Kalifa, a blonde woman with glasses, glares angrily and demands, "HOW COULD YOU LET THAT HAPPEN!I" and "THEY DISCONNECTED THE LAST TWO CARS!I" Inside the ornate train car, she questions the situation on the intact cars. A man in a top hat reports, "GOT TRAPPED IN THE DISCONNECTED CARS!" while another replies, "BUT EVEN CAPTAIN T-BONE, ONE OF OUR PRIMARY FIGHTERS, I'M TRULY SORRY!!" A diagram shows the five train cars with labels: 1st Car (Nico Robin), 2nd Car (everyone), 3rd Car (Nero), 4th Car (Wanze), 5th Car (soldiers down). A voice states, "AS OF NOW, THERE ARE FIVE CARS STILL WITH US."

The man in the top hat declares, "THAT FRANKY HAS BEEN FREED. OUR MISSION IS TO DELIVER FRANKY AND NICO ROBIN TO ENIES LOBBY." He notes the attackers sound strong but the main problem remains. Agents discuss the intruders: one in a top hat and another wearing a mask. A close-up shows a long-nosed man realizing, "THEIR GOAL IS TO TAKE NICO ROBIN BACK, AND FRANKY IS JUST HELPING THEM OUT." The top-hatted man adds, "HE'S PROBABLY A MEMBER OF THE STRAW HATS, LIKE THE GUY WITH LONG NOSE." Another agent identifies, "THE OTHER ONE IS A BLONDE MALE IN A SUIT... SO A TOTAL OF THREE ATTACKERS..."

Inside the train car, Wanze bursts forward on roller skates with wild energy, striking dramatic poses. "YEAH!!! I'LL STOP YOU!!! SASASA SAGA!" he shouts. A voice challenges from the side, "ARE YOU GONNA TRY TO STOP USI" Wanze spins and yells "POSE!!" while the masked man and a tall figure watch near the door. In a close-up, Wanze's face fills with manic glee as he declares, "IF YOU WANT TO FREE THE PRISONERS... YOU'LL HAVE TO DEFEAT MY RAMEN KENPO FIRST!!!" He continues, "THE REASON I'M HERE IS... FOR A SITUATION LIKE THIS!!!" A note reads "*KENPO IS FIGHTING STYLE."

Wanze's bizarre technique triggers shock. "RA... RAMEN KENPO!!I" he and the masked man react with wide eyes and sweat drops. Sanji, unfazed, smirks and taunts, "YOU'RE ENERGETIC, AREN'T YOU!I" Wanze lunges with "SASASASAGA!! SOI DID I LOOK LIKE YOUI" while the masked man yells "DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!" and "YOU IDIOTIC COOK!!! DON'T YOU MOCK ME!!!" Sanji delivers a powerful kick, landing with a massive "BOOM!!" and "EEEE!!" as Wanze reels from the impact, his ramen-based stance shattered.

Sanji questions the fight, "WHAT THE HELL!!I STOP DOING THAT STUPID LOOK!!!" Wanze grins wildly, noting "s... SCARY... MY HEART ALMOST JUMPED OUT..." and "AND YET, YOUR FACE DIDN'T EVEN TWITCH!I" The masked man adds, "WHAT THE... THAT SHOT SHOULD'VE AT LEAST NICKED YOU..." Sanji warns, "IT'LL JUST WASTE TIME!!! I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM!!!" and "DON'T LET HIM CONTROL YOU..." Wanze rages, "STOP, STOP!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M BEING MOCKED BY SOMEONE LIKE THAT!!!" Later, Wanze confronts Sanji directly, "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING ATI I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!" and declares, "THE THING I DISLIKE MOST... IS THE FACT THAT YOU CALL YOURSELF A CHEF!!!"

Sanji leaps with a powerful kick, "YOU FELL FOR HIS TRICK, TOO!!!" as Wanze is sent flying, "LEAP!!" The masked man shouts, "GET OUT!!!" In the background, allies urge, "BE SERIOUS ALREADY!!!" and "DAMN YOU! STOP MAKING THAT FACE! THAT WAS SCARY!!" Wanze recovers, noting "AND HE STILL ACTS LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED!!!" while another observes, "BUT LOOK... HE DODGED SANJI'S KICK SO EASILY!!!" Sanji stands calmly, cigarette in mouth, and states, "YOU TWO, GO TO THE NEXT CAR!! OKAY, LEAVE THIS GUY TO ME."

Wanze hunches over his station, frantically adding golden flour as a massive poof of white powder erupts around him. "HE'S MAKING RAMEN AGAIN!I" someone shouts in alarm. "ADDING GOLDEN FLOUR!!!" Wanze declares while chomping loudly. "I~~~ WON'T ~~~ LET ~~~ YOU ~~~!!!" he roars. Sanji charges in but is forced back by a sudden blast. "AH!I" he reacts as a metallic "TUNK!!!!" sounds. Wanze unleashes a devastating technique, yelling "RAMEN BEAM ~~~!!!" The powerful beam explodes across the car. "WATCH OUT!!!" a voice cries as the blast hurls Sanji backward. "WAA AAA!!!" he yells while crashing through debris.

Sanji launches a powerful spinning kick. "CHOI-YA!!!" he shouts as his leg connects. "STOP THAT!!!" Wanze yells from the side. In the next car, allies watch the fight. "WE'LL LEAVE HIM TO YOU, SANJI-KUN!!!" one calls. "OKAY. LET'S GO FROM THE TOP!!" another replies. A sharp impact "シャキーン!!!" rings out. Wanze is sent flying. "SASASAI!! THEY GOT AWAY ~~~~!!!!" he wails while tumbling away on his strange vehicle. A suited figure stands calmly nearby. "BUT OH WELL... THE PERSON IN THE NEXT CAR IS..." the suited man remarks as a "CLACK!" echoes.

Wanze rants wildly, "THOSE TWO ARE DEAD MEAT!!! NERO LOVES TO KILL!!! SASASASA!!!" while a grotesque face looms behind him. "NERO!! ALTHOUGH HE'S A NEW MEMBER, HE'S STILL ONE OF THE ASSASSINS OF JUSTICE, CP9!!!" he boasts. Sanji leaps into action. "CHOI-YA!!!" he cries as he dodges. "LEAP!!" "SHOOT!!!" "FLAN-CHET" commands ring out amid rapid strikes. Wanze counters with "RAMEN KENPO: DOUGH CUT!" spinning his weapon while yelling "WHIRR!!" and "TAKE THIS!!" The suited man, Nero, sits unfazed. "OK THEN..." he says. "GET OUT OF MY WAY. AS I SAID, WE'RE SHORT ON TIME."

Nero activates his technique, shouting "FIRE SKATE!!!" as flames erupt from his feet. Sanji reacts with "HYUH!!!" and "!!!!" while narrowly avoiding the blazing charge. The fiery skate attack slams into the car with explosive force. "ズバババババン!!!!" the impact thunders. Wanze is caught in the blast, "FOOM!!" erupting around him as the car interior is wrecked. "CRASH!" "CRASH..." debris flies everywhere. Sanji and Nero brace amid the destruction, the train car left in ruins from the fierce exchange.

Sanji's powerful kick sends Wanze flying backward with a loud FWUMP, the impact marked by huge black SFX and Wanze grunting GUH!!! as debris scatters. Wanze recovers and yells in shock, "!!!I ARE YOU ACTUALLY SECRETLY SUPER STRONG!!I YOU DODGED MY ATTACK AND KICKED ME TEN TIMES!I" Sanji stands with arms crossed, replying coolly, "NO... YOU'RE JUST SUPER WEAK." Wanze explodes in rage, "YOU'RE IN NO POSITION TO CRITICIZE MY LOOKS!!! THAT'S WHY I FELL FOR YOUR ATTACKS!! THE TRUTH IS: I WAS DISTRACTED BY YOUR CURLY EYEBROWS...

Wanze declares, "WELL THEN!! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW... WHY I WAS CHOSEN FOR THIS JOB!!" while pulling long strands of ramen dough with dramatic sound effects. Sanji reacts with surprise, "THATI WHAT IS..." Wanze continues pulling, "AND I PULL IT, AND I PULL IT!!! I PULL THE DOUGH!!" He then activates his ultimate move, shouting "RAMEN KENPO: ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE!!!" and transforms, revealing "RAMEN FORMAL BATTLE SUIT!!!" as a massive striped ramen bowl armor forms around him with heavy impact SFX. Wanze finishes, "...TO MAKE MY DREAMY, EDIBLE BATTLE SUIT!!"

Wanze boasts from inside the ramen battle suit, "MY SPEED, STRENGTH, AND SPECIAL ABILITIES... SASA SASASA, RAMEN KENPO'S ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE IS FREE MOVING RAMEN!! HAVE ALL DRASTICALLY IMPROVED!!" Sanji retorts sharply, "HOW DARE YOU DISGRACE FOOD LIKE THAT!I STOP YAPPING AND GET ON WITH IT!!! I'LL MAKE YOU EAT ALL OF THAT DOUGH!!" He charges forward and delivers a powerful kick that sends the suited Wanze flying with motion lines and impact effects. In the next scene on the train roof, an unidentified figure asks, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING THEREI" while another voice reacts, "— HM!I"

Nero lounges confidently on the train roof, declaring, "I'M THE SEA WEASEL, NERO! I'M THE OFFICER OF THE 3RD CAR... THE NEWLY RECRUITED CP9 FOUR-FORM USER!" He continues, "I CAN'T KILL YOU... UNFORTUNATELY... SINCE WE NEED YOU ALIVE." Below him, a spiky-haired man shouts angrily, "MY QUESTION WAS: WHY ARE YOU ON TOP OF THE TRAIN!I COULDN'T YOU WAIT FOR US INSIDE!I" A sign identifies the newcomer as "CP9 'SEA WEASEL' NERO".

A man in a black hat glares suspiciously and asks, "BUT I WONDER... WHO'S THAT BEHIND YOUI" His opponent answers, "THAT'S TRUE. IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO BE CAREFUL." The hatted man snaps back, "SINCE YOU WOULD TRY TO SNEAK PAST ME! OF COURSE NOT!" with a sharp "HEH!!" In the next instant a devastating punch explodes forward, sending the long-haired fighter reeling under a massive impact burst marked "!!I" The attacker roars, "'CAUSE I'M THE UNDERWORLD BOSS IN MY TOWN!!" The struck man laughs wildly, "WAAA HAHA HA!! THAT'S RIGHT!!" and retorts, "YOU PLAY DIRTY!!" while the other grimaces, "CHEE...!!!"

Inside an ornate train car the locomotive races ahead with a loud "WOOOWOOO!!" A girl with straight bangs stares in alarm, whispering "AH..." A hooded figure stands silently nearby as urgent knocking sounds "RAPRAPRAP!" echo from the window. Suddenly the door bursts open; a bizarre long-nosed masked character lunges inside with a huge "どん!!" impact. The girl recoils in shock, crying out "LONG NOSE-KUN!I!"
