Summary:
After damaging Daisens, Luffy defeats Krieg and destroys his golden armor. The Krieg pirates withdraw from Baratia under Gin’s instructions and thank Sanji for his hospitality.
After Luffy damages Daisenso, he continues his attack against Krieg. At one point, Krieg climbs a mast where Luffy hits him with the Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, shattering Krieg’s armor. Although Krieg tries to dissuade him with explosives, Luffy hits Krieg with a second Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, shattering the armor.
Krieg captures Luffy in a net, intending for them both to fall into the sea and Luffy to drown. Luffy manages to do this by freeing his limbs, grabbing Krieg’s face with his feet, and slamming him into Baratie’s fin with Gomu Gomu no Ozuchi, knocking him unconscious and defeating him. Luffy falls into the sea, but Sanji saves him and brings him to safety.
However, Krieg gets up, now hysterical from his own defeat, and attacks his own men in a panic. Gin slams him back down, knocking him unconscious again and preventing him from causing further damage. He escorts Krieg away and orders a full retreat on behalf of Krieg’s pirates, promising to rebuild his crew and eventually meet up with Luffy’s crew on the Grand Line. Sanji gives Baratia a supply ship for the defeated pirates to retreat to.
On the Going Merry, Nami laments having to steal the ship, but cries, expressing her desires to be free and mentioning Bell-mère.
