["What's going on here?"]
[Luffy, battered from the battle, hastily retreated. At this crucial moment,]
[he finally glimpsed the person concealed within the colossal biscuit!]
[It appeared that a tall man with purple hair had been covertly nestled within the expansive biscuit body.]
[Both Luffy and Nami were left stupefied at this revelation.]
["What's happening here?]
[Why is there a person concealed within another person's body?]
[So, this is the true form of Cracker's abilities!]
[The figure displayed to everyone, even during Luffy's earlier clashes with him...]
[They were merely biscuit soldiers conjured by Cracker using his Devil Fruit!]
[Cracker, with a wry smile, revealed everything to Luffy and the others.]
[Mockingly, he declared, "Feeling hopeless, Straw Hat?]
[The opponents you struggled against were mere random creations of my cookie soldiers!]
[I could effortlessly generate hundreds more like them!]
[Yet, you dare take pride in defeating my cookie soldiers. After all these years, no one has witnessed my true form!]
[Even the images on the Navy bounty orders depict me as nothing more than a biscuit soldier!]
[Feel the despair, Straw Hat!"]
[Upon finishing his words, Cracker clapped his hands, and there was a momentary pause!]
[Before him, cookie combatants materialized one after another!]
[These biscuit soldiers were identical to those Luffy had previously battled!]
[Hundreds of them stood in formation, creating an overwhelming spectacle!]
[At this juncture, both Luffy and Nami were utterly astounded.]
[Nami, in particular, turned pale, grappling with a sense of despair in her heart.]
[A single cookie soldier had already consumed so much of Luffy's energy!]
[Now, faced with numerous soldiers, how could he possibly prevail?]
[Could this be...]
[The true might of the Big Mom Pirates' top-ranking commanders, the three Sweet Commanders?]
Simultaneously, viewers worldwide were equally taken aback!
Never had they fathomed that it wasn't Cracker himself battling Luffy all along!!!
How could this be?
In essence, Luffy had been contending with a deceptive strategy, expending considerable effort!
Even activating his most formidable mode, he had only overcome a creation of Cracker's in Gear 4!
The atmosphere became truly terrifying, and countless viewers were now realizing the extent of it.
Cracker's power was so overwhelming that even seasoned sea bosses were as astonished as the countless viewers.
The revelation of Cracker's true form was shocking—far from the bloated, honest appearance, he was immense. His true identity concealed among the cookie soldiers was both bizarre and formidable.
[Luffy's shock lasted only a moment before he spoke with determination.]
["I will rescue Sanji, no matter what it takes!"]
["If I could defeat you once, I can defeat you again!"]
["Summon as many of these things as you want; I'll crush them all before your eyes!"]
Upon finishing his words, Luffy, in Gear 4 mode, impulsively rushed forward without hesitation.
[It must be acknowledged; the first time crushing cookie soldiers was a learning experience for Luffy.]
[Subsequently, Luffy became increasingly adept, employing powerful moves like the Great Ape King Gun and the Lion Rocket Launcher with every action.]
[One by one, he smashed through all the cookie soldiers in a short span.]
[Yet, there was no hint of panic on Cracker's face.]
[Regardless of how many Biscuit Soldiers were shattered, as long as the raw materials were on the ground, he could restore them effortlessly.]
[Casually patting, Cracker resurrected all the cookie soldiers that Luffy had just crushed.]
[Luffy, now completely frenzied, relentlessly threw punch after punch without pause.]
[The tremendous force caused the land to tremble intensely.]
[Yet, with each clap from Cracker, the cookie soldiers revived one after another.]
[The battle fell into an unending loop.]
[No matter how Luffy smashed the Biscuit Soldiers, his speed couldn't match Cracker's ability to restore them.]
[Inevitably, if this persisted, Luffy would exhaust his strength and face defeat.]
On an unknown island!
At this very moment, Doflamingo was still en route back to Dressrosa.
However, during this journey, he remained attentive to the images unfolding in the sky!
"This ability is just too tricky!"
"Is this the might of the Big Mom Pirates?"
"Is this the prowess of the three commanders?"
"That damned straw hat kid, taste the bitterness of true despair!"
Doflamingo wore a sinister grin, hoping for Luffy's demise at the hands of Cracker.
In this way, he could finally satiate the hatred burning within him.
He took in a sharp breath, unable to contain his anticipation. He yearned to witness Luffy's impending demise.
[The screen resumes playback]
[Cracker continued applauding, and the cookie soldiers resurrected one after another!]
[This caused Luffy to rapidly deplete his physical strength during the protracted battle!]
[The velocity of his punches dwindled, and the speed of crushing the cookie soldiers slowed.]
[However, Cracker persistently manufactured more cookie soldiers. Gradually, Luffy could no longer endure!]
[In the blink of an eye, they found themselves surrounded by an army of countless cookie soldiers.]
[Yet, at the rear, Nami devised a strategy to combat the cookie soldiers!]
[Since they're biscuits, regardless of their hardness, their essence is still that of a biscuit.]
[What happens when biscuits encounter water?]
[Simultaneously,]
[Within the Vinsmoke family, despite Sanji's father wielding the Straw Hats as leverage]
[and attaching a bomb bracelet to him, Sanji refused to abandon his escape plan.]
[At any given opportunity, he would flee without a second thought.]
[However, what Judge revealed next was enough to shatter his resolve!]
[Perhaps sensing Sanji's unwavering determination, Judge produced a photograph...]
[The person depicted was his mentor and benefactor, the restaurant on the sea...
Zeff's photograph!]
[Sanji was utterly stunned]
