Straw Hat and Animals: Usopp and a giraffe on a canoe.

Short Summary
With Luffy's arrival, Zoro and Nami are relieved and ask him to destroy the Candle Service poll, but Mr. 3 does not want him to be involved in his art work and tries to catch him like he did with the others. However, Luffy uses the wax on his feet as a hammer and destroys the pillar. Unfortunately, this move does not provide much help, on the contrary the rotating candles start getting closer and the wax's transformation speed is increased. Luffy tries another attack to the Candle service but is stopped by Mr. 3, while Usopp's attacks on Mr. 3 are countered by Mr. 5. Mr. 3 tries to catch Luffy again, but is only able to get his arm. Luffy, once again, uses his new hammer against Mr. 3 who defends himself with a Candle Wall. Luffy's strength combined with the wax's hardness shatters the wall and Mr. 3 is sent flying away. With their enemies' boss defeated, the Straw Hats think that they will soon be free from their wax prison, when Luffy becomes strangely uncooperative.

Long Summary
Luffy promises to destroy the candle, even though he does not know what it is, and Usopp also lets the Baroque works agents that he is not the same as before. Meanwhile Zoro switches his pose to one more awesome, just in case he gets turned into wax, Miss. Goldenweek points out to Mr. 3 that the prisoners are not showing fear, which annoys him. Luffy then prepares to fight, to which Mr. 3 accepts his challenge, Usopp also prepares to fight, Broggy then asks Zoro why he has stopped trying to escape to which he responds that there are other people trying for them. Luffy then starts attacking but is quickly caught in a candle lock, but uses it to his advantage by making it into a hammer technique which he uses it to destroy the candle. Unfortunately this does not stop the waxing process and Mr. 3 continues his attack, but Usopp interrupts with a explosive bullet, but it is eaten by Mr. 5, Luffy continues his assault but Mr. 3 also continues his attacks as well, though Luffy beats him. But then he becomes strangely uncooperative as Miss. Goldenweek activates her "color trap".
