In the ancient ruins of Upper Yard, Chopper looks around in confusion, holding a stick. He wonders, "WHERE DID HE DISAPPEAR TO!!?" Suddenly, a loud "DON" sound effect echoes as a tall figure appears right behind him. Chopper turns around and jumps back in shock, yelling, "HUH!?" and "AH!!" The figure is Gedatsu, standing completely still with his arms at his sides. Chopper stares at him, terrified, screaming, "FREAKY--!!" He notices Gedatsu's face; the man's eyes are completely rolled back, showing only the whites. Chopper thinks to himself in panic, "HIS EYES ARE ALL WHITE!!" and wonders, "DOES HE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TURN INVISIBLE...!?"

Chopper, still panicked, yells at the strange man, "WAIT, HE SAID ENEMY... ARE YOU A PRIEST!!?" Gedatsu stands motionless, his eyes still rolled back. A voice from off-screen, belonging to one of his subordinates, frantically yells, "GEDATSU-SAMA!! YOUR EYES ARE NOT FACING FORWARD AGAIN! THE ENEMY IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU!!" Chopper sweats, thinking, "IS THIS GUY AN IDIOT!?" Gedatsu thinks to himself, "THAT'S RIGHT! HESO! I AM AERO LIEUTENANT GEDATSU!" The subordinate yells again, "GEDATSU-SAMA!! SAY IT OUT LOUD, NOT IN YOUR HEAD!!" Finally, Gedatsu speaks aloud, declaring, "I AM ONE OF ENEL'S ALMIGHTY PRIESTS!" Chopper looks on, confused, uttering, "...?" Gedatsu then thrusts his hand forward, palm open, and warns, "HUNH! WATCH YOUR FEET!!! YOU ARE IN MY TERRITORY!!" He continues, "I'VE ALREADY PLANTED THE SWAMP CLOUD TRAPS!! ONCE YOU ARE TRAPPED IN THEM, YOU CAN'T GET OUT!!" Chopper looks down in horror, realizing the danger. "THIS IS THE TRIAL WITH A 50% SURVIVAL RATE... SWAMP CLOUD!?"

Gedatsu stands with his hand outstretched, but he is the one sinking deep into a patch of Swamp Cloud on the ground. Chopper points at him and yells, "BUT YOU ARE THE ONE SINKING--!!!" Gedatsu suddenly realizes his predicament, looking shocked as he sinks further. In the next moment, Gedatsu shoots straight up into the air, propelled by powerful jets of cloud emitting from his shoes. He shouts, "CLOUD DIAL, TAKE FLIGHT!!" Chopper looks up in utter surprise, exclaiming, "!!?" High above, Gedatsu glares down menacingly, his eyes now focused. He declares, "FOOL. I AM IMMUNE TO THIS SWAMP!!"

Gedatsu continues to ascend high into the sky, leaving a trail of smoke from his shoes. Chopper watches from the ground, amazed by the display. "WOW!!" he exclaims, "THAT'S AMAZING!! HE FLEW INTO THE AIR BY USING SOMETHING IN HIS SHOES!!" Chopper then notices something and says, "OH?" High above, Gedatsu hovers in the air, looking down at Chopper. He states coldly, "I HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE... WITH A RACCOON!!!"

From his elevated position, Gedatsu throws a large, fluffy mass from his hand, shouting, "SWAMP CLOUD BURGER!!!" Chopper looks up in shock, yelling, "HE'S SHOOTING SOMETHING FROM HIS HANDS, TOO!!" Gedatsu explains his attack: "THOUGH LIGHT AS A CLOUD, IT'S ACTUALLY A SMALL SWAMP!! ONCE YOU TOUCH IT, THERE IS NO WAY OUT!!" Suddenly, a subordinate on the ground realizes the cloud is heading straight for him. He screams, "GEDATSU-SAMA!!! I'M NOT THE ENEMY!!" Gedatsu realizes his mistake, his face freezing in a silent ".........!!!" The Swamp Cloud lands directly on the subordinate, engulfing him completely as he cries out, "MEEEH--!!!" Chopper watches the scene unfold in disbelief.

The subordinate struggles desperately inside the Swamp Cloud, making muffled sounds: ".........!!" ".........!!" Chopper watches in horror and yells, "EH...!! HE CAN'T TAKE IT OFF... HIS HANDS JUST GO INTO THE SWAMP...!!!" The subordinate flails around, unable to free himself, and eventually falls over, completely trapped and suffocating, letting out a weak "WAH..." Chopper stares at the motionless cloud, terrified. Gedatsu, still hovering above, says coldly, "THE MORE YOU STRUGGLE, THE DEEPER YOU TRAP YOURSELF." He then swoops down towards Chopper, preparing to throw another cloud. "THERE YOU ARE!! SWAMP CLOUD BURGER!!" Chopper panics, exclaiming, "!!"

Chopper runs for his life as the Swamp Cloud crashes into the ground right behind him, creating a large impact. He screams, "WAAAH!! SO SCARY!!! IF I GET HIT, I'LL DIE FOR SURE!!!" Meanwhile, the trapped subordinate is still suffocating, gasping "GUH!!!" and "SHBO!" Chopper rushes over to him, grabbing the cloud and pulling with all his might. "HEY!! YOU OKAY!!? HANG IN THERE!!" He manages to pull the subordinate's head free. "BREATHE!!!" Chopper yells, "BEHO!!!" The subordinate gasps for air, panting heavily. "HAH... HAH... YOU SAVED MY LIFE...!! MEH..." Chopper smiles in relief, "GREAT! YOU'RE NOT DEAD!!" Suddenly, the subordinate points in terror, "AH!! HE'S HERE!!" Gedatsu lands nearby, towering over them. He looks down and mocks, "HOW PATHETIC, REQUIRING AID FROM THE ENEMY!!" Chopper looks up, shocked.

The subordinate stands up, furious at Gedatsu's betrayal. "SUCH HARSH WORDS AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME...!! I WON'T SERVE YOU ANYMORE!!!" Chopper cheers him on, "YEAH!! LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER!!!" The subordinate charges at Gedatsu, raising a weapon. "DIE BY MY AXE DIAL!! MEH--!!" Gedatsu remains completely calm. He pulls his right arm back, muttering, "...WHATEVER... JET..." With incredible speed and force, Gedatsu delivers a devastating blow. "PUNCH!!!" The punch strikes the subordinate squarely, sending him flying backward with immense power, blood spurting from his mouth as he is instantly defeated.

Gedatsu stands with his right arm extended, smoke hissing from his elbow where his sleeve has been torn away by the force of the attack. Chopper watches in stunned silence, "...!!?" Gedatsu explains his power: "THIS IS THE EXTINCT JET DIAL!! IT GREATLY INCREASES THE SPEED AND POWER OF MY PUNCH. TOO BAD IT DESTROYS THE SUIT." Chopper looks at the unconscious subordinate lying in the rubble. He realizes the overwhelming threat, thinking, "THIS IS THE POWER OF... A PRIEST...!!! IF I DON'T RUN AWAY... I'LL DIE!!!"

Chopper turns and flees in a panic, thinking, "HE SET THOSE SWAMP CLOUD TRAPS EVERYWHERE... I CAN ONLY GO BACK INTO THE FOREST..." He yells, "GYAH!!!" as Gedatsu flies after him, flapping his arms to propel himself. Gedatsu pulls his arm back again, preparing another attack. "JET..." Chopper quickly consumes a Rumble Ball. "RUMBLE!!!" Gedatsu unleashes his strike. "PUNCH!!!" Just as the punch hits the ground, causing a massive explosion of debris, Chopper transforms and leaps high into the air, shouting, "JUMPING POINT!!" to evade the devastating blow.

Gedatsu flies up after Chopper, stating, "THAT'S USELESS." Chopper looks down in alarm, "AH!!!" Gedatsu throws another cloud attack, "SWAMP CLOUD BURGER!!!" Chopper quickly transforms, shouting, "HEAVY POINT!" and punches the cloud away before it can trap him. However, Gedatsu immediately follows up with a rapid strike, yelling, "JET HIGH PUNCH!!!" Chopper reacts instantly, transforming into a large, fluffy ball. "GUARD POINT!!!" The punch connects, sending Chopper flying backward through the air, but the thick fur absorbs the impact. Chopper cries out, "WAAAH!! THAT AGAIN!!"

Chopper lands and transforms into his small Brain Point form. He knows he needs a strategy. "I MUST FIND SOMETHING!!!" he thinks. "WEAK POINT!! WHERE IS HIS WEAK POINT!!?" He brings his hooves together to form a targeting reticle. "SCOPE!!" He scans Gedatsu, who is flying rapidly towards him. Gedatsu pulls his arm back, preparing another devastating blow. "JET..." Chopper panics as Gedatsu closes the distance. "!!!" Gedatsu unleashes the attack. "PUNCH!!!"

A massive explosion of dust and debris erupts as Gedatsu's punch obliterates the ground. Chopper barely manages to dodge, tumbling away from the blast zone. "...!!" He struggles to stand, panting heavily and looking exhausted. "...NOT GOOD... MY EYESIGHT IS GETTING BLURRY... MY LEGS ARE... WALK..." He looks up at Gedatsu, who is standing amidst the ruins. Chopper thinks, "I'M LUCKY I WAS ALERT!" He focuses on Gedatsu's stance. "HIS FEET... I FOUND HIS WEAK POINT..."

14
Gedatsu stands tall, looking down at Chopper. Chopper glares back, his resolve hardening. "...NO...!! NEVER MIND RUNNING...!!" He declares to himself, "I WILL BEAT THIS GUY!!!" Gedatsu throws another attack, shouting, "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? SWAMP CLOUD BURGER!!" Chopper dodges the cloud, yelling, "AHH!!!" As he moves, Chopper reflects on his past. "BECAUSE I ALWAYS RUN AWAY, EVERYONE ALWAYS HAS TO PROTECT ME. THAT'S WHY NO ONE... RELIES ON ME!!" He charges forward with newfound determination. "I WILL START MY LIFE AS A PIRATE HERE AND NOW!"

Chopper leaps high into the air, transforming. "JUMPING POINT!!!" Gedatsu looks up, annoyed. "WILL YOU GIVE IT UP ALREADY...!?" Gedatsu uses his shoes to fly up and meet Chopper in the air. "THE SKY IS MY TERRITORY TOO! DON'T YOU GET IT YET!!? COME!!" Suddenly, Gedatsu realizes something is wrong. "HUM??" He looks down in shock. "I LOST A SHOE!!!" Chopper, mid-air, thinks, "DID HE TAKE IT OFF EARLIER...!?" Without his shoe, Gedatsu loses his balance and begins to fall, flailing wildly. "!!?"

Chopper transforms into his muscular Arm Point form. "ARM POINT!!!" He thinks, "THAT WAS CLOSE!!!" as he prepares his attack. "THE CUTTING HOOF... I'M STILL ALIVE!!!" Gedatsu, falling and enraged, yells, "GR...!! DID I LOSE MY CALM AND MESS UP MY MANTRA!!?" He prepares to strike back, shouting, "ONLY THE WEAK RAISES HIS VOICE!! JET PUNCH!!!" Chopper roars with all his might, "I'M A MONSTER!!! AND I'M STRONG!!! DAMNED RACCOON!!!"

In a massive, explosive impact, Chopper delivers a devastating blow to Gedatsu. "CROSS!!!" Chopper, in his powerful Arm Point form, strikes Gedatsu squarely in the chest/face with his crossed hooves. The force of the attack is immense, sending shockwaves and debris flying. Gedatsu's eyes widen in pure shock and pain as blood spurts from the impact. He is sent hurtling backward with incredible speed, completely overwhelmed by Chopper's monstrous strength.
