 * Before the fight starts, Luffy and Zoro are taking a longer time talking about the Nidai Kitetsu than in the manga.
 * The anime shows Luffy having more skill with the sword than what was shown in the manga.
 * A scene of Tama thinking about Ace is added.
 * Zoro fights the man with a long ponytail and Luffy fights a foe using a giant hammer.
 * When Luffy is dodging a lizard's bite, he only dodged once in the manga. In the anime, he dodges multiple times.
 * When Hawkins summons the straw entity, Zoro is not shown licking his blade like in the manga. He is only shown grinning instead. Also in the manga, Luffy attached his sword's scabbard to his waist. In the anime, he is holding the scabbard in his right hand.
 * After Komachiyo grabs Luffy and Zoro, Hawkins' men pursued them. In the manga, it was only the straw entity.
