Chapter 61 summary
Gin leaps into the air and swings his iron ball tonfa at Sanji, who blocks the blow with his leg while lying on the deck. Sanji counters with a handstand kick that sends Gin crashing to the ground, prompting shock from the Krieg Pirates and commentary from Don Krieg about Gin's merciless nature as the battle commander. Sanji struggles to his feet and taunts Gin, who rises again as Luffy spots an opening and leaps toward Krieg. Krieg fires spears from his shield at Luffy, who dodges most of them but falls toward the ocean before grabbing the mast and yelling at Krieg. Gin stands over the injured Sanji and prepares to deliver a final blow, but Sanji blocks it with his leg despite the cracking sound and pain. As Gin raises his tonfa once more, he suddenly stops with tears streaming down his face and declares he cannot kill Sanji. Krieg demands an explanation, and Gin sobs that no one has ever treated him with such kindness before.
