I KNEW

In a jungle clearing, a woman in a helmet and dark coat laughs triumphantly while gripping a struggling man by the collar. She shouts, "KYAHAHAHA! BE STILL!" and taunts, "DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE LIKES OF YOU COULD SERIOUSLY ESCAPE FROM BW'S GRASPI" The captured man grimaces in pain, yelling "AGHH!" as large Japanese SFX "ギュッ...!!" emphasize the tight hold. Below, three rapid panels show chaos: a top-hatted figure with goggles tumbles violently with "どんっ!!" impact sounds, a gas-masked person crashes down with more "どんっ!!" effects, and a sweating blond man with an earring stares intensely to the side. The bottom panel focuses on a reaching hand amid heavy motion lines and debris as the fight continues.

Under the massive roots of a giant tree, a tall man in a long black coat marked with a 5 stands facing a blonde woman in a revealing outfit who holds a massive weapon. She laughs triumphantly, "KYAHAHAHA! EVEN A PIRATE WORTH 30 MILLION BELI, IS OF NO MATCH FOR US... KYAHAHAHA!" The man adds, "FUFU... I'M GLAD I WAS ABLE TO REPAY YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID AT WHISKEY PEAK." Nearby, Luffy lies beaten on the ground with smoke rising from debris. In the next panel the man in the coat declares, "WE'VE ALREADY CAPTURED YOUR SWORDSMAN FRIEND AND THE GIRL AS WELL...! A WANNABE PIRATE LIKE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE STUCK YOUR NOSE IN OUR DELICATE AFFAIRS." Close-up, Mr. 5 smirks while adjusting his sunglasses, "EVEN AFTER I DISHED OUT ALL THOSE 'KICK BOMBS' OF MINE TO YOUR FACE..." Luffy, face bruised and furious, glares up and retorts, "OHI SO YOU CAN STILL TALK, CAN YOUI YOU GOT ZOROI THEN YOU'LL BE CUT DOWN FOR SURE."

Luffy suddenly spits a huge glob of saliva that strikes Mr. 5 square in the face with a loud "SPIT!" Luffy shouts defiantly, "BLEH! GO TO HELL!" Mr. 5 stands frozen in shock, a large sweat drop forming as he processes the insult. Beside him, a smiling girl in a cap and headphones remarks, "HOW REVOLTING..." In the final massive panel, Mr. 5 is sent flying backward in an enormous explosion of impact lines and debris, his body twisting violently from the force of Luffy's counterattack.

A massive explosion erupts across the grassy field, sending smoke, debris, and shockwaves outward with thunderous sound effects "ドゴォン!! ドゴォン!! ズドォォン!!". In a small inset panel, Nami stares in horror and shouts "LUFFY!". A close-up reveals a furious face with sharp teeth and a scar, yelling "DIE ALREADY!". The wide battlefield shows distant figures amid lingering smoke and the fading roar "ゴォォォ...ォ". In the lower section, a tall man in a long coat stands over the fallen Usopp and declares "FOOL...", while Usopp lies sprawled with a pained "GROAN...!!" reaction. A tiny panel shows a small figure emitting "オォォ..." as the dust settles.

Mr. 5 stands confidently and says "LET'S GO, MISS VALENTINE." while Miss Valentine laughs "KYAHA-HAHAHA!" nearby; Nami cries out "LUFFY...!". The next panel shows Usopp collapsed on the ground calling "CARUE..." as a small duck-like figure lies motionless in the distance amid swirling smoke and impact lines "オォォォォォォ". A large close-up focuses on Usopp's prone form with heavy sound effects "オォォォ...". In the final panel Nami sweats nervously, her face tense with worry as she watches the scene unfold.

Massive impact SFX "ギャーン!! ギャーン...!!" explode across the jungle canopy above a towering skull-shaped rock formation. A colossal black-and-white wax mass crashes down, engulfing a giant figure whose face is partially visible inside the hardening shell. "WHY YOU..." a voice cries out. "FUHAHA-HAHA!" laughs an unseen speaker. In the foreground, Mr. 3 stands with a dripping hand, his candle-jacket wax already solidifying. "MY "CANDLE JACKET" IS AS HARD AS IRON ONCE IT HARDENS," he declares with a wicked grin, taunting "GIVE IT UP, GIVE IT UP!" as the wax drips "DRIP" from his fingers.

Mr. 3 proudly displays a small wax sculpture of Brogy's head, the giant's face frozen in a grimace. "BROGY THE RED OGRE...! EVEN THE MONSTROUS STRENGTH OF YOU GIANTS, IS USELESS ONCE YOU'VE BEEN CAUGHT IN MY WAX, YOU SEE!" he boasts as SFX "ゴォォォ ゴンゴン グシャ" mark the crushing of the wax model. Nearby, a woman in a striped dress pleads "PLEASE DON'T GLARE AT ME LIKE THAT, IT'S FRIGHTENINGLY UNBEARABLE, YOU KNOW!" while laughing "FUHAHA-HAHA!". Mr. 3 leans in with a wide smile: "EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PARTIALLY DUE TO THE HELP OF A WRONGP HUMAN, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY ABOUT YOUR VICTORY! ISN'T THIS SWELL...! IF YOU WERE FINALLY ABLE TO SETTLE YOUR DUEL."

A massive barrel-helmeted figure laughs triumphantly in the darkness: "FUHAHAHAHA! OF COURSE, AS THE LAST MAN STANDING, I AM THE TRUE VICTOR!" with the sound effect "ゴッオオオオ...". A close-up shows the helmeted man's shocked face as he stammers, "YOU CAN'T... POSSIBLY MEAN...". The scene shifts to a tropical island with ancient ruins and palm trees. The helmeted man shouts, "YOU WRETCHED SCUM...!" while another voice continues, "IS STILL VALID EVEN TO THIS DAY... AND THAT ENORMOUS SUM OF BOUNTY MONEY, I WONDER IF YOU'RE AWARE...I THE TWO OF YOU WERE ONCE WANTED MEN,". In the foreground, a woman in a striped outfit glares angrily and declares, "THE ONE WHO BETRAYED OUR ORGANIZATION." Beside her stands a man with an afro. A voice states, "WE'VE BROUGHT ALONG,". The panel focuses on a man with glasses who reacts with "HMI" as another character accuses, "SO THAT WAS YOUR AIM ALL ALONG, MR. 3...!" with impact effects "よっ" and "クッ".

The helmeted man reacts in shock: "THE RUM I... GAVE TO HIM...!I BARREL OF RUM...!I". In the ruined plaza, the striped woman yells furiously, "HOW DARE YOU PLACE A BOMB IN MR. DORRY'S BARREL OF RUM...! WHAT A DESPICABLE THING TO DO!" with impact lines. A flashback panel shows Dorry drinking as a voice recalls, "'COURSE! IT TASTED OF GOD!" while another laughs, "GABABABABA! DORRY! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS OF DRINKING ONLY WATER, THE RUM MUST'VE TASTED ESPECIALLY FINE, RIGHT!I". Back in the present, the afro-haired man faces the striped woman and shouts, "IMPUDENT GIRL! HMPH! YOU SAID YOU COULD DISCLOSE MY TRICK!". The helmeted man sweats heavily in close-up, realizing, "SO THAT'S HOW... IT WAS... DORRY...".

A masked figure in a striped outfit leaps through the air as massive wax tendrils erupt upward. "CANDLE LOCK!" the attacker yells. The wax clamps violently around the figure's limbs with a loud "CLAMP!" and "AHH!" The victim struggles as the substance hardens. In a close-up, an eye narrows with determination. "IT'S TIME TO BEGIN," the voice declares. The next panel shows the striped figure now standing atop a wooden bridge in a jungle clearing, arms spread wide as wax swirls dramatically around them. "MR. 5! BRING THE SWORDSMAN AND THE GIRL OVER HERE!" they command. Below, the wax erupts again in a massive burst. "SERVICE SET!" the figure announces as a towering column of wax forms. "GIANT CANDLE..." the text reads as the structure begins to take shape.

A colossal wax structure towers into the sky, shaped like a grotesque smiling pumpkin face with dripping candle flames sprouting from its head. The massive form looms over the jungle, supported by a lattice-patterned wax pillar and multiple tiered platforms. At the base, several figures stand frozen in shock. "!!!!I" one exclaims. The entire creation radiates intense light and heat lines as it solidifies. Enormous sound effects "ドドドドドド!!" and "ゴォォォォォォォォ" shake the page, emphasizing the overwhelming scale of the giant candle.

In a jungle clearing, several figures lie sprawled and defeated on the ground as a tall cloaked man stands over them. "UGH!" "どっさっ!!!!" A massive multi-tiered cake structure suddenly erupts from the earth with a loud "どーん". "WHAT IS THAT THINGI" "WHA-" Nearby characters react with shock. Mr. 3 stands with arms dramatically outstretched, shouting "WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO MY "SERVICE SET"!" A voice questions "YOU...I" "HA..." In the background, the cloaked man addresses the fallen group: "IF YOU'RE WONDERING ABOUT STRAW-HAT, I'VE TAKEN CARE OF HIM." Vivi replies "YES, BUT..." while another voice calls out "VIVI! WEREN'T YOU WITH LUFFY!I"

A giant grinning candle figure spins atop the massive cake structure, wax dripping down as Mr. 3 stands below with arms crossed. "TO BE A CANDLE STUCK ON A CAKE..." "THIS MUST BE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE." "HUHI WHAT'S THAT THING SPINNING ABOVE USI" The group is now trapped as wax hardens around them. Nami cries out "SOMETHING'S DRIZZLING DOWN!" Sanji notes "OUR ENEMIES AREN'T JUST GOING TO LET US FREELY MOVE AROUND." "WELL, DUH." Nami adds "MY FOOT'S STUCK..." while another voice says "WE CAN'T EVEN MOVE EITHER..." with sound effects "ぐるぐる" and "ドキ..."

Mr. 3 looms with a manic grin as wax mist drifts down. "THAT MIST OF WAX SPRINKLING DOWN ON YOUR HEADS WILL EVENTUALLY TURN YOU ALL INTO WAX-FIGURES!" he declares. "FUHAHA-HAHA! YES, HAVE A GOOD TASTE OF MY CANDLE SERVICE!" A massive wax structure rises behind him with three figures trapped inside. "SO GIVE UP YOUR LIVES FOR THE SAKE OF TRUE BEAUTY! YOU'LL BE WAX-DOLLS WITH TRUE SOULS! A PERFECT WAX-HUMAN THE LIKES OF WHICH EVEN MY ARTISTIC SKILLS CAN'T CREATE!" he boasts as "ギチーン!" rings out. Below, Brogy lies injured while Dorry stands over him. "YOU'RE GOING TO BE TURNED INTO A WAX-FIGURE TOO, YOU KNOW!I" someone shouts. Brogy roars, "BROGY! DON'T JUST LIE STILL, DO SOMETHING!" A girl with pigtails screams in terror, "WHY DO WE HAVE TO BECOME YOUR ARTISTIC CREATIONS!I NO! NEVER!" A barrel labeled "RUM" sits nearby as the wax threat closes in.

Brogy cradles the wounded Dorry. "FOR HE ONLY HAD REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED A MOMENT AGO...! WITHOUT REALIZING HIS FRIEND WAS SHOULDERING INJURIES," the narration reads. Mr. 3 spreads his arms wide. "HMPH! IT'S FUTILE NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY TO HIM, YOU SEE...!" Dorry laughs bitterly on his feet. "WHAT A SIMPLETON YOU ARE...! OR WERE THOSE TEARS FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR FRIENDI HE KILLED THAT VERY FRIEND WHOM HE HAD BEEN DUELING WITH FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS! HE WAS SO OVERJOYED HE EVEN SHED TEARS OF JOY!" Mr. 3 mocks, "FUHAHAHA! WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S FAR TOO LATE FOR YOU TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, YOU IMBECILE!" The girl retorts, "FUHAHAHA! YOU SAY YOU KNEW!I HAHA, WHAT LIES YOU MAKE!" Dorry answers quietly, "HMMI THAT DORRY WAS HIDING SOMETHING FROM ME...!" A close-up shows a stern man with earrings as Dorry finishes, "I KNEW...! I KNEW FROM THE MOMENT I FIRST SWUNG MY BATTLE AXE," while asking, "YOUR VIOLENT BLOWS DIDN'T SEEM TO BEAR THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF COMPASSION OR PITY, I RECALL... IF SO, THEN WHY DID YOU NOT STOP FIGHTINGI"

In a jungle clearing dominated by a grand fountain, a furious voice roars, "WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW...! YOU DARE SUGGEST THAT I DISHONOUR A WARRIOR WHO FIGHTS WHILE HIDING THE PAIN HE BEARS...!I" Another retorts, "AS IF A DISHONOURABLE RUNT WHO DOESN'T EVEN COMPREHEND WHAT DUELS ARE COULD EVER UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR MY TEARS...!" A massive impact panel erupts with the anguished, tear-streaked face of a giant warrior, accompanied by the narration "TO A WARRIOR WHO GOES TO SUCH LENGTHS TO FIGHT!I" and "HOW COULD ONE SHOW PITY!" The giant clenches his massive hands, declaring, "AND BECAUSE I NOW KNOW, I SHALL SETTLE EVERYTHING WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS!" while a close-up shows his determined, sweat-streaked expression as he adds, "BUT NOW I KNOW WHAT EXACTLY HE WAS HIDING..."

Brogy charges forward with a thunderous roar, smashing through the terrain as massive SFX "ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ" and "ドゴゴゴゴン" explode around him. He bellows, "THAT IS HOW I SHALL PAY MY DUE RESPECTS TO MY DEAR FRIEND DORRY!" while distant cries of "AGH-", "UWAHHH!", "AHH!" and "CRACK!" ring out. A close-up of Brogy's helmeted face appears as he yells "BROGY!" amid cannon fire labeled "CANNON!" and heavy impact effects. In the final panel a sunglasses-wearing man with a scar on his face extends his hand and mutters, "WHAT AN ANNOYINGLY LOUD FREAK...!"

Luffy's face fills the frame, sweat flying as a massive impact sound erupts: どどんっ!! In the background, Usopp stands beside the duck, asking, "CAN YOU FORGIVE THEMI" Luffy snaps back with fierce determination, "ABSOLUTELY... NOT...!" A narrow panel shows the duck's wide-open beak shouting "QUACK!" Luffy turns with an annoyed glare, "...I ARE YOU... ANNOYED TOO...!I" The duck joins in as they begin digging furiously, the speech bubble reading "DIG DIG DIG!" In a dramatic close-up, Luffy's eyes blaze with resolve: "TO GO AND CRUSH THEM...!" Usopp answers from off-panel, "GOOD...! THEN IT'S TIME FOR THE THREE OF US TO GO!"
