Chapter 34 summary
Jango pins Luffy to the ground and hurls his spinning blade pendulum at Nami, but Luffy rises in fury and pulls the embedded weapon from his own head. Luffy turns on the Black Cat Pirates while Nami urges him to finish the fight, and Kuro steps forward to deal with him personally. Kaya arrives at the cliff edge and calls out to stop Clahador, revealing she knows his true identity. She offers him all her money if he will spare the village and then draws a pistol on him. Kuro admits he seeks peace of mind as well as wealth and recounts the three years he spent deceiving her and the villagers. Usopp charges at Kuro, who easily dodges the punch, but Luffy suddenly appears and knocks Kuro to the ground with a powerful blow. Luffy declares he will hit Kuro hundreds more times.
