Chapter 11 summary
Zoro stands victorious after slicing Buggy apart, but the Buggy Pirates laugh instead of panicking. Luffy calls from his cage for release while Nami questions the crew's reaction, and Zoro finds the bars too thick to cut without a key. A floating hand suddenly stabs Zoro from behind, and Buggy reassembles his body using the powers of the Chop-Chop Fruit. Luffy insults Buggy by calling him big nose, enraging the captain, who launches his hands forward in attack. Zoro spins the cannon toward Buggy and fires it after a brief retreat, creating a massive explosion that destroys the building and scatters the crew. Nami agrees to help light the fuse as Zoro holds the cannon in place, and the blast allows a momentary escape. Zoro lifts the iron cage with Luffy inside despite his bleeding wound and begins carrying it away while Nami follows. Buggy's crew realizes the cage and its key have vanished as Zoro runs off with the load.
