Chapter 599

Chapter 599 is called "9 Pirates".

Cover
Luffy is shown eating while asleep on Skypea 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 Strawhats 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. Frank comments on Brook's newfound success and wonders whether or not he'll actually return to the 'pirate life'. Brooke is shown in concert, singing. The chapter progresses as the Fake Strawhats 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 Strawhats. Chopper storms off to find Robin. As he walks away Marines are revealed behind the corner reporting to G1 that the Strawhats 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 the pirate ship that he accidentally boarded in half.

Chapter notes

 * Luffy is shown using controlled Haki for the first time.
 * The real name of Fake Robin is revealed.
 * Luffy's bounty is revealed to have increased to 400,000,000 following the events at Impel Down and Marineford.
 * Zoro is now illustrated correctly, with his left eye cut, rather than his right (a mistake by Oda).
 * The new Franky is shown, stating that this will be his 'last model change'.
 * The Thousand Sunny is ready for departure. Some of Sunny's weaponry has been updated by Franky.
 * This chapter titled "9 Pirates" could be a subtle way of saying The Straw Hats will get their ninth member at some point in Sabaody Archipelago not counting Luffy since Oda dose not count Luffy since hes the Captian.
