Gin gives up his own breathing mask to spare Luffy from Krieg's lethal gas, suffering the poison himself. The duel that follows pushes Luffy against Krieg's deadliest weapon, the explosive Daisenso spear.
Stripped of any defense against the MH5 poison cloud, Luffy faces certain death until Gin intervenes. The Krieg subordinate presses his own mask onto Luffy, breathing in the toxin to keep the boy alive. The gas takes hold almost instantly, leaving Gin wracked with internal bleeding as the Baratie cooks scramble to tend to him.

Luffy answers by hammering the spearhead five consecutive times, swallowing the blast with each hit, until the weapon's tip finally shatters. Watching from the sidelines, Zeff quietly respects the boy's fearless resolve.
