Zoro carves into the stone officer Pica with a single overwhelming strike and renews his vow to stand above every blade alive. Far below, the dwarf uprising at the SMILE plant finally pries the sealed exit open as Franky decoys Senor Pink.
Spent from the duel, Pica draws mockery for chasing the captain's head, then jabs his weapon forward, only for the swordsman to run a cut down the length of the limb. A replacement stone arm goes up, and the officer surfaces from behind with Pulpo Stone, yet Zoro slides clear and notices Robin's party drifting above. Asked to pin the giant down while the fliers ascend toward the captain, the swordsman agrees right as Pica fuses back into the towering form and levels a fist at them.
Against the colossal stone arm, Zoro unleashes Santoryu: 1080 Pound Cannon, opening the first real wound on Pica. He tells the reeling foe that the crew's gravest dangers are not limited to the famous "Straw Hat Luffy" and "God Usopp," since he counts himself among them and means to reign one day as the finest swordsman alive, a declaration that reduces Bartolomeo to tears. Inside the SMILE plant, Chao repays the grunt who once whipped him, Maujii searches in vain for the supposedly sick princess, and Franky feeds Senor Pink a lie about a stranded old woman before bursting in to throw the door wide, outpacing the manager Kyuin and her dwarf-snatching vacuum.
