The title page shows a color spread of Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and Nami relaxing on a small boat in a swampy area filled with tall reeds, lily pads, and windmills in the background. Nami stretches in a chair, Chopper sits near the back, Usopp is in the water holding a large rock, and Luffy sits cross-legged on a giant lily pad with a cat sleeping on his head. A large blue bird perches on a reed nearby. The chapter title reads "246 PRIEST SATORI OF THE FOREST OF ILLUSIONS".

02
Close-up panels show a man with dreadlocks, a mustache, and goggles resting on his forehead. He speaks ominously: "DO THEY HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING OF GOD...? A CLASS-2 CRIME... CHOOSE YOUR TRIAL... WE ARE THE ONES WHO SHALL GIVE IT TO YOU..... TO CARRY A SIN... IS TO LIVE IN IGNORANCE. THE WAY TO YOUR INNER REPOSE DOES NOT LEAD YOU TO HEAVEN..."

03
The boat carrying Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp approaches four dark tunnel entrances. Above the tunnels are signs reading "TRIAL OF BALLS", "TRIAL OF STRING", "TRIAL OF IRON", and "TRIAL OF SWAMP". Luffy excitedly reads them out: "BALLS!! STRING!! IRON!! SWAMP!!" A sign says "YOU CAN ONLY CHOOSE ONE TRIAL!" Sanji asks, "WHAT SHOULD WE DO...?" Luffy decides, "OKAY! LET'S GO WITH BALLS!" Usopp agrees, "DOESN'T IT SOUND FUN?" Sanji yells, "THIS IS A TRIAL! HOW CAN IT BE FUN!?" Usopp replies, "BUT...I CHOOSE BALLS, TOO! IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT DOESN'T SOUND VIOLENT......I HOPE..." Luffy declares, "FINE!! IT'S DECIDED THEN...!!" Sanji warns them, "BUT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. THIS IS GOD'S ISLAND 10,000 METERS ABOVE THE GROUND! NO ONE KNOWS WHAT KIND OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN HERE!"
LuffySanjiUsopp
04
The boat enters the "TRIAL OF BALLS" tunnel. Luffy cheers, "LET'S GO!!!" while Usopp screams, "OH~~~~!!!" Inside, it's completely dark. Sanji says, "HEY, HEY, THE DRIVER SHOULD KEEP HIS EYES OPEN!" Luffy replies, "AAH...THEY'RE OPEN, BUT IT'S STILL PITCH BLACK..." Sanji asks, "HEY...DOESN'T THIS REMIND YOU OF SOMETHING?" Luffy guesses, "MAYBE SOME HIT AND SOME MISS!" Usopp is confused, "HUH!?" Sanji yells, "DON'T SAY THAT! YOU WANT TO FALL!?" Usopp panics, "WE'RE 10,000 METERS ABOVE THE BLUE SEA!!" Sanji asks, "WHAT IS IT?" Luffy points out, "THERE WERE FOUR ENTRANCES, RIGHT?" Sanji asks, "WHY ARE YOU SAYING THIS NOW!? SO WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MISS?" Luffy realizes, "...IF YOU MISS...OH! I KNOW! YOU'LL FALL OFF OF SKY ISLAND." Usopp freaks out, "DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES YOU'LL SEE YOUR LIFE FLASH BEFORE YOUR EYES BY THE TIME YOU HIT THE GROUND!?" Sanji tells them, "STOP BABBLING, YOU GUYS..."
LuffySanjiUsopp
05
The boat suddenly shoots out of the dark tunnel into the open air, high above a waterfall and a dense forest. Sanji looks shocked and says, "THERE'S NO WAY THAT..." As they plummet downward, Usopp and Luffy scream in terror, "!!?" "HUH!?" "EEH???" "NO~~!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING~~~!!!" "EH~~~~!?"
LuffySanjiUsopp
06
The boat lands with a massive splash on a milky road winding through the forest. Sanji pants, "HAH...HAH...!!" Luffy laughs in relief, "I REALLY THOUGHT... I WOULD FALL 10,000 METERS...!!!! UHAHAHAH!! AH~~~~I WAS SCARED! I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE FOR SURE--" Sanji angrily kicks Luffy, "DID YOU SAY THAT MISLEADING STUFF ON PURPOSE!? YOU BASTARD..." Sanji then looks around, "WE'RE SAFE...!! ANYWAYS... WHERE ARE WE?" Luffy points ahead excitedly, "THEY'RE BALLS!! BALLS!!!"
LuffySanjiUsopp
07
The milky road leads into a forest filled with giant, floating white spheres. Luffy is amazed, "BALLS MADE FROM LITTLE BITS OF ISLAND CLOUD... HAHAHAHA! SO COOL~~~!! THEY LOOK LIKE GIGANTIC SNOWBALLS!! THE MILKY ROAD GOES UP AND DOWN AMONGST THE TREES..." Sanji looks around cautiously, "...WHAT KIND OF TRIAL IS IN THIS PLACE...?" Luffy replies, "WHO KNOWS!? IT'D BE NICE IF NOTHING HAPPENED, BUT THAT'S NOT LIKELY..." Sanji wonders, "DID WE MAKE IT? DID WE PICK THE RIGHT ONE?!!" Luffy says, "WE'D PROBABLY BE SUFFERING SOME GRUESOME FATE RIGHT NOW IF WE HAD CHOSEN ANOTHER ENTRANCE!!"
LuffySanjiUsopp
08
Luffy agrees with his own logic, "AHH...! YEAH...! THAT'S PROBABLY TRUE!" Sanji scolds him, "RIGHT!? IDIOTS! DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! WHY WOULD THEY MAKE A PRIZE DOOR FOR CRIMINALS? JUST THINK ABOUT IT A LITTLE! THERE MAY BE TRAPS LIKE EARLIER..." Luffy nods, "STAY SHARP... ANYWAY, LET'S JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD..." Usopp says, "I'M THIRSTY. LET'S HAVE SOME TEA! OPEN UP THE SENBEI IN YOUR BACKPACK!" Luffy agrees, "YEAH. YEAH! NOT A BAD IDEA. AH- SOUNDS GOOD--" Sanji gets annoyed, "WHY YOU...!!" Sanji then thinks, "...THIS IS STRANGE. THEY SAID THAT THERE ARE FOUR PRIESTS, SO EACH ENTRANCE SHOULD HAVE LED US TO ONE OF THEM... WAS I WRONG...!?" Luffy tosses a snack, "HEY~~~ USOPP, CATCH!" Usopp catches it, "OHH! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!" Sanji yells, "I SAID TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT!!!" Usopp asks, "CAN WE HAVE A PIECE OF SKY SENBEI?" Sanji refuses, "NO! LISTEN HERE!! I'M GOING TO STEER, SO YOU GUYS KEEP A LOOKOUT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT!!!" Luffy looks ahead, "WOW! WE'RE REALLY SAILING HIGH ABOVE THE GROUND...!!"
LuffySanjiUsopp
09
Suddenly, a giant snake bursts out of one of the floating balls right in front of them, hissing loudly, "SHA-------!!!" Luffy screams, "GYAAAAAAAH!!!" Usopp yells, "EEH~~~~!!?" Sanji is shocked, "WHAT...!! A SNAKE!!?" Luffy punches the snake in the face, yelling, "YAHHHH!!! YOU BASTARD! GET OUT OF HERE!" The snake is knocked back. Luffy pants, "HAH...HAH...THAT SCARED ME! WHAT THE HELL?" Sanji points ahead, "HEY! SANJI! IN FRONT! A CLOUD!!" Sanji prepares to kick it, "KICK IT FAR AWAY!!"
LuffySanjiUsoppGiant Snake

Sanji kicks the floating cloud ball, yelling, "WHY YOU...!!" He wonders, "ARE THESE FLOATING THINGS ALL SNAKE EGGS!!?" The ball explodes violently upon impact. When the smoke clears, Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji are covered in black soot, coughing. Sanji demands, "WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON WITH THESE BALLS?!!" A voice calls out, "HOH--HOHOH!! IT'S FUN NOT KNOWING WHAT'LL COME OUT! THESE ARE CALLED 'SURPRISE CLOUDS.'" Sanji looks around, "WHO'S THERE!!?"
LuffySanjiUsopp
11
A round, strange-looking man with a hat, glasses, and small wings on his back appears, sitting cross-legged in mid-air. He greets them, "HOH HO HOH!! HESO!!! WELCOME TO MY TRIAL OF BALLS." A caption box introduces him: "SKYPIEA PRIEST 'SATORI OF THE FOREST'". Satori continues to laugh and dance around, "HOH HO HOH!!" Luffy asks, "YOURS? SO THIS IS YOUR TRIAL OF BALLS?" Satori dances, "HO HO~~!! HOH HO HO--!" Sanji yells angrily, "STOP DANCING!! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?"
LuffySanjiUsoppSatori
12
Sanji looks at Satori and says, ".....WHAT THE? HE LOOKS LIKE AN IDIOT, DOESN'T HE?" Usopp is surprised, "THAT'S A PRIEST...!?" Sanji demands, "HEY, DANGO! ARE NAMI-SAN AND THE OTHERS ALRIGHT!!?" Satori replies while bouncing on a ball, "...YOU MEAN THE SACRIFICES? IN THAT CASE, I DON'T KNOW. THEY'LL PROBABLY DIE IF THEY ARE LEFT ALONE. BUT IF THEY ESCAPE, THEY'LL STILL DIE..." Sanji gets angry, "WHAT DID YOU SAY!!?" Satori warns them, "YOU SHOULD BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT YOURSELVES! I'LL SAY IT CLEARLY: IF YOU CAN'T BEAT ME, YOU CAN'T MOVE FORWARD." Sanji tells Luffy, "IT'S...IT'S COMING! LUFFY! DO IT! KICK HIS ASS!" Luffy winds up his arm, "OKAY!! I'LL KNOCK HIM DOWN!!!" Satori notices, "HOH. STRETCHING...!?" Luffy prepares his attack, "GOMU GOMU..."
LuffySanjiUsoppSatori
13
Luffy launches his attack, yelling, "PISTOL!" His fist flies toward Satori. However, Satori easily dodges the punch and casually places his open palm against Luffy's outstretched hand. Satori shouts, "AIIIIIIII!!!" Luffy looks shocked, "!!?"
LuffySanjiUsoppSatori
14
Sanji yells in surprise, "LUFFY!!?" A powerful force sends Luffy flying backward, crashing through the air. Usopp panics, "EH!? EH!? LUFFY!!?" Satori stands calmly and asks, "HEY, YOU OKAY? IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE PUNCH, SO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY EFFECT ON YOU!" Luffy, recovering from the hit, looks confused, "PUNCH...?" Satori holds up his palm, "THERE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENCE."
LuffySanjiUsoppSatori
15
Sanji charges at Satori, demanding, "WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE!!?" Satori predicts his move, "HOH HOH...!! AN UPPER RIGHT KICK..." Sanji attacks, "COLLIER...*" (A note explains: *NOTE: COLLIER - NECK MEAT). Satori easily dodges the kick. Sanji is shocked, "WHAT!?" Sanji thinks, "IMPOSSIBLE... THIS GUY CAN PREDICT MY MOVEMENTS...!!?" Satori places his palm on Sanji's chest and says, "AIIIIII!!!!! A POWER GIVEN ONLY TO THOSE WHO PRACTICE THE ART - MANTRA!" Satori strikes Sanji with a powerful blast.

16
The impact sends Sanji flying backward. Usopp screams, "AH...!! UWAH!! SANJI!!!" Satori explains his attack, "THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM A SIMPLE PUNCH..... THE SHOCKWAVE CAUSES DAMAGE DIRECTLY... INSIDE THE BODY!!!" Sanji crashes to the ground, groaning, "GUA...!!!...UGH..." Luffy yells out, "DAMNIT!!! SANJI!! USOPP!!"
LuffySanjiUsoppSatori
17
Sanji coughs on the ground, "...*COUGH*... THAT BASTARD...WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON...??!!" Luffy, sweating, replies, "NO IDEA! I JUST KNOW HE'S REALLY STRONG!" Satori stands proudly among the floating balls, "HOH!! HOHO~~~~!! MY NAME IS SATORI! I'M ONE OF THE PRIESTS WHO SERVE THE ALMIGHTY GOD, ENEL. THE VEARTH IN THIS FOREST OF ILLUSIONS IS UNDER MY CONTROL." Luffy asks, "FOREST OF ILLUSIONS?" Satori smiles widely, "YES. IN THIS FOREST..."
LuffySanjiUsoppSatori
18
Satori continues, "--ONE OF THE ILLUSIONS IS... YOUR BOAT!!" Usopp notices the boat drifting away, "AAH!! THE BOAT IS MOVING BY ITSELF!!!" Satori explains, "FROM NOW ON, IT WILL DRIFT AIMLESSLY ON THE MILKY ROAD... AND WILL EVENTUALLY EXIT THIS FOREST BY ITSELF. I'M SURE YOU ALREADY UNDERSTAND, BUT WITHOUT THIS DIAL BOAT, YOU CAN'T GET TO THE SACRIFICIAL ALTAR. YOU HAVE TO GET BACK ON BOARD BEFORE IT LEAVES." Luffy and Sanji look serious. Satori adds, "OF COURSE, THESE SURPRISE CLOUDS AND I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SUCCEED... WELCOME TO THE FORBIDDEN HOLY LAND, UPPER YARD... HOH!! IT'S THE TRIAL OF BALLS!!! IN THIS FOREST OF ILLUSIONS, THE CHANCE OF SURVIVAL IS 10%!!" A final box reads "26 'THE ADVENTURE ON GOD'S ISLAND' (END)".
