Summary

On the Going Merry, Gan Fall walks Sanji, Nami, and Usopp through Sky Warfare. He has Sanji strike an Impact Dial with a heavy hammer to no effect, then directs him to press the shell's tip, which unleashes a blast. Gan Fall covers how other dials serve in combat and, asked about Mantra, calls it hard to put into words yet manages to sketch its basics, describing how keenly the priests and Enel can hear.

At his shrine, Enel tallies the survival game at eighty-one participants. He asks an adviser to guess how many will remain in three hours, and the man warns him not to underestimate the fighters. Enel sets his own figure at five.

Key Events

The Shandia warriors enter the Upper Yard forest and become ensnared in Shura's Ordeal of String. As Shura explains how they were caught, he senses Wyper and the two engage. When Shura attacks, Wyper casts aside his weapon and shield to absorb the blow, luring the priest close before downing him with the Reject Dial, a defeat Enel attributes to Shura's contempt for Sky Weapons. Yama mobilizes the Divine Soldiers. Luffy, pushing through the forest, swats aside a Divine Soldier and then meets Wyper, who resolves to remove him for refusing to leave, and the two square off.
