King Punch!!

A massive close-up shows a fishman with a fierce expression, sharp teeth bared and eyes glaring, as a huge impact strikes him with the sound effect "ズガァン". In the background, a figure is sent flying. The scene shifts to the Corrida Colosseum arena. An announcer in a top hat shouts into a Den Den Mushi: "GATS-SAN, YOU'VE GOT TO REPORT THIS WITHOUT BIAS!!" and "EVEN THOUGH WE WERE SUPPORTING HIM, HE LOST TO THAT CHICKEN-HEADED BASTARD!!" Another voice cries "!!!! HACK HAS BEEN BEATEN!!". The crowd reacts with shock as text declares "24 CONTESTANTS REMAIN IN B-BLOCK!!" and "IT'S STILL HARD TO SAY WHO THE WINNER WILL BE!!". A panel identifies the fallen fighter: "FISHMAN KARATE MASTER, "100TH DEGREE BLACK BELT HACK"!!" as spectators yell "WHAT WAS THATI" and "KYAHH".

In the arena stands, a crowned fighter with a thick beard growls "GAMHAHAHA... EVERYONE'S GOOD AND WOUNDED!!...THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME" while another figure with wild hair and a crown laughs "SHI SHI SHI" and remarks "SUCH CHEEK...". A scarred blond fighter with his tongue out grins and says "LET'S END THIS THING...!!". Someone yells "HEY, BLUE GILLY!!I". The action explodes in a massive clash as a large armored fighter is struck with the sound "ギャア" and "HYAO!!", debris flying everywhere. A long-haired fighter in a spotted outfit is hurled through the air amid the chaos.

Combat rages on. A blond fighter with a sword taunts "WHAT DID YOU HOPE TO CUT WITH A BLADELESS SWORD!I" while another voice shouts "THAT BLUE GILLY IS FIERCE!!!". The crowd notes "SKILLED FIGHTERS ARE FALLING, ONE AFTER THE OTHER!!" and "EVEN THE MYSTERIOUS GLADIATOR, RICKY, WON'T SEE HIS AMBITIONS COME TO LIGHT!!". A helmeted fighter growls "DOFlamingo!! I HATE THIS CHEERING...!!! I HATE YOU...!!" and "MISTER!". Elsewhere, a lone fighter stands exhausted in the ruined arena, thinking "...LOOKS LIKE I CAN'T WIN... WE'LL BREAK THIS FORMATION AGAINST THE RAVAGES OF TIME..." while panting "HAA... HAA". In the stands, a group including a crowned man declares "WHEN HE GIVES THE SIGN, WE'LL BREAK THIS FORMATION!!" and "THE NUMBERS HAVE REALLY THINNED, THANKS TO DA-GAMA'S PLAN". Another adds "NOW, WE JUST HAVE TO LET THE TRUE WINNER...".

In the middle of the chaotic arena brawl, a fighter in a spotted outfit is hurled through the air with a massive impact as someone shouts, "DON'T LOSE YOUR POSITIONS!! HOW WERE YOU BROUGHT DOWN FROM BEHIND!I" Another voice screams "UWAH HHHHH HHH!!!" while a powerful strike lands with "HYAO!!" A wide-eyed fishman-like fighter reacts with "EH!I" as the spotted combatant counters with "GUAAHH HHHHHH HHH!!!" and another yells "CHYOE AHHHH HHH!!!" Below, Blue Gilly glares upward and declares, "I WAS ASSIGNED AS THE 'DOG HUNTER'..." Someone nearby shouts "BLUE GILLY!I" In the next panels, the spotted fighter stands triumphant over fallen opponents with "SHI SHI" sound effects, taunting, "GOOD WORK, YOU NAIVE DOGS!!!" and "IF IT'S COMPENSATION YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, YOU'LL GET IT LATER!!" A battered Dagama looks up in shock, exclaiming "...!! DAGAMA... YOU!!!"

The spotted fighter continues his assault with "HYAO!!" as Dagama is sent flying, shouting "DAGAMA, YOU SCHEMER!!" The spotted fighter mocks, "HMPH!! BRAINLESS FIGHTERS WILL NEVER BE MORE THAN PAWNS ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!" and "I'M LEAVING THIS TO YOU, LONG-LEG MAN!!" Close-ups show Blue Gilly's intense glare and the spotted fighter's grin. The long-leg fighter Blue Gilly then delivers a devastating spinning kick with a massive impact sound "BAGIIII!!!" and a fierce "HYAAO!!" as the spotted fighter is struck hard.

The spotted fighter crashes violently with "GYAAH HHHHHH HHH!!!" while Dagama is hurled away yelling "GOHHH!!! BASTARD... YOU BETRAYED ME!!!" and "BLUE GI..." Blue Gilly stands over the scene, stating, "FROM THE VERY START, I KNEW THAT A FISHY CHARACTER LIKE YOU... WASN'T SOMEONE TO BE TRUSTED!!" and "AHHH HHHH HHHH" as Dagama is knocked out. The narration shifts: "MEANWHILE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING!!" The crowd reacts with shock, a woman screaming "NOOOO!!" while spectators cheer "NICE JOB, LONG-LEG MAN!!" and "BLUE GILLYYY".

Elsewhere in the colosseum, a bloodied Bellamy lies on the ground with "DRIP DRIP" as the crowd shouts "OUR DEAR BELLAMY!!! HE'S ON HIS LAST LEGS!!" and "BELLAMY-SAMA!!" while someone yells "HIS OPPONENT... IT'S THAT DAMN GUY!!" Close-ups show shocked spectators including a helmeted man exclaiming "BELLAMY..." and another laughing "HEHAHAHA" while noting "ABILITY USER IS HE...!I" and "THIS GUY... WHAT THE HELL KIND OF..." From the stands, voices call out "HEY, BELLAMY!!! HANG IN THERE!!" and "YOU ARE REALLY PISSING US OFF, BARTO-LOMEO!!" as Bartolomeo is mentioned. The crowd reacts with "IT'S JUST LIKE WITH HACK! BELLAMY TOOK DAMAGE FROM HIS OWN ATTACK!!!"

In the arena, fighters clash as Dagama is praised. "DAGAMA DID WELL" "FUFU" "SHI" "SHI". A voice declares, "ALL THAT REMAINS IS TO LET IT FLY!!" while another notes, "WE'VE ALL JUST BEEN ITCHING TO TAKE YOUR HEAD". Elizabello smirks and asks, "WELL, WHAT NOW, ELIZABELLO...I THERE'S NOTHING AS UNRELIABLE AS A KING IN THE OPEN...". A close-up shows a tense blond fighter with a sweat drop and "!I". The large armored warrior growls, "THERE'S NOTHING AS DANGEROUS AS AN UNSHEATHED BLADE...!!! AM I WRONG, BRATI YOU WERE THE ONES WHO PROTECTED ME WITH THAT FORMATION...!!". In the stands, spectators react in shock: "DON'T BE STUPID! HE MUST HAVE USED A WEAPON OR SOMETHING, RIGHT!I" "THAT HE ANNIHILATED AN ENEMY FORTRESS WITH A SINGLE PUNCH...!!! I HEARD ONCE, IN THE NEWS". "BUT, ON THE OFF-CHANCE THAT IT'S TRUE...!!" "THIS KING OF PRODENSE..." "SOMETHING'S WORRYING ME...".

The massive king in checkered attire charges forward with a powerful stance. "HE'S KEPT QUIET IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT FORMATION, BUT..." "TO BLOW AWAY EVEN THE SECTION OF THE AUDIENCE IN FRONT OF HIM!! HE COULD THROW A PUNCH POWERFUL ENOUGH". Onlookers shout, "THERE'S SOMETHING UNSETTLING IN THE AIR...!!" "THERE'S NO WAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN!!" "EH!I". A dramatic close-up shows the king's furious face as he prepares: "KINNN NNGG!! THE KING IS ABOUT TO MAKE HIS MOVE!!". Panic erupts below: "WAS THAT INCIDENT FROM A WHILE BACK REALLY TRUE!I" "TAKE DOWN ELIZABELLO!!" "RUN AWAY!!" with impact sounds and fleeing figures.

The king launches his devastating attack with "SHOOTING MOON!!" as he leaps and strikes, sending shockwaves. An opponent yells, "OUT OF THE WAY! I'LL SNAP HIS NECK!!". Reactions flood in: "!!!!" "HAHA, LET GO! DON'T MAKE LIGHT OF THE POWER OF SPRINGS..." "WHAT THE HELL'S THIS!I LET GO!!" "UGEEHH-HH WHAT A TENACIOUS BASTARD!!". The Prodence King is shown mid-air with "THE PRODENSE KING...!!". Close-ups capture horrified faces screaming "HYAO!!" and "WHAT'S THAT NOWI" with "!!!" as the massive force erupts.

The colossal punch lands with explosive force. Massive impact SFX "バキ バキバキバキ" "ドッカーン!!" "ドカッ!! ボンッ!!" erupt as the king delivers the blow. A giant close-up shows the king's roaring face and fist smashing through with "PUUUUUU UUNNNNN NNNCH!!" and heavy motion lines, debris, and shockwaves filling the arena as the devastating King Punch connects.

A colossal explosion rips through the Corrida Colosseum, sending massive chunks of stone and debris flying outward in all directions as the arena floor erupts. The sky fills with flying rubble and shockwaves. Below, panicked spectators and fighters shield themselves from the blast. The massive structure of the colosseum remains standing amid swirling dust and smoke, with small figures visible on the ground level staring upward in awe. Large onomatopoeia "オオオオオオオオ" rumble across the scene as the dust cloud billows outward.

The devastated arena smolders with smoke and rubble. A voice cries out, "NOTHING IN THE RING COULD HAVE POSSIBLY SURVIVED THAT!!" Another exclaims, "WHAT... WHAT TERRIFYING POWER!!" The announcer declares, "THE WINNER, HAILING FROM THE KINGDOM OF PRODENCE, IS......!! IN THE BATTLE ROYALE OF B-BLOCK..." A massive bearded man in a checkered outfit coughs violently, "COUGH, COUGH!!" and gasps, "WHAT A PUNCH...!!" Onlookers shout, "...!! BELLAMY!!! BLUE GILLY!!!" and "BELLAMY-SAMA!!" while others yell, "HMMII THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE! HEY, LOOK OVER THERE!! NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT...!!" and "EVERY ONE OF THE TOP CANDIDATES TO WIN IT ALL HAS FALLEN!!"

A tall figure stands amid the wreckage. Someone remarks, "HEHAHAHAHAHA..." and questions the survival of the audience section. The large checkered fighter stares in shock. Bartolomeo appears and shouts, "BARRIER!!" He explains with a grin, "I ATE THE 'BARI BARI NO MI' SO I'M A 'BARRIER MAN'....!!" and adds, "EVEN SNOT-NOSED KIDS KNOW THAT! IF SOMEONE TWISTS THEIR FINGERS LIKE THIS, THEY CAN MAKE A BARRIER!!" The big fighter reacts with confusion, "III"

Bartolomeo lunges forward with a massive barrier attack, yelling "BARRIER CRASH"!! as he smashes into his opponent with tremendous force, sending the fighter flying. The defeated man is announced as "ELIZABELLO THE SECOND, IS NO LONGER ABLE TO FIGHT!!!..." while another voice cries, "GUAHH H!!! 'THE FIGHTING KING'..." Bartolomeo stands victorious. The announcer stammers, "EH... THE WINNER OF B-BLOCK IS... DAMMIT..." as the crowd reacts in shock with screams of "GYAAH HHHHHHH HHHHHH!!!"

Bartolomeo stands triumphantly atop a massive impact cloud, arms flung wide in victory as debris and smoke erupt around the ruined arena. He laughs wildly, "HEHAHAHA!! YOU CAN ALL JUST GO TO HELL!!" A huge stylized sound effect "ブォォォォォ!!!" crashes across the page. In the lower panels, stunned spectators react in the stands. A helmeted fighter stares in disbelief, muttering "...THAT WEIRD GUY WON...!!!" Nearby, a furious man with wild hair and sharp teeth yells "EWWW!! WHY DID HE HAVE TO WIN!I" while another voice cries "GY AHH!!" A close-up shows the same angry spectator adding, "THE 'MERA MERA NO MI' WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING TO 'THAT' PERSON...!!" The page ends with the chapter number "CH.709 /END".

Inside the Colosseum passages and audience seating, a tense confrontation unfolds. A boxy mechanical figure and a blonde man in a black hat and cape argue with a bearded man in a top hat. The bearded man snaps, "KEEP IT DOWN!!!" The blonde replies, "... OK, SO YOU'RE ALSO..." The boxy figure declares, "INDEED I AM...!! MY COMRADES AND I HAVE BEEN MOVING ALONG STEADILY WITH THE PREPARATIONS!!" The bearded man accuses, "YOU'RE ALSO PLOTTING TO DESTROY THE FACTORY!I" The boxy figure continues, "IF YOU POSSESS THE GALL AND THE FORTITUDE TO STAND AGAINST DOFLAMINGO... BUT OUR PLAN IS ONE THAT COULD LEAD TO THE COLLAPSE OF THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY!!" The bearded man presses, "JUST TELL ME WHERE IT IS!! I'LL BRING IT DOWN IN AN INSTANT!!" The boxy figure responds, "I WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS TRAGIC COUNTRY, 'DRESS-ROSA'!!" while the bearded man retorts, "I CAN'T ALLOW THAT!! THERE ARE SOME WHO WORK IN THE FACTORY WHO WE AIM TO RESCUE!!"
