Episode 497

"Leaving the Dadan Family!? The Secret Base is Complete!" is the 497th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
It was an ordinary day for Luffy, Ace and Sabo until Garp came and started punching them for still wanting to be pirates. Then Ace, Luffy and Sabo decided that they would have to run or Garp would kill them the next day. So they stole some materials to build a hideout from Garp to keep them safe from Garp's beatings. Once completed, their hideout has the appearance of a pirate ship.

Anime Notes

 * Dadan as a beautiful young lady, similar to what was shown in the One Piece Green Databook as "Dadan in her youth", is shown here in Dadan's dream, although she looks a bit more friendly here.﻿ It is unknown if Dadan was dreaming of her young self or just beautified herself in the dream.
 * It is shown that the reason Ace, Sabo, and Luffy build a hideout is to hide from Garp. Also it shows that they get the materials for the hideout from the Gray Terminal.
 * It is shown that Luffy is really close to Makino, as displayed when Makino and Woop Slap visited him. When Luffy saw Makino, he immediately hugged her.
