One Piece Chapter 979: Family Trouble

00AI-written

The title page displays the massive ONE PIECE logo with skull and crossbones. Below it reads CHAPTER 979: FAMILY TROUBLE. The illustration shows a stormy sea with two large ships: a wrecked ornate vessel marked with the number 1 and a pirate ship marked 2 flying a crown-shaped Jolly Roger. Small figures scramble on the decks as waves crash. At the bottom a caption box states GANG BEGE OH MY FAMILY VOL. 26 "THE TONTATTA TRIBE STUMBLE UPON A WRECKED SHIP". The author credit reads EIICHIRO ODA.

Orochi throws his head back in wild laughter, mouth wide open, eyes bulging, while holding a sake cup. Large SFX read ぎゃはははは. A box labels him OROCHI. Another box states IS AT A CALM MIND. Smaller panels show a hand tying a scroll to a messenger bird. Narration reads: THE MOVEMENTS OF THE RED SCABBARDS. THANKS TO THE MESSAGE FROM KANJURO, HE COULD TRACK. THE VENGEFUL PLAN OF THE SAMURAI. HE COULD CONTAIN. THANKS TO THE PERFECT STRATEGY, THEIR GHOSTS WOULD FINALLY BE ABLE TO VANISH FROM HIS NIGHTMARES. The final panel shows three large ships marked 1, 2, and 3 sailing through rough seas toward a massive explosion and smoke on the water.

A giant skull-shaped fortress looms over Onigashima with lanterns and buildings. Narration states THE RAID HAS ALREADY BEGUN!! HOWEVER, IN ONIGASHIMA. Large SFX read ドドドド and ベンッ. Below, chaotic battle panels show Kin'emon's forces clashing with the Eastern troops. Kin'emon stands with arms crossed, glaring. Narration reads KINEMON'S FORCES. THE EASTERN TROOPS. Further down, Denjiro's forces appear with the Southern troops. A large box states THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MEN EXCEED 5000!!! Denjiro stands with a stern expression beside other fighters.

Inside Law's submarine, Law stands with his crew including Bepo and others in diving suits. Narration reads THEY WERE ADVANCING TO THE OCEAN DEPTHS WITH THE RED SCABBARDS. IN LAW'S SUBMARINE. A diagram shows Kaido's castle with arrows marking Southern troops, Eastern troops, and the target. Narration states THE CASTLE WHERE KAIDO AND OROCHI RESIDE!!! THEIR TARGET. On the surface, Kin'emon walks with a small child holding his hand. Narration reads BUT AS KINEMON PREDICTED, HE HAS YET TO GET THERE. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET WITH OROCHI. AS FOR KANJURO, WHO HAD MOMO AS HOSTAGE. Kin'emon says, I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THIS COMPLICATED...!!!! The child replies, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER BEEN HERE...

A long-haired woman sweats heavily in panic, shouting "BUT HOW DO I GET TO HIMI!" while thinking "REPORT TO SIR OROCHI ABOUT KINEMON AND THE OTHERS...!!!" "I AM STILL AN ENEMY IN THEIR EYES..." "I MUST AT ANY COST". Nearby panels show intense sword clashes with "CLANG" and "ドシン" sounds as bandaged fighters clash. A large chaotic spread reveals an advancing army of roughly 5000 men charging a wooden gate and bridge. Narration boxes state "STILL AREN'T AWARE" "THAT THE ARMY OF ROUGHLY 5000 MEN ARE ADVANCING!!!" and "THE ENEMY FORCES" as soldiers roar and raise weapons amid dust and motion lines.

A skull-faced figure exclaims "HMMI I REMEMBER THESE FROM OUR BATTLE IN FISH-MAN ISLAND!!" while another replies "NAH JINBEI, THESE ARE NEW MODELS!!" and "EVERYONE LEFT. WE'LL CATCH UP IN NO TIME!". A massive tank labeled "KUROSAI FR-U" and "NUMBER 4" barrels forward with "NUMBER 4!!!" and "KUROSAI FR-U" marked on it. Chopper, in a helmet marked "5", yells "I RUN THIS TANK!! CALL ME COMMANDER CHOPPER!!" as the vehicle labeled "BRACHIO TANK NUMBER 5!!" fires with loud "ドン!!" impacts and exhaust clouds. A note reads "NDT NOTE: KUROSAI = BLACK RHINOCEROS".

Crew members discuss "WELL, WHEN KID'S CREW RUSHED IN FROM THE FRONT, LUFFY SAID:" "WHERE'S LUFFYI" "TO THINK WE HAD THIS ON THE SUNNY!" "YOU'RE TOO COOL, CHOBRO!" "AWESOME! WITH THIS WE CAN ADVANCE SAFELY!" "LEAVE IT TO ME!". A tense panel shows Luffy shouting "HE'S DEFINITELY GETTING SPOTTED!!" with allies reacting in shock. Zoro thinks "HE'S FOR SURE GETTING LOST!!!" while another states "LUFFY'S GETTING SPOTTED! LET ME MAKE SURE HE GOES DISCRETELY!!" and "THEN RORONOA ZORO THOUGHT TO HIMSELF:" as figures react with wide eyes and sweat drops.

The group argues "WE'RE OCCUPIED!!" "HOW ABOUT WE JUST RENDEZVOUS IN THE BATTLEFIELD INSTEAD, LET THOSE IDIOTS FOLLOW THEIR DEVICES!" with hearts floating near a flirtatious figure saying "NAMI-SAANI". Usopp panics "MEI I'D LOVE TO!" while Franky offers "YOU MIND TAKING A RIDE ON THE BACKI" and questions "COME ON, USOPP! IS THAT PLACE LIKE A PARADISE OR SOMETHINGI". A massive explosion erupts with "ドドドドド!!" as Brook laughs "A RIDE-ALONG BETWEEN GUYS ISN'T BAD EITHER! YOHHOHO!!" and the woman snaps "HUHHI THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY AN OFFER FOR THE LADY!" followed by "THANK YOU!!" amid debris and impact lines.

Robin rejects a ride offer from an unseen speaker, replying, "NO THANKS, I'LL PASS." Chopper, in a vehicle marked with a star, shouts "GOOD!!" as another voice declares, "WE'LL HEAD TO THE BACK OF THE ISLAND AND STATION THE VEHICLES THERE, GOT ITI COMMANDER CHOPPER!" A fierce-looking figure adds, "MAY THE LUCK OF WAR SHINE DOWN UPON US!!" while responding "GOOD!!" to the plan. In a larger panel, a massive man in a fur-trimmed coat with a skull belt and crossbones stands beside a tall woman in a revealing outfit and long cape. Narration notes, "WHILE OTHERS USUALLY HOLD THEIR BREATHS IN A WAR LIKE THIS, THIS CREW IS AS LIVELY AS ALWAYS." The woman says, "THAT TANK IS VERY DUSTY AT THE MOMENT. I'LL JUST WALK INSTEAD." The large man remarks, "THOSE WHO TAKE THE SITUATION LIGHTLY CAN BECOME CRUCIAL FACTORS!" An off-panel voice exclaims, "SUCH MATURE WORDS! WHAT A RELIEF! I HOPE I CAN PROVIDE MORE VALUABLE INPUT LIKE THIS IN THE BATTLE AND ON THE CREW!!"

Kaido, in dragon form, faces Big Mom and others on a decorated platform. Dialogue flows: "BUT IT SEEMS LIKE SHE'S CHANGING RIGHT NOW, SO WE WILL SEE THAT LATER." "I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU ALL TO MEET LINLIN." "LET'S DROP THE FORMALITIES TODAY." "THAT'S NO PROBLEM. WE WILL MEET IN THE PARTY VENUE IN A SHORT WHILE." Large impact SFX "ベベんっ!!" erupt as the group reacts. On the right, a woman with pigtails and a bow shouts, "KYAA KAIDO-SAMA! IT'S BEEN A WHILE TSS!" and pleads, "CAN YOU STOP TALKING LIKE THISI" A grinning man asks, "DON'T YOU WANT TO DRINKI" In lower panels, confusion erupts: "HUHI THEN WHO DIDI" "IT WAS ME." "I WASN'T THE ONE WHO CALLED YOU ALL." "PERHAPS BUT IN FACT IT WAS ANNOYING." "HEY! STOP IT!" "YES! IT WAS ME." "DUE TO AN INCONVENIENCE I'VE KEPT YOU ALL WAITING." "THAT'S WHAT I'D PLANNED." A horned man growls, "YOU'RE THE ONE I WANT TO DRINK WITH KAIDO-SAN. DRINK WITH UNDERLINGSI NO THANKS."

A close-up shows King's stern face as he says, "KING." and addresses, "KAIDO-SAN." In a full-body reveal, the winged, masked All-Star King stands tall with a massive sword, declaring, "I AM THE ONE WHO SUMMONED YOU ALL." Nearby Beast Pirates react in shock: "KING...I IS THERE SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH USI" King continues, "IF YOU HAD KNOWN I WAS THE ONE WHO CALLED YOU, YOU GUYS WOULD'VE IGNORED IT RIGHTI" and states, "AND YOU ARE AIMING TO BECOME AN ALL-STAR." Who's-Who and Sasaki appear in smaller panels; one asks, "WHO'S WHO, SASAKII" Another replies, "I MEAN, YOU ARE A GROUP MADE UP OF EX-PIRATE CAPTAINS. PROBABLY." The page ends with the large text label "BEAST PIRATES ALL STAR KING" beside King's imposing figure.

In a crowded hall, King stands among Beast Pirates as voices call out: "HEY, LET'S CALM DOWN GUYS. IT'S A JOYOUS FEAST DAY TODAY." "YOU MUST RE-EVALUATE YOUR STRENGTH THEN!!" "IT'S NORMAL IF WE'RE EYEING THOSE SPOTS." "WE'VE MANAGED COME THIS FAR DUE TO OUR STRENGTH." Someone asks, "KING, WHY DID YOU SUMMON THEMI" King, wings spread, answers, "IT'S TRUE... TELL ME TODAY'S SCHEDULE, BAO HUANG." Bao Huang replies from off-panel about the schedule. In close-ups, King demands, "DO YOU NEED THEMI THAT FELL UPON US... I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM..." The final panels show a stage with a flaming drum and text announcing, "AND AFTER THAT WILL BE LORD KAIDO AND LORD OROCHI'S SPEECH!! THE THREE ALL-STARS AND MASTER FUKUROKUJU ARE HAVING A TOAST! QUEEN-SAMA IS HOSTING THE GOLDEN KAGURA MUSIC ON STAGE, THEN... COMING UP!!" with large SFX and excited crowd reactions.

Bao Huang stands tall on a raised platform, holding a paper and addressing the crowd with dramatic flair. "OF THE BIGGEST PIRATE ALLIANCE IN THE WORLD! ANNOUNCE THE BEGINNING BEFORE THE TWO EMPERORS... AND THEN WE WILL WAIT FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE BIG MOM PIRATE'S SHIP. A REAAAALLY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!! AND FINALLY LORD KAIDO WILL MAKE...." Nearby signs read "ANIMAL KINGDOM PIRATES HEADLINER BAO HUANG" and "FLYING SQUIRREL SMILE." In a lower panel, Kaido sits with his subordinates, growling, "YES I KNOW BUT... TO BE HIDING SOMETHING!!! AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTI THAT'S UNLIKE LORD KAIDO.. IF I WAS TO REVEAL IT NOW IT WOULD BRING CONFUSION." Kaido then roars in close-up, "MY IDIOT SON YAMATO WHO DISAPPEARED TODAY ANYWAY, YOUR TASK IS THE FOLLOWING BRING BACK..."

Kaido's subordinates react in the banquet hall. One says, "I SEE INDEED. I IMAGINED HIS IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT IS RELATED TO THE YOUNG MASTER YAMATOI" A woman with long hair replies, "HM, THAT'S QUITE A DIFFICULT TASK." Ulti appears with a fierce expression, declaring, "TO GO AGAINST AN ALL-STAR I WILL GIVE YOU ALL RIGHT OF COURSE!!! AND IF WE BRING HIM SAFE AND SOUNDI EH!!! SO WHATI THAT'S YOUR FAMILY ISSUE." Masked Beast Pirates react with "SMILE" and "NOT AT ALL" while one growls, "THAT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM RIGHTI"

Chaos erupts in the grand hall with sound effects "SCREE EAAAM!!!" and "FUNK FUNK!!" as guests panic. Luffy, in a horned hat disguise, is spotted by surprised onlookers who shout, "JAGGYI WHO'S THAT HIMI HEY! HAVE YOU NOT SEEN A JAGGYI HE KEEPS MESSING ABOUT... HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ODEN!!! JAGGY...I WHERE DID HE GO... I THINK I'VE SEEN YOU SOME WHERE." Luffy excitedly grabs food, yelling, "HEY! IT'S RED BEAN SOUP! WE DRINK SAKE HERE. GO AWAY. THIS FOOD LOOKS TASTY!"

Luffy continues eating the red bean soup as Beast Pirates yell, "SO WE'RE SENDING IT BACK. APPARENTLY WE'VE MADE TOO MUCH IDIOT! IT WOULD GO WELL WITH SAKE! THAT'S RED BEAN SOUP... BEGGARS SHOULD BE GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE! TRUE! THEY WOULD LICK IT OFF THE FLOOR AND SAY THANK YOU! GO GIVE IT TO THE PEOPLE OF OKOBORE TOWN! GAHAHAHA! THROW IT AWAY! THE SOUP IS EXCESSIVELY SWEET!" Luffy's face fills the panel with sweat drops and an intense glare as narration reads "LUFFY IS ANGRY" and a voice says, "WHAT AN AMAZING FOOD! IT'S THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!" The page ends with the note "ONE PIECE CH. 979 END" and "ONE PIECE WILL BE ON BREAK NEXT WEEK."
