Power

Sprawled on the outer balcony after Franky's blast, Fukurou drags himself upright. Chopper urges Franky to hold off, since nothing matters until they secure the Number 2 key. Franky bares his shoulders to show off twin Destroyer Cannons, weapons he hates firing because they wrench his joints, and uses them as bait to chase Fukurou rather than truly bombard him. The owl-like agent slips away with Soru, bragging that his silent hunting style makes him impossible to track, only for Chopper to land a surprise blow that locates him.

Enraged, Fukurou unleashes a Tekkai Dama that sends both fighters tumbling off the ledge into the ocean. Chopper can only wish Franky luck, fearing the cyborg will be dragged over the falls. In the water Fukurou counts on his Geppo to save himself, while Franky battles the current. On shore, Kumadori miraculously frees himself from the locked fridge, now noticeably fatter, and thanks Chopper for the meal.

Franky surfaces at the very lip of the waterfall and resorts to a Coup de Boo to launch skyward. The two keep trading techniques in midair until Franky hooks Fukurou's ankle with a Strong Right, threatening to drag them both down. Cornered, Fukurou agrees to ferry Franky back to land, each vowing a single finishing move to end the fight there.

The duel relocates from the tower to the sea and the edge of the waterfall, where Fukurou's mastery of evasive Soru techniques is showcased. Kumadori breaks out of the refrigerator dramatically heavier, and the standoff ends with both fighters promising to settle things with one decisive strike once they reach shore.

The installment underscores how skilled Fukurou is at vanishing through his Soru footwork. The chapter opens with a color spread parodying Japanese superhero shows, captioned Go, go! Our Chopper Man, a riff derived from the theme of Toho's 1972 Kyodai Hero entry Godman. The cover stars the wider Straw Hat crew.
