Titled "The Spear Is Stifled," this chapter ends Luffy's duel with Don Krieg as the rubber pirate lands a finishing blow despite being netted over the sea, with Sanji's rescue and Gin's intervention closing the fight.
Summary
Luffy at last shatters Don Krieg's armor, dismaying the Krieg Pirates who watch their captain fall. Refusing to concede, Krieg snares Luffy in an iron net above the ocean, a death sentence for the rubber-bodied boy who cannot swim. Krieg savors the prospect of last-second revenge, but Luffy thrusts his free limbs toward him. Krieg orders his crew to riddle the captive with arrows before the strike can connect.
Key Events
Watching from afar, Sanji is baffled that Luffy will not retreat, while Zeff insists the boy cannot back down after a fight like this. Sanji scatters the archers, buying Luffy the moment to land Gomu Gomu no Tsuchi squarely on Krieg's head, knocking him cold. Luffy then plummets toward the sea, and Zeff explains to Sanji that Luffy won through sheer courage and a refusal to fear death, only now mentioning the boy cannot swim. Sanji dives in to save him. Krieg staggers back up in a daze, prompting Gin to end his own captain's rampage with a punch and lead the Krieg Pirates in retreat to start over.
Notes
Don Krieg nets Luffy and casts him toward the ocean, but Luffy slams into the ship's wreckage to fell Krieg before sinking. Sanji rescues him from the water. Gin incapacitates Krieg once the defeated captain mindlessly continues to fight. The cover continues Buggy's Crew Adventure Chronicles, with Buggy and Alvida discovering his grave alongside the still-unconscious Mohji and Cabaji.
