The cover page features a title at the top: Chapter 299 "Fantasia". Below is a cover story illustration titled "ACE'S GREAT SEARCH FOR BLACKBEARD VOL. 24 'MODA'S LETTER'". Ace is lying comfortably on his back, holding up a letter and a photograph to read them. The letter reads, "Would you like some delicious milk? -Moda-" and includes a small hand-drawn map at the bottom. The photograph shows a smiling young girl, Moda, holding a large milk jug, standing next to a cow.

01
High in the sky, Luffy is in mid-air, falling backward after delivering a massive strike. His arm is outstretched, and his straw hat flies off his head from the force of the impact. In the background, the giant golden bell and its belfry are shattered and falling, ringing out with a deafening "KARAAN!!" and "RING!". Enel is also plummeting, his face contorted in absolute shock, blood spurting from his mouth, with his ring of drums trailing behind him. Luffy tilts his head back, squeezes his eyes shut, and roars at the top of his lungs, "ALL THE WAY DOWN BELOOOW!" Down below, Nami looks up in awe at the spectacle unfolding in the sky.
02
The massive golden bell plummets through the air, accompanied by a chunk of the belfry and the giant gold block, ringing out continuously with a booming "KARAAN!!". Luffy, still falling with his eyes squeezed shut and mouth wide open, screams at the top of his lungs, "CAN YOU HEAR IT!? MISTER DIAMOND HEAAAAD!? MONKEYS!" Down on the blue sea, Mont Blanc Cricket, Masira, and Shoujou are ecstatic. They are cheering wildly, crying tears of joy, and raising their mugs in celebration. "Uoaaaaaah!!" "Ukyakyakya!!" "Wahhahhahhahha!!" The sound of the bell echoes loudly around them.
03
A flock of Southbirds flies through the sky, squawking "Joee! Joee! Joee!". The golden bell continues its descent, ringing continuously with a loud "KARAAN!!". Luffy, falling alongside it with his limbs flailing, shouts at the top of his lungs, "THE CITY OF GOLD! WAS UP HEEERE!" The bell plunges into the thick, fluffy white clouds of the sky island, its ringing echoing powerfully through the air as it descends.
04
The ringing of the bell resonates across the sky island. Aisa, Chopper, Robin, and Gan Fall look up in amazement. Aisa smiles brightly, "Wow, it sounds so nice! What is it!?" Robin looks up softly, "What a lovely sound..." Gan Fall is wide-eyed and yelling, "HE DID IT! THAT SON OF A GUN DID IT!" Sanji, smoking a cigarette, looks up and says, "So this is the bell that Noland heard..." Down on the blue sea, Mont Blanc Cricket's face is shown in a close-up, tears streaming down his rugged face as he cries, "I ALWAYS BELIEVED, THAT THIS DAY WOULD COME... ONE DAY..."
05
The bell's ringing reaches everyone across the sky. Wiper, heavily injured and bandaged, looks up in shock, "Does God... Really exist...!?" Conis, holding Su, looks up in wonder, "The sound of Vearth... Singing...?" Su squeaks, "Su..." An older Skypiean says, "Is this... It's a miracle... After four centuries of silence..." Another adds, "I had already resigned myself into believing, That the bell would never ring again..." The Skypieans and Shandians gather on their ships, looking toward the sky. Kamakiri, bandaged and leaning on a spear, looks up with tears in his eyes, "Can you hear the flame of Shandora? Can you hear it? Great warrior Kalgara,"
06
The people on the ships are in awe as the ringing continues. "THE SAME SOUND AS IN THE LEGENDS...!?" "Could it be...?" "What is this sound...?" "HAPPENING ALL OF A SUDDEN!?" "WHAT'S..." Wiper looks up, his face covered in dirt and blood, and says, "Are you listening, Montblanc Noland? I only hope it reaches your descendant's ears. Sorry to have kept you waiting." A flashback shows Mont Blanc Noland and Kalgara smiling together. Noland asks, "THE SOUND OF THE BELL? DO YOU LIKE IT TOO?" Kalgara laughs heartily, "CHULALA LALA!"
07
The giant snake, Nola, rears its head up toward the sky, tears streaming from its eyes as it hears the bell, crying out, "CHULA LALA LALA!" A flock of Southbirds flies over the forest, squawking, "JOOEE! JOOEE! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Joe! Boss..." The ringing of the bell echoes across the sea and the islands. People on the ground listen in awe. "Isn't this..." "Yeah..." "There's no doubt about it..."
Nola
08
Down on the blue sea, Mont Blanc Cricket smiles broadly around his cigarette, a bandage on his cheek. "Ain't that romantic?" Shoujou looks up, wide-eyed, "MY HEART'S IN A JITTER..." Masira adds, "It's coming from the sky..." Cricket stands with his hands in his pockets, looking up alongside Masira and Shoujou. "There's only one bell that can be heard from so far away... There was one theory, About the 'monsters' that appear with the emperornimbus cloud..."
09
Cricket continues his explanation, "Making them appear like giant monsters... Their shadows would be cast onto the thick fogs of the far away skies down below, If humans lived up in the sky, then when the sun's strong rays shone upon them," A flashback panel shows the silhouettes of the giant monsters in the sky. Cricket concludes, "Then the identity of those monsters are... Just humans living in the sky...!? Then does that mean... We've just confirmed... That there really are humans living up in the sky...!?" Masira agrees, "Seems so." Shoujou adds, "...And right now, there's a bell ringing up in the sky." Cricket smiles, tears forming in his eyes, "We can all hear it... The sound of the golden bell... Then the City of Gold... Is also up in the sky... It really does exist... That's what, You wanted to tell me from up there, right...? My ancestor, Noland... WAS NO LIAR!"
10
Shoujou and Cricket are shown smiling warmly. In the sky above them, a massive silhouette of Luffy is cast against the clouds, his arms and legs outstretched in a triumphant pose, perfectly matching the phenomenon of the giant sky monsters. The bell continues to ring loudly. Cricket looks up at the giant shadow and says, "WAS UP THERE ALL ALONG, WAS IT...? SO, KID... THE CITY OF GOLD... THANK YOU...!"
11
Shoujou and Masira notice Cricket's emotional state. "Boss...!?" "What's wrong!? Are you alright!?" "Boss!" Cricket is shown in a close-up, bawling, tears and snot streaming down his face, though he keeps his cigarette in his mouth. "UU...! I'M SO GLAD.. THAT THEY'RE ALL SAFE..." Masira, also crying, says, "I was so worried..." The bell continues to ring in the background.
12
The golden bell and the belfry chunk fall out of the sky island's clouds, plunging toward the sea below with a loud "DOBOOOON!!". Meanwhile, the massive Ark Maxim is seen plummeting from the sky. On the ground, Pagaya, Conis, and other Skypieans look up in shock. "IT'S... GOD'S ARK!" "LOOK!"
13
The Ark Maxim crashes heavily into the white sea of clouds, sending up a massive spray of debris and vapor. The Skypieans watch in disbelief. "AND GOD! ARE SINKING!" "GOD ENEL AND HIS ARK... THEY FELL!" A narration box appears: "The sound of the bell,"
14
Narration boxes continue: "The 'Flame of Shandora'..." "Was a song that sang the praises of a past city..." "The island's 'love song'..." "A song that sounded an end to the war..." "A bell of promise." "And a song that rang a 400 year-old promise..." The panels show various scenes across the sky island: the ancient ruins of Shandora, the giant snake Nola rearing up, the Skypieans cheering wildly on their ships, and Wiper looking up at the sky. The sound of cheering, "Waaaaah," fills the air.
NolaWiper
15
Flashback panels show memories of the Straw Hats' time with Cricket. Cricket smiles, "NOW LET'S EAT." In another panel, he says, "BUT ABOVE ALL, I'M JUST HAPPY MEETING FOOLS LIKE YOU." Luffy, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper look excitedly at a map. "SKY ISLAND MUST REALLY EXIST!" "IS THAT A MAP... OF SKY ISLAND!?" Back in the present, Luffy is shown smiling peacefully, "I wonder if, Diamond-head mister and the monkeys heard it..." Nami replies, "Mmhmm." A small bubble shows Luffy saying, "I rang it." Narration boxes read: "Its long memories are not likely to fade. Although the journey of an island drifting in the sky is long,...Long ago, The people entrusted their words to that bell... So as to carry them to the distant seas. Words of pride entrusted to the bell's song," A flashback shows Noland and Kalgara smiling. The Skypieans and Shandians continue to cheer. Narration concludes: "'Here!' 'We are...'"

This is an SBS (Shitsumon o Boshu Suru) corner page. The header features an illustration of a man and a bird holding wooden signs that spell "SBS". The text features a fan jokingly scolding Oda for starting the SBS, to which Oda replies defensively. Another fan asks why Gedatsu's hair changes from scene to scene, asking for the answer in "Oda-speak". Oda provides a long, nonsensical string of letters as the answer, accompanied by a drawing of Gedatsu. A third fan makes a pun about Enel's line "I am God (kaminari)" and the Japanese word for lightning, recommending Oda for the "World Oyajigag Federation". Oda declines, stating he is still a young man in his 20s.
