At last, Chopper and Brook faced off against the Seventh Division Commander, Rakuyo, and the Fifteenth Division Commander, Fossa.
Lina had some impression of Rakuyo: a man with yellow dreadlocks like a lion's mane, wielding a spiked ball and chain. During the Summit War, after Luffy had rescued Ace from the execution platform and broken through the encirclement, Rakuyo and Izo had led their men to provide backup.
