The chapter title page displays "Chapter 261: 'WARRIOR GENBOU VS. GOD'S MILITIA COMMANDER YAMA'". Below it, a large splash illustration shows Wapol in a massive black fur-trimmed coat and bear-eared hat, mouth wide open in shock with sweat drops flying, holding a cup. Beside him stands a tall woman in a sparkling black gown with white feather boa and wings, pointing forward with a confident grin. A small bear-faced robot sits at her feet. The background features a festive city street with palm trees, buildings, and confetti. At the bottom, text reads "WAPOL'S SNACK BANSAI VOL. 22: 'HIS MAJESTY MARRIES MISS UNIVERSE'".

In a dense jungle of massive trees and vines, two distant figures stand on a rocky outcrop. Large SFX "ゴォォォォォ..." rumble across the treetops as small "HAH..." bubbles appear. A circular impact mark scars a distant tree. The view cuts to a close-up of a sweating, tattooed man with an earring and stitched mouth, breathing heavily with "HAH..." and an empty speech bubble. Below, a massive circular hole is torn through thick roots and earth with sharp "SKRISH" SFX on both sides.

A battered man with wild black hair and facial scars shouts "HEY! OF COURSE NOT...!" while another voice calls "YOU'RE NOT DEAD YET, ARE YOUI" and "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STRAWHAT...!I" from the jungle vista. The scarred man sweats with "HA..." and "..." as a winged figure appears. A sudden explosion erupts with massive SFX "ドカァァァン!!!" and smaller "ドドド" and "ガラガラ" impacts, sending the Straw Hat flying. Close-up shows a hand reaching desperately with "... AAA AAA AAAH!!" while the winged figure screams "WAA AAAAA AH..." amid debris.

Explosions and smoke fill the air with "ゴロゴゴゴ" and "ゴゴゴッ" as a man in a hat yells "WHAT'S GOING ON!I" and another screams "IYA AAA AAH --!!". A close-up shows the scarred man asking "WHERE DID HE GO...I" with "..." while a distant armored figure stands amid trees with "-+..." and "ゴゴォ...". The scarred man, now revealed as Genbou with a large weapon, thinks "ONE MORE 'REJECT' AND MY BODY WILL PROBABLY SHATTER. I HAVE TO SAVE SOME STRENGTH TO DEAL WITH ENEL." He mutters "HAH... HA..." and "NO... IS NOT THE TIME TO BE WASTING MY STRENGTH ON HIM."

High above the ruins, Enel glares into the distance with a fierce scowl, sweat dripping down his face. "JUST YOU WAIT..." he mutters. Below, a desperate voice cries out, "ENEL!!!" The massive snake Nola finally stops moving through the wreckage. "IT FINALLY STOPPED," someone notes. In the next instant a huge impact erupts. Luffy lies sprawled on the ground amid rubble, dazed and battered, one hand behind his head. "WHERE AM II" he wonders aloud as question marks float around him and debris settles.

05
A massive cannonball blasts forward with explosive force, smoke and impact lines filling the frame. "OUT OF MY WAY—!!!" a voice roars. The projectile slams into armored figures, sending them flying. "NOT AGAIN!!!" one soldier screams as another is hurled backward. In the distance a small figure watches from the treetops. "HUNH!" the observer gasps while the cannonball continues its destructive path through the forest, shattering trees and structures alike.
Yama
06
Yama, the massive militia commander, aims an enormous iron cannon directly at his opponent. "HEAVY MATERIAL LIKE THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE SKY...!!!" he exclaims. "WHAT A RARE CANNON BALL... IS THAT IRONI" Genbou, the Shandia warrior, stands ready. Yama snarls, "LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF MY TROOPS HAVE FALLEN TO YOU." He then addresses his foe directly: "COMMANDER YAMA OF THE MILITIA!!" Genbou replies, "GENBOU, MISERABLE SHANDIAN. YOU'LL SUFFER A LOT FOR THAT..." The cannon fires at point-blank range. "MERCY!!!" Yama howls in panic as the blast engulfs him. "NO"
YamaGenbou
07
The iron sphere ricochets wildly through the air. Yama's eyes widen in shock. Genbou leaps high, his body twisting with tremendous force. "MEEH YA--!!!" he bellows as he delivers a devastating kick that smashes into the cannon and sends Yama sprawling amid a massive explosion of impact lines and debris. The militia commander is hurled backward, his massive frame crashing through the wreckage as the battle reaches its violent climax.
GenbouYama
08
Genbou, bloodied and bruised with a spotted giraffe-patterned weapon, glares up in pain. "KUH... DAMN YOU...!!!" he growls. Yama looms over him with a massive axe, striking fiercely. Genbou refuses to yield, shouting "I CAN'T... DIE HERE!!!" as he swings his weapon. "DECA AXE"!!! Yama yells, landing a heavy blow. Genbou, battered but defiant, roars "BRING IT ON, YAMA!!!" while counterattacking amid flying debris and impact lines.
GenbouYama
09
Yama unleashes a devastating overhead strike. "AXE CRUSH"!!! he bellows, smashing Genbou into the ground with tremendous force. The impact shatters the surroundings, sending debris flying. Genbou lies defeated, eyes wide in shock, blood dripping from his mouth as the dust settles around his fallen form.

Yama stands victorious atop the ruined battlefield, his massive form dominating the scene. "YOU HAD DONE WELL UNTIL NOW," he says coldly. "HOW UNFORTUNATE..." he adds as Genbou's broken weapon and body lie amid the rubble. With a dismissive "MEH!!!!" Yama turns away from the defeated warrior.

A massive explosion rocks the area with "ズゴォォォ..." and "ザザザ..." sound effects as a figure is hurled through the air. The scene shifts to a quiet, ruined landscape where a Shandia woman stands before an ancient stone monument. "WUP WUP" and "ゴゴォ..." echo faintly. She examines the structure and remarks, "IT WAS PROBABLY CONSTRUCTED BY THE DESCENDANTS AFTER THE CITY FELL. A TOMBSTONE FOR THE CITY ITSELF..."
Shandia woman
12
In the misty ruins of an ancient forest, a massive stone tablet carved with intricate city plans leans against a giant tree. Nico Robin stands before it, reading the engraved name aloud. "SHANDORA"... A speech bubble wonders, "SO THAT'S THE NAME OF THAT FAMOUS ANCIENT CITY...I" Narration explains: "YEAR 402... THE CITY PROSPERED MORE THAN 1100 YEARS AGO... THEY DISAPPEARED... 800 YEARS AGO...!!!" Robin turns her gaze upward as birds flap overhead. She thinks, "MAYBE THIS ISLAND... THAT FALLS INTO THE PERIOD WHERE THERE IS NO RECORD OF HISTORY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, THE 'BLANK CENTURY'..."
Nico Robin
13
Nico Robin's face fills the panel, sweat on her cheek as her eyes widen with realization. "THAT EVEN DISAPPEARED FROM THE WORLD...!!!" Heartbeat sounds "ドキ ドキ..." echo. She resolves, "IF I GO TO THE CITY SQUARE, I CAN PROBABLY FIND OUT MORE. MAYBE EVEN A CLUE TO THE 'UNTOLD HISTORY'...!!!" and notes "THERE'S A MAP OF SHANDORA..." In the overgrown ruins she spots a distant figure. Suddenly a massive face bursts from the foliage with "MEH—!!!" and "KWAA KWAA..." Robin spins around, startled, as two voices react: "WE HAVE HERE... WHAT A CUTE LADY..." and "WHO'S THERE!I"

High above the ruined city, a massive snake carries a small ship through the treetops while two rotund, winged figures float in the air, laughing "HOH HOO—!!" and "HOH HOHOO—!!" One asks, "WHERE DID THOSE TWO COME FROMI" The pair descend dramatically, striking poses with musical notes around them. They declare in unison, "WE ARE THE VICE COMMANDERS OF THE GOD'S MILITIA!!!" and "WE CAME TO AVENGE OUR BROTHER!" A huge onomatopoeia "どどーん!!" shakes the ground as they land.
HotoriKotori
15
The two vice commanders, Hotori and Kotori, hover before a wide-eyed Nami. Hotori shouts, "I'M KOTORI!!! I'M THE OLDEST OF US TRIPLETS, SATORI, LOST TO YOU!!" Kotori adds, "IT'S NO USE PLAYING INNOCENT! I'M HOTORI!!" Nami yells back, "WHAT!I YOUR BROTHER!I WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!I I TOLD YOU I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!" The brothers roar "HO HOO—!!" and "NO MERCY—!!!" before lunging forward. Nami draws her weapon as "PIEH—!!!" and "PIERRE!!!" ring out amid flying impacts and "FWOOSH".

16
An elderly warrior with long hair and a young girl wielding a staff clash in combat. The old man shouts, "FOR ONCE..." as the girl yells back, "NO!! LET ME HELP!" He insists, "SO, GET BACK, YOUNG GIRL!!" while analyzing the fight: "THESE WOUNDS ARE NOTHING. I WILL NOT LOSE TO THEM. HE MAY BE PLANNING TO KILL HIS PRISONERS! WE HAVE TO DEFEAT THEM QUICKLY AND CATCH UP TO ENEL." The girl grips her staff tightly and declares, "IT'S MY TURN TO FIGHT!!!" as she charges forward with fierce determination. In a separate scene below, a robed swordsman stands over a fallen figure and calls out "ROGER!" A deep voice laughs, "HOH HOHO —!!" The swordsman responds, "VERY WELL!! FIRST, WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT KIND OF DIALS THEY USE!!"

A massive horned man with a fierce glare scans the area and growls, "... WHEREI" A voice from off-panel shouts, "OVER THERE!!!" Below, a group examines a picture as one exclaims, "WHAT!!I IT IS NOT JUST A WILD CRITTER. PLEASE LOOK AT THIS PICTURE!! IT WAS FROM THOSE CITIZENS OF THE BLUE SEA!!" Another points, "OVER THERE!! THAT SMALL ANIMAL!!" Gedatsu appears with a winged figure, noting, "YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING LIKE THAT!! GEDATSU-SAMA... YOUR EYES AREN'T IN FRONT OF THE HOLES." In the forest ruins, small figures call out desperately: "ARE YOU HERE —II", "ROBIN —!!", "ZORO —!!", "LUFFY —!!" while a creature reacts with "HOOOY —".

Chopper bursts onto the scene in his hat, shouting, "EVERYONE, IT'S ME, CHOPPER" as a massive impact sound "ドン!!" erupts behind him. A surprised voice asks, "EHI" The enormous horned man reacts with shock, "EHI WHERE DID HE GOI" as motion lines swirl around him. In a close-up, Chopper's eyes widen in alarm, sweat flying as he yells, "WHAT IS THAT!!!I" amid explosive impact effects.

Chapter 261 summary

Wiper stands exhausted in the forest after blasting a hole through a massive tree and calls out to Luffy, who thrashes inside the giant snake Nola as it carries him away. Wiper resolves to conserve his strength for Enel and turns aside. Commander Yama drops from the sky, crushes a Shandia warrior, and battles Genbo, dodging cannon fire before defeating him with a powerful axe crush that leaves Genbo unconscious. In the ruins, Robin examines ancient stone steles and identifies the lost city of Shandora just as Yama lands behind her. Elsewhere, Hotori and Kotori confront Nami and Gan Fall, launching an attack that Pierre blocks while Gan Fall urges a quick fight to reach Enel. Nami steps forward to engage the twins. In another area, Gedatsu and his militia spot Chopper, who wanders the ruins calling for his friends until he turns and sees the towering priest standing directly behind him.
