LUFFY VS USOPP

Nami leans forward with a furious expression, sweat drops flying as she yells, "NOTHING GOOD CAN POSSIBLY COME OUT OF THIS STUPID FIGHT!" and "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!I". Inside the Going Merry's cabin, Nami stands facing the hammocks and pleads, "JUST CALM DOWN! WE JUST NEED TO CALM DOWN!" and "WHY MUST TWO GOOD FRIENDS DUEL EACH OTHER!I". She adds, "USOPP ONLY SAID THAT STUFF BECAUSE HE LOST HIS HEAD FOR A MOMENT". Usopp lies silently in one hammock while Luffy rests in another. In a close-up, Luffy lies in his hammock and says, ""WHAT'S DONE IS DONE." RIGHTI" while looking tense. Luffy's face appears in the next panel with a serious, furrowed expression.

Sanji sits in a hammock and shouts, "WE CAN SOLVE THIS BY TALKING IT OUT!!" while Luffy replies from his own hammock, "NO! JUST APOLOGIZE TO HIM!!". Outside on a cliff overlooking the sea and the Going Merry, Luffy stands with his back to the viewer and declares in radiating speech bubbles, "WE WILL DUEL FOR THE RIGHT...", "I'LL COME BACK HERE!", "TONIGHT AT 10!", and "TO HAVE GOING MERRY!". Close-ups show Luffy's intense face and a growling, angry expression from another character. Luffy's face fills the bottom panel beneath a headband as he states, "THERE'S NO TURNING BACK..." while a voice replies, "...COMPLAIN ALL YOU WANT."

Inside the cabin, Nami sits beside the hammocks and says, "USOPP IS NOT SO STUPID AS TO GIVE UP HIS LIFE..." and "JUST FOR AN ARGUMENT...". Luffy lies in the hammock replying, "GO OFF AND CHILL IF YOU UNDERSTAND!!" while Nami responds, "LUFFY...". She continues, "IF THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY, IT WOULDN'T HAVE ENDED UP LIKE THIS." A heated argument erupts with Sanji yelling, "LOOK WHO'S TALKING!I YOU WENT OFF SHOPPING INSTEAD OF STAYING HERE TO HELP!!", "IF YOU HAD, USOPP WOULDN'T HAVE GOT ROBBED AND LOST HIS PRIDE!!", and "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST FINISH THEM OFF!I". Sanji adds, "I'M A COOK! I WAS DOING MY JOB!". Nami shouts, "DIDN'T THEY COME HERE DURING THE DAY!I" as an exterior shot shows the Going Merry with the text "THE FRANKIES!!".

Inside the building, Nami stands with her back to the group, sword at her side. Sanji and Zoro argue nearby. A voice says, "IT'S ALL THIS TRASH'S FAULT." Another declares, "THERE'S NO POINT ARGUING ABOUT IT!!" Sanji snaps, "SHUT UP, BOTH OF YOU! THIS IS NOT THE TIME!!" Chopper, wearing his hat, tells the others, "I WANTED TO FINISH TREATING HIM..." Nami notes, "CHOPPER, DIDN'T YOU RUN AFTER USOPP...I" Chopper replies that Usopp is now in the city and was forced to come back. The crew stands in tense silence as the argument fades.

Chopper bursts into tears with a massive "ひぐぅぅ!!" face, shouting, "YOU AND ME ARE FINISHED!! GO BACK TO THE SHIP!" Nami watches with a worried expression. The crew reflects on the sudden change: "AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW ROBIN'S WHEREABOUTS..." "EVERYONE WAS SO HAPPY JUST THIS MORNING..." In the distance the Straw Hat Jolly Roger flutters as narration states, "THE WHOLE GROUP IS FALLING APART..." The atmosphere grows heavy with unease.

From a high vantage, the crew spots a massive fortress city. Someone yells, "USOPP IS COMING!" Luffy stands alone on a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea and the distant structure, declaring, "DON'T COME DOWN, ALL OF YOU!" Below, Chopper and Nami react in shock: "USOPP~!!!" "HE'S HERE!!" Luffy's eyes narrow as he watches Usopp approach across the waves.

Luffy faces Usopp across a barren, windswept wasteland. Luffy shouts, "I HOPE YOU DON'T REGRET YOUR DECISION LATER!! THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!" Usopp, bandaged and armored, roars back, "STOP PRETENDING AND JUST COME GET ME! I CAME PREPARED!! I'LL BEAT YOU!!" The two stand ready for their clash as dramatic impact lines fill the air.

On a windswept shore near a docked ship, Usopp stands with his back to the viewer and declares, "I'VE BEEN WITH YOU FOR A LONG TIME, AND... I KNOW YOU INSIDE OUT!!" A distant voice warns, "DON'T THINK THAT I AM THE SAME AS YOUR PREVIOUS OPPONENTS WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT YOU, LUFFY!" Below, crew members watch anxiously from the deck of the Going Merry. One says, "DON'T BE TOO SURPRISED WHEN I TELL YOU THIS, LUFFY, BUT..." Another urges, "GO INSIDE IF YOU CAN'T WATCH." A worried voice cries, "CAN'T WE STOP THEM!I USOPP IS HURT REALLY BAD!!" In the foreground Luffy faces Usopp across the sand and shouts, "SURRENDER NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE!!!" Usopp retorts, "I HAVE 8000 FOLLOWERS WAITING FOR MY SIGNAL!!"

Luffy roars at Usopp, "THEN EAT USOPP SPELL!!!!" and "I AM PRETTY SURE YOU'RE JUST LYING, USOPP!!!" A crew member gasps, "OH MY GOD!!! 8000 PEOPLE!!!I" Usopp counters, "YOU SHOULD GO INSIDE." Luffy stretches his arm and yells, "GOMU GOMU!!!" Usopp leaps aside shouting, "GIGANTIC RAZOR BLADES BETWEEN EACH AND EVERY TOOTH IN YOUR MOUTH!!!" while yelling "GO INSIDE ALREADY!" and "GYAAA AAA~!!!" Luffy is struck and tumbles across the sand with impact lines and debris flying. Usopp lands and taunts, "GEHO!!!" as Luffy glares back with a fierce expression.

Usopp lunges forward with a bandaged hand and shouts, "KETCHUP STAR!!!" while a panel labels the technique "CERTAIN-DEATH." Luffy recoils, yelling "WAAAH! USOPP!!" A voice insists, "SEE! SEE! SEE! I TOLD YOU HE'S HURT REALLY BAD!!" Usopp then triggers a blinding burst labeled "FLASH DIAL!!!" Luffy shields his eyes as the explosion erupts. Usopp warns, "IT'S FOOLISH TO PITY YOUR ENEMY AND LEAVE YOURSELF VULNERABLE!!" Another panel repeats the threat "CERTAIN-DEATH!!" Luffy staggers from a kick, muttering "WUH..." as motion lines and impact stars fill the air.

Usopp fires a smoking projectile and yells, "EGG STAR!!" while Luffy shouts "AH!!" and "STAR!!" Usopp declares, "MY FIGHTING STYLE!!" and adds, "BY THE WAY, LUFFY, DON'T OPEN YOUR MOUTH SO WIDE!! YOU MAY GET BURNED!!" Luffy wipes his face, reacting to the smell: "AH! SO SMELLY! HOW OLD ARE THESE THINGS!!!I" Usopp snaps, "STUPID!! GET SERIOUS ALREADY!!" and "YOU THINK THIS IS STUPID!I SOON, LUFFY, YOU WON'T THINK SO!!!" Luffy spits with a close-up of his mouth, "UPU!!" as Usopp launches another attack labeled "CERTAIN-DEATH *TABASCO STAR!!!" with the note "*TABASCO IS A KIND OF HOT SAUCE."

As Luffy plummets, a voice warns, "ALSO, WHEN YOU'RE FALLING DOWN, YOU SHOULD LOOK OUT... BENEATH YOU!!" He crashes into a field of spikes with a massive "ボンッ" impact and "HOT~!!!" Usopp looms over him, shouting "HOW DO YOU LIKE MY CALTROP HELL!!" Luffy writhes in agony, crying "... AH!! IT HURTS!" A furious figure with a horned mask roars "I DON'T CARE HOW I DO IT!!" while Luffy pushes forward, declaring "LUFFY!! I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU AND GET GOING MERRY, AND..." Onlookers react in shock: "USOPP IS SO... FAST!!" and ".......!!"

Usopp presses the assault, yelling "YOU WON'T GET A CHANCE TO CATCH YOUR BREATH!! CERTAIN-DEATH" and "DIDN'T I TELL YOUI I'VE PREPARED ALL MY ATTACKS JUST FOR YOU!!" Luffy coughs violently amid the smoke: "*COUGH* DAMN IT!! SO SMELLY... SPICY... WAAAH... IT HURTS..." Usopp unleashes "*SHURIKEN SHOWER!!*" sending Luffy flying through a barrage of blades with a pained "WAH!!" The barrage continues as "*SHURIKEN + METEOR SHOWER*" rains down, leaving Luffy battered with "WUH..." and impact sounds "ビシッ" "ガッ" "ドンッ".

Luffy staggers through the smoke, laughing weakly "HEH... HEH... HEH... HEH..." while clutching his face. Usopp taunts from afar, "HEH... HEH...!!! IT'S A BREEZE DIAL! I USED THE ROTTEN EGG TO STOP YOU FROM SMELLING IT..." Luffy's eyes widen in realization as smoke swirls: "SMOKE!I" and "HUHI" Usopp reveals his trap, "WHILE I SURROUNDED YOU WITH GAS!!" with a small dial releasing gas into the air.

Luffy stands amid the gas, shouting "BOH!!" as the observers react with "NO HARD FEELINGS!!" "HE'S GOING TO..." and "GAS!" Usopp then ignites the cloud with a massive explosion, yelling "FLAME STAR!!" The blast erupts violently with "ドドドドド" and "ボンッ" as Luffy is engulfed in flames and smoke.

Explosions rock the sea as massive blasts erupt across the waves. A man with a stern expression stares in shock, exclaiming, "WHAT AN EXPLOSION!" The Going Merry is tossed violently in the turbulent waters, its sail billowing as someone aboard screams "UWAAAA!" Smoke and debris fill the air near a distant city on the water. In the foreground, a figure wearing goggles lies sprawled on the sand after being thrown by the blasts. Nami appears on the right, eyes wide with panic, shouting "LUFFY! USOPP!!" as the chaos continues around them.

Usopp lies on the ground, battered and laughing weakly with "HEH... HEH..." as smoke drifts around him. Nearby, the Going Merry sails forward with Luffy, Chopper, and others aboard. Luffy stares ahead in awe and yells, "I SEE AN ISLAND!!" Chopper sweats nervously while Luffy continues, "WOW--- AWESOME!! WHAT KIND OF ISLAND IS IT!I" The ship cuts through the waves toward a massive island fortress as Luffy declares, "HAHAH HAHAH!!! LET'S GO THERE~ GOING MERRY~ FULL SPEED AHEAD~!!" The chapter ends with the One Piece logo.
