A title illustration shows Monkey D. Luffy in a straw hat and blue outfit leaping through a lush jungle, staff in hand, pointing forward with excitement. Beside him stands a woman with long dark hair wearing a pink hooded jacket, smiling and waving. Sunlight streams through the trees past a tall waterfall. The page is framed by One Piece series branding and.

A massive explosion rocks the sea as the crew reacts in shock to news in the newspaper. "THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY GOT BEATENI!" someone shouts as the ship pitches wildly. "WHAAAAAATI!" "EVERYONE'S STUNNED!!!" The crew pores over the paper. "YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER BROTHERI! AND HE'S THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY CHIEF OF STAFFI!" cries one voice. "THE ONE YOU SAID YOU MET UP WITH ON DRESSROSAI!" "AH! SABO! THAT'S MY BROTHER!" Luffy exclaims. An unseen speaker adds, "IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY... AREN'T YOU THE REVOLUTIONARY DRAGON'S..." "THAT MEANS HE'S THEIR SECOND STRONGEST MEMBER!" The skeleton-headed figure notes. A close-up shows an old man with a scar: "MONKEY D. DRAGON. YOUR FATHER'S NAME IS..." The blonde girl gasps, "HUHI OF COURSE!" Luffy beams while holding the paper, "YOUR GRANDPA SAID SO TWO YEARS AGO, DIDN'T HEI" She continues, "WAIT A SEC... DOES THAT MEAN THAT THIS PERSON, HERE, NEXT TO HIM, DRAGON, IS..." "WHY IS IT THAT ALL OF YOUR SIBLINGS ARE CRAZY, DANGEROUS PEOPLEI!"

Luffy stares in shock, sweat flying, "IS YOUR FATHER!" A dramatic close-up of the scarred man declares, "DRAGON, THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY..." Impact lines explode across the panel. The crew reacts wildly on deck: "HOW ARE YOU JUST REALIZING THIS NOWI!" "WHAAAAI! LUFFY, YOUR DAD IS THE BOSS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMYI!" Luffy yells, "THIS GUY'S MY DADI!" The skeleton figure laughs, "WELL, A PICTURE DOESN'T DO HIS PRESENCE JUSTICE, YOHOHOHO!" "OI! LUFFY!" Luffy clutches the paper, "ANYWAY, I'M WORRIED ABOUT SABO!" The blonde woman frets, "HUH... FIRST TIME I'M ACTUALLY SEEING HIM. DOESN'T LOOK A THING LIKE ME." "I'D HAVE THOUGHT YOU'D BE MORE CURIOUS ABOUT WHO HE IS! HE'S BEYOND FAMOUS! ROBIN EVEN STAYED WITH HIM FOR QUITE A LONG TIME!"

The blonde woman reads from the paper, "EXCEPT BY THE TIME THE MARINES AND CIPHER POL ARRIVED, THE BLACKBEARD PIRATES HAD ALREADY DESTROYED THE PLACE, APPARENTLY." Luffy growls, "BASED ON INTEL FROM AN UNIDENTIFIED INDIVIDUAL, THEY WERE ABLE TO LOCATE THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY HEADQUARTERS!" She continues, "GO AFTER THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMYI WHY WOULD BLACKBEARD..." Luffy shouts in fury, "BLACKBEARDI! THOSE GUYS!" The skeleton figure explains, "HOWEVER, THERE ISN'T MUCH INFORMATION REGARDING THOSE KILLED OR WOUNDED." "IT SEEMS THE YONKOU BLACKBEARD FLED AFTER BRIEFLY CLASHING WITH CIPHER POL." Luffy and the woman react with alarm as another panel shows chaos, "ON DRESSROSA, SABO AND THAT CHAMPION GUY FOUGHT... MAYBE THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT." "OI~"

The crew argues on deck. "WHAT IS ITI! SHEESH. OI! LUFFY!" Luffy yells back. The skeleton figure says, "I GUESS WE CAN TENTATIVELY SAY THAT THEY ARE SAFE, BEING AT LEAST." Luffy smiles, "OH YEAH! YOU'RE RIGHT!" The scarred man warns, "THAT WOULD BE HUGE NEWS. I'M CERTAIN THEY WOULDN'T LEAVE IT OUT." "IF PERCHANCE YOUR FATHER OR BROTHER WERE CAPTURED OR EVEN KILLED..." Suddenly smoke and flames erupt from the ship. Luffy panics, "AAH! I FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE STOVE!" "FIREI!" The skeleton figure cries, "I'M FINE WITH YOU MAKING FOOD FOR US, BUT IS THE KITCHEN SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THATI" The blonde woman shouts, "A STORM'S COMING!" "WAIT! PUT OUT THE FIRE!" An explosion rocks the ship, "GYAAAH! IT EXPLODED!" The vessel tilts wildly in the waves.

A violent storm rages at sea. Lightning cracks across the sky as Luffy clings to the ship, shouting "OH! SWEET!" while a crewmate yells "THERE'S NOTHING 'SWEET' ABOUT IT, DUMBASS!" Others panic: "WHAT ABOUT THE FIREI!" "THE RAIN'LL PUT IT OUT!" "QUICKLY! FURL THE SAILS! THEY'LL GET SHREDDED BY THE WIND!" A massive bolt strikes, electrocuting someone who screams "KYAAAAAAAH!" and "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ONI! IS THAT ELECTROI!" The ship is battered by huge waves. A fish-man-like figure cries "I'M HALF DEAD, WOMAN! YOU NEED TO HELP OUT TOO!" as the vessel is tossed violently. The scene shifts to calm seas where Zunesha the giant elephant walks through the water carrying the island of Zou on its back. A signpost reads "ZOU". Voices discuss: "RIGHT NOW, CARROT'S SAILING THE SEASI" "SO IT SEEMS..." "SO..."

At the castle on Zou, a small figure in a top hat reports nervously: "I'M SORRY-GOSARU! I WANTED TO STOP WANDA, BUT CARROT SAID IF I TOLD ANYONE, THEY'D STOP HER, AND..." Wanda, the dog mink, questions "WHY DIDN'T YOU MENTION THIS EARLIER, BARIETEI" Bariete replies that Carrot quietly gathered her things. A black spherical mink with a top hat exclaims "CARROT WANTED TO BETRAY YOU, WANDA!" but another voice cuts in "BUT! IT'S NOT LIKE... SHE BRIBED YOU, DIDN'T SHEI!" The top-hatted mink shivers, realizing "AH. NOW I SEE..." Duke Inuarashi, the large dog mink ruler, listens as the black mink suggests "IF YOU WANT US TO KEEP WATCH, WE CAN POST GUARDS." Inuarashi replies "DUKE! PLEASE, GET SOME REST." The black mink adds "IF LUFFY AND THE OTHERS ARE WITH HER, SHE SHOULD BE OKAY." Wanda concludes "I WAS ACTUALLY BEGINNING TO WORRY WHERE SHE'D GONE. I KNOW, IT'S OKAY. I'M GLAD I LEARNED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER."

Duke Inuarashi, bandaged and serious, states "I CAN ONLY HOPE IT WAS LOST ALONG WITH THEIR SHIP WHEN ZUNISHA SUNK IT." Wanda replies "HOW IN THE WORLD DID THEY GET THEIR HANDS ON SUCH A THINGI!" and "OUR ENEMIES PROBABLY HAVE A VIVRE CARD LEADING THEM TO THIS PLACE." They agree they must be wary, noting the enemies will return. Underwater, fish swim past ruins as a small figure calls "COME ON ALREADY..." The scene cuts to Jack the Drought, heavily injured and bound, snarling "PULL ME THE FUCK OUTTA HERE... SOMEONE COME AND..." with massive impact sound effects.

Jack is violently attacked in a massive explosion of debris and impact effects "ドゴォン!!" and "ドドドドン!!" as a cloaked figure strikes him. He screams "GYAAH!" and "JUST WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN, EHI!" Nearby, Beasts Pirates react in panic: "WITH THIS, THE FINAL NAIL HAS BEEN DRIVEN INTO THE COFFIN OF OUR SYNTHETIC DEVIL FRUIT, SMILE, TRADE." "LORD JACK'S JOKER RESCUE MISSION ENDED IN FAILURE AS WELL..." "GLUG GLUG" "UIII!" "SNIFFLE" One pirate sobs "I GUESS TODAY HE'S BEING A SENTIMENTAL DRUNK." Jack, bloodied and furious, growls "ANY MORE GIFTERSI WAAAAAA AAALGH~" and "SO YOU'RE TELLING ME WE WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE..." Other crew members lament "POOR JOKER! YOU JUST HAPPENED TO BE TOO DAMN WEAK..." "THOSE KIDS JUST KILLED THAT DREAM HALF-GROWN!" and discuss taking the Straw Hat lightly while noting his powerful aura. A wanted poster of Luffy is visible as one pirate declares "I HAD MY HEART SET ON AN ONLY-DEVIL FRUIT USER PIRATE CREW! THE BEST THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!"

A figure guzzles heavily from a bottle, "GLUG GLUG GLUG...!!" then gasps, "...AH..." as the drink takes hold. The sea churns with debris and distant wreckage. Suddenly the drinker transforms, roaring "LAAAGHHHH!!!" as the narration states, "NOW HE'S TRANSFORMED INTO A RAGING DRUNK!" The enraged man glares with bloodshot eyes and snarls, "I KNOW 'EM ALRIGHT! THEY'RE FROM THAT GENERATION! TRAFALGAR LAW! STRAW HAT LUFFY! THEY SHOULD BE WELL AWARE THAT THEY'VE STUCK THEIR NOSES INTO MY DEALINGS BY NOW. ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE OUT A SHICHIBUKAI OR TWO... AND NOW THEY THINK THEY'RE REALLY HOT SHIT..." He bellows in fury, "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AMI!"

The drunkard continues, "'CUZ UP UNTIL NOW, YOU'VE SIMPLY BEEN PLAYING LITTLE PIRATE GAMES!" then orders, "YOU IDIOTS BETTER RUN... GO ON... TELL 'EM! GULP OI... TELL 'EM." In a rocky cavern, Eustass Kid appears in full armor, identified by voices shouting "KIDD! CAPTAIN EUSTASS!!!" Meanwhile, on the open sea, Chopper reports, "I CLOSED UP THE ROOF!" as the crew hears "BANG CLANG" and shivers, "BRRR, IT'S FREEZING!" Someone praises, "GOOD WORK." The Thousand Sunny sails onward with a sign reading "RETURNING TO THE THOUSAND SUNNY."

Luffy beams and announces, "I ALSO KEPT THE FOOD SAFE SO NOW EVERYONE CAN DIG RIGHT IN! OKAY! THE STORM'S GONE, AND I FIXED THE ROOF THAT THE STORM BLEW AWAY!" The crew reacts with shock as Luffy's meal is revealed, prompting screams of "GYAAAAAH!" and "OH! IS IT THAT GOODI!" Nami and others cheer, "YAAAY! FOOD! I'M STARVING!" but quickly complain about the bizarre dish: "WHAT IS THIS STRANGE, TRANSPARENT, JELLY-LIKE SUBSTANCE... AND WHY'D YOU PUT IN SO MUCH JAMI WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FISH BONES IN HERE... WHAT IS THIS BITTER PURPLE STUFFI! LUFFY... YOU HAVE TO BOIL RICE BEFORE YOU CAN EAT IT..." Luffy proudly replies, "IT'S THE LUFFY SPECIAL... MY SECRET 'RANDOM CURRY'!"

The crew recoils in disgust, shouting "DON'T ASK US!" and "BLEECCCH! GROSS!" while Luffy protests, "BUNCH OF INGRATES. I GO OUT OF MY WAY TO MAKE ALL OF THIS FOR YOU ALL... SHEESH." Nami admits, "AH... YEAH... I MESSED UP A BUNCH OF TIMES SO I ENDED UP HAVING TO USE ALL OF IT." She panics upon seeing the empty storage, "EH!I WHERE ARE ALL THE PROVISIONS I STORED HEREI!" The narration declares, "FACE-TO-FACE WITH STARVATION." The crew despairs, "WHAT THE HECK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO EAT NOWI!" and "SANJI... SAVE US..." as Luffy is told, "YOU USED OUR ENTIRE WEEK'S WORTH OF SUPPLIES IN ONE GO!" He answers, "WELL, YOU WERE ALL SO HUNGRY!"

A few days later, Big Mom's massive pirate ship sails through the sea, its towering figurehead grinning as musical notes drift from the deck. "YOU'D THINK THIS WAS SNOW..." someone remarks while bubbles fill the air. "MUHAHA... IT'S COTTON CANDY SNOW-DE SOIRE," another voice adds. The ship is labeled "BIG MOM" and a sign reads "BIG MOM'S PIRATE SHIP." Below deck or on a nearby vessel, Sanji stands licking a sweet treat. "THIS AREA IS ALREADY PART OF MAMA'S TERRITORY-SOUFFLE. IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE PICKING UP THE WARNING FREQUENCIES-BON!" a cloaked figure explains. "THE DEN DEN MUSHIS HAVE BEEN RINGING OFF THE HOOK..." Sanji licks his finger, murmuring "WOW, SO SWEET..." A large man in a top hat gestures toward the ship. "OUR BIG MOM PIRATE CREW-MILLE FEUILLE! IF THIS WASN'T BIG MOM'S SHIP, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT DOWN-BON!" A small branch labeled "#28 TARTE" floats nearby as the vessel continues onward.

Sanji stands with arms crossed, cigarette in mouth. "HE AND I NO LONGER HAVE ANY RELATION. I CUT MY TIES WITH HIM LONG AGO." The mustached man in a top hat leans in aggressively. "THAT IS WHAT YOUR FATHER WISHES OF YOU-AMOUR! ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE GERMA 66. STOP PLAYING HARD TO GET AND JOIN OUR BIG MOM PIRATE CREW..." Sanji turns away sharply. "DON'T PLAY THE PROUD FOOL, MAMA IS IN A MORE WELCOMING MOOD THAN YOU THINK. I'M JUST HERE TO TALK." The man continues, "AND THAT YOU WERE ONCE A CHEF ON THAT FLOATING RESTAURANT IN EAST BLUE. OF COURSE, SHE KNOWS THAT YOU'RE PART OF THE STRAW HAT CREW-SIL VOUS PLAIT, SHE THINKS VERY HIGHLY OF YOU-BON!" Sanji's expression hardens as the conversation grows tense.

Sanji snaps, "CUT THE BULLSHIT!" The top-hatted man sits casually with his cane. "DEPENDING ON YOUR SKILLS, YOU MAY WELL FIND YOURSELF IN QUITE COMFORTABLE CIRCUMSTANCES INDEED-JOUIR." In a close-up, Sanji raises his hands, eyes fierce. "THEY EXIST ONLY TO MAKE FOOD FOR MY FRIENDS! LISTEN CAREFULLY! THESE HANDS OF MINE," he declares passionately. The top-hatted man reacts with shock. "AH... THAT INCIDENT WITH PEKOMS. THAT SAW FIT TO KILL THEIR OWN CREW MEMBER. MISTAKE OR NOT, THERE'S NOT A SINGLE DISH I'D SERVE TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE..." Sanji looks down, recalling, "BEGE WAS RIGHT TO DO WHAT HE DID. HE LET HIS PERSONAL FEELINGS GET IN THE WAY OF HIS ASSIGNMENT." The top-hatted man laughs, "MUHAHA! HOW FOOL-ISH! I BET THOSE GUYS ARE MISSING MY COOKING RIGHT ABOUT NOW... I'VE TRAINED LIKE A MAD-MAN AND GONE THROUGH HELL AND BACK FOR THAT REASON ALONE!!! WEEPING UNCONTROLLABLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO TASTE IT."

The top-hatted man, identified as BARON TAMAGO, and a long-nosed man named VITO react with surprise. "I GUESS HE SHOULD GET HIS HEART READY, OR, RATHER... A PICTURE OF LADY PUDDING HAS ARRIVED FROM WHOLE CAKE ISLAND!" they exclaim. Sanji stares at the image. "THE 35TH DAUGHTER OF THE CHARLOTTE FAMILY, THIS IS YOUR BRIDE-TO-BE..." The men discuss, "MARRYING SOMEONE AFTER A FEW DAYS OF GETTING TO KNOW THEM IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME DAMN THING! WHO THE HELL EVEN SAID I'D MARRY HER ANYWAYI MARRYING SOMEONE JUST AFTER MEETING THEM... IS INDEED A CRUEL FATE, SO, CONSIDER THIS A COURTESY..." A large panel reveals the photo: a beautiful young woman with curly hair, hearts floating around her. "PUDDING! LADY CHARLOTTE" the text declares as Sanji's eyes widen at the sight of his arranged bride.
