Luffy, Kuro, Black Cat Pirates ### Summary Page 1: The aftermath of Luffy's final headbutt fills the page. Kuro's body is flipped and driven into the rocky ground, his limbs splayed from the impact.

Page 2: Luffy's powerful stomp drives Kuro face-first into the rocky ground, shattering the earth beneath him and sending debris flying. The impact lands with a heavy "THUD THUD...". The Black Cat Pirates watch from a distance, completely dumbfounded by the sight of their captain being crushed. They mutter in disbelief, "HE DID IT, CAPTAIN KURO WAS..." "HE..." "EVEN A SHIP OF MARINES WEREN'T ABLE TO DEFEAT THE '100 PLANS KURO'" "HE REALLY...". A close-up shows Kuro lying motionless on the cracked ground, his glasses askew and his face buried in the dirt. The pirates exclaim, "HE REALLY BEAT HIM!" and then shout at Luffy, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!!!?".
