The cover story continues as "The Name of Miss Goldenweek's Strategy: 'Meet Baroque' Volume 12: 'Let's disguise ourselves for now.'" Miss Goldenweek's group appears in public wearing disguises, trying to move through town without drawing attention after the Baroque Works prison-break rumors. Page 1: Luffy charges through the smoke and chaos with Robin on his back, yelling "Kaeru!!!" A note explains that kaeru means both frog and return, and that he wanted to return Robin. The others stare in disbelief. Someone cries, "What!? We've come so far!!" while another protests, "Why do we have to turn back now!? Straw Hat!!!" The answer appears ahead on the rails: Yokozuna, the giant frog, has leapt onto the tracks again. Rocketman's shark-faced engine rushes straight toward him, and the crew yells, "That frog appeared out of nowhere!!!" The rescue has succeeded for one breath, but the train has no room to stop. Page 2: Rocketman bears down on Yokozuna. Someone shouts, "What a huge frog!!" and another recognizes him: "Yokozuna!!!" Luffy is stunned, "That guy!?" while the train crew screams, "Get out of the way, froggy~~~~!!!" Kokoro can only watch as the engine keeps roaring forward. Yokozuna answers with "Gero gero~~~!!!" and refuses to move. The people aboard cry, "Look out--!!" and "We're gonna hit you--!!" Meanwhile, the Puffing Tom is still ahead, racing toward Enies Lobby. The collision with Yokozuna interrupts the escape at the exact moment Robin's rescuers seemed to have pulled her free. Page 3: The impact and smoke swallow the train, and the brief victory curdles into uncertainty. Someone shouts, "We did it!! We got Robin back--!!!" but another voice doubts it immediately: "It just wouldn't be the same if we didn't use stuff like this smoke screen..." Sanji and Franky are still inside the car with Robin, but even they feel that something is off. One says, "They're not like those small fries," while another admits, "Yeah, even with the car completely separated, this feels wrong." The goal was accomplished too easily, and the rescuers understand that CP9 is not the kind of enemy that lets a prisoner simply vanish. Page 4: The separated car suddenly reveals the trap. Strange doors and openings appear around the car, and someone cries, "What the!?" The whips that had pulled the escape apart are still moving. Franky reacts, "Thorn whips!!?" and Sanji realizes CP9 has already reached them. Kalifa stands with the thorned whips and says, "I've got them." Franky yells, "Cut the whips!!!" while another warns, "You think I'll let ya come over here!?" Kalifa answers by calling, "Blueno!" and Blueno replies, "Right." The escape route has become a battlefield again, with CP9 using both whips and Blueno's strange door ability to close the distance. Page 5: The cars crash back together with a violent jolt. Everyone screams, "Waaaaaaa!!" while the broken gap between cars slams shut and the rescuers are dragged back toward CP9. Franky realizes what happened: "We've been pulled back to them!!!" Sanji sees Blueno step from the impossible opening and mutters, "Such power..." Someone notes bitterly, "That smoke screen was a pretty lame idea." The trick that bought them an instant has been erased. Blueno's door power and Kalifa's whips have returned Robin, Sanji, Franky, and Sogeking to the very car they tried to escape from. Page 6: Robin sees the danger and quietly accepts the return. She says, "So, it was useless after all." Sanji protests, "Sogeking!!! Guard Robin with your life!!!" Sogeking answers nervously, "O... okay!!!" But Lucci's side of the car is already calm. The agents remind everyone of their order: "Don't kill the Straw Hat pirates. We made a promise." Blueno uses "Tekkai" and says, "Sorry you went through all the trouble of pulling these together, but... it's time to push them apart again!!" CP9 is not simply trying to stop the rescue; they are controlling exactly how far the Straw Hats are allowed to interfere. Page 7: Sanji attacks Blueno head-on, landing a hard kick and asking, "What's with this toughness?" Blueno braces himself, and someone says, "That's their weird fighting style I told you about!!" Sanji keeps moving anyway and strikes with "Concasse!!!" A note explains that concasse is the process of peeling, seeding, and chopping tomatoes. The kick crashes into Blueno with enough force to make him acknowledge the blow, but Blueno's Tekkai still lets him stand. The fight shows Sanji's power clearly: even CP9's iron body can be shaken, but not easily broken. Page 8: Sanji's kick nearly breaks through Blueno's defense. A CP9 agent reacts, "That was an incredibly powerful kick...!! It nearly broke through his Tek...
