Mr. 3 was defeated by Monkey D. Luffy during a confrontation where Luffy discovered him amidst his wax creations. This defeat was pivotal, not only for Mr. 3 but also for several of Luffy's allies.
The Confrontation and Its Aftermath
The decisive moment occurred when the fire from Mr. 3's own hair accidentally ignited an oil-covered rope. This created an intense furnace, which, while sealing Mr. 3's fate against Luffy, unexpectedly served a crucial purpose.
The heat generated by this impromptu furnace freed several individuals who had been trapped in Mr. 3's wax creations. This included:
- Zoro
- Vivi
- Brogy
- Nami
Thus, Mr. 3's defeat at Luffy's hands also led directly to the liberation of these characters from their waxy confinement.
