Episode 309

"Feelings Put Into Fists! Luffy's Full-Power Gatling" is the 309th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
The Straw Hat Pirates continue their fight against the Marines while Usopp reveals himself to Luffy and encourages him to stand once more. Zoro has his Yubashiri destroyed by the Sabi Sabi no Mi user. Rob Lucci traps Luffy using his tail and does his strongest Rokuougan on Luffy. With Luffy's memories of why Nico Robin left, he forces himself to stand. Luffy defeats Rob Lucci using his most powerful attack, Gomu Gomu no Jet Gatling, which breaks Lucci through the wall and astounds all the Marines.

Long Summary
The Straw Hats are still fighting the Marines, while Luffy holds off Lucci, who are preventing them from crossing the Bridge of Hesitation. Franky is shown firing a Weapon's Left into a crowd of Marines, which prompts one who is wearing boxing gloves to charge him. Franky easily dispatches him with raw power, throwing his back past the group he is fighting. The Marines wonder out loud "what is with those pirates", saying how well they fight and how they are easily beating the captains of the ships they came from.

The scene moves to the stairs leading down to the dock at the end of the Bridge of Hesitation, and a Marine being taken out by Robin's Hana Hana no Mi. The Marine's then realize she is a Devil's Fruit User and quickly rush her. Robin easily defeats them using a Cien Fleur: Flip as they are running down the stairs, causing them all to trip and fall the rest of the way. The resulting pile of Marines at the bottom of the stairs is then struck by a Thunderbolt Tempo from Nami. A few of the Marines get up, which causes Nami to say they are different than the others she has fought so far (most likely due to them being Commanders and Captains as opposed to the standard Petty Officers and other infantry-like Marines).

Back up top, Zoro is shown battling a group of Marines who are fighting with Swords. Zoro takes out two of them with a "Nitōryū: Hawk Wave". He asks the group who is next, and two more Marines quickly jump into view. Zoro looks over his shoulder and notices Usopp, who has removed his Sogeking mask and is holding it in his right hand.

Usopp is looking out with a worried face back towards where Luffy and Lucci are fighting, the area being easily visible now since Luffy previously busted through the wall using his Gear Third move Hone Fusen: Gomu Gomu no Gigant Pistol). Usopp yells for Luffy to get up, who is on the ground bloodied and out of breathe. Luffy manages to turn his head slightly, who realizes (after some trouble focusing) that it is Usopp standing there and not Sogeking, to which he mutters "Usopp...you came too?". Usopp then quickly says how he only came "just to save Robin" and that he wasn't there to see Luffy. Zoro is shown scoffing at Usopp, calling him an idiot for bringing that up during a situation like they are currently in. Usopp then being taunting Lucci, calling him "CP9's Boss Cat]], saying that he is now his opponent. Usopp claims to have 5000 followers, saying he has traveled the entire Grand Line, destroying island after island, saying he can defeat the entire World Government with a single finger. Lucci is unimpressed, glaring back at Usopp out of the corner of his eye. Usopp then says "Come and fight me if you dare, you worthless little kitten!", which finally grabs Lucci's attention.

As Lucci starts walking towards Usopp, Luffy tells him to leave Usopp alone and to stop. Lucci tells Luffy that he has no more business with him now that he is defeated, and to just watch from there as he kills all of them. Usopp eggs Lucci on again, telling him that he will send Lucci flying. Luffy tells Usopp to stop and asks if he is crazy because Lucci is going to kill him. Usopp then throw it back in Luffy's face, asking what he is going to do about it when Luffy is so close to death. Luffy responds "I'm going to kick his ass!", to which Usopp replies "Then stand up! Stop looking like you are about to die! It's not like you!". Luffy struggles to get up, but only coughs up more blood and falls back down. Usopp tells Luffy that they can still see the sky, the sea, and that "this place isn't Hell", telling him to "stop looking like you are going to die, bastard!" and to stop making him worry.

Lucci reaches the edge of the destroyed tower, and asks Usopp if he is finished. Luffy then says "Got it.", acknowledging Usopp's pleas. As the camera moves to the side, Luffy is seen back on his feet in his typical Gear Second stance. Usopp calls out "Beat him! Then we'll all go back together!" to which Luffy responds, screaming, "No Matter What!", which starts the steam coming off Luffy's body to double in speed. Luffy says that he is not going to give up, and that until he beats him he is not going down anymore.

Lucci releases his Rokushiki technique Life Return, returning to his larger Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard form. He tells Luffy he is tired of his interference, and that he is going to defeat him with a single powerful blow. He says that Luffy shouldn't worry about his crew, and that they would all be together soon in Hell.

As Luffy and Lucci lunge at eachother, the scene switches again to Nami and Robin, who are out of breathe and surrounded by Marines.
