Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Brook, and other Thriller Bark imagery appear around a haunted island theme, previewing the next arc rather than continuing the chapter story. Page 1: Monochrome version of the Volume 46 cover, again labeled around the Ghost Island adventure. It is volume packaging material, not part of the Banaro Island duel. Page 2: Volume title page: "JUMP COMICS VOLUME 46 'ADVENTURE AT GHOST ISLAND.'" Luffy is drawn in pirate costume, holding a sword before the One Piece logo. Page 3: Volume recap and character guide page titled "THE STORY OF ONE PIECE." It summarizes the general premise of the Great Pirate Era and shows current Straw Hat crew reference panels: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, and Franky. Page 4: Volume 46 contents page, headed "ONE PIECE vol.46 'ADVENTURE AT GHOST ISLAND.'" It lists chapters 441 through 449, beginning with "Chapter 441: Duel on Banaro Island" and continuing into the Thriller Bark arc. Page 5: Chapter title page for Chapter 441, "DUEL ON BANARO ISLAND." Enel's Great Space Mission Vol. 11 is captioned "MERCILESS SPACE PIRATE." The cover story shows the space pirate continuing to dominate the lunar battlefield while Spacey lies defeated. Page 6: The duel resumes on ruined Banaro Island. Teach stands wrapped in black smoke and confirms Ace's realization: "THAT'S RIGHT, COMMANDER ACE... 'DARK-NESS'." Ace watches in silence as Teach declares, "YOU CAN'T KILL ME..." and explains the power before him: "THEY SAY THIS ABILITY IS THE MOST POWERFUL OF ALL OF THE 'DEVIL'S FRUITS'..." The smoke coils from Teach's body like something alive, making the destroyed town feel even more hollow and dangerous. Page 7: Teach names the power properly: "LOGIA 'YAMI YAMI NO MI.'" He laughs that he has become something different from other men: "I'VE BECOME A 'MAN OF DARKNESS'!!" Ace answers with a dry "... WHATEVER," while Teach promises, "AND I'LL SHOW YOU ITS POWERS VERY SOON..." The Blackbeard Pirates and townspeople panic as the darkness keeps pouring out. They shout, "SHIT... THOSE PIRATES ARE STILL IN THE TOWN...!!" "THEY'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING!!" "HE KEEPS EMITTING THAT BLACK SMOKE!!" and "DON'T GET ANY CLOSER!! JUST RUN!!" Burgess warns everyone, "QUICK!! EVACUATE!! THE CAPTAIN'S GONNA GO WILD!!" Page 8: Teach spreads the darkness over the town. He grins with "GUGU... NFU FI..." and then laughs, "ZEAAAH!!!" as a black mass blooms through the street like a pit opening in the earth. Ace watches from a distance, silent and wary. The darkness does not merely cover the ground; it runs between buildings and pulls at the town itself, making the street crack and bend toward the black center. Page 9: The people flee through the forest and toward the coast, warning one another, "UWAHH!! SOMETHING'S SPREADING ON THE GROUND!!" "THAT'S THE STUFF THAT GUY WAS EMITTING FROM HIS BODY...!!" "THAT'S SCARY!! IT'S SO BLACK, IT'S JUST LIKE A HOLE IN THE GROUND." "I FEEL LIKE I'M BEING SUCKED IN. CREEPY." "DON'T TOUCH IT!! JUST RUN!!" "GO THROUGH THE FOREST AND RUN TO THE COAST!!" Teach explains the nature of his darkness: "MY 'DARKNESS' IS 'GRAVITATION'!!" and "IT'S A FORCE THAT SUCKS EVERYTHING IN!!! NOT EVEN LIGHT CAN ESCAPE." He says he will not attack Ace yet: "IT'S INFINITE 'GRAVITATION.' IT'S NOT... COMING TOWARDS ME. I WON'T ATTACK YOU JUST YET...!! JUST STAY THERE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE TOWN...!!" Page 10: Teach calls the technique "BLACK HOLE"!!! The gravity of "darkness" draws in every object with infinite force and crushes it. Whole buildings tip, splinter, and sink into the blackness while onlookers shout, "WHY!? WHAT'S GOING ON!?" and "BEING SUCKED INTO THE GROUND!" Others stare at the spreading destruction and ask, "... ARE WE DREAMING...?" The town disappears into the dark, leaving Teach to announce, "NOW, I'LL SHOW YOU THE MISSING TOWN... IN ITS RUINED FORM...!!" Page 11: Teach releases everything the darkness swallowed with "LIBERATION"!!! A mountain of shattered houses, beams, roofs, and debris erupts back into the air and crashes down over Banaro Island. People below scream, "THE TOWN HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED..." Teach laughs at Ace, "ZEHAHA-HAHA! SEE THAT, ACE!!? THIS IS THE ABILITY I'VE OBTAINED!!!" The ruined town becomes proof that his darkness can swallow matter and then vomit it back out in devastation. Page 12: Ace answers with fire rather than fear. He scatters glowing embers with "HOTARU-BI," meaning firefly light, and then detonates them around Teach with "HI-DARUMA"!!! Flames burst over Teach's body and he screams, "GWAA AAH!!!" and "HOT!!! HOT...
