Summary:
As Luffy continues to fight Moria and Oars, a number of mysterious figures go to where the Straw Hats are defeated, noting that they have severe injuries and one of them is reduced to bones (not knowing about Brook and his conditions) and calling them comrades. their “ray of hope”. Nami and Usopp, not knowing what the mysterious figures are planning, agree to get there. The characters are revealed to be Lola and the Rolling Pirates, who were moving the Straw Hats to safety. Since they were taking extra care of those who had their shadows taken, Lola says they are counting on Nightmare Luffy.
Meanwhile, Vesla is still defeated by Nightmare Luffy. Witnessing the entire battle, the Thriller Bark zombies are surprised to see Oars, dubbed by them as a “demon”, and his giant body being beaten, even though their lord Gecko Moria currently resides in Oars’ stomach.
Back at the palace, Lola and the Rolling Pirates explain Luffy’s current state to Nami and Usopp, apologizing for suddenly putting all their hopes and powers into Luffy, further explaining that he only has 2 or 3 minutes left in this state. As Lola comments that dawn isn’t far off and that these next few minutes will decide their fate, Nightmare Luffy continues his merciless attack on the oars, throwing him back into the palace. As the Oars prepare to attack Nightmare Luffy with the Gomu Gomu no Bullet, Nightmare Luffy uses his sword to counter the attack by slashing the oars across his chest (one of the shadows in Luffy is that of an experienced naval swordsman). Moria, who wonders why the oars are being beaten by a lone pirate and if he should leave his stomach for now, is then hit directly in the face by Nightmare Luffy’s Gomu Gomu no Pistol, the impact knocking the oars back as well.
As Luffy runs out of time on his nightmare, he continues to fight Oars’ Gomu Gomu no Ono and eventually tries to take down the giant and Moria with Gomu Gomu no Storm. As Oars crashes into the palace, seemingly knocked out along with Moria, shadows begin to emerge from Luffy. With Luffy lying on the ground, clearly exhausted, Lola and the Rolling Pirates announce the defeat of Oars and Moria and that Thriller Bark has fallen.
