Episode 273 of One Piece turns Luffy's new Gear 2 loose on Blueno. As the crew storms the courthouse and the Franky Family holds the door, Luffy's blistering speed overwhelms the CP9 agent and ends the duel.
Summary
The Three-Headed Judge Baskerville reports to Spandam that the pirates have pushed inside the courthouse, then declares the building a place of sacred judgement and opens a trial. The Straw Hats ignore it entirely. Zambai and the Franky Family urge Zoro and Nami toward the roof where Luffy already fights, promising to keep the Marines off their backs alongside Yokozuna. When a soldier aims at Zoro, he clears a path to the stairs with Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri.
Key Events
Comic chaos breaks out as Sanji shoves past to lead Nami himself, picking a fight with Zoro mid-rush, while Zoro predictably wanders the wrong direction despite Chopper's directions. When Baskerville leaps up to attack, the Franky Family yanks him back down to handle him themselves. On the roof, Luffy unleashes Gear 2 and tears into Blueno with a flurry of Jet attacks, Jet Pistol, Jet Rifle, Jet Stamp, Jet Spear, and Jet Missile, moving so fast he seems to vanish. Blueno realizes Luffy has mastered Soru and retreats through his Doa Doa no Mi door, but a full-power Jet Bazooka caves in his chest. Luffy drops out of Gear 2, and a moment later Blueno collapses, ending the fight.
Notes
This Enies Lobby Arc episode extends the Luffy versus Blueno bout beyond its manga length. Exhausted, Luffy admits his body still cannot fully withstand Gear 2, yet presses on toward Robin as Spandam calls every CP9 member together.
