Short Summary
While Nami demands that Luffy explain what he is, Buggy and Cabaji emerge unharmed from the reflected cannonball attack by using their own crew as a shield. Mohji briefly regains consciousness before being knocked aside by both Buggy and Luffy. Cabaji goes to attack Luffy, but Zoro intercepts the attack. However because of his injury from Buggy earlier, Zoro is put at a disadvantage until he grows tired of Cabaji's low blows to the wound, and decides to show the latter a real fight.

Long Summary
Nami demands that Luffy explain more about who he is, since he survived an attack from Richie and now has inflated himself. Buggy and Cabaji have survived the attack from the reflected cannonball - by using the other crew members as shields. Mohji is upset because Richie is being held by Cabaji. Mohji warns the captain finally that Luffy has eaten a Devil Fruit just like him and is made of rubber and gets knocked aside for not telling his captain sooner. Mohji is sent flying towards Luffy, who in turns slams him into a nearby wall.

Cabaji steps in to strike Luffy, Zoro intercepts the attack. Despite being injured, Zoro enters a fight with Cabaji, who sees Zoro is injured from his previous encounter with his captain still. After Zoro evades an attack, Cabaji kicks the wound and hurts Zoro. Cabaji uses another trick to cause a dust storm. With Zoro no longer able to see Cabaji, Cabaji strikes again, Zoro blocks with two of his swords, but once again Cabaji kicks him where he is wounded.

Nami beckons Luffy to interfere, Cabaji launches into the final attack but Zoro gets up and knocks him aside. Zoro is not impressed by Cabaji's constant hitting to his side where he is already hurt. To prove that Cabaji's effort were pointless, Zoro cuts into the wound with his sword to gave Cabaji a definite "advantage" over him.
