Chapter 371 summary
Rocketman races across the stormy sea toward the stranded cars from the Puffing Tom. Luffy stretches across the gap to board one of the cars and learns that Sanji and Usopp are not aboard. Zoro draws his swords and slices the obstructing cars cleanly in half so the train can pass through. The crew spots Captain T-Bone running over the waves ahead of them. T-Bone refuses to step aside and attacks with his perpendicular flying bird technique. Zoro counters with his three-sword ox demon style and defeats him in a single clash, sending T-Bone into the sea. The rescued passengers realize T-Bone had pursued the train on foot after the earlier sabotage. Luffy declares they are nearly at Enies Lobby and orders Rocketman to charge forward.
