Zoro, with his injuries still present, confronts Hachi, sprinting towards him with the intention of ending the fight quickly. Hachi tries to obstruct Zoro’s attack by spraying octopus ink, but Zoro skillfully evades it and jumps, slicing Hachi’s hair narrowly missing his neck. Hachi, trying to buy more time, climbs up a pillar to wait for Zoro to make a mistake. However, Zoro, despite his injuries, quickly stands up on his knee and throws Hachi, causing the walls to collapse on him. Zoro falls to the ground, exhausted from the effort.
Meanwhile, Kurubi charges at Sanji with his extended and hard shell elbow, but Sanji smoothly evades the attack. In retaliation, Sanji delivers a series of kicks, which are skillfully blocked by Kurubi’s hard shell elbow. However, Sanji gets distracted by Zoro’s condition, giving Kurubi the opportunity to land a powerful 40-level karate punch on him, sending Sanji flying beyond the Arlong main gate.
As this unfolds, Genzou and Nejiko decide to dive underwater to save Luffy and free him from the boulder that is holding him down.
Hachi, agitated by his failed attack, stands up again, wielding six swords, ready to challenge the three-style sword user, Zoro. Barely able to stand, Zoro asks for Jhonny and Yosaku’s swords to demonstrate the Octopus Three Sword Style. Sanji also regains consciousness and boasts that Kurubi’s punch was nothing compared to old geezer powerful kicks.
