Chapter 404: "FRANKY VS. FUKUROU". A vibrant title splash shows a young woman in a striped outfit leaping high on a balcony, arm raised triumphantly while holding a paper, surrounded by swirling rainbow rings and sparkling stars. Below her, Franky strikes a pose with his arms crossed, wearing his signature speedo and sunglasses, alongside a curly-haired woman and a large striped creature with a lolling tongue. In the background, a grand castle rises from the sea under a dramatic sky. At the bottom, text reads: THE NAME OF MISS GOLDENWEEK'S STRATEGY "MEET BAROQUE" VOL. 35: "COLOR TRAP: 'RAINBOW OF DREAMS,' BECOME WHATEVER YOU WISH!"

A small creature with rabbit ears shouts, "Nyaa, nyaa! PIRATE-BRO'S FUN~~~!" Nearby signs label "Undersea passage entrance" and "Tower of Justice basement." An explosion rocks the stone corridor with debris flying. Luffy, back in his normal form, runs forward panting, declaring, "I'M BACK TO NORMAL!" He then charges ahead with fierce determination, yelling, "THAT PIGEON GUY!!! I'LL SEND HIM FLYING!!! ALL RIGHT, WAIT FOR ME, ROBIIIN!!!" as massive impact sounds "どどん!!" shake the scene.

In a long stone corridor, a cloaked figure walks away as footsteps echo "clomp clomp." A voice wonders, "WAS IT JUST MY IMAGINATIONI NO WAY I IMAGINED THAT!!" and "I... HEARD A LOUD NOISE JUST NOW..." Robin stands with a sweat drop, replying to concerns about a child and pet following. A man in a wide hat exclaims, "HUH!I NO WAY IN HELL!! THAT'S A THICK-ASS STEEL DOOR!!!" while another suggests, "COULD IT BE... THE PIRATES DEMOLISHING THE DOORI" A pigeon-like figure and a stern man with a goatee appear; the man says, "I... NEVER RECEIVED AN ORDER TO..." as the pigeon cries "KURUPPOOO!" and another voice asks, "SO, WHAT NOW...I DOES THAT MEAN SOMEONE'S ON THE WAY HERE!I"

In the corridor in front of the kitchen, Franky vs. Fukurou, a masked figure with a wide grin says, "CHAPAPAPA. THERE'S NO REASON FOR ME TO PURPOSELY TAKE YOUR PRIDEFUL PUNCHES! I SEE YOU'RE QUICK TO RUN AWAY." Franky launches a powerful strike with "JACKER!!!" as impact lines and "オオオオオオオ!!" fill the air. Fukurou dodges, noting "HE DODGED IT..." while Franky unleashes "FRANKY TRIANGLE"... with rapid "ヌウ" and "GRIND" sounds from the pigeon-like observer. Motion lines and "WISH!" show the swift evasion.

A massive mechanical jaw lunges forward with a furious bite. "I WOULD NEVER TAKE THAT SIDEBURN ATTACK!!! CHAPAPA!!!" the cyborg bellows as the attack connects in a burst of debris and impact lines. Explosions ripple across the ruined area with "HIIIIN" and "CHAPA!!" SFX. The round CP9 agent dodges and counters, shouting "CHAPA!!" while the cyborg presses the assault. "THEN TAKE THIS!!!" the cyborg yells, unleashing another heavy strike that sends rubble flying amid repeated "CHAPA!!!" sound effects.

05
A colossal explosion erupts as Franky declares "WEAPONS LEFT!!!" The blast sends debris everywhere with "CHANK!!" SFX. Fukurou flees, yelling "GOTTA RUN TO THE KITCHEN NOW!!" while Franky pursues with "WAIT UP, BASTARD!!!" and "WOOSH!!" motion lines. Fukurou sweats, noting "MY COLA FUEL IS RUNNING OUT!" and "GUH....!!" Franky roars "BASTARD!! YOU REALLY PISSED ME OFF WITH THAT LINE!!" Fukurou retorts "CHAPA!! WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!I" as Franky dodges again. Fukurou thinks "...SHIT! THAT PUNK, HE DODGED IT AGAIN!I WHAT A SPINELESS DUDE WITH EXCELLENT FLEEING SKILLS."

06
Franky winds up a powerful strike, shouting "SUPER HEAVY "SHIGAN" SPEED PUNCH!!!" and "TAKE THIS KILLING BLOW FIRST!!!" Fukurou braces with "SHFF..." The punch lands with a massive "DU-GONG*!!!" impact that sends the CP9 agent flying. A note reads "*BEAST MAJESTY. ALSO A HERBIVOROUS MARINE MAMMAL." Fukurou recovers, declaring the attack "STRONG" and that "... AAAAARGH! THAT TAME PUNCH WON'T DO ANYTHING TO ME." He slips with "SLIP" and "!I" while Franky watches. Fukurou lands with "CLACK..." and "....!!!"

Fukurou activates his defense, yelling "TEKKAI" "!!!" and counters with a "HAM-MER" "!!!" strike that connects against Franky. Franky grunts "MMMMM-MMMF!!!" under the blow. The impact produces another "DU-GONG" "!!!" Fukurou reacts with surprise "... WHAT!II" and taunts "YOUR PUNCH IS A WUSS-PUSS! PUNCH!..." as Franky reels from the hit.

Franky and Fukurou trade insults mid-fight. "NOPE... YOURS IS THE WEAKY-GEEKY PUNCH." "YOU HAVE A WIMPI-LIMPI PUNCH..." "THEN YOURS IS A FLIMSY-CLUMSY PUNCH." "YOURS IS A LAZY-PANSY PANTYI" Fukurou laughs, "HEH HEH HEH..." Franky launches a massive strike, shouting "PANTY IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU!!!" Fukurou yells back, "THAT'S NOT A PUNCH!!!" The impact explodes with heavy SFX ドキドキドキ!! as debris flies.

A massive explosion rocks the room with SFX ドカーン!! and ガシャン!! ガシャン!! as the ceiling collapses. Fukurou crashes down amid rubble. In the kitchen below, Franky pins him, yelling "SHADDUP, TOAD MOUTH!" Fukurou retorts, "GET OFFA ME, BASTARD!!" More impacts echo with ズドォン...ン... and ガシャン ガシャン パリン!!

Fukurou eyes a huge fridge, exclaiming "AWESOME! THERE'S A HUGE-ASS FRIDGE!!" and "GOOD LORD, I'M FINALLY IN THE KITCHEN!!" while panting "HAA... HAA..." Franky swings a pipe, shouting "WAAH!!" as Fukurou counters with "YOYOOI!!!" SFX CRACKLE CRICK CRICK and impact lines fill the panel. Later, Franky growls, "OH, HIM...!!! HE'S PROBABLY A GORILLA DF USER..." while Fukurou panics, "3 MINUTES HAVE PASSED ALREADY!!" "SHIT!! I USED THE RUMBLE BALL TOO SOON!!"

Fukurou is hurled into the air with "OOWAH!!!" and "YO!!I" as Franky yells "YOYOOI AARRRRE DOOOONE FOOOOOR!! YOYO!" The fridge door slams shut with "CLICK!!" and "CLACK!!" Fukurou struggles, "YOYO... UGH!" Franky declares, "GOOD! IT HAS A LOCK!" From inside, Fukurou screams "HEEEY!! HOLD UP, GORILLA!!! I'VE GOTTA GET SOMETHING FROM THAT FRIDGE!!!" and "I... I DID IT! I LOCKED HIM UP!!!" with SFX ガシャン!! and クマドリ!!

Franky yells at the hooded figure, "LISTEN!! I'M WITH LUFFY; I HAVEN'T FORGIVEN YOU YET!! IT WAS YOUR FAULT THAT USOPP LEFT US!! I told you he was with you guys." The hooded man snaps back, "DAMN, YOU'RE SLOW!! WHO'RE YOU CALLING A GORILLA!I" Franky declares, "I'M FRANKY!!! I'M YOUR FRIEND!" while CP9 agents shout "CP9 AND THE PUNK!!!" and "OOWAA-AAAH!!" The hooded man, now revealed as a fierce fighter, growls, "THEN I CAN POWER UP!! GOOD! GET 3 BOTTLES OF COLA FROM THAT FRIDGE AND GIVE THEM TO ME!! I'LL FINISH THESE BASTARDS WITH EASE AND GET THE KEYS!" Franky screams desperately, "I DO WANT TO SAVE HER~~~!!! DON'T YOU WANT TO SAVE NICO ROBIN!I THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR THAT!!" The narration box states "*ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE DURING A BATTLE!!!" as the hooded man retorts, "IT'S RUDE TO ENJOY A LEISURELY TEA-TIME HOW MUCH LONGER WILL YOU BE QUARRELINGI" Franky charges forward yelling "WHO CARES, I JUST DO!!!" and "WHAT IDIOT BECOMES STRONGER WITH COLA!I" while a sign reads "DUGONG OUGI".

Fukurou unleashes his attack with massive impact lines and the cry "FUKURO DATAKI*!!!" as Franky is struck hard, screaming "OOWAA-AAH!!!" The massive strike continues with "DUGONG OUGI" effects and "DWAH!!!" SFX. Fukurou taunts "WHAT WAS THAT!!!I" while a small figure yells "BEANS LEFT!!" and "CHAPA-PAPA!!" with "PNKPNK" sounds. The scene shifts to a door being forced open as someone shouts "SLAMM!! YOYO!! AAAH, THE DOOOOR IS OOOOOPEN... YOSH!!" Inside, a voice calls "BLACK!! AH!" Fukurou panics, "OOWAH!! CRAP!! RIGHT, HE'S ON OUR SIDE NOW. I'D BETTER DO WHAT HE ASKED ME TO!!" while another figure yells "I CAN OPEN AND CLOSE IT IN A SECOND SO HE WON'T BE ABLE TO COME OUT!!!"

Franky bursts free with "FREE-EE-EEESH!!!" as the door explodes outward. A small creature bounces yelling "FRESH FRESH" and "PRSH" while Franky roars "OOH!!" The hooded fighter powers up dramatically with "DU-GONG." and "UGOAH!!!" SFX. A voice cheers "Vegetable Puuuunch!! FRESH-NESS IS THE BEST!!" as the fighter lands a powerful blow on Franky, sending him flying with "TO-GHHH" impact. Franky reacts in shock, "WHAT...!I" while the fighter declares "Vegetable Puuuunch!!"

Franky demands "WHO NEEDS HEALTH DRINKS, DAMN IT!!I GIMME SOME COLA!!!" while the fighter counters "I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST THIRSTY! IT'S VEGETABLE JUICE!!!" The fighter powers up shouting "GOOD!!! NOW I'M FEELIN'" with "Oh, more!!" as Franky is hit again. A masked figure appears saying "HERE YOU GO!! THANKS!!" with "MMMMM!!" The scene cuts to a defeated Franky tied up as voices argue "IDIOT!!! NOT!!!" and "We'll give ya some power. Ah reckon we should all jus' settle down. Ah'm done tillin' the soil fer now!" with Japanese SFX "どっこいしょ".

A small figure in a top hat clings to a high perch, shouting down, "YOU DON'T GET ANOTHER CHANCE, DEER!!!" Below, a panicked voice cries, "I-IT'S ABOUT I ONLY TAKE COLA! I ONLY FEEL LIKE DRINKING!I" A sweating, wide-eyed man in a black hat stares upward, exclaiming, "FUN!! HE'S SO... HEY!!! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT 'WHAT'LL HAPPEN IF I GIVE YOU DIFFERENT DRINKSI' FACE!I" In the next sequence, a long-haired figure leaps from a doorway, yelling, "MUGH!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT I WON'T LET YOU DO AS YOU PLEASE-----!!!" while another voice cheers, "OH, THANK GOD!! TH-THESE ARE COLA!! THESE ARE DEFINITELY COLA!!" Bottles fly through the air with impact lines. Suddenly an explosion erupts; Franky is hurled backward amid smoke and debris as someone shouts "FRAN-KYYY!!" A massive blast fills the panel with the cry "GWAAAAAH!!" and the words "RAN-KYAKU."

Franky launches a devastating punch labeled "HAM-MER"!!!, smashing into his opponent with a massive "DOBE BO!!!" impact that shatters the surroundings. The foe is sent flying. In a close-up, the battered enemy grins fiercely and declares, "WERE INDEED 'CRAPPY-FLAPPY' ONES. SORRY, BUDDY. 'TIL A MINUTE AGO, MY PUNCHES WHOOOOOA, COOL~~~~!!!" while Franky retorts from the side. The opponent then counters with a spinning kick, shouting "GUARD YOUR-SELF." and "ARE YOU GONNA USE YOUR CRAPPY-FLAPPY PUNCH AGAINI" Franky blocks the strike, muttering "STRONG"... as the fight intensifies with motion lines and debris.
