Tragedy! The Truth Hidden Under Duval's Mask

As the aerial riders sweep across the Thousand Sunny, Luffy snatches one and tosses its driver to commandeer it for a joyride, while Sanji boots aside the opening volley of grenades. The clash nearly halts the instant the fish dive to regroup, since none can hold the air beyond five minutes, plunging Luffy underwater and leaving him to drown. Chopper and Brook spring in after him and drown just the same, forcing Franky and Nami to drag all three back to the deck. Freed from his cage by Zoro's blade, Hatchan throws himself into the fight and scatters his captors with a flurry of Takoyaki Punches.

Duval orders the reckless Zero Fight and pledges to cover his men's medical bills, sending one into a kamikaze run. Brook unsheathes the sword in his cane and performs a Lullaby Song that lulls several riders, plus Luffy and Chopper, into sleep, then races across the surface on his featherweight frame to cut down more fish. A still-drained Zoro, not yet recovered from his encounter with Kuma at Thriller Bark, presses on beside Hatchan. The spears the enemy carry are coated in scorpion venom that proves fatal within three minutes. Luffy finally boots away Duval's helmet and uncovers the secret beneath.

Duval's features are an exact match for the wildly inaccurate sketch on Sanji's wanted poster, which has drawn Marines and bounty hunters down on him in the cook's stead, a revelation that sends Sanji into a fury. The bison Motobaro debuts alongside fresh techniques, among them the riders' Zero Fight, Brook's Nemuriuta Flanc, and Chopper's Kokutei Diamond. The episode adapts chapters 493 and 494.
