"One Step Forward for Her Dream - Shirahoshi Goes Out in the Sun!" is the 883rd episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
King Sterry of the Goa Kingdom meets Garp and his envoy from Fish-Man Island. Shirahoshi gets her first look at the world on the surface.

Long Summary
The Neptune Family walks through the crowd, escorted by Garp, as paparazzi take photos of them. Shirahoshi shows everyone. However, they are stopped by Sterry of the Goa Kingdom. He was previously a noble in the kingdom and married Princess Nantokanette, but due to the king and prince's mysterious passing, Sterry rose as the king of the Goa Kingdom.

Sabo watches Sterry, remembering that he is Sabo's adopted brother. He recalls when he first met Luffy at the Gray Terminal. Although he was originally hostile to Luffy, they would eventually exchange sake cups for a Sakazuki ceremony, officially becoming brothers. Sabo would forfeit his noble heritage and become a pirate.

However, Sabo's parents would catch wind of this, hiring Bluejam to capture them. Sabo is forced to leave Ace and Luffy and return to his parents' mansion. There, he meets Sterry, whom his parents have adopted. Sabo finds out, through Sterry, that the nobles of Goa Kingdom plan to burn down the Gray Terminal to make the country "cleaner," so that a World Noble could visit.

Sabo attempts to stop the fire, but is beaten by the guards. There, Monkey D. Dragon, leader of the Revolutionary Army, notices him. To the shock of Dragon, Sabo exclaims that he is ashamed of being a noble. Sabo decides to set sail and leave Goa Kingdom as a pirate. However, a World Noble was passing by, who guns down Sabo's ship. Dragon rescues Sabo from the wreckage, who would later accept him as the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army.

Meanwhile, Luffy had been telling the story of him and Ace after Sabo had supposedly died. Ace promises Luffy that he would never die. They both promise to set sail when they turn 17 and become pirates. Luffy would grow up and set sail himself, dreaming of becoming Pirate King.

Back at the Red Line, Sabo captures one of the guards, taking their armor. Sterry continues speaking with Garp, only to be approached by the Neptune Family. Mistaking them for giant fishmen, Sterry collapses, terrified of them. They ride up the bondola to get to Mary Geoise, and Shirahoshi is amazed to see the sun for the first time. Sterry also rides up the bondola, panicking from the height, the wind, and Morley, who watches them from the Red Line. Sabo disguises himself as one of the guards and rides the bondola with Sterry.
