At the bottom the author credit reads "EIICHIRO ODA".

MAMA!!" while another voice says "THANK YOU, BIG BRO ~♡" Nami is asked "NAMI!! ARE YOU OKAY!I" and replies "WELL, THAT'S A FIRST!!" Elsewhere Robin tells someone "NICO ROBIN, HELP ME PLEASE" and the reply comes "WE'RE IN FOR A TREAT." A samurai shouts "ALRIGHT, JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO."

A figure leaps shouting "YO!!" and uses "SMOKE SCREEN JUTSU!!" while another yells "HEY WAIT!! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM ME!!!I" Big Mom towers over the battlefield, snarling "THOSE DAMN STRAW HATS!! THEY JUST KEEP ON COMING... ONE AFTER THE OTHER..." as allies cry "GYAAH!! BIG MOM IS GONNA KICK UP A STORM!!" In another area a samurai says "LET'S GO DEAL WITH THEM!! EVEN IF WE CAN'T WIN WE'LL KICK THEM DOWN AT LEAST" while Denjiro's warning is recalled: "DENJIRO TOLD ME ABOUT THE TOBI ROPPO" and fighters decide "FIGHTING THESE GUYS WON'T GET US ANYWHERE, AM I RIGHT..." and "WE'RE GONNA GET DRAGGED INTO IT!! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!" One adds "YEAH, FIGHTING THESE DRUNKARDS IS JUST A WASTE OF TIME!!"
03
Franky crashes in his motorcycle shouting "MY NAME IS FRANKY!! I'M A CYBORG!!" and "YOU'RE AMAZINGLY STRONG!!" while Brook calls "YOHoho WHAT A SHARP EYE!!" and "LONG TIME NO SEE SOUL KING!!" A voice notes "YOUR CREW REALLY HAS SOME RARE CREATURES!!"

Massive horned beasts rampage through the area as the Numbers charge forward with wild laughter. One roars “GOKIKI KIKI!!” while another brandishes a club and yells “JAKI KIKI!!!” A third snarls “JIKI KIKI!!” Onlookers panic: “THEY’RE DRUNK!!!” “IT’S THE NUMBERS!!!” “IT’S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN!!” The enormous title “NUMBERS ナンバーズ” dominates the lower half of the page. In smaller panels below, shocked fighters react: “HOLDING SOMETHING IN HIS HAND…!!!” “OI… ISN’T THAT GUY…” “THAT KAIDO GOT FROM ‘PUNK HAZARD’!!” “SO THAT’S THEM…” “THE ‘FAILED ANCIENT GIANTS’” “HE’S FROM THE SAME RACE AS OARS!!” “THAT REMINDS ME OF THRILLER BARK!!” “HEY!!

BEHIND YOU!!” and “INSTEAD OF ME ~!!I” A voice questions “HEY ‘IRON MAN’ DO YOU REALLY THINK IT WAS WISE TO SHOOT HIM…” while another cries “UWAAAH IT’S A LASER BEAM!I” Jinbe counters with “FISHMAN KARATE” sending an enemy flying. The large woman spins wildly, declaring “WHIRLING TIDES THROW!!!” with sound effects “FWOOSH” “FWOOSH” as the text “MILLE FLEURS” appears beside a composed woman with dark hair and a flower in her hair.
07
Big Mom is hurled through the air in a massive spiral, screaming “AAA AAAH!!!” while clutching at the spinning force. Jinbe stands firm and growls “IT’S FINE WITH ME, DO YOUR WORST” as Big Mom rages “HOW DARE YOU ABANDON MY CREW!I YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS WITH YOUR LIFE!!” and “JINBE!!!I YOU BASTARD”. Below, the battlefield erupts with “WAAAH BIG MOM!!!” “NOOO ANYTHING BUT THAT!!” as a powerful technique named “DELPHINIUM!!!” explodes near a torii gate, sending shockwaves and debris flying while Robin watches calmly with crossed arms.

Jinbe stands with a fierce grin as he declares, "HOWEVER, SHE WILL RETURN ANGRIER THAN EVER." Nearby, a smiling figure asks, "HOW WAS THATI" and another laughs, "UHAHA COULDN'T ASK FOR BETTER!!"

THANK YOU" while a small voice answers, "NO PROBLEM." A ringing Den Den Mushi echoes *RING* *RING* as Usopp panics, "WE'RE GONNA FUSE" and cries, "USSOP!! FRANKY IS CALLING!! USSOP GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!!" Franky yells, "ARE YOU GUYS DOING ALRIGHT" and Chopper shouts, "GENERAL CHOPPER!!" while someone urges, "C'MON ANSWER ME."
09
Luffy stretches upward with his arm, muttering "GOMU GOMU NO..." as he asks, "IS THAT THE SKYI" A voice exclaims, "EHHH!I STRAW HAT!!" while another states, "ALRIGHT, I CAN REACH IT FROM HERE." In the ruined hall, Zoro swings from chains as someone calls, "ZORO!!" A large striped figure yells, "HUH... ISN'T THAT LUFFY!" and demands, "WHERE ARE YOU GOINGI" Below, frantic shouts ring out: "NOOO WAIT WAIT!!" "I'LL TAG ALONE THEN!!" and Luffy answers, "TO WHERE KAIDO IS!!"
10
Luffy rockets upward through debris yelling, "ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO!! ROCKET!!" A voice wonders, "IS KAIDO REALLY UP THEREI" while narration notes, "KIN'EMON AND THE OTHERS WENT UP THERE TO FIGHT KAIDO." Below, massive dragon-like creatures clash; one roars "GYA!" as Luffy clings to it and shouts, "AS IF I'M GONNA LET YOU DO AS YOU PLEASE!!" Another figure yells, "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!" amid the impact sound *バクン*.
11
A massive winged dragon-like beast soars through the sky amid winged creatures and falling debris. Luffy is flung wildly as he screams, "WAA AAH!!!" A voice calls, "FLING!!" while another declares, "WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH THEM AROUND!!" Luffy stares upward with wide eyes, exclaiming, "SO EVEN THE SKY IS SO HEAVILY GUARDED!!" The dragon head snaps forward with impact effects and motion lines filling the chaotic aerial battle.
12
In the heat of battle, frustrated operators shout, "WE'RE MAD BECAUSE WE CAN'T OPERATE IT!! BUT IT'S STILL SOOOO COOL!!!" as mechanical suits activate. "'BLACK RHINO' STANDBY!!" and "'BRACHIO HEAD' TRANSFORM!!" echo while the armored machines shift forms amid impact sounds. Explosions rock the area as someone yells, "NUMBER 4 HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT!!!" A close-up shows a scarred face complaining, "THE DURABILITY OF THIS STINKING SUIT REALLY MESSES ME OFF." Momo wonders, "MOMO...... DID HE ESCAPE...I" In a large panel, a crowned warrior with a fierce grin declares, "DESPITE ALL THIS... FOR SOME REASON I DON'T FEEL LIKE WE'RE LOSING!!" Nearby, allies report, "AND WE'RE SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES!! STRAW HAT -MAN IS GOING DOWN TOO!! GENERAL CHOPPER WHO SERVED AS A DECOY FOR US HAS COME FALLING FROM THE SKY!!"

The Straw Hat crew arrives dramatically amid flying Devil Fruit users and chaos. A massive figure questions, "ARE ALL OF THOSE FLYING DEVIL FRUIT USERSI" while others exclaim, "SHIT!! THINGS AREN'T VERY EASY AFTER ALL!! IT'S THE STRAW HAT CREW!!!" and "WE JUST NEED TO GET UP THERE!!" Luffy sits confidently and says, "ALRIGHT, THAT SOUNDS GOOD!!!" The reunion is marked by "ENFIN RÉUNIS!!" and heavy impact effects. In smaller panels, a voice calls, "WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS!!!" as a figure falls with "WAAA AAAH!!!"
