Short Summary
Thriller Bark is still afloat, but everything on it is destroyed. Kuma starts walking towards Luffy and grabs him, but is immediately stopped and cut on the shoulder by Zoro. The shoulder appears to have metallic parts, before Kuma shoots a laser beam at Zoro which explodes as it makes contact with the ground. Kuma reveals that he is a Pacifista, a superior type of cyborg. Zoro begs for Kuma to spare Luffy's life and take his instead. Sanji wakes up and comes to Kuma insisting that his life should be the one taken. Zoro takes Sanji with a fast strike and Kuma agrees to not take Luffy's life. He repels all of Lufffy's pain and fatigue into a giant paw-shaped sphere. Zoro enters it before everyone wakes up and Luffy feels better. Sanji goes out to search and finds Zoro covered in blood.

Long Summary
Thriller Bark is still floating, but everything on the island is destroyed due to Kuma's earlier attack. Kuma passes by all of the knocked out pirates, stopping at where Luffy was at. He grabbed Luffy up, but Zoro came out and cut his shoulder, which was made of metal. Kuma then shoots a lazer at Zoro the first which he dodges and explodes the ground, and shoots again and hits him. Kuma then reveals that he is a Pacfista created by the world government, a surperior cyborg in comparison to Franky. Zoro has no idea what that is, so Kuma goes on to explain what a Pacifista is, saying that they were made by the scientist Dr. Vegapunk, and made advancements that others would have made 500 years later.

Zoro asks why he must kill Luffy, and he says it's his best offer. So begs Kuma to kill him instead of Luffy, and Kuma asks him why he would give up his ambition (to be the world's best swordsman) and die in Luffy's place how would his ambition be satisfied. Zoro responds by saying Luffy must become the Pirate King. Sanji then comes in and says that Zoro is an idiot and you should kill me if someone must die. Then Zoro knocks Sanji out, and Sanji calls him a bastard for it before fainting. Kuma then warns Zoro that he's about to expierence hell, and takes out all of Luffy's pain and fatigue. Zoro takes a small amout of it, screaming out in pain, but gets back up to choose a different place to take all of the pain. Kuma then comments about how amazing Dragon's son is to have such great companions. Sanji and everyone else wake up to find Kuma gone and Luffy better and cheer about it, but Sanji goes off to find Zoro extremely wounded and he won't tell anything to Sanji.
