Enel's Great Space Mission continues with Vol. 25, "Space Pirates at Their Wits' End." In the cover image, Enel stands amid wreckage and defeated space pirates, his weapon ready as bodies and debris fly around him. This page is not part of the immediate Thriller Bark storyline, but it continues the cover serial and establishes the chapter title, which will become central once Brook's promise to Laboon is explained. Page 1: On the Thousand Sunny, Luffy wakes into fury and immediately punches Franky in the face, shouting, "That bastard! Making my shadow..." Franky tries to stop him: "Calm down! Moria isn't here!" Sanji and Zoro sit in stunned silence, still recovering from the theft of their shadows. The ship and the docked Thriller Bark entrance come into view, and someone recognizes the place: "Huh? This place is... It's the Sunny." Another asks, "Sunny!? How did we end up back here...?" The three strongest fighters are awake again, but the first thing they understand is not safety; it is that their bodies have been returned to the ship while their shadows remain in enemy hands. Page 2: Zoro rises and feels the wrongness immediately. "No... it wasn't a dream. My shadow is gone...!!! This is an eerie feeling..." Luffy, meanwhile, cannot focus on the shadow problem while his stomach is empty. Robin explains that because they only had large quantities of food on the ship, the zombies took everything else and left only preserved food behind. Luffy storms in, yelling, "Hey! It's terrible!!! This is more important!!! There's nothing to eat here!!! Cheese and crackers aren't enough to fill me up!!! I want meeeeeat!!!" Sanji worries for a different reason: "By the way, I don't see Nami anywhere...?" Zoro mutters, "Man, how dishonorable... I've let my guard down...!!" and Luffy mourns, "We lost our pirate lunchboxes, too~~... With only cheese... we just can't..." Page 3: Sanji explodes when he hears Nami was taken. "Kid-na-p-ped!!? Why the hell didn't you chase the kidnapper to the ends of the earth!!? Who in the world did it!? I'll get her back immediately!!!" Usopp, crushed under Sanji's fury, apologizes: "I'm sorry!!! But the circumstances made it like that, not me...!!! Anyway, please listen to the whole story!!" Usopp then forces the crew to sort priorities: "Okay, listen! There are two important things we can't afford not to get back." The group names them aloud: "Nami!" and "Food!" before Usopp adds the third, "Our 'shadows' too, right? That makes it three." Robin starts to point out that one of those is not a priority, but Usopp insists that Nami and their shadows are the main issue. Outside, something heavy shakes the Sunny and the dock, drawing everyone's alarmed "Wha... What the!?" Page 4: The shaking turns out to be Oars rampaging across Thriller Bark, and Sanji mishears the danger through his obsession. "Marriage~~~~!? Are you shitting me~~!? Shit! I'll never permit it! He must have some balls to marry Nami, and..." Luffy, hearing about the giant body that ate and shouted like him, asks whether they can make a zombie like that because he is a behemoth. Zoro stays practical: "In that case, we know the identities of Luffy and the cook, right?" Chopper confesses that the Shichibukai frightened him, and Luffy asks what the zombie looked like. Chopper says the enemy gave off a familiar aura and had the same equipment as Zoro. Luffy realizes it was not him, while Zoro asks the key question: if they throw salt into the mouths of those three zombies, they will regain their shadows, right? For now, the plan becomes simple enough to move. Page 5: The crew praises the discovery of the zombies' weakness, and Luffy suddenly brightens when he hears another name. "What!? You met Brook!?" Usopp explains that it was the skeleton who told them about the weakness, then came to get them first. Franky describes how, when he asked Brook a rather rude question and tried to make him a comrade, Brook rejected it by denying the completeness of his own existence. Even so, after speaking with him, Franky was convinced: "He's a real man!!!" Franky begins walking away while the others call after him to answer the question. The page turns Brook from a strange skeleton into someone with weight and dignity; whatever his secret is, it was enough to earn Franky's respect immediately. Page 6: Franky challenges the way Brook has been living. He asks whether Brook knows how people react when he appears with that appearance, calling him "A talking skeleton...? Becoming friends... with such a disgusting being?" and warning that anyone who goes in front of people like that will be stained w...
