## One Piece Chapter 257, pages 2-3: DIAL BATTLE - Chapter: 257 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Gan Fall ### Summary Page 2: Sanji swings the heavy mallet down with all his might, striking the shell on the barrel directly. A starburst impact effect appears with a "!!?" sound. Sanji looks at the mallet in confusion, noting, "I SWUNG AS HARD AS I COULD. I THOUGHT IT'D BREAK INTO PIECES." He adds, "HUH?" Gan Fall observes, "STRANGE..." Nami scolds Sanji, "...I TOLD YOU GENTLY, BUT NOT THAT GENTLY..." Usopp points out, "YOU DIDN'T EVEN DAMAGE THE BARREL..." Nami has a question mark above her head. A close-up shows the shell sitting completely intact on the barrel, with small wisps of smoke rising from it. Gan Fall explains, "IT'S AS IF THIS DIAL... ABSORBED ALL THE IMPACT SOMEHOW..." Page 3: Gan Fall continues his instructions to Sanji, "AND PRESS THE PART YOU'RE FACING... NOW AIM THE OPEN SIDE OF THE DIAL AT THE BARREL..." Usopp and Nami watch with nervous anticipation, saying, "EH!!?" Sanji holds the dial in his hand, aiming it at the barrel, and presses the back of it. Suddenly, a massive, violent explosion of force erupts from the dial, completely obliterating the barrel into splinters. The blast is accompanied by a loud "BOOM!!" sound effect. Sanji is caught off guard, exclaiming "!!?" as the sheer force of the blast sends him flying backward. He crashes hard onto the wooden deck of the ship with a loud clatter. Usopp and Nami scream in terror, "GYAAAA-AAAH!!!" and "KYAAH!!!" as debris flies everywhere. Usopp, despite his fear, yells, "WOW!!!"
