As the entire candle figure is engulfed in flames and the wax dolls of Zoro, Nami, Vivi, and Brogy begin to melt, even Candle Champion melts. Luffy is determined to chase Mr. 3, who is trying to escape the blazing inferno.
Miss Valentine, irritated by Ussop’s plan, decides to end his life and leaps high into the air, aiming a deadly attack at Ussop’s neck. However, her attack is abruptly interrupted by the sudden appearance of Nami and Vivi emerging from the ring of fire. They attack Miss Valentine, throwing her to the ground, saving Ussop. Witnessing Nami and Vivi’s heroic arrival, Ussop is greatly relieved.
Mr. 5, realizing that their mission has been disrupted, points his pistol at Nami and Vivi, intending to kill them. He’s about to pull the trigger, but Ussop, quick on his feet, delivers a slingshot attack called “Certain Kill Gunpowder Star” at Mr. 5 but Mr 5 being immune to the gundpowder eats the gundpowder. However, it’s not a real gunpowder star, but Ussop’s special Tabasco Star. Mr. 5, who is immune to gunpowder screams in pain due to Tabasco star and gets furious at this deception and threatens to blow Ussop to smithereens with his full-body explosion.
Just as Mr. 5 is about to activate his full-body explosion, Zoro emerges from the blazing fire with his three swords and strikes with a powerful attack called “Yaki Oni Giri,” successfully slashing Mr. 5. Brogy also awakens from his deep sleep at this moment, and the Straw Hat Pirates and giants now only have to contend with two remaining foes.
Meanwhile, Luffy and Carue are still in pursuit of Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek, who are fleeing. Luffy is furious and emphasizes that ruining a duel is not something a true warrior would do. However, they come to a sudden stop as they encounter hundreds of wax clones of Mr. 3. Mr. 3 welcomes Luffy and Carue to his “Doru Doru Mansion” and challenges Luffy to find the real Mr. 3.
Not heeding Mr. 3’s taunts, Luffy stretches his leg and uses “Gomu Gomu no Stamp” to attack one of the Mr. 3 clones, which fortunately turns out to be the real one. When questioned about how he could identify the genuine Mr. 3, Luffy simply attributes it to instinct.
While all this is happening, Sanji, who has been relaxing inside Mr. 3’s hideout, hears a ringing sound from a nearby basket. Intrigued, he opens the basket and discovers a Den Den Mushi, a telephone snail. He picks up the call, and the person on the other end inquires about the mission reports. Sanji, confused, asks for the caller’s name, to which the voice on the other end reveals that he is “Mr. 0.”
