A dramatic splash shows Enel from behind, gripping a massive staff, cloak billowing amid explosive smoke and impact lines. A black speech bubble with a skull symbol and exclamation mark appears near him. Below the panel, text states: ENEL'S GREAT SPACE MISSION VOL. 5: "ATTACK FIRST, THINK LATER."EnelPage 1Marines on a fortress react in panic. One shouts, "STAY ALERT AT ALL COSTS!" Another replies, "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN!!" A subordinate answers, "YES, SIR!!" A Marine HQ sign is visible as someone yells, "RED HAIR AND WHITEBEARD ARE ABOUT TO MAKE CONTACT!!" and "THE FLEET HAS BEEN DEFEATED!!" Two large ships sail toward each other on the sea with repeated "ゴゴゴゴ..." sound effects. On a massive ship with a horned figurehead, a crew member calls out, "CAPTAIN, WE'LL GO WELCOME RED HAIR!!" as the vessel surges forward amid motion lines and "ドドドオオ...!!" effects.MarinesPage 2Whitebeard Pirates' flags wave as a voice announces, "RED HAIR IS COMING." Marco stands in the foreground with a serious expression, hand on his weapon. Behind him towers the massive Jozu, who warns, "STAY BACK, YOUNGSTERS. YOU WON'T SURVIVE THIS." Labels identify "Whitebeard Pirates First Division Captain Marco" and "Whitebeard Pirates Third Division Captain Jozu." Debris and impact lines scatter across the scene.MarcoJozuPage 3Marco steps forward with a sandal-clad foot. Nearby pirates react with confusion: "EH...I WE WON'T SURVIVE THIS...I WHAT DO YOU MEAN...I" and "DON'T ASK QUESTIONS AND JUST STAY BACK." Marco states, "AH... IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE." Several crew members collapse with "THUD" and "THUD!" sounds as one cries, "EH!I HEY, GUYS, WHAT'S WRONGI" Jozu glares intensely and shouts, "STAY CONSCIOUS IN FRONT OF THAT MAN...!!!" A pirate shivers, "BIRRR BIRRR...!!" Marco looks ahead calmly, saying, "WITHOUT ANY DETERMINATION, THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN..." and "DON'T PANIC. THEY JUST LOST CONSCIOUSNESS..."MarcoJozuWhitebeard Pirates crewPage 4A vast hall lies in ruins after a devastating clash. Dozens of pirates and crew members lie sprawled across the floor, knocked out by an overwhelming force. In the center stands a towering cloaked figure. Speech bubbles ring out: "AS ALWAYS." and "AMAZING HAKI...". Multiple "THUD" and "SQUEAK SQUEAK" sounds echo as bodies slump. Smaller panels show scattered crew members groaning with "SUTA" and "SQUEAK" effects while the cloaked man walks forward, his sandals visible.Whitebearddefeated piratesPage 5Whitebeard glares with a scarred face, declaring, "THE WOUND I GOT FROM THAT GUY ACHES WHENEVER I LOOK AT YOUR FACE." Shanks, the red-haired man, replies with a calm smile, "SINCE THIS IS AN ENEMY'S SHIP... I KINDA MADE A BIT OF A THREAT. EXCUSE ME." Whitebeard sits with arms crossed, retorting, "IS THAT REALLY SOMETHING THAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF A MAN WHOSE HAKI IS IN ITS FULL FORCEI BASTARD... GURA-RARA-RARA...!!!" Shanks stands before him and states, "I BROUGHT THE HEALING WATER. I HAVE NO INTENTION TO FIGHT. I'M HERE TO DISCUSS SOMETHING WITH YOU."WhitebeardShanksPage 6Whitebeard tells his men, "YEAH... THERE'S NO WAR AS HE SAYS... LEAVE US ALONE FOR NOW." Shanks calls out, "OH! YOU'RE MARCO FROM THE FIRST DIVISION, RIGHTI DO YOU WANT TO JOIN MY CREWI HEY, RED HAIR, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO US!!" Marco snaps, "SHUT UP!!" Whitebeard drinks from a massive gourd and remarks, "I'VE TRAVELED THROUGH THE SEAS OF THE WORLD... BUT NOTHING IS SUPERIOR TO THE BOOZE MADE WITH THE WATER FROM MY PLACE. IT'S THE BOOZE FROM MY HOMETOWN. DRINK UP!! THE QUALITY ISN'T VERY GOOD, IS ITI BOOZE FROM WEST BLUE, HUH...I"WhitebeardShanksMarcoPage 7Whitebeard drinks deeply with a satisfied "GULP" and mutters, "YEAH... NOT BAD..." He continues, "IT'S BEEN 22 YEARS... IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING...!...ROGER... GARP... SENGOKU... THERE AREN'T VERY MANY PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THE SEA BACK THEN." Shanks responds seriously, "ON GOL D. ROGER'S SHIP...!!! BEFORE, YOU WERE JUST A PUNY APPRENTICE. YOU'VE CLIMBED PRETTY FAR UP THE LADDER, TOO..."WhitebeardShanksPage 8Shanks sits with a serious expression as he recalls the past. "... YOU MEAN BUGGY!I" "IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES..." Whitebeard and his associates discuss old times aboard the ship. "DID THAT FUNNY RED NOSE WHO WAS WITH YOU DIE YETI" "BECAUSE WE USED TO FIGHT A LOT WITH ROGER'S SHIP." "IT'S STRANGE HOW WE MET WHILE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER..." Shanks leans forward intensely. "I'LL NEVER BE PART OF YOUR CREW, IDIOT!!!" "COME WITH ME, BUGGY!!" A close-up shows Shanks remembering the execution. "THE DAY CAPTAIN WAS EXECUTED, WE PARTED WAYS, AND THAT'S THE END OF IT." Rumors spread among the crew. "RUMORS HAS IT THAT HE'S STILL A PIRATE." Whitebeard continues, "WHEN YOU CAME BACK FROM EAST BLUE WITH ONE OF YOUR ARMS CUT OFF, EVERYONE WAS SURPRISED. IS STILL NEWS TO MY EARS... EVEN THE DUEL BETWEEN YOU AND HAWKEYE MANY CONSIDER THEM AS LEGENDS. THOSE 22 YEARS PASSED BY SO FAST..."ShanksWhitebeardunidentified crew member with hatPage 9Luffy appears in a dramatic close-up, shouting with determination. "AND I'LL BECOME THE PIRATE KING!!!" "ONE DAY, I'LL GATHER UP NAKAMA AND FORM A CREW THAT'S BETTER THAN YOURS!!" Shanks reacts with surprise. "THISI..." "DID YOU GIVE IT TO...I" "WHAT KIND OF ENEMY" Shanks smiles faintly while holding his side. "... I BET IT" "ON THE 'NEW AGE'..." "AS LONG AS YOU DON'T REGRET IT..." Whitebeard's eye widens in shock as he clutches his chest. "IS THIS ONE...!!!" "THROB THROB..." "BUT WHAT ACHES NOW" "WHITEBEARD... I'VE GONE THROUGH MANY BATTLES AND SUFFERED VARIOUS WOUNDS,"Monkey D. LuffyShanksWhitebeardPage 10Whitebeard lounges on his massive throne-like chair aboard the Moby Dick. "YOUR MAN, BLACKBEARD TEACH, WAS THE ONE WHO INFLICTED THIS WOUND...!!!" "THIS... ISN'T A WOUND FROM AN ADVENTURE. NOR DID I GET IT FROM HAWKEYE..." Shanks confronts him directly. "ALL THIS TIME, HE'S BEEN HIDING IN THE SHADOW OF THE FAMOUS WHITEBEARD!!!" "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY HERE, WHITEBEARD!I" "HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR A CHANCE... HE DIDN'T TAKE THE POSITION OF A CAPTAIN OR MADE HIMSELF KNOWN." "AND IT'S NOT LIKE IT WAS CARELESS OR ANYTHING." Whitebeard stands and grabs a crewmate by the throat. "WITH HIS OWN WILL!! HE'LL EVENTUALLY TAKE OVER YOUR POSITION, TOO. AND NOW HE'S GAINED POWER... AND STARTED TO TAKE ACTION. IN THE END, HE'LL BE AIMING FOR THE TOP"WhitebeardShanksBlackbeardPage 11On the deck of the Moby Dick overlooking the sea, Whitebeard asks calmly, "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DOI THAT'S WHAT YOU CAME HERE FOR, RIGHTI" Shanks appears in a tense close-up, his scar visible and expression fierce. "STOP ACE!!!" "PLEASE," "!I" Whitebeard looms over the scene. "... BUT THAT FAME AND TRUST COMPLICATE THINGS. IT'S NOT YET TIME FOR THEM TO FACE EACH OTHER!!!" "DESPITE HIS YOUTH, HE'S TRUSTED TO CAPTAIN THE SECOND DIVISION OF YOUR CREW. ACE IS STRONG...!!! I KNOW THAT VERY WELL."WhitebeardShanksPortgas D. AcePage 12Whitebeard bursts into booming laughter, "GURARARARARARA!!" A voice mutters "...FUFU..." Shanks leans in with a fierce glare and commands, "LEAVE BLACKBEARD TEACH ALONE!! THAT'S THE ONLY WISH I HAVE." Whitebeard retorts, "A SNIVELING KID LIKE YOU DARES TO SAY SUCH THINGS. I TREAT ANY IDIOT I LET ON MY SHIP LIKE MY OWN SON. NOW, WHERE WOULD THE SOUL OF MY MURDERED SON GO...!I" He continues, "HIS CRIME... IS SOMETHING THAT'S HIGHLY FORBIDDEN ON A PIRATE SHIP. HE KILLED A NAKAMA...!! THUS VIOLATING THE ULTIMATE LAW." In a massive close-up, Whitebeard's eyes blaze as he declares, "IT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY TO GIVE THAT STUPID TEACH A LESSON ABOUT THAT...!!! YOU CAN'T LIVE IN THIS WORLD WITHOUT HUMANITY AND JUSTICE."WhitebeardShanksPage 13Whitebeard sits on his throne-like chair aboard the Moby Dick and growls at Shanks, "YOU ARE 100 YEARS TOO EARLY TO ORDER ME AROUND. DO YOU UNDERSTAND, FOOLI" Tension spikes with sharp sound effects. Whitebeard rises, his massive frame towering as he smashes his naginata down. He roars, "I HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR!!! I AM WHITEBEARD!!! THEN NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO STOP THIS ERA OF RECKLESSNESS!!!"WhitebeardShanksPage 14Elsewhere, Blackbeard's crew reacts to distant events. One crewmate says, "NAH, BOSS SAID HE AIN'T GONNA DO THAT..." Another asks, "IS IT A WAR!I IT STARTED....!!" A third notes, "BUT SOME KIND OF DEAL MUST'VE BEEN BROKEN. JUST WAIT 'N SEE. HE'S NOT STUPID ENOUGH TO BE SO RECKLESS!! THAT RED HAIR BASTARD, WHAT HAS HE DONE TO POP...!I" The sky suddenly splits with a thunderous "ドォォン!!!" as massive clouds tear apart. Someone yells, "NO...!!! THE HEAVENS SPLIT!!! THE CLOUDS...!!!" A massive ship rocks violently on churning seas amid the unnatural phenomenon.Marshall D. TeachBlackbeard Pirates crewPage 15On an island along the Grand Line, a sign reads "An island on Grand Line." A man reads a newspaper and exclaims, "IT'S AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE STRAWHATS....!! HEY, LOOK!!" Another figure with glasses remarks, "HRMM. THEY TOOK OUT THE JUDICIAL ISLAND. I BET THEIR BOUNTIES WILL JUMP UP!!! ZEHAHAHAHA!! THEY'VE DONE AN OUTRAGEOUS THING!!!" A group discusses the situation: "PITY... THAT THEY'RE WITHIN OUR RANGE. HOW UNLUCKY THEY ARE... COUGH. ARCH." One laughs wildly, "WHEEE HAHAHA, LET'S GO, CAP'N!! IT'S NOT FAR FROM HERE. MUST'VE BEEN SOME KIND OF FATE. IS FAMOUS FOR THE SEA TRAIN COMING FROM WATER 7, ISN'T ITI ENIES LOBBY."Newspaper reader with glassesLaughing crew memberTop-hatted manLong-haired manPage 16Blackbeard's crew scrambles aboard the ruined ship as the captain laughs wildly. "ZEHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Blackbeard bellows. "PREPARE TO SET SAIL!!!" someone shouts from the deck. "OF COURSE WE'RE GOING," another crewman answers. Blackbeard turns with a fierce grin, sake bottle in hand. In the foreground, a tall figure with a straw-hat jolly roger tattooed across his bare back confronts him. "I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU....!!!" the tattooed man declares. Blackbeard freezes, a massive "!!I" reaction bubble bursting above his head. From the side, a bearded crewman calls out, "HEY." Another voice adds, "WAIT UP, TEACH." Blackbeard glances over his shoulder with a low "HRMMI" as the tense standoff holds.Marshall D. TeachShanksBlackbeard Pirates crewmemberPage 17ExtraSBS Question Corner page. Header reads "質問コーナー" with "E S B I E S" logo. Reader questions and Oda's answers are printed: R: If Kokoro is a mermaid, why is her granddaughter, Chimney, a normal humanI Is the mermaid thing not passed down geneticallyI -Puchi Panda. O: Long ago, when Kokoro was a young mermaid, she left the Mermaid Island because she longed for Tom. She married a human man in Water Seven, and she gave birth to a half mermaid half human son, who then married a human woman, and their child is Chimney. Chimney is 1/4 mermaid, so she's extremely good at swimming. In volume 42, chapter 403, she survived the whirlpool and was able to save Luffy because she's part mermaid. R: In chapter 422, "Rob Lucci," it's said that he killed the 500 hostages and then the pirate captain. But why did he have to kill the hostages in the first placeI -Wiper!! So cool. O: You said it. It's a terrible story. You'd think it would be enough just to beat the enemies. For the sake of brevity, I didn't elaborate then, but Lucci is a man who believes that being weak is a sin. In other words, the soldiers had put their country in danger by being captured so easily by the pirates, so he had to prevent anything like that happening again. Lucci came to the conclusion that weak soldiers like that didn't have the right to live, and so he did what he did. He's such a fearsome man that the hair on the back of my neck is standing up. Luffy, good job defeating him!! Small manga panels illustrate Chimney, Kokoro, and a chaotic scene with Lucci. Page number 88 appears at bottom right.Page 18No description for this page.
