Chapter 599

Chapter 599 is called "9 Pirates".

Cover
Luffy is shown eating while asleep as sheep steal his food.

Short Summary
The rest of the Strawhats are shown in further detail. Luffy is shown on the Kuja Pirates' ship prior to landing on Sabaody (again refusing to marry Boa Hancock). The confrontation between the Fake Straw Hats and Luffy is resolved by him dodging a bullet and rendering them unconscious using his haki. Robin is shown arriving at the Thousand Sunny, meeting up with the new and improved Battle Franky. Franky comments on Brook's newfound success and wonders whether or not he'll actually return to the 'pirate life'. Brook is shown in concert, singing. The chapter progresses as the Fake Straw Hats regain consciousness. Fake Luffy hardens his resolve to find Luffy, Nami and Usopp. However, Fake Luffy is informed that Fake Robin (Cocoa) has been kidnapped. He decides to leave her behind, which angers Chopper, who is still under the impression that they are the real Straw Hats. Chopper storms off to find Robin. As he walks away Marines are revealed behind the corner reporting to G1 that the Straw Hats are alive. Sentoumaru hears of this and decides to take himself, PX-5 and PX-7 to Sabaody. The chapter ends with Sanji witnessing a one-eyed Zoro emerging from the ocean, having cut in half a pirate ship that he accidentally boarded.
