Chapter 263

Chopper savors beating Gedatsu, now sinking head-first into his own swamp until he vanishes entirely, then sets off toward a towering beanstalk that marks the ruins of Shandora. Racing through the forest, Kamakiri spots the same landmark and notes Enel waits at its top. When his fellow Shandia is suddenly seized and wounded in Enel's grip, Kamakiri shouts in fury, and Enel, demanding to be called Lord, offers to stand idle for five minutes so the warrior can try his best to kill a god.

On the Going Merry, Nami and Gan Fall battle Hotori and Kotori, who claim revenge for Satori. A point-blank shot at Nami releases only foul gas from a flavor dial, revealing the brothers wield flame, axe, impact, and flavor dials and keep swapping places to confuse their foes. Gan Fall fakes being blown overboard, then drops Kotori with his lance, while Nami's returning Clima-Tact knocks Hotori off the ship. Identifying the brothers' four dial types is what lets the pair finally strike back.

Nami finishes Hotori with a weather trap: she chills the humid air, baits him into firing his flame dial, then uses Fog Tempo to blanket the deck before pressing Gan Fall's impact-dial gauntlet to his face, the recoil flinging her back too. Kotori is revealed as the youngest of the three brothers, and the Merry takes still more damage. Meanwhile, Robin has been wounded against Yama, who mocks that she is weaker than she pretends. Trivia notes Nami's cover shirt echoes a dress Bell-mère made back in Chapter 77.
