00:00:00¿How do you take a story that millions of people already know by heart

00:00:03and make them feel like they're experiencing it for the first time?

00:00:07That's not a simple question.

00:00:09Because when you adapt something as beloved as One Piece,

00:00:12you're not just telling a story.

00:00:13You're making a promise.

00:00:15A promise to every person who grew up with these characters,

00:00:18who cried at these moments,

00:00:19who carried this world with them through different chapters of their own life,

00:00:22and Season 2 of the live-action.

00:00:24It doesn't just attempt to keep that promise.

00:00:27It reaches for something deeper.

00:00:30What fascinates me most isn't the spectacle.

00:00:32It's the weight.

00:00:33The way certain scenes land differently

00:00:35when you're watching real human faces carry emotions that used to live in ink and color.

00:00:40There's something almost strange about it.

00:00:42Something that forces you to ask,

00:00:43what does this story actually mean?

00:00:46Not what happens.

00:00:47But what it means.

00:00:48And that's what we're here to explore today.

00:00:51My name is Mipax, and before we dive in,

00:00:53I have to take a second for the people who make this channel worth showing up for.

00:00:57To my YouTube members,

00:00:59Zachary Brewer,

00:01:00Yumnam Renubala,

00:01:01Teth X-Chick,

00:01:03Petch the Nepen-Sone-Vai,

00:01:05and Antonia Sadio-Siana,

00:01:06thank you.

00:01:07Genuinely.

00:01:08And to my Patreon supporter,

00:01:11Biashiznar4,

00:01:12your support keeps this going more than you know.

00:01:14If you haven't seen my Season 1 live-action breakdown yet,

00:01:17that link is sitting in the description.

00:01:19Go watch that first.

00:01:20It sets the foundation for everything we're about to get into.

00:01:23But if you're ready,

00:01:24today we're covering the complete story of One Piece live-action Season 2.

00:01:28The story kicks off right where we left those two losers

00:01:30who got absolutely wrecked by Nami and Luffy

00:01:32while trying to steal a Grand Line map in Season 1.

00:01:35Meanwhile,

00:01:36furry pirates from the notorious Baroque Works organization

00:01:39are currently laying waste to the marine base in Shell's town,

00:01:43leaving everything in total shambles.

00:01:45The remaining soldiers are frantically running for cover to escape their wrath.

00:01:49But then one of the pirates makes an entrance.

00:01:51A woman named Sunday,

00:01:53accompanied by her flowers.

00:01:54But these aren't just any flowers, my friend.

00:01:57They allow her to sprout hands wherever she pleases.

00:01:59She walks toward them with absolute confidence,

00:02:02completely unfazed by anyone trying to attack her.

00:02:04Anyone who gets close enough finds her hands sprouting on them,

00:02:07taking them down before she even touches them.

00:02:10She walks up to the last surviving soldier and coldly asks,

00:02:13Where do you keep the dead?

00:02:15This is because they are looking for a member of their crew specifically,

00:02:18Mr. Seven from the Baroque Works organization.

00:02:21Just a quick reminder for you.

00:02:22Zorro actually killed Mr. Seven back in the first part

00:02:25because he tried to recruit Zorro into their organization.

00:02:28Zorro flatly refused and took him out instead.

00:02:30So, the big question is,

00:02:32what are they going to do to Zorro now?

00:02:34Can he hold his own against them,

00:02:36or is he in trouble?

00:02:37We're about to find all that out as we continue.

00:02:40They eventually squeeze the info out of the last marine

00:02:42as Zorro is headed for the Grand Line with his captain, Luffy.

00:02:44Life on Luffy's ship is as eccentric as you'd expect.

00:02:48Sanji is busy whipping up meals,

00:02:50while Usopp is busy wasting all the spices

00:02:52to make his ridiculous bombs.

00:02:54Meanwhile, Nami is locked in, focusing entirely.

00:02:57She's studying the Grand Line map

00:02:58to figure out the path to the One Piece treasure.

00:03:01Sanji suggests they should do some shopping

00:03:03before entering a dangerous Grand Line,

00:03:05especially since Luffy has a bottomless pit for his stomach

00:03:07and they need extra food.

00:03:09Usopp hates the idea and complains to Zorro,

00:03:12asking if he's really okay with this childish shopping trip.

00:03:15Zorro actually agrees with Sanji,

00:03:17saying he needs two more swords

00:03:18since he's currently down to only one.

00:03:20Usopp gives up on Zorro

00:03:22and decides to talk to the captain instead.

00:03:24He tells Luffy they want to head to Logetown,

00:03:26a place known for being incredibly dangerous,

00:03:29just to go shopping.

00:03:31Luffy initially refuses

00:03:32because he just wants to hit the Grand Line.

00:03:34He's eager to find the One Piece,

00:03:36but Nami mentions that the legendary pirate king,

00:03:38Gold Roger, was actually executed in Logetown.

00:03:41Suddenly, Luffy is hyped to see the very spot

00:03:44where the king met his end.

00:03:45He immediately orders the crew to head there.

00:03:48Flashback to the past,

00:03:49right when Roger was about to face the scaffold.

00:03:51The crowd gathered there was massive,

00:03:53swarming like a colony of ants.

00:03:55Inside the prison cell,

00:03:56Vice Admiral Garp paid a final visit to his old rival.

00:03:59These two legendary figures

00:04:01had spent countless years

00:04:02playing a tiring game of cat and mouse across the oceans.

00:04:05This time, Garp came to deliver the news

00:04:07regarding the official end of the pirate king's era.

00:04:10Even with death looming over him,

00:04:12Roger managed to ask Garp for one final favor,

00:04:15to raise his infant son.

00:04:17He insisted that the child shouldn't be held responsible

00:04:20or bear any guilt

00:04:21just because his father happened to be the king of the pirates.

00:04:24He knew deep down

00:04:25that Garp was fundamentally a good man.

00:04:27After hearing the request,

00:04:28Garp put on a grumpy face as usual.

00:04:30But in his heart,

00:04:31he silently accepted the responsibility.

00:04:34For now, let's get back to Luffy

00:04:35as he enters Logetown,

00:04:37a place crawling with wicked pirates.

00:04:39It's known as the city of the beginning and the end

00:04:41for the pirate world,

00:04:42where the whole One Piece legend started.

00:04:45Nami hands out some money to everyone.

00:04:46She tells them to go buy whatever they want,

00:04:48but warns them to stay alert

00:04:50because the marines are literally everywhere in this town.

00:04:53While they're distracted,

00:04:54they don't notice that someone is watching

00:04:55their every move from a distance.

00:04:57Shortly after,

00:04:58the terrifying Captain Smoker of the marines arrives,

00:05:01a man who has half the pirates in the world crying in fear.

00:05:04He arrives dragging a pathetic pirate

00:05:06to be locked up

00:05:06and immediately asks for someone named Tashigi.

00:05:09His soldier says he hasn't seen her all day.

00:05:12Smoker warns him that the town

00:05:13is starting to retract too many pirates

00:05:15and tells them to stay sharp

00:05:16while he goes on a patrol

00:05:17to see if he can find any other scum

00:05:19to throw in a cell.

00:05:20During this time,

00:05:21Nami is completely absorbed

00:05:22in examining some world map books.

00:05:25Seeing her passion,

00:05:26Usopp pipes up with some encouragement,

00:05:28suggesting that one day,

00:05:29she will be the one to personally draw

00:05:31an entire map of the world all by herself.

00:05:34Nami is absolutely delighted to hear that.

00:05:36She encourages Usopp

00:05:38that he should also do something special for himself,

00:05:40perhaps something related to his hometown and loved ones.

00:05:43A specific name immediately flashes in Usopp's mind.

00:05:46Without wasting a second,

00:05:48he grabs a transponder snail

00:05:49to make her call back home,

00:05:50to talk to Kaeya.

00:05:52At the same time,

00:05:53the perpetually lost Zoro

00:05:54is wandering around looking for a sword shop

00:05:56when he accidentally bumps into a young woman.

00:05:58The moment he sees her face,

00:05:59Zoro completely freezes for about five seconds.

00:06:02So, here's the deal.

00:06:03This Tashigi girl looks exactly like Quina,

00:06:06the girls Zoro used to train with

00:06:08when they were kids.

00:06:09She offers to help him find his way,

00:06:11thinking he might be lost.

00:06:12To avoid dwelling on painful memories,

00:06:15Zoro brushes it off

00:06:16and continues to the sword shop.

00:06:17Once inside,

00:06:18he shows the owner his cash

00:06:20and asks how many swords that'll get him.

00:06:22The shopkeeper dismissively tells him

00:06:24that's only enough for a kitchen knife,

00:06:26telling him to get lost.

00:06:27Just as Zoro is about to leave,

00:06:29the owner catches a glimpse of the sword

00:06:31he's already carrying

00:06:32and asks to see it.

00:06:33When he unsheathes it,

00:06:34he's absolutely blown away by its quality.

00:06:36He tries to scam Zoro out of it,

00:06:38offering him a huge pile of money

00:06:40or even three other swords in exchange for that one blade.

00:06:43Zoro refuses instantly because that sword is incredibly precious.

00:06:47It belonged to Quina before she passed away.

00:06:49Right then, Tashigi walks in,

00:06:51absolutely geeking out

00:06:53because she recognizes the blade as a legendary,

00:06:56one-of-a-kind treasure,

00:06:58worth at least a million berries at a minimum.

00:07:01Now that the owner has been caught in his lie,

00:07:03his face falls because he just missed out on a huge profit.

00:07:07Taking advantage of this lucky break,

00:07:09Zoro asks the living encyclopedia Tashigi

00:07:12for her advice on picking out new gear

00:07:14and she happily agrees to help.

00:07:16A bit later,

00:07:17Zoro's attention is

00:07:18caught by a mysterious black blade.

00:07:21Tashigi immediately rushes over to warn him

00:07:23that it's a cursed sword

00:07:24and anyone who dares to use it

00:07:26will eventually meet a tragic end.

00:07:28The shop owner is also breaking out in a cold sweat,

00:07:31advising Zoro to just leave it alone

00:07:33and pick something safe.

00:07:34But our guy Zoro isn't the type to be scared of anything,

00:07:37ever.

00:07:39He boldly declares that he wants to see

00:07:41if the sword's curse is stronger

00:07:42or if his own luck is greater.

00:07:44With that,

00:07:45he tosses the blade high into the air

00:07:47and holds his bare arm straight out to catch it.

00:07:50It's a heart-stopping moment

00:07:51for both the onlookers and the shopkeeper.

00:07:54Swoosh!

00:07:55The sword falls and plunges straight

00:07:57into the floorboards,

00:07:58landing right next to his arm

00:08:00without even grazing a single hair.

00:08:02That's some serious conviction right there.

00:08:05Zoro decides to take

00:08:06the cursed black sword immediately

00:08:07and tells the owner to grab one more

00:08:09so he can complete his set.

00:08:11Elsewhere,

00:08:12Luffy and Sanji are busy scouring

00:08:13the market area for food supplies.

00:08:15Once they have enough,

00:08:16Luffy splits off from the group

00:08:18and goes running around

00:08:19trying to find that old execution square.

00:08:21By pure coincidence,

00:08:22Nami bumps into a guy

00:08:23with a rooster head hairstyle

00:08:24named Bartolomeo.

00:08:26With her world-class thieving skills,

00:08:28Nami swiftly swipes his entire wallet

00:08:30without him noticing a thing.

00:08:32Meanwhile,

00:08:32back at the sword shop,

00:08:33everyone is witnessing

00:08:34a legendary test of Zoro's

00:08:36incredible character and resolve.

00:08:37The shop owner is now

00:08:38completely won over

00:08:39and full of respect.

00:08:41He brings out a treasure

00:08:42of the shop,

00:08:43one of the 50 finest blades

00:08:44in the world,

00:08:45and gives it to Zoro

00:08:46for absolutely nothing.

00:08:47He nods in admiration,

00:08:49remarking that the sword itself

00:08:50has clearly chosen

00:08:51its rightful master.

00:08:52Just like that,

00:08:53Zoro ends up with a collection

00:08:55of top-tier equipment.

00:08:57Zoro now has his full set

00:08:58of three swords.

00:08:59He thanks the lovely Tashigi

00:09:01and walks out of the store

00:09:02looking like a total badass.

00:09:04As night starts to fall,

00:09:05the naive Luffy is still wandering around

00:09:06searching for the execution site

00:09:08when Bartolomeo approaches him,

00:09:10offering to act as a guide.

00:09:11In reality,

00:09:12the guy is just drooling

00:09:13over the thought of Luffy's

00:09:14massive bounty

00:09:15and isn't being helpful at all.

00:09:17He leads Luffy to a nearby circus,

00:09:19and oh boy,

00:09:20Luffy falls right into

00:09:21a giant trap set by Buggy.

00:09:23And it's not just Buggy the clown there,

00:09:24he's joined by the formidable

00:09:26Alvita as well.

00:09:27When Luffy sees his two

00:09:29former enemies working together,

00:09:30his eyes go wide in total shock.

00:09:32Alvita is still nursing

00:09:33a deep grudge against the kid.

00:09:35Because he wrecked her ship

00:09:36in the past,

00:09:37she swore to make him pay back

00:09:38every bit of that debt

00:09:39with interest.

00:09:40Without wasting words,

00:09:42Luffy immediately launches

00:09:43a powerful Gomu Gomu no pistol

00:09:45right at his opponent's face.

00:09:47But weirdly enough,

00:09:48the moment his fist makes contact with her,

00:09:50it just slides right off harmlessly.

00:09:52It turns out Alvita has eaten

00:09:53the Subei Subei no Mi Devil Fruit.

00:09:55She now automatically deflects

00:09:57any and all physical attacks

00:09:58directed at her.

00:09:59Taking advantage of Luffy's confusion,

00:10:02Alvita uses her power

00:10:03to send him flying back.

00:10:04Buggy seizes the opportunity

00:10:06to slap a pair of special

00:10:07sea prismstone handcuffs on him,

00:10:09instantly neutralizing

00:10:10his Devil Fruit powers.

00:10:11Now,

00:10:12this villainous duo

00:10:13is ready to take their revenge

00:10:14on our main character.

00:10:15At that very same moment,

00:10:17the big boss,

00:10:18Smoker receives intelligence

00:10:19that pirates are causing

00:10:20absolute chaos in the city.

00:10:22He immediately calls

00:10:23his assistant Tashigi

00:10:24to gear up and head out

00:10:25to restore order.

00:10:26Meanwhile,

00:10:27the rest of the crew

00:10:28gathers together

00:10:29and finally realizes

00:10:30that their captain is missing.

00:10:31With no other choice,

00:10:33they start racing around

00:10:34at full speed to find him.

00:10:35It turns out

00:10:36they were right to worry.

00:10:38Over at the circus,

00:10:39the villainous pair

00:10:39is holding a mock trial

00:10:40of their own making

00:10:41to judge Luffy.

00:10:42The death sentence

00:10:43is quickly handed down.

00:10:44All their subordinates

00:10:45break out into a roar of applause,

00:10:47cheering for the execution.

00:10:48Right at the most critical moment,

00:10:50Luffy's loyal crew members

00:10:52arrive on the scene

00:10:52just in time.

00:10:54Alvida's henchmen

00:10:55charge forward

00:10:55and the two sides

00:10:56clash in an intense battle.

00:10:58Nami and Usopp

00:10:59combine their high IQ tactics

00:11:01throwing specialized bombs

00:11:02that manage to bypass

00:11:03Alvida's slippery defense,

00:11:05leaving her completely

00:11:06overwhelmed and defeated.

00:11:07In the middle of the melee,

00:11:08the marines also arrive

00:11:09to shut things down.

00:11:11Tashigi takes one look

00:11:12and immediately realizes

00:11:13that Zoro is actually

00:11:14a high-profile pirate after all.

00:11:16Up on top of the execution platform,

00:11:18Buggy has Luffy tightly bound

00:11:19and is holding a sword

00:11:20to his throat,

00:11:21asking if he has

00:11:22any final words

00:11:23before he leaves this world

00:11:24for good.

00:11:25Luffy takes a deep,

00:11:26steady breath

00:11:26and shouts out

00:11:27at the top of his lungs

00:11:28that he will find the One Piece

00:11:30and become the King

00:11:31of the Pirates.

00:11:32Even facing death,

00:11:33he manages to give

00:11:34a wide, iconic grin,

00:11:36apologizing to his crew

00:11:37because he won't be able

00:11:38to continue the journey

00:11:39with them.

00:11:40That legendary smile

00:11:41completely shocks

00:11:42Smoker's psyche,

00:11:43reminding him instantly

00:11:44of the legendary Roger

00:11:45from years ago.

00:11:46Just as the blade

00:11:47is about to fall,

00:11:48a massive,

00:11:49colossal bolt of lightning

00:11:51strikes down from the heavens

00:11:52right onto Buggy

00:11:53completely destroying

00:11:54the execution platform

00:11:55in the process.

00:11:56Luffy falls to the ground

00:11:57surviving by a miracle

00:11:58while Bartolomeo

00:11:59watches in absolute disbelief.

00:12:01After that,

00:12:02he quickly reunites

00:12:03with his friends

00:12:04and they start running away

00:12:05as fast as their legs

00:12:06can carry them.

00:12:07While retreating,

00:12:08Zoro is cut off

00:12:09by Tashigi.

00:12:10She is absolutely fuming

00:12:12because she realized

00:12:12she accidentally helped

00:12:14a pirate obtain

00:12:15some incredibly powerful swords.

00:12:17Without another word,

00:12:18the two of them engage

00:12:18in a fierce duel.

00:12:20At first,

00:12:20Zoro holds back

00:12:21and stays on the defensive,

00:12:22but with just a few

00:12:23basic moves,

00:12:24he easily defeats Tashigi.

00:12:26He then turns his back

00:12:27and walks away.

00:12:28On another part

00:12:29of the battlefield,

00:12:30Luffy and Sanji

00:12:31are facing off

00:12:31against Smoker.

00:12:32The two of them

00:12:33charge in with everything

00:12:35they've got

00:12:35to attack him,

00:12:36but Sanji is quickly

00:12:37taken out of the fight.

00:12:38An angry Luffy

00:12:39launches a flurry

00:12:40of punches

00:12:41at Smoker's face,

00:12:42but unfortunately,

00:12:43the captain has

00:12:44a Logia-type devil fruit

00:12:45that turns his body

00:12:46into intangible smoke.

00:12:47Physical hits

00:12:48are as harmless

00:12:49as a light breeze to him.

00:12:51Turning the tables,

00:12:52Smoker uses his smoke

00:12:53to pummel Luffy

00:12:54and then pins him

00:12:55firmly to the ground.

00:12:56He tells Luffy

00:12:57that his life

00:12:57isn't even worth his bounty

00:12:59before preparing

00:12:59to finish him off.

00:13:00Just as things

00:13:01look completely hopeless,

00:13:02a mysterious man

00:13:03suddenly appears

00:13:04and stops Smoker's

00:13:05killing blow

00:13:06in its tracks.

00:13:06He declares

00:13:07that the boy's time

00:13:08hasn't come to an end yet

00:13:09and then he vanishes

00:13:10along with Smoker.

00:13:11Sanji rushes over

00:13:12to pull Luffy up

00:13:13and both of them

00:13:14were totally confused

00:13:15having no idea

00:13:15what mysterious force

00:13:16just saved them.

00:13:17They decide to just focus

00:13:18on escaping back

00:13:19to the ship for now.

00:13:20From a distance,

00:13:21the mysterious man

00:13:22watches the ship

00:13:23depart with a satisfied smirk,

00:13:25feeling content

00:13:25because Luffy

00:13:26is finally starting

00:13:27to look like a true pirate.

00:13:28That night,

00:13:29in a local bar,

00:13:30Tashigi is still sulking

00:13:32over her defeat

00:13:32at Zoro's hands.

00:13:34Suddenly,

00:13:34the beautiful Robin

00:13:36glides over

00:13:36and speaks to her

00:13:37with sweet words.

00:13:39Ignoring Tashige's

00:13:40cold attitude,

00:13:41Robin begins to shower

00:13:42her with praise

00:13:43for her intelligence

00:13:44and skills

00:13:44and then drops

00:13:45a business card,

00:13:47inviting her to join

00:13:48the Baroque Works

00:13:48organization.

00:13:49The moment the bar door

00:13:50opens and Smoker

00:13:51walks in,

00:13:52Robin has already vanished

00:13:54without a trace.

00:13:55Smoker is absolutely

00:13:56furious right now

00:13:57because Luffy managed

00:13:58to slip through his fingers.

00:13:59He begins to visualize

00:14:00the image of Roger again,

00:14:02realizing with a click

00:14:03of his tongue

00:14:03that these two are cut

00:14:04from the very same cloth.

00:14:06Ever since Roger's death,

00:14:07knowledge of the One Piece

00:14:08has spread everywhere,

00:14:09flooding the world

00:14:10with new pirates.

00:14:11Smoker is determined

00:14:12not to let some rookie

00:14:13like Luffy

00:14:14inherit the Pirate King's will.

00:14:16He decides he's going

00:14:17to head straight

00:14:17into the Grand Line

00:14:18to tear out the problem

00:14:20by its roots.

00:14:21By the time the next morning

00:14:22rolled around,

00:14:23Luffy and his crew

00:14:24had successfully navigated

00:14:25their ship

00:14:25to the very foot

00:14:26of Reverse Mountain,

00:14:28the iconic

00:14:28and intimidating gateway

00:14:29that marks the official

00:14:30starting point

00:14:31for any pirate

00:14:32daring enough

00:14:32to enter the treacherous

00:14:34waters of the Grand Lime.

00:14:35The entire team

00:14:36is fired up

00:14:37and ready to go,

00:14:38full of energy

00:14:38and bloodlust,

00:14:40prepared to face

00:14:40whatever storms lie ahead.

00:14:42Not long after

00:14:43setting sail,

00:14:44they luckily manage

00:14:45to cross over

00:14:45the mountain range.

00:14:47However,

00:14:47Wood greets them

00:14:48on the other side

00:14:48as the massive,

00:14:49gaping mouth

00:14:50of a giant whale.

00:14:52When Luffy finally wakes up,

00:14:53he finds himself

00:14:54lying alone on the shore.

00:14:56It turns out

00:14:57that thanks to

00:14:57some classic protagonist luck,

00:14:59he was thrown clear

00:15:00while his friends

00:15:01weren't as fortunate.

00:15:02Just as he's feeling

00:15:03completely lost

00:15:04and unsure

00:15:05of how to handle

00:15:05the situation,

00:15:06he encounters

00:15:06the lighthouse keeper

00:15:07who shows off

00:15:08some incredible skills.

00:15:09The old man

00:15:10lands a tranquilizer dart

00:15:11with pinpoint accuracy

00:15:13from a distance,

00:15:14knocking out

00:15:14the massive whale

00:15:15in a single heartbeat.

00:15:16After that's done,

00:15:17he turns to Luffy

00:15:18and advises him

00:15:19that his crew

00:15:20is likely long gone,

00:15:21so he should stop dreaming

00:15:22and just accept reality.

00:15:24Naturally,

00:15:25Luffy says no way.

00:15:26He stubbornly insists

00:15:28on getting his friends out

00:15:29and starts pestering

00:15:29the old man

00:15:30to spill the beans

00:15:31on the history

00:15:32of this enormous whale.

00:15:33Realizing he can't get rid

00:15:34of the annoying kid,

00:15:35the old man gives in

00:15:36and tells him

00:15:37a heartbreaking story.

00:15:38It turns out

00:15:39he's been guarding

00:15:40this lighthouse for years

00:15:41and hasn't really liked anyone.

00:15:43Neither people

00:15:43nor animals

00:15:44usually take a liking to him.

00:15:46That was until one day

00:15:47when the Rumbar Pirates

00:15:48stopped by.

00:15:49This crew was a bunch

00:15:50of party animals

00:15:51who were always singing

00:15:52and making music,

00:15:53and they even had a baby whale

00:15:55named Laboon following them.

00:15:56Little Laboon was lonely

00:15:57and found their music

00:15:58so captivating

00:15:59that he just kept following them

00:16:00until he eventually

00:16:01became a core member

00:16:02of their crew.

00:16:03Their leader,

00:16:04Yorkie,

00:16:05cherished Laboon

00:16:05like a precious treasure

00:16:06and was ready

00:16:07to protect him

00:16:08at all costs.

00:16:09But the old man

00:16:10knew all too well

00:16:11that the monster-infested

00:16:12Grand Line

00:16:12was no place

00:16:13for a young,

00:16:14defenseless whale.

00:16:15After being convinced,

00:16:16Yorkie decided

00:16:16to leave Laboon

00:16:17in the old man's care

00:16:18while the crew

00:16:19ventured into the Grand Line.

00:16:21Before departing,

00:16:22they promised

00:16:22they would return soon

00:16:23to pick him up,

00:16:24but as they say,

00:16:25life is full of

00:16:26unexpected twists.

00:16:27Rumors began to circulate

00:16:29that the entire crew

00:16:30had perished,

00:16:31but Laboon stubbornly

00:16:32refused to believe the news.

00:16:34Day after day,

00:16:35he would slam his head

00:16:36against the cliffside,

00:16:37determined to break

00:16:38through the mountain

00:16:39and swim into the Grand Line

00:16:40to find his friends.

00:16:41If the old man

00:16:42didn't use tranquilizers

00:16:43on him every day,

00:16:45the whale would have

00:16:45probably killed himself

00:16:46with his stubbornness

00:16:47long ago.

00:16:49However,

00:16:50because of the frequent doses,

00:16:52Laboon is starting

00:16:52to build a tolerance

00:16:53and the medicine

00:16:54isn't as effective anymore.

00:16:56Hearing this,

00:16:57Luffy is moved to tears

00:16:58and says there must be

00:16:59a way to knock

00:17:00some sense into him

00:17:01so he can finally

00:17:02face the truth.

00:17:03The old man finds

00:17:04Luffy's comment annoying

00:17:05and fires back,

00:17:06telling him to look at himself

00:17:07since he can't even accept

00:17:08that his own crew is gone.

00:17:10Meanwhile,

00:17:10Nami's group is still

00:17:11very much alive

00:17:12inside Laboon's stomach,

00:17:14working hard

00:17:14to find an exit.

00:17:16Usopp gets a bright idea

00:17:17believing that

00:17:18inside a whale

00:17:18that swallows ships,

00:17:20there must be

00:17:20some useful equipment

00:17:21lying around.

00:17:22So the long-nosed sniper

00:17:24drags Sanji off

00:17:25to scavenge for loot,

00:17:26weaving Zoro and Nami

00:17:27to brainstorm

00:17:28an escape plan.

00:17:29Zoro plans to use

00:17:30a harpoon he just put together

00:17:31to poke a sensitive spot

00:17:32on Laboon

00:17:33to make him sneeze,

00:17:35hoping they can fly out

00:17:36in the process.

00:17:37Nami doesn't think

00:17:38that's a very smart idea.

00:17:39While they're arguing,

00:17:40a woman calling herself

00:17:41Miss Wednesday

00:17:42suddenly appears

00:17:43and swipes Nami's compass.

00:17:45At first she acts

00:17:45all arrogant and superior,

00:17:47but unfortunately for her,

00:17:48she is quickly intercepted

00:17:50by Sanji and Usopp.

00:17:51The two of them

00:17:52even managed to capture

00:17:53her partner as well.

00:17:54It turns out

00:17:55these two were plotting

00:17:56to steal the going Mary

00:17:57to make their own getaway.

00:17:59Things just got serious.

00:18:00The crew ties the pair up

00:18:01for interrogation.

00:18:02Seeing their arrogant

00:18:03and boastful attitude

00:18:05about their powers,

00:18:06Zoro immediately senses

00:18:07something familiar about them.

00:18:09As it happens,

00:18:10in the past,

00:18:11he encountered a guy

00:18:11named Mr. Seven

00:18:12who tried to recruit him

00:18:13into a shady organization

00:18:14called Baroque Works.

00:18:16Since he wasn't interested,

00:18:17Zoro just went ahead

00:18:18and sliced the guy in half.

00:18:19And now he's looking

00:18:20at Miss Wednesday

00:18:21with that same exact look

00:18:22of contempt.

00:18:24Zoro decides it's best

00:18:25to just toss them

00:18:26into the acid lake

00:18:26in the whale's stomach

00:18:27and be done with it.

00:18:29But Nami quickly stops him,

00:18:30knowing that Luffy

00:18:31wouldn't approve

00:18:32of such a cold-blooded move.

00:18:33Even though Nami

00:18:34just saved her life,

00:18:35Miss Wednesday stays true

00:18:36to her character

00:18:37and starts mocking Nami

00:18:38for clinging to such

00:18:39a useless, basic compass.

00:18:41She laughs sarcastically

00:18:43and decides to give them

00:18:44a quick lesson.

00:18:45In the Grand Lime,

00:18:46the magnetic fields

00:18:47are so chaotic

00:18:47that normal compasses

00:18:48are complete garbage.

00:18:50To survive here,

00:18:51you need a specialized tool

00:18:52called a log pose.

00:18:53Seeing that this amateur pirate crew

00:18:55lacks any decent gear

00:18:56and doesn't even know

00:18:57what a log pose is,

00:18:58Wednesday breaks into

00:18:59uncontrollable laughter.

00:19:00Just as the tension

00:19:01is peak drama,

00:19:03Giant Laboon

00:19:03starts waking up

00:19:04from the drugs.

00:19:05The massive whale

00:19:06thrashes around violently,

00:19:07causing the entire ship

00:19:08to shake

00:19:09and everyone

00:19:09to go tumbling.

00:19:10But in that

00:19:11life-or-death moment,

00:19:12even though she has

00:19:13a big mouth,

00:19:14Miss Wednesday,

00:19:15who looks tough,

00:19:16actually ends up

00:19:16accidentally helping the group.

00:19:18Or at the very least,

00:19:19she manages to pull

00:19:20Usopp back

00:19:21and save his life.

00:19:22Outside,

00:19:23Luffy initially tries

00:19:24to act all tough

00:19:25and aggressive,

00:19:25shouting at the top

00:19:26of his lungs at Laboon.

00:19:27But when he sees

00:19:28the massive whale

00:19:29doesn't even blink,

00:19:30he immediately switches

00:19:31his strategy.

00:19:32He clears his throat

00:19:33and starts loudly singing

00:19:34the exact same favorite song

00:19:36that Laboon's old pirate crew

00:19:37used to sing.

00:19:39Surprisingly,

00:19:40this psychological tactic

00:19:41worked wonders.

00:19:41Seeing Laboon starting

00:19:43to soften up

00:19:43and look at him,

00:19:44Luffy seizes the chance

00:19:45to use his

00:19:46talk no jutsu,

00:19:48launching into a deep lecture

00:19:49about how,

00:19:50in this life,

00:19:51meetings are a matter of fate,

00:19:53people come and go,

00:19:54but there will always be those

00:19:55who choose to stay by her side.

00:19:56Ending his speech,

00:19:57Luffy begs the whale

00:19:58to spit his friends back out,

00:20:00and surprisingly,

00:20:01Laboon obediently complies.

00:20:03The going area

00:20:03is successfully back

00:20:04in the water,

00:20:05with the added bonus

00:20:06of two unwanted tagalongs.

00:20:08Before they set sail again,

00:20:10the whole crew

00:20:10throws a little

00:20:11farewell lunch

00:20:12with the old man.

00:20:13Nami and the others

00:20:13tell Luffy about

00:20:14catching the two prisoners.

00:20:16At the same time,

00:20:17Nami complains about

00:20:18how messed up

00:20:19the Grand Line's

00:20:19magnetic fields are.

00:20:21Their normal compass

00:20:21is useless

00:20:22and the crew

00:20:22is completely unprepared.

00:20:24Unexpectedly,

00:20:25the generous old man

00:20:26sponsors them

00:20:27with the high-quality

00:20:28log pose navigation tool

00:20:29that Nami so desperately needs.

00:20:31After that,

00:20:32and before they continue

00:20:33on their journey,

00:20:34Luffy shows off

00:20:35his artistic skills

00:20:36by painting a giant

00:20:37straw hat pirate logo

00:20:38right on Laboon's

00:20:39scarred forehead.

00:20:40He warns the whale

00:20:41not to bash his head

00:20:42into rocks anymore,

00:20:43or he'll ruin

00:20:43that awesome new tattoo,

00:20:45and he'll have to live

00:20:46with the consequences.

00:20:47They promise to return

00:20:48for him eventually.

00:20:49After a tearful goodbye,

00:20:51the crew sets sail

00:20:52with pride

00:20:52to continue their epic adventure.

00:20:54Once the ship

00:20:55is out of sight,

00:20:56the old man

00:20:56pulls out a photo

00:20:57of the former king,

00:20:58Roger,

00:20:58for a quiet chat.

00:21:00He thinks that maybe

00:21:00this kid is the chosen one

00:21:02they've been searching for.

00:21:03The one who might

00:21:04finally be able to

00:21:05claim the One Piece

00:21:05for himself.

00:21:06Switching over to the Marines,

00:21:07Smoker is absolutely

00:21:09dying to chase after Luffy,

00:21:10but he's bogged down

00:21:11by annoying red tape

00:21:12and administrative procedures.

00:21:14Entering the Grand Lime

00:21:15requires permission

00:21:16from the big boss,

00:21:17Garp.

00:21:17Toshigi hesitantly

00:21:19reminds him about

00:21:19his authority,

00:21:20but Smoker just replies,

00:21:22rules are nothing to me,

00:21:23I don't give a damn.

00:21:24As soon as he finishes speaking,

00:21:26Vice Admiral Garp

00:21:27arrives at Logetown

00:21:28along with the two rookies,

00:21:29Kobe and Homeppo,

00:21:31to have a discussion.

00:21:32The two of them

00:21:32get into a heated

00:21:33verbal sparring match

00:21:34over whether to pursue Luffy.

00:21:36When Garp hears Smoker

00:21:38compare Luffy to Roger,

00:21:40he just dismisses it

00:21:41immediately.

00:21:42Smoker insists,

00:21:43You weren't there,

00:21:43you don't know.

00:21:44That brat has the exact

00:21:46same aura as Roger.

00:21:47I know you're just being

00:21:48soft on your grandson,

00:21:49though.

00:21:50Garp cuts him off

00:21:51right then and there,

00:21:51telling him he's still

00:21:52far too inexperienced.

00:21:53He smoothly explains

00:21:55that a trashy pirate ship

00:21:56could never climb mountains

00:21:57as efficiently

00:21:58as a top-tier

00:21:59marine vessel.

00:22:00They'd probably sink

00:22:01before even reaching

00:22:02the Grand Lion.

00:22:03To summarize,

00:22:04the Straw Hat crew's

00:22:05nothing more than

00:22:06tiny specks of dust

00:22:07right now.

00:22:08The marines have

00:22:09bigger headaches,

00:22:10like the kingdom of

00:22:10Arabasta being on the

00:22:11brink of a brutal civil war.

00:22:13Their princesses

00:22:14vanished without a trace,

00:22:15too.

00:22:16On top of that,

00:22:17the revolutionary army

00:22:18is rapidly recruiting

00:22:19new members

00:22:19and making moves

00:22:20to overthrow the entire

00:22:21world government.

00:22:23But even that

00:22:24isn't the main issue.

00:22:25Garp came all the way

00:22:26here to give Smoker

00:22:27a new mission.

00:22:28He needs to get moving

00:22:29and hunt down

00:22:29the dark organization

00:22:30known as Baroque Works.

00:22:32This group has its tentacles

00:22:33spreading across every sea,

00:22:35including the Grand Line,

00:22:36and they recently ambushed

00:22:38and completely destroyed

00:22:38the Shellstown outpost.

00:22:40This organization

00:22:41is so secretive

00:22:42that the marines

00:22:42haven't managed

00:22:43to catch a single member yet.

00:22:45Their big boss

00:22:45goes by the name

00:22:46Mr. Zero,

00:22:47but what he looks like

00:22:47remains a massive mystery.

00:22:49While they're in

00:22:50their private meeting,

00:22:51an eavesdropping

00:22:51Tashigi bursts

00:22:52into the room.

00:22:53Just as she looks

00:22:54at the projector screen,

00:22:55she's horrified

00:22:56to recognize

00:22:56the beautiful robin

00:22:57who tried to lure her

00:22:58at the bar the other day.

00:23:00Discovering the connection

00:23:01to Baroque Works,

00:23:02Tashigi decides

00:23:03to stay quiet,

00:23:04keeping the information

00:23:05to herself

00:23:06and not saying

00:23:07a single word

00:23:07to Smoker or Gart.

00:23:09By the end of the meeting,

00:23:10Gart gives the order

00:23:11that they must quickly

00:23:12apprehend one Baroque Works

00:23:13member before they manage

00:23:15to tear apart

00:23:15any more of their bases.

00:23:17After receiving the orders,

00:23:18Smoker plans

00:23:19to leave immediately

00:23:19and tells Tashigi

00:23:21to stay behind

00:23:21and behave herself

00:23:22in Lobetown.

00:23:23But no,

00:23:24she's a different person now.

00:23:25After absorbing some wisdom

00:23:27from Helmepo and Kobe,

00:23:28Tashigi realizes

00:23:29that blindly following orders

00:23:30is for losers.

00:23:32And a real marine

00:23:33has to play

00:23:33by their own rules.

00:23:34She shouts back

00:23:35at her boss,

00:23:36I'm not staying.

00:23:37I have my own targets

00:23:38to hunt down.

00:23:39I swear I'll recover

00:23:40that masterpiece

00:23:41of a sword

00:23:42from his hands

00:23:43and from anyone else

00:23:44who is worthy

00:23:44of carrying a blade.

00:23:45You'd think Smoker

00:23:46would tear into her

00:23:47for that.

00:23:47But instead,

00:23:49he just nods in approval

00:23:50and lets her come

00:23:50aboard the ship.

00:23:51Returning to the Strawhack crew,

00:23:53Mr. Nine is being

00:23:54so moody and aggressive

00:23:55that the entire crew

00:23:56is just ignoring him,

00:23:57focusing on Miss Wednesday

00:23:59instead.

00:24:00Even though Wednesday

00:24:00is being all defensive,

00:24:02Luffy just wants to get to know

00:24:03what kind of person

00:24:04she really is.

00:24:05After some casual chatting,

00:24:06he concludes that she

00:24:07doesn't seem dangerous at all.

00:24:09No sooner said than done,

00:24:10he decides to make

00:24:11a completely wild decision

00:24:12to untie her

00:24:13and set her free

00:24:14right then and there.

00:24:15The whole crew freaks out

00:24:16and starts arguing loudly

00:24:17with him,

00:24:18their guard higher than ever.

00:24:19But once Luffy makes up his mind,

00:24:21there's absolutely no stopping him,

00:24:23right in the middle

00:24:24of their noisy argument.

00:24:25Everyone's heart skips a beat

00:24:26because of the appearance

00:24:27of Cactus Island.

00:24:29Mr. Nine and Miss Wednesday

00:24:30seize the golden opportunity

00:24:32to dive overboard

00:24:32into the water

00:24:33and disappear.

00:24:34As soon as the Strawhack crew

00:24:35sets foot in the small town,

00:24:37they are immediately greeted

00:24:38with suspicious glares

00:24:39and hostile looks

00:24:40from a local residence.

00:24:41Just when they think

00:24:42trouble is brewing,

00:24:43Mayor Egoram

00:24:44pops out of nowhere.

00:24:45He says something

00:24:46that totally shocks the crew.

00:24:47We actually love pirates here

00:24:49because this is the first stop

00:24:50for rookies

00:24:51right at the entrance

00:24:51of the Grand Line.

00:24:52The townspeople realize

00:24:54that it's much better

00:24:55to throw a party

00:24:56and serve the ocean's outlaws

00:24:57than to stubbornly resist

00:24:59and have their homes destroyed.

00:25:01After that,

00:25:02Egoram takes over

00:25:02as their guide

00:25:03and leads them on a tour

00:25:04through the streets,

00:25:05where they happen

00:25:06to run into a nun.

00:25:07She lets a little taunt slip,

00:25:09saying she hopes

00:25:09this group is more fun

00:25:10than the Tulip Pirates

00:25:11who were here before.

00:25:12His curiosity peaked.

00:25:14Usa quickly asks

00:25:15if the Tulip Pirates

00:25:16are still hanging

00:25:17around the island.

00:25:18Egoram immediately waves

00:25:19off the question

00:25:20to cover it up.

00:25:21Right then,

00:25:22the dinner bell rings

00:25:22and the villagers lay out

00:25:24a massive, luxurious feast

00:25:25for the pirates.

00:25:26The cost is dirt cheap

00:25:27all they have to do

00:25:28is sit and tell some stories

00:25:29in exchange for food.

00:25:31Who could possibly

00:25:32turn down such a great deal?

00:25:33The entire crew

00:25:34heads straight into the tavern.

00:25:36Usa takes the chance

00:25:37to tell some absolutely

00:25:38wild tall tales.

00:25:39Luffy is raising his glass

00:25:40and partying hard

00:25:41in the bar

00:25:42to enjoy himself.

00:25:43The only one

00:25:43who doesn't fit in

00:25:44with the comedy show

00:25:45is the dead serious Zoro.

00:25:47Our Mosshead friend's face

00:25:48is all grumpy

00:25:49and full of killing intent.

00:25:50Mostly due to the lingering

00:25:52psychological impact

00:25:53of meeting his idol Mihawk.

00:25:55Seeing this,

00:25:55Luffy claps him on the shoulder

00:25:57to comfort him

00:25:57saying there will be

00:25:58plenty of opponents

00:25:59to test his skills against

00:26:00on the road ahead.

00:26:01While they're partying hard,

00:26:03Luffy suddenly gets

00:26:04a craving for sweets.

00:26:06He remembers,

00:26:07spotting a bakery

00:26:08while they were walking earlier

00:26:09so he sneaks away

00:26:10from the table.

00:26:11Just as he's stuffing

00:26:12his face with a pastry,

00:26:13Mayor Egoram looms

00:26:14up in front of him.

00:26:15Luffy,

00:26:16with his mouth full,

00:26:16assures him

00:26:17he'll pay the bill

00:26:18and won't skip out.

00:26:19But Egoram flips

00:26:20his personality

00:26:21faster than a pancake

00:26:22and tells him

00:26:23he doesn't care

00:26:24about some petty change.

00:26:25He flashes a wicked smile

00:26:27and delivers a lecture

00:26:28about how you should

00:26:28never trust anyone.

00:26:30Rewinding a bit,

00:26:31earlier Luffy

00:26:32had warned Egoram

00:26:33that two assassins

00:26:34would be washing up

00:26:35on the island.

00:26:36At the time,

00:26:37the old man

00:26:37acted all clueless

00:26:38and surprised,

00:26:39but in reality,

00:26:40he is a high-ranking agent

00:26:42of the Dark Baroque Works

00:26:43organization.

00:26:44Just as he's threatening Luffy,

00:26:45Miss Wednesday shows

00:26:46her face from behind him.

00:26:48The two of him combine

00:26:49their powers

00:26:49for a sleep-inducing attack.

00:26:51Egoram plays a tune

00:26:52on his musical instrument

00:26:53while Miss Wednesday

00:26:54performs a seductive,

00:26:56hip-shaking dance,

00:26:57which successfully

00:26:58knocks the naive Luffy

00:26:59right out.

00:27:00However,

00:27:00he's not alone

00:27:01because on the other side,

00:27:02both Sanji and Usopp

00:27:04have also fallen victim

00:27:05to a honey-trap technique.

00:27:07Meanwhile,

00:27:07Nami is busy

00:27:08in a drinking contest

00:27:09with a nun.

00:27:10With her legendary tolerance,

00:27:12Nami obviously

00:27:12crushes her opponent.

00:27:14Looking out the window,

00:27:15our boss lady

00:27:15spots a mountain

00:27:16that looks pretty interesting,

00:27:17so she decides

00:27:18to head over

00:27:19and check it out.

00:27:19The drunken nun

00:27:20rambles on

00:27:21about how dangerous

00:27:22that place is,

00:27:23but as the saying goes,

00:27:24the more you forbid something,

00:27:25the more people

00:27:26want to do it.

00:27:27Nami is itching to visit

00:27:28and check it out

00:27:29no matter what,

00:27:30and just as expected,

00:27:31once she arrives,

00:27:32Nami realizes

00:27:33the whole area

00:27:34is just one giant trap.

00:27:36Right as things look bleak,

00:27:37a bizarre and totally

00:27:38unfamiliar voice

00:27:39called out from behind her.

00:27:40It was that creepy

00:27:41local gravedigger.

00:27:42After she expertly

00:27:43delivered a few

00:27:44solid thumps to his head

00:27:45to knock some sense into him,

00:27:47she scrambled back

00:27:48toward the tavern

00:27:48to sound the alarm

00:27:49for the rest of the crew.

00:27:50Along the way,

00:27:51she practically tripped

00:27:53over Zorro,

00:27:53who was busy

00:27:54showing off his swordsmanship

00:27:55in the middle of the path.

00:27:57The two of them.

00:27:57They shared a quick look

00:27:58and instantly realized

00:28:00the terrifying truth.

00:28:01This entire town

00:28:02was nothing more

00:28:03than a stage

00:28:03filled with actors

00:28:04working for the

00:28:05Baroque Works organization.

00:28:06Nami immediately

00:28:07sprang into action,

00:28:08formulating a tactical plan

00:28:09on the fly.

00:28:10She decided to track down Luffy

00:28:12and get the

00:28:12going Mary's engine

00:28:13roaring for a quick getaway,

00:28:15while our favorite

00:28:16moss-headed swordsman

00:28:17was tasked with

00:28:17rounding up Usopp

00:28:18and Sanju

00:28:19to get them back

00:28:19to the ship.

00:28:20Once their roles

00:28:21were settled,

00:28:21Zorro gripped his katanas

00:28:23and marched straight

00:28:23into the bar

00:28:24with intent.

00:28:25As soon as he swung

00:28:26the doors open,

00:28:27he spotted Mr. Nine's

00:28:28striking and dramatic pose,

00:28:30clearly waiting

00:28:30for a confrontation.

00:28:31This was exactly

00:28:32the kind of stage

00:28:33Zorro had been itching for,

00:28:34and he was more than ready

00:28:36to let loose

00:28:36and start the real party.

00:28:38Mr. Nine was suffering

00:28:39from a massive case

00:28:40of overconfidence,

00:28:41naively believing

00:28:42that with a hundred

00:28:43to one advantage

00:28:44he could win this

00:28:45with his eyes closed.

00:28:46Unfortunately for him,

00:28:47he completely underestimated

00:28:49the absolute monster

00:28:50that is Zorro.

00:28:51Our green-haired warrior

00:28:52flicked his hurricane switch,

00:28:54slicing through the waves

00:28:55of Baroque Works minions

00:28:56as effortlessly

00:28:57as a chef

00:28:58dicing up vegetables

00:28:59for a salad.

00:29:00But just as he finishes,

00:29:01more enemies burst

00:29:02through the doors.

00:29:03They manage to knock him back,

00:29:05which only pisses Zorro off.

00:29:06He tears through

00:29:07the remaining group

00:29:08until only a nun

00:29:09is left standing.

00:29:10He hesitates to strike her,

00:29:11but she immediately blows

00:29:12a cloud of blinding poison

00:29:14into his face

00:29:14and stabs him

00:29:15right in the shoulder.

00:29:17Now,

00:29:18Zorro is in a tough spot.

00:29:19Unable to see,

00:29:20Zorro has to rely entirely

00:29:22on his sense of hearing.

00:29:23The moment she lunges at him,

00:29:25he strikes her down for good.

00:29:27He ducks into cover

00:29:28to hide from the others

00:29:29who are armed.

00:29:30Suddenly,

00:29:31he sees a vision of Mihawk

00:29:32who mocks him

00:29:33for struggling against

00:29:34one hundred low-level fighters.

00:29:36The Phantom Mihawk

00:29:37gives him some advice.

00:29:38He needs to master

00:29:39his two new swords

00:29:40if he ever wants

00:29:41to win a real rematch.

00:29:43Zorro takes the hint

00:29:44and starts wielding

00:29:45the blades in tandem,

00:29:46tapping into their true power

00:29:47to take out enemies

00:29:48from a distance.

00:29:49He fights his way

00:29:50up the stairs,

00:29:51clearing the path

00:29:52as he goes.

00:29:52Our swordsman Zorro

00:29:54runs into one big guy

00:29:55from the Baroque Works organization.

00:29:57He manages to snatch

00:29:58a mallet from him,

00:29:59using it to shatter the wall

00:30:00standing in his way.

00:30:01This turn of events

00:30:02actually works out perfectly

00:30:03for Zorro,

00:30:04as he finds himself

00:30:05face-to-face

00:30:06with the two thugs,

00:30:07holding Usopp

00:30:07and Sanji captive.

00:30:09Without breaking a sweat,

00:30:10he wipes them out

00:30:11in the blink of an eye,

00:30:12liberating his crewmates

00:30:13from their confinement

00:30:13before making a swift exit.

00:30:15Zorro spots the big guy

00:30:17waiting for him

00:30:17and wastes no time

00:30:18in knocking him

00:30:19right off the bridge,

00:30:20effectively neutralizing him.

00:30:22He continues on his path,

00:30:23only to be confronted

00:30:24by Mr. Nine,

00:30:25who is thirsty

00:30:26for revenge,

00:30:27but Zorro puts him

00:30:28and another Baroque Works goon

00:30:30down without any trouble.

00:30:32By now,

00:30:32our hero has completely mastered

00:30:34his dual-wielding style,

00:30:35having successfully dispatched

00:30:36a hundred enemies already,

00:30:38and it's clear

00:30:39he's destined for another

00:30:40epic clash with Mihawk soon.

00:30:42But at this very moment,

00:30:43Luffy finally wakes up

00:30:44from his nap.

00:30:45He's absolutely furious

00:30:46when he realizes

00:30:47that someone had the nerve

00:30:48to try and steal his ship.

00:30:50Meanwhile,

00:30:51Igaram and Wednesday

00:30:52are making a high-speed getaway

00:30:53in a strange,

00:30:54candy-themed car,

00:30:55but Luffy manages

00:30:56to latch onto the vehicle

00:30:57and refuses to let go.

00:30:59Nami spots the chaos

00:31:00and yells at him

00:31:01to bring that car to a halt

00:31:02by any means necessary.

00:31:04Nami demands

00:31:04that Luffy stop them,

00:31:06so he uses his rubbery strength

00:31:07to flip the entire car

00:31:08over with them inside.

00:31:10As Igaram and Wednesday

00:31:11pick themselves up,

00:31:12they try to explain

00:31:13that they were forced

00:31:14into these actions

00:31:15against their will.

00:31:16Suddenly,

00:31:17the atmosphere ships

00:31:17as Mr. Five and Miss Valentine

00:31:19from the Baroque Works organization

00:31:21appear from the shadows

00:31:22behind them,

00:31:23looking like they mean

00:31:24serious business.

00:31:25These two are acting

00:31:26on direct orders

00:31:27from the mysterious leader,

00:31:28Mr. Zero,

00:31:29tasked with eliminating

00:31:30Igaram,

00:31:31Wednesday,

00:31:32and Luffy's entire crew.

00:31:33Mr. Five shows off

00:31:35his truly disgusting power.

00:31:36He sticks his finger

00:31:37in his nose

00:31:38and flicks explosive boogers

00:31:40at them.

00:31:40He ate the bomb-bomb fruit,

00:31:42which turns his body's secretions

00:31:44into deadly explosives.

00:31:46Meanwhile,

00:31:47Miss Valentine reveals

00:31:48her own unique ability

00:31:49to manipulate her body weight

00:31:50at will.

00:31:51She can become

00:31:52as light as a feather

00:31:53to float into the air,

00:31:54then instantly change

00:31:55her weight to several tons

00:31:57to crush her enemies

00:31:57like a massive iron ball.

00:31:59Nami makes a break for it,

00:32:01heading toward the boat

00:32:01to escape the impending carnage.

00:32:03Mr. Five and Miss Valentine

00:32:04stay hot on their heels,

00:32:06tracking their every move,

00:32:07but just as they are preparing

00:32:08to launch a final strike,

00:32:10the truth behind

00:32:11Wednesday's identity

00:32:12is about to be revealed,

00:32:13right before the attack lands.

00:32:15It's revealed that

00:32:16Wednesday is actually

00:32:17Princess Vivi of Alabasta.

00:32:19Fortunately,

00:32:20the agent's strike

00:32:21fails to hit its mark

00:32:22and they emerge

00:32:22from the dust unharmed.

00:32:24Vivi then explains

00:32:24the whole situation.

00:32:26She and Igaram

00:32:27had infiltrated

00:32:27the Baroque Works organization

00:32:28as undercover spies

00:32:30to find out

00:32:30who was behind

00:32:31the chaos in her kingdom,

00:32:32and now that they've been discovered,

00:32:34the organization

00:32:35wants them dead.

00:32:36The threat is real,

00:32:37and before they can even

00:32:38plan their escape,

00:32:39they notice Igaram

00:32:40has been badly injured

00:32:41with a large wooden splinter

00:32:42lodged in his side.

00:32:44He desperately tells Vivi

00:32:45that she must flee

00:32:46and return to Alabasta

00:32:47because her people

00:32:48are counting on her.

00:32:49Vivi is understandably

00:32:51devastated and refuses

00:32:52to leave his side,

00:32:53but Igaram stands tall

00:32:54and introduces himself

00:32:55to Luffy,

00:32:56revealing his true title

00:32:57as the captain

00:32:58of the royal guard

00:32:59of Alabasta.

00:33:00He emphasizes that

00:33:01Vivi is the princess,

00:33:02and her safe return

00:33:03is the only thing

00:33:04that can prevent

00:33:04a bloody civil war.

00:33:05Nami,

00:33:06ever the businesswoman,

00:33:07sees an opportunity

00:33:08and declares

00:33:09that they won't protect royalty

00:33:10for anything less

00:33:11than a million berries.

00:33:12Igaram agrees

00:33:13to the price immediately

00:33:14and tells them

00:33:15he'll stay behind

00:33:15to act as a distraction

00:33:16while they make their escape,

00:33:18heading out to confront

00:33:19Mr. Five

00:33:19and Miss Valentine

00:33:20head on.

00:33:21Igaram unveils

00:33:22his bizarre secret weapon

00:33:24multiple machine guns

00:33:25hidden inside

00:33:26his massive curly wig

00:33:27and starts blasting away,

00:33:29sending the enemy agents

00:33:30scurrying like cockroaches.

00:33:31This bold move

00:33:32buys just enough time

00:33:33for Luffy

00:33:33and the others

00:33:34to scramble back

00:33:35to the ship

00:33:35where Usopp

00:33:36and Sanji are waiting.

00:33:37Once they are safely on board,

00:33:39Princess Beavey

00:33:39is visibly overcome

00:33:40with worry

00:33:41for the loyal guard

00:33:42who stayed behind

00:33:42to save them.

00:33:43Tragically,

00:33:44Mr. Five manages

00:33:45to close the distance

00:33:46and triggers

00:33:46a massive explosion

00:33:47right in front

00:33:48of the princess,

00:33:49seemingly ending

00:33:50Igaram's life.

00:33:51Nami rushes

00:33:52to comfort

00:33:53the sobbing Vivi

00:33:54as she mourns

00:33:54the loss

00:33:55of her faithful protector.

00:33:56By the next morning,

00:33:57as they sail

00:33:58across the open sea,

00:33:59the princess

00:34:00is seen clutching

00:34:01Igaram's handkerchief,

00:34:02using it to tie her hair

00:34:04as a solemn tribute

00:34:05to the ultimate sacrifice

00:34:06he made for her.

00:34:07Vivi officially introduces

00:34:09herself to Luffy

00:34:09and explains

00:34:10that she has finally

00:34:11uncovered the true identity

00:34:12of Mr. Zero,

00:34:13the mastermind

00:34:14behind Baroque Works.

00:34:15She stresses

00:34:16that she must reach

00:34:17her father,

00:34:18the king,

00:34:18with this vital information

00:34:20to halt the civil war

00:34:21tearing Alabasta apart.

00:34:22Suddenly,

00:34:23an unexpected sight

00:34:24greets them

00:34:25as flower petals

00:34:26begin raining down

00:34:26on the deck

00:34:27from every direction,

00:34:28signaling a new arrival.

00:34:30The mysterious Missal Sunday,

00:34:32the second highest ranking

00:34:33member at Baroque Works,

00:34:34appears out of nowhere.

00:34:36The crew instinctively

00:34:37grabs their weapons,

00:34:38but they are totally

00:34:39unprepared for her power.

00:34:40She manifests extra hands

00:34:42that sprout

00:34:43from their own bodies

00:34:44effortlessly snatching

00:34:45their weapons

00:34:46and tossing them aside

00:34:47like toys.

00:34:48She calmly tells them

00:34:49that she isn't there

00:34:50to kill them,

00:34:51despite having the perfect

00:34:52opportunity to do so.

00:34:53She claims she's just

00:34:54there for a chat

00:34:55and to get a good look

00:34:56at the famous rubber boy

00:34:57Luffy,

00:34:58even going as far

00:34:59as to snatch the hat

00:35:00right off his head.

00:35:01She warns them

00:35:02that she won't bother

00:35:03killing them now

00:35:04because they are heading

00:35:05straight for Little Garden,

00:35:06an island so incredibly

00:35:07dangerous that the

00:35:08prehistoric perils there

00:35:10will surely do the job

00:35:11for her.

00:35:11It's a chilling warning

00:35:13about the road ahead.

00:35:14Claiming she has taken

00:35:15a liking to them,

00:35:17she offers a deal,

00:35:18an eternal post

00:35:19that will lead them

00:35:20to a different safe island

00:35:21where they can hide out

00:35:22and remain undetected

00:35:23even by her own organization.

00:35:25Most of the crew

00:35:26thinks this sounds

00:35:27like a pretty sweet deal

00:35:28to avoid certain death,

00:35:29but Luffy,

00:35:30as usual,

00:35:31has a completely

00:35:31different perspective

00:35:33on how their adventure

00:35:34should go.

00:35:34Luffy lives for the thrill

00:35:36of the unknown,

00:35:36so he grabs the compass

00:35:37and smashes it to pieces

00:35:39right in front

00:35:39of Miss All Sunday's eyes.

00:35:41She just laughs

00:35:42mockingly at his bravado,

00:35:44telling him it's his loss

00:35:45and reminding him

00:35:45that his friends

00:35:46are made of rubber

00:35:47and won't survive

00:35:47the dangers as easily

00:35:49as he might.

00:35:50For a scaredy cat

00:35:50like Usopp,

00:35:51this sounded like

00:35:52an absolutely golden

00:35:53opportunity that he was

00:35:55ready to jump on

00:35:56immediately.

00:35:57Luffy flatly refused,

00:35:58saying he didn't care

00:35:59about the Grand Line

00:36:00or her pathetic organization.

00:36:02Even though she was rejected,

00:36:03the lady didn't get angry.

00:36:04She just gave a little smirk.

00:36:06She warned him

00:36:07that from the very second

00:36:08they brought that princess

00:36:09aboard their ship,

00:36:10they had essentially

00:36:11stuck their own heads

00:36:12into a guillotine.

00:36:13She wished them good luck

00:36:14before vanishing

00:36:15into thin air,

00:36:16leaving the entire crew

00:36:17to huddle up

00:36:18and figure out

00:36:18their next move.

00:36:19Princess Vivi

00:36:20was absolutely trembling

00:36:22as she warned him

00:36:22that now that Miss All Sunday

00:36:24had located their ship,

00:36:25it was only a matter of time

00:36:27before the entire

00:36:27Baroque Works organization

00:36:29sent an endless wave

00:36:30of assassins

00:36:31to hunt them down.

00:36:32But in stark contrast

00:36:33to Vivi's sheer panic,

00:36:34the Straw Hat crew

00:36:35seemed completely unfazed,

00:36:37acting as if they didn't

00:36:39have a single care

00:36:39in the world.

00:36:40Luffy and the gang

00:36:41were just casually

00:36:42hanging out

00:36:42like nothing was wrong.

00:36:44Through her tears,

00:36:45Vivi thanked Luffy

00:36:45for saving her back

00:36:46on Cactus Island,

00:36:47but she didn't want

00:36:48to drag him

00:36:49into any more danger.

00:36:50She suggested

00:36:51that once they reached

00:36:52Little Garden,

00:36:53they should simply

00:36:53go their separate ways.

00:36:55A little while later,

00:36:56the ship finally drifted

00:36:57into the mysterious shores

00:36:58of Little Garden.

00:36:59The sight that greeted the crew

00:37:00left them all

00:37:01completely stunned.

00:37:02The island was named

00:37:03Little Garden,

00:37:04but it was actually

00:37:05gargantuan in size.

00:37:06As soon as they peered

00:37:08into the dense jungle,

00:37:09they could hear

00:37:09the terrifying roars

00:37:10of massive beasts

00:37:12in the distance.

00:37:12Instead of being afraid,

00:37:14Sanji and Zoro

00:37:15immediately started

00:37:16a competitive bet

00:37:17to see which of them

00:37:18could hunt

00:37:18the biggest monster

00:37:19for dinner.

00:37:19They were dead set on

00:37:21outdoing each other

00:37:21for the title

00:37:22of the best hunter.

00:37:23Meanwhile,

00:37:24Nami and Vivi

00:37:24were busy chatting away

00:37:25as they explored.

00:37:27Vivi was honestly baffled

00:37:28at how this crew

00:37:29could still be smiling

00:37:30and acting so nonchalant,

00:37:32especially after

00:37:33their intense encounter

00:37:34with Luffy and Missal Sunday

00:37:35earlier that day.

00:37:36Nami just gave her

00:37:37a comforting pat

00:37:38on the shoulder

00:37:38explaining that

00:37:39it's just the way they are

00:37:40and not to worry

00:37:41too much about it.

00:37:42Suddenly,

00:37:43they noticed that Usopp

00:37:44had completely disappeared.

00:37:45Nami instantly figured out

00:37:46his game,

00:37:47assuming he'd gotten scared

00:37:48and retreated back

00:37:49to the ship to hide.

00:37:50With the group split up,

00:37:52only Luffy and Vivi

00:37:53remained as they ventured

00:37:54deeper into the dark forest.

00:37:56As they walked,

00:37:56they finally understood

00:37:57why the place was called

00:37:58Little Garden.

00:37:59It was because everything there

00:38:01was scaled up

00:38:02to an XXL size,

00:38:03making normal humans

00:38:04look like tiny little insects

00:38:06in comparison.

00:38:07They soon came face to face

00:38:08with a massive,

00:38:09long-necked dinosaur

00:38:10that towered over the trees.

00:38:12Luffy,

00:38:12being his usual self,

00:38:14immediately got the urge

00:38:15to try and ride the thing.

00:38:16Without waiting

00:38:17for a second thought,

00:38:18he leaped onto

00:38:19the dinosaur's head

00:38:20and dragged to screaming

00:38:21Vivi up with him,

00:38:22completely ignoring her protests.

00:38:24Since she was stuck

00:38:24up there anyway,

00:38:26Vivi decided to make

00:38:27the best of it,

00:38:27sitting atop the massive beast

00:38:29and sharing stories

00:38:30about her childhood

00:38:31in Alabasta with Luffy.

00:38:33Meanwhile,

00:38:33the bickering duo

00:38:34of Sanji and Zoro

00:38:35encountered a ferocious

00:38:37Tyrannosaurus Rex.

00:38:38For fighters of their caliber,

00:38:40taking down a beast like this

00:38:41was child's play.

00:38:42However,

00:38:43they were so busy arguing

00:38:44over who actually landed

00:38:45the killing blow

00:38:46and who was the better hunter

00:38:47that they didn't even notice

00:38:48what was happening around them.

00:38:50From the distance,

00:38:51the faint sound

00:38:51of childish laughter

00:38:52drifted through the air.

00:38:54In a brief moment

00:38:55of distraction,

00:38:56Zoro suddenly found

00:38:57a strange,

00:38:58magical tattoo mark

00:38:59appearing on his body.

00:39:00He frowned,

00:39:01sensing that something

00:39:02very bad was about to happen.

00:39:04As it turns out,

00:39:05dinosaurs weren't even

00:39:06the biggest things

00:39:07on this island.

00:39:07The true residents

00:39:08were much, much larger.

00:39:10The island was honed

00:39:11to legendary,

00:39:12authentic giants.

00:39:13Back with Nami,

00:39:14she had returned

00:39:15to the ship

00:39:15to check on Usopp,

00:39:17only to come face to face

00:39:18with a massive giant

00:39:19named Brogy.

00:39:20Both of them

00:39:21were absolutely terrified,

00:39:23thinking they were about

00:39:23to be turned

00:39:24into a giant-sized snack.

00:39:25To their shock,

00:39:27however,

00:39:27the giant was actually

00:39:28very friendly

00:39:29and invited them

00:39:30for a meal.

00:39:31Brogy wasn't alone

00:39:32on the island,

00:39:33he had a neighbor

00:39:33and rival named Dory.

00:39:35These two had been

00:39:36locked in an epic combat

00:39:37for the last 100 years,

00:39:39simply because

00:39:40they had nothing better to do.

00:39:41They had been fighting

00:39:42for so long

00:39:43that they actually managed

00:39:44to forget the original reason

00:39:46why they even started

00:39:47hating each other

00:39:47in the first place.

00:39:49Brogy spoke about

00:39:50their homeland,

00:39:50Elbof,

00:39:51a place where you can't

00:39:52go outside

00:39:53without bumping into a giant.

00:39:54While Nemi and Usopp

00:39:55were enjoying a drink

00:39:56with one giant,

00:39:57Luffy and Vivi

00:39:58were hitting it off

00:39:59with Dory.

00:40:00It was a classic case

00:40:01of don't judge a book

00:40:02by its cover.

00:40:03Despite their intimidating

00:40:04size and rough appearance,

00:40:05these guys were actually

00:40:06incredibly kind and sweet.

00:40:08The giants were as big

00:40:09as temples,

00:40:10but had hearts of gold.

00:40:11Unfortunately,

00:40:12Mr. Five and Miss Valentine

00:40:13had also successfully

00:40:14tracked them to the island.

00:40:16Upon entering the forest,

00:40:17they ran into Mr. Three,

00:40:19a smug agent

00:40:20who uses a messy

00:40:21candle wax ability

00:40:22to create weapons.

00:40:23He arrogantly announced

00:40:24that he was taking

00:40:25over the mission.

00:40:26He claimed that Mr. Zero

00:40:28knew the other two

00:40:28were incompetent,

00:40:29so he was stepping in

00:40:31to finish the job.

00:40:32He only let them live

00:40:33so he could use

00:40:33their manual labor

00:40:34for his complex plan

00:40:35to take down the two giants

00:40:37that Luffy's crew

00:40:37had just befriended.

00:40:39Mr. Three knew

00:40:40the giants had a ritual

00:40:41of sharing a drink

00:40:42before their battles,

00:40:43so he ordered Mr. Five

00:40:44to sneak an exploding

00:40:46booger bomb

00:40:46into their wine barrel.

00:40:47From a safe distance,

00:40:49the group consisting of

00:40:50Luffy, Nami, Usopp,

00:40:52and Vivi

00:40:52were excitedly watching

00:40:53the giants' legendary combat,

00:40:55completely unaware

00:40:56of the trap being set.

00:40:57Just as the two elders

00:40:58were about to clash

00:40:59with full force,

00:41:00a strange cloud of smoke

00:41:02suddenly started billowing

00:41:03out of Brogy's mouth

00:41:04after he took a drink,

00:41:05signaling that something

00:41:06had gone horribly wrong.

00:41:07The Straw Hat crew

00:41:09watched in horror.

00:41:10At first,

00:41:11they thought Dory

00:41:12might have cheated,

00:41:13but then they spotted

00:41:14the Baroque Works agents

00:41:15lurking nearby

00:41:16with sinister looks

00:41:17on their faces.

00:41:17They screamed themselves hoarse,

00:41:19trying to warn the giants,

00:41:21but it was useless.

00:41:22Even though Brogy felt

00:41:23something was wrong

00:41:24inside him,

00:41:25his giant pride

00:41:25wouldn't let him

00:41:26back down from a duel.

00:41:28He believed that

00:41:28dying with honor

00:41:29was better than

00:41:29being called a coward,

00:41:31so he pushed

00:41:31through the pain,

00:41:32but Dory hit him

00:41:33with a crushing blow

00:41:34that knocked his friend

00:41:35Brogy flat on the ground.

00:41:36Luffy, however,

00:41:37missed the climax

00:41:38of the fight

00:41:39because he was

00:41:39already sprinting off

00:41:40to chase down

00:41:41those sneaky

00:41:41Baroque Works agents.

00:41:43In the middle of the chaos,

00:41:44Mr. Three's young partner,

00:41:45Miss Goldenweek,

00:41:46stealthily approached Nami.

00:41:47She was the one behind

00:41:48that mysterious tattoo

00:41:50on Zoro earlier,

00:41:51and now Nami was

00:41:52her next target.

00:41:53As soon as the magical

00:41:54paintbrush touched her,

00:41:55things started to get

00:41:56very strange.

00:41:57Both Nami and Zoro

00:41:58suddenly started acting

00:41:59completely dazed

00:42:00as if they were under

00:42:00the influence of something,

00:42:02losing all their will

00:42:03to fight.

00:42:03Seeing her chance,

00:42:04Miss Valentine launched

00:42:05a powerful kick

00:42:06that sent poor Usopp

00:42:08flying into a deep ravine

00:42:09before capturing Nami

00:42:10as easily as picking up

00:42:12a helpless chicken.

00:42:13Usopp landed right in

00:42:14the middle of the battlefield.

00:42:15After picking himself up,

00:42:16he immediately spilled

00:42:17the beans to Dory

00:42:18about the beer being

00:42:19poisoned with explosives

00:42:20by Baroque Works.

00:42:22Hearing the heartbreaking truth

00:42:23that his rival

00:42:24had been sabotaged,

00:42:25Dory was completely

00:42:26devastated by grief.

00:42:28The overwhelming guilt

00:42:29of accidentally dealing

00:42:30a lethal blow

00:42:30to his lifelong friend

00:42:31because of a cheap trick

00:42:32drove him into a frenzy

00:42:34of screams and tears

00:42:35before he disappeared

00:42:36into the jungle.

00:42:37Meanwhile,

00:42:38Luffy was in the middle

00:42:38of a chase

00:42:39when he stopped

00:42:39dead in his tracks,

00:42:41spotting a young girl

00:42:42carrying a tray of paints.

00:42:43His heroic instincts

00:42:45flared up,

00:42:45thinking she might

00:42:46need help.

00:42:47Luffy was about

00:42:48to offer his assistance

00:42:49like a true hero.

00:42:50However,

00:42:50from a distance,

00:42:51Vivi could see

00:42:52right through

00:42:52the enemy's trap

00:42:53and screamed

00:42:54at the top of her lungs

00:42:55for Luffy to get away

00:42:56from there as fast

00:42:57as he possibly could.

00:42:58It was already too late.

00:43:00Luffy fell right

00:43:01into the psychological trap,

00:43:02standing there frozen

00:43:03as he was brought

00:43:04under her control.

00:43:05Seeing the disaster

00:43:06unfold,

00:43:06Vivi tried to bolt,

00:43:07but Mr. Five

00:43:08suddenly appeared

00:43:09and ambushed her.

00:43:09At this point,

00:43:10the crew's only remaining hope

00:43:12rested on Sanji's shoulders.

00:43:13But unfortunately,

00:43:15while his friends

00:43:15were fighting for their lives,

00:43:17Sanji was casually

00:43:18strolling back to the ship,

00:43:20whistling a tune

00:43:20and wondering

00:43:21where everyone had gone.

00:43:22Back at the battle,

00:43:23Luffy was completely trapped

00:43:24by Mr. Three's partner.

00:43:26She was using her magical

00:43:27paint abilities

00:43:28to manipulate him

00:43:28like a puppet.

00:43:29She was forcing him

00:43:30to sit down and play house

00:43:31at a make-believe tea party.

00:43:33Meanwhile,

00:43:33Dory returns to Brogy's cave,

00:43:35wanting to pay his respects

00:43:36to his fallen rival

00:43:37with the proper warrior's farewell.

00:43:39However,

00:43:40he is caught

00:43:40completely off guard

00:43:41when the villainous Mr. Three

00:43:43appears from the shadows

00:43:44to spring his trap.

00:43:46Mr. Three unleashes

00:43:47his wax-wax fruit powers,

00:43:49trapping the giant Dory

00:43:50against the cave wall

00:43:50with a massive amount

00:43:51of hardened wax

00:43:52that is said to be

00:43:53stronger than steel.

00:43:54He completely coats

00:43:55Dory in wax

00:43:56and retreats to his original spot

00:43:58just as Vivi starts to wake up.

00:44:00Vivi regains consciousness

00:44:01only to find herself

00:44:02held captive

00:44:02alongside Nami and Zoro.

00:44:04She quickly realizes

00:44:05that both Nami and Zoro

00:44:06are in a total trance,

00:44:08completely oblivious

00:44:09to the chaos

00:44:10happening around them.

00:44:11Suddenly,

00:44:11Vivi catches sight

00:44:12of a mysterious symbol

00:44:13painted on Nami's leg.

00:44:15So she crawls over

00:44:16and quickly wipes

00:44:17the mark off

00:44:17to break the spell.

00:44:18As soon as the mark is gone,

00:44:20Nami snaps back

00:44:21to her senses immediately.

00:44:22Vivi explains

00:44:23that this hypnotic symbol

00:44:24belongs to Miss Goldenweak,

00:44:26who works with Mr. Three

00:44:27in the Baroque Works organization

00:44:29and it works by hypnotizing

00:44:30anyone the paint touches.

00:44:32Hearing this,

00:44:33Nami desperately tries

00:44:34to reach over

00:44:35and wipe the magic mark

00:44:36off of Zoro's leg

00:44:37to wake him up too.

00:44:38Nami tries to help Zoro,

00:44:40but he just keeps

00:44:40moving away from her

00:44:41while cracking jokes

00:44:42in his dazed state.

00:44:43Vivi informs everyone

00:44:44that they're currently trapped

00:44:45inside Mr. Three's wax shack,

00:44:48explaining that this man

00:44:49possesses a supernatural ability

00:44:50to transform anything

00:44:51he touches

00:44:51into a lifeless wax statue.

00:44:53Vivi can only pray

00:44:54that someone from their crew

00:44:56arrives soon

00:44:57to rescue them.

00:44:58Desperate for a savior,

00:44:59Nami remembers

00:45:00that Usopp fell off the cliff

00:45:01earlier and starts

00:45:02to worry about his safety.

00:45:03When they ask Zoro

00:45:04about Sanji's whereabouts,

00:45:06he just laughs

00:45:06and suggests that Sanji

00:45:07is probably lost

00:45:08somewhere deep in the woods.

00:45:10For a second,

00:45:11Nami feels her hope

00:45:12slipping away.

00:45:13Yet deep down,

00:45:14she remains confident

00:45:15that things will turn around.

00:45:16Nami is sure Luffy

00:45:17will come to the rescue,

00:45:19but Vivi delivers

00:45:20the bad news.

00:45:21Luffy has fallen

00:45:22under the same

00:45:23hypnotic spell

00:45:24as the rest of them.

00:45:25Meanwhile,

00:45:26out in the jungle,

00:45:27Usopp is lurking around

00:45:28and happens to spot

00:45:29Mr. Three having a conversation

00:45:31with Ms. Golden Week.

00:45:32During their talk,

00:45:33Mr. Three receives

00:45:34some very interesting information

00:45:35from his partner.

00:45:36Ms. Golden Week reveals

00:45:38that Luffy is just

00:45:38sitting on the beach

00:45:39and Mr. Three mentions

00:45:41that Nami,

00:45:41Zoro,

00:45:42and Vivi

00:45:42are all locked up

00:45:43in his wax hut.

00:45:44Hearing this,

00:45:45Usopp sprints toward the beach

00:45:46to find Luffy,

00:45:47completely unaware

00:45:48that his captain

00:45:49is under Golden Week's influence.

00:45:51Even when he spots

00:45:52the weird symbol

00:45:52painted on Luffy's face,

00:45:54the gravity of the situation

00:45:55doesn't click for him.

00:45:56Usopp doesn't even think

00:45:57to wipe the mark off.

00:45:59Instead,

00:45:59he keeps shouting

00:46:00that they need to go

00:46:01and save their friends

00:46:02right now.

00:46:03However,

00:46:03Luffy is trapped

00:46:04in a state of overwhelming guilt

00:46:05caused by the specific

00:46:06painting on his face.

00:46:08He's stuck in a loop

00:46:09of self-blame,

00:46:10convinced that everything

00:46:11happening to his crew

00:46:12is entirely his fault

00:46:13and that he's failed them.

00:46:14Believing he'll be the reason

00:46:15they all die,

00:46:16Luffy is unresponsive,

00:46:17so Usopp leaves him

00:46:18to search for Sanji

00:46:19so they can mount

00:46:20a rescue together.

00:46:21While trekking through the forest,

00:46:23Usopp stumbles

00:46:23upon Sanji's clothes

00:46:24discarded on the ground

00:46:25and covered in blood.

00:46:27This horrifying discovery

00:46:28leads Usopp to believe

00:46:29that the Baroque Works gang

00:46:30has managed to capture Sanji

00:46:32as well.

00:46:33Back at the beach,

00:46:34Miss Goldenweak

00:46:34approaches Luffy

00:46:35and sits down,

00:46:36pulling out her toys

00:46:37and complaining

00:46:38that nobody ever plays

00:46:39with her because

00:46:40of her strange powers.

00:46:41Noticing how incredibly

00:46:42sad Luffy looks,

00:46:43she decides to swap

00:46:44his mood by painting

00:46:45a green mark on him

00:46:46and wiping away

00:46:47the blue one,

00:46:48which was the source

00:46:49of his intense sorrow.

00:46:50Luffy tries his hardest

00:46:51to resist her

00:46:51psychological manipulation,

00:46:53but he ultimately fails

00:46:54and ends up doing

00:46:55exactly what she says,

00:46:57even sitting down

00:46:57to drink tea she prepared.

00:46:59Meanwhile,

00:46:59Sanji is still scouting

00:47:00the forest for his crew

00:47:01until he discovers

00:47:02a mysterious white shack.

00:47:04He decides to burst

00:47:05inside to investigate,

00:47:06only to find the place

00:47:07seemingly deserted.

00:47:09Since the shack is empty,

00:47:10Sanji sits down

00:47:11and finds a stack of files

00:47:13containing photos of himself

00:47:14and the rest of Luffy's crew,

00:47:16complete with detailed intel

00:47:17and every member's

00:47:18strengths and weaknesses.

00:47:19He grabs the documents

00:47:20to show the others,

00:47:21but just as he's about to leave,

00:47:23the silence is broken

00:47:24by the sudden ringing

00:47:25of a telephone nearby.

00:47:26Sanji answers the call

00:47:28and quickly realizes

00:47:29he's talking to Mr. Zero,

00:47:30the mysterious big boss

00:47:32of Baroque works.

00:47:33Sanji plays along

00:47:34and keeps the conversation going,

00:47:36benefited by the fact

00:47:37that the transponder snail

00:47:38distorts voices

00:47:39to prevent call tracking.

00:47:40However,

00:47:41it doesn't take long

00:47:42for Mr. Zero

00:47:43to get suspicious

00:47:43that the person

00:47:44on the other end

00:47:45isn't one of his men.

00:47:46Suspicious of the intruder,

00:47:47Mr. Zero dispatches

00:47:48two agents

00:47:49known as the Unluckies,

00:47:50Miss Friday

00:47:51and Mr. 13,

00:47:52to the shack.

00:47:53The moment they spot Sanji,

00:47:54they open fire

00:47:55with their weapons,

00:47:56forcing him to duck back

00:47:57into the hut for cover.

00:47:58Once Sanji manages

00:47:59to get Miss Friday alone,

00:48:00he doesn't hold back,

00:48:02quickly overpowering her

00:48:03and snapping her neck

00:48:04to finish her off.

00:48:05After taking out

00:48:06the first agent,

00:48:06Sanji goes back to the phone

00:48:08and coolly tells Mr. Zero

00:48:10to hold on a second.

00:48:11He puts the boss on hold

00:48:13while he deals with Mr. 13,

00:48:14taking him out

00:48:15with zero effort.

00:48:16Once the second agent

00:48:17is dealt with,

00:48:18Sanji picks the receiver

00:48:19back up to resume his chat

00:48:21with the leader of Baroque works

00:48:22as if nothing happened.

00:48:24Sanji mockingly informs Mr. Zero

00:48:26that his two messengers are dead,

00:48:27which sends the boss

00:48:28into a silent rage.

00:48:30Mr. Zero grabs a nearby flower

00:48:31and makes it wither instantly,

00:48:33giving us a hint

00:48:34that he possesses

00:48:35a deadly devil fruit power

00:48:36that can kill

00:48:37with a single touch.

00:48:38Sanji hangs up and heads out,

00:48:40ready to make his next move.

00:48:41Sanji loots an eternal pose

00:48:43from Miss Friday's remains

00:48:44and sets off to reunite

00:48:45with his crew.

00:48:46Meanwhile,

00:48:47the situation is looking dire

00:48:48as Mr. 3 has captured Zoro,

00:48:50Nami and Vivi,

00:48:51pinning them onto

00:48:52a giant wax cake he created.

00:48:54Miss Valentine and Mr. 5

00:48:55suggest finishing them off

00:48:57right then and there

00:48:57to get the job over with.

00:48:59Mr. 3 stops them,

00:49:00insisting that he wants

00:49:01to enjoy watching

00:49:02his victims suffer first.

00:49:03He commands Mr. 5

00:49:05to light the massive candles

00:49:06on top of the wax cake,

00:49:07causing a fine mist of wax

00:49:09to rain down

00:49:09on the three captives.

00:49:11This sadistic method

00:49:12is designed to slowly

00:49:13encase them in wax,

00:49:14killing them by inches

00:49:15as they watch

00:49:16their own demise.

00:49:17Mr. 3 explains with glee

00:49:19that they are slowly

00:49:19being transformed

00:49:20into permanent wax statues,

00:49:22which he considers

00:49:23the height of artistic pleasure.

00:49:24However,

00:49:25the sharp-eyed Nami

00:49:26notices that Zoro's hands

00:49:28aren't actually stuck

00:49:29in the wax yet,

00:49:30and he still has his swords.

00:49:32Thinking fast,

00:49:33she decides to use her wits

00:49:34to manipulate Mr. 3.

00:49:36Nami insults Mr. 3's

00:49:38artistic integrity,

00:49:39pointing out that Zoro

00:49:40looks like a joke

00:49:41because he's still laughing

00:49:42under the hypnotic spell.

00:49:44Her plan is to provoke

00:49:45Mr. 3 into snapping

00:49:46Zoro out of it

00:49:47so he can fight back.

00:49:49Surprisingly,

00:49:49the plan works.

00:49:51Mr. 3 gets offended

00:49:52and wipes the mark

00:49:52off Zoro's leg

00:49:53to make him a more

00:49:54serious statue.

00:49:55The moment he's free

00:49:56from the trance,

00:49:57Zoro grabs his blade

00:49:58and tries to smash

00:49:59through the wax,

00:50:00but it's far too hard

00:50:00to break.

00:50:01Mr. 3 laughs at their struggle,

00:50:03demanding that Nami

00:50:04finally admit

00:50:05he's a true master artist.

00:50:06Nami feels a wave

00:50:07of frustration

00:50:08as her plan hits a wall.

00:50:10Meanwhile,

00:50:10we cut back to Luffy,

00:50:11where Miss Goldenweak

00:50:12is forcing him

00:50:13toward the ocean.

00:50:14Goldenweak knows

00:50:15that as a Devil Fruit user,

00:50:16the sea is Luffy's

00:50:18absolute weakness

00:50:18and will kill him instantly.

00:50:20Just as things look hopeless,

00:50:22Usopp arrives

00:50:23in the nick of time.

00:50:24He shouts at Luffy

00:50:25to fight through

00:50:25the hypnotic control.

00:50:27This enrages Goldenweak,

00:50:28who starts chasing Usopp

00:50:29to bring him under her spell

00:50:30as well.

00:50:31Usopp pulls off

00:50:32a slick maneuver

00:50:32and manages to evade her,

00:50:34causing Goldenweak

00:50:34to accidentally collide

00:50:35with her own paint.

00:50:36She ends up getting hit

00:50:37right in the face

00:50:38by her own hypnotic colors,

00:50:39trapping her in a cycle

00:50:40she can't easily break.

00:50:42With her distracted,

00:50:43Usopp rushes over to Luffy

00:50:44and helps pull him away

00:50:45from the dangerous seawater.

00:50:47After the close call to water,

00:50:48they rush to help the others,

00:50:50but they find them

00:50:50looking like

00:50:51finished wax statues.

00:50:53Mr. 3 smugly informs Luffy

00:50:55that his friends

00:50:55have less than

00:50:56two minutes of life left.

00:50:57He explains

00:50:58that they are currently

00:50:59surviving on the

00:51:00tiny bit of oxygen

00:51:00remaining in their lungs,

00:51:02and once that's gone,

00:51:03it's game over.

00:51:04Luffy steps up to fight,

00:51:05but Mr. 3 proves

00:51:06he's a total coward

00:51:07by turning tail

00:51:08and sprinting into the jungle.

00:51:10Luffy tells Usopp

00:51:11to focus on saving

00:51:12their friends

00:51:12no matter what,

00:51:13while he takes off

00:51:14after Mr. 3

00:51:15to settle the score

00:51:16once and for all.

00:51:17Left behind at the wax cake,

00:51:19Usopp finds himself

00:51:20in a standoff.

00:51:21Usopp is now facing

00:51:22both Miss Valentine

00:51:23and Mr. 5.

00:51:24He bravely suggests

00:51:26a fair fight,

00:51:27one-on-one,

00:51:28and chooses to take on

00:51:29Miss Valentine first.

00:51:30She's actually thrilled

00:51:31by the challenge,

00:51:33noting that it's been

00:51:33quite a while

00:51:34since she's killed anyone,

00:51:35and she plans to savor

00:51:37every moment of his defeat.

00:51:38Usopp knows

00:51:39he's completely outclassed,

00:51:41but he cleverly goads her

00:51:42into attacking

00:51:43with everything she's got.

00:51:44The sheer impact

00:51:45of Miss Valentine's

00:51:46powerful strikes

00:51:47actually causes the wax

00:51:48encasing his friends

00:51:50to shatter.

00:51:50With the spell broken,

00:51:52Nami and Vivi

00:51:52immediately launch

00:51:53a counterattack on Valentine,

00:51:54sparking a fierce battle.

00:51:56Zoro is ready

00:51:57to take down Mr. 5,

00:51:58but he realizes

00:51:59his feet are still glued

00:52:00to the wax base.

00:52:02Seeing this,

00:52:03Usopp provides cover

00:52:04by peppering Mr. 5

00:52:05with shots

00:52:05from his slingshot.

00:52:07Zoro uses

00:52:08that brief distraction

00:52:08to finally rip his feet free

00:52:10and charges at Mr. 5

00:52:11with his signature lethal speed.

00:52:12Zoro successfully finishes

00:52:14his fight with Mr. 5,

00:52:15just as Nami and Vivi

00:52:16manage to overpower

00:52:17Miss Valentine

00:52:18and knock her out cold.

00:52:19Meanwhile,

00:52:20we check back on Luffy,

00:52:21who is scouring the forest

00:52:22for Mr. 3.

00:52:23When he finally catches up,

00:52:24he's confronted

00:52:25by dozens of identical

00:52:26copies of the villain,

00:52:27so he starts swinging

00:52:29his legs at all of them.

00:52:30Luffy soon realizes

00:52:31he's just punching

00:52:32wax decoys,

00:52:33and more statues

00:52:34of Mr. 3

00:52:35keep popping up

00:52:36throughout the jungle.

00:52:37It's a confusing mess,

00:52:39and Luffy isn't sure

00:52:40how to find the real one.

00:52:41In typical Luffy fashion,

00:52:43he decides the best strategy

00:52:44is to just smash

00:52:45every single statue

00:52:46until the real Mr. 3

00:52:47reveals himself.

00:52:48Once Luffy starts

00:52:49making progress,

00:52:50the real Mr. 3

00:52:51bolts toward Brogy's cave.

00:52:53He lures Luffy

00:52:54into a trap,

00:52:55managing to encase

00:52:56Luffy's hand

00:52:56in a heavy wax hammer

00:52:57to limit his movements.

00:52:59While stuck,

00:53:00Luffy spots the giant Brogy

00:53:01also trapped in wax,

00:53:02and Mr. 3

00:53:03begins to taunt him

00:53:04about how easily

00:53:05he defeated the giant.

00:53:06Luffy's anger

00:53:07reaches its boiling point

00:53:08as he listens

00:53:09to the villains bragging.

00:53:10Gathering all his strength,

00:53:12he uses the very wax hammer

00:53:13meant to restrain him

00:53:14as a weapon,

00:53:15smashing it into Mr. 3

00:53:16with incredible force.

00:53:18The blow

00:53:18knocks Mr. 3 out instantly.

00:53:20Luffy then turns

00:53:21his attention

00:53:21to the giant Dory

00:53:22who is still pinned

00:53:23by the wax.

00:53:24Luffy decides

00:53:25to free the giant

00:53:25and then heads back

00:53:26to reunite

00:53:27with the rest of the crew.

00:53:28Overjoyed to see

00:53:29that everyone

00:53:29has escaped

00:53:30their wax prisons,

00:53:31Sanji arrives shortly after

00:53:32and hands Nami

00:53:33the eternal pose

00:53:34he took from Miss Friday earlier.

00:53:36Upon inspecting it,

00:53:37Nami is relieved

00:53:38to see it's functioning perfectly.

00:53:40The compass is set

00:53:41specifically

00:53:41for the kingdom of Alabasta.

00:53:43Just then,

00:53:44Dory the giant approaches

00:53:45and offers a sincere

00:53:46thank you to Luffy

00:53:47for saving his life.

00:53:49Sanji is absolutely stunned

00:53:50when he sees

00:53:51the massive warrior,

00:53:52as he had no idea

00:53:53there were actually giants

00:53:54living on this island.

00:53:56After the introductions,

00:53:57the crew prepares to depart.

00:53:58Luffy and the crew

00:53:59head back to their ship

00:54:00happy to see Dory

00:54:01and Brogy finally settling

00:54:02their differences.

00:54:04After a warm farewell

00:54:05to their giant friends,

00:54:06they set sail for Alabasta.

00:54:08Vivi is beaming with joy

00:54:09when Luffy reassures her

00:54:11that they are prioritizing

00:54:12her kingdom

00:54:12above everything else.

00:54:13Their departure

00:54:14is suddenly interrupted

00:54:15by a gargantuan sea monster

00:54:17rising from the depths.

00:54:18Seeing their friends in trouble,

00:54:20Dory and Brogy combine

00:54:21their strength

00:54:22for a massive joint attack.

00:54:24The power of their strike

00:54:25is so intense,

00:54:26it literally carves a hole

00:54:28through the monster's body,

00:54:29allowing Luffy and the crew

00:54:30to sail the going Mary

00:54:31right through the beast.

00:54:33Back at the Wack Shack,

00:54:34Miss Valentine

00:54:35is laying into Mr. Three,

00:54:36blaming him for the entire failure

00:54:37because he ignored her advice

00:54:39to kill the Straw Hats immediately.

00:54:41Suddenly,

00:54:41the transponder snail

00:54:43starts ringing.

00:54:44Mr. Three begins to panic,

00:54:46knowing that Mr. Zero

00:54:47is on the other end,

00:54:48surely demanding

00:54:48a status update

00:54:49on their mission.

00:54:50If the boss finds out

00:54:51he failed,

00:54:52Mr. Three knows

00:54:53he's a dead man.

00:54:54Miss Valentine

00:54:55tries to answer the call

00:54:56to tell the truth,

00:54:57but Mr. Three reacts instantly,

00:54:59using his powers

00:55:00to turn her into a wax statue

00:55:02so she can't rat him out.

00:55:03Later that night,

00:55:04Luffy and the rest of the crew

00:55:05are seen celebrating

00:55:06their hard-won victory

00:55:07over the Baroque Works agents.

00:55:09As the crew enjoys

00:55:10a celebratory dinner,

00:55:12Nami mentions to Luffy

00:55:13that she's feeling

00:55:14a bit under the weather

00:55:15and decides to head

00:55:16to her cabin early.

00:55:17However,

00:55:17as she reaches the deck,

00:55:19her condition takes

00:55:19a sudden turn

00:55:20for the worse.

00:55:21She collapses

00:55:22and loses consciousness

00:55:23right then and there,

00:55:24leaving everyone

00:55:25in a state of alarm.

00:55:26Now we cut to Miss All Sunday

00:55:27who's taking a call

00:55:28for Mr. Zero

00:55:29regarding a specific

00:55:30secret mission.

00:55:31We see that she's currently

00:55:32in the company

00:55:33of a man named Waple,

00:55:34the former king

00:55:35of the Drum Kingdom.

00:55:37Waple is clearly irritated

00:55:38because Mr. Zero refuses

00:55:40to meet with him personally.

00:55:41Waple isn't happy

00:55:42about having to deal

00:55:43with Miss All Sunday

00:55:44instead of the boss himself,

00:55:46but she calmly explains

00:55:47that Mr. Zero

00:55:48is far too busy.

00:55:50This makes Waple even angrier.

00:55:52He rants about

00:55:52how much money

00:55:53he's poured into Baroque Works

00:55:54and demands they start

00:55:55showing some appreciation.

00:55:57Miss All Sunday

00:55:58simply tells him

00:55:59to relax and keep his cool.

00:56:00To quiet him down,

00:56:01she presents him

00:56:02with the devil fruit,

00:56:03stating it's a personal gift

00:56:04from Mr. Zero.

00:56:05Waple's mood flips

00:56:06instantly to excitement,

00:56:07knowing the legendary power

00:56:08these fruits hold.

00:56:09He curiously asks Miss All Sunday

00:56:11exactly what kind of power

00:56:13he'll gain,

00:56:13but she mysteriously tells him

00:56:15he'll just have to eat it

00:56:16and find out for himself.

00:56:17After she leaves,

00:56:18we return to the ship

00:56:19where Nami is finally waking up.

00:56:21Sanji is there by her side

00:56:23and she's shocked to learn

00:56:24she's been unconscious

00:56:25for four whole days.

00:56:26Her concern turns to horror

00:56:28when she notices

00:56:29the veins in her body

00:56:30are starting to turn

00:56:30a dark, ominous black.

00:56:32But Sanji tries his best

00:56:34to stay positive.

00:56:35Sanji promises Nami

00:56:36that they will find a cure

00:56:37for whatever is happening to her,

00:56:39urging her to get more rest.

00:56:41He then gathers the rest

00:56:42of the crew on deck

00:56:43to deliver the grim news.

00:56:44Nami's condition is critical

00:56:46and they need to find

00:56:47a doctor immediately.

00:56:48Vivi points out

00:56:49that her kingdom

00:56:49is still quite far away

00:56:51and Nami might not survive the trip.

00:56:53Vivi suggests

00:56:53that the best course of action

00:56:55is to pull over

00:56:55at the very next island

00:56:56they find

00:56:57to seek medical help.

00:56:58Everyone agrees

00:56:59it's the right move.

00:57:01Meanwhile,

00:57:01on an island named Rain Base,

00:57:03which houses

00:57:03a marine communications hub,

00:57:05we see Captain Smoker

00:57:06and Tashigi

00:57:07arriving with a very specific

00:57:08goal in mind.

00:57:09Smoker and Tashigi

00:57:10are there to intercept

00:57:11and monitor the communications

00:57:13between Baroque works agents,

00:57:14hoping to pinpoint their locations

00:57:15and make some arrests.

00:57:17It's revealed that Smoker

00:57:18plans to keep any findings secret

00:57:20from his superiors

00:57:21because he's obsessed

00:57:21with tracking down

00:57:22Luffy's crew first.

00:57:24Smoker's primary goal

00:57:25is to catch the Straw Hats himself.

00:57:27As they walk through the base,

00:57:29Tashigi trips over the body

00:57:30of a fallen marine soldier.

00:57:32Examining the wounds,

00:57:33they determine the soldier

00:57:34was killed by a sword,

00:57:35leading Smoker to suspect

00:57:36that Roranoa Zora

00:57:38might be responsible

00:57:38for the attack on the facility.

00:57:40Smoker is genuinely puzzled

00:57:42about why Luffy's crew

00:57:43would suddenly decide

00:57:43to raid a marine communications outpost.

00:57:46Regardless,

00:57:46he heads deeper into the base

00:57:48to investigate the damage himself,

00:57:50instructing Tashigi

00:57:51to contact marine headquarters

00:57:52and report the incident

00:57:53so they can send over

00:57:54some reinforcements.

00:57:56Upon entering the comms room,

00:57:57Smoker finds all the equipment

00:57:58completely trashed.

00:58:00Suddenly,

00:58:01a Baroque works agent

00:58:02named Miss Thursday

00:58:03appears before him.

00:58:04Realizing that the criminal organization,

00:58:06not Luffy's crew,

00:58:07is actually responsible

00:58:09for the destruction,

00:58:10Smoker prepares to use

00:58:11his smoke powers

00:58:12to end the confrontation.

00:58:13Things move incredibly fast from here.

00:58:15At that very moment,

00:58:16Tashigi bursts into

00:58:17the commander's office

00:58:18only to find him

00:58:19lying there lifeless.

00:58:21Suddenly,

00:58:21a Baroque works agent

00:58:22known as Mr. Eleven

00:58:23appears right before her eyes,

00:58:25wielding a sword.

00:58:26It instantly clicks for Tashigi.

00:58:28This is the man

00:58:28who murdered the commander

00:58:29and the guard

00:58:30she found outside the base.

00:58:32Without a single moment

00:58:32of hesitation,

00:58:33she launches an attack

00:58:34and a fierce battle

00:58:35breaks out between them.

00:58:37Tashigi manages to land

00:58:38a powerful blow

00:58:39that knocks him out cold.

00:58:40Just then,

00:58:41Smoker enters the room

00:58:42and informs her

00:58:43that they have taken down

00:58:44another member

00:58:45of the dangerous

00:58:45Baroque works organization,

00:58:47the same group

00:58:48responsible for destroying

00:58:49the communication base.

00:58:51Smoker insists

00:58:51that they must uncover

00:58:52the underlying motive

00:58:53for these attacks.

00:58:55Meanwhile,

00:58:55Luffy and his crew

00:58:56finally spawn an island

00:58:57ahead of them.

00:58:58Vivi explains

00:58:59that this is the Drum Kingdom,

00:59:00but she makes

00:59:01a very serious request.

00:59:02They must not mention

00:59:03to anyone

00:59:03that she is actually

00:59:04the princess of her own kingdom.

00:59:06The reason for her secrecy

00:59:07is King Waple,

00:59:09who has a massive,

00:59:10long-standing grudge

00:59:11against her kingdom

00:59:11and would surely harm her

00:59:13if he discovered

00:59:13she was there.

00:59:14Despite her fear,

00:59:15Vivi tells the crew

00:59:16they have no other choice

00:59:17but to land.

00:59:18This island is famous

00:59:19for its skilled doctors,

00:59:21and they are Nami's

00:59:22only hope for a full recovery.

00:59:23To understand the tension

00:59:25between Vivi

00:59:26and the Drum Kingdom,

00:59:27we have to look back

00:59:28ten years into the past.

00:59:30Back then,

00:59:30a young Vivi

00:59:31was peeking through a window,

00:59:32watching a high-stakes meeting

00:59:33of the world government.

00:59:35It was a massive gathering

00:59:36attended by some of

00:59:37the most powerful leaders

00:59:38on the planet.

00:59:39Among the attendees

00:59:39were Vivi's father

00:59:40and the arrogant

00:59:41King Waple

00:59:42of the Drum Kingdom.

00:59:43The head of the meeting

00:59:44was discussing

00:59:45the grave threat

00:59:46posed by Dragon,

00:59:47the leader of the

00:59:47Revolutionary Army

00:59:48who was upsetting

00:59:49the balance of power

00:59:50between nations.

00:59:51Fun fact,

00:59:52Dragon is actually

00:59:52the one keeping an eye

00:59:53on Luffy's crew.

00:59:54As it turns out,

00:59:55Dragon is actual

00:59:56Luffy's father.

00:59:57During the council,

00:59:58King Waple dismisses

00:59:59the concerns,

01:00:00boastfully claiming

01:00:01that he rules his kingdom

01:00:02with an iron fist

01:00:03and that his people

01:00:04would never dare

01:00:04to question him.

01:00:05It's at this moment

01:00:06that Vivi watches

01:00:07her own father,

01:00:08King Cobra,

01:00:09step in to challenge

01:00:10that mindset.

01:00:11King Cobra argues

01:00:12that a true ruler

01:00:13must treat his subjects

01:00:13with kindness and respect.

01:00:15This infuriates Waple,

01:00:17who starts screaming

01:00:17at Cobra,

01:00:18leading to a heated

01:00:19confrontation

01:00:19between the two kings.

01:00:21Fast forward back

01:00:21to the present day,

01:00:22where Luffy's crew

01:00:23is just arriving

01:00:24at the shores

01:00:24of the Drum Kingdom.

01:00:25They are immediately

01:00:26greeted with gunfire

01:00:27from behind the kingdom's gates

01:00:28because the locals

01:00:29are definitely not

01:00:30welcoming to pirates.

01:00:32Vivi actually gets hit

01:00:33in the shoulder

01:00:33during the chaos.

01:00:34Luffy loses his temper

01:00:36and prepares to smash

01:00:37the gates down.

01:00:38But Vivi stops him

01:00:39just in time,

01:00:39realizing that fighting back

01:00:41isn't the answer.

01:00:42Vivi insists that violence

01:00:43won't get them

01:00:44what they need.

01:00:45She humbly apologizes

01:00:46to the guards,

01:00:47explaining that they

01:00:47desperately need medical attention

01:00:49for their sick friend.

01:00:50The gates finally open

01:00:51and Dalton,

01:00:52the captain of the royal guard,

01:00:53steps out.

01:00:54He allows them entry

01:00:55and offers a sincere apology

01:00:57for the hostile reception

01:00:58they received.

01:00:58When Luffy mentions

01:00:59they need a doctor

01:01:00for Nami,

01:01:01Dalton reveals

01:01:02a grim reality.

01:01:03There is only one doctor

01:01:04left in the entire kingdom.

01:01:06King Waple took

01:01:07all the others with him.

01:01:08This doctor,

01:01:09a woman named Kureha,

01:01:11lives in a castle

01:01:12perched at the very peak

01:01:13of a mountain.

01:01:14However,

01:01:15a local named Maria

01:01:16gives them a chilling warning.

01:01:17Maria warns them

01:01:18that Kureha

01:01:19is more like a witch

01:01:20who uses very bizarre methods

01:01:21to treat her patients.

01:01:23Despite the scary rumors,

01:01:25Luffy is determined

01:01:26to get Nami

01:01:27the help she needs.

01:01:28He decides to scale

01:01:29the mountain himself

01:01:30with Sanji's help,

01:01:31while Zoro stays behind

01:01:32with Vivi.

01:01:33Luffy hoists Nami

01:01:34onto his back

01:01:34to begin the climb.

01:01:36Luffy and Sanji

01:01:37start the grueling ascent

01:01:38up the mountain

01:01:38to reach Dr. Kureha.

01:01:40During the climb,

01:01:41a massive storm hits

01:01:42making things

01:01:43incredibly dangerous.

01:01:44At one point,

01:01:45Sanji actually falls,

01:01:46but Luffy uses his powers

01:01:48to stretch out

01:01:48and catch him.

01:01:49He gathers every bit

01:01:50of strength he has left

01:01:51to make sure

01:01:52they all keep moving upward.

01:01:54With a final surge of effort,

01:01:55Luffy manages

01:01:56to get them to the very top,

01:01:57though he is completely exhausted

01:01:59and on the verge

01:01:59of passing out.

01:02:00Just as his vision

01:02:01begins to fade,

01:02:02he is startled

01:02:03to see the legs

01:02:04of some kind of creature nearby.

01:02:06Using his last breath,

01:02:07he begs the creature

01:02:08to save his friends

01:02:09before he finally collapses.

01:02:11Hours later,

01:02:12Nami finally wakes up

01:02:13and finds herself

01:02:14in a room

01:02:14that looks like a hospital.

01:02:16She realizes

01:02:16she is hooked up to an IV

01:02:17and feels significantly better

01:02:19than before.

01:02:20However,

01:02:21her relief turns to worry

01:02:21the moment you spot Sanji

01:02:23lying unconscious

01:02:23in the bed right next to her.

01:02:25Suddenly,

01:02:25a tiny reindeer named Chopper

01:02:27enters the room.

01:02:28When Nami calls out to him,

01:02:29he gets spooked

01:02:30and tries to hide,

01:02:31though he still keeps a shy eye

01:02:33on her from a distance.

01:02:34Right at that moment,

01:02:36Dr. Kariha walks in

01:02:37and explains that she is

01:02:38the one responsible

01:02:39for treating Nami

01:02:40and saving her life.

01:02:41Kariha reassures Nami

01:02:42that her condition

01:02:43has stabilized,

01:02:44explaining that she had

01:02:45contracted a deadly infection

01:02:47from a rare insect bite.

01:02:48The doctor begins

01:02:49discussing medical details

01:02:50with Chopper,

01:02:51who clearly knows his stuff.

01:02:53Nami,

01:02:53still concerned

01:02:54for her crewmates,

01:02:55asks if Luffy and Sanji

01:02:57are going to be

01:02:57alright as well.

01:02:59Kariha mentions that Sanji

01:03:00is dealing with a couple

01:03:01of broken ribs

01:03:02but is being well cared for.

01:03:03Before Nami can even

01:03:04ask about Luffy,

01:03:06he bursts into the room yelling.

01:03:07He bursts into the room yelling.

01:03:09He's convinced Kariha

01:03:10is a total lunatic

01:03:11who wanted to feed them

01:03:12to her pet monster.

01:03:14Luffy's shouting is so loud

01:03:15that it actually wakes Sanji

01:03:16up from his rest.

01:03:17Sanji ignores Luffy's rambling

01:03:19because he's just so happy

01:03:20to see that Nami

01:03:21is finally back on her feet.

01:03:23Kariha patiently explains

01:03:24to Luffy that she was actually

01:03:25performing medical treatments

01:03:26on him,

01:03:27prompting a clumsy apology

01:03:28from the captain.

01:03:29Luffy realizes he overreacted

01:03:31and takes a moment

01:03:31to properly thank Kariha

01:03:32for saving Nami.

01:03:34After Luffy apologizes

01:03:35for his behavior,

01:03:36he spots Chopper

01:03:37and is immediately fascinated

01:03:38by the little reindeer.

01:03:39Nami mentions

01:03:40that she is absolutely starving,

01:03:42so Kariha instructs Chopper

01:03:43to show the boys

01:03:44where the kitchen is

01:03:45so they can whip up a meal

01:03:46using whatever supplies

01:03:48are available in the castle.

01:03:49While Sanji and Luffy

01:03:50are busy preparing food

01:03:51for Nami,

01:03:52they notice Chopper

01:03:53watching them intensely

01:03:54from the shadows.

01:03:55They try to invite him

01:03:56over to chat,

01:03:57but he's too shy

01:03:57and stays in his hiding spot.

01:03:59While exploring,

01:04:00Luffy happens to find

01:04:01an old pirate flag

01:04:02tucked away inside a box nearby.

01:04:04The moment Luffy

01:04:05touches a flag,

01:04:06Chopper gets surprisingly angry

01:04:07and snatches it away,

01:04:08stuffing it back into the box

01:04:09before walking off

01:04:10looking heartbroken.

01:04:11Later that night

01:04:12during dinner,

01:04:13a curious Luffy

01:04:14asks Kariha

01:04:15why Chopper is so sad

01:04:16and what the story is

01:04:17behind that mysterious

01:04:18pirate flag he found.

01:04:19Kariha begins to recount

01:04:21Chopper's emotional backstory.

01:04:22We flashback several years

01:04:24to a time when Kariha

01:04:25was constantly on the run

01:04:26from the king's soldiers.

01:04:28King Wapol had ordered

01:04:29the arrest of every doctor

01:04:30in the land

01:04:31so he could keep them

01:04:31locked in his palace

01:04:32for his own personal health needs.

01:04:34During those days,

01:04:35we meet a man named

01:04:36Dr. Hiraluk

01:04:37who was also hiding

01:04:38from the royal guards.

01:04:40It's clear that he and Kariha

01:04:41didn't see eye to eye

01:04:42on medicine

01:04:43and they even got into

01:04:44a loud argument

01:04:45about their conflicting methods.

01:04:47After they parted ways,

01:04:48Hiraluk spotted

01:04:49some very strange looking

01:04:50footprints in the snow.

01:04:51Hiraluk followed the tracks

01:04:53until he discovered

01:04:53a young Chopper

01:04:54who was badly injured.

01:04:56The doctor tried to

01:04:57approach him to help

01:04:57but Chopper was terrified

01:04:59and fought him off

01:04:59with everything he had

01:05:00until he eventually

01:05:01collapsed from exhaustion.

01:05:02The next day,

01:05:03Chopper finally woke up

01:05:04in a safe place.

01:05:05Chopper realized

01:05:06he was lying in a bed

01:05:07inside Hiraluk's home.

01:05:09When the doctor asked

01:05:10how he was feeling,

01:05:11he was absolutely stunned

01:05:12when Chopper answered him

01:05:13in human speech.

01:05:14Hiraluk realized the truth

01:05:15and asked if the reindeer

01:05:16had accidentally eaten

01:05:17the devil fruit,

01:05:18a question that left

01:05:19Chopper confused.

01:05:21Chopper explained

01:05:21that he had just been hungry

01:05:22and didn't realize

01:05:23what he was eating.

01:05:24He also revealed

01:05:25a painful truth.

01:05:26Whenever he gets angry,

01:05:27he transforms

01:05:28into a giant monster,

01:05:29which is why humans

01:05:30have always hunted

01:05:31and shot at him.

01:05:33Hiraluk listened

01:05:33as Chopper described

01:05:34how he returns to normal

01:05:35once he calms down.

01:05:37Hiraluk explained

01:05:38that the devil fruit

01:05:39had granted him

01:05:39extraordinary abilities.

01:05:41When asked about his family,

01:05:43Chopper sadly shared

01:05:43that he was an outcast

01:05:44because of his blue nose.

01:05:46Hiraluk,

01:05:47feeling a deep connection

01:05:48to the lonely creature,

01:05:49decided to adopt

01:05:50and promising to be

01:05:51his friend and teacher.

01:05:52The two lived together happily,

01:05:54with Hiraluk teaching Chopper

01:05:55everything about medicine

01:05:56and gathering herbs

01:05:57from the forest.

01:05:58One day,

01:05:59Chopper asked about

01:06:00the pirate flag

01:06:01hanging on the wall

01:06:02and the strange

01:06:03red fruit symbol on it.

01:06:04Hiraluk confessed

01:06:05that in his younger days,

01:06:06he'd actually been

01:06:07a pirate himself.

01:06:08He shared a miracle story.

01:06:10He once had

01:06:11a terminal illness

01:06:12but was cured simply

01:06:13by the sight

01:06:13of cherry blossoms.

01:06:14Knowing no one

01:06:15would believe such a tale,

01:06:16he kept it as his own secret

01:06:18and decided to make

01:06:19the cherry blossom

01:06:19the symbol on his flag,

01:06:21believing it represented

01:06:22a hope stronger

01:06:23than any disease.

01:06:25To Hiraluk,

01:06:26the pirate flag

01:06:26wasn't a symbol of death,

01:06:28but a banner

01:06:28for fighting sickness

01:06:29using nature's gifts.

01:06:31He spent his days

01:06:32conducting endless experiments,

01:06:34desperate to find

01:06:35a universal cure

01:06:36that could heal any ailment.

01:06:37Despite many failures,

01:06:39he never stopped searching

01:06:40for that perfect formula.

01:06:41One day,

01:06:42while walking back

01:06:42from the shore,

01:06:44Hiraluk suddenly told Chopper

01:06:45to go away,

01:06:46claiming he was cured

01:06:47and didn't need him anymore.

01:06:48Chopper was absolutely

01:06:49devastated and confused,

01:06:51unable to believe

01:06:52his friend was abandoning him.

01:06:54He pleaded to stay,

01:06:55but Hiraluk was firm

01:06:56and pushed him away.

01:06:58Hiraluk retreated

01:06:58into his house

01:06:59and slammed the door shut.

01:07:00Chopper collapsed outside,

01:07:02begging to be let back in,

01:07:03unaware that Hiraluk

01:07:04was crying on the other side,

01:07:06asking for forgiveness.

01:07:08Heartbroken,

01:07:08Chopper finally left.

01:07:10The next day,

01:07:11he watched the house

01:07:11from a distance

01:07:12and saw a surprising visitor.

01:07:14Chopper saw Dr. Kureha

01:07:15examining Hiraluk

01:07:16and realized the truth.

01:07:18The doctor was dying

01:07:19of a terminal illness.

01:07:20He had pushed Chopper away

01:07:22because he didn't want

01:07:22the little reindeer

01:07:23to witness his painful

01:07:24final moments.

01:07:25Hiraluk begged Kureha

01:07:27to look after Chopper

01:07:28once he was gone

01:07:28and to finish his life's work.

01:07:30He wanted her

01:07:31to continue his research

01:07:32until a true cure

01:07:33for humanity was found.

01:07:34Although Kureha felt for him,

01:07:36she hated seeing him

01:07:38so defeated.

01:07:39She told him

01:07:39that he wasn't dead yet

01:07:40and that he should be the one

01:07:42to complete his experiments

01:07:43and find the cure

01:07:44with his own hands.

01:07:45Inspired,

01:07:46Hiraluk spent the next day

01:07:47working feverishly

01:07:48on his formula

01:07:48and finally believed

01:07:49he had succeeded.

01:07:50Just then,

01:07:51a battered and bruised

01:07:52Chopper burst into the room.

01:07:54He was clutching

01:07:55a specific mushroom

01:07:56in his hand

01:07:56the fabled

01:07:57magical mushroom people

01:07:58whispered about.

01:07:59Chopper explained

01:08:00that he had braved

01:08:01the dangerous Death Valley

01:08:02just to get that mushroom

01:08:03to save his friend.

01:08:05Touched by the gesture,

01:08:06Hiraluk embraced him

01:08:07and thanked him.

01:08:08He then ate the mushroom

01:08:09telling Chopper

01:08:09that he immediately felt

01:08:10his health and strength

01:08:11returning to him.

01:08:12Hiraluk said he needed

01:08:13to go to the king's palace

01:08:14to check on the other doctors.

01:08:16After he left,

01:08:17Kureha arrived

01:08:18looking for him.

01:08:19When Chopper told her

01:08:20that Hiraluk had gone

01:08:21to the palace,

01:08:22she was shocked.

01:08:23Knowing how incredibly ill

01:08:24he actually was

01:08:25and wondering how he had

01:08:26the strength to walk,

01:08:27Chopper excitedly told her

01:08:29that Hiraluk was cured

01:08:30because of the mushroom

01:08:31had no cure.

01:08:32She demanded to see

01:08:33what kind of mushroom it was.

01:08:34So Chopper pointed it out

01:08:36in a book,

01:08:37explaining that Hiraluk

01:08:38told him the symbol on it

01:08:40meant it was a healer.

01:08:41Kureha lost her temper

01:08:42and shouted at Chopper

01:08:43revealing a terrifying truth.

01:08:45He had misread the book.

01:08:47That symbol actually meant

01:08:48the mushroom was highly poisonous.

01:08:50Chopper was in total denial

01:08:51arguing that it couldn't be true

01:08:53since Hiraluk ate it

01:08:54and said he felt much better.

01:08:56Kureha broke the news

01:08:56that Hiraluk had sacrificed himself

01:08:58just to spare Chopper's feelings

01:09:00after seeing how hard

01:09:02he had fought

01:09:02to find that mushroom.

01:09:03She added that Hiraluk

01:09:04was on a suicide mission

01:09:05to the palace

01:09:06to save the other doctors

01:09:07from Waple.

01:09:08Chopper burst into tears

01:09:09and ran as fast as he could

01:09:10toward the palace.

01:09:11Meanwhile,

01:09:12Hiraluk had reached the palace

01:09:13and was using explosives

01:09:14to fight his way

01:09:15through the guards.

01:09:16He finally confronted King Waple

01:09:18demanding that the king

01:09:19release the imprisoned doctors

01:09:20so they could go back

01:09:21to serving the people

01:09:22of the kingdom

01:09:22who desperately needed them.

01:09:24Waple refused

01:09:25and ordered Hiraluk's

01:09:26immediate execution.

01:09:27Before the guards could act,

01:09:29Hiraluk stopped them

01:09:30and gave a final message

01:09:31to Dalton.

01:09:32He told him that a monster

01:09:33would soon arrive,

01:09:34but he begged Dalton

01:09:35not to harm it,

01:09:36explaining that the creature

01:09:37was actually his son

01:09:38and a peaceful being.

01:09:40Without warning,

01:09:41Hiraluk set off explosives

01:09:43from his bag,

01:09:44choosing to end his own life

01:09:45on his own terms.

01:09:47Waple just laughed

01:09:48mockingly at the scene

01:09:49and ordered Dalton

01:09:50to find and kill

01:09:52Hiraluk's son.

01:09:53Just as the smoke cleared,

01:09:54Chopper arrived at the palace gates.

01:09:56When Chopper saw Hiraluk's hat

01:09:58lying on the ground,

01:09:59he knew his mentor was gone.

01:10:01Blinded by rage,

01:10:03he transformed into

01:10:04a massive beast

01:10:05ready to tear Waple apart.

01:10:07Dalton stepped in,

01:10:08managing to calm him down

01:10:09by explaining Hiraluk's

01:10:11final request

01:10:11and urging him to flee

01:10:13so his father's sacrifice

01:10:14wouldn't be in vain.

01:10:15Moved by Dalton's words,

01:10:17Chopper retreated

01:10:18and ran back

01:10:19to Hiraluk's home.

01:10:20Once there,

01:10:21he begged Dr. Kariha

01:10:22to take him in

01:10:23and teach him

01:10:23everything about medicine,

01:10:25vowing to fulfill

01:10:26Hiraluk's dream

01:10:27of becoming a great doctor.

01:10:28And that, my friend,

01:10:30is the tragic story

01:10:31of how Chopper

01:10:31became who he is.

01:10:33Back in the present,

01:10:34Luffy and the crew

01:10:35are visibly moved

01:10:36by the story.

01:10:37Luffy stands up,

01:10:38walks over to Chopper

01:10:39and takes Hiraluk's

01:10:40old pirate flag,

01:10:41proudly hanging it

01:10:42back up on the wall.

01:10:43Chopper watches

01:10:44in absolute awe

01:10:45as Luffy demonstrates

01:10:46his amazing

01:10:46stretching abilities.

01:10:47Chopper admits

01:10:48that he also ate

01:10:49a devil fruit

01:10:49and transformed

01:10:50into a monster,

01:10:51just like Luffy.

01:10:52Luffy insists

01:10:53that the flag

01:10:54should never be hidden

01:10:54in a box again

01:10:55and encourages Chopper

01:10:57to honor Hiraluk's memory

01:10:58by pursuing the dream

01:10:59of healing everyone

01:11:00in the world.

01:11:00A small smile forms

01:11:02on Chopper's face

01:11:03as he promises

01:11:03to follow that path.

01:11:05Meanwhile,

01:11:06down below,

01:11:06Dalton is with

01:11:07Zoro and Usopp.

01:11:08He notices a plume

01:11:09of smoke rising

01:11:10from the mountainside

01:11:11and realizes

01:11:12someone has set up

01:11:13a camp,

01:11:13which is strange

01:11:14since no new boats

01:11:15have arrived at the harbor.

01:11:16Dalton decides

01:11:17to investigate

01:11:18the mysterious camp

01:11:19immediately.

01:11:20Before heading out,

01:11:21he tells Zoro

01:11:22that the safety

01:11:23of the kingdom

01:11:23and its people

01:11:24is in his hands

01:11:25until he returns.

01:11:26At the same time,

01:11:27Vivi is walking

01:11:28through the village

01:11:28and kindly offers

01:11:29her own gloves

01:11:30to some local children

01:11:31who are shivering

01:11:32in the cold.

01:11:33Vivi's gentle moment

01:11:34is interrupted

01:11:34by a shock.

01:11:35She spots Miss Sunday

01:11:36from Baroque work

01:11:37standing right there

01:11:38among the villagers.

01:11:39The mysterious woman

01:11:40vanishes into the crowd,

01:11:41prompting Vivi

01:11:42to chase after her.

01:11:43When she finally

01:11:44catches up,

01:11:45Vivi demands

01:11:45to know what

01:11:46her endgame is.

01:11:48Vivi asks

01:11:48what she could possibly

01:11:49gain by working

01:11:50for a madman

01:11:51like Mr. Zero.

01:11:52Sunday cryptically

01:11:53replies that it's

01:11:54personal business.

01:11:55She also warns Vivi

01:11:56that Waple has gained

01:11:57monstrous powers

01:11:58from Devil Fruit

01:11:59and has an army

01:12:00of soldiers

01:12:00that no ordinary person

01:12:02could hope to defeat.

01:12:03Sunday challenges Vivi

01:12:04to show her

01:12:05how she and Luffy's crew

01:12:06plan to protect

01:12:06the kingdom

01:12:07before walking away.

01:12:09Meanwhile,

01:12:09Dalton reaches

01:12:10the mountain camp.

01:12:11As he nears

01:12:12the source of the smoke,

01:12:13he is suddenly

01:12:13ambushed and struck

01:12:14by three arrows

01:12:15causing him to collapse

01:12:16in the snow.

01:12:17It turns out

01:12:18Waple's men

01:12:18were the ones

01:12:19who staged the ambush.

01:12:20They drag the wounded

01:12:21Dalton to Waple

01:12:22and Dalton is horrified

01:12:24to see that the king

01:12:24has transformed

01:12:25into a bizarre

01:12:26metallic beast.

01:12:27He realizes Waple

01:12:28ate a Devil Fruit

01:12:29that allows him

01:12:30to become whatever

01:12:30he consumes.

01:12:31Waple can literally

01:12:33turn his body

01:12:33into a weapon

01:12:34based on what he eats.

01:12:36Dalton transforms

01:12:37into his beast form

01:12:38to fight back,

01:12:39declaring that Waple

01:12:40is no longer

01:12:41fit to rule.

01:12:42However,

01:12:43Waple stabs him

01:12:43in the shoulder

01:12:44and then disturbingly

01:12:45begins spitting out

01:12:46an army of mutated

01:12:47soldiers from his mouth

01:12:48to take over the land.

01:12:50Down in the village,

01:12:51Zorro and Usopp

01:12:51spot these metallic

01:12:52monsters approaching.

01:12:53They immediately

01:12:54start evacuating

01:12:55and hiding the villagers.

01:12:57Vivi arrives

01:12:57and shares the warnings

01:12:58from Miss Sunday,

01:12:59making it clear

01:13:00that these oncoming beasts

01:13:01are actually Waple's

01:13:03specialized soldiers.

01:13:04Zorro takes his promised

01:13:05Dalton seriously

01:13:06and prepares for battle.

01:13:07He tells Usopp

01:13:08to head up the mound

01:13:09to get Luffy

01:13:10but Vivi insists

01:13:11on going herself.

01:13:12She argues that

01:13:13Zorro and Usopp

01:13:14are the strongest fighters

01:13:15and need to stay behind

01:13:16to hold the line

01:13:17against the invaders.

01:13:18Usopp gives Vivi

01:13:19a special climbing tool

01:13:20he invented

01:13:21to help her scale

01:13:22the peak quickly.

01:13:23She successfully

01:13:24reaches the top

01:13:24and breaks the news

01:13:25about the attack

01:13:26to Luffy.

01:13:27Without missing a beat,

01:13:28Luffy prepares

01:13:28to head back down

01:13:29and take on Waple

01:13:30and his army of freaks.

01:13:32Correja tells Chopper

01:13:33they should pack up

01:13:34and run

01:13:34but Chopper firmly refuses.

01:13:36He feels it's his duty

01:13:38to stay and protect the people.

01:13:39Correja leaves him

01:13:40to his choice

01:13:41and, on her way down,

01:13:42finds the injured Dalton.

01:13:43Initially,

01:13:44she's reluctant

01:13:45to ambush him from behind

01:13:46but she changes her mind

01:13:48after hearing him speak.

01:13:49When Dalton quotes

01:13:50the late Hyruleuk,

01:13:51Correja has moved to tears

01:13:52and decides to treat his wounds.

01:13:54Meanwhile,

01:13:55the battle in the village

01:13:56is going poorly.

01:13:57The monsters

01:13:58are overwhelming everyone.

01:13:59One of the metallic beasts

01:14:01is just seconds away

01:14:02from killing

01:14:02a defenseless village woman.

01:14:04Dalton appears out of nowhere

01:14:05and saves the woman

01:14:06just in time.

01:14:07Usopp watches in amazement

01:14:09as Dalton utilizes

01:14:10his own beast transformation

01:14:11to fight.

01:14:12Dalton then spots

01:14:13another monster

01:14:14targeting Maria

01:14:15and her group,

01:14:16leaping into action

01:14:17to take the creature

01:14:18down permanently.

01:14:19Just as a monster

01:14:19grabs Usopp

01:14:20and prepares

01:14:21to finish him off,

01:14:22Dr. Correja arrives

01:14:23and blasts the creature

01:14:24with fire to save him.

01:14:26Back at the mountain castle,

01:14:27things take a turn

01:14:28for the worse

01:14:28when Waple sneaks inside

01:14:30using a hidden passage

01:14:31catching the crew off guard.

01:14:32Waple targets

01:14:33Hyruleuk's pirate flag

01:14:34with a cannon blast,

01:14:36but Luffy leaps into the air

01:14:37and blocks the shot

01:14:38with his own body

01:14:39to protect the symbol.

01:14:40The crew is horrified

01:14:41to see Luffy take such a hit

01:14:43while Waple mocks

01:14:44and calling him a fool

01:14:45for risking his life

01:14:46for a piece of cloth.

01:14:47Weipole is stunned

01:14:48when Luffy emerges

01:14:49from the smoke

01:14:49still standing.

01:14:51Luffy declares

01:14:51that the flag

01:14:52is precious

01:14:53to his friend Chopper

01:14:54and that's why

01:14:54he'll never let it be destroyed.

01:14:56He stands tall,

01:14:57ready to settle the score

01:14:58with Waple once and for all.

01:15:00Weipole transforms

01:15:01his hand into a saw

01:15:02to try and cut Luffy down,

01:15:03but Luffy dodges

01:15:04the strikes with ease.

01:15:05However,

01:15:05Waple eventually corners

01:15:07and pushing him aside.

01:15:08Just as things look dire,

01:15:09Sanji provides an opening

01:15:10and Luffy uses

01:15:11his stretching ability

01:15:12to reposition himself.

01:15:13Luffy pulls himself back

01:15:15and launches

01:15:15a devastating counterattack

01:15:17that sends Waple

01:15:17flying right out of the castle.

01:15:20Down in the village,

01:15:21the monsters surrounding Zoro

01:15:22and the people

01:15:23suddenly lose their strength

01:15:24and revert back

01:15:25into normal humans.

01:15:27The threat has finally

01:15:28been neutralized.

01:15:29The soldiers surrender

01:15:30now that Waple's control

01:15:31over them is broken.

01:15:32Peace finally returns

01:15:34to the Drum Kingdom.

01:15:35Kureha visits

01:15:36the formerly imprisoned doctors

01:15:37to tell them

01:15:38that the nightmare is over

01:15:39and that they must now

01:15:40get to work

01:15:41healing the six citizens.

01:15:42Kureha leads Zoro,

01:15:43Dalton, and Usa

01:15:44back up to the castle

01:15:45through the secret passage.

01:15:47They reunite

01:15:48with Luffy and Vivi

01:15:49and everyone is relieved

01:15:50to hear that Waple

01:15:51has been defeated.

01:15:52The kingdom is finally free

01:15:53from the Tyrant's shadow

01:15:54thanks to the Straw Hat crew.

01:15:56The crew is introduced

01:15:57to Chopper

01:15:58and Luffy officially invites

01:15:59him to join them

01:16:00as their ship's doctor.

01:16:01Overwhelmed with joy

01:16:02at finally being accepted,

01:16:04Chopper agrees

01:16:05to join the journey.

01:16:06He shares a heartfelt goodbye

01:16:07with Kureha.

01:16:08Thanking her for everything

01:16:09she taught him,

01:16:10Dalton offers his sincere thanks

01:16:11to the crew

01:16:12for saving his home.

01:16:13As they prepare to leave,

01:16:15Chopper surprises them

01:16:16by pulling a large sled.

01:16:17He invites everyone

01:16:18to Hoppa in,

01:16:19explaining that he'll use it

01:16:20to help them all

01:16:20to send the mountain quickly

01:16:21and reach their ship.

01:16:23Dalton bids them farewell

01:16:24as they head out.

01:16:25When they finally reach

01:16:27the going Mary,

01:16:28Chopper is wide-eyed

01:16:29with wonder.

01:16:30It's his very first time

01:16:32seeing a real pirate ship.

01:16:33As they set sail,

01:16:35Chopper takes one long,

01:16:36final look

01:16:37at the kingdom

01:16:38he's leaving behind.

01:16:39Usopp comforts him,

01:16:40saying they all felt that way

01:16:41when they first left home.

01:16:43Nami brings Chopper

01:16:44a medical bag

01:16:45that Kureha left for him.

01:16:46Inside,

01:16:47he finds a mysterious,

01:16:48brightly colored ball.

01:16:49When Nami asks what it is,

01:16:51Chopper just gives her

01:16:52a knowing smile.

01:16:53Chopper tells Nami

01:16:54that the ball

01:16:55is a medical secret of his.

01:16:56Meanwhile,

01:16:57back at the castle,

01:16:58Dalton brings Kureha

01:16:59a massive cannon

01:17:00she requested,

01:17:01though he's completely baffled

01:17:02as to why she would

01:17:03ever need such a thing.

01:17:04Little does he know,

01:17:05she's about to fulfill

01:17:06a promise.

01:17:07Kureha reveals that

01:17:08Hyruleuk actually succeeded

01:17:09in creating a cure-all.

01:17:11She loads a special canister

01:17:12into the cannon

01:17:13and fires it

01:17:14into the atmosphere.

01:17:15Suddenly,

01:17:16the sky is filled

01:17:16with a pink powder

01:17:17that lips exactly

01:17:18like falling cherry blossoms,

01:17:20coating the snowy island

01:17:21in beauty.

01:17:22As the pink snow falls,

01:17:24Chopper remembers Hyruleuk's

01:17:25dream of the cherry blossoms

01:17:26that could heal

01:17:27a sick heart.

01:17:28He breaks down

01:17:29in tears of joy

01:17:30and sorrow.

01:17:31Sorrow gently lifts him

01:17:32onto his shoulder

01:17:33to comfort him

01:17:33while the rest of the crew

01:17:34watches the beautiful scene

01:17:35in silence.

01:17:36The next day,

01:17:37the crew throws a big party

01:17:38to welcome Chopper

01:17:39to the team.

01:17:40He's clearly having

01:17:41the time of his life

01:17:42with his new friends.

01:17:43However,

01:17:44Nami notices

01:17:44that Vivi looks

01:17:45a bit downcast,

01:17:46likely because she knows

01:17:48she'll eventually

01:17:48have to leave then

01:17:49to save her own kingdom.

01:17:50Luffy reassures Vivi

01:17:51promising that they won't

01:17:52stop until Baroque Works

01:17:54is defeated

01:17:54and Alabasta is safe.

01:17:56The whole crew

01:17:57chimes in to support her,

01:17:59making Vivi feel like

01:18:00a true member

01:18:00of their family.

01:18:01They are all in this

01:18:02together until the very end.

01:18:04Meanwhile,

01:18:05Smoker and Tashigi

01:18:06manage to intercept

01:18:07a call between

01:18:08Sanji and Mr. Zero.

01:18:09Tashigi recognize

01:18:10Sanji's voice

01:18:11and they realize

01:18:12that Princess Vivi

01:18:13is traveling

01:18:13with the Straw Hats.

01:18:15They know Crocodile

01:18:16will be gunning for her

01:18:17now that she knows

01:18:17his true identity.

01:18:18Smoker and Tashigi

01:18:19decide to head

01:18:19straight for Alabasta

01:18:20to find out

01:18:21what Vivi knows.

01:18:22At the same time,

01:18:24Miss Sunday

01:18:24and Mr. Zero

01:18:25are meeting

01:18:25to discuss their next move.

01:18:27Sunday reports

01:18:28the latest news,

01:18:29including the fact

01:18:30that King Waple

01:18:30is no longer

01:18:31a factor in their plans.

01:18:32Luffy's crew

01:18:33has successfully

01:18:34taken Wapal

01:18:34out of the picture.

01:18:36Mr. Zero,

01:18:37revealed to be

01:18:38the formidable

01:18:38Sir Crocodile,

01:18:39tells Sunday

01:18:40to prepare

01:18:41for the final phase

01:18:42of their operation

01:18:42in Alabasta.

01:18:44He even addresses her

01:18:45by her real name

01:18:46for the very first time.

01:18:47Her name is

01:18:48Nika Robin

01:18:48and she has a massive bounty

01:18:50of 79 million berries

01:18:51on her head.
