Luffy Falls! Adventure in the Uncharted Ocean's Navel
It's anther peaceful day aboard the Going Merry, and Nami begins to yell at Luffy for urinating in the ocean. Nami watches Luffy while he is on fishing duty and can't believe how naïve he is. When he catches something big, it starts to drag the ship backwards instead of forward. Eventually, the fishing line gets caught on a rocky crater, with a chest chained to it.

While Luffy is disappointed about not getting anything to eat, Nami is interested in opening the chest. She opens it to find a skull inside. Usopp reads the back of the skull, finding the engraving about a treasure that can make anyone's dream come true, and that it lies deep in the Ocean's Navel. Then a large hole begins to form near the crater they crashed into. Usopp, Nami, and Sanji prepare themselves in a diving barrel to explore the crater, with Luffy in charge of the rope crank.

The ride is smooth until Luffy gets distracted with a message in a bottle, causing the diving barrel to fall faster into the naval. Luffy manages to get hold of the rope, with the barrel barely crashing into the surface of the naval. The trio leave the barrel and find themselves in a ship graveyard, where they are met by a talking, laughing bat who says he will guide them to the treasure. While the bat explains the treasure and Captain Joke to them, Nami and Usopp realize that a monster is after them, but are saved when Sanji begins to fight it off. As Sanji is fighting the monster off, The Going Merry falls onto the monster, killing it. As Sanji tries to recover from fighting the monster, Nami and Usopp decide to go ahead to find the treasure.

While Zoro was fighting against another one of the monsters under Joke's control, with help from Meroie, Sanji shows up Sanji shows up and delivers the finishing blow. Zoro is glad that Sanji is there, but then gets immediately annoyed at Sanji's behavior towards Meroie. After Joke is defeated, the monsters and treasure disappear, and Zoro, Sanji, and Meroie reunite with the others. When the Straw Hats leave the island, Hamu tells Meroie that he hadn't asked their names, but she states that it doesn't matter since they are just a bunch of pirates, to which Hamu agrees. He looks at the Straw Hats' ship sail away and smiles.

Clockwork Island Adventure
Having found a sunny, peaceful island in the midst of their voyage, the Straw Hat Pirates disembark and relax on the beach together. Their relaxing day is ruined when Luffy not only go on about a toy windmill that he finds on the beach, but later when Luffy sees The Going Merry sailing away, as the ship has been stolen to everyone’s shock.

With no possessions and forced to rent a small paddleboat and clothes from a nearby wedding shop, the crew chases their ship, only to run into a boy floating in the water. After stopping to help, they are caught in a net, realizing that the boy, Akisu lured them into a trap alongside his brother, another thief named Borodo. After seeing that they had nothing to steal, the pair let the straw hats go and introduced themselves. Then they explained that they were planning to steal the legendary Diamond Clock, which is located on Clockwork Island, which is where the Going Merry is currently headed. When asked why, the brothers explained that the Island was taken over by the Trump Pirates which is led by a pirate named Bear King, and that they are the ones who took their ship. As they began explaining who the Trump Pirates were and how big of fleet they had, the group soon became surrounded by a part of the fleet.



The fleet was commanded by two members of the Trump Pirates, Boo Jack and Honey Queen, who soon corners the brothers' boat. Despite Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji happily fighting back, Usopp frantically rows the boat away when the pirates almost capsize them all, accidentally causing Akisu to drop a music box in the sea, and causing Akisu to force Usopp to stop so Borodo can retrieve it. Borodo manages to get the box, but the Trump Pirates catch up as a result, destroying the boat, and even kidnapping Nami to be their captain's new bride.

After salvaging enough of the boat to make a raft, the remaining Straw Hats, along with Akizu and Borodo, make their way to Clockwork Island, and listen to Akisu's past. As they arrive, they see a small, barren rock in the sea, which Borodo explains is the entrance to the Island. Atop this rock stands a huge spiral staircase, stretching far beyond the clouds. This staircase leads to the "true" Clockwork Island, a hill town full of scientists and engineers. The hill is topped by a great castle, which houses the delicate engine keeping the island stable; for seven years, Bear King has commandeered it as his base, Trump Castle, using the people of the island to build a weapon powerful enough to help him become the king of the pirates, the King Cannon. As they go up the staircase, they storm through trap after trap as Sanji kicks boulders apart bare footed so they can continue to going up the staircase, even though his feet are bleeding as a result. Eventually, they reach the top of the staircase, though extremely exhausted and begin to head to Trump Castle.

As Borodo spots both the Diamond Clock and the Going Merry at the top of the castle, the group decides to go into town first for food and clothes. After finding both, they soon meet the town's chief engineers, who explain the town's current situation and tells the group to leave while they still can. Despite them telling the group to leave, they head straight to the castle by parasail, but are attacked by the Trump Pirates, Honey Queen and Boo Jack once again. In the ensuing battle, Sanji is tricked into kicking one of Boo Jack's spiked weapons, while the others try not to get flooded by Honey Queen's devil fruit power. While the others manage to escape, Sanji falls into the landmine-ridden hill, completely incapacitated and leading to his capture by the Trump Pirates.

While Sanji is taken to the Castle, he is met by an elated Bear King and a horrified Nami, and while she was worried about him, Sanji was simply happy that she was okay, with Sanji angered by Bear King's affection towards Nami, and Sanji mockingly stating that his relationship with her is better, which angers the Bear King. Later, Bear King was filled with joy when the Hyena Three brought in the newly completed King Cannon. However, when Sanji continued to mock the Bear King and told him that he had rubbed lotion on Nami's back, Bear King beat Sanji and ordered him to be executed, with Sanji being crucified in the process. Later, Usopp and Zoro were also captured and crucified as well, with the Bear King preparing to test out his new weapon on them, despite Nami's outrage. Luckily, he was stopped when Borodo came to stop the Bear King with dynamite, however he hesitated due to not wanting to damage island's key. While Borodo and later Akisu is being beaten by Bear King for their actions, Luffy reaches the top, and he randomly grabs a stick of dynamite and "plays" with it, causing everyone to freak out and make Luffy toss it away, causing an explosion, which accidentally frees the rest of the Straw Hats.



After being freed, the Straw Hats, despite being upset by Luffy's antics, rally for another fight with the Trump Pirates, with Sanji shielding Nami from an attack from Boo Jack. In response, Boo Jack laughed at Sanji and asked what he was going to do with his bleeding feet. After getting his shoes back from Usopp, Sanji prepares to finish things with Boo Jack. As Boo Jack ridiculed him about what that a difference his shoes would make and he then spun at Sanji in his spiked armor. However, Sanji easily kicked him away and then defeated him after a few more kicks. As the Straw Hats defeats the members of the Trump Pirates, Luffy gets into an intense fight with the Bear King, who ends up using the King Cannon on Luffy. This backfired as Luffy caught the bullet and shot it back at the Bear King, sending him crashing into the King Cannon and through the floors of the castle. As the Bear King was defeated and the impact from Luffy's attack using the King Cannon's bullet caused the island to collapse, the townspeople watched as the castle and hill collapsed.

Sanji and the others got onboard the Going Merry and made a dangerous escape attempt using a large piece of canvas as an emergency parachute, which did lead to them landing back into the water safely. With the island destroyed, the islanders pledge to seize the future that the Thief Brothers and the Straw Hats staked their lives for, and build a new homeland elsewhere on the sea. Hearing this, and the crew sees an alive Akisu, who is quickly reunited with his mother, who was one of the chief engineers, after seeing this, Borodo decides to leave Akisu with his real family.

As they leave the ruins of Clockwork Island, the Straw Hats and Borodo quietly sail their separate ways. Despite the Straw Hats' questions, Borodo tearfully insists that he and Akisu can't stay together anymore now that he's found his real family. Despite this, Akisu boards Borodo's boat and shocks everyone by stating that not even his blood family can erase what he truly is: a man of the sea, and Borodo's brother. As the two tearfully reunite, the Straw Hats happily sail away, ready for their next adventure.

Warship Island Arc
Back on the Going Merry, Luffy asks Nami if they reached the Grand Line yet, and she tells him no. Usopp then spots a flock of birds off their starboard side and Luffy sees something in the water and stretches his hand out to grab what he thinks will be a fish. The crew are all surprised when he pulls in a girl instead and accidentally knocks Zoro off the edge of the boat. The girl is unconscious but wakes up when she smells Sanji's cooking. After learning that she is on a pirate ship, she freaks out and refuses to eat any food given to her.

Later in the night, Sanji and the rest of the crew are awoken to both Luffy and the girl in the kitchen, after the later witnessed Luffy getting caught in a giant mousetrap set by Sanji to prevent people from stealing from the kitchen. After being reassured that they were not evil and would let her take what she wants to eat, the girl introduced herself as Apis the next morning after making everyone breakfast. She tells them that she is from Warship Island, but refuses to tell them why she is being chased by the Marines. After a Marine ship begins attacking the Going Merry, the crew manage to avoid and escape the Marines, but only to end up stranded in the Calm Belt.

The Merry ends up atop the head of a Sea King as the crew are surrounded entirely by them. After Apis manages to pull out the Sea King's nostril hair, it sneezes, causing the Going Merry to be blown back out of the calm belt into the regular seas. After this, the group start sailing to Warship Island to take Apis home. As they reach the port, Apis had to persuade the locals not to attack the Straw Hats, telling them that they were the ones who rescued her. After doing so, Apis' grandfather, Bokuden shows up, and tells Apis to come home, and invites the Straw Hats for dinner. While waiting, the group asks Bokuden why the Marines are after Apis, to which he asks Apis the same question, only for her to refuse to answer. Bokuden then tells them about the island's old legend about the Lost Island, the millennial dragons, a substance called Dragonite, and the Elixir of Immortality.

A day later, Luffy and Nami come back with Apis and tells the others the truth about why the Marines are after her, and they tell them about her pendant and about the millennial dragon Ryu. With Luffy wanting to help Apis and Ryu, the crew prepare to get the two of them off the island before the Marines show up. Unfortunately, the Marines of the 8th Branch, led by Nelson Royale already have the island surrounded, and they even have a mercenary by the name of Eric hunting the two. Everyone splits into groups, Usopp and Zoro move the ship into position, Nami and Apis get Ryu onto a cart, and Luffy and Sanji fight off the Marines. Despite all this, the group still have trouble shaking off Eric, as he hunts them with his Kama Kama no Mi, but manage to lose him in a mirage.

After going into the mirage, the crew spot an island hidden in the mirage and go towards it. After reaching the island, Ryu is still unsure if the island they are on is the Lost Island, so they go to the top of the mountain to find the Dragon's nest. Instead, they find a building with a dragon emblem. While trying to find the entrance, they end up falling down into a underground temple. After examining the temple ceiling and its paintings, Nami comes to the conclusion that the Lost Island is actually hidden beneath Warship Island, and a sleeping Ryu wakes up and confirms her theory. As Eric shows up, the others flee with Apis and Ryu, while Zoro holds him off. After the crew manage to get Ryu's cart back to the Merry, Luffy stretches out his arm and pulls Zoro back onto the ship. The crew then escape Eric and sail out of the mirage.

Even after the crew escape and make it to the Lost Islands' coordinates, Nelson's fleet manage to blockade them, with Eric and lieutenant Hardy's ship closing in. As the ship becomes blockaded with giant chains, the crew starts to board the Marines ships to kick the Marines out. The crew battle the Marines while Zoro tries to cuts the chains apart, however as they are doing this, Eric makes it to Ryu's cart. As Eric comes and takes Ryu and Apis, an angry Ryu knocks Eric into the water after knocking Apis back. As Ryu starts to finally fly, Nelson has his ship fire several cannonballs at Ryu, to everyone horror. As Ryu falls to the water, he asks Luffy to keep Apis safe. As this happens, Ryu lets out one final roar, leading to the Lost Island rising from the ocean, and multiple dragons flying from it. After this happens, the straw hats begin their counterattack once again, with Luffy and Sanji fighting off the Marines and Zoro cutting the chains connecting their ship to the Marines.

While Luffy decides to finish off the Marines, the other reach the Lost Island with Apis, upon doing so they learn that the so-called substance called dragonite meant for creating the Elixir of Immortality was in fact the fossils of ancient sennenryus. After Luffy destroys Nelson's Ship, he gets on land and makes it to the others, after which he tells Apis Ryu's final message to her; that when the dragons die, they are reborn in the nest. Seconds later, a baby dragon hatches from an egg, with the baby supposedly being a reborn Ryu. The baby screeches at Apis, and she cries happily agreeing with what it's telling her.

Unfortunately, both Nelson and Eric show up, however an angry Eric slashes Nelson and proposes a deal with the straw hats. He states that he wants to split the dragonite and the immortality with them, but a critical Nami points out that the fossilized sennenryus that make up the dragonite couldn't possibly be used to make the Elixir. That's when Eric states that the alive sennenryus could, which upsets Apis, who runs towards him out of anger. As Eric tries to attack her, Usopp and Zoro protect her, and Luffy tells them all to stop, and that he’ll be the one to beat him, because he promised Ryu he would. Eventually Luffy does succeed in taking Eric down.

As the Straw Hats get ready to leave Warship Island again, they are met by Apis and Bokuden. Luffy asks Apis if she wants to come with them, to which she replies that she would like to but she will stay in the village to protect the Dragon's Nest. The Straw Hats set sail and say goodbye. Then Usopp asks the rest of the crew if Apis will be fine and Sanji, Luffy and Zoro all say that she will be okay. As the Straw Hats finally reach the entrance to the Grand Line, they have a rough time going through Reverse Mountain, which is made even worse by Eric showing back up and telling them that if any of them move and he will tear the ship apart. Nami warns him that there is Dragonite besides him, and he falls for it and she kicks his leg, throwing him to the current. With Eric officially gone, the crew celebrate as they enter the Grand Line.

Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals
Following a lead from an old treasure map, the Straw Hats set sail for Crown Island, with everyone ready for a new adventure; except Chopper, who worries over every possible danger. While the others tease Chopper, the Going Merry suddenly begins shaking. Rushing above-deck, the Straw Hats find the sea erupting with dozens of massive geysers, one of which directly strikes the Merry and launches it high into the air. In midair, the crew can see the entirety of the island, and the crown-like ring of steam its surrounding geysers produce, but then the ship starts to fall and crash land on the island, accidentally Knocking Chopper off the ship in the process.

As Chopper vanishes in the forest, the others land in the far-off shore, with several bizarre animals surrounding them, including a Bald Parrot. The crew was taken aback when the Parrot started speaking english, but then listened as he explained that he was the elder of the island, and the island was filled with animals as intelligent as him. He then explains that for years, the creatures of the island lived peacefully under the rule of the Kirin Lion, but their ruler passed away and now the kingdom needs a new ruler, one that falls in line an ancient prophecy.

After listening to the story, the crew hears a celebration happening in the mountains, and they go to investigate, with Usopp giving everyone animal themed disguises to blend in. On the way though, the celebrating is cut short by the arrival of the islands natural predators, the Horn Eaters, a herd of armored beasts. As everyone runs away, Luffy gets targeted by the beasts due to his costume having fake horns. Panicked, Luffy snaps them off, but throws them straight ahead, leading the Horn-Eaters to trample him anyways, with the others watching annoyed.

Later, the Straw Hats stumble across a cliff-side camp where the Horn-Eaters have been trapping and trampling scores of horned animals. They soon come to learn that the beasts are being controlled by a man named Battler, who's collecting horns in an attempt to find a treasure on the island said to have power that could shake worlds. Realizing that he told the Straw Hats too much, he controls the Horn Eaters with a special hypnotic violin and orders them to attack, unfortunately Luffy was also effected by the hypnotic music and goes on a rampage knocking himself and the crew over a cliff and into a crocodile filled river. Once Luffy is out of range, he grabs everyone and breaks their fall with his rubber body.

The straw hats then see dozens of dehorned animals along the riverbanks. Realizing how much damage Battler has already done, the crew start to worry more about Chopper, while doing that they notice the Bald Parrot from earlier flying above. They ask for his help, and he agrees to take them to the mountain to meet the new king of the beasts, unaware that they are being followed by Battler and his men, Heaby and Hotdog. Once they reach the top of the mountain, however, they are surprised to learn that the new king is Chopper, and while Chopper is happy to see them, Mobambi; the only human resident of the island, and a talking bird named Karasuke, who thinks they are invaders, and asks Chopper to fight them. Chopper tells the animals that the Straw Hats are safe, and so he leads the Straw Hats over to a great feast so they can eat together. Mobambi demands what's so great about the Straw Hats, and when the animals hear that they are pirates and when Luffy asked for meat, the animals flee in terror thinking Luffy is going to eat them. Nami asks Karasuke about the treasure of Crown Island, but Usopp says that they should just grab Chopper and leave.

Unfortunately, a large blast is heard from the distance so the straw hats and the animals go to see what is going on, and they see Battler and his men down below, as he states that the power he is looking for is in the horns of the King of the Beasts. Battler demands that they tell him where the king is and starts playing his violin, so the Horn Eaters start charging. An angry Chopper leaps down and lands in front of Battler declaring himself as the King. Battler stops playing the violin, unconvinced by Chopper's words. Chopper tells him to stop attacking the animals and to call off the Horn Eaters, but Battler says he will only if Chopper beats him. Luffy tries to help, butt is unable to leave the entrance, due to eating to much and becoming fat, which ended up blocking Zoro and Sanji as well.

As Chopper and the others try to divert the Horn Eaters away, Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy arrive, and Zoro and Sanji run off to go help Chopper. Luffy says that Mobambi should go help too, but Mobambi says that he is not strong enough, remembering that he was helpless when his father was killed by pirates. As Chopper is attacked by Heaby and Hotdog, Zoro and Sanji manage to catch up. As Heaby then swings his sword at Chopper, Sanji kicks the platform Heaby is on, separating him from Chopper. As Sanji stands before Heaby, heaby asks who he's supposed to be, with Sanji declaring himself as the Prince. At that moment, Sanji and Heaby square off in a cave, Sanji avoiding each swing and stab that Heaby takes. Sanji aims a kick at Heaby, but Heaby fades away and reappears behind Sanji, slashing him repeatedly.

As Sanji falls before Heaby, cut up badly by Heaby's sword, he says that as long as there is someone to protect, he will risk his life in battle, and he spits his cigarette in Heaby's face as he calls him weak. Sanji gets back up and then delivers a series of harsh kicks to Heaby, defeating him. As Sanji lights another cigarette, he coldly states to heaby that his sword was shit compared to Zoro's. After this, Sanji goes off to find the others.

As Luffy finally defeats Battler once and for all, a day later as Mobambi and Chopper say their tearful goodbyes, the Straw Hats talk about the great party they had after the defeat of Battler. As they head toward their next adventure, Usopp jokes with Chopper about possibly seeing some monsters next, and Luffy happily yells that they will just keep moving, full steam ahead.

Episode of Arabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates
Vivi wakes up on the Going Merry to find Luffy and Usopp fishing with Karoo as bait, and she punishes them by bashing their heads together. They pull up a mysterious okama, who appears extremely grateful to be saved by pirates he does not know. The man reveals that he cannot swim because he ate the Mane Mane no Mi, which allows him to change himself into anyone he has touched the face of. He adds that he can also remember these faces, which allows him to take on the faces of those he touched before, showing several faces to the crew, one of which is Vivi's father Cobra, the king of Arabasta Kingdom. The man then leaves as his crew arrives to pick him up, declaring the Straw Hats his friends despite not knowing them for long. As he leaves, he is called Mr. 2 Bon Kurei by his crew.

When Vivi realizes that the man was a member of Baroque Works and that he could turn into her father, she reveals that Arabasta is in a drought, and her father, King Nefertari Cobra had been framed for using Dance Powder, which forces rain onto the region it is used on at the expense of places downwind, for the capital. She states that the leader of Baroque Works is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who is considered a hero in Arabasta for protecting the nation from pirates. In order to prove their identity should Mr. 2 transform into any of them, the crew each draw an X on their wrists and covers it with a bandage, which they will take off to prove their identity.

The crew reach Yuba, a ghost town that had once been a prosperous oasis before sandstorms ravaged it, causing many of the people to join the rebellion. They encounter an old man named Toto, who is the father of the rebellion's leader, Koza, a childhood friend of Vivi's. As the sun rises, Toto gives Luffy some of the water he dug up. During their travel, Luffy declares that he quits, saying that even if the rebels stop, the threat will continue as long as Crocodile is alive. He adds that Vivi is naïve to think that they can prevent everyone from dying in the battle, and he urges her to, rather than risk only her life, let them help her, which she agrees to. After this, the crew befriend a camel named Matsuge, and they begin to ride his Crab friend, Hasami. Vivi then thanks Luffy for helping her see the truth, and promises him a feast after they save the kingdom.

Crocodile ambushes them almost immediately, using his Suna Suna no Mi abilities to reach and capture Vivi. Pell then shows up and attacks Crocodile and while he fails to injure him, manages to make him let go of Vivi. Crocodile's assistant, Miss All-Sunday uses her powers to ground Pell, then uses Clutch to severely wound him. Luffy intervenes, stretching out and throwing Vivi atop Hasami, staying behind to fight Crocodile.

As the rest of the crew go on to Alubarna without Luffy, Baroque Works' Officer Agents lie in wait, but the crew splits up as decoys for Vivi, allowing her to escape and try to stop the rebellion. Sanji ends up fighting Mr. 2. Sanji is unable to attack Mr. 2 when he transforms into Nami, but manages to find a way to kick through Mr. 2's defenses without hitting him as Nami, defeating him.

After Luffy and Pell save Vivi, the rest of the crew get to regroup, and they attempt to retrace Crocodile's steps to find a bomb he placed in the city that will take everyone out, while Pell searches from the air. They discovers its location in the clock tower and is guarded by Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day, who shoot Pell from the sky. The crew are left with less than one minute, and they work together to launch Vivi into the clock tower, where she easily defeats Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day and cuts the fuse, only to discover that it's a time bomb and cannot be disarmed. Pell, however, shows at the last minute and carries the bomb high above Alubarna, sacrificing himself in the process. As the crew watch Vivi try to stop the fighting, the then see Crocodile fly through the sky and lands in the main square, defeated, knowing that their captain has won. As the fighting finally stops, Cobra then brings Luffy to his crew, meeting them for the first time. The crew then collapse from their injuries and rest in the palace as Vivi stays up, watching the rain.

Three days later, Luffy awakens from his coma, and the crew enjoys a feast for helping save the kingdom. As the eat, Chaka then arrives, informing them that Marine ships have come for the Straw Hats. Nami tells Vivi that she can come with them if she wants, and if she does, she must come to the shore at noon the next day. That night, Vivi wonders if she can truly continue her journey with the Straw Hats. The next day, Vivi, who is supposed to be giving a speech at the palace, instead proceeds to the shore, where the Straw Hats are waiting, initially believe that she would not come. She tells the Straw Hats that she can no longer travel with them, but asks if they will consider her a friend if they meet again. Luffy is about to say yes, but Nami tells him that her being associated with them will make her a criminal, and as they sail away on the Going Merry, the crew says goodbye by showing her the marks on their arms, while Vivi and Karoo does the same, happily saying their goodbyes.

Goat Island Arc
While being chased by the Marines, led by Moore and Minchey, Luffy and his crew get lost in the fog and discover an uncharted island. They find that the island is inhabited only by an old man named Zenny and a multitude of goats. They also find a partially constructed ship on the top of the island.

Because of his bad heart, Zenny probably only has three days to live. Hoping to make his last days good ones, the Straw Hat Pirates help him out and they learn about Zenny's past as a money lender and his dream of becoming a pirate and form his own crew. But realizing that Zenny has outlived Chopper's predictions the Straw Hats decide that after helping him finish his pirate ship, they will leave the island. The Straw Hat Pirates help the old man out while hiding from the Marines and working to get his ship into the water.

With help from Luffy, Zenny and his goats were able to attack the Marines. The Straw Hat pirates then went forth to help him. They defeated Minchey and tied him up. Luffy, then, threw Minchey back on Captain Moore's ship, and Captain Moore allowed them to choose their battle location. Zenny decides to follow his dream and become a pirate, despite his age and they part ways, leaving the island. Luffy, then, pointed to the Marines a foggy area for battle location, which caused Captain Moore's ships to land in a shipwreck due to the rocks. With the Marines out of their way the crew sails off on towards their next adventure.

Ruluka Island Arc
The Straw Hats are being chased by a small fleet of Marine ships led by Major Rapanui Pasqua and Isoka. The crew barely escape when the Major accidentally sinks one of his own ships. The crew then make their way towards an island named Ruluka.

After making landfall, they soon meet Flip, the leader of the Collection Party, a group who collect taxes from the people of Ruluka. He is also the son of the island's mayor, Wetton, who used to be a pirate, and is currently over taxing the people to build the Rainbow Tower. Wetton hires a professor named Henzo to build the tower, and to research a phenomenon called the Rainbow Mist which is located in a ship's graveyard known as the Ape's Concert. As the straw hats eventually meet Henzo, he explains the Rainbow Mist to them, they then hear two townspeople rushing to the harbor to see a galleon and they rush there as well.

Some of the mist begins to arrive as Henzo rushes to the galleon, that he recognizes as the Tarielishin on his small boat. When the mist begins to reach the island, Henzo borrows the Going Merry, with Luffy, Usopp, Robin, and a sleeping Zoro on the ship, into the mist. The inside of the Mist is full of wrecked ships and treasure, and is guarded by a group of kids calling themselves the Pumpkin Pirates. As the rest of the crew end up going to the mist, Nami, Sanji, and Chopper are held up by the grandson of the town’s mayor, Lake over not paying the towns Harbor Taxes. A coin hits Lake in the head knocking him over. He asks Sanji if he was the one that threw the coin at him so Sanji, Nami, and Chopper decide to lie and say it was. Lake picks up the coin and takes that as a payment for the tax to dock their ship in the towns harbor and formally welcomes them to the town. They proceed to the harbor looking for the rest of the crew.

Lake tells them that The Going Merry was last seen heading towards Ape’s Concert beyond a strange mist in the ocean where a ship graveyard is. He tells them that the mayor has announced all the shipwrecks there have untouched cargo just laying around with jewels and coins and tells them Henzo is employed by the government to research how to safely enter the Ape’s Concert and use the Rainbow Tower as a bridge between the island and the Shipwrecks in the mist, just as Luffy propels himself and one of the kids from the mist, outside of the mist. As Wetton finally connected to Henzo's Den Den Mushi, it started ringing but Luffy grabbed it and answered it receiving Wetton's voice. On the other side, Sanji grabbed the Den Den Mushi from Wetton and asked if it was Luffy. Upon discovering they talked to each other, Henzo knew the Rainbow Mist and the Outside World is connected, but so did Wetton who began attacking the crew. Nami tells Sanji and Chopper they need to go inside it to find their friends and hopefully the treasure. As she tries to go into the mist, a Sea King appears before her and the others and started attacking. As the Sea King continues to threaten them, Sanji told Wetton they should help Nami before she gets eaten but Wetton didn’t care.

Realizing that no one would get through the bridge with the Sea King in the way, Flip told Nami about a safety device on the tower to use as a lifeline, and with help from Pasqua, Nami tied the end of the line to her Clima Tact and Nami threw the cross portion and went into the Mist telling them to pull the line if a signal is given. After this, Wetton and his men changed into battle suits and began his assault. Sanji and Chopper were in trouble of being burnt forcing Chopper to eat a Rumble Ball, but still failed because of Lake. Sanji got caught on a net and got burnt, too. When they saw the signal, they did saw a rowboat coming back but Sanji was about to kick Wetton when Lake electrocuted him. Ian saw Ruluka Island and was amazed but mistook Lake to be Wetton. Ian was surprised again for discovering that Wetton had already entered third generation and Wetton secretly whispered what was in the Mist. With the Rainbow Tower completely connected, Sanji and Chopper held off Wetton's forces from entering Ape's Concert to the best of their abilities. However, when Luffy returned to fight Wetton, Wetton decided to blow up the tower, trapping everyone inside. Luckily, everyone on the Going Merry managed to escape thanks to the sacrifice of the Pumpkin Pirates, who stayed behind and helped the Merry escape with an explosive.

As an angry Sanji was preparing to fight Wetton again outside the collapsing Mist, Wetton finally gets arrested by a group of powerful Marines, who turn out to be the older versions of the kids who stayed behind in the Rainbow Mist. They reveal that after the mist collapsed, they were thrown 50 years into the past and became Marines. They decide to let the Straw Hats leave as a thanks, and the crew departs the island of Ruluka, going onwards to their next adventure.

Dead End Adventure
The Straw Hats are now chased by a Marine ship, commanded by Drake. Due to the stormy weather and Nami's exceptional navigational skills, the ship sails away unscathed, leaving the Marine pursuant behind.

The crew reach a town on Hannabal Island. Inside a pirate filled bar, they find out there is a great but very dangerous opportunity through a mysterious door in the bar. As the crew enters the mysterious door they are surprised to see it is the opening to a large tunnel. Inside they find themselves in a large cave filled with pirates, who are all there to compete in the Dead End Race, a very dangerous anything goes sailing competition, which the winner can win up to 300,000,000.

The crew is introduced to the favorites to win that year, 2 giants, Bobby and Pogo, a Fish-Man and former rival of Arlong, Willy and the favorited to win, Gasparde, a former Marine general who deserted after killing his crew. While Nami registers the crew for the race, Luffy gets involved in a fight against Gasparde's crew along with an infamous bounty hunter by the name of Shuraiya Bascùd, as well as meets Gasparde himself which of course ends on bad terms.

The next morning, The crew set sail along with many other pirate ships for the parade start which involves sailing off a waterfall, fighting off other pirates, and navigating sharp turns. Before even reaching the ocean, several pirate crews are wrecked, luckily the Straw Hats manage to pull through with each challenge. However while checking the ship, they find a stowaway, a kid by the name of Anaguma whose come to kill them for their bounties, though find that's impossible after witnessing the crew's strength and power and thus sails along with them for the race.

After a few more encounters one involving the pirate ship of Bigalo the Hangman and sea kings, the Straw Hats arrive at Partia, the supposed finish line of the race. However it turns out to be a Marine stronghold that quickly sinks any incoming pirate ships. Luffy realizes Gasparde rigged the race and the crew manages to escape the stronghold and track down Gasparde's ship using Chopper's nose.

The Straw Hats manage to get to Gasparde's ship, the Salamander, just in time to stop Gasparde from killing Shuraiya. After Luffy knocks out Shuraiya, and starts to fight Gasparde, the rest of the crew board the ship and Anaguma reunites with his grandpa and tries to get him to leave the ship. Instead he sends Anaguma on ahead while he claim he has one last thing to do. As Luffy's fight continues, Sanji is aboard the Salamander and realizes something and goes to look for flour, when he finds Anaguma's Grandfather messing with the Boiler and realizes what he's trying to do. Despite this, Sanji goes topside, and gives Luffy the sacks of flour before rejoining the other Straw Hats. When Anaguma realized that his grandpa is still on Gasparde's ship, he begs the Straw Hats to go back but Zoro knocks him out and reveals that Anaguma is actually a girl, while this is happening, her grandpa causes the boiler to explode and make the ship sink.

As Luffy manages to stay on the sinked wreckage and finish his fight with Gasparde right as a cyclone is coming, Luffy manages to defeat Gasparde and send him flying into the cyclone. After this, he is saved by Anaguma's grandpa along with Shuraiya. As they head for the nearby island, the grandpa reveals that Anaguma was adopted and her real name is Adelle Bascùd, Shuraiya's little sister whom he thought was dead. Despite the awkward reunion, the two come to accept each other.

The Straw Hats close in on the real Partia as the winners of the race but the Marine ships suddenly appear and go after them, forcing them to flee from the island and forfeit their prize money. They let Adelle, Shuraiya, and Grandpa off then wish them good-bye individually before sailing off with the Marines on their tail. Despite not getting the prize money, the Straw Hats continue on for their next big adventure.

The Cursed Holy Sword
When the Straw Hat Pirates dock at Asuka Island, Zoro and Usopp stay behind on the Going Merry to guard it, while the others head into town to restock their supplies. As everyone on the island learns about the legend of the Shichiseiken, Zoro is fast asleep, while Usopp is issuing repairs on the Merry. After Usopp asks a still sleeping Zoro to kick down some wooden boards for repairs, a knife is thrown through the wood, nearly hitting Zoro squarely in the face, if he had not moved his head. However, Zoro is shocked to see his name carved into the knife. As Usopp climbs above deck to get the wood himself, he notices Zoro is suddenly missing.

Later, the crew are escaping a fleet of Marine ships, led by Commander Drake. They still have not found Zoro, but have no time to find him, due to the said Marine attack. At that moment, Luffy decides that they will look for Zoro. Just then, Nami tells the crew that they have to sail into a path surrounded by mountains. Despite Luffy's disagreement, they are forced to take said path, due to the Marines trapping them in a pincer attack. As they sail through the path, they come across a ramp which they are about to make contact with. However, instead of sinking, the Going Merry flies into the sky, while the massive Marine ships are left to crash into one another. However, as it turns out, Luffy has no idea where they would land, and as the ship starts descending, things seemed hopeless for the pirates. However, by chance, they bounce on a Hippo Rhino (which immediately falls in love with the ship), and the Straw Hats are sent flying into a river back on the island.

On the Merry, the Straw Hats are searching everywhere for Zoro, when Chopper discovers a giant lake right ahead of them. There, we see Maya swimming in the lake, before heading towards a shrine, carrying three orbs, and getting prepared to pray to a statue. Just then, she notices the Going Merry, and realizes that it's a pirate ship. She escapes with the orbs after the Straw Hats notice her. Luffy decides to stretch in order to ask about Zoro, and Usopp is dragged along in an attempt to stop him. However, the two lose track of her without noticing, and she runs away, but not before being noticed by the other Straw Hats present. The crew follow her back to her village, with Luffy and Usopp getting lost on the way. Seeing the armed villagers, Nami presumes that the villagers are hiding something, which Robin confirms by looking at a few of the ruins. As Sanji gets in a fight with one of the villagers for insulting Robin, a band of Marine swordsmen assaults the village, led by Bismarck, Boo Kong, and much to the Straw Hats' surprise, Zoro. As Zoro chases after Maya and another villager; Izaya, in an attempt to steal a set of orbs in her possession, Sanji pursues the rogue swordsman and fights him. As Zoro cuts Sanji's arm, Sanji lies on the ground, Zoro steals the orbs, and leaves with the retreating Marines.

Back in the village, the Straw Hats are aiding the suffering villagers, with Chopper making medicine and Sanji cooking food, despite his arm being damaged by Zoro. Despite their aid, Izaya urges them to leave the island at once, saying that all lives are important, even pirates. The next morning, the group, minus Zoro, Usopp, and Luffy are being served breakfast by Maya, and Sanji's arm has fully recovered. Again, Izaya tells them to leave the island as quickly as possible, but they cannot leave without finding Luffy and Usopp first. When she urges them to leave once they have been found, the Straw Hats question their reasons for doing so. When Izaya deduces that they came to Asuka Island solely for the Shichiseiken, Maya tells them that the sword is not the kind of treasure they think it is. Robin then confirms this by telling the tale of the Priestess and the three princes, as well as the sword and the orbs, which she learned from the ruins she studied before as the island was once engulfed in a war and the sword, absorbing the blood and hatred of so many during the war, became cursed, causing massacre and destruction, destroying the Kingdom of Asuka.

As Robin was unable to decipher the remainder of the story, Izaya finshed the story explaining the truth behind the importance of the sword and the orbs. After Maya explains her past with Saga, the man in possession of the sword, and his connection with Zoro, the straw hats realize his plan to revive its power, which would have been stopped by the ritual. So, in order to stop the ritual, Saga, who cannot touch the orbs due to the sword's influence, he had Zoro steal the orbs away.

As the group try to figure out a way to stop Saga, Maya, being the priestess' distant descendant, states that the only way left is for her to sacrifice her own life, just like the first priestess. Despite everyone's protests, including Sanji, Maya has her mind made up, and everyone begrudgingly accepts her decision. After this, a massive spurt of water comes from the caves below, carrying Luffy and Usopp into broad daylight at long last. After the pair introduce themselves to Maya, Izaya, and Lacos, Nami asks them what they have been doing. After Usopp explains their trek in the caves, she shoves it off as adventuring, much to the frustration of Luffy and Usopp. As the sun sets, the others learn of Luffy's battle against Saga, while Luffy learns of Zoro's "betrayal", and Usopp confirms that Saga is indeed the wielder of the Shichiseiken.

After hearing that Maya is going to sacrifice herself in a ritual to stop the Shichiseiken, Luffy prepares to leave, in order to beat Saga, which Izaya says is futile, as Luffy cannot even scratch the blade. However, Luffy proclaims that they will not know if beating him will work unless they try. Despite this, Maya is more than willing to sacrifice herself, even though she is afraid of dying, saying that she decided to do so in order to save Saga. Deciding to cheer Maya up, Luffy reveals the orbs, much to everyone's (save Usopp's) surprise, especially Izaya. Now that they had the orbs, Maya could preform the ritual to stop the Shichiseiken without sacrificing her own life, but Maya asked Luffy where he found them. Learning where Luffy found them, she wonders why they were in the cave to begin with. However, even though the ritual can be performed, it is far too risky due to Saga's forces. Despite this, Luffy tells Maya that if she believes in Saga, then she should completely trust him, and that no one can decide her fate except for herself. With this, He and the other Straw Hats decide to aid Maya in her mission, as they will use the orbs despite all odds. After Luffy asks what needs to be done, Izaya says that the orbs need to be taken to the three towers, called Komon, Tonroh, and Hagun, and then, a barrier can be erected, which will stop the sword from reviving. When Usopp reveals that he and Luffy saw the towers during their cave-trip, surprising Izaya once again. Eventually, the Straw Hats split up into groups as all three orbs get to their individual towers and the barrier is raised by Maya.

As Sanji and Lacos go to Komon tower, they are met with Bismarck and all of his subordinates. After Sanji and Lacos defeated his subordinates, he was challenged and defeated by Sanji, who kicked him in the only part of him that wasn't covered in armor: his head. With Sanji and Lacos securing the tower, Luffy and Saga engage in a fight of their own, with the Shichiseiken merging with Saga and giving him a upper hand against Luffy. However, Zoro arrives to finish the fight against Saga himself, giving him another sword so they can duel. As Zoro clashes with Saga, he manages to strikes the finishing blow, destroying the Shichiseiken and thus freeing Saga from the curse. Lying injured on the ground, Saga regained his consciousness and smiled up at his victorious friend before passing out.

Zoro and Luffy both pass out, with Luffy passing out due to being hungry as their friends come for them while Maya holds Saga in her arms. With the ritual complete, the cursed sword destroyed, and everyone under it's influence freed, and his old friend saved, Zoro apologizes to the crew for his earlier actions, with Luffy happy that he's back with his friends. As the crew happily reunite, Saga wakes up and swears to everyone that he will master the sword of justice for everyone's sake, as it is the only atonement he can make. Zoro then gives Saga his old knife back, as Saga makes Zoro the same promise, he walks away with his crew ready to leave the island. As the Straw Hat Pirates leave the island, Saga sits on a cliff with Maya, Izaya, Lacos, and Toma to see their departure. As the crew ready themselves for their next adventure, the Going Merry sails out with a Hippo Rhino continuously hitting it in a strange sort of mating ritual, with the crew trying to sail away from the smitten creature.

Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island
On a calm day, the Straw Hats receive a message in a bottle advertising Omatsuri Island as a resort, promising spas and salons, good food, and many beautiful women, with Grand Line Pirates being especially welcome, the stronger the better. The crew are delighted at their luck, and Luffy decides that this is an opportunity they could not ignore. They set a course for the island.

When they reach the island, they see an uninhabited jungle but the crew follow strange sounds throughout the jungle, which leads them directly to the resort, and they are in awe by its dazzling rides and attractions. Soon, the owner of the island, Baron Omatsuri comes out on an elephant with a small talking flower sprouting from his shoulder to greet his guests. The crew notices the flower, and also notice that the dancers and performers, all have a small plants sprouting out of their heads as well. As the Baron welcomes the crew to his island and says they are welcome to enjoy all the delights he is offering, Luffy and the others are happy to hear this, but first he suggests that they prove their worth by taking part in a competition called the 'Trial of Hell, which he explains is similar to the Davy Back Fight.

Despite the crew being unsure whether or not to consider the trial, Luffy is filled with excitement by this challenge, saying that it might be fun, and that his friends are capable of handling any trial, officially excepting the proposal. As he accepts the proposal, the plaza they are in mechanically converts into an enormous round pool with a platform in the middle, as the first competition is goldfish catching, with the rules being that the winning team will be the one who catches the most goldfish in three minutes using only the net they are given, which is about three inches long and made of water-soluble tissue paper.

When Usopp volunteers to take on the challenge, he immediately changes his mind when he sees his opponent, Muchigoro and the massive goldfish that they have to catch, Rosario. As Nami, Sanji, Zoro and Luffy all try to catch the giant fish using their normal attacks, but only succeed in breaking the tiny net. Just as they decide that it's an impossible task, Muchigoro takes his turn. He reveals that he was hiding a net big enough to catch Rosario all along, much to the crew's fury. He calls Rosario into his net and flings him toward his prize bucket, with Robin intervening with her powers to bounce the fish back into the platform, where Chopper knocks him into own bucket using his Guard Point, just as the time limit ends.

Chopper gets dazed from his transformation and stumbles into the sea. Luffy leaps in after him, forgetting that he cannot swim either. Sanji rescues both of them, but fails to notice that there are dozens of sunken pirate ships lying under the water. The Baron is furious at the Straw Hats for beating him, as well as insulting him and Muchigoro. He demands that they compete in another challenge. Nami had been hoping for a chance to relax at this island, and refuses on behalf of the rest. Luffy, however, overrules as before, having enjoyed the first trial and is looking forward to more. Nami, furious, tries to lead the crew back to the ship, but the forest seems to move around them and they become lost. Luffy, following them, continues to try to convince them to go back to the Trials. When they finally manage to leave the forest, they find themselves before the Baron again as he announces that they have arrived at the second trial - a complex game of ring toss, taking place between two teams of four people, each in two gondola-like waver boats. To win, a team must throw rings over every member of the other team. Due to Luffy, Robin, and Chopper all being Devil Fruit eaters, the teams for the next trial ended up with Zoro and Sanji being partnered together, and Usopp and Nami teaming up as well, and their opponents, were the so-called; Four Wise Men, a group of four tiny, frog-like people.

With the trial starting at a canal, the participants have to throw rings at their opponents while speeding through what appears to be a city. As Zoro and Sanji complain about being partnered together, they avoid machine gun fire from Keroshot and Kerodeek's tooled-up boat. As the race continues Zoro and Sanji do not seem to make much progress together as they continually bicker, but both of them finally catch up to Keroshot and Kerodeek's ship. Before Zoro makes his move with the ring, though, the two wise men use their boat's mechanically operated arms to try and catch him with a ring. Zoro finally slices them up and orders Sanji to pull in closer. Before Zoro makes a second attempt, Keroshot pulls out another piece of artillery and starts to shoot at him. He dodges again and again and blames Sanji for his reckless driving. For that, Sanji goes a bit faster and eventually makes Zoro an easy target for Keroshot again. Zoro eventually leaps out of the boat into the sides and runs to keep up with the boat. He finally leaps high into the air, and after seconds in flight, falls back into his own boat. Both Zoro and Sanji continue to fight, while Keroshot and Kerodeek smile at their success in getting them riled up. Zoro becomes determined to get them this time, but fails as their opponent's boat backs off. Trying to maintain his balance, he then realizes that they are out of sight when the path splits up between them. He cannot help but attack Sanji another time. As they both argue, the paths merge. Without them noticing, Keroshot's boat appears ahead of them, ready to ensnare them with a ring.



As Zoro and Sanji are ready to duke it out on the boat, Keroshot and Kerodeek tries to get their attention. They shoot at them, but every single shot misses. Then they provoke Zoro so much he slices up their boat. Kerodeek, within mere seconds patches up the boat, and presents a larger, more intimidating version of their shark-like boat. They pull up near Sanji and continue to make some noise. Sanji finishes them off with his kicks, and Kerodeek is forced to patch up once more. A massive version of their boat pulls from behind. Its power is so great the boat even begins to float. Its golden drill is able to plow through the bridges extending across the water. Zoro and Sanji had enough of their interruptions, so they break the massive boat apart together, sending Keroshot and Kerodeek into the air. Finally they were at peace and they could properly fight. Nami catches their attention and orders them to throw the rings since she's tied up herself, being hung up at the strings which held the city's lanterns. Sanji stops the boat and throws the two rings to ensnare the two wise men.

As the duo try to help Nami, Kerojii appears and gets in their way, with all of them just barely missing each other with their attacks. Annoyed by this, Zoro and Sanji try to stop the frog with Nami's help, only for Kerojii to dodge and for Zoro's katana to cut Nami's string instead, sending her to the water below. They try a second time, but end up hitting each other and landing in their boat. As they fight, Kerojii falls from above with a ring in each hand. Zoro pushes Sanji to save himself, causing Sanji to be ensnared by the strange self-wrapping ring. This gave Zoro the chance to take Kerojii out himself and thought that he'd insult Sanji before doing so. Even without the use of his arms, Sanji attempts to attack Zoro on the boat. As Usopp shows up and ends the trial by catching Kerojii, with the score being 4 to 3. As Nami angrily yells at Usopp for abandoning her, Sanji gets into it with Zoro for what he did. As the victory fireworks appear in the sky, it seems as if the crew is starting to crumble apart.

Despite their victory, everyone was on edge and angry at one another back at the hotel, confusing Robin and Luffy. As Robin questions Usopp if he saw anything that resembled a flower while he was gliding in the air, Zoro interrupts him and asks the crew where Chopper is. Usopp answers, but the question gets asked again by Sanji. Usopp answers again, but Nami asks the question again a third time, then snaps at Usopp and said that she wasn't asking him. Usopp is stunned at the length of Nami's anger towards him for his spiteful words earlier, but they are interrupted by the introductory drumming of the Baron as he presents them with a dinner party for a gift. The water pool near them changes and one of Baron's men Kotetsu emerges from below, equipped with two giant grilling spatulas strapped on his back. The flooring underneath him becomes a giant iron grill as the grill itself is surrounded by walls of flames.

Kotetsu skates around the grill, bricks of grease strapped to his feet. The Straw Hats might have been impressed, but Sanji is not, obviously finding the wasteful and frivolous manner of cooking offensive to his idealistic chef ways. Food is tossed on and Kotetsu skates around, sliding the food around in an overtly flashy and pointless, albeit entertaining, manner. Luffy slobbers and thinks that all of it looks so good to eat. His sentence echoes in Sanji's head, enough to anger him. He takes off his jacket and leaps in and challenges Kotetsu to a cooking competition. As they square off, Robin leaves the area as Sanji and Kotetsu go to extreme measures, bringing out more giant amounts of food to grill. Luffy cheers for Sanji as Zoro takes a nap, and Nami cheers Sanji on, but soon finds Usopp beside her cheering as well, causing Nami to angrily walk away from him and continues to cheer. As Usopp tries to be friendly with Nami, she leaves the competition and sits with Muchigoro, causing a upset Usopp to leave the area as well.



Kotetsu applies the oyster sauce and ao nori, and tries to finish off Omatsuri Island's best yakisoba with red ginger. Before the ginger lands though the noodles are quickly taken by Sanji using two giant chopsticks. Sanji wraps the noodles around them and throws them into the air. Using his giant spatula he flips his massive pancake creation into the air as well. The noodles land on the grill, following his pancake. He applies his own sauce, plus mayonnaise, and to finish it off, bonito flakes to top, finishing his modan yaki.

Sanji hoped that Robin witnessed his dish of love, but finds that only an excited Luffy watched him. He figures that Nami saw it then, but finds that she's talking with Muchigoro. He gives up and leaves, while Luffy happily dives in and eats. When Luffy wakes Zoro up to eat, Sanji does not give him permission to eat, stating his usually his wanting nobody to go hungry belief was overridden by his rivalry and anger with Zoro, coupled with the fact that he slept through his performance. Sanji spends no more time with Zoro and runs through the tables searching for Robin but she's no where to be found. With Sanji not being able to find Robin, Zoro tells him that she was off to investigate a flower on the island. The four Straw Hats then gather and realize that Usopp was gone too, and that they didn't know where Chopper was. Sanji begins to put all the blame on Zoro for not watching them properly, but Zoro counters back telling him that they weren't children. It was outrageous to Sanji that none of them noticed the disappearance of three of their crewmates, leading him to angrily ask Luffy for his response since it was his idea to come to this island, leaving Luffy surprised and feeling guilty.

With the Baron calling forth the final Trial of Hell and DJ Gappa showing up wearing Usopp's hat, Zoro and Sanji immediately demanded to know where their three missing crewmates are. As the Baron demands that they accept another Trial of Hell, Sanji backs away and decides to look for the three himself, and Zoro decides to do the same and runs off to the opposite direction, as the final trial is revealed to be the trial of shooting, where the island residents ruthlessly hunt down the opposing pirate crew. With the trial officially started, everyone began hunting the remaining Straw Hats down, with DJ Gappa skating on his turtle shell backpack with Baron's men behind him. Others have begun shooting at an old building where Sanji was hiding inside. He hears a strange noise coming from outside. DJ Gappa was rubbing his disc on his head, making the noise. He takes one of his discs off, revealing more underneath, and flings it towards Sanji's direction. It exploded upon impact with the ground. Sanji began to flee as Nami became surrounded by DJ's discs, but he is eventually also surrounded by DJ's discs as the discs surrounding them exploded, knocking them unconscious. Sanji is later taken prisoner by the Lily Carnation, and is eventually absorbed into the monstrous plant in front of Luffy, becoming apart of it.



With Luffy and the other pirates trapped on the island banding together to stop Baron Omatsuri, the Lily Carnation takes it true form, with the entirety of the Straw Hats now assimilated into it and the Baron. Despite an uphill battle now ensuing, one of the pirates manages to fire an arrow into the Lily, critically injuring it in the process, causing all the inhabitants on the island to become lifeless again, and a shocked Baron to lose his connection with the Lily. With a now enraged Baron trying to finish everyone off, before he takes a step further, Luffy steps into the puddle of the Lily's innards and strikes him with a death-rendering punch, sending the Baron into oblivion, and ending the struggle.

With the Lily Carnation's destruction, everyone that was absorbed earlier returned, completely confused about what had happened to them in the first place. As the five of them emerge safe and sound, Luffy smiles in relief and closes his eyes. The Straw Hats spot him and quickly go to see him. With Nami calling out to him wondering what happened and how he could lay there and sleep in a place like this, Luffy couldn’t help but laugh, as the struggle on Omatsuri Island was finally over.

One Piece Film: Strong World
On board the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats read the news of attacks on East Blue. Luffy said they would return to East Blue to protect it when Shiki's ship appeared overhead. After warning Shiki of the storm ahead, he came down to meet the Straw Hats. There he revealed that he had a Devil Fruit power to make any inanimate object and he touches ignore gravity and float. After learning it was Nami that delivered the warning and that they are headed to East Blue, Shiki offered to take them there and used his power on Sunny. Together the two ships traveled to Merveille where Shiki suddenly kidnapped Nami. Sanji, along with the others, tried to rescue her, but by controlling the Thousand Sunny using his power, Shiki escaped, as well as scattering them among the fragments of the island.



Sanji and Usopp found themselves on an island surrounded by a cherry tree forest. Sanji wailed for Nami and Robin, with Usopp urging him to keep quit. Due to Sanji's loud outbursts, the attention of many of the giant monster animals dwelling nearby was attracted. The two escaped by jumping on some nearby hanging vines that turned out to be the whiskers of a giant Toramata Tiger. Usopp was about be attacked by it but Sanji jumped in and delivers a powerful kick to its head and knocked the animal out. This, however, attracted the attention of a herd of Cowballs. The battle with them caused the ground to break and the two fell below into a lake connected to another floating island.

Sanji and Usopp went across a village where everyone appeared to have small wings on their arms, and they learned that Shiki took all the men and young women to his royal palace, leaving the village with only the very young and old with strict monitoring around the clock. They soon met up with Zoro and Chopper. When the rest of the crew showed at the village, Robin informed them of Shiki's plan. They learned that Shiki was planning to let loose the animals on the island into East Blue in a gambit to force the surrender of the World Government. They also learned that to prove the power of the animals he was planning a demonstration using a village on the floating island.



Shiki arrived sometime later and confronted the present Straw Hats. Sanji attacked with Poitrine Shoot, but Shiki caught his foot in mid-kick. Despite some initial success in the others fending him off, Sanji and the Straw Hats were defeated, and Nami was coerced into rejoining Shiki when he agreed not to harm her friends or home town. Usopp, the only remaining crew member conscious, tried to stop her, but Shiki knocked him out.

Xiao reappeared and gave them the Dial that Nami left them. Her mother, who earlier had expressed relief about the animals being sent to East Blue, apologized for saying how happy she was for Shiki leaving for East Blue. They played the message, and after hearing only the first bit of it, Luffy became angered to the point that he would not listen to the rest with the other Straw Hats.



Back at Shiki's place, Nami was found to have, in fact, been attempting to blow up the plants protecting Shiki's palace, but she was overcome by the poison. Shiki trapped her near the plants and headed off to meet the pirate captain's gathering. The Straw Hats arrived at his palace and busted down the gates, making short work of the guards outside. While preparing a toast to the commencement of the operation, the Straw Hats marched into the main meeting room with various firearms and a new wardrobe.

After a short confrontation, Shiki called them a simple suicide squad, and revealed hundreds of men around them. They unloaded their firearms in the room, defeating most those gathered, much to Shiki's dismay. Then they split up to defeat the rest. Luffy chased after Shiki, with Sanji and the others helping fight off his minions and hordes of animals that began running wild in his fortress.



Sanji met up with Brook outside and helped fight off the stampeding animals in their way. Sanji then found Robin had been attacked and held captive by Shiki's man ape, Scarlet. Sanji chased down the ape, completely enraged. Before it could land a kiss on her, Sanji attacked it with Diable Jambe Venaison Shot. Scarlet was knocked through the tower it stood on and was ultimately defeated. Robin fell but Brook swooped in to catch her romantically. Robin thanked Brook, much to Sanji's irritation for doing all the work. After Shiki was defeated by Luffy, Sanji, along with the other Straw Hats, escaped using Thousand Sunny and Shiki's pirate sail as a parachute. Sanji was seen much later on the ship as Nami recovers.

Adventure of Nebulandia
The Straw Hats were lured onto Kinoko Island by the Foxy Pirates, who posed as a marooned crew. Luffy agreed to a Davy Back Fight rematch, and Sanji, Luffy, and Zoro took part in the first round, where they had to eat as many mushrooms as possible. However, the mushrooms caused the three of them to become lethargic, and they were captured along with Porche and Hamburg as the Foxy Pirate Komei revealed that this was part of his plan to take down the Straw Hats. Komei then captured Sanji, Zoro, Porche, and Hamburg and took them to Nebulandia, where he imprisoned them.

Sanji and Zoro were later taken outside and chained to a rock formation along with the other captured Straw Hats in order to lure Luffy to Komei. However, Chopper and Brook came with an antidote and reinforcements, and Sanji and Zoro were freed and restored to their old selves. They then helped beat back the Marines, and the Straw Hats and Foxy Pirates returned to Kinoko Island afterwards, where they parted ways. The Straw Hat then held a banquet to celebrate their victory.

Heart of Gold
The Straw Hats were sailing when they suddenly encountered Myskina Olga and her steed Elizabeth and brought them onboard. Olga attempted to make the Straw Hats give her food through force, but Sanji emerged from the kitchen and gave her food out of simple goodwill. The Straw Hats talked to Olga and found out she was from the lost island of Alchemi, and could lead them to an extremely valuable treasure known as Pure Gold. They managed to convince Olga to take them there, and they set sail for Pure Gold.

However, they came under attack by the Treasure Pirates, who were after Olga and were also in search of Pure Gold. The Treasure Pirates had camouflaged their fleet and snuck up on the Straw Hats, but Sanji, Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp sensed them with Kenbunshoku Haki, and Sanji recognized that the camouflaging was the work of a Devil Fruit. The Treasure Pirates, led by Mad Treasure, attacked the Straw Hats, but the Straw Hats managed to easily repel them. However, during the battle, Olga's ring fell into the ocean. The ring contained a sliver of gold, causing a giant fish named Bonbori to arrive and consume it. The Thousand Sunny was drawn into its mouth, but as the Straw Hats tried sailing away from it, Olga told them to go inside it. They entered Bonbori's mouth, but were followed by the Treasure Pirates, who attacked them with cannon fire. This caused the Sunny to head for Bonbori's uvula, and though Luffy managed to redirect the ship, he was shot by Naomi Drunk and sent flying far away. Olga then rode Elizabeth toward Luffy as the Sunny fell into Bonbori's throat.

After falling through the throat, the Treasure Pirates managed to capture Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, and Brook, and Sanji, Zoro, and Franky ended up with the Thousand Sunny in Bonbori's second stomach, where they grounded it on an island. As they worked to repair the Sunny, they later reunited with Luffy, who was traveling with Olga's father Myskina Acier. Upon finding out that their crewmates and Olga were captured by Mad Treasure, Sanji used Sky Walk to race toward Alchemi while Luffy, Acier, and Zoro raced after him on Luffy's water lizard Chavez. They reached Alchemi, but the coastline leading to the temple containing their kidnapped comrades was heavily guarded by the Treasure Pirates. However, Sanji and Zoro took on the enemy pirates, allowing Luffy and Acier to enter the temple.

Sanji confronted Psycho P, whose Iro Iro no Mi powers allowed him to camouflage himself. However, Sanji managed to locate and attack Psycho P despite the latter's invisibility and much to his shock. Sanji then revealed that he had desired Psycho P's Devil Fruit ostensibly because it helped him fulfill his dreams, but really because he wanted to spy on women's baths. Psycho P scoffed at the notion of dreams, causing Sanji to ignite himself and attack him with several fiery kicks in an attack called "Remember My Dream". Sanji then finished off Psycho P by kicking him into the temple wall.

After defeating the Treasure Pirates, Sanji and Zoro rode on Chavez to another part of Alchemi, where Luffy had just defeated Mad Treasure. Bonbori started having dry heaves, and when Franky arrived with the Sunny, the Straw Hats, Olga, and Acier rode up Bonbori's throat as it vomited them out. They then watched as the Pure Gold was assimilated into Bonbori's lamp, and the next morning, they dropped Olga and Acier off on an island. Nami then revealed that she had stolen a Vivre Card leading to an entertainment city known as Gran Tesoro, and the Straw Hats headed there.

On the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats were having a barbecue. While cooking, Sanji watched the volleyball game between Nami and Chopper versus Robin and Franky. After the volleyball game, the Straw Hats discussed what they will do once they reached Gran Tesoro. After hearing Nami will bet in the casino, Usopp became concerned so he demonstrated a showed to perform at the city. After Usopp and Luffy played around in sumo matches, Franky challenged Luffy. Sanji spectated and cheered while they were wrestling. Sometime later, Luffy and Franky decided to use their signature attacks, but Nami interrupted and punched them because they could have destroyed the ship. Moments later, the Straw Hats approached the City of Dreams.

The Straw Hats entered Gran Tesoro, and were showered with gold in the entrance. They emerged into a pool of liquid gold that had a concert venue around it, but were immediately attacked by the Long Long Pirates, who intended to rob them and pay off their debts. Sanji was attacked by Balong of the Long Long Pirates, but he shattered his weapons before defeating him. The Straw Hats defeated the Long Long Pirates, and watched as the proprietor of Gran Tesoro, Gild Tesoro, encased the remaining enemy pirates in gold.

The Straw Hats landed and were approached by Baccarat, who offered to give them a VIP stay in Gran Tesoro due to their fame. She drove them through Gran Tesoro in a turtle car and took them to the VIP hotel at the heart of the ship, where the Straw Hats donned new outfits as they began their dream vacation. They went to a casino, where Baccarat gave them 20,000,000 worth in tokens. The Straw Hats had a lot of luck with the games, earning lots of tokens, and Baccarat took them to the VIP lounge where they had the chance to become millionaires. The Straw Hats played a dice game there and won, and were approached by Gild Tesoro, who challenged them. They lost, but it was revealed that Baccarat had taken Luffy's luck away with her Devil Fruit power, so they refused to hand over their money. This caused Tesoro and his subordinates to retaliate with force, and as Sanji prepared to fight, Baccarat cried out that she had injured her leg. This caused Sanji to race to her, but it was only a ruse that allowed Baccarat to touch him and take away his luck, which caused his cigarette to fall and catch his jacket on fire. Tesoro managed to capture Zoro and gave the Straw Hats until 12:00 the next night to repay their debt, or else he would kill Zoro.

The Straw Hats went outside, where they encountered an acquaintance of Nami's named Carina. They went to a diner with Carina, who revealed to them that a massive portion of Tesoro's wealth was contained in the Hyper Suite Room near the top of the hotel, which they could steal to repay their debt. The Straw Hats agreed to this plan, and afterwards, Carina revealed to everyone except Luffy her true plan, which was to direct seawater out of every fountain on Gran Tesoro and free everyone from Tesoro's control over them. The Straw Hats then slept in a hotel, and tried on disguises later in the day to prepare for their mission.

They congregated outside the hotel, and Carina outlined the details of the plan. While Team A, Luffy and Franky, would infiltrate the hotel and disable several Eizo Den Den Mushi that served as security cameras, the rest of them, Team B, would sneak inside and make their way to the door to the Hyper Suite Room. The teams then split, and Team B snuck into the hotel. Carina distracted a group of workers transporting a giant dice container, allowing the Straw Hats to hide inside it, and they were wheeled into a storage room where they met back up with Carina. After getting past a few security guards, Team B entered a hallway that led to the staircase to the Hyper Suite Room, but the hall was guarded by owls with spotlights beaming from their eyes. With Chopper's help, Team B managed to pass through the hall, and they communicated with Team A so the latter could disconnect the Eizo Den Den Mushi watching over the staircase. However, Luffy was discovered and the alarm was raised, causing Team B to be discovered by security guards and chased back down the hall they came from.

Team B took refuge in a hidden hallway, but were approached by the World Noble Saint Camael and his entourage. However, the team ambushed the World Nobles, stole their clothing, and emerged disguised as the World Nobles. Tricking the security guards into thinking they were World Nobles, Team B intimidated them into allowing them back through the hallway, and they raced up the staircase to the Hyper Suite Room. However, they opened the door to find themselves in the middle of an entertainment venue, as part of a trap designed by Gild Tesoro and Carina. Sanji attacked Tesoro, but Tesoro overwhelmed him with gold tendrils before capturing him and his crewmates. Tesoro prepared to begin the entertainment spectacle by executing Zoro as the Straw Hats' bodies slowly became encased in gold, when suddenly seawater sprayed from every fountain, as Carina had intended for Luffy and Franky to do. The Straw Hats were freed from their gold encasement and reunited with Luffy, Zoro, and Franky, but Tesoro suddenly blew up the hotel, sending a massive deluge of liquid gold on them. However, Sanji, Robin, and Franky carried their crewmates into the air to safety.

Tesoro reemerged inside a giant gold golem and confronted the Straw Hats, and as Luffy battled him, the other Straw Hats and Carina were confronted by Baccarat, Tanaka, and Dice, who were given golden armor and weapons by Tesoro. Tanaka jumped into the ground and popped in and out around Sanji and Robin, shooting at them from random areas with his gun. Sanji and Robin were unable to keep up with Tanaka's movements, and Sanji tried kicking him, but he phased into the wall and emerged behind Sanji, pointing his gun at him. However, Robin grabbed Tanaka with her Devil Fruit powers, and Tanaka was trapped due to not being able to phase through organic objects. Sanji then raced toward Tanaka and barraged his face with Diable Jambe kicks, defeating him.

Luffy eventually managed to overpower Tesoro, and Tesoro turned his golem into liquid gold, swamping everyone on Gran Tesoro except Luffy with it and preventing them from moving. However, Luffy managed to defeat Tesoro, freeing everyone on Gran Tesoro from his control, and they rejoiced. Suddenly, a timer appeared, and Carina stated that the ship would sink once it reached zero. The Straw Hats returned to the Thousand Sunny, but found out that the timer was a ruse in order to allow Carina to take control of Gran Tesoro. However, they held no hard feelings, and were forced to sail away once the Marine fleet nearby started chasing them.
