The Train's Arrival to Enies Lobby Main Land

At the courthouse, the three heads of Judge Baskerville keep speaking over one another as if they were separate judges sharing one body. One declares, "I am the left-hand side of the three-headed judge!! Left Baskerville!!!" Another announces, "On the right-hand side, I am... Right Baskerville!!!" The center head follows, "And I am... the one in the middle!!!" and then shouts, "Center Freeway!" A guard interrupts with the emergency: "Your honor, we are under attack by the Straw Hat and his crew!!!" Another reports, "Kaashii of the front gate was defeated!! Oimo can't hold them off for long!!!" Baskerville reacts by ordering, "Send 100 Houbantai* to defend the front gate!!!" while another guard panics, "What!? They must not breach the front gate!!!" The note explains that Houbantai means law-guard-corps.

At the Enies Lobby front gate, the promised five minutes have run out. Someone shouts, "Our five minutes are up!!!" and another calls, "We have to clear a path for Rocket Man, now!!!" Oimo still tries to hold the line, roaring, "You'll never get past me!!!" but a fighter suddenly cries, "The gate's unlocked!!!" The order comes at once: "Push it and it'll open!!!" The raiders throw themselves against the gate, shouting "Damn it!!" and "Yeah!! Nice work!!!" Oimo sees the movement too late and blurts, "What!?" The gate that had seemed like the island's first immovable barrier is now ready to swing open.

Oimo lunges to stop them and bellows, "Don't touch that gate!!! Bastards!!!" The Franky Family and Galley-La answer with ropework instead of brute strength. A rope whips around the giant in a move called "Top Knot!!!" and Oimo gasps, "Huh!?" as loops cinch around his body. Someone watching the technique marvels, "Wow!! Just as I expected of a Galley-La chief mechanic!" while another confused defender asks, "What are you trying to do with this rope?" The answer from the workers is simple and urgent: "Franky Family!!! Pull!!!" Their plan is not to overpower Oimo directly, but to bind him and use their numbers to drag him away from the gate.

The plan tightens around Oimo. Someone shouts, "All right!! Let's go, Sodom!! Gomorrah!!!" and the giant sea beasts bite the rope with "Chomp!" while a fighter orders, "Bite onto the rope tightly!!!" Oimo can only yell, "Bahhih!!!" as Sodom and Gomorrah strain forward, dragging the bound giant away from the doorway. The raiders see their opening and roar, "Now's our chance!!! Open the gate!!!" and "Charge!!!" Oimo weakly protests, "Stop..." and "Aah..." but the momentum has shifted. The front gate is no longer Oimo's to defend.

Hands shove against the huge doors with the command "Push!!!" Sodom and Gomorrah keep pulling, and the doors begin to move. The fighters shout, "Look, the gate...!!" "The gate's opening!!" and "What's Oimo doing!?" The opening becomes a breach: "The gate's been breached!!!" Oimo is dragged backward in panic, crying "Bahhih!!!" and "Oo-waa-aaa!" while the crowd pours through the gap. The front gate, once guarded by giants and soldiers, is forced open by the combined strength of Galley-La, the Franky Family, and the sea beasts.

The scene shifts to the Enies Lobby main gate beyond the front gate. A guard stares toward the sea and murmurs, "Hey..." then another says, "Look at the sea...!!!" White wakes cut across the water. The Rocket Man is not slowing down; it is charging straight at the island. Soldiers panic: "A sea train...!!?" "What's going on...!?" and "It's charging right at us!!!" One cries, "Are they trying to ram their way onto the main island...!?" while another insists, "There's no way it can get past the fence!!" The train answers with its own cry of "Wooowooo!!" as it rushes toward the barrier at full speed.

On the Rocket Man, Zoro braces himself with his swords, silent and focused. The others suddenly realize the plan has changed. Someone calls, "Hey, Granny!!!" and another asks, "Hm!?" Kokoro tells them, "Everyone, there's a change of plan!! Hang on to something tightly!!" Sanji yells toward Zoro, "Hey!!! Stupid swordsman! What's the problem!?" At that moment the main gate slams shut with a heavy "Clack..." and the warning spreads: "They closed the main gate!!!" A voice cries, "What!?" The rescue party is no longer riding through an open path; the train is headed straight for a barrier that has just been sealed.

The passengers panic as the fence rushes closer. Chopper cries, "Oh no! We're gonna crash!!!" while Nami shouts, "Ah--!!! What should we do--!!!" and another voice yells, "Turn! Turn! Kokoro-sa--n!!!" Zoro remains calm: "Don't worry... There's a way!!!" Kokoro gives the ridiculous order that makes the plan clear: "Push down the fence, frog!!!" Yokozuna answers with "Geroo!!!" and slams himself forward against the barrier. Guards below stare in horror: "No way...!! Going up the fence at this speed...!!" The train climbs with a strained "Creek!!" while voices scream "No way!!!" and "Waah!!!"

The Rocket Man becomes airborne. Soldiers gape and shout, "The sea train is... flying!!!" as the locomotive arcs high above the gate with a long "Oo-waa-aaa-aaa!!!" Inside, the crew's panic turns hysterical: "We're all gonna die--!!" "Eeh--!!? We're going to die--!?" and "Nami-san! Rush to my protective embrace!!" Another voice demands, "Idiot!! Isn't there a huge pit behind that gate!?" Zoro is asked, "Zoro, did you consider how we're going to land!!?" He answers with blunt trust: "Leave it to... luck!!!" When someone echoes, "Leave it to luck--!?" the page makes the danger enormous: the train has cleared the gate, but no one knows how it will survive the landing.

Back near the front gate, Oimo lies stunned, spinning-eyed and groaning "Aaah!!!" The raiders realize the other giant is down too: "They got Oimo, too!" Kashii struggles upright with a weak "Weh..." only to be hit by the force of the continuing battle around him. The crowd suddenly looks toward the island and screams, "Look... over there!!" Bodies and debris arc through smoke as the rescue party and their allies continue to force their way forward. The front-gate defenders have been neutralized, but the chaos has only grown larger, spreading from the gate toward the main island.

The Franky Family and Galley-La stand over the fallen giants and face the next wave. A government fighter shouts, "Are you all Straw Hat Pirates!!?" The raiders react with surprise: "Really!?" and "That's right!!" Even if the label is not accurate for everyone present, it no longer matters. Zambai tightens his expression and says, "... Makes no difference either way. Let's just get 'em!" The others answer with "Alright, you guys!!!" and "Give 'em everything we got!!!" The crowd charges with "Oo-woooah!!!" Their purpose is now unified: anyone opposing Robin's rescue and Franky's return will be treated as the same enemy.

A sudden gunshot cuts through the charge. Paulie is struck at close range, and the others scream, "Paulie--!!!" He staggers with "Ugh!!" while someone yells, "Bastard--!!!" The shooter stands calmly in the smoke, asking, "Who're you guys!?" as if the entire invasion has merely interrupted his post. Paulie recovers enough to whip his rope and land near the attacker, but the wound and the shock make the moment dangerous. The raiders have moved past giants and gates only to meet a new kind of opponent: a disciplined armed guard who can stop their momentum with one precise shot.

A full unit steps forward, announcing, "We are the Hou-Bantai!!!" A caption identifies them as "Enies Lobby First Class Guards Hou no Banken Butai," with a note that the name means watchdog unit of the law. Under Judge Baskerville's direct order, they declare, "You're all under arrest!!!" and their dogs bark "Woof!!" Behind them, one of the giants is still recovering and someone shouts, "Oimo!!! What are you doing!?" The giant weakly answers, "Ah... I... fainted," and another voice scolds, "You've allowed these pirates to open the gate!!!" Oimo groans, "Ow!!" and says, "It won't forgive..." while a fighter nearby vows, "I won't forgive you bastards--!!!" The law-guard unit has arrived to restore control.

The Rocket Man clears the gate in a spectacular arc. Soldiers scream "Eeeh---!!!" and "Aaah!!!" as the giant train sails past the barrier and over the battlefield. Someone reports in disbelief, "The Rocket Man... flew over the gate!!" while another shouts the bitter realization: "We opened the gate for nothing!!!" The image of the locomotive flying over Oimo's huge body turns the whole plan upside down. The fighters at the front gate worked desperately to open a path, only for the sea train to leap the obstacle entirely.

The Rocket Man lands on the main island with a long "Fwoosh..." amid the smoke and the stunned crowds. The watchers stare at the train and ask, "Wha... what happened...?" and "With that kind of landing... are they okay in there...?" One voice wonders, "Is anyone coming out?" The answer comes in the form of silhouettes and movement around the train. The rescuers have survived the impossible jump. The Government soldiers hesitate, unsure whether to charge or wait, while the train sits in the heart of Enies Lobby like an impossible intruder.

Two figures step out first: Zoro with his swords and Sanji with a cigarette, both calm in the middle of enemy territory. Soldiers cry, "Ah! Who are those two!?" and "Pirates!!?" Zoro pauses and says, "? ... Oh." Sanji suggests, "Maybe we should greet them first?" Zoro replies, "That's pointless, idiot...!" From the ground, someone shouts, "It's Roronoa and the others!!!" and the raiders cheer, "We've been waiting!!!" Zambai's plan is confirmed as he says, "Everything... is going... exactly... as I planned." The arrival of Zoro and Sanji turns the chaotic landing into a fighting entrance.
