## One Piece Chapter 403, pages 4-6: Mr. Kishido - Chapter: 403 - Pages: 4-6 - Characters: Sanji, Kalifa, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 4: Kalifa makes her advantage plain. "Something like that would be 'one blow,' wouldn't it?" she says as Sanji is knocked backward. He hits hard enough to cry, "Owwie!" and "Orrrghh!!!" but still refuses to answer with a kick of his own. Kalifa rises with "Geppou," stepping through the air above him, and Sanji can only shout, "NGGG!!! You fiend~~!!!" The impact comes down with a brutal "Thump!!" It is not that Sanji cannot move; it is that the one move that would save him is the one thing he will not do. Page 5: Kalifa pins the fight beneath her heel. "I just crushed you with my leg...!!!" she says before shifting into "Shigan." Her finger pistol shoots toward Sanji as she declares, "You lost. Now gimme the..." But Sanji vanishes from under her hand fast enough to startle her: "He's so fast...!!" Kalifa answers with "Rankyaku," sending cutting arcs through the room. Sanji twists and survives, grunting "Ugh!!!" and "Whoa!!!" as the slashes tear past him. His speed proves he has not been beaten physically, but every dodge makes the same problem clearer: he can escape, block, and endure, yet he still will not attack her. Page 6: Kalifa sees through him. "You're a pirate... yet a terrible coward," she says, because his threats have no force behind them if he will not hit a woman. Sanji flares up, "Hey, shut up!!! Just give me the key!!!" Kalifa is finished playing along: "I've had enough of your empty threats. If you don't counter-attack... you won't survive it." Sanji still tries to talk his way to Robin's key instead of breaking his rule. Kalifa closes in and says, "Let's do something fun..." The danger becomes personal: she is not merely guarding the key, she is exposing the contradiction at the center of Sanji's chivalry.
