## One Piece Chapter 257, pages 3-4: DIAL BATTLE - Chapter: 257 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Gan Fall, Satori ### Summary 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!!!" Page 4: The smoke clears on the deck. Sanji is sitting up, recovering from being blown backward. Usopp and Nami peek cautiously over the railing. Gan Fall sits calmly amidst the scattered splinters of the destroyed barrel. A close-up shows the dial resting on the deck, emitting small wisps of smoke. Gan Fall explains, "IT ABSORBS AND STORES ENERGY FROM IMPACTS TO BE RELEASED LATER. WAS AN 'IMPACT DIAL.' WHAT YOU SAW..." Sanji sits on the deck, looking down thoughtfully. He recalls the fight with Satori, the meatball priest, who used a similar device hidden under his glove. Sanji thinks, "THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM A MERE PUNCH. THIS IS AN 'IMPACT'!!!" He says aloud, "...YEAH... THAT MEATBALL PRIEST WAS USING THE SAME THING... REMIND YOU OF SOMETHING? EH, USOPP, DOESN'T THAT..." Gan Fall elaborates, "THEY ARE USUALLY FIXED TO THE PALM UNDER A GLOVE OR A BANDAGE. A DIRECT HIT IS ENOUGH TO KILL A NORMAL PERSON."
