## One Piece Chapter 480, pages 13-15: Interception - Chapter: 480 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Luffy, Oars, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Brook ### Summary Page 13: Luffy inflates his bones with Gear Third and calls out the technique: "Gear Third"!! "Bone Balloon." His body expands as his arm becomes gigantic, and someone warns from below, "Be careful!!" Luffy grins despite the danger and shouts, "I'm really going to throw you!! It's fine!! I'm made of rubber!!!" The crew launches him forward with a violent "Ba ba!!" Oars, still trapped by the chain, looks up with a startled "Hm?" Then the next order comes: "Zoro!!! Make Oz pull in his stomach!!!" Zoro answers without hesitation, "Leave it to me." He sets his stance and begins the secret technique: "Santouryuu." With three swords ready, he prepares to cut into Oars's line of movement so that the giant cannot cushion the impact the way he did before. Page 14: Zoro strikes through the opening with the three-sword technique "Sanzen Sekai"!!! The attack tears across Oars and forces the giant's body into the exact shape the plan requires. Oars reacts with a shocked "!!?" as the chain bites into him and the damage fixes his posture. Zoro, still moving with the helm's chain, calls, "Now!? Here we go!!" Oars groans, "Uncohh!" while the restraint pulls his torso. The purpose of the attack is not simply to wound him; it is to straighten his spine and remove the protection his zombie body had been using to absorb shocks. By combining Zoro's cut with Sanji's chain setup, the Straw Hats turn Oars's own enormous body against him and prepare the straight path Luffy needs for the finishing blow. Page 15: The plan's logic is explained as Oars's posture is forced straight. Someone shouts, "Good, Sanji!! Now Oz's spine is totally straight!!!" A victim asks, "What are they doing!?" and another realizes, "That's...!!" Zoro explains the weak point: "A human spine is naturally curved so that it softens shocks. If the spine is straightened out... The force isn't mitigated, and all the damage is taken!!!" Nami cheers, "Go, Luffy!!" and Brook adds, "Best of luck!" Oars, still a zombie, cannot understand pain but he is about to suffer the full structural impact. He tries to answer with his own giant technique, shouting, "Eat this super large bazooka!!" and winding both huge arms back. Luffy mirrors him, beginning, "Gomu Gomu..." while Oars roars, "Haa... as if...!! I'll give you a bazooka!!!"
