Volume: 14 Pg.: 107

Straw Hat and animals: Usopp and a giraffe on a canoe.

Quick Summary
Luffy, Usopp and Carue finally arrive to rescue the crew. Luffy begins to fight against Mr. 3 before his friends become candle statues.

Long Summary
With Luffy's arrival, Zoro and Nami are relieved and ask him to destroy the Candle Service poll, but Mr. 3 does not want him to be involved in his art work and tries to catch him like he did with the others. However, Luffy uses the wax on his feet as a hammer and destroys the pillar. Unfortunately, this move does not provide much help, on the contrary the rotating candles start getting closer and the wax's transformation speed is increased. Luffy tries another attack to the Candle service but is stopped by Mr. 3, while Usopp's attacks on Mr. 3 are countered by Mr. 5.

Mr. 3 tries to catch Luffy again, but is only able to get his arm. Luffy, once again, uses his new hammer against Mr. 3 who defends himself with a Candle Wall. Luffy's strength combined with the wax's hardness shatters the wall and Mr. 3 is sent flying away. With their enemies boss defeated, the Straw Hats think that they will soon be free from their wax prison, when Luffy becomes strangely uncooperative.
