Short Summary
Sanji is getting tired of waiting for everybody and starts to worry about Vivi and Nami. While he tries to search for them, he bumps into Mr. 3's candle house.
Meanwhile Luffy has got rid of Miss Goldenweek's Colors Trap signs. But it lets Mr. 3 enough time to recover. He comes back recovered with a full armor of wax: Candle Champion. Luffy tries to punch him, but the armor is too hard. That is when Usopp realizes that wax is melting again when put in contact with fire. However his attempt to save his friends is countered by Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine. To help him, Usopp asks Carue to take a special rope and put it around the Candle Service. The rope is covered with oil and just need to be fired. Once Usopp explains the plan, Luffy decides to use Mr. 3's own fiery hair as a lighter and generates a giant furnace.
