Clash! Demon-Slasher Zoro vs. Ship-Slasher T Bone!

Ashamed at having been lured into a trap, T Bone sprints along the rails to catch Puffing Tom and not fail his men. Ahead, the still-stunned group eyes the bisected Sea King as Zoro readies for combat. When T Bone halts at the sight of Rocketman, Zambai identifies him as the Marine known for cleaving ships in two. Luffy waves off any worry, trusting Zoro to manage. Recognizing Zoro and proclaiming himself a proud Navy captain, T Bone charges with Chokkaku Hicho: Bone Odori, but Zoro blocks it effortlessly and sends him hurtling into the sea. Both swordsmen voice respect for the other's skill before Zoro returns to nap on the train.

In car four, Wanze hurls knives in a Hocho Nage only for Sanji to dodge and kick him repeatedly, especially after Wanze sneers that Robin is better off dead. Sanji rains a Parage Shot that rearranges Wanze's face, then lists his three offenses: calling himself a chef, disrespecting food, and insulting a friend. When Wanze readies the poisonous Men-Kiri Doku Bocho, Sanji finishes him with a powerful Santen Decoupage that restores his face and flings him through two cars into CP9's compartment. On the roof, Franky pins and defeats Nero with his Ultimate Hammer. Both victors then square up against Lucci and the rest of CP9.

This episode earned the season's top rating in its rankings and debuts T Bone's Bone Odori, Zoro's Gyuki: Yuzume, additional Ramen Kenpo and Black Leg techniques, and Franky's Ultimate Hammer. The story is part of the Water 7 Arc.
