Episode 929

"The Bond Between Prisoners - Luffy and Old Man Hyo!" is the 929th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
In the Ringo region, Kanjuro meets up with Shinobu's group at the Northern Cemetery. In Ebisu Town, Law's group learns from a newspaper that a funeral for Komurasaki will be held and that Kid escaped from Udon prison, the place where Chopper's group and Big Mom are currently traveling to.

In Udon prison, Hyogoro tries to make good use of the meal tickets that Luffy generously gave to him, but Daifugo approaches and torments the elderly man.

Long Summary
Kanjuro meets with Nami's group in a snowy cottage far away from the Flower Capital. Kanjuro states that the most powerful yakuza twenty years ago was Hyogoro, who was far more humane and caring than Kyoshiro was at the party. They also report their findings; Robin was unable to get any useful information, but Brook found a Poneglyph, though it was not red. They decide to go back to the Flower Capital to relax at a bathhouse.

Sanji's group is also hiding in Ebisu Town. They read the news, which tells of Komurasaki's death and Kid's escape from prison. Law predicts that Luffy will be part of an uprising in Udon. However, Sanji asks if there is a bathhouse, causing the others to tackle Sanji. A group of children enters and plays with Sanji's raid suit can.

The Big Mom Pirates are back at the bottom of the waterfall. They cannot go back up because King is defending the top. They know that Big Mom survived the fall as Perospero's Vivre Card is still intact, so they decide to wait at the bottom for any news.

Big Mom and Chopper's group ride on a crocodile towards Udon. Strangely, Kiku forbids Tama and Momonosuke from using the word "sunacchi," stating that it is inappropriate to use. Kiku then explains the structure of Wano Country, which is divided in six regions. Kuri is in the far west and Udon is just east of it. The other four regions are Kibi, a wasteland, the Flower Capital at the center, Ringo, a snowy region, and Hakumai, a port region. Separated from the mainland is an island named Onigashima.

In Udon, Luffy once again helps the old man Hyo by breaking rocks and giving him meal tickets. However, he is interrogated by Alpacaman about Kid's escape. Alpacaman, a SMILE fruit user, covers Luffy in smelly spit. Hyo is also beaten by Daifugo, a scorpion SMILE fruit user, for getting his food tickets from someone else. Witnessing the beating, Luffy walks up to confront Daifugo.

 * The anime adds the following:
 * A scene of Kanjuro arriving at the hiding spot of Shinobu's group.
