One Piece Chapter 705: Maynard the Pursuer

Burgess laughs wildly with arms raised, shouting "わあああああああ BURGESS!!!". The scene shifts to the Corrida Colosseum with the label SCENE 1: CORRIDA COLOSSEUM. Spectators react in shock: "WHAT INSANE STRENGTH...!!" and "BLACKBEARD'S PIRATE CREW, HUH...". In the stands, a man in a top hat and a woman with long hair argue urgently. "YAYA!I PLEASE WAIT! I WILL GO AS WELL!!" "ANYWAY, I'LL GO AHEAD AND GET TO WORK..." "LIKE I SAID, STOP GETTING IN THE WAY!!" A bearded man in a hat thinks to himself: "I THOUGHT THAT LUFFY WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WINNING A TOURNAMENT LIKE THIS, BUT... LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE SOME UNEXPECTEDLY ROUGH FIGHTS AHEAD... IT'D BE BEST IF WE COULD AVOID REVEALING HIS IDENTITY, BUT..."

The man in the top hat continues speaking intensely: "PLEASE! PLEASE WAIT!!" "WHAT DO YOU WANT!!!I" "AND BEAT THE INFO OUT OF HIM..." "I NEED TO FIND THE HIGHEST RANKING DOFLAMINGO FAMILY MEMBER AROUND" "I'VE GOT NOT USE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THE FACTORY IS!!" A small robot-like figure labeled SOL appears. Nearby panels show the bearded man asking "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUTI" while SOL replies "LET'S CHANGE LOCATIONS!!!" "WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IMPORTANT HERE! IT'S A TABOO!!". In the audience seating area, spectators discuss: "TO THINK IT WOULD COME TO THIS..." "SO WE'VE DECIDED ON REQUESTING REINFORCEMENTS..." "YEAH... ALL SORTS OF GUYS SHOWING UP!" "THE 'PIRATE MERCENARY' HILDEEN" "AND GANBIA THE MISSIONARY...!I" "I WAS ALSO SURPRISED AT BURGESS' PRESENCE..."

A muscular man with curly hair, goggles, and cross tattoos laughs while pointing forward: "TALKING TO YOUR-SELFI" "YO, YO, MISTER!". In a waiting room corner, a figure labeled ROGER sits and says "I'LL CONFIRM WITH ISSHO-SAN SHORTLY" "IN ONE CORNER OF THE COLOSSEUM'S WAITING ROOM". A close-up shows a suspicious figure asking "A BIT SUSPICIOUS, NOI HA HA" "YOU... MIGHT YOU BE COMMUNICATING WITH SOMEONE ON THE OUTSIDEI". The same muscular man, identified as BARTOLOMEO PIRATE CREW STAFF OFFICER Ganbia the Missionary BOUNTY: 67 MILLION BERRIES, reacts with "...WHAT'S GOING ONI" "YOU... ARE YOU..." "HA HA HA!!...TAKING SOME NOTES, THEREI" "SNEAKILY TRYING TO MAKE THOSE COOL GUYS YOU NAMED FAMOUS!I". A click sound effect is heard as he says "I'LL CALL BACK IN 10 MINUTES."

A massive splash erupts as a hand plunges into filthy water near a stone arch labeled TOILETS/GARBAGE DUMP. Maynard, disguised as Capman with a black cape and spiked collar, stands in the sewer tunnel, sweat dripping from his muscular frame. He mutters to himself while adjusting his outfit. Speech bubbles read: BARTOLOMEO'S MAN... GO AHEAD AND FORGET ABOUT HIM... I MUST HAVE BEEN SEEING THINGS. Another voice replies: AH, GANBIA THE MISSIONARY, WHO I MENTIONED BEFORE... MY APOLOGIES. I'VE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM... A sign identifies him as FIGHTER 0429: Capman (MARINE HQ VICE ADMIRAL: MAYNARD THE PURSUER).

The Corrida Colosseum roars with cheering spectators as the announcer declares ENTER, COMBATANTS!!! MOVING ON, IT'S TIME FOR B-BLOCK!! A scarred man with a serious expression leans forward and says THAT WAS QUITE A FEW NOTABLE NAMES... SHALL WE BE GOING NOWI In the streets below, cloaked figures walk past the arena. One asks EHH... WHERE WAS IT... AH... "GREEN BIT"I Another replies FOR THE TIME BEING, THEY SHOULD HEAD TO... I'D LIKE TO BRING OVER THREE BATTLESHIPS... NOW, HOW SHOULD WE GO ABOUT THIS...I OH... HERE'S YOUR COAT... YES, THERE.

Fujitora stands tall with his cane, his Marine coat draped over his shoulders. He speaks calmly: REQUEST A LARGE NUMBER OF MEDICAL OFFICERS. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE INJURIES... AND ALSO... WHAT WAS IT... RIGHT... AS WELL AS THE POPULATION OF THIS CITY... AND OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY... I'D LIKE YOU TO FIND OUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THE AUDIENCE... RATHER THAN THE NUMBER OF ENEMIES... SHOULDN'T ONE INSTEAD COUNT THE NUMBER OF THOSE WHO NEED PROTECTING...I A cloaked figure with 正義 on his back reacts with shock as Fujitora taps his cane. A sign reads MARINE HQ ADMIRAL Fujitora (Issho).

At a cafe in the northeast, a sign reads CAFE BAR LA BALTAD. The scene is labeled SCENE 2: CAESAR EXCHANGE TEAM. A group sits around a table: a woman in a sun hat and sunglasses, a large man in a gas mask marked GAS, a tall figure in a striped coat, and a woman in a black hood. One asks YOU GUYS RESEARCHERSI OR EXPLORERSI Another replies CAN'T REALLY RECOMMEND IT... BUT THE BRIDGE IS STURDY ENOUGH, YESI A close-up shows a scarred man saying UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING WORTH RISKING YOUR LIVES FOR... I SAY DON'T GO... A speech bubble notes GREEN BIT, HUH...

On a wide iron bridge spanning a green-tinted waterway, townspeople and travelers walk past barricades and warning signs. A voice notes, "But, well, look at the entrance..." Another replies, "For sure. It's an iron bridge." A third adds, "As you can see, no one's using it." Further along the bridge, a hooded traveler with a bag slung over his shoulder listens as locals explain the situation. "Seems like until they appeared, people came and went regularly. Started about 200 years ago, I hear..." "All around green bit... There live swarms of 'fighting fish'..." A fish-like man in goggles and a chain necklace exclaims in alarm, "No useI...O!! You saying that even an iron bridge could be brought down by these fish!I" The hooded man remains silent. A bald man labeled "CHIEF" gestures wildly, "Well, they'll capsize it!! Violent fish with horns. If a ship approaches..." The man in the top hat and striped scarf concludes, "Shuroro roro... sir... Just what are these 'fighting fish'I"

The man in the top hat and striped scarf shouts furiously at the fish-like man, "Indeed! The guy you're exchanging agrees!! You fool!!" The fish-like man panics, "Oi!! Tora-man!!! Change the location of the exchange!!!" The hooded traveler walks away down a narrow street as a voice calls after him, "What!!I" A background sign reads "YAPP." The top-hatted man continues, "Although I don't know what has become of the bridge... only those who've gone can say..." In a close-up, he points emphatically, "Rather than that... what I'm worried about is the current state of this country. Even though their king just abdicated... this city is perfectly calm...!! We're not changing anything. We've come this far, so quit complaining." Elsewhere, a hooded woman with sunglasses asks a cloaked figure, "What's up, Robi...I" The cloaked man replies, "HmmI" The fish-like man points accusingly, "Even if it's still a bit soon, this is far from what I expected...!! That's what you're worried about!!I"

The top-hatted man reacts with shock, "Why are they here...I It's 'CP-O'....!! Ehh...!I 'CP'...!I" In the background, a cloaked figure flees as bystanders react, "Ugeh!!" and "Who the hell are they...!I" The fish-like man sweats, "Could... could they be connected with 'CP-9'...!I" A tall figure in a top hat, frilled collar, and long coat stands beside a massive cloaked individual with wild black hair and a skeletal mask. The narration declares, "The world's strongest intelligence agency CP-AIGIS0." The fish-like man gasps, "!I They're the highest ranking of the agencies... When they appear, you can be sure nothing good is going on." The hooded traveler thinks, "...That's for sure..."

A spiky-haired man lunges forward with a fierce grin, grabbing a sword and shouting, "Gotcha now!! I'll be taking my sword and..." A caption reads, "Scene 3: The Fairy and Zoro." In the background, a small figure is sent flying, "Darry aaah!!" The spiky-haired man is struck hard, flipping through the air with a cry of "Kyah hhhh!!" A cloaked figure reacts, "Uhh!!!I" The attacker is slammed into a building, "Ah," as debris flies. The spiky-haired man crashes through another structure, "Eh," while the small figure tumbles helplessly. A title box labels the sequence "The Fairy and Zoro."

An explosion erupts as a figure is blasted backward amid smoke and debris, "ドシ ャッ!!" "OOF!!" A bearded man with sunglasses recoils in shock, "HE GOT ME!!" Nearby, small figures panic in the aftermath. "THE HUMAN... AH" "GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE" "WE'VE REALLY SCREWED UP!! A HUMAN SAW US!!" "OW... OWOWOWO THIS IS BAD, BAD!!" one coughs violently. In a large panel, Kinemon stands tall in his top hat and cloak, declaring boldly, "I AM BUT A SIMPLE OLD MAN, THAT I AM!!" He demands, "JUST WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE!I" A caption reads: SCENE 4: KINEMON, ALONE AND ASTRAY.

On stone steps, armed figures confront a cloaked man. "YOU'RE A SAMURAI...!!" "THERE'S NO MISTAKING IT! YOU'RE KINEMON OF THE FOXFIRE!!" they accuse. The cloaked figure retorts, "LIAR....!!" "THAT HAT, IT'S IN THE SHAPE OF A TOPKNOT!!" A mustached man levels a spiked gun, threatening, "IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE LIFE OF THAT 'KANJURO' WHO YOU'RE AFTER!!" "WE CONFIRMED THAT YOU WERE ON THE PUNK HAZARD BROADCAST" "RIGHTI NOW COME QUIETLY..." "AND NOW YOU'VE RETURNED HERE, SAMURAI....!!" Through a sniper scope, a voice mutters "HMMI" "I'VE CONFIRMED THE TARGET...!!" A caption states: SCENE 5: SANJI, IN LOVE.

Sanji leaps through the air with a powerful kick, "URAAH!!" A sniper is struck midair. Voices react: "NO, NO. A SNIPER 8 METERS UP IN THE AIRI" "A SIMPLE MATTER ♥" "AMAZING... YOU..." "YOU'RE SO STRONG!!" In a heart-filled panel, Sanji embraces a dark-haired woman, hearts swirling as he declares, "Here... we're experiencing the hurricane known as love...!!" "AS LONG AS I'M HERE WITH YOU!!" She replies, "YOU'RE SO RELIABLE" He continues, "For you see, now, I'm in love!!" A thought bubble shows, "Dear Nami-san, Robin-chan... How is the weather where you areI"

A caption reads: SCENE 6: SUNNY-GO SAFETY AND SECURITY TEAM. On the Thousand Sunny at sea, Chopper in a hat shouts, "YOU MUSTN'T DRINK IT ALL, THAT YOU MUSTN'T!!" "INCORRECT!!!" while sipping, "SIP SIP GULP GULP" In a room, retainers fuss over tea service. "BRING THE TEA, CHOPEREMON!" "LET'S TRY AGAIN!" "TO CHECK FOR POISON, THAT IT IS!" "IS TO CONSUME ONLY A BIT OF THE SHOGUN'S FOOD" "LISTEN! THE ROLE OF A 'TASTER'..." "UNDERSTOODI" "YES YES" Nami, dressed as a maid labeled "O-NAMI", fans a lounging figure and asks, "MY LORD, HOW ARE YOU FEELINGI" The figure answers, "MM I AM SATISFIED AND WELL AT EASE" She smiles, "ARE YOU NOW... THAT'S WONDERFUL, THAT IT IS ♥" Another maid promises, "I SHALL BRING IT QUICKLY, THAT I SHALL!! MY LORD!"

On the Sunny, Nami reacts in shock as Brook plays his guitar wildly. "EHI ISN'T THIS A LAP PILLOW PARTY!I WHAT KIND OF PARTY!I" she yells. Brook strums hard, shouting "THAT... THAT HURTS, NAMI-SAN!! DOBEBA ROBANU!!" and declares with hearts, "I AM ALSO SATISFIED!! YOHOHO". Chopper and others discuss Luffy's silence: "HE HASN'T SAID ANYTHING, BUT AT THAT AGE... HE CLAIMS UP AND FALLS INTO DEEP THOUGHT. THAT MOMO... WHEN WE LEAVE HIM ALONE..." They note, "PLAYING... SHOGUN!I WE'RE PLAYING 'SHOGUN'!I" Franky bursts in yelling "JUST DO IT!!" while a round-headed figure protests, "NO WAY. I ONLY TAKE ORDERS FROM LUFFY-SAN... PROVIDE SOME ENTERTAINMENT ON THE SIDE! HEY, BONEY!" Someone concludes, "...REALLY NOW....SO THAT'S HOW IT IS..."

Brook's music echoes with "THUMP CRASH" and "STRUM" as he sings "THE VITALITY CORPSE COMES BACK!!! EVEN BURIED, EVEN BURIED YEAH!!" while dancing. Crew members react with "EHI" and "NO WAY NO WAY". Footsteps approach: "FLUMP FLUMP TAP TAP" and "CRASH CLANG!!" Someone whispers, "NO... THIS WON'T DO... NO, NO..." as rustling sounds fill the air. A figure asks, "RIGHT!I EH, WHAT'S THAT NOISE!I EH!I I THOUGHT NO ONE WAS ON THE SHIP BESIDES US". The group freezes in fear: "SCARY... WEIRD..." Suddenly a massive skull-faced figure roars, "THERE'S SOMEONE THERE!!" as a voice questions, "A VOICE...II"

At the Corrida Colosseum, the massive arena looms as voices ask, "WHAT ABOUT 'BARTOLOMEO'I IS 'CAPMAN' HERE!I" and note "CALLING B-BLOCK PARTICIPANTS!!" A guard reports, "YOU... YOU'RE 'BARTOLOMEO,' YES!I B-BLOCK IS STARTING!" while checking a clipboard with "AH". In the shadows, a figure mutters, "... WELL..." A massive, sweating man with a furious expression lies on the ground thinking, "THE CRAZED ROOKIE BARTO LOMEO!! THIS GUY IS BAD!!" as another voice inquires, "AND... HAVE YOU SEEN 'CAPMAN' AROUND HEREI"
