Shiruku covers her ears and screams in terror, "KYAAAAA!!". Gyari laughs triumphantly, "GYAHAHAHAHAHA!!", believing he has won. However, the bullet hits Luffy's chest, but instead of piercing him, his rubber skin stretches deep inward, absorbing the impact. Luffy grins and flexes his chest, shouting, "FUHN!!!".
