Chapter 262 summary
Chopper encounters Gedatsu in the ancient ruins of Upper Yard and realizes the priest has planted swamp cloud traps across the ground. Gedatsu flies using cloud dials in his shoes and hurls swamp cloud burgers that trap victims, but he accidentally engulfs his own subordinate. Chopper pulls the subordinate free, prompting the man to attack Gedatsu with an axe dial, only for Gedatsu to knock him out with a jet punch. Chopper eats a rumble ball and switches between jumping point, heavy point, and guard point to evade attacks while scanning for a weakness. He removes one of Gedatsu's shoes midair, causing the priest to lose balance and fall. Chopper shifts to arm point and charges forward. Gedatsu counters with another jet punch, but Chopper lands a cross strike that sends the priest flying backward in defeat.
