Long Summary
Luffy and Nami are still watching as Kuro continues to cut up the other Black cat Pirates. Suddenly Luffy is wounded by Kuro as he keeps his ground he grabs Kuro's jacket and throws him to the ground. Kuro mocks Luffy, saying he should have stood still so Kuro could kill him easier, because Luffy stops him moving, his crew are still alive and suffering. Kuro goes to do his move again, but this time Luffy grabs him and holds him tight. Kuro is unable to move.

In the forest, Kaya agrees to sign the the will if Jango stops hurting the Usopp Pirates. Jango throws them against trees and turns to Kaya, who has his hypnotising ring and threatens to kill herself with it if he doesn't do what she says. Jango panics, if he doesn't get the will before her death he is in trouble. While Kaya signs the will, the Usopp pirates pretend to be hurt, they discuss their options and agree that just because their loosing doesn't mean they can run away. With the will signed, Jango now prepares himself to kill Kaya.

Zoro and Usopp spot them. Zoro tosses Usopp aside to stop Jango. As Jango goes in for the kill the Usopp Pirates ram a shovel between the cheeks of his rear. Angrily he kicks them aside and goes to kill Kaya, stating to Zoro he is too late to save her. But Zoro stats it wasn't his goal to do so, he cuts some branches blocking a clear shot of Jango from Usopp. With the branches out of the way, Usopp now can fire a clear shot at Jango with his Slingshot.

Back at the coastline, Kuro's crew cheer Luffy on. Luffy throws his head back and stretches his neck far enough back to tell the Black Cat pirates to stop cheering for him. Kuro in shock just keeps on about how his plan will not fail.

Jango is hit by Usopp's slingshot and at that same moment, Kuro also falls as Luffy pulls his head back and rams it into Kuro.
