One Piece Chapter 716: Don Chinjao

00AI-written

Cover page for Chapter 716, "Don Chinjao." The cover story continues as "Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World - Volume 34 - An example will be made of the revolutionary Gaburu's grandmother!!" Scotch and his forces stand over the defeated rebels while the grandmother tied to Gaburu's name is treated as the next public target. This is useful extra continuity for Caribou's cover serial, not part of the main Corrida Colosseum action.

C-block explodes into an all-out brawl after the Funk Brothers' trick is revealed. The announcer says, "Kelly Funk, the assassin from the Mogaro Kingdom, sure is strong!!! Fighters are being blown away like so many pieces of paper!" The crowd wonders why he is suddenly not letting up with these attacks, asking, "What's happened, all of a sudden?" Kelly, now empowered by wearing Bobby, smashes through fighters while the arena loses its orderly rhythm. Sai sees Boo down and calls out, "Boo!!" A spectator says, "Looks like we're getting to the climax of this fierce battle!!" and the announcer declares, "It's the white-hot C-block!!" Sai promises, "Sai...!! Pay back that brat for the pain he's caused Boo!!"

Bobby crawls toward Kelly and begs, "Hurry up and wear me, Bobby!!" while shocked onlookers ask, "What did I just see!?" and realize, "Those two guys became one!!" Kelly laughs in a bizarre rhythm, "Jyake jyake," and the note explains the pun around becoming a jacket. He has eaten the Jyake Jyake no Mi and become a jacket man, able to control whatever wears him. He says that whether animals or monsters wear him, he can take over the body, and that the tough-as-nails body he hijacked is perfect when paired with Bobby's weak demeanor. The brothers' method is grotesque but practical: Kelly supplies fighting sense and cruelty, Bobby supplies the body.

Kelly, now in Bobby's body, declares that even in this body his fighting sense and ferocity can be fully utilized. He tells the arena, "I ate the Jyake Jyake no Mi and became a jacket man!!" and boasts, "Whether animals or even monsters, I can control whatever wears me." Sai understands too late how the body changed hands: "...Ah... and after that, it was over in an instant." Kelly's huge borrowed body closes on him, and the page shows the threat clearly. The Funk Brothers are not simply strong assassins; they combine as a single combatant whose personality and body do not match, using Kelly's brutality inside Bobby's massive frame.

Kelly explains the purpose of the brothers' partnership directly: "Oi, have you understood yet!? We brothers are assassins for hire who combine our power." He insults Sai by calling him "the pathetic elder brother from Kanokuni" who could not even protect his little brother. Sai hears the insult but answers only that Boo's training was insufficient. Kelly calls that harsh, and Sai says he rid himself of any particular affinity for his brother from the moment they became pupils of Hasshoken. Kelly turns the exchange into a performance of violence, chanting "Va-va-va-violence!!!" and "Va-va-va-va-va-va-va!!!" The crowd asks, "So just how strong is Kanokuni's kenpo!?" as Sai prepares to answer through action rather than family sentiment.

Sai moves in as the leader of the Happou Navy, and the page turns into the moment before impact. He closes on the transformed Kelly-Bobby body while blackened blows and footwork tear through the space around them. Kelly's borrowed strength crashes forward, but Sai's stance and timing are steady. The action is nearly wordless, making the sequence depend on the motion itself: Sai uses the principles of Hasshoken to cut through the apparent advantage of the Funk Brothers' combined body. The page shows that Sai is not merely Boo's older brother or a lesser subordinate of Don Chinjao. He is a commander with his own level of force, and the collision proves it.

Sai's kick lands decisively. Kelly screams, "I will have revenge for my fallen comrades!!" but Sai brings him down with one blow. The announcer calls the result: "Sai has shown us the true nature of a commander!!" and, "He brought down that formidable monster Kelly with just one kick...!!" The crowd recognizes the technique: "Strong!!! That's Hasshoken!!" Sai stands over the fallen Funk Brothers, proving that Kanokuni's martial art is not only inherited history but present strength. Kelly and Bobby's trick looked terrifying, yet against Sai's focused strike the combined assassin body collapses. The fight narrows again, with fewer gimmicks and more elite power left standing.

Don Chinjao turns his fury on Luffy. He declares, "You will atone, Strawhat Luffy...!!" and spells out the charge: "For the crime of your grandfather! He stole a great fortune from me!!" Luffy, still disguised as Lucy, answers plainly, "I don't know about any of that, so talk to grandpa!!" Chinjao refuses to treat it as old history. His power and memories spring from his youth, and death would be too mild a punishment for one such as Garp. He says Luffy will live, but Chinjao will make him know the pain of loss. Jean Ango laughs, "Dededede," amused that Garp's grandson is truly the one after all. The grudge against Garp lands directly on Luffy in the middle of the tournament.

Jean Ango keeps trying to expose and strike Luffy. Luffy shouts, "You!! Give me back my helmet!!" as Jean flicks the helmet away and dares him, "Just try and take it...!! If you can make it this far!!" Jean reminds Luffy that he has profited from the past two years thanks to him: he has already collared a bunch of prisoners who escaped from Impel Down because of Luffy's actions. Luffy dodges the incoming weapons with sharp movement, but Jean continues throwing stolen arms as ammunition. The page keeps two threats active at once: Chinjao's old grudge closes in from the front, while Jean Ango tries to strip away the Lucy disguise and attack from range.

Jean Ango announces the scale of his bounty-hunting plan. He says, "I'm eventually aiming to capture the complete Jailbreak crew!!" He will start with Luffy, and then the 1000-piece clown Buggy, son of the sea Jinbe, Sir Crocodile, Okama King Ivankov, and Shiliew of the Rain. He boasts that he has discovered where they are and will capture them all to make a real name for himself. Luffy briefly wonders how Iva-chan is doing, but Jean's attack snaps him back into the ring. Luffy complains, "Shit...!! Why can't I hit you!!" while others ask whether there were more Level 6 escapees. Jean Ango's personal goal connects C-block to the aftermath of Impel Down.

The pressure tightens around Luffy. Jean Ango stands over him with stolen weapons ready while Don Chinjao looms from the other side. Luffy asks for his helmet back, but Jean Ango has already opened the secret far enough to draw more attention. Chinjao moves through the ring with terrifying weight, and the fighters caught between him and Luffy are thrown aside. Luffy, still trying to maintain the Lucy disguise, is forced to dodge rather than answer freely. A blow from Chinjao crushes down through the chaos, and someone cries, "That hurts, you bastard! The ones from earlier too!!" The tournament is no longer a general melee for Luffy; Chinjao and Jean Ango have made him the center of the battle.

Don Chinjao ends Jean Ango's interference in a single motion. A headbutt from the legendary pirate destroys Jean and sends him out of the running. The announcer calls it: "Ring-out!!! Jean the Bandit is out of the running!!" and then, "It was a one-hit KO!!" Chinjao does not slow down. The narration emphasizes that Jean was utterly destroyed by a headbutt from the legendary pirate Don Chinjao, and that old age has not slowed him at all. Weapons clatter around Chinjao's feet while he stands over the battlefield. Jean Ango's plan to capture Luffy and the Impel Down escapees collapses before it begins because Chinjao's revenge takes priority over everyone else's ambitions.

Elsewhere in C-block, the remaining elite fighters give the audience no time to breathe. The crowd shouts for "Ideo!!" and "Sai!!" while the announcer says, "And then there's these guys!! Not giving us even a moment to breathe with their evenly matched bout!!" Sai, the thirteenth leader of the Happou Navy, clashes with the peerless fighter Ideo, who dominates the renowned Central Fighting Club. The announcer says they are in a dead heat. Ideo's explosive punches and Sai's Hasshoken footwork collide again and again, each exchange throwing shockwaves across the ring. The tournament has moved past weak contestants; the fighters left are matching one another at a level that makes the crowd roar.

Sai and Ideo continue trading blows, both breathing hard. The announcer calls it "a desperate struggle between these two great men!!" and says it looks like this is the fight to decide who is strongest in the tournament. The crowd asks, "Are these really our top contenders!!?" but then the focus returns to the real crisis: Chinjao still advances toward Luffy. The crowd yells "Sai!!" and "Ideo!!" as they keep fighting, yet Chinjao's voice cuts through the noise: "Strawhat!! Prepare to die!!!" Luffy decides he cannot win the tournament without answering him and says, "Ok let's do it! Grudge or no grudge... If I don't fight him there's no way to win this thing!!!"

Chinjao barrels through the ring toward Luffy, shouting, "Out of the way!!" Fighters are knocked aside with cries of "Ugaa aaa!!" as he charges. Luffy is caught in the path of the old pirate's rush, while Chinjao orders him to "Move it!!!" and smashes through anyone between them. The page shows the difference between a normal contender's charge and Chinjao's purpose: he is not merely advancing, he is clearing the ring by force. The crowd reacts with open-mouthed shock as the old man tears through fighters, leaving the battle smaller and more dangerous. Chinjao's revenge is physically reshaping C-block around Luffy.

Chinjao finally closes the distance and crashes directly into Luffy's response. The old pirate's massive fist and Luffy's attack meet in a violent collision, sending force through the arena floor. The impact freezes the crowd for a moment: Rebecca, Gatz, and the spectators watch as the two wills collide instead of one fighter simply overpowering the other. Chinjao grins, and Luffy's expression hardens beneath the Lucy helmet. The page is built around the first real clash between them, showing that Luffy cannot dodge this grudge forever. To keep moving through the tournament, he must fight the man who carries decades of hatred for Garp.

The collision detonates across C-block with cracking force, blasting the arena and throwing the remaining fighters outward. The announcer stammers, "In... in C-block...!!" before the result becomes clear: "Only two remain!!!" Luffy and Don Chinjao are left standing, facing one another amid the wreckage. The crowd is stunned by what they have just witnessed, and the page names it directly: "It's a clash of Conqueror's Haki..." The note says the overwhelming power of these two has decided the field. All the complicated fights, tricks, grudges, weapons, and martial arts have been reduced to a final confrontation between Lucy and Don Chinjao.
