## One Piece Chapter 257, pages 0-2: DIAL BATTLE - Chapter: 257 - Pages: 0-2 - Characters: Wapol, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Gan Fall ### Summary Page 0: The title page shows Wapol standing in front of a large, elaborate toy shop. He has a wide, toothy grin and is wearing a dark outfit with a furry white coat. A sign above the entrance reads "TOY SHOP". The caption at the bottom says "WAPOL'S SNACK BANSAI VOL. 19: THE NEWLY-EXPANDED WAPOL TOYSHOP!" The chapter title is "Chapter 257: 'DIAL BATTLE'". Page 1: The Going Merry is docked in the forest of Upper Yard. An off-screen voice says, "BECAUSE THE CITIZENS OF THE BLUE SEA ARE QUITE INCAPABLE OF SKY COMBAT." Another voice asks, "SKY COMBAT?" The first voice continues, "WHEN WE FIRST MET, I PRESENTED MYSELF TO YOU AS A MERCENARY..." On the deck of the ship, Sanji stands holding a large wooden mallet, looking at a barrel with a small shell placed on top of it. Gan Fall sits nearby, instructing him. Nami and Usopp watch closely. Gan Fall says, "YOU WILL KNOW SOON ENOUGH. TRY TO BREAK THAT SHELL." Sanji asks, "WHAT IS THIS THING FOR?" Gan Fall replies, "NOW, WATCH CLOSELY." Sanji winds up to swing the mallet. Usopp panics, yelling, "WAIT-!! DO YOU HAVE TO SWING SO HARD!!?" Sanji calmly says, "...WELL, HERE I GO..." Usopp shouts, "DON'T SAY THAT JUST 'CAUSE THIS AIN'T YOUR SHIP...!!!" Sanji tells him, "HIT IT AS HARD AS YOU CAN." Usopp threatens, "DO IT GENTLY, SANJI!! IF YOU MAKE A HOLE IN THE DECK, I'LL KILL YOU!!!" 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..."
