Breaking the tip of the Great War Spear, Luffy smiles as he realizes that only the stick with the bomb remains, reducing the weapon’s deadliness by half. Zeff observes Luffy’s willpower and explains that he has an unwavering conviction and no fear of death. Don charges at Luffy with the modified spear, but Luffy quickly climbs up the mast to evade the attack. Resourceful as ever, he breaks off a piece of log from the mast and hurls it at Don, but Don easily turns it into ashes using his flame thrower.
Sanji is astonished by the sheer number of weapons at Don’s disposal. Not one to be deterred, Luffy follows up with his signature move, the Gomu Gomu no Gatling. With lightning-fast punches, he unleashes a barrage of attacks on Don, but the steel armor proves to be impenetrable, rendering the punches ineffective.
Don seizes the opportunity and leaps high into the air, intending to blast the platform and sink Luffy into the sea. He scatters the bomb for a potentially devastating explosion. However, Luffy swiftly lunges to the top of the mast and readies his next move, the Gomu Gomu no Bazooka. With tremendous force, he stretches both hands like a slingshot and directs the attack at the armor. The first bazooka only cracks the armor, leaving Don seemingly unscathed. Undeterred, Luffy prepares for another Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, this time putting even more power behind it. The attack connects, shattering Don’s armor, and he screams in agony as the impact takes its toll. The battle rages on as Luffy continues to defy the odds with his unwavering determination and strength.
