Summary
The Rocketman blasts out of the Water Seven canal and Kokoro drops the runaway sea train onto the rails to chase the kidnap train (the Puffing Tom) carrying Robin toward Enies Lobby. The Franky Family race up on two giant King Bulls — Sodom and Gomora — and board, joined by the Galley-La trio Paulie, Tilestone, and Lulu who had stowed away in the coal tender; Chimney and Gonbe also stowed aboard. Inside Car 1, Paulie tells the Straw Hats the truth about the masked attackers — they were the government agents Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, and Blueno (CP9) — only to learn the crew already knew. The two factions, who had been enemies in town, declare a common enemy and unite for the assault. With the throttle dead and the train barreling at an oncoming Aqua Laguna wave, Luffy clasps hands with the allies: comrades. Meanwhile, aboard the Puffing Tom up ahead, the absurdly compassionate Marine Captain T-Bone learns two prisoners are lost and the officials in Cars Six and Seven have been wiped out — and Nami’s baby Den Den Mushi rings: it’s Sanji calling from inside the kidnap train.
New reveals

- Paulie names the four masked attackers as the CP9 agents Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, Blueno — confirming to the allies that they are government secret agents (pp. 11-13).
- First on-page appearance of Marine Captain T-Bone, cross-faced and pathologically benevolent (hobby: saving people; motto: 100 good deeds per day), aboard the kidnap train (pp. 17-18).
- The Marines aboard the Puffing Tom report Cars Six and Seven “wiped out” and two criminals lost — fallout of Sanji’s rampage / Franky’s escape (p. 19).

Open questions raised
- How does the Rocketman survive the head-on Aqua Laguna wave (the cannon is being readied against it)?
- Will Captain T-Bone fight the boarding allies, and what is his exact role in the kidnap-train escort?
- What is the state of the “comrades waiting on the other sea train” (Sanji and Franky already aboard the Puffing Tom)?
