Ganzo's oden shop passes the Baratie as a bemused Sanji looks on and goes about his business.[21]
[]
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.[22]
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 Straw Hats and Thief Brothers are confronted by Honey Queen.
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.
Sanji defeats Boo Jack.
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.[23]

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.[24]
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.[25]
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.[26]
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.[27]
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.[28] 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.[29]
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.[30]
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.[31]
Arabasta Saga[]
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.[32]

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.[33]
Sky Island Saga[]
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.[34] 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.[35] 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.[36] 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.[37] 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.[38]
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.[39]
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.[40]
Open Upon the Great Sea! A Father's Huge, HUGE Dream![]
The Straw Hats arrive onto Shellfish Island where they run into a mysterious group of people looking for treasure. The same group is then ambushed by the Bayan Pirates' second in command, Zap, who captures the oldest child, Amanda, along with a sleepy Luffy, who apparently had sleeping medicine put into his food by Sanji earlier to make him quiet.
Straw Hats visit Amanda's father's hut to try to find out where the great treasure is. They learn that the treasure island is between Mamanato Island and Samua Island, which is the island that they are on now. They also learn Amanda holds the key to finding the treasure. After this, the Straw Hats, Maccus, Bonney, and Amanda's younger siblings follow the Bayan crew to their main ship in order to save Luffy and Amanda.
As the Straw Hats arrive to save their captain, Bayan decides to force Luffy to fight his own crew. This tactic was successful until Usopp manages to shoot sleeping pellets into the singers' mouths, stopping them from singing. As Bonney and Maccus board the ship and fail to defeat Zap, The Straw Hats then board Bayan's ship, easily defeating Zap and, using a combined attack against Bayan, send him off into the ocean, and rescuing Amanda in the process.
The Straw Hats then sail back to the island where the treasure is supposed to be. Afterwards, the island starts to "open" and reveals itself to be a giant clam. Inside is a gigantic pearl, which makes Amanda acknowledge her father's drive for adventure, as they all realize that the island itself was the treasure that the map leads to. Afterwards Bonney and Maccus offer to adopt the children, as the Straw Hats say farewell to the newly formed family.[41]
Protect! The Last Great Performance[]
One day on a random island, the Straw Hats decide to buy tickets to go see the farewell performance from a long time actor named Randolph. 30 minutes before the play is set to start, 3 actors decide to quit the play, leaving Randolph's play shorthanded. Nami makes a deal with the manager of the play to participate as the princess for 100,000, and the other Straw Hats decide to help as well.
As the first act ended up being disastrous, due to the straw hats' individual performances, including Sanji's, who's playing a pirate, failing to memorize his lines and cannot bring himself to attack Nami, whose playing a princess even if it's just pretend. Randolph, playing a marine officer, however performs a valiant speech which inspires the audience and keeps the show going. Before Act 2, Randolph finds out Luffy is a pirate and attacks him, due to his own past as a ex marine and the loss of his family to pirates. Knowing that Luffy was a pirate made Randolph angry and he attempted to fight him. Seeing as Act 2 was soon to come, Randolph decided to postpone the fight until after the play.
Just as everyone was about to start the 2nd act, a marine commander showed up and arrested Randolph for selling weapons to pirates. This turned out to be a lie however as this marine commander Governor had planted those weapons on Randolph's ship for revenge, as the commander was a former subordinate of Randolph who once tried to sell weapons to pirates to speed up his own promotion within the marines and to make money, but Randolph caught on and tried to get him kicked out by court martial. Although he failed to prove his guilt, Governor's plans to rise the ranks were greatly halted as a result of Randolph's actions for years, with the commander now back to get his revenge and arrested Randolph.
After falling into a cell, Randolph is freed by Luffy who tells him to go back to his ship and finish the act. Randolph refuses to accept help from a pirate but once they are discovered, Luffy grabs Randolph and fights through many marines until he escapes the marine ship and places Randolph back on his own ship and stage. Commander Governor tells the marines to fire and sink both the Going Merry and Randolph's ship but Luffy stops the cannonballs from reaching Randolph's ship. Luffy vows to protect Randolph's performance and yells to Randolph to hurry and finish the act.
While Randolph is performing the act, the marines send two ships around the Going Merry to try and sink Randolph's ships. Zoro and Sanji head out to stop these ships and defend against cannonballs. Eventually, the marines focus all fire on the Straw Hat Pirates and sink both Zoro's and Sanji's rowboats. As the rest of the crew deals with marines, Luffy and Chopper board the main marine ship during the confusion and knock out all of the marines on board. Two other marine ships try to help the main marine flagship but each one is destroyed by Sanji and Zoro respectively. Commander Governor wonders why the pirates are so strong and finally realizes that they are facing the Straw Hat Pirates. He accuses an underling of making the mistake and threatens him with court martial, but the marine says go ahead and threatens to reveal the truth about Commander Governor.
Meanwhile, Randolph is just about to finish his play when he decides to change the last line. Instead of "I will fight until every pirate is dead at my feet", he tells the audience that the pirates in the play actually disposed of the cruel and greedy princess of the village. He says that he will fight against all who are despicable instead. He will fight against those with rotten souls and that even if your loved ones are slain by these evil people, you must forge ahead and live on.
The Straw Hat Pirates defeat all the marines that fight, while some decide to ditch the cowardly Commander Governor. With no men left, Governor states he will not give up and will just lie on his reports to his superiors about what happened. Luffy then drops down into the commanders room however, and punches him through the sky.
Randolph's new speech brings tears and cheers to the audience as his farewell performance comes to an end. As Luffy and the rest leave the island, Luffy yells to Randolph that he will be back to settle things and to not to forget about it and Randolph remarks that Luffy better not forget their postponed fight either as the Straw Hats sail off into the sunset.[42]
G-8 Arc[]
When the Straw Hats drop from the sky after their adventure in Skypiea, they land in the middle of the marine base known as G-8, they are forced to abandon their ship, as many marines immediately spring upon it. Separated, the crewmates are forced to disguise themselves and try to find a way out of the base, which is comprised of a huge mountain surrounded by water, and then a ring of sheer rock cliffs that form a wall of sorts.
As the crew separates, Sanji, hiding in a tree, hopes that Nami and Robin are okay when a patrolling marine shoots at him, claiming he saw a light. As they walk away Sanji got mad saying he can't even smoke in peace to himself. Later Sanji catches Luffy as he is seen literally shadowing a random marine for fun, with Sanji thinks about how stupid he is being and how he never takes things seriously.[43] The following morning, Sanji and Luffy get by with some disguises, all whilst impersonating a pair of famous cooks named the Marley Brothers, who arrived at G-8 around the same time as the Straw Hats. There they meet Jessica, the head cook, whom Sanji promptly falls in love with and begins to fawn over. When she insults his cooking, however, he decides to show her the true meaning of "cooking from the heart". He impresses all of the cooking Marines with his skills and shows Jessica that a good chef avoids wasting food, while Luffy only eats what was already prepared. Both of them are accepted as the new cooks.[44]
In the kitchen, Sanji is wondering how to escape. He states that the reason they were stuck there was because of Luffy not doing anything. Jessica arrives and asks if he is finished with the onions yet and wants them to cut to the next three hundred onions. Sanji immediately complies, and with Luffy stating that Sanji was the real reason they were stuck.[45] They are later tasked with serving dinner to the Vice Admiral of the Base, Jonathan. Luffy, as the waiter, gives vice admiral Jonathan his meal, but he's immediately recognized and discovered. Sanji tries to save him but they're surrounded by cooks. Luckily a hundred marines enter in the kitchen in that moment and the two pirates run away in the crowd without being arrested. As they run away, they learn that Zoro and Usopp are now imprisoned, so Luffy and Sanji, try to reach the jail to free their friends.[46]
Luffy and Sanji sneak around the base, attempting to find the jail where Zoro and Usopp are being held. However, neither of them know where the jail is, thus they assume it is in the suspicious looking island surrounded by water. Luffy and Sanji attempt to infiltrate the prison leads to them racing down into an obvious trap. Luffy discovers the bars are made out of Seastone, whist Sanji attempts to kick down the bars, also discovering that they are practically unbreakable. However, Sanji takes Usopp's impact dial, only to find out it's the voice dial instead. He tries Usopp's other pocket, only for it to be the flavor dial. The gas sets off an explosion, and the Straw Hat's escape only to get lost while following Zoro.[47]
Luffy's group begins running around the base, being chased by Marines. In trying to escape, they end up in what seems like a dead-end at the side of the mountain and meet Jonathan again, who happened to be at the balcony of his office. Luffy tells Jonathan that he has freed his crewmates and declares that they were going to escape the base. This makes Jonathan laugh, asking him if he really thinks he can escape Navarone Island with their treasure, to which Luffy replies that they are pirates and that the Marines can't catch them. Suddenly a huge cannon fires at Luffy's group, and they run back inside the base.
Instead of going in pursuit of the Straw Hats, Jonathan decides to set a trap for them in Dock 88, where the Going Merry is moored, as he knows this is where they will surely go. He tasks Lieutenant Commander Drake to set up the ambush in Dock 88 and since it will take Drake some time to arrive at said dock, he orders Unit 55 to slow the Straw Hats down to stall for time. He stations them at the bridge which is the only way to get to the ship.
As Luffy's group arrives at the bridge leading to Dock 88, they see that the bridge is unguarded, they gather that it must be a trap. They decide that they don't care and go ahead and cross it. Unit 55 block their path and have them surrounded from all sides. Luffy's group easily defeats them but, in the process, Luffy destroys the bridge, and they all fall into the bay. Even with the damage caused, Jonathan in pleased with the result since it bought them the time they needed to set up the ambush in Dock 88. Luffy's group heads to the dock, straight into the trap, seemingly cornered. Luffy is shot with a Seastone net and is incapacitated. Just then, Nami and Dr. Kobato also arrive pushing a hospital bed, with Chopper hidden in the sheets pretending to be a patient.[48]
As Nami's group arrive in Dock 88 to help, Drake's men bombard Luffy's group with gun fire but he easily repels the bullets using his Devil Fruit powers. The Marines resort to using what seem like bazookas seeing that their guns are ineffective. They have fired instead, flash bombs to subdue the pirates which stings their eyes. Drake then has his Sword Unit attack the Straw Hats as they are still trying to recover from the effects of the flash bomb. The Crew are able to fight off the attacks. Luffy is then shot with a Seastone net and is instantly incapacitated. Drake demands that they surrender and tells them that while their Marine base policy is to take prisoners alive, he will not hesitate to change this policy if he is met with any resistance.
With Luffy in a weakened state, Sanji, Zoro and Usopp seem to be unable to resist the overwhelming number of the Marines in the dock and consider surrendering. Just as the Marines are about to capture them, Nami and Dr. Kobato, with Chopper still hidden under the sheets of the hospital bed, get up, and as the marines notice the doctor, Kobato then pretends to be a hostage and screams in feigned terror. She hints at Nami of her plan and in turn, Nami also pretends to be a nurse held hostage by Chopper, now in his Heavy Point form. Chopper acts like a tough and ruthless pirate and demands that the Marines stand down and let them board their ship. As Drake gives in and orders his men to stand down in return for the release of the hostages, Zoro releases Luffy from the Seastone net but Luffy remains weak.
Drake "accommodates" the Straw Hats and lets them board their ship, but Zoro senses another trap. He silently tells Luffy to sling them to their ship on his signal. A Marine covertly rescues Dr. Kobato and another also tries to rescue Nami, but she punches the Marine. This was their signal to rush towards the ship. Luffy slings the Crew onto the Merry. Mekao, with the safety of his daughter in mind, aides the pirates in their escape by releasing the Going Merry from the dock into the bay. Thinking that the Straw Hats are holding the "nurse" Nami as hostage, Drake orders them not to shoot at them, but instead to just give them warning shots. As the ship sails away, the Marines scope out the ship and notice Nami giving the crew orders and realize that she is not being held hostage. They realize that she is actually part of the Straw Hats. As Robin later arrives and rejoins the crew, She gives Nami a map of Navarone Island which she obtained in the library.
The Marines start shooting cannons at the Merry and start giving chase using warships. Nami refers to the map and sees the only way out of the base is the Sea Gate, to which they head. She notices that the water is too shallow and that the map doesn't make sense. They head to the Sea Gate anyway and try to think of a plan to open the gate. The Marines continue their barrage on the Merry while the Straw Hats don't have a way to retaliate since the Marines have confiscated all their cannon balls. Luffy devises a plan and catches all the cannon balls shot at them with his Gomu Gomu no Fusen ability and redirects them towards the gate. Just as the gate explodes, Nami realizes that if the Marines took all their cannon balls, they must have also taken the treasure they found on Skypiea.[49]
The Straw Hats decide to go back for the gold, as well as Nami's waver. They hide the Going Merry in an abandoned dock, since there are so many. Usopp uses the junk in the dock to disguise Merry as a Naval ship, and then splits the crew into two teams: one team to recover the treasure gained at Skypiea, and the other team to retrieve Nami's Waver. Chopper is left behind to guard the Merry.[50] Jonathan tricks the crew into another ambush, this one in a huge room that is locked from the outside. Drake is once again leading the attack, with countless marines backing him up, and things look bleak until Agent Shepherd foolishly opens the doors and allows Luffy, Robin, Zoro, and Usopp to escape.[51]
As Nami's group retrieves the Waver and return to the ship, she goes looking for Luffy and finds him, only to discover that they still do not have the gold. Nami suspects that it's in the Commander's office, so she and Luffy go alone while everyone else goes back to the boat. Using the Waver, she and Luffy scale the main mountain and break into Jonathan's office. Marines fill the room but Nami uses her Thunder Tempo attack to electrocute them all. She and Luffy grab the treasure and head back to the boat. However, Jonathan is not worried, because at 9 PM the "fangs of G-8" will appear. What he means is the inner lake becomes so shallow that the Going Merry is stranded on a reef. With no water, the Merry is stuck in the mud while the marines mobilize.[52]
When Luffy commands the ship to go full speed ahead, a hole was torn in the hull by the rocks on the harbor floor, so they stop. The harbor eventually reaches a very low tide, rendering the ship unable to move. Jonathan gloats via megaphone how he had captured the Straw Hat Pirates. However, the Straw Hat Pirates decide to launch a plan of their own; they use Usopp's Impact Dial to launch the ship into the air, then uses an Octopus Balloon inflated with Breath and Flame Dials to float in the air. Jonathan orders his men to fire a "warning shot" at the balloon. However, Shepherd also aims for the balloon with his bazooka, only to instead miss and shoot down the Marines' cannon, with the Straw Hats escaping, once and for all.
As the Straw Hats are seen flying towards the sunset. Usopp begins working on fixing the hole in the hull, as they continue to sail away from the base and onto the open sea.[53]

Ocean's Dream Arc[]
One night aboard the Going Merry, Robin is reading late at night while the others are sleeping. Suddenly, a mysterious figure appears in the ocean and plays an instrument resembling a seahorse.
Nami wakes up in the morning, but cannot recognize Robin. Chopper, Usopp, Sanji, and Luffy also wake up soon after, all of which are confused as to why they woke up on the ship; their memories were erased. Usopp lies and says that he was a famous pirate, but his lie is seen through quickly by Sanji.
The Straw Hats all meet at the deck and notice Chopper, wondering who he is. Robin comes up to Nami to say that she lost her memory, with Sanji seeing her and instantly falling in love. Robin explains that they were on the Grand Line, and that they were on a pirate ship led by Luffy. Nami then goes to her room and finds her logbook, finding that the notes were written in her handwriting.
Nami decides that she must return to Cocoyasi Village. She escapes the ship using a Waver. Zoro also decides to leave, and jumps in the water and swims. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure watches from a hill.[54]
Robin comes to a conclusion and informs the Straw Hats about their memories being erased from them. In the dining room, Robin tells everyone left what she remembers of their adventures, but being the latest member, she does not know the circumstances under which everyone joined. She then recounts what happened the previous day and says that she heard a strange sound. With a whistle from the tea kettle, everyone with memory loss realizes that they all had the same dream about a boy underwater blowing into an instrument, and only Robin was not affected because she was awake. They reach the conclusion that the boy is the cause of the memory loss and that he may strike again that night, possibly taking all of their memories this time.
Despite everyone being upset over this realization, Luffy simply figures that although their old memories had been lost, they would just make new memories through their adventures. Later that night, the boy stands on the ship's figurehead and blows the horn. Robin confronts him, waking up all the Straw Hats in the process. Angry, the boy attempts to blow into his horn again, but is confronted by Luffy for sitting on the figurehead. The horn emits a blue, sparkling dust that flows into Luffy's mouth. The boy escapes, but when Luffy wakes up, he regains his memory in the process.[55]
After regaining his memories, Luffy tells everyone what he remembers as well as their roles on the crew, but then tells them that he wants to bring back Zoro and Nami, though Robin convinces him to wait until morning. The next day, as Sanji gets ready to go to the island with the others, he starts thinking back to his time on the deserted island with Zeff. As they come onto the island and immediately bump into Nami, and Luffy forces her to help them find Zoro. On their way, Robin comes across some ancient writing and, realizing the true cause behind the memory loss, and convinces everyone go to a place called the "Sea God's Palace". Meanwhile, the boy hypnotizes Zoro into joining his side.[56] After reaching the forest, Usopp and Chopper end up finding Zoro and brings him back to the others. However, as soon as they arrive, Zoro suddenly begins to attack Luffy. As the Straw Hats believe that Zoro was hypnotized, Luffy tells the others to go ahead to the temple, while he stayed behind to battle Zoro.
Meanwhile, on the way to the Palace, Nami tells the Straw Hats that Luffy and Robin are lying to them, and that they should go home. However, the Straw Hats decide to stay with Robin, and they leave Nami behind. Nami, however, decides to follow the Straw Hats to reclaim her gold. Upon arriving at the Palace, Robin explains that there is a legendary monster that would feed on others' memories to survive, and that the monster resided in the island. Nami and Usopp try to reach the Straw Hats, but are approached by the cloaked boy. Sanji leaps into the air and kicks the boy, causing the seahorse horn to release the Straw Hats' memories and also play a sound. Because the boy was briefly unconscious from the kick, he lost his memories. The boy, confused as to where he was, flees.
Robin explains that the real thief was the seahorse horn. It tries to flee, but is caught by Sanji. Sanji beats the seahorse until it coughed up the Straw Hats' memories. Having regained their memories, they wonder if Zoro has regained his memories. Zoro approaches them, and Sanji is prepared to fight him. The seahorse communicates via Chopper that it still had its last resort.[57]
As Zoro approaches the Straw Hats, prepared to fight them, Sanji battles Zoro, but Luffy launches himself forward, hitting Zoro and Sanji both. When they wake up, Zoro reveals that he regained his memory when the seahorse coughed up his memory, with Luffy right behind him. Sanji was mad that Zoro still looked scary after regaining his memory. Zoro then jumps into the lake to chase the seahorse. After Zoro catches it, the seahorse uses his last resort: he sprays a gas into the air that makes the Straw Hats hallucinate people from their past memories (Bell-mere, Hiriluk, Kaya, Kuina, Zeff, Ace, and Shanks), then their past enemies (Arlong, Wapol, Kuro, Krieg, Crocodile, and Enel). The seahorse then steals the Straw Hats' memories, causing it to inflate and be able to float; claiming that it became a Sennenryu.
Despite having lost all of his memories, Luffy decides that he wants to ride the seahorse and unintentionally uses his Devil Fruit powers to fly into it and wrap his arms around it. This causes the seahorse to return Luffy's memories, so he beats up the seahorse until everyone's memory returns and sends it flying off the island.
As the crew comes down to the village thinking they will be rewarded for getting everyone's memories back, they are instead attacked. Drim, the boy who carried the seahorse around, misinterpreted the situation and thought the Straw Hat Pirates were the ones who took everyone's memories and warned the entire village, so the crew is forced to rush back to the ship and leave.[58]
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.
Zoro and Sanji defeat Kerodeek and Keroshot.
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 is defeated by Sanji.
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.
The Lily Carnation reveals its true form.
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.[59]
The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle[]
During a raging storm, the crew searches a wrecked pirate ship for any treasure only to find a single chest. On the Going Merry, they open it only to find an old woman who hid there to escape the storm. As they contemplate what to do with her, even suggesting to put her back in the box, the woman tells them about a legendary Golden Crown on her island that she will let them have if they return her there. Though the rest of the crew thinks this sounds suspicious, Luffy agrees. As it turns out, it is impossible to reach using a Log Pose, requiring the use of a "Turtle Pose", which uses a small turtle that always points to the island.
As they come up to the island, the crew hears a fisherman singing an old folk song about the Golden Crown known as the Yurari Uta. The woman explains that the island is known as Mecha Island and as the pirates get closer, they set off a defense system involving arrow-firing robots. When the island's leader, Ratchet, sees the old lady, his mother, on the ship, he launches a hand glider and retrieves her from the ship. Then, one of Ratchet's subordinates, General Maji, activates the robots, sending hundreds of arrows flying towards the ship, but Zoro deflects all of them. Maji then activates a giant fan to blow the ship away, but the arrow robots end up getting sucked into it. Though the metal parts being blown out of the fan wreck the Going Merry's main sail, the fan is destroyed while Maji gets his back broken by Robin's Clutch.
Due to this, the crew cannot leave the island, so they decide to stay and search for the Golden Crown. They realize that there may be hints in the song they heard earlier, which Robin had thankfully written down. The two possible clues they find in the song refer to "the white snake's eyes" and "the two moons". They manage to figure out that the white snake is referring to a rock shaped like a snake head, but cannot understand what the two moons refer to. Usopp suggests that maybe it is the moon and its reflection, but that is wrong too. As it turns out, Ratchet is also trying to figure out the same thing, but he decides to leave the Straw Hats alone for now, believing that it is impossible for them to solve the mystery. During a contest between him and Usopp, Luffy breaks off one of the snake rock's eyes, and Robin realizes that they may have misinterpreted the lyrics of the song. Luffy breaks off the other eye, revealing an entrance into the island. When Ratchet hears about this from Maji, who was watching the crew, he freaks out for a bit but eventually calms down and decides to use them to get the treasure for himself. Maji then invites the crew to a party at Ratchet's castle, which they begrudgingly accept.
As the Straw Hats reach the castle, Luffy happily begins eating as the crew look around the venue as the party starts. As they look around they notice that the entire staff are all robots dressed like maids, except for the Butler. At the party, Ratchet asks for the Straw Hats to help him find the treasure. Though the rest of the crew finds this suspicious, Luffy agrees to help. The next day, the crew along with Ratchet and his friends enter the cave. They pass through a narrow passage and fall down a waterfall before crashing their ship on land. Luffy comes across a beautiful lake surrounded by animal statues with light shining through the top, and Robin finds a pillar with the final part of the song written on it. At first, they think it means to say that it is time to drink up the lake, but they soon realize that it actually means that the Ibis statue can drink up the lake. Luffy unintentionally knocks down a giant statue of this bird into the lake, and all of the water drains away. At the bottom of the lake is a passage, which Robin, Chopper, and Sanji go through while the others stay to investigate the newly exposed surroundings.
As Robin's group manage to reach the top of the mountain and investigate the temple located there, they make a discovery that literally causes the entire island to shake and fall apart, as the island itself was actually a Giant sleeping turtle. As it turns out, the song actually serves as instructions to awaken the island-sized turtle, with the island itself onto of its shell, which Ratchet reveals he knew this entire time, though he also points out that he still has not figured out what the Golden Crown is referring to, so there may still be a treasure.
At this point, Ratchet reveals his true intentions: he will use the turtle to take over the world, which everyone immediately thinks is stupid. As his group manages to escape from the pirates, he activates his giant mechanical castle which takes the turtle and manipulates it using giant cables in order to force it to move, to advance his world domination plot. The Straw Hats gather together and break into the castle in order to stop him, but Chopper goes off on his own when the turtle starts speaking to him. The remaining six are caught in a trap, where they have to deal with Ratchet and one his inventions, a mechanized battle suit, which empresses Luffy, up until he easily destroys it and Ratchet escapes, leaving them trapped. The Straw Hats remain trapped, only to be released by Gonzo. He and Ratchet's mother arrive and beg the crew to stop Ratchet, as he uses the castle to take control of the turtle. At this point, Chopper learns that the turtle is to be awakened every 1000 years to lay its eggs. The island turtle starts moving, and when Usopp notices this, he starts to run back outside to make sure the Going Merry is alright.
As Luffy runs on ahead, Sanji and Robin are separated from the others and are attacked by Ratchet's henchman Honki in a mechanic suit. As Honki tries to stop the duo, Sanji ends up fighting him and easily defeats him and his suit. After which, the two catch up with everyone as they make it outside after Luffy defeats Ratchet. Nami's group, who had retrieved the ship, meet up with everyone and tell them that the turtle is going to crash into a nearby island. Using a combination of attacks from Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro, Luffy executes an attack called Gomu Gomu no Kaiten Ono on the castle. Luffy breaks the castle apart, releasing the turtle, yet Zoro and Sanji had to stop Luffy before he accidentally hurt the turtle. The turtle stops and successfully lays its eggs. As the crew start to leave, one of the eggs hatched. Luffy sees this and realizes that the Golden Crown is referring to the broken turtle egg shells, which are literally made of gold. They take one of the shells with them as they leave what's left of Mecha Island, but it ends up sinking into the water as they sail off towards their next adventure.[60]

Thriller Bark Saga[]
Ice Hunter Arc[]
The Straw Hats, onboard their new ship, the Thousand Sunny encounter a damaged ship, whose members led by a man named Stansen they decide to help, but who then try to trick them. They are then revealed to be working for the bounty hunter group named Accino Family, led by a man named Don Accino.[61]
At the same time, Salchow of the Accino family receives Stansen's report and tricks the Straw Hats into moving into a field of icebergs near Hyokaido, an area that is sometimes known as the frozen highway. Once trapped in the Hyokaido, the two boats have nowhere to go as the icebergs seem to move according to the Sunny's movements and lock them in.[62]
Meanwhile, the Straw Hats learn that the former Phoenix Pirates reportedly sailed into the New World but were heavily beaten there, losing the life of Vigaro, a crew member and vice-captain. Thereafter, they lost their flag to the Accino Family and became their soldiers-though only Stansen shows any "loyalty" to them. When their heavily injured captain, Puzzle recovers, he says that Stansen's decision "wasn't bad", that they will no longer be pirates or sail to the New World and that they will stay the bounty hunters' underlings. No one in the crew agrees with this, especially the very young and passionate member named Jiro, but the captain is not moved at all. Luffy, who was with Chopper on the Phoenix's ship to look on the injured Puzzle, head back, but the rope that was used to hold the ship close to the Sunny breaks in a rampage of several mysterious underwater "eruptions", separating the two ships.
The group trapped on the Sunny are encountered by Lil, Salchow, Arbell, and Hockera. They claim that it's impossible for them to escape and that all the crew will die. Franky, however, gets the ship out by using a "Coup de Burst". However after this happens, one of Lil's flying fish manages to steal the Straw Hats flag.[63] As the crew decide to reclaim their flag without Luffy finding out, They notice that Zoro is missing, and as they try to follow the flying fish and discover that the icebergs are in reality being moved around by flocks of penguins, an iceberg is rammed into the Sunny and throws both Usopp and Sanji overboard, because Robin is unable to grab them in time. As they fall off the ship into an ice cavern, they are later confronted by Salchow and his wife Arbell.[64]
As the battle goes on, Salchow and Arbell continuously skate around the duo, then throws Arbell at Sanji and rams her skates into his face, which pleases Sanji, but annoys Usopp, who finally has enough and knocks Arbell out with a shot from his Kabuto, which enrages Salchow, and also Sanji, which annoys Usopp again.[65] As Salchow charges at Usopp, he slips on the ice, and Usopp decides to shoot him as well. As Salchow and Arbell get back up and continue their attack on Usopp and Sanji, this time focusing on Usopp simply for payback, Sanji kicks Salchow out of formation and then catches Arbell, not exactly to her enjoyment, as she moves away from him in annoyance. After this, the two reveal that they have been skating around them in a circle on purpose, and their real goal was to break the ice beneath them and have them fall into penguin infested waters, which is exactly what happens. Usopp and Sanji are then "fished" out of the water by them and captured as a result.[66]
The two are taken to Lovely Land, the Accino Family's headquarters. In an underground ice chamber, Sanji and Usopp are trapped, later joined Nami and Franky, who were also captured by a member of the Accino Family. Franky tries to get everyone and escape with a "Coup de Boo", but he is out of cola and is too weak to get them out. Later while still trapped, Zoro falls down into the chamber, unaware of what's going on. After bringing him up to speed, they crew try to think of a way out, when they are then sent food on the request of Robin. Amongst the food are 3 bottles of cola, which allow Franky's Coup de Vent to blow away the cap of their prison. This allows the group to escape before freezing. They go and search for the flag.[67]
The newly freed Straw Hats search for the room with Don Accino's "collection", but they make the mistake of letting Zoro lead them, which ends in them getting hopelessly lost. While wandering around the Accino Family's castle, they encounter Robin and know she is safe. She departs, intending to let Lil show her to her father's room. Just as she leaves, the Straw Hats hear Luffy's screaming and notice he has arrived after following Campacino and his twin brother Brindo. In order to get the flag back before Luffy, they then split, most of them getting out to help him fight the whole Accino Family (excluding Lil and Don Accino).
Wanting payback, Sanji and Usopp go after Salchow and Arbell, with Sanji stopping them and the brothers Brindo and Campacino from attacking Luffy. Usopp watches Sanji get distracted by Arbell again, but is happy when Nami arrives to finish her off in Sanji's place. After Arbell is dealt with, Sanji focuses his attention on Salchow, and violently beats him up out of jealousy for being married to Arbell.[68] With Luffy preparing to fight against Accino, the others took the opportunity to go back into the mansion, with Nami staying with Luffy to monitor him and the others go to retrieve the flag. There, Sanji and Usopp notice that Franky has disappeared, as Franky got to the Shark Submerge and returned to the Sunny to help guard the ship from the penguins. Despite some trouble as Luffy and the Don fight on, and Lovely Land starts melting away before their eyes due to the Don's devil fruit ability, the Straw Hats and the Phoenix Pirates, meanwhile, manage to recover their flags.[69] After this, Luffy and Accino's intense battle reaches its end, with Luffy withstanding Accino's heat and managing to deliver the finishing blow.
After the intense battle between Accino and Luffy ends, wherein the Don is defeated and Hyokaido was completely melted, The Straw Hats then depart as Hyokaido begins to fall apart, while ensuring to put the flag back on the ship before Luffy notices its actually gone. As they sail away from the area, with the defeated Accino Family sail away with the Don in tow, Campacino and the remaining grunts follow them and try to get revenge. Then suddenly, the Phoenix Pirates arrive and Puzzle challenges Campacino instead. While they sail off, Chopper is worried about them, but Luffy says to see how determined they are and that nothing will happen to them. As Puzzle promises to meet the Straw Hats again in the New World, the crew sail away from the once frozen area, and continue onward toward their next adventure.[70]

Spa Island Arc[]
As the Straw Hats relax on Spa Island, they met Lina, her sister Sayo, and her pet sea raccoon, Nukky, who can shape-shift. Sayo is holding a notebook, and when asked about it, she decides that she and her sister should leave. This is when Foxy, along his loyal crewmates, Porche and Hamburg suddenly appear much to the Straw Hats' surprise (though Luffy takes awhile to remember who he is). While still miffed at his defeat since their last meeting, Foxy's only concern is Sayo's notebook. With a new trick up his sleaves, Foxy incapacitates the straw hats and take girls, and takes the notebook. Just as Foxy is about to have them all fall down into the ocean, Franky and Brook show up, and Luffy asks them to beat Foxy up, to which they do, causing a panic on the island in the process. As Luffy and the others make back up, Foxy tries and fails to use his new trick against them, and Luffy sends him and his crewmates flying with a Gum Gum Bazooka.
As the situation dies down, the sister's explain that the notebook contain's their father's notes for creating a gem, and that the last clue to making it was somewhere on Spa Island. Overhearing the conversation, the owner of the island, Doran takes Sayo hostage, revealing that he was scheming to take the treasure for himself, having been the one that employed the Foxy Pirates and set them loose on the sisters. Doran then tells the crew to find the treasure if they want the girl back. The group panic over what to do until Luffy makes the suggestion of simply destroying the island much to Doran's panic.[71]
As the whole crew, including Zoro, begin destroying the island, an angry Doran decides to stops the bunch by showing them Sayo tied to a stake and a gigantic cannon aimed at her. To show he was serious, he fires a warning shot that barely misses Sayo. Doran then demands the notebook for Sayo's life. Lina tempted to do it was stopped by Sayo, telling her not to give up on their father or his goal, and managed to convince Lina to refuse giving up the notebook. The Straw Hats then proceed to stop Doran and rescue Sayo. Luffy, with Lina and Nukky holding onto him, jumps into the air, uses Gear 3, and preform his Gum Gum Giant Axe, splitting the island in half and sinking it, which annoyed the crew since they weren’t out of harms way yet. After doing this, Luffy shrinks and he, Lina, and Nukky land in the ocean. As they are being rescued by Sanji, Lina sees an x-shaped crack in the ocean floor below the island. After telling the crew this, they all realized that the clue was under the island the whole time. The heat from the lava soon makes steam form around the group and the reflection from the sun causes a circular rainbow effect. The sisters then realize that the steam is the final clue to make the gem.
A few days later, the Straw Hats' continue their journey when Nukky flies in and delivers a letter to the crew from his owners. Sayo and Lina succeeded in making the rainbow gem and are living happily with their father who returned, alive and well, just in time to see the creation of the gem. They even sent the gem to the Straw Hats as a thank you, and while the crew gather around to look at the gem, it starts to rain candy out of nowhere, and the candy knocks the gem out of Luffy's hand, causing Nami to panic and demand that everyone search for it on the deck.[72]

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 strikes a Toramata Tiger.
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.
Sanji battles Shiki.
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.
Sanji and the rest of the Straw Hats fight to rescue Nami.
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 battles Scarlet.
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.[73]

Fish-Man Island Saga[]
Episode of Nami[]
With Nami having stolen the Going Merry and headed back to Arlong Park. Zoro, Usopp and Johnny had already went after her earlier, and Luffy, Sanji, and Yosaku follow suit. In the meantime, it is revealed that Nami is a member of the Arlong Pirates as she reports back to Arlong, who soon celebrates her return with a rowdy party. Luffy, Sanji, and Yosaku eventually crash recklessly on the island and run into Zoro (literally). Johnny runs up to them shortly afterwards and tells of Nami's betrayal; Luffy doesn't believe him and angrily threatens to beat him up. Nami arrives, however, and tells Luffy coldly to leave the island; her words don't register with him, and he simply lays down to take a nap, claiming he refuses to listen to her. She runs away infuriated at his stubbornness, and when the crew refuse to budge, Johnny and Yosaku leave, wary of the situation.
Usopp then shows up at Luffy and the crew's location, alive, and tells them how Nami actually saved his life. Initially puzzled by her behavior, the crew then realizes that there must be some deeper motive and goal than just money going on in Nami's head, and just then, Nami's sister Nojiko comes up to them. Wishing to make them understand why they have to leave, she solemnly offers to tell her and Nami's backstory; Luffy opts not to listen and goes on a walk, and the rest of them stay behind to listen (although Zoro almost immediately falls asleep). Johnny and Yosaku also listen, hiding in the bushes.
After listening to the story, the others meet up with Luffy after Nami finally asks him for help. Angry and pumped up, the crew head to Arlong Park. Upon arrival, Luffy slips past the Fish-Men thugs and decks Arlong, who goes flying into the wall. Luffy then dispatches all of the "small fry" using Gomu Gomu no Pinwheel, although he gets himself stuck in the cement using the technique. Arlong then attempts to throw Luffy in the water, although he is stopped by Sanji, who frees Luffy by kicking the cement. Unfortunately, Kuroobi punches Sanji into the water and then dives in after him. Sanji struggles underwater with Kuroobi, although he eventually manages to draw Kuroobi out of the water; once on dry land, Kuroobi proves no match for Sanji, who quickly defeats him with a brutal barrage of kicks.
As Arlong's crew is taken down one by one, Arlong becomes enraged at their defeat, and he and Luffy viciously trade blows, eventually ending up Nami's cartography room. Luffy notices Nami's blood-stained pen while Arlong talks on his intent to use Nami; both of which get Luffy very, very angry. Luffy then begins to destroy the room while Nami watches from below. Arlong attempts to stop him by biting him. But then, Luffy uses a single Gomu Gomu no Axe to defeat Arlong and completely destroys Arlong Park in the process, and he emerges from the rubble and screams to Nami that they are friends. The village celebrates Arlong's defeat, and the crew promptly beats up Nezumi and the Marines (which contributed to Luffy's first bounty).
Everybody celebrates at a village wide festival, and later that day, Genzo makes Luffy promise to always keep Nami happy, which he complies with. Nami then gets her Arlong tattoo replaced with her own symbol, and the crew sets sail from Cocoyasi Village, to which an older Nami finishes reminiscing about her past two years ago, as everyone is on the coated Thousand Sunny at the Sabaody Archipelago, as she and the crew, Sanji included, prepare to sail to Fish-Man Island.[74]

Dressrosa Saga[]
Episode of Luffy[]
During some spare time on the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats have a mock introductory show with Usopp hosting. Once Luffy's turn was done, they are interrupted by an attack from several Marine battleships. During the battle, the Straw Hats are forced to make an emergency Coup de Burst in order to escape a sudden attack from above, in the form of an immensely large cannonball. Crash landing on a nearby island, they decide to explore while Franky repairs and moves the ship. While Franky works on a way to move the ship back into the water, the rest of the Straw Hats explore the local town to re-supply what was broken or lost in the landing. However they all notice that the town is in short supply of everything and that only women, children or the elderly run the shops. Eventually Brook, Robin and Nami discover the site of a past cannon attack located directly opposite the Marine base.
Later, Luffy comes across what appears to be a fruit stall on the outskirts of the town. Trying to eat several pieces, he quickly discovers that they are actually fake fruits made of wax. From behind, an old man approaches and quickly bursts into laughter over Luffy's mistake, then introduces himself as Diego, the man who had sculpted the fruits. Going inside, Diego is suddenly left dumbstruck as the entirety of his home had been blown away except the front wall and, upon looking over the hill discovers that it was the Thousand Sunny which had caused the damage in its crash landing. Apologizing for the destruction they had caused, Luffy is then led underground where he discovers the pride of Diego's collection, a multitude of life-like wax sculptures of famous pirates.
Luffy recognizes many of the sculptures in the collection room, but after seeing Shanks' sculpture, he is reminded of his childhood and the days when Shanks and his crew had visited Foosha Village, which culminated with his consumption of the Gomu Gomu no Mi and a near lethal encounter with the mountain bandit Higuma where Shanks had sacrificed his arm to save Luffy, earning the boy's eternal respect and admiration. Later, Usopp and Chopper discover the underground section and marvel at the wax figures, leading Diego to show them how his particular wax was created. Noting a poorly crafted figure of Whitebeard on a nearby shelf, Diego mentions that the wax itself is of a much higher quality then the one he can create and demonstrates this by easily destroying his own wax by knocking the sculpture against it though notes that it is weak against fire. Asking who had created it, Diego admits that the man was no longer around and had left him to join the Marines, which was his son, Regis.
Diego then explains the island's situation. Hand Island is an island of artisans that was once under the protection of Whitebeard. However, after he died in the Summit War of Marineford, rival pirates quickly set their sights on his territory. Marines quickly stepped in and built a base nearby which restored peace. Eventually, during mid-construction, Commodore Bilić was put in command. He called for a meeting of the townspeople and asked that they help build a cannon to help ward off pirate attacks which the people happily agreed to. Among them was Regis, who had joined the Marines to help the island, much to the dismay of Diego, who had hoped he would follow in his footsteps. However, once the cannon was completed, Bilic fired on the town as "practice", destroying several buildings and killing a few innocents as well. It soon became obvious that he just wanted the cannon for his own ends and used the families of the builders as his own hostages lest he fire the cannon on the rest of the town.
After telling this tale, Diego starts to head off to the Marine base to give Regis the Whitebeard figurine. But Luffy offers to go instead. Luffy later regroups with the entire crew and tells them his intention. After hearing this the others draw lots to see who'll go with him with Sanji and Usopp chosen. The next day the three head for the Marine base on the Mini Merry. Once they reach the base, the marines open fire once they notice Luffy forcing Sanji and him to invade the base which quickly leads into a chase. Eventually, the two find Regis and give him the figurine but Luffy is captured in a seastone cage once he steps on the platform where Regis's cell is. The wheel turns towards the water submerging the two. Sanji manages to jump in and free the pair and they escape into ocean via a sewer fan where they regroup with Usopp. The four rest on a reef where Regis explains he made the doll when he was six. When he went to join the Marines, Diego tried to at least have him take the figurine with him but he declined. Regis feels that he disappointed his father for not following the path he wanted. But after seeing the figure and being told that Diego always treasured it, he realizes that his father still believes in him. Likewise Diego, after being told why Regis was thrown in jail, is happy of his conviction to protect the island.
After hearing this, the four then notice that Bilic has started firing on the town, thinking the villagers are hiding the Straw Hats and demands they turn them over or he will destroy the town. Luffy's group head back to the base and make their way inside with Usopp and Sanji distracting the Marines while Luffy and Regis sneak in. Bilic, thinking the townspeople sent the Straw Hats after him, fires another cannon at the town but it's sliced in half by Zoro. As Zoro continues to defend the town from Bilic's cannon, Luffy and Regis make their way into the base and gather as much wax as they can. The Straw Hats fight against the Marines while Regis makes his way up to the cannon's barrel and activates the wax, causing it to backfire and destroy itself. Bilic emerges from the rubble of the cannon, obviously angered. He burns Regis's Whitebeard figure to mock Luffy as well as him then reveals he has a mobile cannon as a back up. Luffy faces off against him, but suffers trouble due to the cannon's speed, the constant bombardment Bilic fires into his rubber body and the spinning tops fitted with blades sent after him. His crew (along with some help from Koby) help take out the tops and Luffy finally manages to beat Bilic by getting in close enough to grab his snake puppet and pummel him with an Elephant Gatling, destroying his cannon in the process.
Kizaru suddenly shows up much to the shock of everyone. The Marines believe he was the one who stopped Bilic and cheer for him as the Straw Hats make a hasty exit. However it turns out the Kizaru is really another wax sculpture created by Diego who made it on the request of Koby. Using the charade (as well as Diego throwing his voice to imitate the Admiral), Koby places Bilic under arrest and states he is likely to be court martialed while declaring that it was never the Marines' intention to enslave the island. He orders the Marines to help rebuild the island while Diego and Regis reconcile. Koby watches the Straw Hats go, promising he'll catch up to Luffy soon to which Luffy, seemingly hearing this, laughs in agreement. However as the crew flees, they realize they accidentally left Zoro on Hand Island.[75]

Glorious Island[]
As the crew leisurely mess around on the Thousand Sunny, Luffy, Nami and Brook are seen relaxing in the inflatable pool outside the Sunny, and Nami enjoying her swim reminds Brook that he can't swim and that he should be careful, with Brook stating that he being in the pool is a nice feeling for his bones. As Brook is admiring Nami's swimsuit, an angry Sanji shows up and asks Brook what he thinks he's looking at, before he begins staring at her as well, with Usopp disappointed in both them behaving like this.
As Luffy enjoys the pool, he soon notices the presence of a Sea Monster with the appearance of a horse towering the Sunny. As everyone notices the monster, they start to panic, as Sanji simply tells Luffy to get the sea monster so he can turn it into dinner. After Luffy defeats the monster, he accidentally knocks his away, forcing everyone to chase after it with the Sunny. As the chase begins, they eventually reach where the monster landed, with Luffy excited to eat it. As Zoro reminds Sanji not to forget the booze as well, Sanji comments on how that's all he thinks about, leading to the two of them arguing. Franky gets involved and tries to calm Zoro down, which only makes him annoyed at Franky, until Franky suggests that they should have a party. As Franky starts to talk about having a cherry blossom party, everyone is confused but interested.
Later, while Nami is sunbathing on the deck, Chopper offers her some of his milk, but Nami states that she would prefer orange juice instead, with Sanji overhearing and happily preparing to make her some, to Usopp's confusion. When Sanji asks Usopp what he's doing, he states that there are some pests in the garden, and that he's making pesticide to deal with them, with Sanji then telling him to do that outside of the kitchen. Robin then comes into the kitchen asking Usopp if he knew where the sprinklers where located. Usopp states that it's located in his Usopp Factory and that he just got done modifying it. As Usopp hands Robin the modified Sprinkler, he states that he made it Zombie themed, with Robin saying thanks and stating that it was beautiful, with Sanji asking Robin what was so beautiful about it.
Later, Franky explains to the other guys that their party should be a buffet. With everyone originally against the idea, Franky goes on to list the different number of foods that they can have thanks to the sea monster meat, which gets the others dreaming and imagining the food as well. With everyone imagining their own island of food, Sanji shows up telling everyone that the real meat is ready. As he hands out the food, he also throws a barrel of booze towards Zoro, telling him that everyone is equal when it comes to food and drink, with Zoro stating that he's not complaining. As the cherry blossoms start to rain down and the party starts, Sanji is in the kitchen finishing to prepare Nami's orange juice as Franky makes cherry blossoms rain down across the Sunny.[76]
One Piece Film: Z[]
Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates are having a cherry blossom party. Luffy is goofing off, stuffing himself with meat while Brook is singing. Chopper becomes distressed when inhaling poison drifting in the air, while Brook is inspired to write a song about it. The smell is shown coming from Usopp spraying poison over his Pop Greens, as Robin happily waters some of the plants. Usopp reassures Luffy that the poison is merely meant for killing worms with Zoro showing a liking to the tainted flavor of his alcohol.
Volcanic ash suddenly begins to rain from the sky much to their confusion. Nami studies her Log Pose and finds the needle spinning where the volcano had erupted from. She realizes that the needle must be spinning around because the volcano must have destroyed the island and the needle no longer has a magnetic field to lock on. Franky says it is impossible, but she points out that they are in the New World, anything is possible. Usopp whispers to her that they have to hide this from Luffy and choose a safer route. Despite it, Luffy notices the spinning needle, deciding to head in that direction. Usopp whines, but Nami tells him to trust in her navigational skills. He warns her that the paths they choose could cost them their lives, but she tells him the matter is out of their hands now.
As Usopp continues to whine, Luffy spots the battered body of Z clinging to life on a piece of driftwood out at sea, and attempts to rescue him. When he grabs ahold of his mechanical arm, he becomes weak and Sanji and Usopp having to help pull Z aboard. Chopper examines Z, but finds that he should be fine. Nami shows signs of suspicion, worrying that they picked up someone problematic. Robin notices his arm is built out of Seastone, the reason why Luffy became weak when he touched him. Sanji reminds them all that Seastone is used against Devil Fruit users with him and Zoro debating whether to throw him overboard. Chopper defends him, with Luffy ordering him to save his life and that he would deal with him if he was an enemy.
Z awakens later in Chopper's infirmary, with Zoro and Sanji standing guard outside. He thanks Chopper for his care, calling him a great medic and meets Luffy who remained in the room during Z's treatment. Z immediately tags him as the ship's captain. Luffy asks him what he plans to do next, as Z tells him he is carrying a Vivre Card and his comrades should find him soon. Luffy begins asking questions about Z, his arm, and what he is doing. Things seem to go fine at first. At least until Luffy reveals he is a pirate.
Z instantly attacks and throws Luffy through the wall. He asks Luffy why he is a pirate to which Luffy proudly responds he will be the Pirate King. This comment infuriates Z, as he madly swings his Battle Smasher around. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji all begin fighting him with Z able to hold them all off with relative ease. Ain and Binz then arrive with a fleet of ships and board the Sunny, announcing they will be confiscating it. Franky attacks, with Binz summoning vines that are able to subdue him. Robin tries attacking, but he proves too quick for her to grab him with her arms.
Z overpowers the Monster Trio and throws them out into the deck of the ship. He grabs Luffy with his Battle Smasher, sapping away his powers and chastises Luffy's dream, telling him he will never be Pirate King with his strength. Curiosity piqued, he asks Luffy his name. When he tells him, Z connects him as Garp's grandson before throwing him onto the deck with the other Straw Hats.
He announces to the Straw Hats he will destroy all pirates and orders the Neo Marines to attack the Sunny, bombarding her with cannons. While Luffy wishes to continues his battle with Z, the pleas of his crewmates force him to retreat. He frees Franky from his bonds who quickly heads for the steering and he uses a Coup de Burst to escape much to the surprise of the Neo Marines.
Luffy and the Straw Hats are recovering on a nearby island, where Franky goes to work on fixing the Sunny. He tells Luffy to go after Z while he repairs the damage done. Chopper regrets saving Z's life, but Sanji tells him a pirate should live without regrets of what he believes in. Nami tells him that they must track them down, or else she will never get her original body back. She would not be as helpful a Navigator to them without her full grown body. Nami proposes gathering intel on their enemy as the first place to start.
Mobston, an old man approaches them and asks if they had a run in with Z. He tells them many pirate ships that have come to the island have been attacked by him. He tells that many who had been attacked by him, lost their will to continue and left the New World. He is pleasantly surprised Luffy still wishes to fight him, after losing so badly to him and offers up his finest equipment to use in their quest. Nami tells the crew to not arouse suspicion, they need a new change of clothes first. They are told their best place to start is to take the Sea Train to Secon Island.
As they head to their next destination, they split up their search. Luffy, Brook, Sanji, and Zoro, all relax in a local hot spring to rest, recover, and prepare for the upcoming fight. Sanji comments Devil Fruit users are a pain, seeing Luffy and Brook become quite weak. Sanji tells Luffy to keep a low profile since the island is crawling with Marine soldiers.
As Luffy and the others relax in the hot springs, Luffy vows to not let his guard down around Z again. Sanji tells him as long as he is a Devil Fruit user and lets himself get caught by his arm he will lose, offering to let him and Zoro to fight him instead. Luffy turns him down, knowing to avoid his arm for their next fight. However, a familiar voice calls out to them, claiming he was getting tired waiting for them. The group finds it belongs to Kuzan who is resting in a nearby bath. The group instantly go on guard. Save for Brook who does not recognize him, but panics when they fill him in that he is an Admiral.
Kuzan with the Straw Hats.
Kuzan reassures them he is not there to capture them, and had given up being an Admiral. Brook asks what he is then, with Kuzan finding being questioned bothersome. He thinks on the question, and is unable to think of a proper answer confusing them further. However, he tells them again he is not their enemy anymore and reminds them if he was he would not be in a hot spring where he cannot use his powers. As Kuzan gets out of the water, the Straw Hats see his battle scarred body, and his missing leg that he regrows with his ice powers. Noticing their shocked expressions, he merely notes he "got into a bit of mischief".
Kuzan and the Straw Hats talk some more, with Luffy asking him what happened to his leg. Kuzan takes offense and tells him there are some things that should not be asked. Luffy tries to change the subject and asks about Akainu on why the two of them fought, believing they were friends. Kuzan refuses to comment on that. He does go on say that he wishes his only reason for coming was to enjoy the hot springs, but is chasing Z. He guessed that they had gone against him, remarking how strong he is.
Kuzan warning the Straw Hats about Z.
Kuzan and Luffy's group soon leave the spa as he talks about the great age of pirates. He ponders to himself if pirates are made from the One Piece existing, or if the One Piece exists because of the pirates. Telling them how when some follow their dreams, it can lead to pain and sadness of others. He tells them that Z plans to destroy piracy by destroying the One Piece. He has chosen to follow Z's journey, but is unsure what actions he himself must take. He then departs, telling Luffy he will find Z on the island.
Luffy thinks back to his encounter of Z pondering over him, until the rest of the Straw Hats catch up with them with a group of Marines chasing them. Luffy dispatches them all with his Haoshoku Haki. Reluctantly, the Marine Captain tells him the location of Z. The Dyna Stones on the island explode, causing the volcano to erupt. Z informs his men the destruction the Second Point has been a success and they need only destroy one more island.
With Z in front of them once more, Luffy charges forth and attacks with his Gomu Gomu no Rifle technique. Z blocks it, showing mild surprise to see Luffy. Luffy demands Z change his friends back to normal, as Ain and Binz attack. Sanji and Zoro intercept them, fiercely battling them both. Z tells Luffy if he wants something, he has to take it like a pirate. Luffy and Z both strike, the shock setting off the volcano to explode forth with magma. Kuzan saves the lives of some civilians by knocking away a volcanic rock and tells them to get to the Sea Train. Kuzan looks on at the devastation, wondering if Z has finally lost his mind.
As Luffy and Z's fight grows more intense, Z mocking Luffy telling him if he keeps being afraid of his Battle Smasher, he'll never land any hits on him. He strikes the ground, sending Luffy flying away. He catches up and fires more bullets at Luffy that he deflects back at him. Luffy tells him his bullets will never harm him, until Z pulls out a small pistol and fires a bullet into his shoulder made from Seastone. Mocking Luffy further, he tells him the strongest people in the New World would have never have let themselves be hit with it and he relies too much on is Devil Fruit power. He takes Luffy's hat, promising to bury it himself once he has finished destroying the age of pirates.
Luffy tries to grab it from him, telling Z the hat was given to him by Shanks. He grabs Luffy in his powerful grips and tells him Shanks, along with the rest of the Four Emperors will all die before they know what is happening. Luffy is enraged, screaming at him to not mock Shanks as Z blasts Luffy away. Zoro and the others find Luffy, and help carry him to safety as the deadly ash cloud rolls down the mountain. Usopp uses one of his Pop Greens to make a banana shaped boat they ride against the wind with. They are unable to escape and just as their deaths seemed imminent, Kuzan encases the magma and ash in a gigantic layer of ice giving them time to escape. Luffy and the Straw Hats board the sea train and flee, just before the island blows.
The Straw Hats return to Dock Island, as Luffy is patched up and has the Seastone bullet removed. Kuzan appears before the crew again, telling Luffy to stop moping. Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Robin are shown terrified, but Luffy assures them it is alright. Kuzan explains Z's plan to the crew of destroying the three Endpoints with the Dyna Stones to release the Grande Imbuto, a fissure line underneath the Grand Line. If Z destroys the last one, this will allow the magma flow to be release and flood the sea with fire. Though doing so will not only kill pirates, but innocents as well.
Now that two of the Endpoints have been destroyed, Z is about to go to the last one, Piriodo, and unless the Straw Hats stop him, the Pirate Era will end. The Endpoints had been considered a legend, with most thinking it was nonsense. The government covered up the truth about them, to dissuade pirates from using it. That only the World Government and highest ranking officers of the Marines know about it. He laments that it is an Admiral abusing this knowledge above all else. He reminds them that he is not doing this out of power, but to punish pirates.
Luffy and the Straw Hats head out to battle.
Luffy remains undeterred despite being defeated twice by Z, vowing to chase him down and get his hat back. If he lets Z keep his hat, he could never face Shanks or be worthy of the Pirate King title. Kuzan then gives the crew an Eternal Pose leading to Piriodo. If they lose to Z, they will be destroyed along with the New World. Or, if they win they will be attacked by the Marines. With that said he leaves them to their own fates. Franky then reminds the crew about the equipment they were promised earlier, showing a large stash of armor and weapons Mobston had saved up from the previous crews that suffered from Z's wrath. hey suit up in their new gear and head out. As they are leaving, Gari approaches Luffy telling him he wants to grow up to be a hero but cant decide whether he wants to be an Admiral or a pirate. Sanji flatly states pirates are not heroes. But Luffy chimes in saying if both feel the same, then it is okay and just do whatever he pleases. Gari watches the Straw Hat Pirates leave, filled with admiration for them.
The Straw Hats intercept a blockade of Neo Marine warships guarding Piriodo. They blast through their defenses with the Gaon Cannon before landing on the beaches with an army waiting for them. The Straw Hats begin fighting, using their new weapons to help. Sanji is shown fighting with Binz once again, as he tells him how tired he is of listening to him talk about his master, wondering if the Ain and he are merely kids. As they are fighting, Sanji breaks through Binz vines landing hard kicks to his body.
Binz gets defeated by Sanji.
Sanji and Binz are battling it out in the air, with Sanji maneuvering around his vines keeping to the air with his Sky Walk. Binz throws his large shuriken stars that Sanji kicks aside with his Diable Jambe footwork. His anger against attacking Nami fuels him during his match, landing multiple kicks to Binz who struggles to keep up. Sanji bursts into a ball of flames, using his new Sexy Fire move to finish him off. His powerful kick sends Binz crashing down below, as Sanji takes a moment to light a cigarette. After Ain's defeat by Zoro, her effects begin to wear off. Nami grows back to her adult size, with the armor she is sporting now barely fitting her body. Chopper reverts back growing slightly, along with Robin and Brook (though it does not seem to show any signs of change on him). The group head on to catch up with Luffy.
The Straw Hats catch up to the battle, seeing Luffy had fought hard against Z and had managed to leave an imprint of his fist inside Z's giant metal fist. Z asks him why he wants to fight him so much. That even if he defeats him, nobody will thank him for his efforts for the stigma of being a pirate. Luffy responds if he cannot defeat him, he will never be able to become the Pirate King. The Battle Smasher breaks then and there and falls from Z's arm, revealing a smaller mechanical arm he can still use. Z tells Luffy he is going to dedicate his life to ending his ambition, challenging him for a final bout.
Z and Luffy activate their Armament Haki, their arms turning a hardened black. The two engage in a brutal fist fight, both striking each other with imbued Haki. Kuzan is seen watching their match from a distance, stating "Black Arm" Zephyr has returned. Z and Luffy both give each other hard punches to the chest and stomach, giving Luffy a moment to recoil and puke. Luffy strikes back a punch that knocks Z's glasses right off.
A brief flashback is seen in his mind of his early childhood, rattling his early memories. Z becomes elated, that he is being given such a good fight. Both Luffy and him are worn out, still pushing each other with punches back and forth. He corners Luffy and begins pounding on him, with Luffy showing little sign he can defend himself anymore. As Z begins to gain the upper hand, Luffy pushes him back with a kick.
Fighting on their last reserves, Luffy shouts he is going to be the Pirate King with Z shouting his name in absolute confidence. After exchanging a few more blows to one another, Luffy finally collapses from exhaustion. Z falls to the ground after, unable to fight anymore too. Z bitterly says he's gotten old, and his body cannot keep up with him anymore. He finds it disappointing, telling Luffy he was enjoying fighting him.
As the battle ends, the Straw Hats rush over to Luffy's aid, with Ain and Binz doing the same for Z. Z tells Luffy to finish him, but Luffy merely tells him he is already satisfied as he regains his straw hat, giving him a smile. He offers to continue fighting him, if he wants but Z turns him down, also being satisfied.
Kizaru then arrives with his army, telling them he is going to kill them all. Z says he's done everything he's wanted to do, and now will face the price for it as he marches towards the Marine army. He dismisses Luffy, and tells him to leave the rest to him. Ain tries to rush to his side, but Kuzan summons a giant wall of ice dividing everyone from him. Luffy silently looks on, honoring his sacrifice.
The Straw Hats depart the island, watching the battle unfold in grim silence as Z gives up his life to save them. During the credits, it is revealed that after Z's defeat, the Straw Hats returned to Dock Island one last time, to return the gear and weapons Mobston had given them. They bid them farewell, and Gari decided to become a pirate, wearing Luffy's borrowed attired.[77]

Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura[]
While sailing the ocean, Nami notices a storm coming in, and alerts the rest of the crew, allowing them to quickly take action and launch the Thousand Sunny away with a Coup De Burst. Almost immediately afterward, Nami collapses from a high fever, and as none of the crew know enough about medicine, they decide to find a doctor to save her, leading them to sail to Drum Island.
Upon arrival, the residents give them a cold reception, as they demand that the crew leave because they are pirates. Luffy begs them to save Nami, and they allow the crew to take her to the shore, with Luffy, Sanji, Robin and Usopp taking Nami ashore while Franky and Zoro stay behind, but they soon learn about the the island's king, Wapol and how he took all of the doctors on the island away with him during a pirate invasion. They also learn that there is only one doctor left on the island, Dr.Kureha, and that she lives on a mountain.
As Luffy and the others climb up the mountain with Nami, Luffy and Sanji get attacked by some Lapahns, and they are unable to fight back, fearing that the shock of any blows given or received will kill Nami. An avalanche buries the mountain in snow, and Sanji kicks Luffy out of the way to save him and Nami, being buried in the process. After he does this, Luffy continues climbing the mountain, barely able to keep himself alive in the extreme cold. Just before losing consciousness, he reaches the top of the mountain, where Chopper saves him and brings him, Sanji and Nami in for treatment, curing Nami of her disease.
As Luffy and the others are being treated at Drum Castle, they learn more about Chopper's past, and about Dr. Hiriluk, and thank Chopper and Kureha for saving them and Nami. Unfortunately, they soon come under attack from Wapol and his men, who have come to take back the island. While Chopper and Sanji fight off Wapol's men, Wapol attempts to shoot down Hiriluk's flag with his Baku Baku no Mi powers. As he does this, Luffy gets to the top of the castle and protects the flag, but soon ends up in a fight with Wapol's brother, Musshuru. Musshuru initially has the advantage in speed and easily defeats Luffy with his Noko Noko no Mi powers, poisoning him with his spores. Chopper tries to fight back, but he is defeated, too. Before Musshuru can give the final blow he stopped by the arrival of the rest of the Straw Hats, who stop him and manage to give Luffy an antidote to the poison.
As he finishes recovering, Luffy then uses Gear Second allowing him to keep up with Musshuru and ultimately dominates Musshuru in battle. Wapol escapes into the castle and eats Musshuru, fusing with him and the Bliking Cannon, in an attempt to gain his power and combine it with his own to make a poison bomb to annihilate everyone in Drum so he can replace them with his soldiers. As he tries to fire the bomb, Chopper uses Arm Point and manages to launch Wapol into the roof. Despite managing to fire the bomb, it is destroyed by the Straw Hats before it can explode, then Luffy manages to defeat him and send him flying with Gear Third's Gum Gum Gigant Pistol. Some of Musshuru's poisonous spores drift down, but Franky incinerates them before they can do any damage.
After the battle, Luffy asks Chopper to join his crew, and despite initially not trusting humans before, Chopper decides to go with Luffy. Chopper tells Kureha, who berates him, claiming that he is not ready to leave home, and chases him out of the castle. As he leaves with the Straw Hats off the mountain, Kureha then orders the Drum guards to fire off Hiriluk's Sakura mixture, which mixes with the snow, resulting in a pink snowfall and causing the mountain on which the castle stands to resemble a Sakura tree. As Chopper sees this, he realizes that Hiriluk's dream has been accomplished, and starts to cry. With the Cherry Blossoms in the distance, the Straw Hats sail away from Drum Island, with Chopper now a member, as they go toward their next adventure.[78]
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.[79]
Whole Cake Island Saga[]
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.[80]
One Piece Film: Gold Episode 0[]
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.[81]
One Piece Film: Gold[]
The Straw Hats arrive at Gran Tesoro.
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 disguised as World Nobles.
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.[82]
Wano Country Saga[]
Cidre Guild Arc[]
Out at sea, the Straw Hats were under attack by a group of bounty hunters known as the Cidre Guild and their guns that shot powerful blasts of carbonated water. They managed to escape by blasting off with Coup de Burst, but upon stopping at an island afterward they found that the Sunny's cola supply had run out. Luffy volunteered to go to the island to buy some cola, and found that it was dotted with pools of carbonated water. A ramune saleswoman named Caramel told Luffy that he could get cola from the factory, but warned him that it was controlled by the Cidre Guild. Luffy raced toward the factory, but was confronted by a Cidre Guild platoon led by Ginger. Ginger overwhelmed Luffy with a powerful carbonation blast, causing him to fall into a sinkhole and get swept away by an underground river.
The river took Luffy to a pool where Boa Hancock was bathing, and the two reunited and started a battle against Cidre himself. Meanwhile, the other Straw Hats were fighting the rest of the Cidre Guild on the coast, but the fight soon ended as the Guild members revealed they had been enslaved by Cidre and so had no loyalty to him.[83]
As the crew dealt with the enslaved, Luffy continued his battle with Cidre. After a brief clash, Luffy eventually overpowers Cidre and defeats him. He then sees an invitation to the Pirates Festival land on the ground and Luffy picks it up.
The liberated Cidre Guild slaves gave the Straw Hats barrels of cola in repayment for their freedom. Luffy reveals to Hancock that he received an invitation to the Pirates Festival, and bids her a temporary farewell. As the Straw Hats sail back out to sea, Luffy reveals the invitation to his crew, and to their shock, Robin reads that this year's Expo will include a hunt for Gol D. Roger's treasure. Luffy is excited to go there, and the crew sets sail to Delta Island where the Expo will be taking place, along with the other crews of the Worst Generation.[84]

Uta's Past Arc[]
The Straw Hat's spent a lazy day out at sea on the Sunny, while listening to a Tone Dial playing Uta's new song, New Genesis.[85] Later, after everyone on the crew showed interest in the singer, the crew begged Luffy to attend Uta's concert, and the captain agreed, and the Sunny set course to Elegia.[86]
One Piece Film: Red[]
Uta organized a concert on Elegia in order to realize her dream of performing for the whole world. Sanji was present during the concert.[87]
