As they arrived, they were met at the shore by the General Franky, who shot at them on sight. Baby 5 and Buffalo struggled to even scratch the robot. As soon as she pierced its armor, Franky shot them away with a powerful energy cannon. Just as they gained their footing again, Law arrived with Luffy, his crew, and the Marine G-5. Rather than fight, they grabbed Caesar to run. They nearly got away until Nami shot them down with a bolt of lightning.

As they were captured, Law used his powers to cut off their head and led them adrift with a transponder snail for whoever found them.

Sea Prism Stone is a naturally occurring metal fund in the world. Minerals from the sea are embedded into the metal. It's said that sea prism stone is as hard as diamonds, and contact to the skin will both weaken the body and cancel out all devil fruit powers. they'll be as vulnerable as any other human. This is often found crafted into shackles.

Haki

Haki is a unique skill that all devil fruit users are vulnerable to. Armament Haki has the ability to cancel out any devil fruit power, however, the haki of the attacker must be stronger than the target. It's unknown if Baby 5 has any form of Haki abilities.
