Episode 889

"Finally, It Starts - The Conspiracy-filled Levely!" is the 889th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
As Rosward and Charlos are returning to their home, Sabo and his comrades hold a strategy meeting.

Inside Pangaea Castle, the king and queens gather in the conference room to begin the Levely. Meanwhile, the Five Elders have a secret meeting with the mysterious individual known as Imu.

Long Summary
Sabo and other elite Revolutionary Army officers hide underground as Rosward and Charlos leaves the area. Having learned the tragic truth about Kuma, Sabo thinks about Kuma's actions.

During the Straw Hat Pirates' first adventure to Sabaody Archipelago, they were faced against Kizaru, whom they had no hopes of beating. Although apparently siding with Kizaru, Kuma sent the Straw Hat Pirates away to separate islands so they would not be killed. The time the Straw Hat Pirates spent apart allowed them to become stronger when they reunited two years later. Sabo acknowledges that Kuma's sacrifices were necessary for Luffy to rise as a pirate in the New World.

The Levely finally begins and the monarchs sit at their seats for the debate. The monarchs consider offering intervention in the upcoming conflict in Wano Country, but they oppose the idea.

Meanwhile, the Five Elders walk through the corridor while the monarchs are at the Levely. They agree that the conflict in Wano is out of their control. The mysterious hooded figure, Imu, is also summoned. He meets with the Five Elders at the throne room and sits on the empty throne. The Five Elders bow at Imu's feet and ask for advice.
