Wake Up - Observation Able to Top The Strongest!

Sanji and Pudding move to slip onto Cacao Island, where Oven has packed thousands of siblings and crewmates. Inside the Mirro-World, Luffy's sharpened Observation Haki lets him foresee Katakuri's strikes and trade evenly with the Sweet Commander at last. With roughly an hour left before his crew's planned rendezvous, Luffy unveils a new Gear 4 variant called Snakeman.

As the two fighters press for advantage, Luffy matches Katakuri blow for blow, his foresight stronger than ever, while a long flashback recounts his Rusukaina drills. Blindfolded and forbidden to eat by Rayleigh until he dodged a hundred times, a starving Luffy turned down food the tamed animals brought him and instead asked them to help train his Haki, even calming an enraged giant lion after discovering a stick lodged painfully in its body. Rayleigh later resumed the drill, and Luffy cleared all hundred swings, sensing the final hidden strike because he felt his mentor smile. Over a shared meal, Rayleigh remarked on Luffy's rare gift for sensing the emotions of people and animals and explained that a few in the world can briefly see the future. In the present Luffy visualizes and slips past a barrage of Muso Donut fists, lands hits of his own, weathers Katakuri's Yaki Mochi, and as the two stand panting they immediately resume fighting. Sanji, meanwhile, plans his approach to the island as Oven's army swells past the thousands, including former Sweet Commander Snack, prompting Luffy to end things with Snakeman.

The adaptation expands Luffy's Rusukaina flashback to show the animals aiding his Haki training and his calming of the giant lion, plus his completion of Rayleigh's hundred-dodge challenge. It introduces Chiboust, the twenty-ninth Charlotte son, formally presents Myukuru unlike the manga, and gives Raisin a line that the crew should have killed Luffy near Sweet City before the Tea Party. The blow-trading is lengthened, and the manga's intercut scenes of the Fire Tank Pirates fleeing and the Sunny dodging Smoothie are omitted here since both already aired the prior week.
