Episode 494

"Enter Sabo! The Boy From Gray Terminal" is the 494th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
Luffy discovers the end of the forest is a slum dumpster named Gray Terminal, a lawless area full of homeless people searching for valuables thrown out by the town's people. While Luffy searches for Ace, Ace attacks two men carrying treasure and robs them. Luffy then sees Ace running towards forest to meet Sabo and follows after him. He ends up discovering their secret stash, much to the two older boys' panic. They end up tying Luffy and decide to kill him (though neither have killed before and don't know where to start). After listening to their conversation Luffy starts screaming, which identifies their location to Porchemy who was looking for the ones who stole their crew's loot. Ace, Sabo and Luffy hide behind the bushes, but Luffy is immediately captured. When Luffy is asked where the money and valuables are, he tries to lie unconvincingly. Porchemy plans to beat Luffy into telling him and they return to their hideout. Meanwhile Ace and Sabo move the treasure, as they believe Luffy will tell everything to Porchemy in time. But Luffy denies any knowledge and continues to be tortured by Porchemy. Soon Sabo figures out that Luffy won't ever tell Porchemy. And so he and Ace run to Luffy's rescue.
