Titled "Prepared," this Baratie Arc chapter pits a battered Luffy against the boastful Don Krieg, ending with Luffy smashing the warlord's supposedly indestructible armor to pieces.
Main Characters (4)
Summary
Don Krieg crows that strength alone decides victory and that his armor cannot be broken, yet Luffy stays convinced he can win. Every assault Krieg throws is slipped and answered with a punch. Watching from the sidelines, Sanji doubts the worn-out Luffy can prevail against such a foe, but Zeff insists Luffy holds one edge Krieg lacks: no dread of dying. Zeff explains that on the battlefield a single flicker of fear means instant defeat, and Luffy carries no such fear.
Key Events
Krieg presses on, eager to execute the brat who dared challenge East Blue's self-styled mightiest captain, but his strikes never land cleanly. He slices a mast Luffy clings to, and Luffy hurls the broken timber back, only for Krieg to incinerate it with flame. Gomu Gomu no Gatling and Pistol both bounce off the armor, and as Krieg readies bombs from atop the mast, Luffy charges in. A final Gomu Gomu no Bazooka finally cracks the plating apart, leaving the warlord exposed.
