The Richie Crew's Adventure Vol. 2: "The Pulverization of the Richie Crew".

The Richie Pirates are quickly defeated by the tribe.

Short Summary
Luffy runs after Don Krieg as he is upset for the way he has treated Gin. Meanwhile, Patty and Carne give Gin extracted antidote from a gas mask, as he is suffering from Krieg's poison bomb.

Don Krieg is amused by Luffy's move and fires several spikes at him from his weapon. Luffy does not budge and accepts the pain. Finally, Luffy reaches Don Krieg after sustaining several stab wounds and attempts to punch him. Krieg protects himself behind a cape made of spikes at the last second. Unfortunately, the cape is unable to stop Luffy. Luffy proclaims he will not die here.

Long Summary
After Don Krieg shoots his MH5, he further angers Luffy and Sanji by claiming that Gin is garbage and it's proper to die by his own hands as his commander. Krieg's crew do not believe what they have seen. Sanji asks Patty to bring an antidote. For the first time, Patty does not agree since Gin is the Baratie's opponent. Zeff offers Patty a suggestion to bring Gin to a place with fresh air. Sanji becomes impatient and urges Patty and Carne to work faster.

Luffy becomes angry with Krieg and says that Gin can't die and has to survive. Because of the poison, Gin will die in one hour. Luffy promises to beat Krieg no matter what. Gin does not believe that Luffy can defeat Krieg and tries to stop Luffy. Sanji tries to stop him too and says he will be killed if he challenges Krieg. To calm his comrades, Luffy proclaims, "I will not die". Luffy attacks Krieg's front. Krieg affronts that he is more foolish than a monkey, because monkeys will not challenge people who are impossible to beat. But Luffy replies, "I am a monkey who does not know a word of surrendering".

With the fight now under way, Don Krieg starts by attacking with a hail of spears fired from his weapon. Luffy, without hesitation, runs straight into the attack with the intent of reaching Krieg. Realizing the rookie pirate wasn't stopping, Krieg revealed a robe made of dangerous spikes to deter any attacks. However, to the surprise of every Luffy still attacks despite the injury inflicted to his hand. Krieg is knocked to the ground from the shear force of Luffy's blow. Reaffirming his belief that he was not meant to die here, Zeff comments on how idiots like him will fight until the death. Standing back up, Krieg reveals his final weapon, a large spear with an explosive end that detonates upon impact.

Continuing the battle, the surrounding wreckage is eventually reduced to sunken rubble with both combatants having very little room to move on. Determined, Luffy begins striking the spear itself and eventually breaks the end, in his mind rendering the weapon at half strength, with it now just being, "a bomb on a stick". Grinning with confidence, Luffy tells Krieg to prepare himself.
