An All-Out Duel - Gear 4 vs. the Bisu Bisu Ability

As evening falls Reiju visits Sanji on his balcony, telling him Ichiji and Niji arrive tomorrow, but he stays cold and brooding over old memories of his brothers' cruelty. Out in the Seducing Woods, Luffy hammers Cracker with Gear 3 strikes that his endless shields shrug off. Cracker drills at him with Haki-coated blades and drives him toward a house before a giant mirror. He pins Luffy down and taunts that Sanji, born royal, will gladly choose a life of luxury and reject his old captain. The jab enrages Luffy, who pumps air into his arm to enter Gear 4, breaks free, and finally draws blood with a single Kong Gun that flattens Cracker.

Luffy presses the attack, shatters Pretzel, and seemingly destroys Cracker's whole body, but a man emerges from the wreckage and slashes Luffy's arm. He reveals himself as the true Cracker, explaining that the figure was a biscuit puppet built with the Bisu Bisu no Mi, which he hides inside because he dislikes pain, a disguise so complete that even his bounty poster shows the puppet's face. He then conjures fresh biscuits and shapes several Biscuit Soldiers, mocking how hard Luffy worked to fell just one. Meanwhile Brook and Pedro spot Cracker-like sentries patrolling Sweet City and plot to exploit one, while Nami forces the woods' homies under her Vivre Card command to attack Cracker.

Cracker's Double Roll Pretzel, Hard Biscuit, and Crush Biscuit all debut here. Chopper and Carrot, weighed down by chained ankle balls in the Mirro-World, edge toward a mirror to peer through. The anime adds Reiju's evening talk with Sanji, the homies laughing at Luffy after Cracker's taunt, Luffy visibly inflating his arm for Gear 4, the Sweet City sentry sequence with a Biscuit Soldier's face shown, Chopper and Carrot examining the mirror, and Nami taking command of the homies. The Luffy and Cracker duel is further extended with extra Gear 3 attacks and a move absent from the manga.
