Chapter 270: "SERENADE" The title page shows Luffy wading through shallow water, holding a piece of wood in his hand and smiling broadly. Behind him, a giant elephant is spraying a large arc of water from its trunk. To the right, a leopard wearing a straw hat and carrying a backpack stands in the water, looking towards Luffy.

Kamakiri, a Shandia warrior, draws his bow and aims an arrow, yelling fiercely, "YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO WIPER!" Two other Shandia warriors stand behind him, weapons ready. In the background, the giant snake Nola rears up among the ruins, crying "MEEH~~~!!!". Ohm stands calmly with his sword resting on his shoulder, his giant dog Holy beside him. The snake cries out again, "MEEH~~~!!!". Suddenly, Kamakiri is struck down, slamming face-first into the ground with a loud "BAM!!".

Ohm holds his sword, stating, "IN THESE UPPER RUINS, THERE ARE FOUR HOLY GUARDS... PLUS THOSE TWO WHO ARE PROBABLY NOT DEAD YET..." He calculates the remaining combatants: "FOUR SHANDIAN WARRIORS, ONE INTRUDER FROM THE BLUE SEA... TO THOSE WE ADD A GIANT SNAKE AND HOLY... THAT MAKES TEN FIGHTERS AND TWO ANIMALS." Kamakiri struggles on the ground, groaning "ACK...!!". Ohm leaps down from the ruins, his sword drawn, as Nola cries "MEEEH~~~!!!!". Holy sits and barks "WOOF!". Ohm lands heavily with a "DOOOOM!!!", declaring, "IT'S TIME FOR THE APOTHEOSIS. LET'S DO THAT MOVE, HOLY!"

Holy leaps into action, delivering a powerful kick to Kamakiri that sends him flying with a "BAM!!". Kamakiri looks shocked, exclaiming "!!?". Holy barks "WOOF!!!". Landing on his front paws, Holy kicks his hind legs out. Ohm commands, "NOW, 'DASH'!!!". Kamakiri is struck again, crying out "ARGH!!!". Holy then sprints rapidly on his hind legs, barking continuously, "AAF! AAF! AAF! AAF! AAF! WOOF!".

Ohm swings his sword, which extends and bends like a whip, striking the ground around Kamakiri with multiple sharp impacts. Kamakiri looks surprised and alarmed, "...!?", "!". A wide shot reveals a massive dome of barbed wire beginning to form over the ruins. Ohm laughs triumphantly, "HAHA! YOU ARE NOW TRAPPED IN THE REAL TRIAL OF IRON!" Trapped inside, Kamakiri asks in confusion, "WHAT'S GOING ON!!? DAMN IT! WHAT IS THAT DOG DOING...!?"

A massive dome of barbed wire completely encloses the battlefield. Large text announces "THE WHITE THORN DEATH-MATCH!!!". Inside the dome, Zoro sits on the ground, looking annoyed. He remarks, "COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY... IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GOING TO RUN AWAY..." Outside the dome, the giant snake Nola cries "MEEEH~~~!!". Ohm's voice shouts, "YOU FOOL! THIS ISN'T JUST TO PREVENT ESCAPE!! THIS CAGE IS MADE OF BARBED WIRE!!"

A Shandia warrior is thrown violently against the barbed wire cage, screaming "ARGH!!!". Another warrior watches in shock, saying "HUH?". Wiper observes the situation and deduces, "IN OTHER WORDS... IT'S BETTER TO AVOID BEING PROJECTED ON IT." Nola the snake looks distressed, crying "TSULA!". Ohm calmly advises, "DON'T BE IN A HURRY, MY FRIEND... THINK ABOUT IT AFTER YOU'VE ELIMINATED ME!" Zoro, still sitting, retorts, "THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO I GET OUT AFTER I DEFEAT EVERYONE!?"

A wide shot inside the barbed wire dome shows Zoro, Nola, Holy, Ohm, and Wiper. Ohm notes, "EIGHT MEN AND TWO ANIMALS REMAINING..." Elsewhere in the ruins, Laki runs frantically, panting "HAA... HAA...". She spots Wiper and calls out, "THANK GOD I FOUND YOU!" Wiper looks surprised, saying "LAKI...". Laki yells his name, "WIPER!!!"

Wiper demands, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Laki urgently replies, "WIPER! LISTEN TO ME!!!" An explosion goes off nearby, catching Zoro's attention. Wiper yells at Laki, "DON'T COME CLOSER! GET AWAY FROM HERE! GET AWAY!!!" Ignoring his warning, Laki delivers her message: "KAMAKIRI IS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND HE CHARGED ME TO TELL YOU... ENEL IS IN THE FOREST!!!" Wiper is shocked by the news, "LAKI...!!"

Enel's face appears, wearing a sinister smile. He asks, "YOU CALLED!!?" Enel materializes right behind Laki. She looks terrified, whispering "ENEL...". Wiper screams, "ENEEEL!!!". Desperate, Wiper aims his bazooka and pleads, "WAIT, ENEL! DON'T DO THAT!!! SHE'S GIVING UP THE FIGHT!!" Enel raises his hand, which crackles with electricity.

Wiper yells frantically, "LAKI! DON'T DO ANYTHING!!! JUST RUN!!" Enel mocks them, "FOOL~~~!! DON'T EXPECT TO SURVIVE IF YOU'RE WORRYING ABOUT OTHERS~~~!!!". Laki trembles, remembering Kamakiri's warning: "HE'S INVINCIBLE!!!". She aims her gun at Enel, crying, "WIPER! ENEL IS...". Wiper shouts, "YOU FOOL!". Enel unleashes a massive blast of lightning at Laki. As she is struck, Enel coldly states, "A GOOD SHANDIAN IS A DEAD SHANDIAN, WIPER!". Nola cries out "MEEH~~~!!!".

A massive pillar of lightning strikes the ground where Laki stood. Enel stands with his back turned, smoke rising from his finger, as Laki falls to the ground, defeated. Enel smiles wickedly. Wiper stares in horror and fury, sweating profusely. Enel laughs maniacally, "YAHAHA HAHAHA!!! YAHA HA..."

Nola the snake looks confused, crying "EH? MEEH~~!?". Ohm is surprised, wondering, "EH~~ WHY DIDN'T HE FALL DOWN!? ALRIGHT THEN! LET'S ATTACK HIM ONCE MORE! MEEH~~!". Zoro observes Enel, thinking, "SO THAT'S GOD...!?". Consumed by rage, Wiper screams "AAAAAAH!!" and fires his bazooka wildly. Enel stands calmly amidst the explosions, stating, "YOU ARE MORE NAIVE THAN I'D HAVE THOUGHT, WIPER... I MAKE NO DISTINCTIONS AMONG THE WARRIOR LAMBS WHO ATTACK ME, BE IT A WOMAN OR A MAN."

Enel transforms into lightning and vanishes with a "KZZZM!", leaving behind a mocking "WELL THEN, TAKE CARE... YAHA HAHA HAHA!!!". Wiper is left shooting at empty space. Ohm holds his sword, commenting, "HOW TERRIFYING... ALMIGHTY GOD SURE IS FRIGHTENING!". Wiper glares at him. Zoro turns his attention to Nola, saying, "I'VE GOT SOME BUSINESS TO DO WITH YOUR STOMACH!". The snake looks back, crying "MEEH~~!".

Wiper charges forward with a fierce expression. Nola rears up in the background. Wiper fires his bazooka, yelling "OUT OF MY WAY!!!". Ohm intercepts the attack with his sword, commanding his dog, "HOLY! ATTACK!".

Holy leaps towards Wiper with jaws wide open, barking "WOOF!!!". Wiper barely dodges, crying "GWAAH!!!". Ohm swings his sword at Zoro, who quickly blocks the strike with his own swords. Zoro pushes back against Ohm's blade, sparks flying from the clash.

Wiper uses his "AXE DIAL" to strike Holy directly in the face. Nola thrashes around wildly, destroying the surrounding ruins and crying "MEEH~~~!!!". Zoro, Ohm, and Wiper stand ready for the continuing battle. Text bubbles indicate the remaining combatants: "ONLY SIX MEN" and "AND TWO ANIMALS REMAINING!".

Inside a dark, fleshy cavern, Nami rubs her head, groaning "OW~~...!!! OUCH...!!". Aisa is nearby, crying "PIEEH!!!". Gan Fall stands up, realizing, "IT SEEMS WE'VE BEEN SWALLOWED ALIVE... WE ARE IN ITS STOMACH...". Nami looks shocked and asks, "HEY! AISA... ARE YOU OKAY!!?". Aisa cries, "WIPER! I'VE FAILED YOU... POUAAH!!!". Nami sits on her waver, looking around in disbelief. "WHERE... WHERE IS THIS PLACE? HELLOOO!? HE JUST SAID INSIDE THE SNAKE'S STOMACH... WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE BEING DIGESTED... I HOPE MY WAVER ISN'T BROKEN. WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY ON THE SHIP...? AND WHAT IS THAT LITTLE SHANDIAN DOING WITH YOU!?".

Nami yells at Gan Fall, "OF COURSE YOU WERE!! I'D LIKE TO SEE ANYONE WHO'D ACTUALLY THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA!!". Gan Fall sheepishly replies, "HUH... I WAS JOKING...". Nami continues her tirade, "DON'T BE STUPID!!! THAT WOULD JUST PISS IT OFF A LITTLE MORE! DO YOU WANT TO DIE OR SOMETHING!? TRY TO THINK A LITTLE!!". Gan Fall ponders, "I WONDER IF I COULD DIG A HOLE THROUGH THIS STOMACH WALL." Nami yells, "CALM DOWN! AND SHOW SOME RESPECT!". Aisa cries, "I... I'LL DESTROY YOU!! OH CRAP! GOD!". Suddenly, Luffy bursts into the scene, yelling "OOOOOOOH!!!!". Nami asks in confusion, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THIS MAGIC CAVE!!?". Gan Fall exclaims, "WEIRD GUY!!!". Luffy and Nami spot each other and yell each other's names in surprise: "NAMI!!!" and "LUFFY!!!".
