Chapter 740: It's up to you
Luffy and Violet runs through the B1F of the palace.
The walls are constantly shifting, and every way is a deadend, thanks to Pica's ability.
Violet worries about Zoro they left behind, but Luffy says he'll be alright no matter what
Zoro vs Pica
Pica is no longer shape of a man, he's stretched across from wall to wall, with a face in the middle.
Zoro has no idea how to end this fight, every cut he makes seems to have no effect on Pica.
(Very logia-like)
Meanwhile in 1F, the toy soldier, Kabu, and Rambo make their way through, but Gladius stands in their way.
Kabu and Rambo decides to attack him from two opposite sides to buy the soldier time to run, but Gladius easily catches the two Tontattas.
His arms blow up big like baloon, then explodes, knocking out both Tontattas.
Gladius is a Pam Pam fruit user, and is a Puncture man.
(this will be tricky to translate, "punc" in Japanese is short for tire punctures, but it's not the English word puncture... it means inflated to the point of bursting. So more accurately he's a bursting-man)
He can inflate any non-organic substance and explode it.
So he's basically DIG DUG MAN
He grabs the toy soldier and inflates his head big. Right as it's about to burst, Luffy arrives and Jet stamps Gladius away.
Gladius is pissed seeing Violet with the Strawhat, he cannot forgive traitors.
Although she insists she's not a traitor, as she was never aligned with them in the first place.
She runs with Luffy, as they have no time to deal with Gladius.
Gladius blows up his helmet, sending shards at the two, and injuring Violet.
Luffy decides to make a shortcut, and carries both the soldier and Violet and jumps out of the window, using his rubber ability to head straight for the destination.
