Chapter 478: "LUFFY VERSUS LUFFY". The title page shows a confident short-haired woman in a black-and-white striped outfit standing with one hand on her hip. She holds a bowling ball labeled "8 Ride" and poses beside a large checkered flag planted in the ground. A large mechanical turtle-like vehicle with goggles and pipes sits in front of her, while a smaller figure in the background appears to be running or falling near trees and debris.

The massive stitched giant Oz looms over the battlefield, swinging a colossal fist. "THERE'S ONLY THE THREE OF US AGAINST THAT MONSTER....!!!" a pigtail-haired girl shouts in panic. "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!! THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN BEAT HIM!!!" "THREE PEOPLE!!!" another voice cries as the giant's punch descends. "THAT LEAVES" reads a speech bubble. A cloaked figure yells "DWAAA, HERE HE COMES!!!" while a long-nosed man in a hat declares "I'LL CREATE AN OPENING...!!!" Oz's face fills a panel with a wide grin: "GO AHEAD AND CRUSH THEM, OZ! KISHISHI-SHISHI...!!!" The long-nosed man reacts "HM!I USOPP!!" as another shouts "HUHI WHAT!I" Oz's massive punch lands with heavy impact SFX, sending characters flying amid rubble. "UGGHH!!" cries one victim as the giant presses his attack.

Oz continues his assault with a flurry of strikes. A swordsman readies a three-sword technique: "SANTOU-RYUU..." while a small bird-like figure clings nearby. "OOH!! I SEE!! ROGER THAT!!" someone calls out amid the chaos. "GAGA!!" Oz roars as the swordsman is struck. The giant unleashes a spinning attack labeled "YASHA-GARASU**!!!" with the note "DEMON CROW". The swordsman gasps "HUUH!I" as the barrage of circular impacts slams into him, sending debris flying. The sequence ends with a close-up of Oz's massive stitched arm and hand.

Oz's enormous fist smashes forward with explosive force, scattering tiny figures. "UOO!!!" he bellows. Smaller panels show the giant striking repeatedly. "AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH THE RIGHT ARM!!" a voice exclaims. A woman with a ponytail watches in shock: "WAH!! HE DID IT!!" "DID IT!I" another asks. The swordsman launches a counterattack labeled "TORA GARI**!!!" with the note "TIGER HUNT", yelling "YOU BASTARD!!!" as his blade connects. Oz's face twists in rage: "I KEEP ON TELLING YOU IT WON'T WORK." The final panel shows the swordsman's intense glare and the word "...!!!"

A massive explosion erupts as the giant zombie Oz reels from a powerful strike, debris and smoke filling the air with impact lines and Japanese SFX "ゴメーン!!!". In the chaos, a voice yells, "HEY!! OVER HERE, OZ!!!" A close-up shows a wide-eyed figure shouting, "ZOROO!!!" Oz's massive form twists violently in the next panel as another huge impact lands, marked by "ドゴォン!!!" and "!!" Oz grimaces in pain while being driven back.

Oz clutches his jaw, muttering "...SOMETHING WENT IN MY MOUTH..." while looking confused. Below, the ruined plaza shows smoke as voices call out "Biyon... biyon..." and "W... WE DID IT!!!" Usopp stares in shock asking "WHAT WAS THAT JUST NOW...I USOPP...!I" while nearby a long-nosed zombie pants "ZEH... HAA... HAA..." Nami's eyes widen as she realizes, "LOOK!! OZ IS DONE FOR!!! LUFFY'S SHADOW IS COMING OUT!!!" A skull-faced zombie groans "OH..." and another panel reveals "OH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW... SALT IS THE ZOMBIES' WEAKNESS!!" Usopp cheers triumphantly, "W... WE GOT HIM TO EAT THE SALT!!!"

Oz's mouth bursts open as a ball of salt flies in, labeled "SALT", with the giant reacting "!!I" and "HMI" A voice commands "GET PURIFIED, YOU MONSTER ZOMBIE!!!" Inside Oz, a tiny figure shouts "KISHISHISHI!! I WAS PROTECTING HIS BODY FROM INSIDE, YOU MORON." The shadow of Luffy's form begins to emerge from Oz's mouth. Usopp yells "YOU DROPPED THIS, LONG-NOSE!!!" while hurling something, and the zombie cries "BUHEH!!!" as the salt takes effect.

Oz thrashes in agony, roaring "DAMMIT!! DAMMIT!!! THAT BASTARD!!" and "UWAH!! THE SALT!!! THE LAST OF THE SALT THAT BROOK COLLECTED!!!" while a small figure nearby exclaims "BLEH!!" The shadow inside mocks, "KISHISHISHI-!! YOU LOOKED SO HAPPY FOR A SECOND THERE." A determined voice retorts, "DID YOU THINK I WOULDN'T BE PREPARED, KNOWING THAT ZOMBIES HAVE THAT WEAKNESS!I" Oz's massive foot comes down with a "ゴォン" and onomatopoeia "STAMP" as the shadow is crushed, the figure yelling "WHAT A FOOL...!!!"

A massive impact rocks the battlefield as a huge stitched arm slams down, crushing rubble and sending debris flying. "ドゴォン!!!" A voice screams "UWAAH!!!" amid the explosion. Nami stares in horror, sweat flying, and shouts "USOPP!!!" as she sees the attack land. In the next panel Usopp is smashed into the ground with a pained "AH!!" and impact stars. The giant monster looms over the destruction, roaring with a stitched face and wild eyes while yelling "KISHISHI-SHISHI!! CRUSH HIM INTO DUST!!" Multiple voices cry out "STOP!!! STOP IT!!!" and "KEEP ON STOMPING!!!" as the foot continues pounding the rubble.

The giant monster continues its rampage, glaring with a stitched face and open maw. "THAT WOMAN, TOO!!!" it snarls. Nami grits her teeth in pain. The beast roars "IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE GUYS ON THE GROUND ARE STILL BREATHING!! I DON'T WANT TO BE ABLE TO TELL THEY'RE HUMAN WHEN YOU'RE DONE!!! CRUSH THEM, CRUSH THEM, CRUSH THEM ALL!!! KISHISHISHISHI!!!" Massive stomps create "ドズゥン" and "ドゥゥゥン!!ガチャン!! ボン!!" effects while Nami screams "KYAAH!!!" Below, a close-up of the monster's face shows it reacting to a voice asking "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO STEP ONI" Someone yells "HEY!!! GIANT GUY!!!"

The giant monster looks down in confusion. "THERE'S NOBODY UNDER YOUR FEET!!!" a voice declares. "WHO'RE YOUI" it asks. A powerful figure lands dramatically in the center: a muscular man with spiky black hair, open shirt, sword on his back, and a serious glare. Voices shout "LUFFY!!!" and "MONKEY D.!!!" The man replies "I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT THAT WAS CLOSE... WE'RE SAVED..." Below, the monster's face twists in shock while Nami stares wide-eyed, gasping "LUFFY!!I HUH...!I LU..."

The monster questions the newcomer: "DID HE HAVE THE POWER TO TRANSFORM, TOOI OR COULD IT BE... YOU DO RESEMBLE LUFFY, BUT... IS THAT REALLY YOUI" The spiky-haired man answers "IT'S REALLY ME!! YEAH, THE WAY HE TALKS...!!!" while the monster wonders "WH... WHERE!!!I" The giant zombie charges with "GURURURU!!" and "ビュゥ!!!" declaring "HMPH!! I DON'T CARE!! DESTROY HIM!!" and "OF COURSE!! GOMU GOMU-" The real Luffy counters with "RIFLE!!!" unleashing a stretching punch "ギャアッ!! グォォ!!!" as bystanders note "THIS IS DANGEROUS!... PLUS, HIS BODY CAN STRETCH LIKE RUBBER, SO HE CAN USE YOUR ATTACKS, TOO!!"

A massive fist slams forward with crushing force, sending shockwaves and debris flying as a distant figure with a sword is hurled back. Smaller panels capture shocked reactions: wide eyes, gritted teeth, and a long-nosed face staring in disbelief. The impact lands with a resounding "ドンッ!!" and "ピタリ...!!" as the attacker declares dominance. In a close-up, a dark-skinned figure with a fierce glare points directly forward and shouts, "I'M THE ONLY" followed by "LUFFY THERE IS!!!" Nearby, another character reels from the blow, screaming "UWAAAA AHH!!!" while impact lines and motion effects fill the frame. Background figures watch the chaos unfold on the ruined platform.

A colossal stitched giant, Oz, looms over the battlefield, its massive body dominating the page as it crashes through stone walls. Onlookers in the distance debate the falling object: "MAYBE IT'S A RAIN CLOUD OR SOMETHINGI" "WHAT THE HECK IS THATI" "HEY, SOMETHING'S FLYING THIS WAY." "OR A HUGE BIRDI" The giant roars with a guttural "ゴオオオ..." as terrified spectators scream "EHHHHH!!!I" and "IT'S OZ!!!" Luffy is seen tumbling through the air amid the destruction, while the giant's stitched limbs and horns fill the foreground with debris and dust clouds.

Oz unleashes a devastating strike with a massive "ギャグォーン!!!" as it roars "RYAAAAAAAHH!!!" The giant's fist sends shockwaves and bodies flying, with "ドズウゥゥ...ン!!" marking the impact. Luffy is hurled violently through the air amid explosions of dust and debris, accompanied by cries of "EEEHHH!I" and "UWAAAAHH!!!" Scattered panels show Nami's horrified face, Sanji's intense glare, and other Straw Hats reacting with "STAN!" "GOH!!!" "OOF!!" "WHAT'S GOING ON!!!I" Additional shouts fill the air: "OOOAA AGH..." "OOOHH....!" "AH" "NUUUUU!!!" "OOH..." The chaos engulfs the ruined plaza as the giant continues its rampage.
