## One Piece Chapter 709, pages 0-1: King Punch!! - Chapter: 709 - Pages: 0-1 - Characters: Caribou, Gabull, Bartolomeo, Hack, Monkey D. Luffy, Gatz ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 709 is titled "King Punch!!" The cover story reads: "Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World - Volume 28 - Run away quickly, Gabull, you can't fight any longer." The cover continues Caribou's mistaken-identity cover serial, showing the Gabull situation escalating as the plea to flee frames him as a man being pushed into danger. Page 1: The aftermath of Bartolomeo's invisible defense leaves Hack defeated on the stone. The audience screams as the fish-man fighter goes down: "...!! Hack has been beaten!!" and "Kyahh." Luffy, still watching from the contestants' side, can only stare and ask, "What was that?" The announcer identifies the fallen man clearly as "Fishman Karate master, '100th Degree Black Belt Hack'!!" Even people who had supported Bartolomeo are disgusted by the result because Hack seems to have lost to something they cannot see or understand. One spectator complains, "Even though we were supporting him, he lost to that chicken-headed bastard!!" Another warns the commentator, "Gats-san, you've got to report this without bias!!" The battlefield keeps thinning while confusion spreads: "It's still hard to say who the winner will be!!" and "24 contestants remain in B-block!!" Bartolomeo's victory over Hack changes the mood from simple violence to fear of an unknown ability.
