Page 7: The title page for Chapter 296, "High-Altitude Situation". The cover story panel, "Ace's Great Search for Blackbeard Vol. 21", is titled "The Marine who saved both the man and the intelligence is on fire". It shows Portgas D. Ace walking away from a burning Marine ship. He is carrying an unconscious Marine officer over his shoulder and holding a briefcase marked "Top Secret" in his other hand. Flames are licking at Ace's back and the Marine's uniform. In the foreground, a shocked Marine with a large mustache and glasses watches them. Page 8: Roronoa Zoro is shown mid-swing, his swords drawn, as he shouts, "MAKE THE GIANT JACK STALK, FALL OVER WESTWARDS." Below him, a massive section of the Giant Jack beanstalk is sliced through, debris flying as the huge plant structure shifts with a loud "DOOOM!!" sound. Someone cries out "AGHH!" in the background. At the bottom of the page, Usopp, Nico Robin, Wiper, Gan Fall, and Aisa watch in shock. Usopp, sweating and wide-eyed, yells, "WE'RE COUNTING ON YOU! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO CAN CUT DOWN SUCH A RIDICULOUSLY HUGE THING!" He stammers, "I-I-IS HE... IS HE ALRIGHT!?" Page 9: High above, Enel stands on the deck of the Ark Maxim, looking down with a confident smirk. He says, "My goals here are complete. The only remaining things to do now, is watch raigou destroy the entire sky island, and then depart for Faerie vearth." The massive, dark spherical thundercloud known as Raigou looms ominously in the sky, crackling with electricity and emitting a deep rumbling sound. Enel continues, "No matter how much they thrash about or how fast they run, it's already too late... That pitiful rabble just doesn't know when to give up..." He chuckles, "Yahaha... I even feel a little reluctant to deliver the finishing blow now that the moment is almost upon me." Page 10: Back on the ground, Zoro continues his assault on the Giant Jack. He lands from a jump with a "BAM!!" and immediately launches into another attack, shouting "DAMN IT!" He slashes furiously, creating massive gashes in the thick stalk. A voice notes, "HE'S MAKING HOLES EVERYWHERE!" Zoro delivers a powerful cross-slash, the impact echoing with a loud "BAAAM!!" as huge chunks of the plant are carved out. He lands again, swords crossed, panting slightly from the exertion. Page 11: Zoro finishes his flurry of strikes, looking up at his handiwork. Usopp cheers enthusiastically, throwing his arms up, "BOOYAH! WAY TO GO! IT'S A CLEAN CUT!" The massive stalk of the Giant Jack begins to shift, a loud "DOOOM!!" resounding as the cut section slides. However, instead of falling completely, the upper section of the stalk crashes down onto the lower section, getting wedged in place with a heavy "CRASH!!" Debris rains down around them. Usopp, shocked, yells, "AGHHH! ZORO!" as Zoro is seen leaping away from the falling debris. Page 12: Nico Robin looks on in disbelief, saying, "...No, it can't be! LOOK!" Usopp is in a panic, crying out, "OH NOOOOO! B... B... But at least he cut it!" The Giant Jack is shown leaning precariously, but it remains standing, the cut sections jammed together. Usopp stammers, "WHA!? W... WHY WON'T IT FALL OVER!?" Wiper glares intensely at the leaning...
