The moment King made his move, he swiftly defeated Ninja Raizo, whose frontal combat ability was relatively weak. Mousse had intended to strike while he had the chance, but after seeing King capture him directly, he decided to change targets. The Roll-Roll Fruit was of limited value, not worth exposing himself for.
Meanwhile, relying on his thick hide and tough flesh, Queen faced Denjiro and Kanjuro alone. The former was naturally giving it everything he had, while the latter looked as though he was doing the same. Yet instead of using his true painting skills to bring his Devil Fruit ability into play, he was merely hacking away with a blade. In the end, he was just slacking off.

Although Denjiro believed Kanjuro to be his companion and was furious to see him captured, dealing with Queen alone was already exhausting enough. He had no strength left to divide
