Luffy's outrage over the squandered red bean soup boils into open violence, drawing Zoro, Apoo, and a vengeful Kid into the fray as the carefully planned infiltration starts to unravel.
Main Characters (4)
Summary
Furious that the Beasts Pirates jeer at the oshiruko they spilled, Luffy unloads a Gear 3 strike on them, demanding to know why they hoard food while Tama goes hungry. Zoro, hearing the racket, slices through a tower to reach him and joins in once he too remembers Tama. Scratchmen Apoo recognizes the pair and turns his sound-based attacks on them, battering the duo until they flee. Kid, meanwhile, drops his own disguise to assault Apoo, repaying the betrayal of his crew.
Key Events
The commotion draws notice from Queen and Kid alike, and Apoo alerts Queen that Luffy and Zoro are loose on Onigashima. Queen, recalling Babanuki's false all-clear, announces he intends to cull a Tobiroppo member, exciting his subordinates with the prospect of a vacancy. Apoo's music wounds both Luffy and Zoro despite them seeing nothing strike, and an explosion knocks Luffy out cold before Zoro hauls him to safety. As Apoo readies another blow, Kid crushes him with Punk Gibson, ignoring Killer's warning that it will expose them.
