The Admirable Captain T Bone

Hurtling toward Enies Lobby, those riding the Rocketman trade impressions of the fight they just witnessed until Luffy interrupts to point out a train ahead. His crewmates doubt him, since catching the Puffing Tom this quickly seems impossible, yet what lies in front of them turns out to be its two rearmost cars, now uncoupled. With no way to brake their own engine, Luffy fires himself forward with Gomu Gomu no Rocket to inspect the stranded cars. Landing among only Government personnel and no captives, he waves back that none of their friends are present.

Zambai recommends tearing the parked cars to pieces as the Rocketman roars past so nothing collides, and Luffy instead orders Zoro to slice them. Drawing on a fresh move, Nitoryu Iai: Rashomon, Zoro halves the cars without harming the officials inside, stunning his own crew and clearing the path. Spotting butchered Sea Kings further on, Zoro feels a powerful enemy nearby and fits his headband. Ahead, T Bone sprints along the rails after the Puffing Tom, then registers the Sea Train at his back and grasps that the cars he detached have been dealt with. The moment he moves to strike, Zoro fells him with another new attack, Santoryu: Gyuki: Yuzume, after which the train barrels on.

Zoro unveils two original swordsmanship techniques here and overwhelms T Bone in a short, fierce duel. On the cover, the Goldenweek side story tasks Captain Black Cage Hina with rounding up any loose Baroque Works members across Kyuka Island, her chief quarry being Mr. 3. The chapter forms part of the Water 7 Arc.
