Chapter 372

Two fights run in parallel across the cars of the Puffing Tom. On the roof, Franky and the rookie agent Nero keep trading blows, while down in the kitchen Sanji systematically dismantles Wanze and his battle suit before knocking him clear out of the carriage.

The cover continues the Miss Goldenweek travelogue. Spotting a fresh wanted poster, her group learns that the other big-name Baroque Works escapee, Mr. 2, has slipped his own confinement.

Nero opens with a focused Rankyaku slash that Franky absorbs behind his Star Shield, privately concluding that his opponent is no ordinary human. After Franky spits out a volley of nails, the agent flits clear with Geppo and admits to himself that he never finished learning Shigan. A feint draws Nero in, but he reads the trap, slips behind Franky with Soru, and pumps pistol rounds into the cyborg's spine, exposing the back as a soft spot. To shield that weakness, Franky drops flat and clowns his way into a so-called reverse centaur pose.

In the kitchen, Sanji shreds the arms, then the legs, then the whole of the Ramen Suit before pounding Wanze repeatedly, reshaping the cook's face entirely. He tallies three offenses against him: posing as a chef, ruining food, and badmouthing Robin. A final kick rockets Wanze through the carriages into the second car, where CP9 has gathered.

Nero pinpoints that the cyborg's rear is his vulnerable point. Sanji's finishing blow sends Wanze hurtling from the third car all the way back to the second, landing him among the assassins of CP9. The events were animated across Episode 260 and Episode 261.
