4. Ace vs. Blackbeard
After the Water-7 arc, the battle between Ace and Blackbeard is shown. Ace was already known in Alabasta, while Blackbeard was only seen as a minor thug. Here, however, he shows his new power, as Ace is hunting Blackbeard for betrayal.
The battle is spectacular, as we see Ace’s fire powers and Blackbeard’s darkness. The small town where the two fight is completely destroyed. The battle ends in a spectacular clash of techniques, and as we later find out, Ace lost the fight.
5. Sanji vs. Jabura
After Sanji lost against Kalifa in Enies Lobby because he couldn’t attack her, he faces a new opponent injured: Jabura, another agent of CP9 who has eaten a devil fruit that turns him into a wolfman.
Sanji already had memorable moments in the arc, just remember the scenes on the train, here he shows again what he is capable of. He has also learned a new technique. With Diable Jambe, he can set his foot on fire, and with that, he defeats Jabura.
