Chapter 125: Candle Champion
In One Piece Chapter 125: “Candle Champion”, the wax covered chaos of Little Garden reaches its boiling point. With Mr. 3’s giant wax creation threatening to permanently imprison the Straw Hat crew, Luffy unleashes a fiery, unpredictable counterattack. The tides of battle begin to turn but not without sacrifice, determination, and classic One Piece humor in the face of danger.

















Summary
The chapter opens with Mr. 3 revealing his ultimate attack: “Candle Champion” a monstrous wax armor that transforms him into a towering figure of artificial might. Encased in the hardened wax suit, Mr. 3 becomes nearly impervious to Luffy’s punches and moves with confidence, thinking he has already won.
Meanwhile, Zoro, Nami, and Vivi are still stuck on the melting platform of the Giant Candle Service Set, growing weaker with every passing second. The heat is intense, and the wax is close to solidifying sealing them in statues forever. The pressure is on.
Luffy’s Reckless Strategy
But Luffy isn’t giving up. After dodging several of the Candle Champion’s brutal wax fists, he comes up with a wild plan. He grabs Mr. 3’s giant candle structure and begins to swing it violently, causing structural damage and throwing off Mr. 3’s balance.
At the same time, Usopp and Karoo’s fire plan continues to work. The flames are slowly melting the wax base, providing a glimmer of hope. Luffy, ignoring the heat and pain, charges into the fray to break his friends free before the wax hardens completely.
The Beginning of the End
Miss Goldenweek tries to interfere again, but this time Usopp stops her using his fire tricks and slingshot precision. With Mr. 3 losing control, his wax champion armor begins to crack under Luffy’s rubber fury and the melting firestorm.
The chapter ends with Luffy landing a devastating punch, smashing through the Candle Champion and leaving Mr. 3 reeling. The battle isn’t quite over yet, but the upper hand has clearly shifted. The Straw Hats are one step closer to freedom.
