Short Summary
In the final minutes of the duel, Chinjao taunts Luffy that his skill is not enough to help him in the New World and actually praises the Marines in the execution of Portgas D Ace two years ago. These words were enough to get Luffy rage boiling that he launched himself in the air and prepares to deliver a finishing blow to Chinjao while the old man prepares to do the same to Luffy.



Chinjao then remembers the past before Garp ruined his life. Thirty years ago, he was known as Chinjao the Drill, the man with extremely hard and pointy shaped head. His signature move is the key to breaking the ice continent that protects his treasure. One day, he had a confrontation with Garp who fists manage to punch his pointy head down. After he recovered, he discovered that his techinque is useless against the ice. With his spirit broken, Chinjao vow to hate Garp and his family forever.



Back to the present, both fighters most powerful techinques are ready, and Chinjao launches himself towards Luffy, looking foward to ending his life. The two then clashed as they struggle for dominance. To the complete shock of everyone watching, Lucy's punch managed to revert the damage done by Garp and the uncouncious Chinjao fell headfirst on the stadium, breaking it in half. With Chinjao defeated, Luffy is the winner of Block C.
