Chapter 428 opens with the title page, "LET'S GO BACK." The short-term concentrated cover series continues with No. 9, "TO THE FAIRY VEARTH." A small sky-island vessel travels through space toward a huge moon, turning Enel's cover-story journey into a strange, quiet image far away from Enies Lobby. It is useful cover-story material, but not part of the current escape.

The report spreads through the fleet like a shockwave: "EVEN MR. ROB LUCCI, THE LEADER OF THE STRONGEST CP9 GROUP," "IN THE HISTORY OF CIPHER POL," "HAS BEEN DEFEATED BY THE PIRATES...!!" Marines can only stammer, "IMPOSSIBLE...!!" and "W-WILL... LU-" before the truth reaches everyone. From the bridge, the Straw Hats and their allies erupt. They shout, "LUFFY WON!!!" while the warships loom on every side. The impossible victory has happened, but it has happened inside the Buster Call's cage.

Lucci lies collapsed in the rubble with Hattori beside him, while Luffy can barely stand, panting "HAA... HAA... HAA..." Zoro looks relieved and says, "GOT ME SCARED FOR A MOMENT. YOU FINALLY DID IT, STRAWHAT!!" The others call out, "LUFFY...!!" and "YAY!!!" before the urgency returns. "GUYS, GET ON THE ESCAPE SHIP NOW!!!" someone shouts. "WE'LL SET OUT!!!" Even the distant ships hear the celebration: "GOOD JOB, STRAWHAT-SAAAN!!" The victory is real, and now everyone has to move before the fleet turns it into a funeral.

A new voice suddenly cuts through the battlefield and tells them they are alive. Marines panic: "I-IDIOT, THEY'LL HEAR US!!" but another voice says, "IT'S OKAY, WE'RE LETTING THEM KNOW!!!" The Straw Hats hear shouting from somewhere through a Den Den Mushi. "BRO!!! BROOO!!" Franky recognizes it: "IT'S THEM." Across the water, the people thought dead at the main gate are alive, and Marines stare in disbelief. "AREN'T THOSE THE PIRATES THAT WE FINISHED OFF AT THE MAIN GATE!?" one asks. "IMPOSSIBLE...!!" Another insists they all fell to the bottom of the ravine and there is no way they could have survived.

The survivors at the main gate are hanging together in a huge rope net, battered but alive. Marines grumble, "...SHIT, THEY SHOULD'VE JUST KEPT THEIR MOUTHS SHUT," but the giants explain the miracle: "IDIOT, GALLEY-LA'S ROPE WON'T SNAP!!" The group shouts over one another as the net strains: "DON'T PUSH!" "I'M GONNA FALL!" "THE ROPE'S GONNA SNAP?" Yet their message is triumphant: "WE'RE ALL SAFE HERE!!!" They explain that the giants took all of the bombardment for them, and now the warships are coming again. They urge everyone to hurry and climb, while one of them laughs that blood is rushing to his head.

The survivors promise the Straw Hats a path out. "WE HAVE A WAY TO ESCAPE, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!" they shout. "WE'LL SEE YOU GUYS LATER, ALIVE!!" Their courage breaks Franky open. He sobs, "GUUUU-UUYZ!!! VIDIOOOD, I WOULD DEVER WORRY ABOUT YOU GUUYZ!!" and the others laugh through the chaos. They say it will all be meaningless if the Straw Hats die now, but it is still good news: their allies lived, and there is still a route to survival waiting beyond the warships.

The vice admirals are ready to end the operation, but one report stops them. When someone suggests heading to the main gate immediately, another officer says, "NOT NOW!! THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT!!" The mission is not complete because "PIRATE STRAWHAT LUFFY IS ALSO FATALLY WOUNDED" and must not be ignored. The order is sharp: "DON'T TAKE YOUR EYES OFF STRAWHAT IN THE FIRST PROP!!" A Marine observes that Luffy does not seem to be moving from the spot at all. The fleet shifts back toward the wounded captain.
Monkey D. Luffy
07
The Straw Hats stare across the gap at Luffy. He is almost out of reach, slumped in the ruined first prop while the sea and warships surround him. Sogeking shouts, "HURRY UP AND COME HERE!!" and then explains the problem: "IF WE DON'T GET AWAY, WE WON'T SURVIVE!!!" Luffy tries to answer, but can only breathe, "HAA..." and say, "OKAY." Sogeking yells the plan: "USE YOUR GOMU GOMU AND JUMP OVER HERE!! I'LL CARRY YOU FROM HERE!!" But below them the distance is terrible, and everyone can see how little strength Luffy has left.

08
The Marines report that the pirates are going to escape on the convoy, but Luffy cannot move. "MY BODY... CAN'T... WON'T MOVE... AT ALL...!!!" he realizes, staring helplessly from the rubble. Nami refuses to let despair take over: "USOPP!! WE CAN TAKE THE SHIP TO THE PROP WHERE LUFFY IS!! EVERYONE, GET ONBOARD!!" She reminds them, "WE GOT ROBIN BACK, TOO! ALL THAT'S LEFT IS TO GO BACK!!! PLEASE!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!" Sogeking snaps back at Luffy, "...DON'T BE SILLY!!! YOU WON THE BATTLE!!!" but Luffy's body has reached its limit.

The fleet fires. Cannon blasts hit the convoy ship and tear it apart in smoke and water. Nami screams, "NO!!! OUR ESCAPE SHIP!!!" as the one vessel they meant to use is destroyed. Chopper tumbles into the water with Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe, and the crew cries their names: "CHOPPER!!!" "KOKORO-SAN!! CHIMNEY!! GONBE!!" Sogeking stares in horror: "WHAT THE HELL...!? WE'RE DOOMED!! THAT SHIP WAS OUR ONLY WAY OUTTA HERE!!!"

The Straw Hats are thrown from the destroyed ship, battered but alive. Sanji lands with Chopper, Chimney, Gonbe, and others in his arms and says, "SORT OF SAFE~~~!!!" Nami sees him and asks, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME!!?" Sanji apologizes: "YEAH, SORRY, I HAD SOME ERRANDS TO RUN!!" He tells the elderly and children to let go and be good while the Marines shout, "THAT'S IT, PIRATES!!!" The crew has survived the blast, but the battlefield has become even worse and their escape route is gone.

11
The Marines continue firing and order, "CHASE THEM TO THE SECOND PROP!!!" Explosions drive the Straw Hats and their allies forward while they yell, "RUN!!" and "WATCH OUT!!" The bridge behind them crumbles, and the enemy realizes the pirates are trapped. "SHIT!! THE BRIDGE IS GONE!!" one voice says. "WE'RE TRAPPED ON THE PROP!!" Another shouts, "THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ANYMORE!!!" Yet someone insists there will be stronger ones coming out, so they have no choice but to fight all of them there.

12
The order becomes annihilation. "AIM ALL CANNONS AT THE FIRST PROP!!" the fleet commands. "OBLITERATE STRAWHAT LUFFY IMMEDIATELY!!" The crew looks back in horror. "LUFFY'S IN DANGER!!!" someone shouts. Robin tries to use her powers to reach him, but she knows it is no good: even if she pulls him, he will fall into the ocean on the way. The others panic: "STRAW-HAT!!!" "STRAW-HAT-SAAAN!!!" "GERO GEROOO!!!" One of them sums up the disaster: "STRAWHAT-SAN WON, BUT HE CAN'T STAND UP AND IS ABOUT TO BE KILLED!!"
Monkey D. LuffyNico RobinSogekingNamiSanjiFrankyTony Tony Chopper
13
Everyone calls for Luffy at once. "STAND UP, STRAWHAT-SAAAN!!!" "PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, BRAT!!!" "LUFFY!! STAND UP!!! PLEASE!!!" "CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING AT ALL, LUFFY!!?" Luffy lies face-down under the guns and admits, "CRAP... I'M REALLY SCREWED...!!" Then a voice cuts through the panic. Sogeking asks, "WH-WHO IS IT?" and Luffy hears it too. The voice has not belonged to any of them for a while, but now it is back.

14
The strange voice says, "LOOK BELOW." Luffy turns his eyes, confused: "BELOW?" Sogeking cannot hear it clearly and asks, "WHAT!? BELOW..." The voice repeats only through Luffy's awareness, and the crew starts to understand that something impossible is speaking. Nami asks, "WHAT IS IT?" while Robin looks on quietly and Chopper asks, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, REINDEER-CHAN?" Then the fleet gives the countdown: "FIRING AT STRAWHAT LUFFY IN THE FIRST PROP IN 5 SECONDS." Time has almost run out.
Monkey D. LuffySogekingNamiNico RobinTony Tony Chopper
15
The unseen voice commands, "JUMP INTO THE OCEAN!!!" It counts down: "IN 4 SECONDS. 3... 2..." Sogeking repeats it in disbelief: "INTO THE OCEAN!!!" Robin asks, "CAN YOU DROP LUFFY INTO THE OCEAN!?" but another cries, "IDIOT!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF!!?" The answer comes with faith: "WE'LL SURVIVE...!! SHE CAME TO SAVE US!!!" Luffy, still unable to move, understands that they still have one more nakama. The order is reckless, but it is their only path.
Monkey D. LuffySogekingNico RobinNamiSanjiFranky
16
Robin moves first. Chopper asks, "DID YOU LOOK BELOW?" and she answers, "I DID!!!" Her hands bloom with "CIEN FLEUR" and form a path beneath Luffy, turning the impossible fall into a rescue. Luffy cries, "OOH!! I'M MOVING! ROBIN?" while the Marines shout that the pirates are jumping into the ocean and cannot survive there. The voice answers from below: "...LET'S GO BACK, EVERYONE!!" and then, "BACK TO THE SEA OF ADVENTURE AGAIN!!" The crew follows the command as gunfire begins.

17
The Going Merry bursts through the smoke below the bridge. Luffy recognizes her at once: "MERRY~!!!" and the others shout, "THE MERRY~~~!!!" From the ship comes the voice that saved them: "GET ONBOARD. I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU HOME!!" The battered little ship rises beneath the falling crew as cannon fire and collapsing stone rain around her. Their escape ship was destroyed, but their old nakama has come back to carry them home.

The extra page presents an "Are You All Nakama!?" quiz from Lost Marimo. It asks what Captain Kuro, Dr. Kureha, Ms. Doublefinger, Admiral Aokiji, and Sogeking have in common, with a hint that they all have another name. The upside-down answers identify them as Kurahador, Doctorine, Paula, Kuzan, and Usopp. This is useful bonus material for names and aliases, but it is not part of the chapter's main story.
