Luffy, Rob Lucci, Roronoa Zoro, Kaku ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 416, "ZORO VS KAKU", opens with a cover illustration. Nami stands in a city marked with the words "LOST CHILD," beside a smiling rhinoceros-like animal with birds perched on it. In the background, another small figure holds a paper, while bridges, towers, trees, and scattered birds give the scene the feeling of a strange city search. Page 1: Jyabura lies broken in the rubble after Sanji's finishing blow, his body still smoking with "SIZZLE...!!" Sanji, exhausted and breathing hard, finishes the thought of his attack: "... GOD CREATES FOOD AND THE DEVIL CREATES THE SEA-SONING..." Heat fades from his foot with "SHUU..." and "SIZZLE..." as he looks down at the defeated wolf-man. Then Sanji admits, "I THINK I MIGHT HAVE... SPICED HIM UP A LITTLE TOO MUCH." He walks away through the smashed floor, leaving Jyabura collapsed behind him. Page 2: Sanji looks up through the broken tower as explosions and impacts continue above, realizing, "THE GIRAFFE AND MARIMO... ARE THEY TRYING TO DESTROY THIS TOWER?" He finds a wall marked with arrows and the words "GATES OF JUSTICE" and "SHORTCUT," apparently left as guidance through the chaos. He reasons, "I GUESS NAMI-SAN AND THE OTHERS HAVE ALREADY GONE TO WHERE ROBIN-CHAN IS." Holding the key, he decides, "I, TOO, SHOULD DELIVER THIS 'NO.1 KEY' QUICKLY..." and starts moving again, still breathing hard. Page 3: On the Bridge of Hesitation, Spandam drags Robin forward, both of them panting with "ZEH..." and "HAA..." He boasts, "WE'RE HERE...!! WE'RE ON TOP OF THE 'BRIDGE OF HESITATION'...!!! LOOK, NICO ROBIN." The Gates of Justice are already opening, and Spandam declares, "THE 'GATES OF JUSTICE' ARE ALREADY OPENING. THEY ARE READY TO WELCOME ME!! IT'S BEEN A LONG JOURNEY... BUT ONCE WE PASS THROUGH THE GATES, I WILL BE THE GOVERNMENT'S... I MEAN, I WILL BE THE 'WORLD'S HERO'!!!" The bridge connecting to the other side of the gates rises, and Spandam says, "AND WAITING FOR THE STEPS OF THE HERO!!!" Page 4: The bridge continues to rise with a deep "GUO GUO GUO..." Spandam shouts, "NOW!!! LET'S GO!! WE'RE CROSSING IT, NICO ROBIN...!!!" Robin, still bound and exhausted, can only be pulled onward. Below and elsewhere, allies hurry through debris, someone crying, "HURRY!! HURRY!!! EVERYTHING'S MEANINGLESS IF I DON'T MAKE IT!!" Out at sea, the warships form up while the order comes through: "ALL WARSHIPS, CONFIRM YOUR POSITIONS!!!" Another voice reports, "IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO REACH THE DESTINATION!!" Meanwhile, a blast opens a path through the tower and someone asks, "IS THIS THE EXIT!!?" Page 5: Franky bursts into Luffy and Lucci's battlefield, calling, "STRAW-HAT!!!" Luffy, battered and startled, shouts, "FRANKY!!! WHAT DID YOU COME HERE FOR, BASTARD!?" Franky yells back, "QUIT HATING ME ALREADY!!! I'M YOUR FRIEND NOW. GIVE IT UP!!" Luffy demands, "WHERE IS NICO ROBIN!? I BROUGHT TWO KEYS!!" Franky asks, "ARE YOU HAVING A HARD TIME FIGHTING HIM!?" while Lucci stands in the center of the ruined room, silent beneath the World Government door, as if daring them to try anything. Page 6: Franky offers, "DO YOU NEED A HAND OR TWO!?" but Luffy refuses the help and says, "NO...!! RATHER, PLEASE GO STOP ROBIN!!" Franky explains the route: "YOU CAN GO TO THE GATES OF JUSTICE BY GOING THROUGH THE DOOR BEHIND THE PIGEON GUY!! THEY TOOK ROBIN AWAY ALREADY!!" Luffy replies, "I'LL TRY TO KEEP HIM BUSY WHILE YOU GO FOR THE DOOR!!!" Franky answers with confidence, "SUPER~. LEAVE EVERYTHING TO ME, FOOL!!" Lucci only smiles and says, "FUFU." Page 7: Back in the ruined tower, Zoro and Kaku clash violently. Kaku, in giraffe form, says, "I TOLD YOU... THAT I PREFER MEAT!!!" Zoro answers with contempt, "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT, YOU HERBIVOROUS ANIMAL...!!" Their blows tear through the room as Kaku keeps the key on his person. He thinks, "EITHER WAY, I NEED TO GET THE KEY QUICKLY!! I'D BE A LOSER IF I DON'T MAKE IT IN TIME!!!" Zoro, breathing hard, watches him closely and prepares to force an opening before Robin is taken beyond reach. Page 8: Zoro shifts into "NITOU-RYUU" and "NIGIRI!!!" with both blades leveled in front of him; a note calls it "double slash." Kaku mocks the bandana, asking, "DO YOU GET STRONGER OR SOMETHING IF YOU WEAR THAT WASHCLOTH?" Zoro answers, "MAYBE." He then launches "TOU-ROU!!!"--noted as "tower climbing"--and his twin cuts climb upward toward Kaku, slicing through the wreckage while the giraffe-man reacts in alarm. Page 9: Zoro follows with "OUTOU-ROU!!!" and sends another rising slash into Kaku, the attack labeled as a tower-climbing reply. Kaku is pushed back but immediately counters with "HIRA-MEKI!!!" marked as a flash, slamming down with a sharp impact. Zoro presses in again with "SAMON!!!"--noted as "sand crest"--driving a sweeping slash across the ro...
