creature suddenly erupts into the scene with a thunderous "ばばばばん!!" The beast rears up, wings spread, as smaller figures are sent flying. A panicked voice cries "MEEEH ~~~~!!!!" while the giant snake towers over the crumbling ruins.OhmShandia warriorsNolaPage 13A scarred, shirtless man glares forward and mutters, "YOU GUYS..."

Aisa is seen in the distance as someone shouts "AISA!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!I" Nami yells "NAMI!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!I" while clinging to a massive weapon. Zoro appears mid-swing. Wiper roars "AISA! GET AWAY FROM HER!" and "WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING TO HER!I" Nami calls out "WHERE ARE THE OTHERS!II" and "AH! ZORO!" as Wiper is struck. The giant snake lets out "SKREEE!!!" while impact SFX "ドゴゴゴゴォー" and "ギャアアア!!" shake the ruins. Nami and Zoro react with shock as the battle rages around them.NamiZoroWiperAisaNolaPage 16A massive spotted bird flaps its wings furiously while carrying a rider, motion lines and a large "FLAP" filling the air as it flees. Below, Nami stares upward in alarm and shouts, "BECAUSE WE WERE BEING CHASED BY..." In the next panels the bird dives toward a giant snake whose jaws gape wide; someone yells "DEMON ~~~!! WIPER, YOU DEMON ~~~!!" while another voice cries "WHY!!I" A rescued figure calls out "SAVED..." and asks "WHY DID YOU COME HEREI" The enormous snake rears up, its mouth stretching open as it bellows "TSU LALA LALA LA!!!" followed by a sharp "PIEEH!!"

In the lower half a bare-chested swordsman with two blades at his waist swings his weapon in a powerful arc, sweat flying as massive impact effects and "!!!" punctuate the strike that sends rubble flying.WiperPage 19A furious close-up of Wiper's face shouts "WIPER!" as rubble explodes around him. The giant snake lies slashed and motionless while a voice declares "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION..." and another mutters "FOOLS..."

He adds, "ANYWAY, NO ONE WILL MAKE IT THROUGH."WiperPage 20ExtraThe page opens with a large stylized header reading "質問コーナー" featuring a wild-haired figure with a prominent B on the chest flanked by swan-like creatures. Below, reader letters and answers fill the page. Reader R writes: "HELLO. NICE TO MEET YOU, ODA! I'VE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THIS FOR A WHILE. IN VOLUME 22, CHAPTER 198, WHEN CROCODILE HAS VIVI BY THE THROAT, VIVI SAYS 'THIS COUNTRY... I-'. IN VOLUME 23, CHAPTER 216, WHEN VIVI IS GIVING HER SPEECH, SHE SAYS 'I STILL WANT TO JOURNEY WITH YOU, BUT I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!' IS THAT WHAT SHE SAID EARLIER!I THAT'S IT. BY I'M DEFINITELY RIGHT. REALLY." The reply states: "O: YES. THANK YOU FOR READING SO CLOSELY. THAT'S HOW IT IS. VIVI ALWAYS FELT THAT WAY. BUT, THE ROAR OF THE REBELLION DROWNED OUT THE PRINCESS FEELINGS. IN THE LAST SCENE, THE CITIZENS WHO HAD BEEN SCARED MUST HAVE BEEN OVERJOYED TO HEAR VIVI SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT (TEAR). WHAT A GREAT RIOT. YEAH... YEAH." Reader R continues: "ON THE GRAND LINE, YOU CAN'T USE COMPASS DIRECTIONS, RIGHTI SO IN VOLUME 24, CHAPTER 218, WHEN ROBIN ASKS 'IS THE LOG POSE ALL RIGHTI' WHY DOES NAMI RESPOND, 'STRAIGHT FORWARD, NORTH BY NORTHWEST!!!'I IF YOU CAN'T GIVE A SATISFACTORY ANSWER, JUMP INTO AN ICE COLD POOL." The answer reads: "O: UH, IT'S SUMMER NOW. LET'S SEE, THIS'LL DO. ON THE GRAND LINE, YOU CAN STILL TELL DIRECTIONS WHEN ON LAND. ON THE PREVIOUS ISLAND, NAMI CONFIRMED THAT THE NEXT ISLAND WAS IN THE NORTH BY NORTHWEST DIRECTION, AND SINCE THEY WERE PROCEEDING THAT WAY, SHE SAID THAT. I'M NOT JUMPING INTO ANYTHING." A small inset panel shows the Straw Hats on the Going Merry with speech bubbles: "STRAIGHT FORWARD, NORTH BY NORTHWEST, DON'T WORRY, MISS ROBIN!" and "MISS NAVIGATOR... IS THE LOG POSE ALL RIGHTI"Page 21No description for this page.
