Chapter 406: "SEIMEI KIKAN". A vibrant title illustration shows a small painter in a beret and mustache holding a brush and palette high, standing between a large woman in a frilly dress and crown who gestures excitedly and a tall woman in a patterned top and headscarf waving. The caption reads: THE NAME OF MISS GOLDENWEEK'S STRATEGY "MEET BAROQUE" VOL. 36: "TRANSFORM INTO 'PRINCESS,' 'PAINTER,' AND 'PAULA OF THE BAR.'"

Explosive impacts rock the stone bridge and towers as "ゴゴゴゴオオオオ..." rumbles. A small figure plummets into a dark crevice. Inside the narrow shaft, a spiky-haired fighter clings to the wall, sweat flying, as a tiny creature clings to his back. A voice calls "CHAPAPA-PAPA..." while another warns, "...NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO...I" and threatens, "HURRY UP AND BRING US TO SHORE!! THEN I CAN KNOCK YOU OUT." "POOF POOF" smoke puffs appear as massive impact lines and debris erupt below.

The spiky-haired fighter snarls, "YOU DON'T NEED TO TELL ME ANYTHING; I'LL SILENCE YOU RIGHT NOW!!" as a horned beast roars "HAA...!!!" and "OOWHO AAH!!" A spinning figure hurtles through the air with "POOF!!" while the beast yells "CHAPAPA-PAPAPA!" The fighter declares, "I'LL SMASH YOU INTO THE CORNER OF THE TOWER WITH THIS SPEED!!!" and unleashes "SUPER CART-WHEEL!! 'TEKKAIDAMA'!!!!" amid massive motion lines and shattering stone.

The spinning clash continues as voices shout "CHAPA!I" and "...!! I SEE..." while attacks land with "キキキ" and "FRAN-KYYYY". The fighter cries, "'CEN-TAU-ROS'!!" and realizes, "AT THIS RATE, I'LL BE SMASHED TO PIECES...!!!" The beast retorts, "SO WHATI EVEN IF YOU HOLD ME DOWN, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO AT THIS SPEED!!!" and "NOW YOU CAN'T MOVE FREELY IN THE SKY ANYMORE!! I'VE PINNED BOTH YOUR LEGS!" The fighter counters with "MINI 'COUP DE VENT'!!!!" and fires a "70MM 0.2 COLA CANNON" that ends with a "CLACK!!" and "NOT QUITE..."

High above the tower, the massive spinning structure grinds to a halt as a tiny figure plummets. "MY SPEED IS GONE!!" a voice cries. "MY ROTATION... HAS STOPPED!!! DAMN IT!!!!" Below, Franky is slammed by a brutal counterattack, his body twisting from the impact. "WHAT'RE YOU DOING, BASTARD!!I OBAE-BAH...! PBAH!" he roars as debris explodes around him. "COUP DE..." he begins, refusing to yield. "BUT THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH... WE'RE OVER THE SHORE NOW. TAKE THIS, 70MM 1.5 MAX COLA POWER!!!" Franky unleashes a massive blast from his arm, the air warping with the force. "VENT" "!!!" the weapon vents violently. "COUP DE... NGAH!! GIVE IT UP ALREADY, YOU PUNK...!!!" the opponent snarls amid the continuing barrage of strikes and shockwaves.

The colossal blast erupts outward in a blinding sphere of force, shattering stone and sending shockwaves through the tower. "オオオオオオ...!!" the explosion roars. Franky’s face twists in strain as he pours everything into the attack. "SU-PER~~~!!!" he bellows triumphantly. The tower wall disintegrates under the pressure, chunks of masonry and metal hurtling through the air as the massive "ドドドドン" impact echoes across the battlefield.

Deeper inside the collapsing structure, Zoro clashes violently with a masked CP9 agent. "GYAA-AAH!" the agent howls as Zoro’s strikes land. Rubble rains down amid the chaos. "IS THE NUMBER 2 KEY HERE YET!I" Zoro shouts while locked in combat. The agent lunges with a finger thrust. "SHI-GAN" "!!" Zoro dodges as the air itself is pierced. "WHAT-EVER!!!" he snaps back. In the background, a voice pleads desperately, "ZORO-KUN!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!! I'M TIRED. GIVE ME A PIGGY-BACK RIDE!!"

The CP9 agent presses the attack. "THAT'S A FALSE ACCUSATION, BUT IF YOU WANT, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO!! YOU'VE BEEN GETTING IN MY WAY FROM THE VERY BEGINNING...!!!" he yells while striking. "JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOINGI YOU JUST TRIED TO HIT ME, DIDN'T YOU!!I" Zoro retorts. The giraffe-like agent looms over him. "THERE'S A WAY FOR US TO GET THESE HAND-CUFFS OFF!! WE'LL DO ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, SOGEKING! TO EAT MEAT. I PREFER MEAT. THAT'S MY LINE!! YOU HERBIVORE!!" the agent declares. Zoro glares, sword ready. "WE'RE NOT STUFFED ANIMALS!!! DON'T BE SILLY!!! WE'LL PICK UP HIS HAND AND GO STRAIGHT TO CHOPPER, AND ASK HIM TO SEW IT BACK THE WAY IT USED TO BE. WHOEVER IS FREED FROM THE HANDCUFFS... HOW CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING SO SCARY WITH SUCH A STRAIGHT FACE!!I CUT ONE OF OUR HANDS OFF. JUST LISTEN FOR A MOMENT."

The long-haired man snaps, "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE!!!" while a voice replies, "I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA." A close-up shows the bearded man in a hat glaring with sweat drops, muttering "...". Below, a massive impact sends the elephant-like creature flying as someone exclaims, "THAT'S..." with motion lines and stars. In the large lower panel the long-haired man stands ready with his staff, shouting "READY, SOGEKINGI DON'T BREAK YOUR POSTURE!!!" The striped-shirt swordsman is grabbed and told "YOU'RE NOW A... 'SWORD'!!!" while a small reindeer-like figure cries, "CHOPPER~, PLEASE HURRY!!!" The swordsman protests, "GET ME A LAWYER. I'LL SURELY SUE YOU ONE DAY!!!" Dust and debris fly around the chaotic scene inside the damaged building.

The long-haired man stands amid rubble with hanging meat, declaring "I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY WITH SO LITTLE SELF-CONTROL!" A loud "BURP" escapes as someone yells "YOYOI!!" The bearded man in the hat retorts, "YOU GOT FAT IN THE FEW MINUTES THAT I DIDN'T SEE YOU!" The long-haired man counters, "SOMETHING THAT I NEED FROM YOOOU!!!" while sweating and shouting "I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT YOU AT ALL!! TALK NORMALLY ALREADY!!!" and "... AH, THOUGHTFULNESS... ISN'T!! ISN'T, ISN'T, ISN'T!!!" His body then undergoes rapid changes labeled "ABSORPTION!!!" and "DIGESTION!!!" with intense facial close-ups and SFX. He returns to normal, exclaiming "BACK TO NORMAL!!!" as the bearded man reacts, "EH!I HE GOT SKINNY!!!" The final panel shows the long-haired man in a dramatic stance gripping his staff, announcing "'SEIMEI KIKAN'!!" with the note "'CAUSE AS YOU SEE..."

A MILLENNIUM IN THE SEA, ANOTHER MILLENNIUM IN THE MOUNTAINS." The bearded man in the hat reacts with shock, "EEH!!I WHAT WAS THAT!I WHAT HAPPENED JUST NOW!I" The long-haired man continues intensely, "THERE'S NO PLACE... THAT HUMANS CANNOT NATURALLY CONTROL AFTER CHAN-CHAN-CHANNELED THE CONSCIOUSNESS INTO EVERY INCH OF THE BODY!!!" and describes "FROOOOM HAIR ON THE VISCERA AND THE TIP OF TOE... EVEN DOWNY HAIR;" The bearded man protests, "AH, YOYOI!! CALLING ME AN OCTOPUS IS EXTREMELY IMPOLITE...!!! CALL ME A MANLY..." while the long-haired man notes the hair moving "LIKE AN OCTOPUS IS BECAUSE OF THAT ABILITY, TOO!I" A distant figure appears in a doorway as an explosion erupts with "BOOM!!" The bearded man wonders, "... BIO FEEDBACK OR SOME-THING... I RECALL READING ABOUT THAT ABILITY."

The long-haired man dramatically poses with spread fingers, yelling "CALL ME A MAAANLY LIOOOON!!!" as large SFX "ギャン" and "LION!!!" burst around him. In the next sequence his hair extends wildly with the technique name "'KAMI SHIBARI*'!!!" and massive motion lines "ビシリリ" and "ビリビリ!!!" A small panel shows the bearded man in the hat sweating with gritted teeth, reacting "!!!!" The long-haired man is shown mid-action with hair binding effects while the bearded man stares in disbelief. A final inset displays the long-haired man with his staff and the label "'SEIMEI KIKAN'" as the technique activates.

A bear-like fighter scans the area and growls, "WHERE IS HEI" The top-hatted fighter with X marks on his face activates Soru, vanishing in a blur as he shouts, "SORU"!! An unseen voice warns, "I'LL BE DONE FOR IF I GET CAUGHT IN THAT." The attacker reappears with a piercing strike, yelling "SHIGAN" as the impact sends debris flying. The bear-like fighter reacts with shock, exclaiming "Q"! The top-hatted fighter presses the assault, noting "THAT STICK ISN'T EVEN POINTY, BUT...!!!" A massive explosion erupts with the sound effect "ばく" and "SHUUUU..." as the opponent is blasted backward amid swirling smoke and impact lines.

The top-hatted fighter continues his assault with rapid strikes, shouting "Q"!! repeatedly as the long-haired opponent is pummeled amid heavy impact SFX. The bear-like fighter cries out in pain, "OOWAAAH, OOWAAH, GYAAAH!" The long-haired fighter braces with "TEKKAI"!!! and counters with a powerful "HEAVY GONG"!!! that sends shockwaves outward. The top-hatted fighter is struck hard, grunting "UGH!!" and "OWWW!!" while the long-haired fighter glares and mutters "YOI."

The long-haired fighter thinks to himself about the Rumble Ball's effects: "...BUT 'RUMBLE BALL'* IS A POWERFUL DRUG...!! ONCE IN EVERY SIX HOURS IS THE SUITABLE DOSE. ANYTHING MORE WILL AFFECT MY BODY BADLY." He worries, "SHIT...!! I KNEW IT...!! I WON'T DO ANY DAMAGE TO HIM UNLESS I ATTACK HIM WITH ARM POINT OR HORN POINT!!!" The bear-like fighter roars, "PREPARE TO BE SKEWERED AND GRILLED!!!" while internally noting the third ball's risks. The top-hatted fighter declares, "THE THIRD BALL WILL MAKE ME LOSE MY CONSCIOUSNESS AND THEN THERE'S NO WAY I COULD FIGHT HIM." He launches a devastating strike, yelling "SHISH KEBAB*"!!! as the bear-like fighter yells "I'M JUST WASTING MY TIME LIKE THIS!!" and "RUMBLE"!!!
Tony Tony ChopperKumadori
15
The bear-like fighter growls, "... TAKE THIS!!" and activates "HORN"... while declaring "ALL-OR-NOTHING!! I'LL SETTLE THIS MATCH IN 3 MINUTES!!!" The long-haired fighter thinks, "IT'S HIGHLY RISKY BUT I STILL HAVE A CHANCE...!!!" and counters with "POINT"!!! The bear-like fighter screams "NOOOO!!!" as the clash sends debris flying. Multiple voices shout technique names in rapid succession: "POINT"!!! "JUMPING"... "KEBAB"!!! "HOOOT"!!! as the fighters exchange heavy blows with dramatic impact effects.

A fierce battle rages as a long-haired fighter with an X mark on his head is slammed violently into a wall. "GUHEH!!!" he cries out in pain. Massive impact effects explode across the page with "ズッ!!!" and "ズガァァァン!!!" as the attacker swings a long staff-like weapon. "YOYOI!!!" the fighter shouts while being driven back. In the lower panels the scene shifts to a rocky interior where the same fighter struggles on the ground. "SHIT....!!! ONLY IF I CAN GET TO 'ARM POINT'..." he thinks desperately. "THEN I CAN GIVE HIM KOKUTEN WITH ALL MY MIGHT!!!" Another voice declares, "SO, IN THE END... I CAN'T CONTROL IT!!!"

SBS Question Corner page. Reader -RIFECT asks about the meaning of Rob Lucci's name, noting that "rob" means "to steal" and "lucci" means "light" in Italian, suggesting a theme of stealing the light. Oda stammers a reply confirming it while admitting he had no idea. Another reader asks about Nami's cup size in Volume 41's SBS, claiming measurements and calling themselves a D-cup. Oda responds that many female readers sent similar detailed questions but doubts boys read that far, noting Nami and Robin are both I-cups. Japanese cup sizes are noted as smaller than Western ones. Page includes Oda's portrait and Nami illustration.
