Episode 5

"Fear, Mysterious Power! Pirate Clown Captain Buggy!" is the 5th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
Luffy, Nami and Zoro confront Buggy the Clown. Buggy threatens to fire a Buggy Ball at Luffy, but this attack is redirected back at his men.

Long Summary
The girl introduces herself as Nami, a thief targetting and stealing from pirates. After collaborating with Luffy to escape from the Buggy Pirates, they find refuge at a restaurant, where Nami reveals her goal of collecting 100 million Bellies for an unknown cause. She also reveals her navigation skills.

Nami betrays Luffy, tying him up and handing him over to the Buggy Pirates as a gesture of good will. Buggy accepts, locks Luffy into a cage, and prepares a Buggy Ball, a powerful, explosive cannonball. Buggy's pirates fire the cannon into the distance, destroying an entire row of houses. Zoro, who has just arrived at the town, notices the explosion.

Buggy then orders Nami to fire a Buggy Ball at Luffy, but she refuses to do so. Another pirate lights the cannon's fuse for her, but Nami extinguishes the fuse with her bare hands, burning herself. Buggy orders his pirates to attack her.

Zoro arrives at her aid and attacks Buggy, cutting off his hand and leg. However, Buggy's dismembered hand stabs Zoro from behind, then reattaches itself to Buggy's arm. He reveals that he ate the Bara Bara no Mi, allowing him to split himself into pieces, control them, and reattach them. Despite this, Zoro runs to the cannon, readjusts it to aim at the Buggy Pirates, and allows Nami to reignite the fuse, firing the cannon.

Anime Notes

 * Nami was shown sitting in the balcony when she is talking to Luffy in the manga while in the anime she is just perching out the balcony. It contradicts the flashback shown in Episode 516.
 * In the manga, the Buggy Pirate who tries to explain the map's theft (and inadvertently insults Buggy's nose) is killed with a Buggy Ball; in the anime, he is physically abused but ultimately spared.
 * In the manga Nami reveals to Luffy the reason why she wanted to earn 100,000,000, but in the anime she does not.
 * In the manga the scene when Nami tied up Luffy was done outside, but in the anime it was done inside one of the houses in the village.
 * Additional scenes in the manga were omitted from the anime, including Nami having a drinking contest with one of Buggy's crewmates and Nami teasing Luffy during Buggy's party.
 * In the manga Luffy is shown chewing his cage, but in the anime he is not.
 * Additional scene showing Nami pulling a wooden staff parts from her skirt.
