"Usopp's Death?! Luffy - Yet To Land?" is the 33rd episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
After Zoro escapes with Nami's help, she tries to prove her loyalty to the Arlong Pirates by appearing to kill Usopp. Meanwhile, Luffy's group finally arrives at the island with Momoo's help.
Long Summary[]
As Luffy, Sanji and Yosaku sail towards Arlong Park with Momoo's help, Zoro, having cleared the base from all other enemies, meet one of Arlong's officers, Hatchan. Believing him to simply be a guest visiting the base, Hatchan offers to give Zoro a ride to Cocoyasi Village. Zoro departs just before Arlong returns to the base and discovers the damage done to the base. He is informed that the prisoner they have just captured was none other than Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro.
Meanwhile, Usopp evades pursuit by angered Arlong Pirates. Although successfully escapes Arlong's lesser combatants, he falls off a cliff, attracting the attention of Chew, one of Arlong's officers. He is captured and brought to Arlong Park for interrogation. Another officer, Kuroobi, suspects that Nami lured Zoro to the base, then helped him escape custody.
Nami arrives to levy the allegations made against her, but Kuroobi adds to the accusations, reporting finding a treasure map in Nami's home, suggesting she was keeping treasure in Cocoyasi Village. In order to prove her allegiance to the Arlong Pirates, she stabs Usopp in the stomach, causing him to fall into the pool. Arlong's officers now trust Nami, letting her go.
Nami goes to her office, but notices that Luffy's ship had arrived at Arlong Park. The ship is sent flying into the sky, meets Zoro in the forest, and crashes into a paddy. At that moment, Johnny, having witnessed Nami stab Usopp, reports Usopp's killing.

Anime Notes[]
The following are the differences between the anime and the manga:
- In the anime, Arlong and his men are shown to be walking from Cocoyasi Village back to Arlong Park. In the manga, there is no such scene.
- Usopp is shown evading Arlong’s men near Cocoyasi Village and is eventually caught by Chew. In the manga, he is seen to have already been captured by Chew and brought to Arlong Park.
- In the anime, Kuroobi is shown to inspect the prison cell where Zoro was held captive and finds ropes that have been cut. In the manga, Kuroobi simply wonders how Zoro could have escaped and suspects Nami to have betrayed them.
- In the anime, when Nami stabs Usopp, he falls into the water on his own. In the manga, Nami kicks him into the water. The anime also censors the blood, coloring it white.
