Chapter 83 summary
At Arlong Park the defeated Momoo lies unconscious after crashing into the wall, leaving the villagers and fishmen stunned by the destruction. Sanji, Luffy and Zoro face the crew while Arlong fumes in his chair. Hatchan blasts black ink over Luffy, who remains stuck in the pavement, then hurls a boulder at him, but Sanji kicks it aside. Hatchan next attacks Luffy with swords only for Zoro to block and begin fighting him. Luffy's stretched body snaps back and knocks Sanji and Zoro down before Usopp draws Chew away with a Flame Star and flees. Luffy stretches an arm to strike Arlong, who catches the fist, bites the hand and hurls Luffy and the attached stone block into the deep pool. Sanji moves to dive in but Zoro stops him, declaring they must first defeat the fishmen on land. Underwater Luffy sinks rapidly, feeling his strength drain away.
