Little Garden Arc

Little Garden arc is the ninth story arc in the manga/anime series One Piece. It is the third arc in the Baroque Works Saga, chronicling the group's stop at pre-historic island and their battles with four of the Baroque Work officers. It is followed by the Drum Island arc.

It was left out of the 4Kids dub, presumably due to its violent content which would've been difficult to downplay even for them. Little Garden is the second island the Straw Hat Pirates encounter on the Grand Line. It is a summer island, which is unpopulated except by dinosaurs and two giants named Dorry and Broggy.

Chapters 115-129 (Volume 13-15), 15 chapters total

Episodes 70-78 (N/A)

With a newly acquired Princess Vivi on board, the Straw Hats soon find themselves on the island of Little Garden, which is a misnomer as the island is anything but little- it is stuck in the prehistoric time period and teeming with huge dinosaurs and massive plant life. While Usopp and Nami feel uncomfortable leaving the ship, Vivi and Luffy decide to go explore the island. They soon meet Dorry, a giant warrior from the village of Elbaf who befriends them. Meanwhile, still back on the ship, Usopp and Nami are left alone when Sanji and Zoro decide to compete against each other to see who can bring back the most amount of meat. They are terrified when Broggy, another giant, shows up and decapitates a Tyrannosaurus Rex. He decides to bring them home with him, much to their alarm.

Elsewhere, Baroque Works agents Mr. 5, Miss Valentine, Mr. 3 and his partner Miss Goldenweek come together and reveal the 100,000,000 beli bounty on each of the giant's heads and it is suggested by Mr. 3 that they kill them, along with the Straw Hats.

Back at Dorry's campsite, Dorry explains that Broggy and he are forever destined to continue their 100 year long war, which was started over a reason Dorry had long forgotten (it is later revealed that a quarrel about their hunting competition which resulted in their exile from Elbaf). When Dorry and Broggy are just about to continue their bout, Dorry suffers from an internal explosion from his intake of the Straw Hats' wine, that of which was tampered by Mr. 5 and his Devil Fruit abilities. When Dorry chose to continue fighting Broggy despite his injuries, Broggy noticed a deficiency in his performance but was too late in identifying the perpetrators.

A series of battles begins as the Officer Agents try to kill or capture the Straw Hats and their giant hosts. Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek capture Nami, Vivi and Zoro and imprison them in a trap which slowly turns them into wax sculptures. It is up to Luffy, Usopp and Carue to defeat Mr. 5, Mr.3, Miss Goldenweek and Miss Valentine before this happens. With the giants' help they succeed and all four agents are put out of action.

Meanwhile, Sanji enjoys tea in Mr. 3's candle house and receives a call from Mr. 0 (referred to by other parties as Sir Crocodile) who mistook him for Mr. 3. He is ordered to go to Arabasta (later revealed to be a ploy to make assassinating him easier for Mr. 2) by way of the permanent Log Pose which is sent by the Unluckies, Mr. 13 and Miss Friday who attack Sanji and are defeated upon making the delivery. Dorry and Broggy bid farewell to the Straw Hats by destroying a Giant Goldfish who eats ships leaving the island. With that the Straw Hats head for Arabasta using an Eternal Pose they got from the Unluckies.
