Episode 881

"Going into Action - The Implacable New Fleet Admiral Sakazuki" is the 881st episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
At New Marineford, Sakazuki discovers that Fujitora has gone to Mary Geoise. He then orders for Ryokugyu to send him away. Meanwhile, Sengoku recalls the incidents at Impel Down and Marineford two years ago.

Long Summary
Two years have passed since the Summit War of Marineford. Sakazuki is now the new Fleet Admiral of the Marines. Due to the catastrophic destruction of Marineford, the Marines decided to build a new headquarters named New Marineford. New Marineford is an even greater fortress built to acclimate to the raging pirate era. It has become the new home of justice located at the entrance to the New World.

Sakazuki is angered when he learns that Fujitora has gone to Mary Geoise. He had only allowed the Admiral to set foot on a Marine base if he had captured Luffy and Law. Fujitora rationalizes his visit by saying that Mary Geoise isn't technically a Marine base. Sakazuki then finds out that Ryokugyu is also at Mary Geoise, so he orders T-Bone to have Ryokugyu turn Fujitora away when he sees him.

He and Borsalino talk about how Luffy's bounty has gone significantly higher. This makes Sakazuki regret not ending Luffy's life when he had the chance back in Marineford. He curses the Great Pirate Era and vows to end it. He recalls Whitebeard saying that, like there are people who have inherited Roger's will, there will also be others who will inherit Ace's. He adds that no matter how they might destroy their spirit, no one will be able to extinguish their flame.

Meanwhile, Sengoku also muses about how quickly the Great Pirate Era gathered so much momentum in just two years. He commends Luffy for making history by being the first intruder to infiltrate Impel Down. Even if he snuck in alone, Luffy was able to escape with an army of inmates who had become allies, including former enemies. He also notes Luffy's ability to make miracles happen, such as when the Gates of Justice opened for Luffy's ship as he and some inmates tried to escape. He then recalls the events in Marineford, such as Whitebeard's arrival, the intense battle between the Marines and Whitebeard's fleet, and Luffy falling from the sky to rescue Ace.
