Gear Third Shocks the World
In the New World, aboard the Red Force.
"Hey, Yasopp! Looks like your son can't take too much praise!" the crew teased, looking at Yasopp.
"What the hell is that stupid kid doing?!" Yasopp said with a disgruntled look as he watched Zoro and Usopp, handcuffed together on the screen, with Kaku and Jabra chasing desperately after them.
"Hahaha!" The crew immediately burst into carefree laughter.
In the edited video, the scene shifted elsewhere, this time to Nami.
Kumadori's long hair was wrapped tightly around her, and her face was gradually turning dark. She was clearly close to suffering severe oxygen deprivation.
Just then, the sound of hooves came from nearby. A moment later, Chopper appeared in front of Kumadori and slammed a hoof into his face.
Kumadori cried out in pain and fell, and the long hair wrapped around Nami promptly came loose.
Freed at last, Nami immediately told Chopper to stop fighting him and leave right away.
Chopper protested that they couldn't get the key unless they defeated him!
Nami opened her tightly clenched hand, revealing a key resting in her palm. She had stolen it from Kumadori while his hair was wrapped around her.
Chopper was delighted. He turned and ran with Nami, ready to help their other companions.
On the way, Chopper told Nami that Zoro and Usopp had asked him to find the number two key to unlock their handcuffs.
Nami glanced at the key in her hand and told him it wasn't number two, but number three. They still needed to check with the others.
But they had barely run any distance when someone suddenly fell from above. It was Sanji.
At that moment, however, his whole body was smooth and clean, making him look like a doll.
Above them, Kalifa watched the scene with a smug look.
Nami glanced up at her, then asked Sanji, who was lying on the ground, whether he couldn't beat Kalifa or had deliberately held back because she was a woman.
Sanji told Nami that he had been taught from childhood never to strike a girl. It was a rule that dated back to the age of dinosaurs, and it was also the chivalry he had always upheld.
Nami sighed, at a loss for words, though a trace of approval flashed in her eyes as she looked at Sanji. She then told him to leave Kalifa to her.
Nami headed for the stairs, but she had only climbed a few steps when Kumadori caught up. Chopper immediately volunteered to stop him and told Nami to leave him to Chopper.
At that moment, a few discussion comments appeared on the screen.
{She can turn a normal person into something like a doll. Wh-what kind of power is that?!}
{Judging from the fruit powers of those other two CP9 agents, Kalifa's power should be a Zoan too! But I've never heard of an animal that can turn things into dolls. Could it be a Mythical Zoan?}
{A pirate talking about chivalry? That's just... way too abstract!}
{Sanji's a real man, a tough-as-nails man.}

East Blue, the sea restaurant Baratie.
"Ah, that kid Sanji."
Red-Leg Zeff sighed helplessly. He had never imagined that the lessons he had taught Sanji since childhood would one day cause him so much trouble. Even so, his eyes were full of satisfaction. He was very pleased with the way his son Sanji had conducted himself.
In the New World, the Germa Kingdom.
"Hahaha! That guy Sanji is actually talking about chivalry, something that disappeared tens of thousands of years ago. And he's even telling his enemy about it! He's killing me!" Yonji mocked.
"A failure really is a failure. He's not even as good as an ordinary Germa soldier," Judge said angrily.
"Chivalry, huh? Sanji, you really did inherit Mother's kindness! That's wonderful!" Reiju said softly, her eyes smiling.
In East Blue, Cocoyasi Village, at Genzo's house.
"Nami's become really dependable, hasn't she?" Nojiko said, resting her chin on her hand with a gratified look.
"Hmph! I still don't want to see her fighting. Just thinking about her getting hurt makes me feel awful!" Genzo said indignantly. "If that Straw Hat kid ever makes Nami do something like this again, I'll give him a good beating the next time I see him."
The edited video shifted again, this time to Luffy. He was standing by the sea, troubled as he looked out at the vast expanse of water and the two wildly spinning whirlpools ahead.
Suddenly, a girl and her pet appeared behind him. They were Kokoro's granddaughter Chimney and her pet, Gonbe.
They told Luffy they had found a secret passage, and that Robin and the others had just gone through it.
Luffy immediately asked them to take him to the passage.
With the two leading the way, Luffy arrived in front of a large iron door.
Chimney told him that getting inside required a key and a password.
Luffy said he had no key or password. All he wanted now was to rescue Robin and bring her back to them.
Luffy decided to open the iron door his own way and first told Chimney and Gonbe to move farther away.
Though Chimney and Gonbe didn't know what Luffy was planning to do, they obediently did as he said and hid behind a building some distance away.
Luffy bit his finger and said, "Gear Third!"
As Chimney and her pet watched, a dazzling light flashed, stretching Luffy's shadow out within it.
The next second, a tremendous boom rang out as the iron door was smashed open, sending dust flying everywhere.
But Chimney and Gonbe couldn't see Luffy anywhere in the swirling dust. The girl and her pet hurried over and searched through the rubble.
The next moment, Luffy's voice came from ahead of them, down by their feet. "All right! I'm off!"
"Huh?!"
Chimney and her pet stared at Luffy in shock. "Wh-why did you turn into a little dwarf?!"
Luffy was now shorter than either of them.
