The page features two panels. The top panel shows a close-up of Roronoa Zoro, heavily injured and bleeding from his mouth and chest. He is looking upwards with a strained expression, holding two of his swords, one in each hand, as blood splatters around him. The bottom panel is a dynamic action shot showing Dracule Mihawk from behind, his large black cape billowing. He has just struck Zoro with his massive black sword, Yoru. Zoro is seen falling backward from the impact, his arms outstretched, blood spraying from the massive wound on his chest. A speech bubble from Mihawk reads, "DON'T RUSH TO DEATH SO FAST! YOUNG ONE!" Page 1: This is a black-and-white version of a color spread serving as the title page for the chapter. The text "CHAPTER 52 'OATH'" is at the top right. The page is divided into eight rectangular panels surrounding the central "ONE PIECE" logo. The logo itself features a small drawing of a pirate in the 'O', a skull and crossbones in the 'P', and a seagull on the 'E'. The top row of panels shows Nami winking playfully and sticking her tongue out while making an 'OK' sign with her hand; Roronoa Zoro smiling confidently with his hands behind his head; Monkey D. Luffy biting into a massive piece of meat on a bone; and Usopp looking surprised while adjusting his sniper goggles. The bottom row features Gin looking serious with his bandaged head; Dracule Mihawk in profile, holding his cross pendant; Zeff glaring intensely while touching his braided mustache; and Sanji looking cool, smoking a cigarette with his hand covering his mouth.

Page 3: This page contains a single, small panel in the bottom right corner, leaving the rest of the page blank white. The panel shows a close-up of Dracule Mihawk from the chest up. He is looking downwards, his wide-brimmed feathered hat obscuring his eyes. His large black sword, Yoru, is sheathed on his back. He wears his unbuttoned patterned shirt and the cross pendant around his neck. The mood is somber and quiet following his devastating strike against Zoro. Page 4: The page opens with a large, dramatic panel of Monkey D. Luffy screaming in absolute terror and rage, his mouth wide open and eyes bulging as he yells, "ZORO! AHHHHHH!". Below this, a panel shows Sanji looking utterly shocked, his cigarette dangling from his mouth as he asks, "WHY...!?". Next to him, Usopp is in tears, screaming "BRO!" in despair. The bottom half of the page is a wide shot of the Baratie restaurant's deck. The cooks and the Krieg Pirates are all staring in stunned silence at the aftermath of the duel. One of the onlookers exclaims, "EVEN PIRATE HUNTER ZORO COULDN'T COME CLOSE!". Another person, sweating nervously, adds, "THIS IS THE POWER OF THE GRAND LINE... THE POWER OF THE WORLD...!" The sheer scale of Mihawk's strength has left everyone paralyzed with fear and awe. Page 5: Sanji is shown sweating and stressed, his thoughts racing as he watches the scene. He thinks, "THAT DAMN BASTARD'S OUT OF HIS MIND! HIS ENEMY WAS THE WORLD'S STRONGEST! THE RESULT'S OBVIOUS! IF IT'S GONNA MEAN YOUR DEATH, THEN JUST THROW YOUR DAMN AMBITION AWAY!". A flashback panel shows Zoro's determined face as he previously stated, "EVER SINCE I'VE DECIDED TO BECOME THE WORLD'S GREATEST SWORDSMAN, I THREW AWAY MY ATTACHMENT TO LIFE." Sanji, unable to comprehend this level of reckless determination, yells out loud, "IT'S SIMPLE! JUST THROW AWAY THAT AMBITION!". The bottom half of the page shows a dramatic silhouette of Zoro falling backward into the ocean with a large splash, his two remaining swords slipping from his grasp. In the background, Dracule Mihawk stands calmly on the floating wreckage of Don Krieg's ship, smoothly sheathing his massive black sword with a "TURN" sound effect.
