Chapter 368, "Sea Train Battle Game." In the cover story, "The Name of Miss Goldenweek's Strategy: 'Meet Baroque' Volume 8: 'Dropping in on Vacation Island,'" Miss Goldenweek arrives above an island under a parasol-like glider while a distant impact erupts below.

Sogeking makes his grand entrance with a full song: "Born on Sharp~~ Shooter Island~~, 100 shots, 100 hits, lululu lalalu~~." He sings, "Even a mouse's eye, lock on!! Even your heart, lock on!! The man~~ that came~~ from Sharp~~ Shooter Island." The Puffing Tom races through the storm while his voice trails behind: "Sogege soge soge soge--king~~." Sanji and Franky stare at him in disbelief. "What the hell is he doing?" one asks, while another says, "Eh, don't hurt his feelings." Sanji calls him over and says, "Okay!! Now we carry out our strategy to rescue Robin!!!"

Sanji lays out the situation with the sea train. "First off, where you guys were is the sixth car. There are five more cars to go!! Robin could be in any of them." Sogeking interrupts with, "Don't you guys have any questions for me or something? Since this is our first meeting... like: 'Where's this Sharp-Shooter Island?'" Franky answers that Robin is in Sogeking's heart. Sanji continues: "Lastly, if we can rescue Robin, we win. There are lots of enemies." Franky insists, "I'm super strong, jackass! I've been especially strong this week!!!" Sanji does not want a careless brawl: in the narrow train, being surrounded would be dangerous, so the plan is to avoid pointless fights and take out the main force in order. Sogeking says, "I'm listening..."

On Rocket Man, Nami changes into battle-ready clothes and says, "Okay! Ready for battle!!" The others immediately react to her outfit. Someone says, "You changed in here without a moment's thought!! You scandalous woman!" and another adds, "Nice scandal..." Nami asks, "What's wrong?" and scolds the square-headed men too: "You too, squares!! You're what's wrong with society!!! Cover up your stomach!! Your stomach and your legs!!!" They answer, "It couldn't be helped, you know, since we only have one car." Another tells her, "It would be helpful if you helped, you know, since we only have one car." The absurd argument happens while the train continues toward Enies Lobby through the storm.

Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, and Nami settle into Rocket Man's cramped car. Luffy complains, "Man, these black pants. I wish their pockets were bigger. My lunch won't fit." Zoro asks, "Did you change weapons, Nami?" Nami proudly shows her staff: "Nope, after returning from Sky Island, Usopp strengthened it using dials. The perfect 'Clima Tact'!!!" Zoro says, "I see, Usopp..." Chopper explains the joke with exaggerated seriousness: "It's his post-humorous work..." Nami and Zoro glare at him, and Nami shouts, "Don't act so solemn!!!"

On the Puffing Tom, CP9 considers the intrusion. A report says, "Intruders, you say?" and another voice confirms, "Y... yes, that seems to be the case." Because "en route boarding" is impossible on the Puffing Tom, they reason that the intruders must have come aboard before departure. Lucci concludes, "They must've come aboard before we left." Hattori coos while one agent says, "I agree sir... they have no honor!" CP9 notes that both criminals and intruders are certainly still riding the sea train, and orders are given: "Calm down and search for them."

In car 7, the caboose, Marines search the confined area and wonder where anyone could hide. They knock on a door and hear the answer from inside. The door bursts open and Sanji, Franky, and Sogeking appear with a casual "Good evening!!" The Marines panic: "That's where they were--!!!" and "We've discovered three suspicious people, including the criminals!!!" Orders fly: "On the other side of the door!!!" and "They were in the seventh car--?!! Corner and capture them--!!!" Sanji irritably mutters, "Your hammering skill sucks," while someone tells him to hurry and seal the door.

The Marines on the train realize the criminals have been found in the caboose and start firing wildly. Outside, the Puffing Tom pounds through the waves while someone shouts, "The criminals have been discovered in the caboose!!!" Another warns, "There's nowhere to run!!! Seize them, but use caution!!" and "Capture them without killing Franky!!!" Inside the car, panic makes the soldiers reckless: "Don't fire randomly!!! It'll be bad if you kill them!!!" "Shit!! The door won't open!!" and "All hands fortify those in the last car!!" T-Bone moves forward and says, "Move aside please!! I hate foul play!! Right angle flash!!"

Captain T-Bone attacks with "Bone Air Slash!!!" The cutting blast tears through the train door and slices open the path toward the caboose. The Marines prepare to rush in, but Sanji and the others have already set the trap. Outside, the last car rocks wildly in the waves. As the soldiers look through the shattered opening, they realize too late that the targets have vanished. Voices cry, "!? They're gone!" and "!!?" The caboose has become a decoy and a trap for the pursuers.

The Marines spot the intruders on the roof: "The enemy's in the caboose!!" then "On the roof...!!" T-Bone tries to reach them and shouts, "It can't be!!!" while the men below panic, "Everyone, return to the previous cars!!! This is a trap!!!" T-Bone hurries over the roof, but the trap has already been sprung. The connection is ready to go, and the caboose is about to be separated from the rest of the train, cutting away a large number of enemies at once.

The door slams shut behind the Marines. They shout, "What the--!? Even if we should go back...!! The door's been shut!!! Who did that?!" Outside, the caboose is detached, and the train pulls away from the trapped car. Voices scream, "The car's been detached~~~!!!" "AHH~~~~!!!" and "What~~~!?" T-Bone stands helplessly as he realizes it is too late. The car drifts away in the storm with the stranded soldiers while the Puffing Tom continues forward.

Sanji, Franky, and Sogeking leave the detached caboose behind. The trapped men shout, "Goddammit--!!! It's them--!!!" while Sanji calls back, "See ya later, guys!!" Sogeking adds, "Beware the would-be Pirate King!! Have a good trip!!" and Franky tells them, "Take care--!!" Far behind, the caboose shrinks in the waves. Sanji counts the result: "With those two cars, I'm guessing... we've reduced their numbers by 50." He then reminds the others that the Straw Hats are still ahead on the same railroad track, and Franky says, "Well... they'll manage somehow."

The trio moves deeper into the train, but the next defenders are ready. A Marine snarls, "You... you assholes!!! I'll blow the door right off--!!!" Sanji calmly kicks the door open from the other side and asks, "Ah, you wanted out?" Then he drops down and says, "Try not to die, there's five cars left." More soldiers arrive, shouting, "You!! You guys think it's already over?!!" and "Hey, we're reporting you to the CP9!!" Sanji answers that there are still soldiers left, and the fight continues.

Sanji and Sogeking cut through the next group with brutal speed. Sanji launches "Frite" and "Assortie!!!" while Sogeking fires "Sogeki Gunpowder Star!!!" Explosions and kicks tear through the car: "BABOOM!" "BUH!!!" Franky joins the charge, and the three move in sync. When an enemy tries to stand against them, they hit together with a shouted "Right!!!" and overwhelm the resistance before it can organize.

The remaining soldiers open fire. "Fire!!!" someone orders, and heavy shells blast toward Franky. The shots smash into his body and everyone freezes: "Eh?" "!?" Franky is hit full in the chest but barely reacts. A Marine cries, "He's hit!!" while Sanji and Sogeking stare in shock. Franky only says, "That hurt..." and keeps standing, metal clinking beneath his skin. The attackers have just discovered that ordinary gunfire is not enough to stop him.

The Marines keep shooting and panic when the bullets fail: "WAAAAAAA! Why aren't our pistols working!!?" Franky tosses one aside and introduces himself plainly. Sanji demands, "Oi, what the hell are you?!" Franky answers, "Huh? Oh, I'm a 'cyborg.'" Sanji and Sogeking react, "A cyborg!!?" Franky explains, "My body is built with steel and weapons. It stings a bit if I'm shot, and I may bleed a little but... well, it won't hurt me." The world is stranger than Sanji expected.

Sanji stares at Franky and says, "Such a thing exists... The world is truly vast." Sogeking pokes Franky and marvels, "Wow!!" Franky snaps, "Eyow!!! What are ya doin', ya moron?!" He complains that he rebuilt himself after an accident, but his back is still vulnerable: "What I said before doesn't apply to my backside!!! My hands couldn't reach back there!! Only the front side of me is 'cyborg'!!" Then he adds, "Now, while I'm at it I'll teach you one more thing. My stomach is sensitive to 'cold.'" Sanji cuts him off: "This isn't the time for chat, guys! There aren't any enemies left in this car, you're done, let's move on!!" The next stop is the fourth car.

In the fourth car, the kitchen, CP7's melee fighting expert cook appears with a wild grin. "Hallo guys!!" he cries. "I'm Wanze... I'm the mad, mad Wanze--!!!" He declares, "I'm Wanze!! Since I'm the head waiter, I can make anything. Are you hungry!? You want some ramen!?" Sanji, Franky, and Sogeking stare at him as he wheels out food and claims, "Then, ramen you shall have! But before that, I've got one bit of trivia I want you all to know..." The fight is about to become strange.

Wanze reveals the grotesque secret of his ramen. He says, "It's my nose hairs!! It's like... they're woven together... they're like fishnet stockings." He kneads flour in his mouth: "Right, first, I put wheat flour in my mouth. Then I knead it well!!!" Noodles slide out as he says, "Welp, dig in!" Sanji recoils, "What the hell are you?!" but Wanze laughs and blocks the way. When Sanji says, "There's no time for this... Wanze, we're keeping someone waiting. We're in a hurry, so... see ya," Wanze refuses: "If you want to go through this car...!!! You'll have to get through me!!!"
