Usopp/History/Non-Canon

One Piece: The Movie
On the Going Merry, while the crew are starving to death due to Luffy eating all the provisions, a group of thieves came to steal their treasure supplies. As Luffy wrecked their getaway boat, which had a kid who was the hostage of the thieves, a pirate ship led by a ferocious man named Eldoraggo, appeared. The thieves worked for his pirate crew, so, Eldoraggo, using his Devil Fruit ability, while aiming at Luffy, destroyed the thieves' getaway boat. Luffy and the kid fell in the sea, and Zoro jumped in to save them. As a result, Luffy and Zoro were separated from Nami and Usopp. While Nami disappeared, Usopp was immediately found and captured by Eldoraggo and his crew along with the Merry, as they reach the Isle of Gold, unaware that Nami has managed to stow away on their ship.

Under the threat of death from Eldoraggo's mercenary, Golass, Usopp rashly offers to decipher the legendary pirate Woonan's map. As they reach the shore, Usopp is forced to help guide Eldoraggo and his crew to look for Woonan's gold, and as the group finds a valley holding a massive castle, Nami shows up and helps Usopp stall by claiming that the gold is buried several days deep. This backfires, however, as Eldoraggo simply begins using his powers to level the area. Luffy was able to find Eldoraggo and his crew with all the commotion, and while chained with Zoro, tries to fight Eldoraggo. As they fight, Luffy makes a mistake that sends him, Zoro and Tobio flying into a distant hill. While Eldoraggo and his crew look on in confusion, Nami and Usopp quietly slip away as well.

As the four Straw Hats regroup on the hill, Nami picks the lock on Luffy and Zoro's chains, and reveals that she has stolen Woonan's map as well. As the group tries to decipher the map and Nami accidentally burns it, Usopp remembers a pivotal (and initially misinterpreted) clue from the map that leads them to the island's most prominent feature: a long, steep plateau. They all went to find it, and while climbing a mountain, they found Tobio's grandfather Ganzo, who turned out to be a childhood friend of Woonan's, and realized where the treasure was. Luffy and company eventually found a house at the top of the mountain, but shortly afterwards they were attacked by Eldoraggo and his pirate crew (who had worked out the same reasoning as Usopp). Usopp and the others watch as Luffy eventually defeat Eldoraggo.

With Eldoraggo's crew defeated, the group went inside the house, hoping to find Woonan and the treasure in a hidden chamber inside. It turned out it was the resting place of Woonan himself and that he returned all the gold he stole to its rightful owners. Luffy and the Straw Hats bid farewell to Tobio and Gonzo and sailed away to their next adventure.

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.

Luffy is disappointed that it wasn't something to eat, but Nami is more interested in finding out what's inside the chest. She opens it only to find a skull inside. Usopp reads the back of the skull, which has an engraving about a treasure that can make anyone's dream come true. It lies deep in the Ocean's Navel. Then a large hole begins to form near the crater they crashed into, so Usopp, Nami, and Sanji prepare themselves in a diving barrel to explore the cavity in the sea. Luffy is put 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. As the barrel falls faster, Usopp panics and tells Luffy that they are in danger, as Luffy manages to get the rope in time, 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, Usopp and Nami 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, Usopp and Nami decide to go ahead to find the treasure.



Eventually the two reach the reach the top of the mountain where the treasure is said to be. As the reach the top, they are attacked again by another monster, until Luffy along with a boy named Hamu show up. Luffy fights the monster while Usopp and Nami leave to go to the cave, and after so motivation from Luffy, a scared Hamu leaves as well. After Luffy takes the monster down, the four of them enter the cave together, where the find a room where Joke's body is. As Joke begins to come back from the dead, Luffy is too tired to fight, so Usopp, Nami and Hamu decide to fight him off instead. Unfortunately, they are easily defeated by Joke. Despite this, Hamu continued to fight back as Jock mocked him, giving the straw hats the opportunity to hold down Joke's arms and legs, allowing Hamu to finish Joke off.

Later as the Straw Hats leave the island, Hamu realizes that he hadn't asked them their names, and simply looks at the Straw Hats' ship and smiles, as the Straw Hats sail off toward their next adventure.

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, and eventually they reach the top of the staircase, although everyone is extremely exhausted.

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 again, this time being separated from Sanji, who falls into a hill filled with landmines and is quickly captured after. Upset by what had just happened, Akisu and Usopp begin accusing each other of cowardice, but Luffy interrupts their argument and taunts Akisu into acting braver, as he storms the gates.

As the group is met with hundred's of the Trump Pirates' foot-soldiers, Luffy and Zoro quickly make short work of them, with Usopp and the Thief Brothers right behind them. The group is soon attacked by another member of the Trump Pirates, Skunk One, who begins spraying a noxious "devil-gas" that begins to paralyze them. As the only one not immediately effected, Usopp decides to hurl himself towards him so the others can continue moving forward inside the castle, leaving him at the mercy of Skunk One, being captured in the process, and crucified alongside a captured and beaten Sanji. Later on, Zoro is also captured and crucified, and the Bear King threatens to test the King Cannon on the three captured straw hats to Nami. As he prepares the cannon, Borodo shows up and tries to fight him. 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 Usopp running towards the Going Merry, with Skunk One in pursuit. As they race to the castle harbor, Usopp boards the Going Merry, recovering Sanji's shoes, Zoro's swords, and his own slingshot, and throws the former items down to Zoro and Sanji so they can fight at full strength. Usopp attacked him with his Hissatsu Tamago Boshi, sending a rotten egg straight into Skunk One's face. This caused Skunk One to fall to the floor while complaining about how he couldn't stand smelly things. Now angry, Skunk One corners Usopp, positioning his gas launcher right above Usopp, who is seemingly terrified. However, a smiling Usopp reveals that he was waiting for this moment, as he had only been pretending to lure him closer. Usopp then fires a Kaen Boshi right into the gas launcher's mouth, causing the tank to burst and Skunk One to explode into flames, as he falls head first right to the ground.

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. Zoro 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, Usopp and the rest of the crew are awoken to both Luffy and the girl in 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, freaking Usopp out. 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, with a terrified Usopp happy to be back in normal waters. 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 after following her at night. They tells the others the truth about why the Marines are after Apis, 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 Usopp spots a way in, they go into the mirage, and 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. With everyone 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, Usopp and the others flee with Apis and Ryu, while Zoro holds him off. When they make it back to the ship, Luffy stretches 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 the island and make it the Lost Islands' coordinates, Nelson's fleet manage to blockade them, with Eric and lieutenant Hardy's ship closing in. When the ship becomes blockaded with giant chains, the crew starts to board the Marines ships to kick the Marines out. While the crew tried to get rid of the chains, 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 this happens, Ryu lets out one final roar, leading to the Lost Island rising from the ocean, and multiple dragons flying from it. As the crew gets out of the chains and the blockade, they make it to the island with Apis, he listens to Nami explain the meaning of the island's name, as well as 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. As promised, 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.

Recovering on a log, the crew then see dozens of dehorned animals on 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.

Then, a large blast is heard from the distance so the straw hats and the animals go to see what is going on. They see Battler and his men down below, and 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. Meanwhile, Usopp takes out his Usopp Boomerang and hurls it at Battler, but Battler leans back to avoid it. Chopper then charges at the Horn Eaters, then turns to run, leading them away from the strange animals at the cliff above. He runs off into the woods, the Horn Eaters giving chase.

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. Usopp consoles Mobambi by telling him that it does not matter if one is strong or not. Luffy, Usopp, and Nami then run off to go after Chopper, with them eventually reaching a path, running across fragile stone columns which collapse under their feet as they try to catch up to Chopper. As Zoro and Sanji begin there battles against Heaby and Hotdog, Chopper tries to get away from Battler, with Luffy, Usopp and Nami arriving in time to help.

Battler begins to play his violin, hypnotizing Luffy, but Nami and Usopp yell in his ears to snap him out of it. The Horn Eaters are still hypnotized, though, and they charge at Nami, Usopp, and Luffy, sending Luffy flying. Usopp and Chopper continue to run from the Horn Eaters, and Nami calls to them from ahead. Usopp sees that Chopper is becoming tired, so he kicks Chopper to safety, then takes out his Usopp Boomerang, holding it like horns in front of his head, and uses it to taunt the Horn Eaters. He runs and then casts the boomerang away, making the Horn Eaters chase after it. Nami tells Usopp to fire some gunpowder at the pile of boulders on top of the nearby cliff, so Usopp does so and the Horn Eaters are contained, surrounded by boulders on all sides. While they are doing this, Luffy saves Mobambi and Karasuke from Battler, who has now gotten the power of Kirin Lion's Horns, and Luffy proceeds to fight the now monsterous Battler.

After Luffy defeats Battler everyone celebrates, and Mobambi thanks Luffy, but says that he will probably have to leave the island for taking the Kirin Lion's horns. Mobambi apologizes to the animals for what he did, but they place the Animal King crown upon his head, declaring him as a hero. Mobambi asks Chopper to stay with them on the island, but Chopper replies that he is a pirate. Suddenly, there are more underwater eruptions, and a great bell begins to ring as the wind blows. The smoke around the island suddenly takes the shape of a golden crown, and the animals are shocked to see that the heavens have acknowledged Mobambi as the new Animal King. Chopper says that he and Mobambi can still be friends despite going different ways, and so they both begin to cry, as it is time for them to say goodbye, and then later that night, everyone has a party. The next day, the Straw Hats talk about the great party they had after the defeat of Battler, and as they leave the island, 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. 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 Kingdom 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 devil fruit powers 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 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. Usopp and Chopper end up fighting together against Mr.4, his dog Lassoo and his partner Miss Merry Christmas. Usopp and Chopper have difficulty dealing with Mr. 4 and his exploding baseballs, and the Officer Agents tell them that Luffy has been killed by Crocodile. Despite being heavily wounded after being struck by Mr. 4's four-ton bat, Usopp manages to trick Mr. 4 into hitting Miss Merry Christmas with his bat, then hits him with a hammer fired from a slingshot attached to Chopper's antlers. The two are knocked away from the fight by an exploding baseball detonating nearby, ending the battle.

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. 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. 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 Luffy's help, 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, forming the Zenny Pirates with his goats, despite his age and they part ways. 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.

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.

Henzo explains that the flow of time is different inside the mist, and that those children were once his friends. He tells them that Ruluka was attacked in the past by the Wetton Pirates and that the children stole the pirates ship but were chased by Wetton and his crewmate Ian. As the children fight off Wetton and Ian, Wetton and Henzo fall overboard and the children sail directly into the Rainbow Mist never again returning. Understanding now how the Rainbow Mist kept the children from aging, the crew attempts to find a way out.

The group decides to follow the children back to their secret hideout, hoping they would know a way out of Ape's Concert. When Robin found one of the kids by the name of Pukau, the group managed to talk him into leading them to the hideout, where the children were waiting. After the boy tells the others that he is not a hostage, Usopp went out holding plates of food to give to the children, the food attracting both Luffy and Pukau until all of them except Rapanui started eating. Eventually the two groups decide to leave the Mist together, but are unable to find their way out. Finally, Flip communicates with Henzo on a Den Den Mushi and the group realizes they are still connected with the outside world. Knowing this, they try to reach the end of the mist, alongside the Pumpkin Pirates. As they do that, Sanji, Nami, and Chopper are trying to get to the harbor to find the others, as they are hindered by Lake, Wetton's grandson. He tells them that the mayor has announced all the shipwrecks there have untouched cargo just laying around with jewels and coins, and that the Rainbow Tower will be used as a bridge between the island and the Shipwrecks in the mist, just as Luffy propels himself and Rapanui outside of the mist.

After the Rainbow Tower is connected, Nami manages to get into the mist and reach the Merry. After asking where Luffy was, Zoro and Usopp told her that he was gone, and then continue trying to make it out of the mist, despite Wetton and his invading forces. As Luffy and Rapanui return, Luffy fights Wetton off, but Wetton manages to escape and blows the Tower away. Despite this, Luffy and the others manage to escape the mist onboard the Going Merry, when the Pumpkin Pirates stay behind and help the Merry escape with an explosive.

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, 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. Leaving without the 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. While in a restaurant, Nami tells the others about about the legend of the Shichiseiken, said to be the most beautiful sword in all of the Grand Line, and rumored to be on Asuka Island. Remembering something she read once, Robin tells of the legend of the red moon, a terrible disaster occurring once every one hundred years on the island. To protect the island, the king was given three magical gems to use as a shield, and the Seven-Star Sword, an unbreakable sword, to use as a weapon. While they learned more about the legend of the island, Zoro is fast asleep on the Merry, 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. As the rest of the crew return, they are shocked to notice that Zoro is gone as well.

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. After losing sight of Maya and the other straw hats, Luffy and Usopp eventually reach the Marine Dojo.

Inside, after noticing the many swordsmen practicing (which resulted in Luffy asking them for Zoro, without any response), then a marine named Toma shows up behind Usopp, frightening him. After asking Toma for Zoro, Luffy learns that Zoro should return any minute, before deciding to wait at the dojo until he shows up. At that moment, The leader of the Dojo, Saga reveals himself to the pair, but Luffy is more interested in the long sword he carries on his back. Toma asks for permission to test Luffy in order to find out if he really defeated Crocodile of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Getting permission, Toma nearly cuts Luffy by unsheathing his sword at a high speed. Then, Saga reveals that Zoro will no longer be part of the Straw Hats, before Luffy starts attacking him for his statement. At that moment, Saga draws his long blade, which happens to be the Shichiseiken. Saying that the sword wants Luffy's blood, Saga attacks Luffy, before the battle is taken outside. As the battle rages on, it starts going in Saga's favor, and when he uses his special attack, Youkazan (a green flame erupting from his sword), Luffy is sent flying off a cliff. In fear of being killed by Saga, Usopp jumps after Luffy, and after a failed parachute attempt, he crashes into the valley below.

Usopp has successfully been caught in a tree due to his parachute, and starts looking for Luffy after finding his straw hat. However, he falls into a cave shortly afterwards. Once in the cave, he eventually finds Luffy and hands him back his straw hat. Unfortunately for the duo, Luffy activated a trap that sends a giant boulder after them, which Luffy destroys at Usopp's urging. However, he activates another trap that causes a cave-in, nearly killing them. Later inside the tunnels, Usopp and Luffy activate many traps before finding three peculiar towers, and as they were starving, the duo fall asleep.

The next day in the caves, Luffy and Usopp have just survived an arrow trap, before Luffy gleefully decides to go into another cave. However, Usopp protests, and leads them into a different cave, which ironically leads to another trap, this consisting of balls made out of rock. After getting through it, the pair come across a stream of water, where Luffy finds three orbs, before accidentally activating yet another trap, this one being a massive water stream that flushes Usopp and Luffy through the caves. Thanks to the massive spurt of water, Luffy and Usopp finally come out into broad daylight at long last, conveniently in front of the other Straw Hats, along with Maya and other villagers. 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 others tell the duo what's been going on in the village, 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 hear 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 this, everyone decides to split up into groups of two to the three towers. Usopp and Robin decide to go to the Hagun tower, where they are met by Boo Kong and his men. Boo Kong challenged them to a fight, surprising a scared Usopp. However, he and his subordinates were quickly defeated by Robin's Veinte Fleur. She then tickled him and pulled his clubs down to hit him on the head, subduing him. She then pulled him to the ground, causing large pieces of rubble from Hagun to fall down on top of him and knock him out. As Robin and Usopp secure 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. After seeing the massive goldfish, Usopp immediately gets scared and changes his mind, leaving it to the others. 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.

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 the trial begins, the Kerojii and Keroko duo are ahead of Nami and Usopp, preparing an assault. Revealing an outdoor roast, Keroko cooks a pair of fish above a barbecue and waves her fan towards it, leaving behind a trail a smoke and steam. Next, she uses a larger fish, then finally, roasts meat. Nami and Usopp go faster to be side by side, but to Nami's surprise as she readies a ring, she notices that the two are having a meal on their boat. One by one, Keroko flings a piece of coal into the air with her chopsticks and, with her fan, launches the pieces towards Nami and Usopp's boat. They were able to dodge it, but they will not be able to any longer, as one of the pieces of coal starts the light the boat on fire.



Nami frantically holds her ring high, preventing it from being burned by the flames which now engulf their boat. Usopp remains calm in a thinking position. He tries to think of a great idea which enlightens Nami, but then discovers that he cannot. In a furious rage, she grabs a box from the boat and chucks it at Usopp's head. They notice that the box reads "RESCUE BOX". Kerojii and Keroko encourage Nami to open it, because, it might just turn the tables for them. Excited, she opens the box, only to find two coffee mugs inside. Desperate, she uses the cups to pour water onto the boat. Usopp finds a second box and excitedly opens it. It automatically opens and wraps itself around Usopp. Wings extend out from his back and carries Usopp into the air, leaving behind the shells of the case. As Usopp descends higher into the sky due to his glider, Usopp tries his best to stay down, but the winds continue to guide him into the air. Instead of resisting, he eventually decides to pull his goggles down and enjoy the view. Turning around, he spots a mountain with a mysterious object at the summit. Later with the majority of the trial completed by the others, Usopp manages to reach the others as Zoro is about to be caught. Usopp lets go of his glider and comes down with his 5 ton hammer, pounding Kerojii down into the water. Usopp throws a ring on Kerojii, ending the game. Even though Zoro was caught, the score was 4 to 3. Usopp smiles and laughs about his aid to their victory, until Nami stands up and slaps him and accuses him of betrayal. She slaps him again when Usopp abruptly replies that Nami is the one who specializes in betraying people. Zoro and Sanji aren't happy with each other either. 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. As Sanji and the performer engage in a cooking challenge, Nami cheers Sanji on, but soon finds Usopp beside her cheering as well. Nami walks away and continues to cheer. Usopp follows her and cheers for Sanji, too, just to be friendly with Nami. This time, Nami walks away from the grill and asks to sit with Muchigoro, who was sitting alone at one of the tables. Usopp just could not understand what was wrong with Nami.

Usopp eventually leaves the cooking contest himself, entering the forest. He finds a turtle shell lying on the ground and kicks it out of anger. Hurting himself, a person emerges from it. This person thought Usopp's hat was pretty cool, so he wanted to have it. The boy continues to demand for it, but Usopp refuses each time. Usopp wonders what was up with this boy's speech, adding the suffix "-pu" to the end of his sentences. Feeling offended, the boy raises his head with startling eyes, which ominously turn from green to red. After which, Usopp disappears, with DJ Gappa taking his hat, and is later confirmed to have been taken prisoner by the Lily Carnation, and is eventually absorbed into the monstrous plant, becoming apart of it, as Luffy helplessly watches.



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 news of attacks on East Blue. Luffy says they will return to East Blue to protect it when Shiki's ship appears overhead. After warning him of the storm ahead, he comes down to meet them. There he reveals he has a Devil Fruit power to make any inanimate object he touches ignore gravity and float. After learning it was Nami that delivered the warning, and that they are headed to East Blue, Shiki offers to take them there and uses his power on Sunny. Together the two ships travel to the floating island seen before where Shiki suddenly kidnaps Nami. Sanji along with the others try to rescue her, but by controlling the Thousand Sunny using his power, he escapes them, as well as scattering them among the fragments of the island.



Sanji and Usopp find themselves on an island surrounded by a cherry tree forest. Sanji wails for Nami and Robin, with Usopp urging him to shutup. Due to Sanji's loud outbursts it attracts the attention of many of the giant monster animals dwelling nearby. The two escape by jumping on some nearby hanging vines but discover they are hanging off the whiskers of a giant Toramata Tiger. Usopp is about be attacked by it but Sanji jumps in and delivers a powerful kick to its head, knocking the animal out. This however attracts the attention of a herd of Cowballs. The battle with them causes the ground to break and the two to fall below into a lake connected to another floating island.

Sanji and Usopp happen across a village, where everyone appears to have small wings on their arms, learn that Shiki also takes 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 meet up with Zoro and Chopper. When the rest of the crew shows at the village, Robin informs them of Shiki's plan. They learn there that Shiki is 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 learn that to prove the power of the animals he is planning a demonstration using a village on the floating island.



Shiki then arrives sometime later and confronts the Straw Hats who are there. Usopp attacks with Fire Bird Star, but Shiki dodges it with ease. Despite some initial success in the others fending him off, Usopp and the Straw Hats are defeated, and Nami is coerced into rejoining Shiki by him agreeing to leave them, and her home town be. Usopp, the only remaining crew member conscious tries to stop her, but Shiki knocks him out.

Xiao reappears and gives them the Dial Nami left them. Her mother, who earlier had expressed relief about the animals being sent to East Blue, apologizes for saying how happy she was for Shiki leaving for East Blue. They then play the message, and after hearing only the first bit of it, Luffy is angered to the point that he will not listen to the rest (the rest of the crew does, however).



Back at Shiki's place, Nami is found to have in fact been attempting to blow up the plants protecting his palace, but was overcome by the poison. Shiki traps her near the plants and heads off to meet the pirate captains gathering. The Straw Hats arrive at his palace and burst down the gates and make short work of the guards outside. While preparing a toast to the commencement of the operation, the Straw Hats march into the main meeting room brandishing various firearms and a new wardrobe.

After a short confrontation, where Shiki calls them simply a suicide squad, and reveals hundreds of men around them. They unload their firearms in the room, defeating most those gathered much to Shiki's dismay, then split up to defeat the rest. Luffy chases after Shiki, with the others helping fight off his minions and soldiers. Usopp and Chopper go off to try and rescue Nami. Chopper tracks her smell to the forest where she is slowly dying from the poison toxins. They find her but are hit by some explosives that destroy the surrounding trees. They quickly grab Nami and escape from the horde of giant animals that begin their onslaught towards Shiki's fortress.



Usopp and Chopper begin their search of the fortress for the science laboratory to retrieve the antidote. Shiki shows up and stops them, surrounding them with his Devil Fruit abilities. Luffy then appears and stops Shiki, as the two escape with Nami in tow. They find the laboratory and break in, finding a group of IQ Plants. Dr Indigo appears, laughing at them. Chopper says he recognizes him as a scientist from the smell of chemicals on him. Usopp demands him to hand over the antidote, but he refuses. Zoro shows up and challenges Indigo for the antidote. He easily finishes him off and retrieves the antidote for them.

When Nami awakens Usopp consoles her, explaining that the antidote is working on her and everyone is all fighting for her sake. Nami then orders the two to backtrack to the royal palace. There, Usopp and Chopper threaten one of the remaining scientists to have Shiki move the island into a storm cloud. After Shiki is defeated by Luffy, Usopp along with the other Straw Hats escape using Thousand Sunny, using Shiki's pirate sail as a parachute. Usopp is 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 then accepted their offer for a Davy Back Fight rematch. However, during the first contest it was revealed that the game was designed by Komei to trap Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji. Komei and Dojaku successfully captured Zoro and Sanji and set off.

The remaining Straw Hats allied with Foxy to go after Komei, and Kansho of the Foxy Pirates asked to come along, wanting to be with his idol Usopp. The pirates eventually reached the island of Nebulandia, where they fought against Marine ambushes and the island's environment, which weakened Devil Fruit users. Robin was captured, and as night fell, Franky and Usopp decided to sneak into the Marines' base. They entered an underground pipe room with water pooling at the bottom, and Franky then realized that the water was about to be electrified. He threw Usopp onto a pipe as he was electrocuted, but this left Usopp as a sitting duck, and Komei captured him and Franky.

Usopp and Franky were tied to a rock formation along with their other captured crewmates in order to lure Luffy there. However, Brook and Chopper eventually arrived with reinforcements from Kinoko Island, and Usopp and the other Straw Hats were all freed. Kansho then suddenly betrayed them and shot Luffy, but Luffy was saved by a luckily placed trinket. Kansho attempted to shoot Luffy again, but Usopp deflected his shot with one of his own as Foxy defeated Kansho. The Straw Hats then fought off the Marines on the island and returned to Kinoko Island, where they parted with the Foxy Pirates. The Straw Hats then celebrated their victory with a banquet.

Silver Mine Arc
As the Straw Hats and Barto Club slept during the night, Luffy and Bartolomeo were suddenly kidnapped by the Silver Pirate Alliance. The two crews got up to confront the alliance, and Usopp fired a Pop Green Sea Devil to attack them, but they surrounded and destroyed it. The Straw Hats and Barto Club were then immobilized by Peseta's Adhesive Shells as the Silver Pirate Alliance took Luffy and Bartolomeo away.

The next day, the Straw Hats and Barto Club arrived at Silver Mine, but they were besieged by the Silver Pirate Alliance. Usopp fired another Pop Green Sea Devil, which successfully dealt damage to the enemy pirates this time. After Luffy and Bartolomeo reached the ship, the Straw Hats and Barto Club then set sail for Zou.

Heart of Gold


While some of the Straw Hats were fishing in a snowy ocean, they saw Myskina Olga riding toward the Sunny on her steed Elizabeth. They pulled the two up to the deck, and Olga was weak from hunger. She attempted to use force to threaten them to feed her, but the Straw Hats readily fed and welcomed her. While talking to her, they found out that she was from the lost island of Alchemi, where the legendary treasure Pure Gold was located. After much convincing, Olga agreed to take them to Alchemi and the Pure Gold.

However, they came under attack by Mad Treasure and the Treasure Pirates, who were also after Olga ann the Pure Gold. The Straw Hats managed to easily fend off the enemy pirates, but during the battle, Olga's ring fell into the ocean. The ring contained a sliver of the Pure Gold, and a giant fish named Bonbori emerged to consume it. The Sunny was pulled into its mouth, and the Straw Hats attempted to escape, but Olga told them to go into it, so they did so. They were pursued by the Treasure Pirates, who continued their attack. The attack nearly caused the Sunny to hit Bonbori's uvula, and Luffy managed to block the collision, but was sent flying far away by Naomi Drunk. As Olga went to rescue Luffy, the Sunny fell into Bonbori's throat.



After the fall, Usopp, Nami, Chopper, Robin, and Brook were left helpless and were subsequently captured and enslaved by the Treasure Pirates. Mad Treasure began torturing his slaves, then ordered his men to bind the slaves, and hide them with the powers of Psycho P, then brought them to the beach where he could show them to Luffy. This allowed him to trap Luffy and take Olga, and they set sail for Alchemi. The captured Straw Hats were forced to row the Shark Emeralda to Alchemi, and they approached a temple entrance near the coast.



They managed to pass through the first trial, and came to the second one, where they needed to hit a target on the other side of a large chasm to activate a drawbridge. Usopp volunteered himself, and as Chopper protected him from a dinosaur, he shot at the target. However, an updraft caused his shot to miss, and a pterodactyl came out to attack the group. Usopp then managed to incorporate the updraft into his shot, and fired multiple shots in order to hit the target with an Exploding Star. The drawbridge was lowered, and the group reached the final gate, where there were a lot of keyholes. Nami put the key into the wrong keyhole, causing the giant stone crocodile mouth over her head to come down slowly. The other Straw Hats tried propping the mouth up, but were unable to stop its descent as Nami failed to find the right keyhole. However, right as they were about to be crushed, Luffy came running in and shattered the stone mouth with a punch. Olga's father Myskina Acier then arrived and opened a trapdoor underneath the Straw Hats and Olga, sending them falling into a room below. There, they found the Pure Gold.

However, Acier activated bombs in the temple, forcing the Straw Hats and Olga to escape. Luffy battled Mad Treasure and defeated him, causing Bonbori to get dry heaves. After the crew reunited and Franky brought the Sunny to Alchemi, they rode up Bonbori's throat as it vomited them back out into the ocean. They then watched as the Pure Gold was assimilated in Bonbori's lamp. The next day, they dropped Olga and Acier off on an island, and Nami revealed that she had acquired a Vivre Card leading to the entertainment city Gran Tesoro, which the Straw Hats decided to go to.

One Piece Film: Gold
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. Usopp rode on top of Chopper in Walk Point, and fired Pop Greens at various enemy pirates. However, Chopper jumped and accidentally made Usopp hit the mast, causing him to fall off. The Straw Hats defeated the Long Long Pirates, and watched as the proprietor of Gran Tesoro, Gild Tesoro, encased the remaining members 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. However, Usopp and the Straw Hats were approached by a group of kids selling flowers, and Usopp was appalled to find that they cost 5000, but Baccarat chased the kids away. They went to a casino, where Baccarat gave them 20,000,000 worth in tokens. Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper participated in a turtle car race, but as they began to draw near the lead, the lead driver Whitejack had Kiruko spray a liquid on the track in front of them, causing their car to skid and stop. However, they continued driving and approached the lead once again, but the driver in front of them, Kent Beef Jr., had Pork throw a bale of hay at them. Their vision obstructed, the Straw Hats careened off the track and onto a golf course, where they skidded around. However, Luffy managed to pull them back to the track, where they caught up with the remaining two drivers and just barely beat them across the finish line to claim victory.

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 Tanaka jumped in and out of the ground, shooting the Straw Hats with his gun and throwing them into chaos. 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 them. 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. Tesoro trapped the Straw Hats in gold tendrils, and prepared to begin the entertainment spectacle by executing Zoro as the Straw Hats' bodies slowly became encased in gold. 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. After taking out several former prisoners of Gran Tesoro, Baccarat confronted Usopp, Chopper, and Brook, planning to take them out with just her luck and a coin. She threw the coin at the trio, causing a chain reaction that resulted in a bomb falling on them and injuring them. Baccarat continued throwing her coin at them, causing more and more misfortune to fall on them until Usopp finally ran away. However, as Baccarat was about to finish off Chopper and Brook, Usopp returned and fired a large purple ball at her, though the ball missed. However, Usopp then fired a Midori Boshi: Dokuro Bakuhatsu So, which successfully hit Baccarat. As Baccarat went down, she expressed shock that she had bad luck, and the purple ball opened to reveal a slot machine filled with gold coins, which had allowed Usopp's luck to triumph over hers.

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.

One Piece: Stampede
The Straw Hats came to Delta Island for the Pirates Festival, where they took part in a massive hunt for a treasure belonging to Gol D. Roger. The Straw Hats glided up a Knock Up Stream to a floating island, and fought against other pirate competitors. Suddenly, Law arrived on the Sunny and revealed that something suspicious was going on behind the scenes. Sanji, Robin, Chopper, and Brook accompanied him on a mission to Delta Island, while the rest of the crew continued on the treasure hunt.

The pirate competitors reached the floating island and engaged in an all-out brawl as they searched for the treasure, which was eventually found, although no one could seize possession of it. Suddenly, a galleon came up the Knock Up Stream and destroyed the floating island, sending the pirates falling back down to Delta Island. While falling, Usopp found himself next to the treasure chest and grabbed it. After he landed, however, he was swiftly and brutally defeated by Douglas Bullet, who took the treasure back. Bullet attempted to kill Usopp, but threw him aside as he battled members of the Worst Generation. When Bullet emerged victorious, he attempted to kill Luffy, but Usopp stopped him by shooting Pop Greens at the metal exoskeleton he was inhabiting. One of the Pop Greens sprouted and ripped off one of the exoskeletons' fingers, but the others did nothing, and Bullet quickly brought down Usopp once again.

Later, a heavily injured Usopp regained consciousness and attempted to carry an unconscious Luffy to safety. The two found themselves in the path of a collapsing building, and Usopp did his best to protect Luffy from it, but could not stop all of it. However, Brook and Chopper then arrived, with the former stopping the falling building. Usopp told Chopper to treat Luffy first, and Chopper reluctantly obliged. After receiving treatment, Luffy went to go fight Bullet again, and Usopp, Chopper, and Brook watched as he and his allies tore apart the massive colossus Bullet inhabited. When Bullet attempted to confront Luffy in his exoskeleton, Usopp watched in triumph as the rest of his Pop Greens sprouted and destroyed the exoskeleton, leading Luffy to defeat Bullet once and for all.

The Straw Hats reunited and attempted to leave Delta Island on the Sunny, but were faced with a Marine Buster Call fleet. However, Sabo gave them a safe passage out by creating a wall of fire around them. Later, the Straw Hats discovered that Roger's treasure was an Eternal Pose to Laugh Tale and that Luffy had destroyed it. Most of them were shocked, but Usopp was not surprised.
