Chapter 385

Inside the Tower of Justice, Spandam presents Kaku and Kalifa with a pair of Devil Fruits, and after some hesitation both agents swallow them. The Straw Hat assault keeps barreling forward, and on the courthouse roof Luffy stays locked in combat with Blueno, who reveals the full reach of his door-making power.

Jabra warns that eating a fruit near another could make a Devil Fruit user explode, but Blueno and Lucci correct the myth: only swallowing two fruits brings that fatal end. Spandam admits he has no idea what abilities the gifts grant. Kaku bites into his banana-shaped fruit and Kalifa samples her melon-shaped one, both grimacing at the taste while feeling nothing yet. Lucci tells them their powers will surface in time.

On the roof, Blueno presses Luffy with Geppou, Rankyaku, and rolling Tekkai attacks, then demonstrates the Doa Doa no Mi. He traps Luffy's ankles through tile doors and spins the middle of his head like a knob, leaving him dizzy and open to a punishing kick. Watching from below, Zoro and Sanji realize Luffy has already engaged CP9. Though Gomorrah is gravely hurt and blinded by mortar fire, the bull refuses to quit, ramming through a building that Zoro and Sanji shatter so the party can reach the courthouse door before he collapses.

This chapter plants the seeds of Kaku's and Kalifa's future transformations and clarifies the lore that consuming two Devil Fruits is lethal. Zambai recalls how the Franky Family adopted Sodom and Gomorrah as emergency rations from a Sea King's belly, only to grow fiercely protective of them. The cover advances the Baroque Works subplot with Mr. 2 confronting Mr. 3.
