Short Summary
Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp come face to face with trouble deep in the forests of Skypeia.A priest named Satori guards the exit of the forest,and the three friends must fight to escape,and of course,break free from the Ordeal of Balls.With all three of the fighters injured from their battle with Satori, the Straw Hats look like they are about to be finished by Satori's Ball Dragon. Unwisely, Luffy tries to punch the Ball Dragon, which can explode with even the slightest touch. The remaining friends run to escape the monster and it is a success,but not completely when they land on a ball. Later, Sanji defeats Satori with his powerful Concasse kick.
