Luffy stares wide-eyed with a massive grin, stuffing an enormous burger into his mouth with both hands. Cheese and sauce drip down as he bites deeply into the skull-marked patty stacked high with meat, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The Weekly Shonen Jump cover bursts with color, featuring Luffy's straw hat, bold Japanese text, a McDonald's burger coupon, and promotional banners for anime festivals and One Piece cards. A small portrait of a white-haired character appears near the top.

The Straw Hat crew enjoys a vibrant summer beach scene. Nami stands confidently in a polka-dot bikini, hand near her face. Sanji lounges with a drink, Robin poses in a green skirt, Usopp grills meat, Franky flexes while making noodles, Zoro swings a massive blade, Chopper smiles in a kimono, and Luffy leaps in the background near a giant watermelon. Bold letters spell STYLISH SUMMER across the colorful splash page.

A massive sumo wrestler with wild hair and topknot beads sweats heavily as his topknot is sliced off. RUSTLE... The yokozuna's pride fades away as his black bow falls to the ground. Shocked onlookers cry out in the crowd: HIS TOP KNOT WAS CUT OFF, TOO!! NOT ONLY DID URA-SHIMA GET DUMPED... A woman in a kimono stands on a bridge overlooking a town, drawing her sword as onlookers react with surprise. The page declares CHAPTER 916: A GREAT SUMO MATCH IN THE WANO COUNTRY.

A giant sumo wrestler is hurled through the air above a chaotic Wano town square filled with stunned spectators. SO, YOU BETRAYED MEEEEEEE!I someone screams. O-KIKUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! another voice roars. The wrestler crashes down as debris flies. HE LOOKS LIKE A DEMON!! the crowd gasps. WOAH!! A close-up shows the yokozuna's furious, demonic face. In the foreground, a young woman with a bun clutches her face in horror, tears streaming: WHY DID I... DO THAT IN FRONT OF SO MANY PEOPLE...!!!I KYAAAAH!!

The woman with pigtails clutches her face in shock, thinking, "...BUT HE'S NOT THE TYPE OF MAN TO USE IT ON A WOMAN...!!" as the sumo wrestler assumes a wide stance. A voice explains, "OH, NO... THAT STANCE IS...!!" and another warns, "HE'S PREPARING HIS EQUINOX HARITE!!! WHEN HE USES IT, HIS OPPONENTS GO FLYING!!" The massive wrestler lunges forward with an open-palm strike, shouting, "PLEASE FORGIVE ME, LORD URASHIMA." Luffy, eyes wide, begins stretching his arm and yells, "GOMU GOMU NO..." The wrestler roars, "INFERIOR WOMAAAAN!! DIE!!! YOU LOW-CLASS..." while the woman screams, "KYAAA AAAH!!!" A translator note reads: "HARITE IS AN OPEN PALM STRIKE AIMED AT THE FACE. CLOSED FISTS ARE BANNED IN SUMO."

The sumo wrestler unleashes a rapid series of open-palm strikes labeled "TSUPPARI*!!" A note explains: "A FORM OF HARITE, A SERIES OF OPEN PALM STRIKES TOWARDS THE FACE, NECK, OR UPPER BODY. CAN BE FATAL." Luffy and the woman are sent flying backward. The woman cries out in terror while Luffy shouts, "NGGAAAAA AAAH!!!" The wrestler is hurled through the air by a massive counter, yelling "UWOOOOOAAH!!!I" as he crashes into the ring with debris flying. The woman lands safely nearby, and the impact creates a huge dust cloud with the sound "SKID SKID...!!!"

Spectators react in shock as the dust settles. One yells, "DON'T FALTER, YOKO-ZUNA!!" while another shouts, "WHO IS THAT GUY!I THE YOKOZUNA WAS...!!" The woman with pigtails cheers desperately, "YOU CAN DO IT!!" and "LUFFYTARO!!!" Luffy grins wildly in midair. The yokozuna tumbles across the ring with the sound effect "ごごごご" as the crowd gasps, "WOAH, WOAH, WOAH, WOAAAAH!!! TOO CLOSE!!!" In a wide shot of the Wano town, both fighters tumble safely to the ground amid cheers. A voice exclaims, "THEY'RE BOTH SAFE!" with Luffy letting out a relieved "PHEW...!"

The woman with pigtails pleads, "MY HONOUR WILL BE TAINTED!!" The sumo wrestler glares and growls, "IF I DON'T RIP O-KIKU LIMB FROM LIMB... GET OUT OF MY WAY...!!" and demands, "WHAT IS YOUR RELATION TO O-KIKU!I AND WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO BLOCK MY HARITE!I" Luffy stands tall, declaring, "I'M GREAT AT IT, AFTER ALL...!! LET'S SUMO WRESTLE!!" A sign appears: "PIRATE AND SUMO WRESTLER ASPIRANT LUFFY-NO-UMI FIGHTING RECORD: A COMPLETE VICTORY OVER USOPP." The wrestler agrees reluctantly, "ALL RIGHT! I'LL LET YOU DO THAT, BUT ONLY IF YOU CAN BEAT ME!" while muttering, "WHATI" Luffy is then shown being grabbed and pulled away as voices shout, "OUT OF MY WAY!" and "WHAT'S THAT GUY THINKING!I HE'LL BE KILLED!!" with the sound "PFFFFFTTT!!!"

In the chaotic sumo ring, the massive wrestler unleashes a flurry of palm strikes while shouting "BUDDHIST HARITE!!!" as Luffy dodges between the hands with repeated "HUP HUP" leaps. Spectators roar as the wrestler taunts, "YOU WON'T WIN IF YOU KEEP RUNNING AWAY...!!!" and another voice laughs, "WAHAHA!! GOOD LUCK, YA LIL' SHRIMP!!" A commentator notes, "HE'S PRETTY AGILE!! I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S ABLE TO DODGE URASHIMA'S HARITE!!" while the crowd yells "HEY!!" The wrestler then charges with forbidden techniques, declaring "EYE CRUSHER!!!" and "EAR SPLITTER!!!!!" as Luffy protests, "HEY!! AREN'T THOSE AGAINST THE RULES!I" amid heavy impact effects and motion lines.

Luffy stretches his arms with "STRETCH!" and retorts "WHATEVER!" and "OH, WELL..." while leaping forward with a large "BWOOM!!" sound.

THE KOUZUKI FAMILY WAS PLANNING TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY." Luffy, bruised and held, is warned, "YOU... MENTIONED THE KOUZUKI FAMILY EARLIER, DIDN'T YOUI YOU SHOULDN'T CLING TO THE DEAD." Elsewhere, a long-haired man states, "YOU'RE NO MATCH FOR HIM!! HE'LL HAVE A STRAW HAT AROUND HIS NECK!! DON'T LAY A HAND ON HIM!" as a woman replies, "I'M HEADING THAT WAY NOW." and a fish-man gasps, "I THINK I'M GONNA DIE, CAPTAIN..."

SHE COMPLETELY INSULTED ME!! I'M GOING TO CRACK HER SKULL OPEN TO SET AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS!!" while background figures react with "WHAT IS THAT... THINGI" and "I WONDER... WHAT COULD THIS BEI"

A massive explosion erupts across the town, shattering wooden buildings and sending pagoda roofs and debris flying through the air amid thick smoke and impact lines.

Holdem's beast stomach growls loudly with "GRROOO OOWWLL!!" as someone cries, "BIG BRO...!!" Holdem bellows, "HOW DARE YOU DESTROY MY HOUSE WITH ALL OF YOUR SUMO WRESTLING!!!" Below, the ruined house smolders as a voice demands, "URASHIMA FLEW TOWARDS US... AND NOW MY HOUSE IS IN RUINS!! WHAT HOLE DID YOU PEOPLE CRAWL OUT OF!I" Luffy and allies spot a small girl and shout, "O-TAMA!!!" "TAMA!!!" The page ends with the One Piece logo and chapter note.
