Chapter 469

Hogback fumes that Cindry has stopped obeying and is weeping, while Chopper and Robin note that the woman who died ten years ago is still resisting from within her revived body. Cindry forces out a vow to defeat the Straw Hats, which Hogback hopes to exploit as cover for his escape, but Robin immobilizes her with Doce Fleur. As the doctor tries to flee, Chopper tackles him, and Robin lifts the pair high so Chopper can finish him with a suplex.

In the freezer, Luffy meets his towering zombie Oars for the first time as Moria, pleased that shadow and body have synchronized, orders the beast to crush the Straw Hats without restraint. Oars unleashes Gomu Gomu no Kane, a headbutt that smashes the wall and collapses the room holding Robin, Chopper, Hogback, and Cindry. Chopper shifts to Walk Point to land safely while Hogback and Cindry tumble below, a boulder pinning the doctor. Cindry, again unable to move, gives Chopper a warm smile before Oars destroys the floor once more.

Oars bursts free of the mast tower, spotted by Zoro, Franky, and Brook. In the church the giant's leg crashes through the ceiling, and when Sanji turns to flee with the sleeping Nami she vanishes from his arms, snatched once more by an invisible Absalom who means to resume the wedding. Luffy chases Moria through the corridors, knowing only the Warlord's defeat can restore the shadows. Oars bellows for the Straw Hats to appear, while the remaining special zombies flee the ruined mansion vowing to avenge Perona.
