As Merry and Chopper hesitated, uncertain if they had taken a wrong turn, the sound of approaching footsteps snapped them back to alertness. Suddenly, a troop of soldiers on Police Dogs appeared, ready to confront them. These weren't ordinary soldiers; they were part of the Enies Lobby's elite forces, known as the Judicial Tower's Guard Dogs.
The leader of the group pointed at them and barked orders, "The pet of the Straw Hat Crew—a raccoon dog, and another kid! Capture them immediately!"
Merry and Chopper bristled with anger at his words. Chopper retorted sharply, "You're the pet! And I'm not a raccoon dog; I'm a reindeer—see the horns?" Merry chimed in fiercely, "And I'm not just a kid; I'm a ship spirit named Merry!"
As they confronted the leader, three unified voices suddenly boomed from behind them, each statement echoing with authority, "How dare you trespass on Enies Lobby!" "Refusing to be arrested? That's an unforgivable crime!" "Then we'll split the difference and sentence you to death!"
The synchronization of these declarations gave their pronouncements a rhythmic menace. The captain of the Judicial Tower's Guard Dogs, caught up in the moment, excitedly announced, "It's Baskerville, the three-headed judge!!"
Merry and Chopper quickly turned around, their faces reflecting shock as they took in the sight before them. There, standing tall and formidable, was a figure with three heads— the chief judge of the Enies Lobby Court. Trials in Enies Lobby are mere formalities, and this judge's decisions always end with the death penalty.
To the untrained eye, the judge seemed to have three heads, but in reality, it was three individuals—Kerville on the right, And in the middle, and Bas on the left—dressed identically, united by their peculiar reason: "Because we get along well."
Suddenly, the chief judge raised his long sword, directing a swift slash at Merry and Chopper. Simultaneously, the Judicial Tower's Guard Dogs surged forward, attacking them. These forces had underestimated Merry and Chopper, assuming them to be weak due to their appearances and decided to attack without reserve.
However, they were about to discover just how mistaken they were.

Outside the main gate of Enies Lobby, the air was filled with the rumbling cries of two defeated giants. Oimo, charred and sprawled on the ground, sobbed loudly, "Wow! So our captains weren't really captured!!" Beside him, Kashii, equally defeated, wept with relief, "That's amazing! We haven't let our captain down after all."
Standing between them, Usopp placed his hands on his hips, his voice dripping with exasperation as he shouted, "Are you two really that naive?" He continued, disbelief coloring his tone, "Did you seriously believe they were captured without any proof? In all these years, didn't it ever occur to you to just make a call on the Den Den Mushi to check?"
As Usopp watched the two giants weeping, realizing their naivety after his defeat of them, he couldn't help but compare them silently to Luffy in his mind—equally clueless.
Caught off guard by Usopp's harsh words, the two giants paused mid-sob, struck by the realization. Then, overwhelmed by the flood of emotions, they burst into even louder cries, their tears mingling with the dust of the battleground.
After their heartfelt tears, Oimo and Kashii's sadness turned into anger toward the World Government. They declared they would join Usopp in his fight. The trio, previously adversaries, quickly became comrades. Usopp even hopped up to sit on Oimo's massive shoulder.
Before, Usopp learned that the two giants were once members of the Giant Warrior Pirates under Dorry and Brogy. Sharing a bit of his own story, Usopp(Sogeking) revealed his true identity.
"But speaking of it, Usopp, your strength really surprised us," Oimo remarked, impressed by Usopp's prowess.
Usopp, swelling with pride, couldn't help but boast. "Hahahaha, of course!" he laughed, his chest puffing out. "I am the world's number one sniper! And guess what? My sniper rifle has a second form, ahahahaha!"
"Amazing!" Oimo exclaimed, genuinely awed.
Kashii joined in the laughter, "Hahaha!!"
With spirits lifted and newfound camaraderie, the trio, laughing and joking, moved on to join another part of the battle.
Usopp squinted at the soldiers running toward them, a puzzled look crossing his face. "Weird... Why do these guys look like they're running away instead of charging?"
As one soldier approached, he spotted the giants and instantly brightened up. "Oimo! Kashii! Thank goodness you're here!" he shouted. "Hurry to the front! There's a robot tearing through the whole garrison! We need your help!"
But before he could say another word—Boom!—Oimo's massive foot sent him flying. The giant roared, "We already know the truth! Don't try to give us orders anymore!"
"Wait... did he say 'robot'?" Usopp caught the key detail, and his eyes widened. "Oimo, hold on a sec! That 'robot' might be my friend. Could you guys rush over there first and help him out?"
Oimo nodded without hesitation, and the two giants surged forward, Usopp clinging to Oimo's shoulder as they closed the distance quickly. Soon, an astonishing sight came into view.
General Franky – Chariot Form!
Usopp's jaw dropped as he watched a sleek, powerful chariot weave through the chaos, soldiers scattering out of the way, and those too slow were launched into the air by its unstoppable path. In no time, only a few soldiers were left standing.
Staring in awe, Usopp slid down from Oimo's shoulder and shouted, "Franky? Is that really you?"
The chariot paused, and Franky's voice boomed, "Yo, Usopp! You took care of your side too, huh? That's SU.PER!"
General Franky – Chariot Form... Revert!
With a triumphant shout, the chariot shifted back, piece by piece, into Franky's familiar form, complete with glowing eyes and his classic pose. "SU.PER!"
"Whoa!!" Usopp stammered, his face lighting up. He was practically speechless, overwhelmed by the sight. After all, nothing could beat the thrill of seeing a real-life mech in action!
Not lingering in his excitement for too long, Usopp quickly introduced Oimo and Kashii to Franky. With their team stronger than ever, the four allies headed onward together.
Before long, the sound of battle reached their ears again.
"Arm Point: Carved Hoof Cross!" Chopper bellowed, his voice echoing powerfully.
"Six-Linked Force: Collapse Fist!" Merry followed suit, her shout fierce and determined.
In response to their attacks, members of the Judicial Tower's Guard Dogs and the presiding judge were sent flying, landing in a heap before them.
Chopper waved excitedly and called out, "Usopp! Franky!"
Merry, with a big smile, chimed in, "Have you guys finished your fights too?"
With this, several members of the Straw Hats Pirates were reunited.
