After Wanze taunts him, the latter two continue on through the roof of the carriage, while Sanji stops to confront him. The confrontation remains balanced until Wanze creates armor made of ramen with which to protect himself from the 🏴 ☠️ pirate’s kicks. Sanji gets his legs caught and Wanze takes advantage of this to send him crashing into the walls of the carriage. The 🏴 ☠️ pirate manages to free himself and, enraged by the waste of food he is witnessing, grabs a pair of knives and slices Wanze’s armor, then hits him with several kicks to the face until his features change.

Enraged by the treatment he receives, Wanze pulls out a large knife covered in 🧪 poison. Sanji avoids the attacks and strikes him again, returning him to his original look, sending him into the carriage where the CP9 members are, and knocking him unconscious.
