Enel's cover serial continues as "Enel's Great Space Mission Vol. 27: 'I Want to Thank You for Avenging Our Dear Doctor.'" In the cover image, Enel stands on the moonlike ground while small space beings bow before him among the wreckage of defeated space pirates. This page is not part of the Thriller Bark action, but it preserves the cover serial and sets the chapter title before the story returns to the battle against Perona, Hogback, and Oars. Page 1: A map of Thriller Bark's mast mansion shows the broken routes: Luffy, Chopper, and Robin continue toward Moria's dance hall, while Zoro, Franky, Sanji, and Usopp have been separated near the bridge and the lower routes. Robin carries Chopper forward as Luffy runs ahead, and Chopper worries, "Usopp and Sanji fell!! Do we keep going!?" Luffy answers, "Yeah!! They'll be fine!!" He is focused on Moria: "I need to find Moria before he leaves. And beat the heck out of him!!!" The group reaches the entrance to the dance hall, the place where Luffy lost his shadow, and beyond it lies the freezer where they last saw Moria. With the stairway gone behind them, the only way is forward. Page 2: Luffy agrees with a sharp "Okay!!" and the three burst into the dance hall, only to find Doctor Hogback waiting beside Cindry and a strange, duck-faced zombie. Hogback is startled: "Whoa!! You...!!! Perona didn't get you?!" Chopper immediately recognizes him and growls, "Hogback...!!!" Robin calmly identifies the enemy: "So that's Dr. Hogback...!!" The zombie stares at Chopper and asks, "What's with this reindeer?!" The confrontation becomes personal for Chopper before the fight even starts. He is no longer looking at a famous doctor he admired; he is facing the man who created the suffering corpses of Thriller Bark. Page 3: Luffy points at Hogback and asks whether he is the man who was with Moria, wondering, "Do I kick his ass too?!" Chopper stops him at once: "Hold on, Luffy!!!" Luffy protests, "Wa... wa-wa-wait!!" but Chopper has already decided. He tells Luffy, "I want you to leave him to me." Hogback tries to redirect them toward the freezer, saying, "You see that door?! That's the freezer!! Go there first!!!" Luffy accepts with a grin: "You got it!!" and runs on. Hogback orders, "Cindry-chan!! Get them!!" and Cindry answers, "Yes," raising her plates as Hogback complains, "How rude... to demand to see Moria-sama!!" Page 4: Cindry attacks with plates instead of obedience to common sense. She starts counting, "One plate!! Two plates!!" while hurling dishes with enough force to make Luffy cry, "Whoa!! Dishes!!" As the plates fly, Cindry also mutters nonsense counts like "Three plate..." and the thrown plates strike the floor and walls with sharp cracks. Robin intervenes, allowing Luffy to keep moving, and Luffy calls, "Thanks, Robin!!" Robin tells him, "Go right ahead, Luffy." Hogback is shocked by Cindry's failure and yells, "Nuu?! What's wrong, Cindry-chan?!" Then, while Luffy disappears toward the freezer, Hogback calls after him, "Wait a minute, Strawhat Luffy!!!" but the distance between them has already opened. Page 5: Chopper stands before Hogback and finally says what his disappointment has become: "I'm disappointed!! I won't regard you as a doctor!!!" Hogback laughs, "Oh... Fosfos... I didn't recognize you, Dr. Chopper. So you're a Zoan-type, I see... I thought you were just a weird creature..." He admits he does not know how Chopper escaped but says that now that Chopper is here, he will not let him go. Then he offers the ugliest possible invitation: "Or how about... You become a Mario right now...? After they kill you..." The doctor Chopper once admired is not interested in healing, only in turning more bodies into puppets. Page 6: Far from the dance hall, Luffy runs down a long corridor, breathing hard and realizing, "This road is longer than I thought!!" Behind another barrier, Oars has wandered into the same general area and looks around in confusion, asking, "What is this place?!!" Luffy stumbles into a new chamber and is startled by a hulking figure ahead. The creature greets him with a low "...Hey, there..." and Luffy shouts, "Ah, you!!!" The figure answers, "It's you..." The route to Moria is no longer clear. Between Luffy and the freezer now stands a massive zombie guard, another obstacle set inside Thriller Bark's absurd maze. Page 7: At the bridge to Perona's room, Oars's size becomes impossible to ignore. His body fills the gap beneath the bridge as onlookers shout, "Isn't that just too big?!!" and "Is he some kind of a devil? I've never seen a giant that big!!!" Usopp panics, "That is a zombie?!" Zoro recognizes the danger...
