He is disgusted at the performance of his group, he then announces that the day he has been waiting for a long time has finally come, the day he can take revenge on a certain man that is responsible for sending him to hell, the man whom he wants to kill turns out to be Sanji. Duval is so angry that he starts speaking in a different “accent”, Sanji is confused and tries to figure out who can hold a grudge against him, as there are many people he has angered in his past. Duval attacks Sanji with harpoons which were coated with scorpion poisons, Nami and the rest of the crew on the ship also get in the way of this attack angering Sanji. Meanwhile Luffy talks to Zoro saying that he saw the face under the mask, Zoro is curious and Luffy says that he’ll show the face hidden below the mask soon and that it’s a face that Zoro knows too. Luffy kicks off the mask from Duval’s face, shocking everyone and angering Sanji. The face hidden below the mask was that of the poorly drawn face in Sanji’s wanted poster.
