Pirate Sanji vs Enigma Absalom

Luffy's face twists in alarm as the ground trembles violently beneath him. "IT'S SHAKING REALLY HARD!" he yells, sweat flying. "I WONDER WHAT'S GOING ON!" Below, the massive checkered zombie Absalom looms over the railing, laughing "KISHISHISHI!!" while addressing the Straw Hat. "SO, WHAT DO YOU WANTI WHAT DID YOU COME FORI I THINK IT'S MOST LIKELY YOUR FAULT... IT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE THE SHIP GOT CAUGHT IN SOME WEIRD CURRENT..." Luffy glares back furiously from the deck. Absalom sneers, "SUCH A GREEDY GUY... HOW ARE YOU PLANNING ON DOING THATI" Luffy roars in response, "GIVE ME MY SHADOW BACK, AND ALSO ZORO'S, AND ALSO BROOK'S TOO, AND ALSO THAT ZOMBIE OLD MAN'S! ALL OF THEM!! AH! HOW DARE YOU TAKE AWAY MY SHADOW LIKE THAT A WHILE AGO!I"

Absalom looms in close-up, his stitched face twisted in a wide grin as he declares, "EVEN IF YOU KICK MY ASS OR KILL ME, THE ZOMBIES WILL NOT LOSE THEIR SHADOW BY LOSING THEIR 'GOVERNOR'." A tiny figure is visible high on the distant railing. He continues, "I ONLY NEED TO KICK YOUR ASS, RIGHTI" In the next panel his expression turns manic as he explains, "BY FACING ALL THE SHADOWS, AND AS THEIR CURRENT GOVERNOR... COMMANDING THEM TO GO BACK TO THEIR MASTERS. MY ABILITY IS TO 'GOVERN' SHADOWS. THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO MAKE YOUR WISH COME TRUE." Luffy stands on a curved walkway inside the massive building, shouting "ALRIGHT, 'GOMU GOMU NO...!!!'" while a small creature labeled "FUA" reacts nearby. Absalom replies with a laugh, "KISHISHISHI, THAT'S RIGHT. IT'S REALLY SIMPLE! IF YOU CAN MAKE ME WEAK ENOUGH TO DO IT, IT'S FINE. BUT... WITH YOUR LEVEL OF POWER, YOU CAN'T EVEN LAY A FINGER ON ME! AND BY DOING THAT, YOU'LL MAKE ALL THE SHADOWS COME BACKI"

Luffy launches forward with a stretching punch, yelling "PISTOL!!!" as Absalom is struck with a massive impact that sends debris flying. Absalom's face twists in surprise, an exclamation mark appearing beside him. In close-up his eyes widen as he mutters, "KISHISHISHI, TRY WINNING..." while a shadow arm stretches out. Luffy grins fiercely, reacting with "A SHADOW!I" Below, multiple shadow creatures emerge, one labeled "DOPPELMAN!" as they lunge with claws extended. Absalom's voice declares, "AGAINST MY CLONE..." while the shadows attack with motion lines and sound effects "ズズズ..." and "ズ..."

A massive shadowy figure looms inside the ruined stone structure as narration recalls, "IN THE PAST, I WAS FILLED WITH OVERESTIMATION AND ASPIRATION FOR MY OWN POWER." The silhouette strikes a dramatic pose while someone off-panel cries "WAH!" In the next tier, the figure's face is revealed as a stitched, monstrous zombie with a wide grin. It declares, "I'M THE MAN WHO'LL BECOME THE PIRATE KING BY USING THE POWER OF OTHERS, NOT BY USING MY HANDS!" and adds, "BUT, I UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF EXCELLENT UNDERLINGS!" Luffy appears in a close panel, shocked and shouting, "WHAT'S THATI MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!" The zombie continues, "BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE PREVIOUS MASTER'S WILL IS LEFT STRONG IN HIM, AS EXPECTED. THERE IS A LARGE DIFFERENCE IN PHYSIQUES BETWEEN THE 'SHADOW' AND THE 'BODY'... YOUR ZOMBIE SAID THAT, TOO..." while a smaller figure is sent flying. It concludes, "THAT IS A QUESTION OF TIME, THOUGH," and "I'M THE ONE WHO'LL BECOME THE PIRATE KING!!!" as debris explodes around Luffy, who yells "WAH!"

The massive zombie looms with arms spread, proclaiming, "EVERY ZOMBIE WILL MEET 'ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE' IN HIS LIFE. NO MATTER HOW POWERFUL THE EGO IS... HE'LL BECOME A ZOMBIE COMPLETELY OBEDIENT TO ME! WHEN HE FINALLY LOSES ALL MEMORY OF BEING YOU..." Luffy reacts with surprise in a side panel, gritting his teeth as he begins stretching his arm and shouting, "GOMU GOMU NO...!!!!" The zombie lunges forward with a massive kick, yelling "RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY!!!" Luffy counters with a rapid barrage, calling out "GATLING GUN"!!! while the zombie desperately swings a "BRICK BAT"!!! that shatters into countless pieces amid heavy impact effects "BUU BUU BUU BUU!!!" and "ゴゴゴゴゴ!!!" Luffy presses the assault as the zombie recoils from the flurry of punches.

Luffy reels from a barrage of unseen blows, his face twisting in pain as impact lines and SFX explode around him. A stitched-face man with wild hair laughs from the side, "HAM HMM HMM ♪", while a massive barrage erupts with the giant onomatopoeia "ズドドドドド!!!!". Luffy shouts "OH!!" and "OUCH!!!" as he is slammed backward. In the next sequence he struggles desperately, crying "DAMN!! HE'S COMPLETELY GUARDED!!!" and "I CAN'T HIT HIM!!!" while small black bat silhouettes swarm and the sound effect "ドドドド!!" repeats. The invisible assailant remains untouchable, leaving Luffy unable to land a single strike.

Absalom's face fills a panel as he roars "WHAT WILL KICK MY ASSI DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!!" and "KISHISHISHI, REST ASSURED, THEY WON'T SUCK YOUR BLOOD!" while bats swarm Luffy, who yells "OUCH!!!" and "OUCH-CHCH-CHCH!!!". Luffy is thrashed amid the swarm and finally shouts "LET GO OF ME!!!". The scene cuts to a stone corridor where a top-hatted figure stands before a large door, declaring "HE'LL ONLY BE EMBARRASSED IN THE END!" and "YOU BASTARD, YOU'VE ALREADY GONE TO YOUR HEAD!!!". A calm voice continues, "WHEN A YOUNG BRAT WITH NOT MUCH EXPERIENCE UNDERESTIMATES PEOPLE..." as the sound "ZUZU..." rumbles and heavy breathing "HAA" echoes from the shadows.

Luffy is sent flying backward by a massive kick from the horned giant, who stamps down hard with a "STAMP"!!! impact that shatters the stone bridge. Luffy shouts "GOMU GOMU NO...!!!" as he stretches and rebounds. The giant yells "WHAT IS THATI JUMPED OFF LIKE THATI ARE YOU PLANNING TO RUN AWAYI" Luffy lands and immediately retorts, "LOOK!! WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO TOUCH YOU!!!I YOU BIG LEEK!!!" The giant roars back in pain, "THAT HURT, YOU BRAT!!!" while Luffy grimaces with "HAA" and "HAA" sound effects, bloodied but defiant.

Explosions and debris rock the ruined castle halls with loud "ゴゴゴ..." rumbling. A stitched zombie in a black vest grips Nami tightly. A spinning vortex of wind erupts in the hall as someone shouts "HUH!I" The zombie reacts with shock "オオォッ!!" while Sanji bursts in, crying "NAMI-SAN!!!" Nami looks dazed in the zombie's arms. Sanji charges forward with rapid "ズキューン" and "ズキューン" motion lines as the background blurs from his speed.

A massive impact erupts across the ruined corridor as a dark silhouette delivers a powerful kick amid flying debris and smoke. "LET GO OF HER, YOU!!!" someone shouts. In the aftermath, Sanji kneels while cradling the unconscious Nami in his arms. "IT'S YOUR KNIGHT!!!" he declares. "SORRY TO MAKE YOU WAIT, NAMI-SAN..." Small reaction panels show Nami's limp hand and scattered rubble. Sanji's eyes suddenly bulge in shock as he stares at her face. "O... OH!! I WAS SURPRISED...!!! NAMI-SAN... IT'S NAMI-SAN!! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!" he exclaims. "HUH!!I A GODDESS!I" "IT'S A REAL BEAUTY THAT WILL MAKE A MAN ROAR... I THOUGHT THAT I WAS SAVING A GODDESS BY MISTAKE!!" Nami lies with eyes closed, wearing a white wedding-style dress and veil, completely unaware.

Nami remains dazed with half-closed eyes. Sanji leans in close, muttering "SU...!" while gesturing. "WHAT ARE YOU MUMBLING ABOUT...I YOU, FOR SURE... ARE PART OF THE CREW THAT WAS ON THE PIRATE SHIP..." he says. Nearby voices react: "WHAT'S UP WITH THOSE TWOI" "THAT PURE WHITE FITS NAMI-SAN, JUST LIKE RICE!" "YEAH, FOR SURE!" "THAT IS A POSSIBILITY, THAT IS A POSSIBILITY, FOR SURE..." Absalom's monstrous lion face looms with wide eyes. "A... AH!! NO, NO, IT'S A HUMAN, FOR SURE. I... I WAS IMPATIENT!!" "HUH!!I AN ANGEL!I" A huge impact panel erupts as Absalom lunges forward. "LET GO OF MY BRIDE!!!" he roars. "HEY, WAIT!!! YOU ARE A PIRATE; THERE IS NO LOGIC IN ME GETTING ALONG WITH YOU!!!" Sanji stands protectively over Nami amid flying debris.

Sanji stands protectively with Nami in his arms after dodging an attack. "YOU SHOULD AVOID USING ATTACKS THAT CAN HURT UNINVOLVED PEOPLE!" he warns. A voice replies, "HEY, THAT ALMOST HIT NAMI-SAN. IN A PLACE WHERE THERE IS A LADY..." Absalom, the massive stitched-faced zombie general, glares from the side with a surprised "!!" In the next panels Absalom reflects on his past subordinate: "HE HAD SOME EGO LEFT IN HIM, SO HE DIDN'T BECOME AN OBEDIENT ZOMBIE. THERE WAS A NEW GUY THAT WAS WEIRDLY INTERESTED IN THAT WOMAN... ALTHOUGH, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE A SHADOW ANYMORE... YOU DODGED IT WELL!" Sanji sets Nami down and faces Absalom across the ruined plaza. "I WANT TO MEASURE HIS PHYSICAL ABILITIES IN BATTLE," Absalom declares. Sanji answers coldly, "IT WAS MOST LIKELY YOUR ZOMBIE!" while recalling, "LOOKING BACK AT THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T LET HIM JOIN THE 'GENERAL ZOMBIES'... HE WAS REALLY ONLY A PENGUIN'S SIZE, AND HE WAS REALLY WEAK."

Absalom looms close, his scarred face filling the panel. "LEAVE THAT WOMAN TO ME AND GO LIVE A LIFE OF HIDING IN THE SHADE! WELL, I WON'T SAY ANYTHING BAD..." He continues, "AND COMMANDS THE 'GENERAL ZOMBIES,' IS RIDICULOUS... FOR SUCH AN UNDERLING TO THINK HE CAN OPPOSE ME, WHO IS KNOWN AS 'ENIGMA'..." Sanji suddenly kicks him hard, sending Absalom flying with a surprised "WHAAA!! THAT SURPRISED ME!! I THOUGHT IT WAS A HEAVENLY NYMPH!!" Absalom rises, furious: "DON'T YOU UNDERSTANDI I'M NOW QUITE UPSET...! BEFORE THAT, I HAVE TO SEAL THE VOW BY KISSING MY BRIDE... I'M REALLY BUSY RIGHT NOW. IT SEEMS THAT MY STRONG UNDERLINGS... HAVE BEEN BEATEN BY YOUR CAPTAIN'S ZOMBIE. AND I HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE FIGHTING SUCH A SMALL FRY AS..." Sanji's leg swings in with a massive impact "YOU..." as Absalom reels from the blow.

A massive black silhouette delivers a devastating kick amid shattering debris and an explosion, with "DOBAAA!!I" ringing out. Someone shouts, "SHUT UP, YOU "WILD, BEAST-FACED FESTIVAL MAN"!!!" Below, Absalom lies sprawled and injured while Sanji stands in the background with arms crossed. A voice asks, "IT WAS YOU, RIGHTI" Another notes, "THE "INVISIBLE MAN" THAT USOPP TALKED ABOUT..." Sanji smirks and adjusts his tie as "SUPAH" appears. Absalom's underlings panic, screaming "WHAAA!! ABSALOM-SAMA!I" and "NO WAY!! FOR SOMEONE TO BLOW OFF THIS MAN'S WEIGHT, THE MAN WHO WEIGHS 300 KILOS!!!" while Absalom reacts with shock, "...!!I"

Sanji glares with a spinning eye as a voice declares, "THE HANDS OF THE DECEASED"!!!" Absalom reels from the earlier kick, shouting, "WHAT WAS THAT KICK...!!I THE WILD POWER THAT HOGBACK HAD PUT IN MY BODY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BLOWN OFF BY IT!" Sanji launches a powerful spinning kick with "PARAH!!" and massive Japanese impact SFX "ネコォォン!!" "タン!" "タン!" "ドゥゥゥン!!" Absalom is sent flying, yelling "GYAH!!!" Sanji lands and declares, ""BASSES COTES"!!!" Absalom, bloodied and furious, roars, "HOW DO YOU DO THAT!I DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO RIGHT NOW!I"

Sanji launches a furious assault on the horned, cloaked figure, his leg striking with explosive force. "TENDRON"!!! "LONGE"!!! The attacker reels, "GEHUEI!!!" and "WOOO!!" Sanji presses on with rapid kicks: "QUASI" "QUEUE" "CUISSE"!!! "FLANCHET"!!! The cloaked man gasps, "GAAH!!!" A voice questions the power: "WHAT'S THIS STRENGTHI THIS WAS AN UNDERLING!I" Sanji continues, "JARRET"!!! The cloaked figure retorts about the peeping: "AND THE ONE WHO WAS LOOKING AT NAMI-SAN NAKED IN THE SHOWER WAS YOU, TOO!I THE INVISIBLE BEAST THAT APPEARED ON THOUSAND SUNNY AND LICKED ROBIN-CHAN WAS YOU!I" Sanji snarls back, "WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT MARRIAGE!!I TRY SAYING IT WHILE LOOKING AT ME!! I'LL KICK YOU INTO PIECES AND MAKE A CROQUETTE OUT OF YOU!!!" The cloaked man counters, "IT'S BECAUSE YOU DID SOMETHING DIRTY, FOR SURE!!!" and "WHY DID SHE FAINT!I" as the fight rages with impact lines and debris flying.

Sanji fires a powerful shot, "PAAN!" sending the cloaked figure flying amid impact effects. Usopp appears, deploying "USOPP'S SPECIAL... SALT BALLS!!!" The cloaked man yells, "DAMN!! IT'S A TEMPORARY RETREAT!!!" and "SKATING"!!! as he slides away. A close-up shows him reacting with "THERE, HUH..." Sanji follows up with a devastating aerial kick, "VEAU SHOT"!!! The cloaked figure screams in agony, "SOBE-BEBE-BEBA!!!" amid massive impact bursts and motion lines as the salt takes effect.

An enormous explosion erupts as a black-suited figure is hurled backward through smoke and debris. A shocked voice cries out, "IMPOSSIBLE... THERE IS NO BOUNTY ON THAT BASTARD...!!I" Impact lines and flying rubble fill the panel. Below, the same suited man lands in a dramatic stance while another character reels from the blast. "IT DID!!!" "MY BODY IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE WITH ANGER!!!" A close-up shows a battered face with swirling hair and gritted teeth. In the next panels a tall figure stands before stone arches, declaring, "... I'M NOT SUCH A THING!!!" and "YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE IRRITATED...!!" while smaller figures tumble in the background amid "ゴゴゴゴゴ" rumbling sounds. The final close-up reveals a sweat-drenched face with wide eyes and a trickle of blood or saliva at the mouth. The character thinks, "THERE IS ANOTHER... CONNECTION BETWEEN US..." and "... AND, IT'S REALLY UNLUCKY..." as a final "!!I" reaction escapes his lips.
