Summary

The opening skirmishes between the crew and CP9 keep building. Kumadori carries on his kabuki display until Nami, deciding theatrics put her at a disadvantage, simply asks for his key, only for him to misplace it. In the bathhouse, Sanji insists Kalifa's tea water is too cool and offers his skills as a chef. Luffy, meanwhile, finally reaches CP9's old position and finds it empty, still puzzling over the route to the Gates of Justice.

In the library, Zoro presses Kaku, convinced the agent holds Robin's key. Kaku, who names himself CP9's finest swordsman, surprises Zoro by using Rankyaku leg-slashes to wield a Four Sword Style. Their exchanges trade evenly until Kaku decides to reveal his Devil Fruit and begins to transform. Over in the garden room, Sogeking's careful approach toward the sleeping Jabra falls apart through a series of mishaps, and Jabra wakes, transforms into a wolfman via the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Wolf, and threatens to tear out his throat.

The ceiling caves in, dropping Zoro and a full-grown giraffe into the room: Kaku, having botched his beastman shift, became a complete giraffe before settling into a lanky giraffeman form courtesy of the Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Giraffe. Mocked by all present, an irritated Kaku spins and fires a sweeping neck-slash called Amanedachi, an attack that cleaves the Tower of Justice in two and leaves its upper half sliding off-kilter against the sky.
