Quick Summary
The duel continues with a victor finally emerging.

Long Summary
The Straw Hats look on as Usopp and Luffy continue their duel in the smoke covered area. The pair attack at the same time and Luffy, without managing to land a hit, causes Usopp's attack to explode. As he get thrown back, Luffy finally manages to land a hit knocking Usopp off balance and attacks again however, it is blocked by the impact dial which he blasts back into Luffy's own face. An exhausted Usopp is shocked to see that Luffy is still standing and the pair stare at each other while remembering making the Straw Hats' flag. Luffy finally hits Usopp with a final attack causing him to collapse to the ground completely defeated.

As the others watch in pain, Luffy walks towards the ship telling a defeated Usopp that the Going Merry is his as they will get a new ship. He bids farewell to him while remembering the good times that they have had together. Chopper, devastated by the events, attempts to check Usopp's wounds however he is stopped by Sanji who explains how painful it must feel for already being pitied.

As they leave the ship, all except for Zoro and Sanji are in tears as they say goodbye to both Usopp and Going Merry.
