Summary

Only Mr. 8, Mr. 9, and Miss Wednesday still stand between Zoro and freedom, all three furious that their forces failed to subdue him. Bound by duty to guard the town, Mr. 8 raises his saxophone and fires bullets from it, which Zoro evades. Mr. 9 springs onto a rooftop while Miss Wednesday climbs aboard her duck Karoo to chase him at speed. The bird, however, keeps misreading her commands. Mr. 9 flips down to strike from behind with a pair of metal bats, taunting Zoro about chipping his swords, only to lose his nerve when Zoro simply draws and levels a blade at him. Rattled, Mr. 9 flails wildly, attempts another backflip to show off, and instead tumbles off the roof to the ground below.

Key Events

Miss Wednesday next confronts Zoro, using the spiral pattern on her outfit to make him dizzy before charging with her Peacock Slashers. Karoo veers so her armed hand faces the wrong way, sending her sliding off the roof. Dodging more of Mr. 8's fire, Zoro cuts an opening and drops into an alley, where Mr. 9 snares one of his arms with an iron-cabled bat. Miss Wednesday then hauls out the sleeping Luffy and threatens to kill him if Zoro moves. When Mr. 8 fires from guns hidden in his hair, Zoro yanks the cable, flinging Mr. 9 into the explosive rounds, then hurls him at Miss Wednesday and Karoo to scatter them. Bouncing off Luffy's inflated body like a trampoline, Zoro vaults up and fells Mr. 8 with a single cut, ending the battle.

Notes

Set during the Whisky Peak Arc, the chapter explains how Baroque Works names its agents: male code names reflect combat strength, female ones come from holidays or days of the week, and partners are paired by gender. Miss Wednesday is revealed to ride a duck named Karoo. The cover continues the Diary of Koby-Meppo series, with the pair apologizing to Vice-Admiral Garp for both their insubordination and their failure to recapture Morgan.
