The Straw Hats are shown in a bright city street scene around a huge green reptile, with Luffy hanging upside down near its jaws, Sanji riding above with a pan and cigarette, Chopper floating cheerfully with weapons strapped to his back, Usopp shouting from behind, and Robin standing calmly with a sword at her side. The page is decorative rather than part of the immediate Thriller Bark action, but it establishes the chapter title and keeps the crew-centered mood before the story returns to Oars. Page 2: In the ruined chamber, Gecko Moria stands before the gigantic corpse of Oars and declares, "LET'S BEGIN...!!" The enormous body dwarfs even the assembled monsters around it, and the watching zombies can only stare upward. Someone reacts, "...!!" while others study the corpse's impossible scale. Nami whispers in horror, "What's that... that g-giant... corpse!?" and Usopp stammers that "He is huge, even for a giant!" Chopper struggles not to cry out, muttering, "... Ugh... ugh...!!" as Nami warns him, "Don't make a sound, Chopper!! Hold it in!!" The ritual begins under terrible pressure: the Straw Hats understand that Luffy's shadow is about to be forced into something far beyond an ordinary zombie. Page 3: Moria seizes Luffy's shadow and commands it like a living prisoner. "Be still, Strawhat Luffy's shadow!!" he snarls, stretching and beating the dark silhouette into shape. To the shadow itself he announces, "I'm your new master!!" Luffy's shadow stands silent, then Moria lays down the terms of enslavement: "You will live as a zombie from now on. I'll give you a voice and flesh. Forget everyone you knew in the past. Abide my will and become my soldier!!" Usopp watches in terror as the shadow twitches, and Moria grins with triumph. "Kishishishi. Contract complete." The page turns the shadow-theft into a binding ceremony, making clear that Oars is not simply being revived; Luffy's very personality is being chained into him. Page 4: While Moria prepares the awakening, the zombies whisper among themselves. One suggests, "We should have bound Cindry-chan with the 'past erasure' contract, too..." and another adds, "...If we had done that, I could eat meals on plates." Cindry answers coldly, "I can break your kneecaps*, too," with the note that she literally means knee plates. Someone admits, "Scary!! Cindry-chan, that threat just now was super scary!!!" and another explains, "Cindry is too harsh on Hogback." The mood snaps back to the ritual as Usopp gasps, "The shadow...!!" Moria roars, "...Now, awaken...!!! From your 500-year sleep...!!!" Luffy's shadow is flung into the waiting giant corpse, and the chamber seems to recoil from the impact. Page 5: The shadow slides across the corpse's face and sinks into Oars. A heavy "SHUDR!" runs through the chained body as Moria stands before the giant and laughs, "Kishishishi." Nami, Usopp, and Chopper can only stare from their hiding place, whispering, "Huh... Luffy's shadow..." The black shape no longer belongs to Luffy's body; it has entered the dead giant completely. The chains, the vast stitched torso, and the small figures gathered beneath Oars make the ritual feel like the activation of a living weapon. Nothing loud happens yet, but the silence is worse: the corpse has accepted the shadow, and everyone present waits for the first sign that the ancient monster has truly returned. Page 6: The watchers confirm the impossible: "It entered...!!" Oars lies still for a breath, then his massive body begins to stir under the chains. The sound effects around him build like grinding stone and tightening metal: "PAK! PAK!" and heavy rumbling marks the movement of limbs that have not moved in five hundred years. Usopp freezes, sweat running down his face, as the corpse shifts enough to make the whole room feel unsafe. Outside, bats scatter around the tower with cries of "KII! KII!" The page holds on the awful scale of the awakening: an ancient giant, already enormous when dead, is beginning to rise with Luffy's stolen shadow inside him. Page 7: Oars' fingers twitch first, then his face shifts, and Usopp nearly screams. Nami clamps down on the panic with a desperate command: "You can't!! Don't scream!!!" The watching zombies and officers hold their breath as the giant's expression changes from dead slackness to awareness. One zombie forces out a muffled "SHHHHHHHH..." while the little bat creatures squeal, "QIII QIII." Cindry, Hogback, and Moria all watch in silence, their faces fixed on the awakening body. The page is mostly breath, tension, and tiny sounds: the story asks everyone to stay quiet because the newly revived Oars is still between death and ful...
