"A Man's Promise! Luffy and the Whale Vow to Meet Again" is the 63rd episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
After hearing the story of Laboon the whale, Luffy comes up with a clever solution to his problems. From Laboon's caretaker, Crocus, the crew learns more about the Grand Line and how to navigate through it via Log Pose, since compasses are useless there.

Long Summary
Crocus explains Straw Hat Pirates that Laboon has been waiting for a group of pirates for over fifty years. Before fifty years, Laboon came along with a group of pirates known as Rumbar Pirates. It treated them as it's own family. Rumbar Pirates left Laboon in the care of Crocus promising to return back after three years. After hearing the story, Luffy battles with Laboon and declares that it is a draw between them. Luffy takes a promise from Laboon for fighting again after they return back from their journey. Luffy paints a Jolly roger picture on Laboon' s face.

Nami learns that the usual compass and common sense does not work on Grand Line. Crocus says that they need to have a Log pose in order to go onto the further journey. Luffy gives Nami a Log pose that was found on the ship. However, the Log pose breaks when Luffy and Sanji fight each other. Nami kicks both of them. Crocus says that he would give his Log pose for saving Laboon. Later, Laboon brings out Sanji, Luffy, Mr.9 and Miss Wednesday out of the sea. Mr.9 and Miss Wednesday requests to go on a journey with Straw Hats. Luffy agrees to take them to their hometown. The episode ends with Crocus saying goodbye to the Straw Hats and remembering Gol D.
