Chapter 461 summary
Luffy, Chopper, and Robin reach the dance hall and confront Hogback, who is startled to see them. Chopper demands to face Hogback alone while Luffy continues toward the freezer, and Robin blocks Cindry's plate attacks to let him pass. Luffy runs down a long corridor and encounters Oars blocking the way. At the bridge, Oars smashes the structure and accidentally creates a new crossing that Zoro, Sanji, and Franky use to reach Perona's room. Perona releases Negative Hollows that overwhelm the three fighters with despair, but the ghosts have no effect on Usopp. Usopp declares he will handle Perona and the zombies while the others rescue Nami and Brook. At the church, Absalom answers the vows for Nami and leans in to kiss her as the officiant directs.
