He smiles smugly, showing off his armor. "AND MY IRON DEFENCE, HAS GOT QUITE THE FASHION SENSE." Monkey D. Luffy is watching the scene from a distance. Pearl notices him looking away. "AIN'T I STYLISH? WHAT'S WITH HIM?" Annoyed, Pearl swings a spiked ball on a chain towards Luffy. "STRAWHAT! YOU'LL GET HURT IF YOU LOOK AWAY IN A FIGHT!" Page 22: Pearl throws the heavy spiked ball directly at Luffy. "DIE!" Luffy quickly dodges the attack by jumping high into the air. "AGH!" He lands safely on the ship's mast, clinging to it. "OOF!" Page 23: Sanji suddenly appears and launches a powerful kick at Pearl's guarded body. "ALRIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH TALK FROM YOU. I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY TO FIGHT ME WITHOUT GETTING HURT!" Pearl withstands the impact with his shields and boasts, "I CAN EVEN WITHSTAND A DIRECT BLAST FROM A BATTLESHIP CANNON! NO MATTER THE ATTACK, I'M IMPENETRABLE!" Sanji lands another kick on Pearl's shield. "ACK!"
