Chapter's Events:
—————————
...
..
"Here he comes!!! It's Magellan!!!"
"Magellan too!!? What's going on here!?" exclaimed Buggy incredulously.
"Eh…!!?"
"What happened to Iva and the crab guy!!?" Luffy felt a sense of impending doom upon seeing Magellan's arrival, knowing that both Ivankov and Inazuma must have lost against him.
"Damn it!!!"
"We can't!!! We have to run from him!!!" Mr. 2 tightly held onto Luffy to prevent him from recklessly fighting Magellan.
...
(I understand, but… The ships…!? Really!?)
"Carry out your orders, immediately!!" exclaimed Magellan with a menacing tone.
...
'Damn… He's planning something…!!!' Jimbei noticed Magellan's actions a moment ago and realized with wisdom what he was planning.
He turned to Luffy and shouted: "Luffy, hurry to the front entrance on the top floor!!!"
"This is getting bad… We have more than Magellan to worry about…!!"
"Eh!?" Luffy was surprised by Jimbei's words.
"Everyone, look out!! The hydra's attacking!!!"
Above Luffy and the other fugitives, Magellan's deadly attack appeared.
Just when everyone thought they were doomed, Mr. 3 appeared and changed the outcome using his abilities. "Candle Wall!!!"
A wall of white wax appeared, colliding with the heads of the hydra and causing them to burst into a liquid mist.
"!" Magellan was surprised by this sight.
"Jeez, you're so optimistic you make me sick, Strawhat!!"
"If I'm careful, I'll start thinking of you as a friend!!" Mr. 3 injected more wax with his power as he said that.
"3!!!" Even Luffy was surprised by what happened.
"Go, now!! It can't hold for long!!! I refuse to remain in your debt!!!"
It turned out Mr. 3 had some virtue after all.

Roshwan Kingdom:
The stars appeared in Galdino's eyes as he watched his counterpart in the manga deliver this fantastic performance against Magellan.
"Is this really me...? Oh! This is amazing!"
...
"Successfully dodged Magellan's attack!"
"This Mr. 3 is not as I expected!"
"Hahaha! I thought he was just like Buggy, but at least his ability has some use."
"Forget that, he must be pretending…"
"Hahaha! He seems regretful!"
"Look at his reaction when Luffy tells him he'll fight alongside him! Hahahahaha!"
"I wonder what Luffy plans to do, does Luffy have a plan? That's illogical."
"Hahaha! Just as I expected! These are Luffy's thoughts only!"
...
Initially, Galdino was happy with the unlimited praise that flooded his character in the manga from readers and also in the global forum, but then they immediately returned to comparing him to Buggy.
"Damn it! I'm way better than Buggy by miles! Even Crocodile and Jimbei weren't more useful to Luffy than me! Hmph!"
"That's right, you're better than Buggy, so you'll come with us, won't you?"
Galdino looked back to find two muscular men wearing typical hunters' clothes, formal suits, and smiling kindly at him.
One of them proudly pointed to the hunter's card on his chest, which bore the rank B.
"The Hunter's Association employs promising young people like you, will you come with us?" the muscular man who claimed to be a hunter explained his reason for coming.
'Did they figure out my identity this quickly... Is it because I'm in the art store?' Galdino didn't tense up and smiled as well.
"Of course... I'll go with you."
"Alright, you won't go anywhere with the kid..."
At this moment, 5 of the Store's Goddesses blocked the path of the two men, staring at them calmly.
A young woman in her twenties stepped forward, one of the women Rob had saved from slavery long ago.
"You're not hunters... It's foolish to disguise yourself as an official hunter and then enter a real art store... That's suicide."
After saying that, Eliza quietly tapped her finger, and the two disappeared in an instant.
"I sent them to central prison..."
"Boy, don't trust anyone who tells you they're an official hunter."
After this commotion, most people in the art store knew that the little bespectacled boy was actually Mr. 3 Galdino.
...
Whole Cake Island:
"Uwohh! This is amazing!"
"He looks like a cyborg!"
"Did he do that with wax power?"
"Mr. 3 is amazing!"
Both Robin and Yamato and the rest of the children were enjoying Luffy's new and unexpected transformation.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Uwohhh, that'll work!!! It's perfect!!!"
The stars appeared in Luffy's eyes after Mr. 3 fulfilled one of his dreams, giving him wax prosthetics to protect his original limbs.
"Pay attention!! Don't get distracted at a time like this!!!" exclaimed Mr. 3.
"I can't stop my tears… Thank you!!!"
"You made me look this cool…"
Luffy was moved to the point of tears, almost driving Mr. 3 crazy: "WHATEVER!!! JUST FIGHT!!!"
…
..
"All right!! I can touch him!!!"
An enthusiastic smile appeared on Luffy's face at this moment.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"Can something so dumb actually succeed?"
Katakuri was speechless after seeing how Luffy managed to finally fight against Magellan using the wax armor.
He glanced towards the excited children and couldn't help but let out a playful smile.
"This manga always makes children cheerful... Is it because Luffy has a childish mind?"
"Well, the current events are very serious, what happens next shouldn't be seen by children."
"Isn't that right, Mama?"
At that moment, Linlin returned.
"Perhaps the old man Whitebeard will give us a surprise, along with the Strawhat... So the children will enjoy a happy ending... Mama Mama~"
Happy endings are for children only; sad endings make strong men... That's what Charlotte Linlin meant.
...
Fish-Man Island:
"Wow~ Amazing! This look! This transformation! Luffy must have been inspired by Franky!"
The boy Franky was extremely excited after seeing Luffy's wax armor.
"Tahahaha! This boy always surprises me..." Tom laughed heartily before nodding, "Well, since Jimbei went to take care of the ship, he must succeed."
"Jimbei gives me a similar feeling to yours in the manga, Teacher." Iceburg smiled, saying so.
"That's because they both carry the same amount of kindness..." Kokoro said with a sweet smile.
...
"Well, Luffy can finally get revenge for his previous loss... Although I don't think he can beat Magellan."
Not far from where Tom and his students were gathered, Tiger was still with Jimbei.
"It may not be difficult for him to distance Magellan for some time... I trust that Luffy will do it."
Jimbei declared his full confidence in Luffy.
