Chapter 100 summary
A mysterious cloaked man with a diamond tattoo on his face stands in the rain and remarks that a pirate is fine too. Buggy rallies his crew to flee the marines but Smoker engulfs them in smoke, captures them in a net, and rides off on his Billower Bike. Usopp and Nami reach the Going Merry where Usopp knocks out Mohji while Richie the lion remains. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji run through the rain toward the ship as marines pursue them. Zoro clashes with Tashigi, defeats her in a duel, and exchanges angry words with her about her resemblance to his late friend before leaving her behind. Luffy and Sanji confront Smoker at the port, but Smoker overpowers both with his smoke attacks and pins Luffy to the ground with his jutte. An unseen hand reaches out and grabs the jutte to halt the blow.
