The fight between Sanji and Mr. 2 Bon Clay continues. Sanji leaps high into the air, his leg extended, and delivers a brutal kick directly to Mr. 2's face. Blood and spit fly from Mr. 2's mouth as his head snaps back from the impact. Sanji shouts his attack name, "LONGE! (loin)". Mr. 2 cries out "UGAHH!" and "BFFAH!" as he is struck.

Sanji relentlessly continues his combo attack on Mr. 2 Bon Clay. He spins and lands a powerful kick to Mr. 2's lower ribs, shouting "TENDRON! (lower rib)". Mr. 2 reels from the blow, his face contorted in pain. Without pausing, Sanji follows up with a sweeping kick to Mr. 2's side, yelling "FLANCHET! (flank)". The force of the strike sends Mr. 2 flying backward, skidding across the ground. Sanji lands another hit with a sharp "UN!".

Sanji's barrage of kicks shows no signs of stopping. He strikes Mr. 2 Bon Clay in the back, shouting "DEUX! QUASI! (rump)". Mr. 2 is knocked forward, but Sanji immediately follows up with a devastating kick to his lower back or tailbone, yelling "ORAA! QUEUE! (tail)". The impact creates a shockwave, sending Mr. 2 crashing face-first into the stone pavement, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and debris.

Sanji presses his advantage, delivering a fierce downward kick to Mr. 2 Bon Clay's thigh, shouting "KURAA! CUISSEAU! (thigh)". He immediately follows with another powerful strike to the same area, yelling "DORYAA! JARET! (thigh)". The sheer force of the blows drives Mr. 2 into the ground, sending him skidding violently across the sandy street of Alubarna. Both fighters are shown heavily battered and panting, with Sanji muttering "NGHH" and Mr. 2 groaning "NGHH" as they push themselves to their limits.

Sanji delivers a massive, finishing kick to Mr. 2 Bon Clay's chest and chin, shouting "VEAU SHOT! (veal shot)". The incredible impact sends Mr. 2 launching backward through the air. However, mid-flight, Mr. 2 manages to right himself. Spinning rapidly, he prepares a counterattack, yelling "BOMBARDIER ARABESQUE!". He hurtles back toward Sanji, aiming a powerful kick of his own.

A massive explosion of dust and debris erupts as the two fighters clash, accompanied by a loud "GYYAAAAAA!". When the smoke clears, Sanji is shown kneeling on the ground, heavily injured and panting, saying, "I'm... I'm beat..." Mr. 2 Bon Clay lies flat on his back nearby, defeated but still conscious. He groans, "Ugh, you're STILL breathing?" Sanji replies, "What's wrong? If you change into Nami now, I won't be able to finish you off..." Mr. 2, unable to move, answers, "Hah... Ridiculous... I can't even move anymore... What good would come from cowardly avoiding my fate...? Go ahead...! You've won... Kill me already!"

SanjiMr. 2 Bon Clay

Mr. 2 Bon Clay lies defeated on the ground, yelling at Sanji, "I said finish me off already! What're you just standin' around for!? I'm already fated to be rubbed out by my organization..." Suddenly, Sanji extends his hand toward Mr. 2. Mr. 2 looks up in shock, a "!!?" escaping him. Sanji, battered but standing tall with a cigarette in his mouth, looks down at him and says, "It was a good match... There's no need, for further words..."

Mr. 2 Bon Clay is moved to tears by Sanji's gesture. Crying heavily, he says, "Gahaha... This is... Without a doubt, proof of camaraderie born between rivals...! I... I mustn't cry!" However, instead of helping him up, Sanji swiftly snatches Usopp's stolen goggles from around Mr. 2's neck. Sanji turns and walks away, saying, "See ya. I'm takin' back these goggles..." Mr. 2, left lying on the ground, angrily shouts, "GAHH! SO HE DID FINISH ME OFF!"

Sanji walks away from the battlefield, adjusting his suit jacket. A narration box declares: "Winner: Sanji. Prize: A small piece of friendship. Alubarna Southern Block, Battle at Polka St." Sanji mutters to himself, "Looks I broke some bones again... Son of a..." The scene then shifts to the Alubarna Palace. The Alabasta Royal Guards are frantically preparing their defenses. One guard shouts, "PREPARE AS MUCH GUNPOWDER AS WE HAVE!" Another guard looks worried, asking, "What will become of Alabasta's history...!?" A third guard adds, "I can't believe we're seriously doing this..."

At the Alubarna Palace, the Royal Guards stand in formation. A guard reports, "The preparations will soon be complete. Please wait a little longer." Inside, Chaka and Princess Vivi are discussing the dire situation. Chaka looks downcast, saying, "I'm at a loss, as to how to explain the current situation if his highness were here right now..." Vivi reassures him, "It's fine, we understand. You had no choice but to respond to the rebel threat... You've done a commendable job in quelling unrest for the past two years without Igaram..."

Vivi continues her conversation with Chaka, looking determined but sorrowful. "I'm sorry too, for leaving this country all of a sudden......But it's not over yet! Even if we manage to stop the rebels, as long as that man remains alive... This country will never see peace!" Chaka looks at her with resolve and says, "I... I just hope they're all alive and well... YOU HAVE TO SURVIVE NO MATTER WHAT! SO NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY OF US HERE, YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE ON...! Princess Vivi."

Chaka smiles slightly as he speaks to Vivi. "In the two years since you've been gone, you've changed so much for the better. I would love to invite your pirate friends to a banquet after this is all over, and learn what kind of people they are." Vivi remembers Luffy demanding, "ONCE I KICK CROCODILE'S ASS, FEED ME 'TIL I EXPLODE. FEED ME." She smiles and says, "Chaka..." Suddenly, a panicked guard bursts in, shouting, "COM-MANDER CHAKA! H-HE'S IN THE PALACE!" Chaka is startled, "Hm!? WHAT IS IT!?" An ominous voice echoes from off-screen, "My, my, how troublesome..." Vivi looks on in absolute shock.

Crocodile strides confidently toward the palace entrance, his large coat billowing behind him. He smirks and says, "Your actions are quite unbecoming of a princess, Ms. Wednesday... This palace will soon be my home, you know...? Palaces are wondrous places... Kuhahaha! There's no better place to look down on the filthy rabble...!" Vivi stares in horror, screaming his name, "CROCODILE!" Chaka glares at the Warlord, sweating and gritting his teeth in anger.

The scene shifts to the Alubarna Northern Block, Medi Diet Hall. A narration box reads: "Mr. 1 & Ms. Double Finger vs. Roronoa Zoro & Nami". Zoro is running through the streets, looking frustrated. "DAMN IT! Where'd that idiot go now!? This is EXACTLY why I told her to just shut up and hide somewhere! God, can that girl ever do anything BUT be a nuisance!?" Suddenly, he hears Nami scream, "KYAAAA!" Zoro reacts, "That scream came from over there! Looks like I finally found her." He runs past two members of the Super Spot-Billed Duck Troops, calling out, "Hey, you two! Help me look for h-"

Zoro abruptly changes direction, running up a flight of stairs and shouting, "Alright, I'll take a short-cut!" One of the ducks looks confused, quacking, "QUACK!?" Meanwhile, Nami is sprinting for her life down the street, tears streaming down her face as she screams, "NOOOOOOO! GOD, WHAT THE HELL IS KEEPING THAT DUMB SWORDSMAN!?" Walking calmly behind her are the Baroque Works agents, Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger. Mr. 1 states coldly, "Assassins' rule no. 1: Eliminate targets, starting from the weakest." Miss Doublefinger smiles confidently, adding, "Let's show them, how real pros work."

This is an SBS Question Corner page. The header reads "SBS" with a drawing of a character. The text introduces a game from a reader: "It's game time!! This is a game from 'Curling Eyebrow' in Kyoto!! It's a difficult problem that you can't solve unless you've read the manga very well. Who's the 'culprit'?! Don't worry about that. Use your head!! I thought up a game, Odacchi!! Try to reason out who everyone is talking about based on their testimony!! Can you figure it out? Just who could the criminal be!?" Testimonies are given by characters with black bars over their eyes. Usopp says, "He's nicer than he looks at first!" Chopper says, "We get along pretty well." Vivi says, "I really do have to apologize for causing him so much trouble..." Zoro says, "He's an odd one." Sanji says, "Haha, I almost thought he wasn't human when I first saw him!" Luffy says, "I want to give him some water for some reason!" Nami says, "He gave us something very precious." A silhouette of the mystery character is shown with a question mark.
