Chapter 646

To Usopp's amazement, Chopper now holds his controlled beast form for three minutes on a single Rumble Ball. The sniper springs his ambush, calling up burrowing Humandrakes and a launching Trampolia bloom that strip Daruma of any cover. Lifting his helmet, Ikaros bares a piercing spear set on his head. Zoro at first turns away from the spiritless Hyouzou, dismissing him as a frog, until the octopus draws eight fresh blades and pounces. Sanji stalls atop Wadatsumi's face as Jinbe readies a strike, and a humming Brook drifts straight into the circle Zeo has drawn around himself.

The officers drop in quick succession. Brook's Glancing Song Blizzard Cut splits Zeo from waist to crown and freezes both the wound and its blood. Usopp finishes Daruma with the shockwave-tipped Impact Wolf, while Chopper's Kokutei Palme shatters Dosun's hammer and hurls him away. Franky scorches Ikaros with the Pacifista-style Franky Radical Beam. Surrounding his fist in water, Jinbe punches clean through the bloated Wadatsumi with the secret Fish-Man Karate move Buraikan, flinging him skyward so a flaming Sanji can crush him with Hell Memories. Zoro then slices the leaping Hyouzou apart using Rengoku Onigiri, branding him a well-bound frog ignorant of the wider sea. With that, every officer lies beaten.

Aisa and Nola resurface on the cover, marking their return since the earlier Where They Are Now cover sequence. The chapter locks in Chopper's three-minute limit and his single-Rumble-Ball requirement, and it parades each crewmate's upgraded technique against the enemy. Zoro's frog taunt echoes Mihawk's first jab at him during their earliest meeting. With seven double-spreads, the issue ties Chapter 554 for the second-highest count in the series.
