Chapter 480 summary
Oars lies smashed into the ruins but rises again despite his injuries, sending the shadowless victims into panic as they realize Moria alone can return their shadows and morning approaches. Zoro steps forward battered but ready, followed by Robin, Brook, Franky, Sanji, Chopper, Nami, and Usopp, who reveal they have prepared an interception rather than fleeing. Robin creates leg footholds for Luffy to climb while Nami summons rain over Oars, Franky freezes it with cold air from an emergency pipeline, and Sanji releases the helm chain to bind the giant in place. Zoro strikes with Santouryuu Sanzen Sekai to force Oars's spine straight and remove any shock absorption. Luffy inflates with Gear Third Bone Balloon, launches forward, and begins his attack as Oars attempts a counter bazooka but finds his arm immobilized by the trap. The crew and victims watch as Luffy completes the technique. Oars's body takes the full unmitigated impact of the Giant Bazooka.
