Luffy, Sanji, Rolling Pirates, Victims, Wild Zombies ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 478 is titled "Luffy Versus Luffy." The opening illustration shows Nami in racing gear, standing with a checkered flag beside a small, strange mount shaped like a round animal-machine hybrid. A small rider figure and a forest road complete the playful race scene. The image does not continue Thriller Bark's battle directly, but it gives the chapter a light cover moment before the story returns to the desperate three-against-Oars fight. Page 1: Only three Straw Hats remain standing before Oars and Moria. Nami sees the ruined battlefield and cries, "It's impossible!! There's no way we can beat him!!" then realizes, "There's only the three of us against that monster...!!" Usopp has no tricks left either: "I agree!! We don't have any more tricks up our sleeves!!" Moria laughs from inside Oars and orders, "Go ahead and crush them, Oz!!" Oars advances, and the crew shouts, "Dwaaa, here he comes!!!" Usopp, staring at the unconscious bodies of his friends, refuses to accept that this is the end. Zoro, Nami, and Brook lie beaten nearby, and Usopp steps toward Zoro with a plan. "Usopp!!" someone calls. Usopp answers, "I'll create an opening...!!" even as Zoro grunts, "Hm?" and another voice asks, "Huh? What!?" Page 2: Usopp creates the opening by baiting Oars with a fake giant hammer gag. Oars notices the trick and says, "Ooh!! I see!! Roger that!!" while Usopp yells, "Gaga!!" Zoro uses the moment to move. He begins, "Santou-Ryuu..." and closes in on Oars's damaged right arm, the target Chopper identified. Oars realizes too late with a confused "Huh!?" as Zoro unleashes "Yasha-Garasu"!!! The slash carves across the stitched arm in crossing cuts, striking exactly at the old frostbite-damaged area. Zoro does not try to defeat the entire monster at once; he follows Chopper's diagnosis and attacks the weakness again, turning the medical insight into sword pressure. Page 3: Zoro's strike bites into Oars's right arm, and the giant roars, "Uoo!!!" Nami sees the effect and asks, "Wah!! He did it!! Did it work!?" Zoro keeps his focus, telling them, "Again and again with the right arm!!" Oars turns furious and growls, "You bastard!!!" Zoro answers with icy certainty, "I keep on telling you, it won't work." He launches another attack, "Tora Gari" - Tiger Hunt - and the blade sweeps into the injured arm again. The entire plan is repetition: no grand finishing blow, only concentrated damage to the same weak joint until Oars can no longer use that arm properly. Page 4: Zoro's follow-up strike leaves deep slashes across Oars's right arm, and the giant lashes out in pain and anger. The blow hurls Zoro through the rubble, and Nami screams, "Zoroo!!!" Even after being cut, Oars is still strong enough to punish anyone who gets close. Usopp shouts from the ground, "Hey!! Over here, Oz!!!" trying to pull the giant's attention away from Zoro. Oars turns toward him with a heavy "!!" and the battlefield becomes a desperate exchange of distractions. Zoro has proven the weak point can be damaged, but the cost is immediate: every attack on Oars requires someone else to risk being crushed. Page 5: Usopp's final chance seems to work. Something flies into Oars's mouth, and the giant pauses, saying, "...?" then, "Something went in my mouth..." Usopp collapses nearby, panting, while Nami asks, "What was that just now...? Usopp...!?" Usopp and the others realize what happened and whisper, "W... we did it!!" Then the hope bursts out of him: "W... we got him to eat the salt!!!" He laughs in triumph because salt is the zombies' weakness. Nami, still not fully understanding, asks, "Salt? What about salt!?" and Usopp explains, "Oh, you didn't know... Salt is the zombies' weakness!!" Oars's mouth hangs open as the crew believes Luffy's shadow is finally about to come out. Page 6: The apparent victory collapses instantly. The salt ball is caught not by Oars's throat, but by Moria's shadow. Usopp cries, "Get purified, you monster zombie!!!" and Oars groans, "Oooh," but the black doppelman rises with the sack labeled "SALT" held safely away. Usopp stares in disbelief: "...!! What!?" Nami realizes, "Why? That's Moria's shadow." Moria laughs, "Kishishishi!! I was protecting his body from inside, you moron." Then he strikes back. The shadow hurls Usopp away and Moria snarls, "You dropped this, long-nose!!!" Usopp is blasted with a "Bluheh!!!" while Nami screams, "Usopp!!!" The last of Brook's hard-won salt is no longer a weapon; it is bait in Moria's hand. Page 7: The crew understands the loss at once. Usopp lies battered, saying only "Bleh!!" while Sanji and the others cry, "Uwah!! The salt!!! The last of the salt that Brook collected!!!" Another voice curses, "Dammit!! Dammit!! That bastard!!" and someone says Moria is...
