The chapter title "Chapter 293 'Bolero'" is displayed at the top right. Text reads "You know the Pirate" and "Ain't leaving no slack." Nico Robin and Nami stand holding basketballs. Usopp is in the back, cheering enthusiastically with pink pom-poms and wearing a feathered headdress. Sanji crouches to tie his shoe. Luffy stands confidently in the foreground, holding a basketball against his hip, wearing a black tank top with a skull and crossbones logo and red shorts. Zoro sits on a bench in the background with his arms crossed. Chopper sits on the bench next to Zoro, drinking from a glass. Page 2: A flashback begins, showing a peaceful Shandian village with teepees and totem poles. The Chief, wearing a wolf pelt on his head, narrates to a young Wyper. The Chief says, "The great warrior Kalgara, Continued on shouting..." He quotes Kalgara: "'LIGHT THE FLAME OF SHANDORA.'" The Chief explains, "For he believed the bell's ring would surely reach Noland's ears and tell him..." A silhouette of Kalgara is shown shouting, "'We are here...'" The Chief concludes, "He would be satisfied if he could even ring it once," Page 3: Inside a tent, the Chief continues his story to young Wyper. He says, "HOWEVER, THE BELL WAS NOT RUNG. NOT EVEN ONCE..." A flashback panel shows Mont Blanc Noland being executed on a scaffold in front of a crowd. The Chief explains, "Much later, sailors from North Blue who visited these sky islands, Told us the other half of the story. Our saviour Noland, Died back on the Blue Seas while proudly claiming the glory of Shandora." Another panel shows sailors on a ship. The Chief adds, "The more the people called him 'liar,' The more steadfast he became in his refusal to deny Shandora's existence, Until the very moment of his death..." Young Wyper listens intently, looking shocked. Page 4: The Chief continues, "Meanwhile, Kalgara, too, Had died a most glorious death on the battlefield during his struggle to tell his friend that we were still here." A panel shows Kalgara looking fierce and determined. The Chief says, "But it was a fruitless struggle, because his feelings were never able to reach his one true friend... That was... The great warrior Kalgara's greatest regret...!" Young Wyper, with tears in his eyes, asks, "Chief, Tell me..." He then shouts passionately, "COULD THE BELL, STILL DELIVER ITS MESSAGE? IF WE COULD RING THE BELL, WOULD THE MESSAGE STILL REACH NOLAND!?" Page 5: The Chief looks surprised by Wyper's outburst, then smiles gently with tears forming in his eyes. He replies, "Perhaps... AFTER ALL, HEAVEN IS NOT FAR FROM UP HERE..." The scene transitions back to the present day. Adult Wyper is shown heavily injured, his face covered in blood and dirt, looking up in shock. The little girl Aisa is standing near him, desperately yelling his name over the rumbling sounds. "WIPER. WIPER! WIPER! WIPER!" she cries out. She warns him, "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE IF WE DON'T RUN AWAY! WIPER!" Page 6: Massive, dark, swirling clouds fill the sky above, crackling with intense lightning. Enel's flying ship, the Maxim, is partially visible within the storm clouds. On the ground, Wyper looks up in anger and disbelief, saying, "ENEL... WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT... TO STEAL EVERYTHING...!?" The rumbling of the storm is deafening. Nearby, a voice panics, shouting, "Oh crap! He's not holding back at all! We gotta run away!" Another voice cries out, "THIS IS THE END OF EVERY-THING!" Zoro, Nico Robin, and Gan Fall are also seen standing amidst the ruins, looking up at the impending destruction. Page 7: Aboard the Maxim, Enel looks down with a sinister grin. He muses, "Hmm... Is the hidden village of those pesky Shandora warriors there...?" He then declares loudly, "YOU ARE ALL AN EYESORE! HUMANS, TREES, AND EVEN THE EARTH! YOU SHOULD ALL RETURN TO WHENCE YOU BELONG!" He laughs maniacally, "YAHAHAHA! THIS IS THE SKY, GOD'S TERRITORY!" He continues to taunt the people below, "You are originally people of the Blue Seas... You should be glad that you will now be returning there! YAHAHAHA! I AM GOD!" He raises his staff, commanding the storm, "BECOME RAIN THAT FALLS DOWN TO THE BLUE SEAS! FALL BACK DOWN!" Massive bolts of lightning begin to strike down from the ship towards the sea clouds below. Page 8: Devastating lightning bolts strike the hidden Shandian village, causing massive explosions. The giant statues and teepees are blown apart by the sheer force of the attacks. Shandians are seen fleeing in panic. One shouts, "AGHHH! OUR VILLAGE! NOOOO!" As they escape on small boats, another remarks, "That was close... If we'd stayed any longer, we'd all be burnt b...
