The cooks were impressed with Luffy 's skill, the Krieg Pirates were surprised that Krieg hadn't won yet and Sanji was worried that Luffy 's body wouldn't hold up from all those explosions.

'The Conclusion Of The Deadly Battle! A Spear Of Blind Determination! '

'If I had known you better, I wouldn't have been that worried about you, ' Sanji realized, his captain needed more than a few explosions to the face to go down.

'Thank you! '

'Was that even a compliment? '

Luffy explained to Krieg that he can win now that he had a decent foothold and the exploding spear was broken, no more than a bomb on a stick. According to Krieg, that was more than enough to defeat the rubberman. The Fleet Commander charged again, but Luffy jumped out of the way and held onto a nearby mast. When Krieg struck at the mast, Luffy grabbed one part of it and started falling back down again. When he chucked the piece, Krieg used his inbuilt flamethrower to incinerate it.
