Sanji’s resilience astonishes Pearl as he stands up despite taking a severe beating. Determined to save the restaurant, even if it costs him his life, Sanji faces Pearl’s relentless assault. The powerful punches thrown by Pearl send Sanji reeling, and he struggles to maintain his balance, falling to the ground. Despite being battered, Sanji refuses to back down.
Pearl’s ferocious attack sets the extended platform ablaze, putting the entire ship at risk. The raging fire threatens to engulf everything. Witnessing this perilous situation, Luffy’s anger flares, and he employs his “Gomu Gomu no Axe” technique, raising his leg high in the air and bringing it down with tremendous force. The powerful kick severs the extended platform from the ship, Luffy’s plan to thwart the Don Krieg pirates by saving Sanji and destroying their ship.
Sanji is agitated by Luffy’s plan and argues against it. Amidst the heated argument, Pearl sees an opportunity to attack both of them simultaneously. However, Gin intervenes and throws his gun, delivering a single strike that defeats Pearl. Gin wields a T-shaped baton with iron balls on both ends, revealing himself as the fleet battle commander of Don Krieg’s pirates.
Don Krieg breaks the silence and discloses Gin’s role as the fleet battle commander. Gin, with determination in his eyes, decides to personally deal with his savior, Sanji.
