Chapter 513

The crew puzzles over where Zoro went after Kuma's paw touched him. Chopper rampages in Monster Point against Sentomaru, Rayleigh keeps Kizaru locked in their duel, and Nami recalls having seen this same vanishing power at Thriller Bark when Kuma erased Perona. Pressed by Luffy, Sentomaru explains that anyone struck by those paws sails through the air for three days and nights toward a place only Kuma knows.

When PX-1 lunges at Usopp with a beam, Kuma flicks the machine far away, infuriating Sentomaru. Luffy orders everyone to run as fast and far as they can, but Kuma descends on the fleeing trio. Brook offers himself up with a final bone pun and disappears. Sanji, sinking into despair, kicks at Kuma only to be swatted into rubble, then Usopp and finally Sanji himself are sent off.

Kuma murmurs something private to Rayleigh, and when Kizaru demands to know what was said, the Warlord flatly refuses to answer. Luffy shifts into Gear 2 as Kuma teleports beside Franky and Nami. Franky's Strong Right does nothing, Luffy's Jet Pistol is blocked, and one by one Franky and Nami are launched away. With only Robin and the raging Chopper remaining, Luffy lunges again, but Kuma simply blinks to their position and dispatches Chopper, then Robin. Pleading for the assault to stop, Luffy collapses in tears, and Kuma, telling him they will not meet again, sends the captain flying, completing the crew's total defeat.

This chapter closes the Sabaody Archipelago Arc and delivers the crew's complete "eradication" at Kuma's hands. Sentomaru's explanation of the three-day flight sets up where each member will land. Kuma's whispered words to Rayleigh become a hanging mystery. The cover, part of the CP9 side story, depicts Lucci continuing his brutal beatdown of the Candy Pirates' captain.
