No description for this page.

A few hours earlier, York speaks with a worried expression, "THE WORLD GOVERNMENT ISN'T JUST AFTER THE STELLA... THEY'RE APPARENTLY LOOKING TO ELIMINATE ME TOO. THIS IS A BIT OF A PICKLE..." A small bubble notes "YORK'S PLANI". In front of the massive Frontier Dome at Egghead, York continues, "LUCKILY, I HAD A CONTINGENCY PLAN, JUST IN CASE THEY DECIDED TO PLAY IT THIS WAY. YOU CAN KILL EVERYONE NOW THAT THE FRONTIER DOME IS UP AGAIN. FOR STARTERS, I WANT YOU TO WIPE OUT ALL THE PESTS AROUND HERE! SPARE NO ONE EXCEPT FOR THE STELLA, THE HOSTAGES UNDERGROUND, AND ME." The group responds in unison, "UNDERSTOOD!" The listeners include a figure in a spotted hat, a blonde woman, a large fanged man, and a stern white-haired man.

York adds, "IF MY COVER GETS BLOWN, I WON'T STAND A CHANCE IN A FIGHT. SO TO ENSURE THEY DON'T CATCH ME... WHEN YOU GUYS GO ROGUE, I'M SURE IT'LL TRIGGER A 'WHO DUNNIT' STYLE INVESTIGATION." She points while speaking to the Seraphim. Close-ups show her continuing, "THERE'S AN AREA OF THE LAB THAT I DON'T WANT YOU TO DAMAGE, IT'S... AND ONE MORE THING..." S-Snake replies, "BE SURE TO FREE ME WHEN NO-ONE'S LOOKING!" and "GOT IT." York orders, "S-SNAKE, I WANT YOU TO GET ME IN FRONT OF EVERYONE." The Seraphim acknowledge, "UNDERSTOOD." In the lab, York dramatically declares, "LET THE HUNT BEGIN!!" as a small flying figure darts through the air. A white-haired woman looks on and says, "OKAY THEN..."

The massive Red Force ship hovers above the crumbling island structure as urgent shouts ring out. "HURRY! EVERYONE ONTO THE SHIPS!" A massive explosion rocks the tower labeled "VEGAPUNK" with the sound effect "CRUMBLE" and debris flying. Below, panicked figures scramble up gangplanks while the structure collapses. "WE'RE GETTING THE HECK OUT OF HERE!!" someone yells amid the chaos. A close-up shows a stern-faced man in a tall hat labeled "PX-01" sweating heavily as another figure reacts with shock. The Red Force flag with its skull emblem waves on the left. The ship begins to pull away over turbulent seas as the island fragments, with the number "180" visible on its hull and large impact sounds "ゴゴゴ..." echoing across the waves.

Aboard the Red Force, a fierce-looking man with a straw hat and pipe demands answers: "HAVE YOU COME FOR OUR BELOVED CHIEFI WHY ARE THE KID PIRATES SPLASHING ABOUT HEREI" A boxed caption reads "WAR-LAND ELBAF, NEW WORLD". Three flamboyant pirate captains confront each other in the next panels. The princess of the Bourgeoisie Pirates, "PANICKY PURURU", shouts "YOU ICK! I PLEB! I HATE YOUR GUTS! WOW! YOU'RE SO BOLD, PRINCESS!" Grave Tooth Fugar, head of the Social Club Pirates, roars "FUGAR MOGO-- HE SPEAKS THE TOO--IH!" while his dentures fly out with a "POF!". Padded-Toe Gerotini, captain of the Puddle Pirates, declares "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE HIM, SO JUST HOP OFF! I WON'T RIBBIT MYSELF AGAIN!" Below, the pirate fleet clashes violently on the waves as one crew member yells "WHAT THE HELL!I ARE THESE JOKERS REALLY WITH RED HAIR!I" while another reassures "DON'T WORRY, I NEVER PULL MY PUNCHES! THEY'VE GOT SOME BIG NAMES WITH THEM. DON'T LOWER YOUR GUARD."

The Red-Haired Pirates' chief stands firm as his crew reacts. "I APPRECIATE THE SENTIMENT, BUT... I WANT ALL SHIPS TO FALL BACK. WE WON'T LET THEM LAY A FINGER ON YOU!" one crewmate insists. Another shouts "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, CHIEF!I TELL THEM TO RETREAT!" In the lower panels the crew debates the sudden arrival of a powerful figure. "...AND THIS BIG SHOT SHOWED UP, SO NOW I'VE GOTTA DEAL WITH HIM. GET THOSE SHIPS TO MOVE AND OPEN A PATH," the chief says. A wild-haired man growls "I WAS JUST STOPPING BY, BUT I LOST TRACK OF TIME..." while others react: "WE ONLY JUST MET UP! YOU'RE ALREADY HEADING OFF, CHIEF!I" The crew expresses loyalty: "A BUNCH OF US WOULDN'T HAVE LIVED THIS LONG IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOUR FLAG'S PROTECTION! THE ONLY ENEMY YOU NEED TO WORRY ABOUT IS FATHER TIME, GRANNY ORI." The chief laughs heartily as the crew cheers around him.

Crew members discuss the recent arrival. "HE LOOKS LIVELY ENOUGH, AND HE SEEMS UP FOR A FIGHT. STILL, HAS HE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO HEAL SINCE HE WAS ON WANOI HIS HEAD'S WORTH THREE BILLION, AFTER ALL. YOU SHOULDN'T UNDERESTIMATE THE GROWTH OF THESE YOUNGSTERS. DON'T SWEAT IT, CHIEF. WE CAN HANDLE THIS." One replies "GUESS IT'S FINE THEN..." Inside the ship, another crewmate asks "ANY NEWS ON BLACKBEARDI" A seated man answers "...NOPE. LAST WE HEARD HE LEFT PIRATE ISLAND. I WAS SURE HE WAS GOING TO SHOW HIS FACE TO WANO... WE'VE GOT SOME INFO ON CAPTAIN KID THOUGH." On the deck a spiky-haired man with goggles exclaims "NINE! AND THERE'S PLENTY OF FACES I RECOGNIZE FROM THE BOUNTY POSTERS ON THEM. HOW MANY SHIPS ARE THERE NOWI" A wounded man with a scar mutters "SO HE'S FROM THE SOUTH BLUE... HE SURE DID A LOT OF RAMPAGING TO MAKE IT THIS FAR."

A massive mechanical cannon labeled 017 and 005 roars across the sea as a scarred, furious man with a captain's hat snarls from behind it. "I'LL BLAST THEM DOWN TO THE OCEAN FLOOR IN TEN SECONDS FLAT!" he declares while smaller panels show shocked allies reacting. "...WHO WERE UP AGAINST!" "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN..." "EAT THIS!! DAMNED PUNK!!" the gunner yells as the weapon fires. Nearby, a long-haired fighter grimaces, "SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE SEEN A HELL OF A FUTURE. HE'S ABOUT TO DO SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE!" Another crew member shouts "AS EXPECTED!!" as the blast erupts with a "GYAAA!!" In the distance, two giant warriors Dorry and Broggy are called to action: "DORRY, BROGGY... GET IN POSITION!" "IT'S ABOUT TIME!" Panic spreads among the ships as someone cries "THIS IS BAD! WHAT'S GOING ON, CHIEFI!" "GET ALL THE SHIPS TO MOVE ASIDE NOW!" A piercing "SCREECH!!" fills the air while onlookers gasp, "SOME SORT OF MASSIVE CANNONI! WOAH! WHAT THE HELL IS THATI! IS IT ME... OR ARE WE GETTING PULLED INI!" One figure stares in recognition, "RED HAIR...!!" as the sea churns violently around the vessels.

The colossal cannon erupts in a blinding explosion of debris, smoke, and shattered metal as multiple figures are hurled through the air. A cloaked swordsman with a massive blade is caught in the blast, weapons and limbs flailing wildly amid impact lines and "!!!" effects. On the right side, a long-haired fighter with a scar across his face glares intensely and shouts "DIVINE DEPARTURE!!" while gripping his sword. Close-up panels show a helmeted warrior's eyes widening in shock with "!!" and a sweat-drenched, fanged face snarling with "ガクン" sound effects. The entire scene conveys overwhelming force as the cannon is destroyed and bodies are scattered.

A deafening "KAPOOM!!" and Japanese SFX "ゴワッ" shake the battlefield as a massive explosion engulfs ships and throws debris everywhere. A giant skeletal figure is hurled backward with a "GYAAA!!" A female crew member screams "CAPTAIN!!" while a helmeted giant lies injured amid smoke and impact marks. In the lower panels, a dark silhouette walks away with "TAP TAP" and "KACHINK" sounds as several figures tumble helplessly through the air, one crying "UWAAAA AAAA!!" amid motion lines and scattered weapons.

Chaos reigns as crew members panic around their fallen captain: "THE CAPTAIN'S NOT MOVING! IS HE GOING TO DIEI!" "EVEN KILLER GOT CAUGHT IN IT! HE WAS TRYING TO HELP!" "UNGH..." A stern, long-haired man looks on gravely. An injured giant pleads while clutching stone tablets, "HERE! TAKE THEM! DON'T KILL OUR CAPTAIN! OUR LODE PONEGLYPHS!" Other pirates beg, "PLEASE HAVE MERCY!! RED HAIR, WE SUR-RENDER!" In the background, a dark figure raises a hand and calls "HEY, CHIEF, OVER HERE!" as distant silhouettes react with "HUUHI!" and a star-shaped impact "FWISH!!" One voice warns, "WAIT! SOMETHING'S HAPPENING ON THE ISLAND!"

On this day, in the new world at Elbaf, the Kid Pirate crew led by Eustass 'Captain' Kid suffers a decisive victory turned disaster. Massive waves crash as their ship is torn apart. A man worth three billion... was completely eradicated. The towering figure of a Red Hair Pirates member looms with a massive club, laughing "GA BA BA BA BA!!" He warns the little people, "YOU'D BETTER BE READY FOR WHEN THEY FIRE BACK!" and "IF YOU'RE GONNA POINT A CANNON AT SOMEONE'S HOME..." Another crewmate cackles "GE GYA GYA GYA!" The devastating Hakoku Sovereignty!! technique erupts in a colossal swirling vortex of water and force, smashing the Kid Pirates' vessel. Screams echo as the crew is wiped out: "UGXAAA AAAH!!" A close-up shows a long-haired figure's shocked reaction with "ドン!!" and the narration concludes the eradication.

A massive mechanical construct erupts in a storm of red lightning and sparks as a cloaked red-haired figure strikes with a sword. The attack is unleashed with the cry "DIVINE DEPARTURE!!" The red-haired warrior's intense glare fills the panel, sweat flying as he declares the technique. Below, a helmeted crewmate with a golden emblem reacts with shock, eyes wide and teeth gritted. A small background figure with curly hair and goggles recoils in terror, mouth agape amid crackling energy. The impact sends debris and light bursting outward in a dramatic clash.
