The chefs who had swum far enough from Baratie's restaurant began to surface themselves.

They could see the smoke from the poisonous gas still hovering around the restaurant.

"Truly a lunatic, I never thought he would use poison gas to fight."

"He's the devil..."

"Yes, a human would not do such a thing!"

"Is the boss, Sanji, and the others okay?"

"No idea, look at the smoke the poisonous gas is starting to disappear!"

At the sight of the smoke from the poisonous gas had already disappeared completely. Tanaka can clearly see the surrounding situation.

The first sight Tanaka saw was Gin wearing a protective mask on Sanji while he did not wear the protective mask given by Tanaka.

"Basic stupid! Why does he still insist on obeying the orders of the person who wants to kill you? Do you have the same debt of gratitude Don Krieg had to act like that?" Think Tanaka.

"Gin, why aren't you wearing a protective mask?" Ask Luffy.

Gin's face was in a lot of pain because of the poisonous gas entering his body. Moments later he immediately vomited blood and slumped backwards.

"Gin!" Shouted Luffy and Sanji.

Sanji held onto Gin's body which was already completely dying.

"Foolishly, did you inhale the poison to save the man who gave you food? Well, I guess fools will never understand before they face death." Don Krieg.

"K-captain ... " Call Gin.

"Gin, you've made a very heavy mistake, respecting people like him!" Sanji said angrily as he looked at Don Krieg.

Tanaka immediately removed the protective mask, heading to where Gin was to check on her condition.

"Tanaka, can you cure him?" Ask Luffy.

Tanaka shook his head. "I don't understand anything about poison. Sorry, Luffy." Tanaka said, bowing his head because he could do nothing to help Gin, who was dying from inhaling toxic gases in large quantities.

"K-captain ... " Call Gin who still respects Don Krieg even though he's been treated that way.

"Be quiet, don't talk much and move, it'll keep the poison from spreading." Tanaka Advice.

"So you're sympathetic to that trash?" Ask Don Krieg.

"Junk, you say?!" Saying the unaccepting Sanji.

"Truly, a fool who lost his purpose and disobeyed my orders means he's no longer useful. There's no guarantee that he won't betray me again. Have I not been kind enough to end his suffering forever?" Don Krieg's.

"Kriegggg!" Shouted Luffy who was very angry.

"How could he say that?Whereas Gin always risked his life for Don Krieg, It's unforgivable!' Thought the rising Tanaka stood up and stood beside Luffy.

"Captain, can I beat him up? I want to silence his mouth with a thousand swords." Tanaka said with a flat face but can be seen the look of anger from my eyes.

"No, I'll do it. You take care of my hat." Luffy orders while giving his straw hat.

"Alright, beat him up so he can't speak anymore, captain!" Tanaka said and then sat down next to Sanji and Gin who were still in pain, even to breathe he looked very difficult.

"If there were coconuts, maybe it would make things better." Tanaka.

"Why?" Ask Sanji.

"Yes, coconut water can neutralize toxins." Tanaka.

"His cruelty..." Patty said suddenly.

"Patty, we have the antidote, don't we?!" Ask Sanji.

"Yes, but that's for those with food poisoning." Answer Patty.

"No problem, just bring it here!" Sanji Pinta.

"Stupid, if you want to save her, put that protective mask on her! It should be in the mask that there is a little antidote. Take him to the second floor and let him get some fresh air. Only then can we save him!" Clearly Zeff.

Sanji then put the protective mask on Gin.

"Hurry up, Patty, Carne!" Sanji Pinta.

"All right I understand, noise!" Patty said she wanted to help Gin.

"Me too?!" Ask Carne.

"Just be free, he'll be tormented for an hour." Don Krieg.

"Don't die, Gin. Don't die in the hands of someone like him! You have to survive, understand?! I'll beat him up!" Said Luffy whose eyes showed anger that could no longer be held back on him.

"Don't, you won't be able to beat him..." Gin said with difficulty.

"Don't talk anymore, the poison will quickly spread." Tanaka. "Please take him with caution, lest he move around much so that the toxins in the body don't spread too much."

"Ah, and drink as much coconut water as possible to neutralize the poison." Tanaka Pinta.

Patty and Carne immediately took Gin to the second floor for treatment.

Meanwhile Luffy who wants to go beat Don Krieg is stopped by Sanji.

"Calm down, he wants to make you attack him rashly, and you'll die!" Say Sanji to Luffy.

"I'm not going to die." Said Luffy who brushed off Sanji's hand holding him and then ran towards Don Krieg. "If you want to kill me, just do it!"

"Oi!" Sanji.

"Free, if it's like that he won't care about anything anymore and also he won't die because he'll be the pirate king." Tanaka made Sanji look at me.

"My captain is very strong, although he is very stupid, but he is indeed very strong, he will not lose to a person like Don Krieg." Praise Tanaka.

"Why are you so sure about her?" Ask Sanji.

"Hmmm, don't know either, I feel like there's something about him that makes me believe in everything he does." Tanaka.

Despite the truth, Tanaka already knew that Luffy would indeed win against Don Krieg.

But regarding something that Luffy has as Tanaka said there is also a point. It is the power of the protagonist who has the power to gain high trust in the people around him and support whatever his actions.

"Basically stupid, the easiest enemy to kill is the one who acts rashly. This sea is hell for you. This ocean is gonna be..." Don Krieg then threw the explosives. "Your grave!"

"My grave?!" Luffy.

Then the explosives that Don Krieg threw exploded causing a wave so that Luffy could not see Don Krieg. Don Krieg then fired a nail bullet at Luffy.

"He's got to!" Said Sanji who saw Luffy hit by a bullet belonging to Don Krieg.

"Good God, the captain is really stupid! Why would he attack so recklessly like that?" Tanaka Ngor.

Luffy then appeared in front of Don Krieg and directly attacked him. But Don Krieg then took out a barbed shield that wrapped around his entire body.

"The coward was protecting his body with a thorny robe! He won't be able to hit her!" Sanji said in a panic.

"The thorny robe or whatever it is, the captain won't care, he'll still hit him, even if his hand is injured and why would Luffy do that? Because he's a stupid captain." Tanaka.

As Tanaka said, Luffy still hit Don Krieg even though his hand was also hit by thorns from the robe worn by Don Krieg.

Don Krieg was knocked down by Luffy with a few loose teeth and bleeding.

"Captain dropped!"

"Who exactly is that boy?!"

"His hand must have hurt a lot. After the fight is over I have to treat him immediately, he is really stubborn!" Tanaka thought with a long sigh.

"This is my grave? Or your grave?" Luffy asked as he pulled out Don Krieg's bullet that stuck in his body. "You think I'm gonna die with a toy like this. Honestly, I don't want to be buried in a cowardly place like this. I'm not gonna die here."

"He's really crazy..." Said Sanji who could say nothing more.

"Indeed, there are sometimes fools who will continue to fight to the death when he has set his goal." Clearly Zeff.

"Fight to death?" Ask Sanji.

"You will be in deep trouble if such a person becomes your enemy. In this fight, win or lose, I like a boy like him." Firm Zeff.

"That's my captain." Tanaka. "Even though he was foolish, careless, and careless, he was still a strong man and would become a pirate king."

"You've been following the right people." Said Zeff who Tanaka replied with a big smile.

Don Krieg's consciousness then returned.

"I won't die here', you say? If you don't die here, then who's the grave?!" Don Krieg then attacked Luffy.

"Of course you are, right?! This will be your grave!" Luffy said while attacking Don Krieg with his legs, causing him to fall again.

"Don was dropped again, what really happened?!"

"Even though, Don Krieg's enemies have never touched his body. Don Krieg is invincible, but he's... Who is that boy exactly?!"

The pirates of Krieg were shocked and confused by what they were seeing at the moment.

While the chefs screamed happily and gave spirit to Luffy.

"He's great!"

"Stop Krieg!"

"Yes, he can do it!"

"There's no doubt the boy could have a balanced fight against Don."

"It's not a dream, is it? Don was defeated by a boy like him."

"Don should be invincible. If it's like this, Don Krieg's legend will..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Don Krieg said furiously as he fused the two shields that were on his shoulders.

The two shields then became a spear and Don Krieg attacked Luffy with his spear which if hit by the spear could cause an explosion.

It was fortunate that Luffy swiftly avoided it.

"Finally he took it out, Don Krieg's strongest weapon. Giant War Spear!"

"Whatis that? It could explode." Ask the surprised Luffy.

"Great as well you can avoid it, boy can't swim! But let's see when you can avoid it." Don Krieg.

"This "Giant War Spear was different. The moment this spear hits your body, you will be blown to pieces!" Said Don Krieg who attacked Luffy again with the spear making Luffy's body thrown because of the effect of the explosion.

"What kind of spear is that?!" Ask a chef.

"I will fall, I will fall, I will fall!" Said Luffy while holding on to the remains of the Krieg Pirates so as not to fall into the sea.

"What the fuck is that spear? The spear exploded every time it hit its target ... What's wrong with my leg?" Ask the confused Luffy.

"Great, this fight has been going on for too long. He's bleeding a lot, he won't last much longer." Said Sanji in a panic.

"He won't lose." Tanaka said with certainty to the look on his face made Sanji turn to him. "I trust Luffy, he won't lose."

Even so, Tanaka also felt worried in him because this was the real world not the world in the manga or anime.

Things could have changed and Luffy could have lost.

"Should I be involved in this fight?" Thought Tanaka who saw Luffy having trouble with his legs.

"It's just that you forced yourself. You must have reached your limit." Said Don Krieg who smiled a grin.

"Damn, with my legs like this. I can't fight at full strength. It's so grim." Luffy said in a panic.

"That Giant Spear of War is really awesome in this fight."

"Yes, that war spear will explode when it hits its target.it seems like only the captain can do it!"

Don Krieg then attacked Luffy continuously with the spear of war. Luffy avoided Don Krieg's attack.

"How strong he is.he can swing both the spear and the disc at once!"

"That's why Don Krieg is called the strongest!"

Luffy just kept dodging Don Krieg's attacks. When Don Krieg's spear hit Luffy, Luffy hung on the spear to avoid the attack.

"Basic brazen gibberish!" Don Krieg said, then he threw Luffy's body hanging from his spear.

Luffy resisted Don Krieg's attack with his fists but there was still an explosion.

"The waiter's boy!" Call Sanji.

Then look at the body of Luffy who was burnt by the explosion. Luffy then rose to his feet again despite a little distress due to his injuries.

"The waiter's boy..."

"Are you okay?!"

"I'm not finished yet. You've pissed me off, I won't let you die that easily." Said Don Krieg who was upset.

"Sial, that brash Krieg has so many weapons. There's no way that servant boy..." Sanji.

"He must have won because he would be the pirate king, this is not the final place for him." Tanaka

"Although he carried hundreds of weapons though, he could be defeated by someone with great determination." Zeff.

Don Krieg again attacked Luffy and Luffy who did not have time to dodge and hit his attack again.

"It's easy." Don Krieg then turned around but then Luffy stood up again. "Now I will make you worthy of my destruction."

"Life or death. In a pirate fight, if you're afraid to die, you'll lose." Zeff.

"What are you talking about, old man?" Ask Sanji.

"At least..." Zeff.

Luffy and Don Krieg attacked each other.

"At least.the boy had no doubts at all in him!" Zeff.

Luffy has been hit by Don Krieg again.

"Is that an instinct to survive? Or is he not afraid to die because he believes in himself?" Zeff asked who was confused by Luffy's actions.

"He wanted to destroy that big spear's eye." Answer Tanaka.

"Destroyed it! How's it?" Ask Sanji.

Tanaka lifted both shoulders. "No idea, the captain has his own way of doing that, despite his extreme means." Tanaka.

"Da-Basic brash!" Don Krieg said as he watched Luffy continue to stand up despite being hit by attacks.

"Yosh, great!"

"But waiter, fight!"

"Stop him!"

"I told you, didn't I? This place will be your grave!" Don Krieg said, then attacked Luffy again, and Luffy was also hit again. "I am the strongest man!"

"Krieg with his fleet as well as hundreds of his weapons. If it was all their strength, the boy also had a weapon. A weapon embedded in his heart. I understand how a fool like that withholds his spear just for stupid reasons." Zeff.

Luffy continued to stand up again despite his body being hit by the explosion from Don Krieg's spear weapon, smiling happily as he managed to get Don Krieg's spear crushed.

"My spear is destroyed?! What fucking kid are you doing?!" Don Krieg asked in surprise when he saw his spear eyes broken.

"I've hit him 5 times. Your spear can't be used anymore. Prepare yourself for me to beat!" Luffy's.

"You're worrying me, stupid captain." Tanaka thought with a smile looking at Luffy. "The end of the fight has already reached the final stage!"
