Chapter 605

Chapter 605 is called "The kraken and the pirates".

Cover story
Chopper poses for some raccoons in a sketching, who paint chopper like a Raccoon. Chopper also thinks of himself being drawn like a regular reindeer in a beautiful pose.

Short summary
Luffy and Co. arrive at the Kraken and foolishly aim to tame it. Usopp is startled by the Kraken and tries to convince Luffy to give up his ridiculous idea with Chopper mentioning that it has been alive for hundreds of years, being considered almost "mythological". Coribu's ship then arrives from behind, and is annihilated by the Kraken. Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro then get lifesuits named "Barefoot Coating" and set out to tame the beast. While the crew is dodging the Kraken, Luffy enters Gear 3 and hardens his enormous fist with the "Color of Armaments" Haki, while Sanji and Zoro run interference with their respective strengths. Luffy blows away the Kraken with his gigantic fist, and a shark pops out from under the Kraken. The Crew, with Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro on the outside, get sucked into the trench and end up in the Deep Sea, considered the "Underworld" of the sea.

Long summary
The chapter starts with the rest of the crew shocked by Luffy's declaration that he will tame the kraken. Luffy wanted to tame it so it could pull their ship. Usopp and Chopper try to deter Luffy by pointing out the creature's immense size and mythical, legendary status. Brook comments that he, a meatless skeleton, feels like the antipode to the kraken. Franky says that the creature looks tasty, while Robin sketches it, much to Chopper's shock at everyone's calm demeanor, saying how rarely seen it is. Zoro says he would not mind catching it and asks Luffy if he has a plan. Luffy says that the problem is that they are in the ocean. Usopp contradicts him, saying that the kraken's size was the main problem while Nami gives the order to turn the rudder to the south. Luffy tells her instead to head straight for the kraken. Nami points out one of the crushed ships and asks Luffy if he wants that to happen to them. Sanji backs up Nami, almost having a nosebleed in the process but controlling himself at the last second. Usopp, who is shocked by this, commends the chef. Chopper explains that it is the result of his rehabilitation and the fact that Nami is wearing a coat. Caribou is shocked by everyone's behavior, saying that in this situation, running away would be the proper, expected thing to do.

All of a sudden, Coribou and the Caribou Pirates' ship reappear. Caribou is delightedto see his brother and crew. Coribou shouts that he will save his brother. Before Coribou can save his brother, one of the kraken's gigantic tentacles descends on and wraps around the Coribou's ship, bursting the coating bubble and crushing it. Coribou and the rest of the Caribou Pirates are all in shock while floating in the deep ocean. The Straw Hat Pirates and Caribou are all stunned by this sight. Caribou seems slightly devestated by the loss of his crew, saying "Ohhhh, my bastards." When Zoro comments that they all look jellyfish floating in the water, Caribou tells him to shut up, calling him Roronoa. The kraken them turns its attention to the Strawhat Pirates. Zoro starts to pull out his sword and Luffy gets ready to go into Gear Third. Usopp stops both of them, saying their attacks would break the bubble. Franky says that they will dodge it with Chicken Voyage. Nami tells Franky to use Coup de Burst to propel them into the current so they can escape. Franky says they can't, as the amount of air required to use Coup de Burst or Gaon Cannon. Nami then asks what they are going to do. Luffy says they won't do anything, since he is going to fight the kraken.
