The cover is a character whereabouts shot: "Wiper & Shandia, restoration of the forest." In the quiet aftermath far from Enies Lobby, Wiper and the Shandia work among trees and cut timber, restoring the forest on the sky island. It is useful cover-story material, but it does not advance the battle on the Bridge of Hesitation. Page 1: The ruins of Enies Lobby keep burning while the duel continues in the shattered first bridge prop. Stone blocks fall, smoke rolls through the broken buildings, and both fighters are reduced to raw breath. Luffy stares forward through steam and blood, panting "HAA... HAA..." Rob Lucci answers with the same exhausted stillness, a low "FUUUU" coming from him as he gathers himself again. Around them, the Buster Call continues to tear the island apart, but neither of them looks away from the other. Page 2: Lucci's blood drips onto the stone, and Luffy stands across the wreckage in the haze of Gear Second. From far away, the voices of his friends reach the battlefield: "LUFFY... HURRY UP AND COME BACK!!" The call carries over the water, the bridge, and the smoke. Below it, the two enemies remain separated by the ruined floor, both still breathing hard: "HAA..." Luffy's steam rises with a sharp "SHUUU...!!!" He is close enough to return to them, but Lucci is still standing in his way. Page 3: On the escape ship, Nami looks toward the bridge and calls the plan as clearly as she can: "WE CAN SET OUT AS SOON AS LUFFY COMES BACK!!" Across the deck, the others are ready too. "WE'RE READY TO SAIL OUT ANY TIME NOW!!" The answer is tense but firm: "YEAH." Sanji falls silent with "..." as the surrounding fleet becomes impossible to ignore. If they think only about the numbers, the number of warships around them is equal to the number of people they have there. Even if they do sail out, the conclusion is grim: "IT WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF HERE...." Page 4: A Marine report comes from the northeast side of the main gate: the Marines and Government officials in Enies Lobby have been accommodated, and approximately fifty pirates, including some giants, are at the main gate. One giant recognizes them with relief and pride: "THAT'S ZAMBAI AND THE OTHERS!! SEE!! THEY GOT OFF THE ISLAND ALL RIGHT." Another laughs that he is not worried about them: "THEY WILL NEVER DIE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU KILL THEM. BASTARDS!! GAHAHAHA." But the official report is colder. On the main island itself, any survivors are considered impossible; by means of fire, death is confirmed for all of them. The voice from the fleet declares, "WE HAVE COMPLETED THE OBLITERATION MISSION," and someone adds, "THE OTHER DAY, TOO...!!" Page 5: The warships stare at the burning main island and give the number that matters most: "THE NUMBER OF SURVIVORS ON THE ENIES LOBBY MAIN ISLAND IS" answered by "ZERO." The courthouse, the Tower of Justice on the southeast side, and the underground passage leading to the bridge have all been demolished. From warship number 2, soldiers report from among the armed Marines as the guns keep smoking. The Buster Call has turned the island into a map entry with no living people left inside it, and the fleet is already shifting its attention to the only remaining target. Page 6: The order identifies the final target: "THE ONLY TARGET LEFT IS" followed by "THE BRIDGE OF HESITATION." The words hit the escape ship with horror. Franky sees the smoke and thinks of the allies still caught in the larger battlefield: "OIMO... KAASHI!!" Paulie realizes the shipwrights of Galley-La are involved too, and the Straw Hats name everyone they fear for: "YOKOZUNA WAS PROBABLY WITH THEM, TOO..." "SODOM AND GOMORRAH...!!" "EVERY-ONE...!!!" Franky stands silent for a beat, then the reality becomes an order to keep moving. "IF YOU DON'T KEEP MOVING, THEY WON'T GET WHAT THEY DESERVE!!" Page 7: Robin finally names the cruelty of what she has survived before. Looking at the destruction, she asks, "...!! CAN PEOPLE... DIE SO EASILY?" and answers herself with the truth of the Buster Call: "YOU CANNOT SEE HUMANS... ON THE MAP." The fleet has simply erased an island from the world map, "WITHOUT HESITATION. THAT'S WHAT THE BUSTER CALL IS!!!" Around her, the others turn the grief into a call for Luffy. "HURRY UP, STRAWHAT~~~!!!" someone shouts toward the bridge. Franky bellows, "BRO, WE'VE COME TO SAVE YOU. COME BACK WITH US!!" Another voice warns him with desperate affection: "BASTARD, I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU IF YOU END UP DEAD!!!" and "YOUR NAKAMA ARE WAITING FOR YOU HERE!!!" Page 8: Back in the ruined bridge prop, Luffy launches himself at Lucci again. St...
