Usopp/History/Non-Canon

==East Blue Saga==
===One Piece: The Movie===
On the Going Merry, while the crew are starving to death due to Luffy eating all the provisions, a group of thieves came to steal their treasure supplies. As Luffy wrecked their getaway boat, which had a kid who was the hostage of the thieves, a pirate ship led by a ferocious man named Eldoraggo, appeared. The thieves worked for his pirate crew, so, Eldoraggo, using his Devil Fruit ability, while aiming at Luffy, destroyed the thieves' getaway boat. Luffy and the kid fell in the sea, and Zoro jumped in to save them. As a result, Luffy and Zoro were separated from Nami and Usopp. While Nami disappeared, Usopp was immediately found and captured by Eldoraggo and his crew along with the Merry, as they reach the Isle of Gold, unaware that Nami has managed to stow away on their ship.
Under the threat of death from Eldoraggo's mercenary, Golass, Usopp rashly offers to decipher the legendary pirate Woonan's map. As they reach the shore, Usopp is forced to help guide Eldoraggo and his crew to look for Woonan's gold, and as the group finds a valley holding a massive castle, Nami shows up and helps Usopp stall by claiming that the gold is buried several days deep. This backfires, however, as Eldoraggo simply begins using his powers to level the area. Luffy was able to find Eldoraggo and his crew with all the commotion, and while chained with Zoro, tries to fight Eldoraggo. As they fight, Luffy makes a mistake that sends him, Zoro and Tobio flying into a distant hill. While Eldoraggo and his crew look on in confusion, Nami and Usopp quietly slip away as well.
As the four Straw Hats regroup on the hill, Nami picks the lock on Luffy and Zoro's chains, and reveals that she has stolen Woonan's map as well. As the group tries to decipher the map and Nami accidentally burns it, Usopp remembers a pivotal (and initially misinterpreted) clue from the map that leads them to the island's most prominent feature: a long, steep plateau. They all went to find it, and while climbing a mountain, they found Tobio's grandfather Ganzo, who turned out to be a childhood friend of Woonan's, and realized where the treasure was. Luffy and company eventually found a house at the top of the mountain, but shortly afterwards they were attacked by Eldoraggo and his pirate crew (who had worked out the same reasoning as Usopp). Usopp and the others watch as Luffy eventually defeat Eldoraggo.
With Eldoraggo's crew defeated, the group went inside the house, hoping to find Woonan and the treasure in a hidden chamber inside. It turned out it was the resting place of Woonan himself and that he returned all the gold he stole to its rightful owners. Luffy and the Straw Hats bid farewell to Tobio and Gonzo and sailed away to their next adventure.
===Luffy Falls! Adventure in the Uncharted Ocean's Navel===
It's another peaceful day aboard the Going Merry, and Nami begins to yell at Luffy for urinating in the ocean. Nami watches Luffy while he is on fishing duty and can't believe how naïve he is. When he catches something big, it starts to drag the ship backwards instead of forward. Eventually, the fishing line gets caught on a rocky crater, with a chest chained to it.
Luffy is disappointed that it wasn't something to eat, but Nami is more interested in finding out what's inside the chest. She opens it only to find a skull inside. Usopp reads the back of the skull, which has an engraving about a treasure that can make anyone's dream come true. It lies deep in the Ocean's Navel. Then a large hole begins to form near the crater they crashed into, so Usopp, Nami, and Sanji prepare themselves in a diving barrel to explore the cavity in the sea. Luffy is put in charge of the rope crank. 
The ride is smooth until Luffy gets distracted with a message in a bottle, causing the diving barrel to fall faster into the naval. As the barrel falls faster, Usopp panics and tells Luffy that they are in danger, as Luffy manages to get the rope in time, with the barrel barely crashing into the surface of the naval. The trio leave the barrel and find themselves in a ship graveyard, where they are met by a talking laughing bat who says he will guide them to the treasure. While the bat explains the treasure and Captain Joke to them, Usopp and Nami realize that a monster is after them, but are saved when Sanji begins to fight it off. As Sanji is fighting the monster off, The Going Merry falls onto the monster, killing it. As Sanji tries to recover from fighting the monster, Usopp and Nami decide to go ahead to find the treasure.
Eventually the two reach the top of the mountain where the treasure is said to be. As the reach the top, they are attacked again by another monster, until Luffy along with a boy named Hamu show up. Luffy fights the monster while Usopp and Nami leave to go to the cave, and after so motivation from Luffy, a scared Hamu leaves as well. After Luffy takes the monster down, the four of them enter the cave together, where they find a room where Joke's body is. As Joke begins to come back from the dead, Luffy is too tired to fight, so Usopp, Nami and Hamu decide to fight him off instead. Unfortunately, they are easily defeated by Joke. Despite this, Hamu continued to fight back as Jock mocked him, giving the straw hats the opportunity to hold down Joke's arms and legs, allowing Hamu to finish Joke off.
Later as the Straw Hats leave the island, Hamu realizes that he hadn't asked them their names, and simply looks at the Straw Hats' ship and smiles, as the Straw Hats sail off toward their next adventure.
===Clockwork Island Adventure===
Having found a sunny, peaceful island in the midst of their voyage, the Straw Hat Pirates disembark and relax on the beach together. Their relaxing day is ruined when Luffy not only go on about a toy windmill that he finds on the beach, but later when Luffy sees The Going Merry sailing away, as the ship has been stolen to everyone’s shock.
With no possessions and forced to rent a small paddleboat and clothes from a nearby wedding shop, the crew chases their ship, only to run into a boy floating in the water. After stopping to help, they are caught in a net, realizing that the boy, Akisu lured them into a trap alongside his brother, another thief named Borodo. After seeing that they had nothing to steal, the pair let the straw hats go and introduced themselves. Then they explained that they were planning to steal the legendary Diamond Clock, which is located on Clockwork Island, which is where the Going Merry is currently headed. When asked why, the brothers explained that the Island was taken over by the Trump Pirates which is led by a pirate named Bear King, and that they are the ones who took their ship. As they began explaining who the Trump Pirates were and how big of fleet they had, the group soon became surrounded by a part of the fleet.
The fleet was commanded by two members of the Trump Pirates, Boo Jack and Honey Queen, who soon corners the brothers' boat. Despite Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji happily fighting back, Usopp frantically rows the boat away when the pirates almost capsize them all, accidentally causing Akisu to drop a music box in the sea, and causing Akisu to force Usopp to stop so Borodo can retrieve it. Borodo manages to get the box, but the Trump Pirates catch up as a result, destroying the boat, and even kidnapping Nami to be their captain's new bride.
After salvaging enough of the boat to make a raft, the remaining Straw Hats, along with Akizu and Borodo, make their way to Clockwork Island, and listen to Akisu's past. As they arrive, they see a small, barren rock in the sea, which Borodo explains is the entrance to the Island. Atop this rock stands a huge spiral staircase, stretching far beyond the clouds. This staircase leads to the "true" Clockwork Island, a hill town full of scientists and engineers. The hill is topped by a great castle, which houses the delicate engine keeping the island stable; for seven years, Bear King has commandeered it as his base, Trump Castle, using the people of the island to build a weapon powerful enough to help him become the king of the pirates, the King Cannon. As they go up the staircase, they storm through trap after trap, and eventually they reach the top of the staircase, although everyone is extremely exhausted.
As Borodo spots both the Diamond Clock and the Going Merry at the top of the castle, the group decides to go into town first for food and clothes. After finding both, they soon meet the town's chief engineers, who explain the town's current situation and tells the group to leave while they still can. Despite them telling the group to leave, they head straight to the castle by parasail, but are attacked by the Trump Pirates again, this time being separated from Sanji, who falls into a hill filled with landmines and is quickly captured after. Upset by what had just happened, Akisu and Usopp begin accusing each other of cowardice, but Luffy interrupts their argument and taunts Akisu into acting braver, as he storms the gates.
As the group is met with hundred's of the Trump Pirates' foot-soldiers, Luffy and Zoro quickly make short work of them, with Usopp and the Thief Brothers right behind them. The group is soon attacked by another member of the Trump Pirates, Skunk One, who begins spraying a noxious "devil-gas" that begins to paralyze them. As the only one not immediately effected, Usopp decides to hurl himself towards him so the others can continue moving forward inside the castle, leaving him at the mercy of Skunk One, being captured in the process, and crucified alongside a captured and beaten Sanji. Later on, Zoro is also captured and crucified, and the Bear King threatens to test the King Cannon on the three captured straw hats to Nami. As he prepares the cannon, Borodo shows up and tries to fight him. While Borodo and later Akisu is being beaten by Bear King for their actions, Luffy reaches the top, and he randomly grabs a stick of dynamite and "plays" with it, causing everyone to freak out and make Luffy toss it away, causing an explosion, which accidentally frees the rest of the Straw Hats. 
After being freed, the Straw Hats, despite being upset by Luffy's antics, rally for another fight with the Trump Pirates, with Usopp running towards the Going Merry, with Skunk One in pursuit. As they race to the castle harbor, Usopp boards the Going Merry, recovering Sanji's shoes, Zoro's swords, and his own slingshot, and throws the former items down to Zoro and Sanji so they can fight at full strength. Usopp attacked him with his Hissatsu Tamago Boshi, sending a rotten egg straight into Skunk One's face. This caused Skunk One to fall to the floor while complaining about how he couldn't stand smelly things. Now angry, Skunk One corners Usopp, positioning his gas launcher right above Usopp, who is seemingly terrified. However, a smiling Usopp reveals that he was waiting for this moment, as he had only been pretending to lure him closer. Usopp then fires a Kaen Boshi right into the gas launcher's mouth, causing the tank to burst and Skunk One to explode into flames, as he falls head first right to the ground.
As the Straw Hats defeat the members of the Trump Pirates, Luffy gets into an intense fight with the Bear King, who ends up using the King Cannon on Luffy. This backfired as Luffy caught the bullet and shot it back at the Bear King, sending him crashing into the King Cannon and through the floors of the castle. As the Bear King was defeated and the impact from Luffy's attack using the King Cannon's bullet caused the island to collapse, the townspeople watched as the castle and hill collapsed. Zoro and the others got onboard the Going Merry and made a dangerous escape attempt using a large piece of canvas as an emergency parachute, which did lead to them landing back into the water safely. With the island destroyed, the islanders pledge to seize the future that the Thief Brothers and the Straw Hats staked their lives for, and build a new homeland elsewhere on the sea. Hearing this, and the crew sees an alive Akisu, who is quickly reunited with his mother, who was one of the chief engineers, after seeing this, Borodo decides to leave Akisu with his real family.
As they leave the ruins of Clockwork Island, the Straw Hats and Borodo quietly sail their separate ways. Despite the Straw Hats' questions, Borodo tearfully insists that he and Akisu can't stay together anymore now that he's found his real family. Despite this, Akisu boards Borodo's boat and shocks everyone by stating that not even his blood family can erase what he truly is: a man of the sea, and Borodo's brother. As the two tearfully reunite, the Straw Hats happily sail away, ready for their next adventure.
===Loguetown Arc===
===Warship Island Arc===
Back on the Going Merry, Luffy asks Nami if they reached the Grand Line yet, and she tells him no. Usopp then spots a flock of birds off their starboard side and Luffy sees something in the water and stretches his hand out to grab what he thinks will be a fish. The crew are all surprised when he pulls in a girl instead and accidentally knocks Zoro off the edge of the boat. The girl is unconscious but wakes up when she smells Sanji's cooking. After learning that she is on a pirate ship, she freaks out and refuses to eat any food given to her.
Later in the night, Usopp and the rest of the crew are awoken to both Luffy and the girl in the kitchen, after being reassured that they were not evil and would let her take what she wants to eat, the girl introduced herself as Apis the next morning after making everyone breakfast. She tells them that she is from Warship Island, but refuses to tell them why she is being chased by the Marines. After a Marine ship begins attacking the Going Merry, the crew manage to avoid and escape the Marines, but only to end up stranded in the Calm Belt.
The Merry ends up atop the head of a Sea King as the crew are surrounded entirely by them, freaking Usopp out. After Apis manages to pull out the Sea King's nostril hair, it sneezes, causing the Going Merry to be blown back out of the calm belt into the regular seas, with a terrified Usopp happy to be back in normal waters. After this, the group start sailing to Warship Island to take Apis home. As they reach the port, Apis had to persuade the locals not to attack the Straw Hats, telling them that they were the ones who rescued her. After doing so, Apis' grandfather, Bokuden shows up, and tells Apis to come home, and invites the Straw Hats for dinner. While waiting, the group asks Bokuden why the Marines are after Apis, to which he asks Apis the same question, only for her to refuse to answer. Bokuden then tells them about the island's old legend about the Lost Island, the millennial dragons, a substance called Dragonite, and the Elixir of Immortality.
A day later, Luffy and Nami come back with Apis after following her at night. They tell the others the truth about why the Marines are after Apis, and they tell them about her pendant and about the millennial dragon Ryu. With Luffy wanting to help Apis and Ryu, the crew prepare to get the two of them off the island before the Marines show up. Unfortunately, the Marines of the 8th Branch, led by Nelson Royale already have the island surrounded, and they even have a mercenary by the name of Eric hunting the two. Everyone splits into groups, Usopp and Zoro move the ship into position, Nami and Apis get Ryu onto a cart, and Luffy and Sanji fight off the Marines. Despite all this, the group still have trouble shaking off Eric, as he hunts them with his Kama Kama no Mi, but manage to lose him in a mirage.
After Usopp spots a way in, they go into the mirage, and the crew spot an island hidden in the mirage and go towards it. After reaching the island, Ryu is still unsure if the island they are on is the Lost Island, so they go to the top of the mountain to find the Dragon's nest. Instead, they find a building with a dragon emblem. While trying to find the entrance, they end up falling down into a underground temple. With everyone examining the temple ceiling and its paintings, Nami comes to the conclusion that the Lost Island is actually hidden beneath Warship Island, and a sleeping Ryu wakes up and confirms her theory. As Eric shows up, Usopp and the others flee with Apis and Ryu, while Zoro holds him off. When they make it back to the ship, Luffy stretches his arm and pulls Zoro back onto the ship. The crew then escape Eric and sail out of the mirage.
Even after the crew escape the island and make it the Lost Islands' coordinates, Nelson's fleet manage to blockade them, with Eric and lieutenant Hardy's ship closing in. When the ship becomes blockaded with giant chains, the crew starts to board the Marines ships to kick the Marines out. While the crew tried to get rid of the chains, Eric comes and takes Ryu and Apis, an angry Ryu knocks Eric into the water after knocking Apis back. As Ryu starts to finally fly, Nelson has his ship fire several cannonballs at Ryu, to everyone horror. As this happens, Ryu lets out one final roar, leading to the Lost Island rising from the ocean, and multiple dragons flying from it. As the crew gets out of the chains and the blockade, they make it to the island with Apis, he listens to Nami explain the meaning of the island's name, as well as learn that the so-called substance called dragonite meant for creating the Elixir of Immortality was in fact the fossils of ancient sennenryus. After Luffy destroys Nelson's Ship, he gets on land and makes it to the others, after which he tells Apis Ryu's final message to her; that when the dragons die, they are reborn in the nest. Seconds later, a baby dragon hatches from an egg, with the baby supposedly being a reborn Ryu. The baby screeches at Apis, and she cries happily agreeing with what it's telling her. 
Unfortunately, both Nelson and Eric show up, however an angry Eric slashes Nelson and proposes a deal with the straw hats. He states that he wants to split the dragonite and the immortality with them, but a critical Nami points out that the fossilized sennenryus that make up the dragonite couldn't possibly be used to make the Elixir. That's when Eric states that the alive sennenryus could, which upsets Apis, who runs towards him out of anger. As Eric tries to attack her, Usopp and Zoro protect her, and Luffy tells them all to stop, and that he’ll be the one to beat him. As promised, Luffy does succeed in taking Eric down.
As the Straw Hats get ready to leave Warship Island again, they are met by Apis and Bokuden. Luffy asks Apis if she wants to come with them, to which she replies that she would like to but she will stay in the village to protect the Dragon's Nest. The Straw Hats set sail and say goodbye. Then Usopp asks the rest of the crew if Apis will be fine and Sanji, Luffy and Zoro all say that she will be okay. As the Straw Hats finally reach the entrance to the Grand Line, they have a rough time going through Reverse Mountain, which is made even worse by Eric showing back up and telling them that if any of them move and he will tear the ship apart. Nami warns him that there is Dragonite besides him, and he falls for it and she kicks his leg, throwing him to the current. With Eric officially gone, the crew celebrate as they enter the Grand Line.
==Arabasta Saga==
===Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals===
Following a lead from an old treasure map, the Straw Hats set sail for O-Kan Island, with everyone ready for a new adventure; except Chopper, who worries over every possible danger. While the others tease Chopper, the Going Merry suddenly begins shaking. Rushing above-deck, the Straw Hats find the sea erupting with dozens of massive geysers, one of which directly strikes the Merry and launches it high into the air. In midair, the crew can see the entirety of the island, and the crown-like ring of steam its surrounding geysers produce, but then the ship starts to fall and crash land on the island, accidentally knocking Chopper off the ship in the process. 
As Chopper vanishes in the forest, the others land in the far-off shore, with several bizarre animals surrounding them, including a Bald Parrot. The crew was taken aback when the Parrot started speaking english, but then listened as he explained that he was the elder of the island, and the island was filled with animals as intelligent as him. He then explains that for years, the creatures of the island lived peacefully under the rule of the Kirin Lion, but their ruler passed away and now the kingdom needs a new ruler, one that falls in line of an ancient prophecy. 
After listening to the story, the crew hears a celebration happening in the mountains, and they go to investigate, with Usopp giving everyone animal themed disguises to blend in. On the way though, the celebrating is cut short by the arrival of the island's natural predators, the Horn Eaters, a herd of armored beasts. As everyone runs away, Luffy gets targeted by the beasts due to his costume having fake horns. Panicked, Luffy snaps them off, but throws them straight ahead, leading the Horn-Eaters to trample him anyways, with the others watching annoyed.
Later, the Straw Hats stumble across a cliff-side camp where the Horn-Eaters have been trapping and trampling scores of horned animals. They soon come to learn that the beasts are being controlled by a man named Battler, who's collecting horns in an attempt to find a treasure on the island said to have power that could shake worlds. Realizing that he told the Straw Hats too much, he controls the Horn Eaters with a special hypnotic violin and orders them to attack, unfortunately Luffy was also affected by the hypnotic music and goes on a rampage knocking himself and the crew over a cliff and into a crocodile filled river. Once Luffy is out of range, he grabs everyone and breaks their fall with his rubber body. 
Recovering on a log, the crew then see dozens of dehorned animals on the riverbanks. Realizing how much damage Battler has already done, the crew start to worry more about Chopper, while doing that, they notice the Bald Parrot from earlier flying above. They ask for his help, and he agrees to take them to the mountain to meet the new king of the beasts, unaware that they are being followed by Battler and his men, Heaby and Hotdog. Once they reach the top of the mountain, however, they are surprised to learn that the new king is Chopper, and while Chopper is happy to see them, Mobambi; the only human resident of the island, and a talking bird named Karasuke, who thinks they are invaders, and asks Chopper to fight them. Chopper tells the animals that the Straw Hats are safe, and so he leads the Straw Hats over to a great feast so they can eat together. Mobambi demands what's so great about the Straw Hats, and when the animals hear that they are pirates and when Luffy asked for meat, the animals flee in terror thinking Luffy is going to eat them. Nami asks Karasuke about the treasure of O-Kan Island, but Usopp says that they should just grab Chopper and leave.
Then, a large blast is heard from the distance so the Straw Hats and the animals go to see what is going on. They see Battler and his men down below, and he states that the power he is looking for is in the horns of the King of the Beasts. Battler demands that they tell him where the king is and starts playing his violin, so the Horn Eaters start charging. An angry Chopper leaps down and lands in front of Battler declaring himself as the King. Battler stops playing the violin, unconvinced by Chopper's words. Chopper tells him to stop attacking the animals and to call off the Horn Eaters, but Battler says he will only if Chopper beats him. Luffy tries to help, butt is unable to leave the entrance, due to eating too much and becoming fat, which ended up blocking Zoro and Sanji as well. Meanwhile, Usopp takes out his Usopp Boomerang and hurls it at Battler, but Battler leans back to avoid it. Chopper then charges at the Horn Eaters, then turns to run, leading them away from the strange animals at the cliff above. He runs off into the woods, the Horn Eaters giving chase. 
Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy arrive, and Zoro and Sanji run off to go help Chopper. Luffy says that Mobambi should go help too, but Mobambi says that he is not strong enough, remembering that he was helpless when his father was killed by pirates. Usopp consoles Mobambi by telling him that it does not matter if one is strong or not. Luffy, Usopp, and Nami then run off to go after Chopper, with them eventually reaching a path, running across fragile stone columns which collapse under their feet as they try to catch up to Chopper. As Zoro and Sanji begin there battles against Heaby and Hotdog, Chopper tries to get away from Battler, with Luffy, Usopp and Nami arriving in time to help.
Battler begins to play his violin, hypnotizing Luffy, but Nami and Usopp yell in his ears to snap him out of it. The Horn Eaters are still hypnotized, though, and they charge at Nami, Usopp, and Luffy, sending Luffy flying. Usopp and Chopper continue to run from the Horn Eaters, and Nami calls to them from ahead. Usopp sees that Chopper is becoming tired, so he kicks Chopper to safety, then takes out his Usopp Boomerang, holding it like horns in front of his head, and uses it to taunt the Horn Eaters. He runs and then casts the boomerang away, making the Horn Eaters chase after it. Nami tells Usopp to fire some gunpowder at the pile of boulders on top of the nearby cliff, so Usopp does so and the Horn Eaters are contained, surrounded by boulders on all sides. While they are doing this, Luffy saves Mobambi and Karasuke from Battler, who has now gotten the power of Kirin Lion's Horns, and Luffy proceeds to fight the now monstrous Battler. 
After Luffy defeats Battler everyone celebrates, and Mobambi thanks Luffy, but says that he will probably have to leave the island for taking the Kirin Lion's horns. Mobambi apologizes to the animals for what he did, but they place the Animal King crown upon his head, declaring him as a hero. Mobambi asks Chopper to stay with them on the island, but Chopper replies that he is a pirate. Suddenly, there are more underwater eruptions, and a great bell begins to ring as the wind blows. The smoke around the island suddenly takes the shape of a golden crown, and the animals are shocked to see that the heavens have acknowledged Mobambi as the new Animal King. Chopper says that he and Mobambi can still be friends despite going different ways, and so they both begin to cry, as it is time for them to say goodbye, and then later that night, everyone has a party. The next day, the Straw Hats talk about the great party they had after the defeat of Battler, and as they leave the island, Usopp jokes with Chopper about possibly seeing some monsters next, and Luffy happily yells that they will just keep moving, full steam ahead.

===Post-Arabasta Arc===
===Episode of Arabasta: The Desert Princess and the Pirates===
Vivi wakes up on the Going Merry to find Luffy and Usopp fishing with Karoo as bait, and she punishes them by bashing their heads together. They pull up a mysterious okama, who appears extremely grateful to be saved by pirates he does not know. The man reveals that he cannot swim because he ate the Mane Mane no Mi, which allows him to change himself into anyone he has touched the face of. He adds that he can also remember these faces, which allows him to take on the faces of those he touched before, showing several faces to the crew, one of which is Vivi's father Cobra, the king of Arabasta. The man then leaves as his crew arrives to pick him up, declaring the Straw Hats his friends despite not knowing them for long. As he leaves, he is called Mr. 2 Bon Kurei by his crew.
When Vivi realizes that the man was a member of Baroque Works and that he could turn into her father, she reveals that Arabasta Kingdom is in a drought, and her father, King Nefertari Cobra had been framed for using Dance Powder, which forces rain onto the region it is used on at the expense of places downwind, for the capital. She states that the leader of Baroque Works is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who is considered a hero in Arabasta for protecting the nation from pirates. In order to prove their identity should Mr. 2 transform into any of them, the crew each draw an X on their wrists and covers it with a bandage, which they will take off to prove their identity.
The crew reach Yuba, a ghost town that had once been a prosperous oasis before sandstorms ravaged it, causing many of the people to join the rebellion. They encounter an old man named Toto, who is the father of the rebellion's leader, Koza, a childhood friend of Vivi's. As the sun rises, Toto gives Luffy some of the water he dug up. During their travel, Luffy declares that he quits, saying that even if the rebels stop, the threat will continue as long as Crocodile is alive. He adds that Vivi is naïve to think that they can prevent everyone from dying in the battle, and he urges her to, rather than risk only her life, let them help her, which she agrees to. After this, the crew befriend a camel named Matsuge, and they begin to ride his Crab friend, Hasami. Vivi then thanks Luffy for helping her see the truth, and promises him a feast after they save the kingdom.
Crocodile ambushes them almost immediately, using his devil fruit powers to reach and capture Vivi. Pell then shows up and attacks Crocodile and while he fails to injure him, manages to make him let go of Vivi. Crocodile's assistant, Miss All-Sunday uses her powers to ground Pell, then uses Clutch to severely wound him. Luffy intervenes, stretching out and throwing Vivi atop Hasami, staying behind to fight Crocodile. As the rest of the crew go on without Luffy, Baroque Works' Officer Agents lie in wait, but the crew splits up as decoys for Vivi, allowing her to escape and try to stop the rebellion. Usopp and Chopper end up fighting together against Mr.4, his dog Lassoo and his partner Miss Merry Christmas. Usopp and Chopper have difficulty dealing with Mr. 4 and his exploding baseballs, and the Officer Agents tell them that Luffy has been killed by Crocodile. Despite being heavily wounded after being struck by Mr. 4's four-ton bat, Usopp manages to trick Mr. 4 into hitting Miss Merry Christmas with his bat, then hits him with a hammer fired from a slingshot attached to Chopper's antlers. The two are knocked away from the fight by an exploding baseball detonating nearby, ending the battle.
After Luffy and Pell save Vivi, the rest of the crew get to regroup, and they attempt to retrace Crocodile's steps to find a bomb he placed in the city that will take everyone out, while Pell searches from the air. They discover its location in the clock tower and is guarded by Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day, who shoot Pell from the sky. The crew are left with less than one minute, and they work together to launch Vivi into the clock tower, where she easily defeats Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day and cuts the fuse, only to discover that it's a time bomb and cannot be disarmed. Pell, however, shows at the last minute and carries the bomb high above Alubarna, sacrificing himself in the process. As the crew watch Vivi try to stop the fighting, they then see Crocodile fly through the sky and lands in the main square, defeated, knowing that their captain has won. As the fighting finally stops, Cobra then brings Luffy to his crew. The crew then collapse from their injuries and rest in the palace as Vivi stays up, watching the rain.
Three days later, Luffy awakens from his coma, and the crew enjoys a feast for helping save the kingdom. As they eat, Chaka then arrives, informing them that Marine ships have come for the Straw Hats. Nami tells Vivi that she can come with them if she wants, and if she does, she must come to the shore at noon the next day. That night, Vivi wonders if she can truly continue her journey with the Straw Hats. The next day, Vivi, who is supposed to be giving a speech at the palace, instead proceeds to the shore, where the Straw Hats are waiting, initially believe that she would not come. She tells the Straw Hats that she can no longer travel with them, but asks if they will consider her a friend if they meet again. Luffy is about to say yes, but Nami tells him that her being associated with them will make her a criminal, and as they sail away on the Going Merry, the crew says goodbye by showing her the marks on their arms, while Vivi and Karoo does the same, happily saying their goodbyes.
==Sky Island Saga==
===Goat Island Arc===
While being chased by the Marines, led by Moore and Minchey, Luffy and his crew get lost in the fog and discover an uncharted island. They find that the island is inhabited only by an old man named Zenny and a multitude of goats. They also find a partially constructed ship on the top of the island.
Because of his bad heart, Zenny probably only has three days to live. Hoping to make his last days good ones, the Straw Hat Pirates help him out and they learn about Zenny's past as a money lender and his dream of becoming a pirate. But realizing that Zenny has outlived Chopper's predictions the Straw Hats decide that after helping him finish his pirate ship, they will leave the island. The Straw Hat Pirates help the old man out while hiding from the Marines and working to get his ship into the water.
With Luffy's help, Zenny and his goats were able to attack the Marines. The Straw Hat pirates then went forth to help him. They defeated Minchey and tied him up. Luffy, then, threw Minchey back on Captain Moore's ship, and Captain Moore allowed them to choose their battle location. Zenny decides to follow his dream and become a pirate, forming the Zenny Pirates with his goats, despite his age and they part ways. Luffy, then, pointed to the Marines a foggy area for battle location, which caused Captain Moore's ships to land in a shipwreck due to the rocks.
===Ruluka Island Arc===
The Straw Hats are being chased by a small fleet of Marine ships led by Major Rapanui Pasqua and Isoka. The crew barely escape when the Major accidentally sinks one of his own ships. The crew then make their way towards an island named Ruluka.
After making landfall, they soon meet Flip, the leader of the Collection Party, a group who collect taxes from the people of Ruluka. He is also the son of the island's mayor, Wetton, who used to be a pirate, and is currently over taxing the people to build the Rainbow Tower. Wetton hires a professor named Henzo to build the tower, and to research a phenomenon called the Rainbow Mist which is located in a ship's graveyard known as the Ape's Concert. As the straw hats eventually meet Henzo, he explains the Rainbow Mist to them, they then hear two townspeople rushing to the harbor to see a galleon and they rush there as well.
Some of the mist begins to arrive as Henzo rushes to the galleon, that he recognizes as the Tarielishin on his small boat. When the mist begins to reach the island, Henzo borrows the Going Merry, with Luffy, Usopp, Robin, and a sleeping Zoro on the ship, into the mist. The inside of the Mist is full of wrecked ships and treasure, and is guarded by a group of kids calling themselves the Pumpkin Pirates. 
Henzo explains that the flow of time is different inside the mist, and that those children were once his friends. He tells them that Ruluka was attacked in the past by the Wetton Pirates and that the children stole the pirates ship but were chased by Wetton and his crewmate Ian. As the children fight off Wetton and Ian, Wetton and Henzo fall overboard and the children sail directly into the Rainbow Mist never again returning. Understanding now how the Rainbow Mist kept the children from aging, the crew attempts to find a way out. 
The group decides to follow the children back to their secret hideout, hoping they would know a way out of Ape's Concert. When Robin found one of the kids by the name of Pukau, the group managed to talk him into leading them to the hideout, where the children were waiting. After the boy tells the others that he is not a hostage, Usopp went out holding plates of food to give to the children, the food attracting both Luffy and Pukau until all of them except Rapanui started eating. Eventually the two groups decide to leave the Mist together, but are unable to find their way out. Finally, Flip communicates with Henzo on a Den Den Mushi and the group realizes they are still connected with the outside world. Knowing this, they try to reach the end of the mist, alongside the Pumpkin Pirates. As they do that, Sanji, Nami, and Chopper are trying to get to the harbor to find the others, as they are hindered by Lake, Wetton's grandson. He tells them that the mayor has announced all the shipwrecks there have untouched cargo just laying around with jewels and coins, and that the Rainbow Tower will be used as a bridge between the island and the Shipwrecks in the mist, just as Luffy propels himself and Rapanui outside of the mist.
After the Rainbow Tower is connected, Nami manages to get into the mist and reach the Merry. After asking where Luffy was, Zoro and Usopp told her that he was gone, and then continue trying to make it out of the mist, despite Wetton and his invading forces. As Luffy and Rapanui return, Luffy fights Wetton off, but Wetton manages to escape and blows the Tower away. Despite this, Luffy and the others manage to escape the mist onboard the Going Merry, when the Pumpkin Pirates stay behind and help the Merry escape with an explosive.
Outside the collapsing Mist, Wetton finally gets arrested by a group of powerful Marines, who turn out to be the older versions of the kids who stayed behind in the Rainbow Mist. They reveal that after the mist collapsed, they were thrown 50 years into the past and became Marines. They decide to let the Straw Hats leave as a thanks, and the crew departs the island of Ruluka, going onwards to their next adventure.
===Dead End Adventure===
The Straw Hats are now chased by a Marine ship, commanded by Drake. Due to the stormy weather and Nami's exceptional navigational skills, the ship sails away unscathed, leaving the Marine pursuant behind.
The crew reach a town on Hannabal Island. Inside a pirate filled bar, they find out there is a great but very dangerous opportunity through a mysterious door in the bar. As the crew enters the mysterious door they are surprised to see it is the opening to a large tunnel. Inside they find themselves in a large cave filled with pirates, who are all there to compete in the Dead End Race, a very dangerous anything goes sailing competition, which the winner can win up to 300,000,000.
The crew is introduced to the favorites to win that year, 2 giants, Bobby and Pogo, a Fish-Man and former rival of Arlong, Willy and the favorited to win, Gasparde, a former Marine general who deserted after killing his crew. While Nami registers the crew for the race, Luffy gets involved in a fight against Gasparde's crew along with an infamous bounty hunter by the name of Shuraiya Bascùd, as well as meets Gasparde himself which of course ends on bad terms.
The next morning, The crew set sail along with many other pirate ships for the parade start which involves sailing off a waterfall, fighting off other pirates, and navigating sharp turns. Before even reaching the ocean, several pirate crews are wrecked, luckily the Straw Hats manage to pull through with each challenge. However while checking the ship, they find a stowaway, a kid by the name of Anaguma who's come to kill them for their bounties, though find that's impossible after witnessing the crew's strength and power and thus sails along with them for the race.
After a few more encounters, one involving the pirate ship of Bigalo the Hangman and sea kings, the Straw Hats arrive at Partia, the supposed finish line of the race. However it turns out to be a Marine stronghold that quickly sinks any incoming pirate ships. Luffy realizes Gasparde rigged the race and the crew manages to escape the stronghold and track down Gasparde's ship using Chopper's nose.
The Straw Hats manage to get to Gasparde's ship, the Salamander, just in time to stop Gasparde from killing Shuraiya. After Luffy knocks out Shuraiya, and starts to fight Gasparde, the rest of the crew board the ship and Anaguma reunites with his grandpa and tries to get him to leave the ship. Instead he sends Anaguma on ahead while he claims he has one last thing to do. As Luffy's fight continues, When Anaguma realized that his grandpa is still on Gasparde's ship, he begs the Straw Hats to go back but Zoro knocks him out and reveals that Anaguma is actually a girl, while this is happening, her grandpa causes the boiler to explode and make the ship sink. 
As Luffy manages to stay on the sinked wreckage and finish his fight with Gasparde right as a cyclone is coming, Luffy manages to defeat Gasparde and send him flying into the cyclone. After this, he is saved by Anaguma's grandpa along with Shuraiya. As they head for the nearby island, the grandpa reveals that Anaguma was adopted and her real name is Adelle Bascùd, Shuraiya's little sister whom he thought was dead. Despite the awkward reunion, the two come to accept each other. 
The Straw Hats close in on the real Partia as the winners of the race but the Marine ships suddenly appear and go after them, forcing them to flee from the island and forfeit their prize money. They let Adelle, Shuraiya, and Grandpa off then wish them good-bye individually before sailing off with the Marines on their tail. Leaving without the money, the Straw Hats continue on for their next big adventure. 
===The Cursed Holy Sword===
When the Straw Hat Pirates dock at Asuka Island, Zoro and Usopp stay behind on the Going Merry to guard it, while the others head into town to restock their supplies. While in a restaurant, Nami tells the others about the legend of the Shichiseiken, said to be the most beautiful sword in all of the Grand Line, and rumored to be on Asuka Island. Remembering something she read once, Robin tells of the legend of the red moon, a terrible disaster occurring once every one hundred years on the island. To protect the island, the king was given three magical gems to use as a shield, and the Seven-Star Sword, an unbreakable sword, to use as a weapon. While they learned more about the legend of the island, Zoro is fast asleep on the Merry, while Usopp is issuing repairs on the Merry. After Usopp asks a still sleeping Zoro to kick down some wooden boards for repairs, a knife is thrown through the wood, nearly hitting Zoro squarely in the face, if he had not moved his head. However, Zoro is shocked to see his name carved into the knife. As Usopp climbs above deck to get the wood himself, he notices Zoro is suddenly missing. As the rest of the crew return, they are shocked to notice that Zoro is gone as well.
Later, the crew are escaping a fleet of Marine ships, led by Commander Drake. They still have not found Zoro, but have no time to find him, due to the said Marine attack. At that moment, Luffy decides that they will look for Zoro. Just then, Nami tells the crew that they have to sail into a path surrounded by mountains. Despite Luffy's disagreement, they are forced to take said path, due to the Marines trapping them in a pincer attack. As they sail through the path, they come across a ramp which they are about to make contact with. However, instead of sinking, the Going Merry flies into the sky, while the massive Marine ships are left to crash into one another. However, as it turns out, Luffy has no idea where they would land, and as the ship starts descending, things seemed hopeless for the pirates. However, by chance, they bounce on a Hippo Rhino (which immediately falls in love with the ship), and the Straw Hats are sent flying into a river back on the island.
On the Merry, the Straw Hats are searching everywhere for Zoro, when Chopper discovers a giant lake right ahead of them. There, we see Maya swimming in the lake, before heading towards a shrine, carrying three orbs, and getting prepared to pray to a statue. Just then, she notices the Going Merry, and realizes that it's a pirate ship. She escapes with the orbs after the Straw Hats notice her. Luffy decides to stretch in order to ask about Zoro, and Usopp is dragged along in an attempt to stop him. However, the two lose track of her without noticing, and she runs away, but not before being noticed by the other Straw Hats present. After losing sight of Maya and the other straw hats, Luffy and Usopp eventually reach the Marine Dojo.
Inside, after noticing the many swordsmen practicing (which resulted in Luffy asking them for Zoro, without any response), then a marine named Toma shows up behind Usopp, frightening him. After asking Toma for Zoro, Luffy learns that Zoro should return any minute, before deciding to wait at the dojo until he shows up. At that moment, The leader of the Dojo, Saga reveals himself to the pair, but Luffy is more interested in the long sword he carries on his back. Toma asks for permission to test Luffy in order to find out if he really defeated Crocodile of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Getting permission, Toma nearly cuts Luffy by unsheathing his sword at a high speed. Then, Saga reveals that Zoro will no longer be part of the Straw Hats, before Luffy starts attacking him for his statement. At that moment, Saga draws his long blade, which happens to be the Shichiseiken. Saying that the sword wants Luffy's blood, Saga attacks Luffy, before the battle is taken outside. As the battle rages on, it starts going in Saga's favor, and when he uses his special attack, Youkazan (a green flame erupting from his sword), Luffy is sent flying off a cliff. In fear of being killed by Saga, Usopp jumps after Luffy, and after a failed parachute attempt, he crashes into the valley below.
Usopp has successfully been caught in a tree due to his parachute, and starts looking for Luffy after finding his straw hat. However, he falls into a cave shortly afterwards. Once in the cave, he eventually finds Luffy and hands him back his straw hat. Unfortunately for the duo, Luffy activated a trap that sends a giant boulder after them, which Luffy destroys at Usopp's urging. However, he activates another trap that causes a cave-in, nearly killing them. Later inside the tunnels, Usopp and Luffy activate many traps before finding three peculiar towers, and as they were starving, the duo fall asleep.
The next day in the caves, Luffy and Usopp have just survived an arrow trap, before Luffy gleefully decides to go into another cave. However, Usopp protests, and leads them into a different cave, which ironically leads to another trap, this consisting of balls made out of rock. After getting through it, the pair come across a stream of water, where Luffy finds three orbs, before accidentally activating yet another trap, this one being a massive water stream that flushes Usopp and Luffy through the caves. Thanks to the massive spurt of water, Luffy and Usopp finally come out into broad daylight at long last, conveniently in front of the other Straw Hats, along with Maya and other villagers. After the pair introduce themselves to Maya, Izaya, and Lacos, Nami asks them what they have been doing. After Usopp explains their trek in the caves, she shoves it off as adventuring, much to the frustration of Luffy and Usopp.
As the others tell the duo what's been going on in the village, the others learn of Luffy's battle against Saga, while Luffy learns of Zoro's "betrayal", and Usopp confirms that Saga is indeed the wielder of the Shichiseiken. After hear that Maya is going to sacrifice herself in a ritual to stop the Shichiseiken, Luffy prepares to leave, in order to beat Saga, which Izaya says is futile, as Luffy cannot even scratch the blade. However, Luffy proclaims that they will not know if beating him will work unless they try. Despite this, Maya is more than willing to sacrifice herself, even though she is afraid of dying, saying that she decided to do so in order to save Saga. Deciding to cheer Maya up, Luffy reveals the orbs, much to everyone's (save Usopp's) surprise, especially Izaya. Now that they had the orbs, Maya could preform the ritual to stop the Shichiseiken without sacrificing her own life, but Maya asked Luffy where he found them. Learning where Luffy found them, she wonders why they were in the cave to begin with. However, even though the ritual can be performed, it is far too risky due to Saga's forces. Despite this, Luffy tells Maya that if she believes in Saga, then she should completely trust him, and that no one can decide her fate except for herself. With this, He and the other Straw Hats decide to aid Maya in her mission, as they will use the orbs despite all odds.
After this, everyone decides to split up into groups of two to the three towers. Usopp and Robin decide to go to the Hagun tower, where they are met by Boo Kong and his men. Boo Kong challenged them to a fight, surprising a scared Usopp. However, he and his subordinates were quickly defeated by Robin's Veinte Fleur. She then tickled him and pulled his clubs down to hit him on the head, subduing him. She then pulled him to the ground, causing large pieces of rubble from Hagun to fall down on top of him and knock him out. As Robin and Usopp secure the tower, Luffy and Saga engage in a fight of their own, with the Shichiseiken merging with Saga and giving him an upper hand against Luffy. However, Zoro arrives to finish the fight against Saga himself, giving him another sword so they can duel. As Zoro clashes with Saga, he manages to strikes the finishing blow, destroying the Shichiseiken and thus freeing Saga from the curse. Lying injured on the ground, Saga regained his consciousness and smiled up at his victorious friend before passing out.
Zoro and Luffy both pass out, with Luffy passing out due to being hungry as their friends come for them while Maya holds Saga in her arms. With the ritual complete, the cursed sword destroyed, and everyone under its influence freed, and his old friend saved, Zoro apologizes to the crew for his earlier actions, with Luffy happy that he's back with his friends. As the crew happily reunite, Saga wakes up and swears to everyone that he will master the sword of justice for everyone's sake, as it is the only atonement he can make. Zoro then gives Saga his old knife back, as Saga makes Zoro the same promise, he walks away with his crew ready to leave the island. As the Straw Hat Pirates leave the island, Saga sits on a cliff with Maya, Izaya, Lacos, and Toma to see their departure. As the crew ready themselves for their next adventure, the Going Merry sails out with a Hippo Rhino continuously hitting it in a strange sort of mating ritual, with the crew trying to sail away from the smitten creature.
===Open Upon the Great Sea! A Father's Huge, HUGE Dream!===
The Straw Hats arrive onto Shellfish Island where they run into a mysterious group of people looking for treasure. The same group is then ambushed by the Bayan Pirates' second in command, Zap, who captures the oldest child, Amanda, along with a sleepy Luffy, who apparently had sleeping medicine put into his food by Sanji earlier to make him quiet. 
Straw Hats visit Amanda's father's hut to try to find out where the great treasure is. They learn that the treasure island is between Mamanato Island and Samua Island, which is the island that they are on now. They also learn Amanda holds the key to finding the treasure. After this, the Straw Hats, Maccus, Bonney, and Amanda's younger siblings follow the Bayan crew to their main ship in order to save Luffy and Amanda.
As the Straw Hats arrive to save their captain, Bayan decides to force Luffy to fight his own crew. This tactic was successful until Usopp manages to shoot sleeping pellets into the singers' mouths, with assistance from Chopper, stopping them from singing. As Bonney and Maccus board the ship and fail to defeat Zap, The Straw Hats then board Bayan's ship, easily defeating Zap and, using a combined attack against Bayan, send him off into the ocean, and rescuing Amanda in the process. 
The Straw Hats then sail back to the island where the treasure is supposed to be. Afterwards, the island starts to "open" and reveals itself to be a giant clam. Inside is a gigantic pearl, which makes Amanda acknowledge her father's drive for adventure, as they all realize that the island itself was the treasure that the map leads to. Afterwards Bonney and Maccus offer to adopt the children, as the Straw Hats say farewell to the newly formed family.
===Protect! The Last Great Performance===
One day on a random island, the Straw Hats decide to buy tickets to go see the farewell performance from a long time actor named Randolph. 30 minutes before the play is set to start, 3 actors decide to quit the play, leaving Randolph's play shorthanded. Nami makes a deal with the manager of the play to participate as the princess for 100,000, and the other Straw Hats decide to help as well.
As the first act ended up being disastrous, due to the straw hats' individual performances, including Usopp saying too many lines than he was supposed to, and ad libbing through most of his performance. Just as the first act reaches a disastrous end, Randolph, playing a marine officer, however performs a valiant speech which inspires the audience and keeps the show going. Before Act 2, Randolph finds out Luffy is a pirate and attacks him, due to his own past as an ex marine and the loss of his family to pirates. Knowing that Luffy was a pirate made Randolph angry and he attempted to fight him. Seeing as Act 2 was soon to come, Randolph decided to postpone the fight until after the play. 
Just as everyone was about to start the 2nd act, a marine commander showed up and arrested Randolph for selling weapons to pirates. This turned out to be a lie however as this marine commander Governor had planted those weapons on Randolph's ship for revenge, as the commander was a former subordinate of Randolph who once tried to sell weapons to pirates to speed up his own promotion within the marines and to make money, but Randolph caught on and tried to get him kicked out by court martial. Although he failed to prove his guilt, Governor's plans to rise the ranks were greatly halted as a result of Randolph's actions for years, with the commander now back to get his revenge and arrested Randolph.
After falling into a cell, Randolph is freed by Luffy who tells him to go back to his ship and finish the act. Randolph refuses to accept help from a pirate but once they are discovered, Luffy grabs Randolph and fights through many marines until he escapes the marine ship and places Randolph back on his own ship and stage. Commander Governor tells the marines to fire and sink both the Going Merry and Randolph's ship but Luffy stops the cannonballs from reaching Randolph's ship. Luffy vows to protect Randolph's performance and yells to Randolph to hurry and finish the act.
While Randolph is performing the act, the marines send two ships around the Going Merry to try and sink Randolph's ships. As the rest of the crew deals with marines, Luffy and Chopper board the main marine ship during the confusion and knock out all of the marines on board. Two other marine ships try to help the main marine flagship but each one is destroyed by Zoro and Sanji respectively. The Straw Hats decide to attack the main marine ship with Robin turning one of its own cannons against it and Usopp knocking out a couple of the cannons with one shot. Commander Governor wonders why the pirates are so strong and finally realizes that they are facing the Straw Hat Pirates. He accuses an underling of making the mistake and threatens him with court martial, but the marine says go ahead and threatens to reveal the truth about Commander Governor. 
Meanwhile, Randolph is just about to finish his play when he decides to change the last line. Instead of "I will fight until every pirate is dead at my feet", he tells the audience that the pirates in the play actually disposed of the cruel and greedy princess of the village. He says that he will fight against all who are despicable instead. He will fight against those with rotten souls and that even if your loved ones are slain by these evil people, you must forge ahead and live on.
The Straw Hat Pirates defeat all the marines that fight, while some decide to ditch the cowardly Commander Governor. With no men left, Governor states he will not give up and will just lie on his reports to his superiors about what happened. Luffy then drops down into the commanders room however, and punches him through the sky.
Randolph's new speech brings tears and cheers to the audience as his farewell performance comes to an end. As Luffy and the rest leave the island, Luffy yells to Randolph that he will be back to settle things and to not forget about it and Randolph remarks that Luffy better not forget their postponed fight either as the Straw Hats sail off into the sunset.
===G-8 Arc===
When the Straw Hats drop from the sky after their adventure in Skypiea, they land in the middle of the marine base known as G-8, they are forced to abandon their ship, as many marines immediately spring upon it. Separated, the crewmates are forced to disguise themselves and try to find a way out of the base, which is comprised of a huge mountain surrounded by water, and then a ring of sheer rock cliffs that form a wall of sorts.
As the crew separates, Usopp ends up on the base watching Vice Admiral Jonathan finding his sniper goggles out on the water as he stares at the abandoned Going Merry. He eventually meets up with Robin and together they are shown finding his goggles as they spy on the marines, and later Robin tells Usopp that their main priority is to find out how to escape. As Robin and Usopp discover that the Going Merry has been moved, Robin suggests to keep calm and to think about an escape plan, but Usopp panicked, prefers to start to look for his beloved ship. Disguised as a chore boy, Usopp arrives where the Merry is hold and meets shipwright Mekao, but he's suddenly arrested and brought in front of Jonathan. The commander starts to think that he may be the new inspector from the headquarters and Usopp confirms his beliefs. His lies however last for a little time because Robin enters the room and pretends to be the real inspector. Usopp is then put in the same cage of Zoro. Major Shepherd is captured by the marines and held in the same cell as the Straw Hat Crew, as Robin stole his uniform previously and the Marine mistook him for an intruder. Usopp takes the chance to pretend he is their comrade, assuring the marines won't let him out, with Zoro knocking Shephard out so he can continue his nap. 
Later, Shipwright Mekao talks to Usopp in the prison, telling him the repairs he did to the Going Merry weren't good enough, and that sooner or later the mast would snap. They talk about the Straw Hat's time in Skypiea, much to Lieutenant Commander Drake's annoyance. However, the Marines force Mekao out after he tells Usopp he might know who mysteriously fixed the Going Merry in Skypiea. Meanwhile, Luffy and Sanji attempt to infiltrate the prison, concerned about how deserted the path was. They race down, despite the obvious trap. Luffy discovers the bars are made out of Seastone, whist Sanji attempts to kick down the bars, also discovering that they are practically unbreakable. However, Sanji takes Usopp's impact dial, only to find out it's the voice dial instead. He tries Usopp's other pocket, only for it to be the flavor dial. The gas sets off an explosion, and the Straw Hat's escape, only to get lost while following Zoro.
Luffy's group begins running around the base, being chased by Marines. In trying to escape, they end up in what seems like a dead-end at the side of the mountain and meet Jonathan again, who happened to be at the balcony of his office. Luffy tells Jonathan that he has freed his crewmates and declares that they were going to escape the base. This makes Jonathan laugh, asking him if he really thinks he can escape Navarone Island with their treasure, to which Luffy replies that they are pirates and that the Marines can't catch them. Suddenly a huge cannon fires at Luffy's group, and they run back inside the base.
Instead of going in pursuit of the Straw Hats, Jonathan decides to set a trap for them in Dock 88, where the Going Merry is moored, as he knows this is where they will surely go. He tasks Lieutenant Commander Drake to set up the ambush in Dock 88 and since it will take Drake some time to arrive at said dock, he orders Unit 55 to slow the Straw Hats down to stall for time. He stations them at the bridge which is the only way to get to the ship.
As Luffy's group arrives at the bridge leading to Dock 88, they see that the bridge is unguarded, they gather that it must be a trap. They decide that they don't care and go ahead and cross it. Unit 55 block their path and have them surrounded from all sides. Luffy's group easily defeats them but, in the process, Luffy destroys the bridge, and they all fall into the bay. Even with the damage caused, Jonathan in pleased with the result since it bought them the time they needed to set up the ambush in Dock 88. Luffy's group heads to the dock, straight into the trap, seemingly cornered. Luffy is shot with a Seastone net and is incapacitated. Just then, Nami and Dr. Kobato also arrive pushing a hospital bed, with Chopper hidden in the sheets pretending to be a patient.
As Nami's group arrive in Dock 88 to help, Drake's men bombard Luffy's group with gun fire but he easily repels the bullets using his Devil Fruit powers. The Marines resort to using what seem like bazookas seeing that their guns are ineffective. They have fired instead, flash bombs to subdue the pirates which stings their eyes. Drake then has his Sword Unit attack the Straw Hats as they are still trying to recover from the effects of the flash bomb. The Crew are able to fight off the attacks. Luffy is then shot with a Seastone net and is instantly incapacitated. Drake demands that they surrender and tells them that while their Marine base policy is to take prisoners alive, he will not hesitate to change this policy if he is met with any resistance. 
With Luffy in a weakened state, Sanji, Zoro and Usopp seem to be unable to resist the overwhelming number of the Marines in the dock and consider surrendering. Just as the Marines are about to capture them, Nami and Dr. Kobato, with Chopper still hidden under the sheets of the hospital bed, get up, and as the marines notice the doctor, Kobato then pretends to be a hostage and screams in feigned terror. She hints at Nami of her plan and in turn, Nami also pretends to be a nurse held hostage by Chopper, now in his Heavy Point form. Chopper acts like a tough and ruthless pirate and demands that the Marines stand down and let them board their ship. As Drake gives in and orders his men to stand down in return for the release of the hostages, Zoro releases Luffy from the Seastone net but Luffy remains weak.
Drake "accommodates" the Straw Hats and lets them board their ship, but Zoro senses another trap. He silently tells Luffy to sling them to their ship on his signal. A Marine covertly rescues Dr. Kobato and another also tries to rescue Nami, but she punches the Marine. This was their signal to rush towards the ship. Luffy slings the Crew onto the Merry. Mekao, with the safety of his daughter in mind, aides the pirates in their escape by releasing the Going Merry from the dock into the bay. Thinking that the Straw Hats are holding the "nurse" Nami as hostage, Drake orders them not to shoot at them, but instead to just give them warning shots. As the ship sails away, the Marines scope out the ship and notice Nami giving the crew orders and realize that she is not being held hostage. They realize that she is actually part of the Straw Hats. As Robin later arrives and rejoins the crew, She gives Nami a map of Navarone Island which she obtained in the library.
The Marines start shooting cannons at the Merry and start giving chase using warships. Nami refers to the map and sees the only way out of the base is the Sea Gate, to which they head. She notices that the water is too shallow and that the map doesn't make sense. They head to the Sea Gate anyway and try to think of a plan to open the gate. The Marines continue their barrage on the Merry while the Straw Hats don't have a way to retaliate since the Marines have confiscated all their cannon balls. Luffy devises a plan and catches all the cannon balls shot at them with his Gomu Gomu no Fusen ability and redirects them towards the gate. Just as the gate explodes, Nami realizes that if the Marines took all their cannon balls, they must have also taken the treasure they found on Skypiea.
The Straw Hats decide to go back for the gold, as well as Nami's waver. They hide the Going Merry in an abandoned dock, since there are so many. Usopp uses the junk in the dock to disguise Merry as a Naval ship, and then splits the crew into two teams: one team to recover the treasure gained at Skypiea, and the other team to retrieve Nami's Waver. Chopper is left behind to guard the Merry. Jonathan tricks the crew into another ambush, this one in a huge room that is locked from the outside. Drake is once again leading the attack, with countless marines backing him up, and things look bleak until Agent Shepherd foolishly opens the doors and allows Luffy, Robin, Zoro, and Usopp to escape.
As Nami's group retrieves the Waver and return to the ship, she goes looking for Luffy and finds him, only to discover that they still do not have the gold. Nami suspects that it's in the Commander's office, so she and Luffy go alone while everyone else goes back to the boat. Using the Waver, she and Luffy scale the main mountain and break into Jonathan's office. Marines fill the room but Nami uses her Thunder Tempo attack to electrocute them all. She and Luffy grab the treasure and head back to the boat. However, Jonathan is not worried, because at 9 PM the "fangs of G-8" will appear. What he means is the inner lake becomes so shallow that the Going Merry is stranded on a reef. With no water, the Merry is stuck in the mud while the marines mobilize.
When Luffy commands the ship to go full speed ahead, a hole was torn in the hull by the rocks on the harbor floor, so they stop. The harbor eventually reaches a very low tide, rendering the ship unable to move. Jonathan gloats via megaphone how he had captured the Straw Hat Pirates. However, the Straw Hat Pirates decide to launch a plan of their own; they use Usopp's Impact Dial to launch the ship into the air, then uses an Octopus Balloon inflated with Breath and Flame Dials to float in the air. Jonathan orders his men to fire a "warning shot" at the balloon. However, Shepherd also aims for the balloon with his bazooka, only to instead miss and shoot down the Marines' cannon, with the Straw Hats escaping, once and for all.
As the Straw Hats are seen flying towards the sunset. Usopp begins working on fixing the hole in the hull, as they continue to sail away from the base and onto the open sea.
==Water 7 Saga==
===Long Ring Long Land Arc===
===Ocean's Dream Arc===
One night aboard the Going Merry, Robin is reading late at night while the others are sleeping. Suddenly, a mysterious figure appears in the ocean and plays an instrument resembling a seahorse.
Nami wakes up in the morning, but cannot recognize Robin. Chopper, Usopp, Sanji, and Luffy also wake up soon after, all of which are confused as to why they woke up on the ship; their memories were erased. Usopp tells them that he was a famous pirate, they are all part of his crew and that they lost their memory in a storm fighting a giant whale. However his lie is seen through quickly.
The Straw Hats all meet at the deck and notice Chopper, wondering who he is. Robin explains that they were on the Grand Line, and that they were on a pirate ship led by Luffy. Nami then goes to her room and finds her logbook, finding that the notes were written in her handwriting.
Nami decides that she must return to Cocoyasi Village. She escapes the ship using a Waver. Zoro also decides to leave, and jumps in the water and swims. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure watches from a hill.
Robin comes to a conclusion and informs the Straw Hats about their memories being erased from them. In the dining room, Robin tells everyone left what she remembers of their adventures, but being the latest member, she does not know the circumstances under which everyone joined. She then recounts what happened the previous day and says that she heard a strange sound. With a whistle from the tea kettle, everyone with memory loss realizes that they all had the same dream about a boy underwater blowing into an instrument, and only Robin was not affected because she was awake. They reach the conclusion that the boy is the cause of the memory loss and that he may strike again that night, possibly taking all of their memories this time.
Despite everyone being upset over this realization, Luffy simply figures that although their old memories had been lost, they would just make new memories through their adventures. Later that night, the boy stands on the ship's figurehead and blows the horn. Robin confronts him, waking up all the Straw Hats in the process. Angry, the boy attempts to blow into his horn again, but is confronted by Luffy for sitting on the figurehead. The horn emits a blue, sparkling dust that flows into Luffy's mouth. The boy escapes, but when Luffy wakes up, he regains his memory in the process. 
After regaining his memories, Luffy tells everyone what he remembers as well as their roles on the crew, but then tells them that he wants to bring back Zoro and Nami, though Robin convinces him to wait until morning. The next day, as Usopp prepares to go to the island with everyone, he starts having a flashback of his time on Syrup Village telling tall tales to Kaya. As they come onto the island and immediately bump into Nami, and Luffy forces her to help them find Zoro. On their way, Robin comes across some ancient writing and, realizing the true cause behind the memory loss, and convinces everyone to go to a place called the "Sea God's Palace". Meanwhile, the boy hypnotizes Zoro into joining his side. After reaching the forest, Usopp and Chopper end up finding Zoro and brings him back to the others. However, as soon as they arrive, Zoro suddenly begins to attack Luffy. As the Straw Hats believe that Zoro was hypnotized, Luffy tells the others to go ahead to the temple, while he stayed behind to battle Zoro. 
Meanwhile, on the way to the Palace, Nami tells the Straw Hats that Luffy and Robin are lying to them, and that they should go home. However, the Straw Hats decide to stay with Robin, and they leave Nami behind. Nami, however, decides to follow the Straw Hats to reclaim her gold. Upon arriving at the Palace, Robin explains that there is a legendary monster that would feed on others' memories to survive, and that the monster resided in the island. Nami and Usopp try to reach the Straw Hats, but are approached by the cloaked boy. Sanji leaps into the air and kicks the boy, causing the seahorse horn to release the Straw Hats' memories and also play a sound. Because the boy was briefly unconscious from the kick, he lost his memories. The boy, confused as to where he was, flees.
Robin explains that the real thief was the seahorse horn. It tries to flee, but is caught by Sanji. Sanji beats the seahorse until it coughed up the Straw Hats' memories. Having regained their memories, they wonder if Zoro has regained his memories. Zoro approaches them, and Sanji is prepared to fight him. The seahorse communicates via Chopper that it still had its last resort.
As Zoro approaches the Straw Hats, prepared to fight them, Sanji battles Zoro, but Luffy launches himself forward, hitting Zoro and Sanji both. When they wake up, Zoro reveals that he regained his memory when the seahorse coughed up his memory, with Luffy right behind him. Sanji was mad that Zoro still looked scary after regaining his memory. Zoro then jumps into the lake to chase the seahorse. After Zoro catches it, the seahorse uses his last resort: he sprays a gas into the air that makes the Straw Hats hallucinate people from their past memories (Bell-mere, Hiriluk, Kaya, Kuina, Zeff, Ace, and Shanks), then their past enemies (Arlong, Wapol, Kuro, Krieg, Crocodile, and Enel). The seahorse then steals the Straw Hats' memories, causing it to inflate and be able to float; claiming that it became a Sennenryu.
Despite having lost all of his memories, Luffy decides that he wants to ride the seahorse and unintentionally uses his Devil Fruit powers to fly into it and wrap his arms around it. This causes the seahorse to return Luffy's memories, so he beats up the seahorse until everyone's memory returns and sends it flying off the island.
As the crew comes down to the village thinking they will be rewarded for getting everyone's memories back, they are instead attacked. Drim, the boy who carried the seahorse around, misinterpreted the situation and thought the Straw Hat Pirates were the ones who took everyone's memories and warned the entire village, so the crew is forced to rush back to the ship and leave. 
===Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island===
On a calm day, the Straw Hats receive a message in a bottle advertising Omatsuri Island as a resort, promising spas and salons, good food, and many beautiful women, with Grand Line Pirates being especially welcome, the stronger the better. The crew are delighted at their luck, and Luffy decides that this is an opportunity they could not ignore. They set a course for the island.
When they reach the island, they see an uninhabited jungle but the crew follow strange sounds throughout the jungle, which leads them directly to the resort, and they are in awe by its dazzling rides and attractions. Soon, the owner of the island, Baron Omatsuri comes out on an elephant with a small talking flower sprouting from his shoulder to greet his guests. The crew notices the flower, and also notice that the dancers and performers, all have a small plants sprouting out of their heads as well. As the Baron welcomes the crew to his island and says they are welcome to enjoy all the delights he is offering, Luffy and the others are happy to hear this, but first he suggests that they prove their worth by taking part in a competition called the 'Trial of Hell, which he explains is similar to the Davy Back Fight.
Despite the crew being unsure whether or not to consider the trial, Luffy is filled with excitement by this challenge, saying that it might be fun, and that his friends are capable of handling any trial, officially excepting the proposal. As he accepts the proposal, the plaza they are in mechanically converts into an enormous round pool with a platform in the middle, as the first competition is goldfish catching, with the rules being that the winning team will be the one who catches the most goldfish in three minutes using only the net they are given, which is about three inches long and made of water-soluble tissue paper.
When Usopp volunteers to take on the challenge, he immediately changes his mind when he sees his opponent, Muchigoro and the massive goldfish that they have to catch, Rosario. After seeing the massive goldfish, Usopp immediately gets scared and changes his mind, leaving it to the others. As Nami, Sanji, Zoro and Luffy all try to catch the giant fish using their normal attacks, but only succeed in breaking the tiny net. Just as they decide that it's an impossible task, Muchigoro takes his turn. He reveals that he was hiding a net big enough to catch Rosario all along, much to the crew's fury. He calls Rosario into his net and flings him toward his prize bucket, with Robin intervening with her powers to bounce the fish back into the platform, where Chopper knocks him into own bucket using his Guard Point, just as the time limit ends.
The Baron is furious at the Straw Hats for beating him, as well as insulting him and Muchigoro. He demands that they compete in another challenge. Nami had been hoping for a chance to relax at this island, and refuses on behalf of the rest. Luffy, however, overrules as before, having enjoyed the first trial and is looking forward to more. Nami, furious, tries to lead the crew back to the ship, but the forest seems to move around them and they become lost. Luffy, following them, continues to try to convince them to go back to the Trials. When they finally manage to leave the forest, they find themselves before the Baron again as he announces that they have arrived at the second trial - a complex game of ring toss, taking place between two teams of four people, each in two gondola-like waver boats. To win, a team must throw rings over every member of the other team. Due to Luffy, Robin, and Chopper all being Devil Fruit eaters, the teams for the next trial ended up with Zoro and Sanji being partnered together, and Usopp and Nami teaming up as well, and their opponents, were the so-called; Four Wise Men, a group of four tiny, frog-like people.
With the trial starting at a canal, the participants have to throw rings at their opponents while speeding through what appears to be a city. As the trial begins, the Kerojii and Keroko duo are ahead of Nami and Usopp, preparing an assault. Revealing an outdoor roast, Keroko cooks a pair of fish above a barbecue and waves her fan towards it, leaving behind a trail a smoke and steam. Next, she uses a larger fish, then finally, roasts meat. Nami and Usopp go faster to be side by side, but to Nami's surprise as she readies a ring, she notices that the two are having a meal on their boat. One by one, Keroko flings a piece of coal into the air with her chopsticks and, with her fan, launches the pieces towards Nami and Usopp's boat. They were able to dodge it, but they will not be able to any longer, as one of the pieces of coal starts to light the boat on fire.
Nami frantically holds her ring high, preventing it from being burned by the flames which now engulf their boat. Usopp remains calm in a thinking position. He tries to think of a great idea which enlightens Nami, but then discovers that he cannot. In a furious rage, she grabs a box from the boat and chucks it at Usopp's head. They notice that the box reads "RESCUE BOX". Kerojii and Keroko encourage Nami to open it, because, it might just turn the tables for them. Excited, she opens the box, only to find two coffee mugs inside. Desperate, she uses the cups to pour water onto the boat. Usopp finds a second box and excitedly opens it. It automatically opens and wraps itself around Usopp. Wings extend out from his back and carries Usopp into the air, leaving behind the shells of the case. As Usopp descends higher into the sky due to his glider, Usopp tries his best to stay down, but the winds continue to guide him into the air. Instead of resisting, he eventually decides to pull his goggles down and enjoy the view. Turning around, he spots a mountain with a mysterious object at the summit. Later with the majority of the trial completed by the others, Usopp manages to reach the others as Zoro is about to be caught. Usopp lets go of his glider and comes down with his 5 ton hammer, pounding Kerojii down into the water. Usopp throws a ring on Kerojii, ending the game. Even though Zoro was caught, the score was 4 to 3. Usopp smiles and laughs about his aid to their victory, until Nami stands up and slaps him and accuses him of betrayal. She slaps him again when Usopp abruptly replies that Nami is the one who specializes in betraying people. Zoro and Sanji aren't happy with each other either. As the victory fireworks appear in the sky, it seems as if the crew is starting to crumble apart.
Despite their victory, everyone was on edge and angry at one another back at the hotel, confusing Robin and Luffy. As Robin questions Usopp if he saw anything that resembled a flower while he was gliding in the air, Zoro interrupts him and asks the crew where Chopper is. Usopp answers, but the question gets asked again by Sanji. Usopp answers again, but Nami asks the question again a third time, then snaps at Usopp and said that she wasn't asking him. Usopp is stunned at the length of Nami's anger towards him for his spiteful words earlier, but they are interrupted by the introductory drumming of the Baron as he presents them with a dinner party for a gift. The water pool near them changes and one of Baron's men Kotetsu emerges from below, equipped with two giant grilling spatulas strapped on his back. The flooring underneath him becomes a giant iron grill as the grill itself is surrounded by walls of flames. As Sanji and the performer engage in a cooking challenge, Nami cheers Sanji on, but soon finds Usopp beside her cheering as well. Nami walks away and continues to cheer. Usopp follows her and cheers for Sanji, too, just to be friendly with Nami. This time, Nami walks away from the grill and asks to sit with Muchigoro, who was sitting alone at one of the tables. Usopp just could not understand what was wrong with Nami.
Usopp eventually leaves the cooking contest himself, entering the forest. He finds a turtle shell lying on the ground and kicks it out of anger. Hurting himself, a person emerges from it. This person thought Usopp's hat was pretty cool, so he wanted to have it. The boy continues to demand for it, but Usopp refuses each time. Usopp wonders what was up with this boy's speech, adding the suffix "-pu" to the end of his sentences. Feeling offended, the boy raises his head with startling eyes, which ominously turn from green to red. After which, Usopp disappears, with DJ Gappa taking his hat, and is later confirmed to have been taken prisoner by the Lily Carnation, and is eventually absorbed into the monstrous plant, becoming apart of it, as Luffy helplessly watches.
With Luffy and the other pirates trapped on the island banding together to stop Baron Omatsuri, the Lily Carnation takes it true form, with the entirety of the Straw Hats now assimilated into it and the Baron. Despite an uphill battle now ensuing, one of the pirates manages to fire an arrow into the Lily, critically injuring it in the process, causing all the inhabitants on the island to become lifeless again, and a shocked Baron to lose his connection with the Lily. With a now enraged Baron trying to finish everyone off, before he takes a step further, Luffy steps into the puddle of the Lily's innards and strikes him with a death-rendering punch, sending the Baron into oblivion, and ending the struggle.
With the Lily Carnation's destruction, everyone that was absorbed earlier returned, completely confused about what had happened to them in the first place. As the five of them emerge safe and sound, Luffy smiles in relief and closes his eyes. The Straw Hats spot him and quickly go to see him. With Nami calling out to him wondering what happened and how he could lay there and sleep in a place like this, Luffy couldn’t help but laugh, as the struggle on Omatsuri Island was finally over.
===The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle===
During a raging storm, the crew searches a wrecked pirate ship for any treasure only to find a single chest. On the Going Merry, they open it only to find an old woman who hid there to escape the storm. As they contemplate what to do with her, even suggesting to put her back in the box, the woman tells them about a legendary Golden Crown on her island that she will let them have if they return her there. Though the rest of the crew thinks this sounds suspicious, Luffy agrees. As it turns out, it is impossible to reach using a Log Pose, requiring the use of a "Turtle Pose", which uses a small turtle that always points to the island.
As they come up to the island, the crew hears a fisherman singing an old folk song about the Golden Crown known as the Yurari Uta. The woman explains that the island is known as Mecha Island and as the pirates get closer, they set off a defense system involving arrow-firing robots. When the island's leader, Ratchet, sees the old lady, his mother, on the ship, he launches a hand glider and retrieves her from the ship. Then, one of Ratchet's subordinates, General Maji, activates the robots, sending hundreds of arrows flying towards the ship, but Zoro deflects all of them. Maji then activates a giant fan to blow the ship away, but the arrow robots end up getting sucked into it. Though the metal parts being blown out of the fan wreck the Going Merry's main sail, the fan is destroyed while Maji gets his back broken by Robin's Clutch.
Due to this, the crew cannot leave the island, so they decide to stay and search for the Golden Crown. They realize that there may be hints in the song they heard earlier, which Robin had thankfully written down. The two possible clues they find in the song refer to "the white snake's eyes" and "the two moons". They manage to figure out that the white snake is referring to a rock shaped like a snake head, but cannot understand what the two moons refer to. Usopp suggests that maybe it is the moon and its reflection, but that is wrong too. As it turns out, Ratchet is also trying to figure out the same thing, but he decides to leave the Straw Hats alone for now, believing that it is impossible for them to solve the mystery. During a contest between him and Usopp, Luffy breaks off one of the snake rock's eyes, and Robin realizes that they may have misinterpreted the lyrics of the song. Luffy breaks off the other eye, revealing an entrance into the island. When Ratchet hears about this from Maji, who was watching the crew, he freaks out for a bit but eventually calms down and decides to use them to get the treasure for himself. Maji then invites the crew to a party at Ratchet's castle, which they begrudgingly accept.
As the Straw Hats reach the castle, Luffy happily begins eating as the crew look around the venue as the party starts. As they look around they notice that the entire staff are all robots dressed like maids, except for the Butler. At the party, Ratchet asks for the Straw Hats to help him find the treasure. Though the rest of the crew finds this suspicious, Luffy agrees to help. The next day, the crew along with Ratchet and his friends enter the cave. They pass through a narrow passage and fall down a waterfall before crashing their ship on land. Luffy comes across a beautiful lake surrounded by animal statues with light shining through the top, and Robin finds a pillar with the final part of the song written on it. At first, they think it means to say that it is time to drink up the lake, but they soon realize that it actually means that the Ibis statue can drink up the lake. Luffy unintentionally knocks down a giant statue of this bird into the lake, and all of the water drains away. At the bottom of the lake is a passage, which Robin, Chopper, and Sanji go through while the others stay to investigate the newly exposed surroundings.
As Robin's group manage to reach the top of the mountain and investigate the temple located there, they make a discovery that literally causes the entire island to shake and fall apart, as the island itself was actually a Giant sleeping turtle. As it turns out, the song actually serves as instructions to awaken the island-sized turtle, with the island itself onto of its shell, which Ratchet reveals he knew this entire time, though he also points out that he still has not figured out what the Golden Crown is referring to, so there may still be a treasure.
At this point, Ratchet reveals his true intentions: he will use the turtle to take over the world, which everyone immediately thinks is stupid. As his group manages to escape from the pirates, he activates his giant mechanical castle which takes the turtle and manipulates it using giant cables in order to force it to move, to advance his world domination plot. The Straw Hats gather together and break into the castle in order to stop him, but Chopper goes off on his own when the turtle starts speaking to him. The remaining six are caught in a trap, where they have to deal with Ratchet and one his inventions, a mechanized battle suit, which empresses Luffy, up until he easily destroys it and Ratchet escapes, leaving them trapped. The Straw Hats remain trapped, only to be released by Gonzo. He and Ratchet's mother arrive and beg the crew to stop Ratchet, as he uses the castle to take control of the turtle. At this point, Chopper learns that the turtle is to be awakened every 1000 years to lay its eggs. The island turtle starts moving, and when Usopp notices this, he starts to run back outside to make sure the Going Merry is alright. 
As Usopp meets back up with Chopper, they run into Nami, and together on Nami's waver they head back together to the Going Merry. As Luffy beats Ratchet and everyone meets up outside, Nami's group, who had retrieved the ship, meet up with everyone and tell them that the turtle is going to crash into a nearby island. Usopp then suggests a way to free the turtle, as he prepares one of the Merry's cannons. Using a combination of attacks from Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro, Luffy executes an attack called Gomu Gomu no Kaiten Ono on the castle. Luffy breaks the castle apart, releasing the turtle. The turtle stops and successfully lays its eggs. As the crew start to leave, one of the eggs hatched. Luffy sees this and realizes that the Golden Crown is referring to the broken turtle egg shells, which are literally made of gold. They take one of the shells with them as they leave what's left of Mecha Island, but it ends up sinking into the water as they sail off towards their next adventure. 
===Foxy's Return Arc===
On the Going Merry, the Straw Hats find themselves dealing with a storm that keeps growing larger. Zoro and Usopp try to keep the mast in place while Nami tries to find a way out of the storm. As this is happening, Luffy spots Foxy, Hamburg, and Porche on a raft in trouble, and decides to pull them in. As the three stay till the morning, Nami spots the Sexy Foxy and the two boats dock next to each other. Foxy is then surprised to learn that his ship and crew have been taken over by the Fanged Toad Pirates, who then challenge Foxy to a Davy Back Fight. As Foxy loses one-sidedly, Luffy is upset that the Fanged Toad Pirates captain, Kibagaeru cheated, leading to an argument and Foxy throwing the afro Luffy used in the boxing match against him. As Foxy encourages Luffy to fight him on his behalf, Luffy puts the Afro on, ready to go. The Straw hats then proceed to beat up the Fang Toad pirates, effectively giving Foxy control once again.
Despite Luffy helping Foxy take his ship and crew back, Foxy betrays the Straw Hats by using his powers on them and letting them fall into a pit trap. As the crew easily brakes out of the trap, Foxy gets in the way of their escape with his powers, but then runs away again. Nami and Usopp find a door with a message that only men can enter. When they both go in, they find that it is a passage over the Sexy Foxy's brig, filled with the Foxy Pirates' troublemakers that have not seen a woman in a long time. Nami finds it too uncomfortable to cross, so Usopp reasons that the prisoners will be vulnerable to light after their time in the dark brig, and throws a flash-bang. Nami is able to make it through, although Usopp trips and falls, and the prisoners hold him in place.
Luckily, Luffy and the others manage to escape and force Foxy to end all hostilities. As the Straw Hats leave and disembark on another island for a barbecue, Foxy and his subordinates attack in a large crab-shaped submarine, leading Luffy to mistakenly try to cook and eat the crab. When he couldn't, he throws the submarine onto the beach and it explodes, officially ending Foxy's pursuit of the crew. Despite this, however, the crew's worries were not over as they go into the nearby jungle, only to find a mysterious, sleeping man, who a terrified Robin states is one of the strongest individuals in the Marines; Admiral Aokiji. 
===Post-Enies Lobby Arc===
==Thriller Bark Saga==
===Ice Hunter Arc===
The Straw Hats, onboard their new ship, the Thousand Sunny encounter a damaged ship, whose members led by a man named Stansen they decide to help, but who then try to trick them. They are then revealed to be working for the bounty hunter group named Accino Family, led by a man named Don Accino.
At the same time, Salchow of the Accino family receives Stansen's report and tricks the Straw Hats into moving into a field of icebergs near Hyokaido, an area that is sometimes known as the frozen highway. Once trapped in the Hyokaido, the two boats have nowhere to go as the icebergs seem to move according to the Sunny's movements and lock them in.
Meanwhile, the Straw Hats learn that the former Phoenix Pirates reportedly sailed into the New World but were heavily beaten there, losing the life of Vigaro, a crew member and vice-captain. Thereafter, they lost their flag to the Accino Family and became their soldiers-though only Stansen shows any "loyalty" to them. When their heavily injured captain, Puzzle recovers, he says that Stansen's decision "wasn't bad", that they will no longer be pirates or sail to the New World and that they will stay the bounty hunters' underlings. No one in the crew agrees with this, especially the very young and passionate member named Jiro, but the captain is not moved at all. Luffy, who was with Chopper on the Phoenix's ship to look on the injured Puzzle, head back, but the rope that was used to hold the ship close to the Sunny breaks in a rampage of several mysterious underwater "eruptions", separating the two ships.
The group trapped on the Sunny are encountered by Lil, Salchow, Arbell, and Hockera. They claim that it's impossible for them to escape and that all the crew will die. Franky, however, gets the ship out by using a "Coup de Burst". However after this happens, one of Lil's flying fish manages to steal the Straw Hats flag. As the crew decide to reclaim their flag without Luffy finding out, They notice that Zoro is missing, and as they try to follow the flying fish and discover that the icebergs are in reality being moved around by flocks of penguins, an iceberg is rammed into the Sunny and throws both Usopp and Sanji overboard, because Robin is unable to grab them in time. As they fall off the ship into an ice cavern, they are later confronted by Salchow and his wife Arbell. 
As the battle goes on, Salchow and Arbell continuously skate around the duo, then throws Arbell at Sanji and rams her skates into his face, which pleases Sanji, but annoys Usopp, who finally has enough and knocks Arbell out with a shot from his Kabuto, which enrages Salchow, and also Sanji, which annoys Usopp again. As Salchow charges at Usopp, he slips on the ice, and Usopp decides to shoot him as well. As Salchow and Arbell get back up and continue their attack on Usopp and Sanji, this time focusing on Usopp simply for payback, Sanji kicks Salchow out of formation and then catches Arbell, not exactly to her enjoyment, as she moves away from him in annoyance. After this, the two reveal that they have been skating around them in a circle on purpose, and their real goal was to break the ice beneath them and have them fall into penguin infested waters, which is exactly what happens. Usopp and Sanji are then "fished" out of the water by them and captured as a result. 
The two are taken to Lovely Land, the Accino Family's headquarters. In an underground ice chamber, Usopp and Sanji are trapped, later joined by Nami and Franky, who were also captured by a member of the Accino Family. Franky tries to get everyone and escape with a "Coup de Boo", but he is out of cola and is too weak to get them out. Later while still trapped, Zoro falls down into the chamber, unaware of what's going on. After bringing him up to speed, the crew try to think of a way out, when they are then sent food on the request of Robin. Amongst the food are 3 bottles of cola, which allow Franky's Coup de Vent to blow away the cap of their prison. This allows the group to escape before freezing. They go and search for the flag.
The newly freed Straw Hats search for the room with Don Accino's "collection", but they make the mistake of letting Zoro lead them, which ends in them getting hopelessly lost. While wandering around the Accino Family's castle, they encounter Robin and know she is safe. She departs, intending to let Lil show her to her father's room. Just as she leaves, the Straw Hats hear Luffy's screaming and notice he has arrived after following Campacino and his twin brother Brindo. In order to get the flag back before Luffy, they then split, most of them getting out to help him fight the whole Accino Family (excluding Lil and Don Accino). 
Wanting payback, Sanji and Usopp go after Salchow and Arbell, with Sanji stopping them and the brothers Brindo and Campacino from attacking Luffy. Usopp watches Sanji get distracted by Arbell again, but is happy when Nami arrives to finish her off in Sanji's place. With Luffy preparing to fight against Accino, the others took the opportunity to go back into the mansion, with Nami staying with Luffy to monitor him and the others go to retrieve the flag. There, Sanji and Usopp notice that Franky has disappeared, as Franky got to the Shark Submerge and returned to the Sunny to help guard the ship from the penguins. Despite some trouble as Luffy and the Don fight on, and Lovely Land starts melting away before their eyes due to the Don's devil fruit ability, the Straw Hats and the Phoenix Pirates, meanwhile, manage to recover their flags. After this, Luffy and Accino's intense battle reaches its end, with Luffy withstanding Accino's heat and managing to deliver the finishing blow.
After the intense battle between Accino and Luffy ends, wherein the Don is defeated and Hyokaido was completely melted, The Straw Hats then depart as Hyokaido begins to fall apart, while ensuring to put the flag back on the ship before Luffy notices its actually gone. As they sail away from the area, with the defeated Accino Family sail away with the Don in tow, Campacino and the remaining grunts follow them and try to get revenge. Then suddenly, the Phoenix Pirates arrive and Puzzle challenges Campacino instead. While they sail off, Chopper is worried about them, but Luffy says to see how determined they are and that nothing will happen to them. As Puzzle promises to meet the Straw Hats again in the New World, the crew sail away from the once frozen area, and continue onward toward their next adventure.
===Romance Dawn Story===
===Spa Island Arc===
As the Straw Hats relax on Spa Island, they met Lina, her sister Sayo, and her pet sea raccoon, Nukky, who can shape-shift. Sayo is holding a notebook, and when asked about it, she decides that she and her sister should leave. This is when Foxy, along his loyal crewmates, Porche and Hamburg suddenly appear much to the Straw Hats' surprise (though Luffy takes awhile to remember who he is). While still miffed at his defeat since their last meeting, Foxy's only concern is Sayo's notebook. With a new trick up his sleeves, Foxy incapacitates the straw hats and take girls, and takes the notebook. Just as Foxy is about to have them all fall down into the ocean, Franky and Brook show up, and Luffy asks them to beat Foxy up, to which they do, causing a panic on the island in the process. As Luffy and the others make back up, Foxy tries and fails to use his new trick against them, and Luffy sends him and his crewmates flying with a Gum Gum Bazooka.
As the situation dies down, the sister's explain that the notebook contain's their father's notes for creating a gem, and that the last clue to making it was somewhere on Spa Island. Overhearing the conversation, the owner of the island, Doran takes Sayo hostage, revealing that he was scheming to take the treasure for himself, having been the one that employed the Foxy Pirates and set them loose on the sisters. Doran then tells the crew to find the treasure if they want the girl back. The group panic over what to do until Luffy makes the suggestion of simply destroying the island much to Doran's panic.
As the whole crew, including Zoro, begin destroying the island, an angry Doran decides to stop the bunch by showing them Sayo tied to a stake and a gigantic cannon aimed at her. To show he was serious, he fires a warning shot that barely misses Sayo. Doran then demands the notebook for Sayo's life. Lina tempted to do it was stopped by Sayo, telling her not to give up on their father or his goal, and managed to convince Lina to refuse giving up the notebook. The Straw Hats then proceed to stop Doran and rescue Sayo. Luffy, with Lina and Nukky holding onto him, jumps into the air, uses Gear 3, and preform his Gum Gum Giant Axe, splitting the island in half and sinking it, which annoyed the crew since they weren’t out of harms way yet. After doing this, Luffy shrinks and he, Lina, and Nukky land in the ocean. As they are being rescued by Sanji, Lina sees an x-shaped crack in the ocean floor below the island. After telling the crew this, they all realized that the clue was under the island the whole time. The heat from the lava soon makes steam form around the group and the reflection from the sun causes a circular rainbow effect. The sisters then realize that the steam is the final clue to make the gem.
A few days later, the Straw Hats' continue their journey when Nukky flies in and delivers a letter to the crew from his owners. Sayo and Lina succeeded in making the rainbow gem and are living happily with their father who returned, alive and well, just in time to see the creation of the gem. They even sent the gem to the Straw Hats as a thank you, and while the crew gather around to look at the gem, it starts to rain candy out of nowhere, and the candy knocks the gem out of Luffy's hand, causing Nami to panic and demand that everyone search for it on the deck. 
==Summit War Saga==
===Little East Blue Arc===
===One Piece Film: Strong World===
On board the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats read news of attacks on East Blue. Luffy says they will return to East Blue to protect it when Shiki's ship appears overhead. After warning him of the storm ahead, he comes down to meet them. There he reveals he has a Devil Fruit power to make any inanimate object he touches ignore gravity and float. After learning it was Nami that delivered the warning, and that they are headed to East Blue, Shiki offers to take them there and uses his power on Sunny. Together the two ships travel to the floating island seen before where Shiki suddenly kidnaps Nami. Sanji along with the others try to rescue her, but by controlling the Thousand Sunny using his power, he escapes them, as well as scattering them among the fragments of the island.
Sanji and Usopp find themselves on an island surrounded by a cherry tree forest. Sanji wails for Nami and Robin, with Usopp urging him to shut up. Due to Sanji's loud outbursts it attracts the attention of many of the giant monster animals dwelling nearby. The two escape by jumping on some nearby hanging vines but discover they are hanging off the whiskers of a giant Toramata Tiger. Usopp is about be attacked by it but Sanji jumps in and delivers a powerful kick to its head, knocking the animal out. This however attracts the attention of a herd of Cowballs. The battle with them causes the ground to break and the two to fall below into a lake connected to another floating island.
Sanji and Usopp happen across a village, where everyone appears to have small wings on their arms, learn that Shiki also takes all the men and young women to his royal palace, leaving the village with only the very young and old with strict monitoring around the clock. They soon meet up with Zoro and Chopper. When the rest of the crew shows at the village, Robin informs them of Shiki's plan. They learn there that Shiki is planning to let loose the animals on the island into East Blue in a gambit to force the surrender of the World Government. They also learn that to prove the power of the animals he is planning a demonstration using a village on the floating island.
Shiki then arrives sometime later and confronts the Straw Hats who are there. Usopp attacks with Fire Bird Star, but Shiki dodges it with ease. Despite some initial success in the others fending him off, Usopp and the Straw Hats are defeated, and Nami is coerced into rejoining Shiki by him agreeing to leave them, and her home town be. Usopp, the only remaining crew member conscious, tries to stop her, but Shiki knocks him out.
Xiao reappears and gives them the Dial Nami left them. Her mother, who earlier had expressed relief about the animals being sent to East Blue, apologizes for saying how happy she was for Shiki leaving for East Blue. They then play the message, and after hearing only the first bit of it, Luffy is angered to the point that he will not listen to the rest (the rest of the crew does, however).
Back at Shiki's place, Nami is found to have in fact been attempting to blow up the plants protecting his palace, but was overcome by the poison. Shiki traps her near the plants and heads off to meet the pirate captains gathering. The Straw Hats arrive at his palace and burst down the gates and make short work of the guards outside. While preparing a toast to the commencement of the operation, the Straw Hats march into the main meeting room brandishing various firearms and a new wardrobe.
After a short confrontation, where Shiki calls them simply a suicide squad, and reveals hundreds of men around them. They unload their firearms in the room, defeating most those gathered, much to Shiki's dismay, then split up to defeat the rest. Luffy chases after Shiki, with the others helping fight off his minions and soldiers. Usopp and Chopper go off to try and rescue Nami. Chopper tracks her smell to the forest where she is slowly dying from the poison toxins. They find her but are hit by some explosives that destroy the surrounding trees. They quickly grab Nami and escape from the horde of giant animals that begin their onslaught towards Shiki's fortress.
Usopp and Chopper begin their search of the fortress for the science laboratory to retrieve the antidote. Shiki shows up and stops them, surrounding them with his Devil Fruit abilities. Luffy then appears and stops Shiki, as the two escape with Nami in tow. They find the laboratory and break in, finding a group of IQ Plants. Dr Indigo appears, laughing at them. Chopper says he recognizes him as a scientist from the smell of chemicals on him. Usopp demands him to hand over the antidote, but he refuses. Zoro shows up and challenges Indigo for the antidote. He easily finishes him off and retrieves the antidote for them.
When Nami awakens Usopp consoles her, explaining that the antidote is working on her and everyone is all fighting for her sake. Nami then orders the two to backtrack to the royal palace. There, Usopp and Chopper threaten one of the remaining scientists to have Shiki move the island into a storm cloud. After Shiki is defeated by Luffy, Usopp along with the other Straw Hats escape using Thousand Sunny, using Shiki's pirate sail as a parachute. Usopp is seen much later on the ship as Nami recovers.

===Episode of Nami===
With Nami having stolen the Going Merry and headed back to Arlong Park. Zoro, Usopp and Johnny had already went after her earlier, and Luffy, Sanji, and Yosaku follow suit. In the meantime, it is revealed that Nami is a member of the Arlong Pirates as she reports back to Arlong, who soon celebrates her return with a rowdy party. At the same time, Zoro's group arrives on the island at the destroyed Gosa Village. Zoro roams off by himself, and Usopp and Johnny are quickly spotted by a Fish-Man patrol. Johnny abandons Usopp, and Usopp runs for cover and attempts to attack one of the Fish-Men from behind, but he is knocked unconscious by a woman before he can do anything; she remarks that it is a bad idea to attack the Fish-Men. He awakes in the woman's house back in Cocoyasi Village, who reveals herself as Nami's sister, Nojiko. She tells Usopp of Nami's status as an Arlong pirate, which shocks him.
Later, Usopp and Nojiko leave her house and discover Arlong beating up Genzo. Right before Arlong is about to kill Genzo, Usopp snipes him from a rooftop, which promptly sends him into a rage; Usopp then runs away. At the same time, Zoro roams into Arlong Park, makes quick work of the Fish-Men there, and then leaves. Arlong returns with a captured Usopp, devastated at the loss. Johnny then arrives and eavesdrops on them. They ponder if Nami brought Zoro and Usopp there to rebel, and they prepare to kill Usopp. Nami arrives, however, and proves her loyalty by "stabbing" and "killing" Usopp in front of them; in reality, she faked it to let him escape. But, she manages to fool the Fish-Man and Johnny, and the latter flees horrified.
As Johnny tells the others what happened at Arlong Park, Nami shows up and coldly tells Luffy and the others to leave, leading to Luffy simply laying down to take a nap, claiming he refuses to listen to her. She runs away infuriated at his stubbornness, and when the crew refuse to budge, Johnny and Yosaku leave, wary of the situation. Usopp then shows up at Luffy and the crew's location, alive, and tells them how Nami actually saved his life. Initially puzzled by her behavior, the crew then realizes that there must be some deeper motive and goal than just money going on in Nami's head, and just then, Nojiko comes up to them. Wishing to make them understand why they have to leave, she solemnly offers to tell her and Nami's backstory; Luffy opts not to listen and goes on a walk, and the rest of them stay behind to listen (although Zoro almost immediately falls asleep). Johnny and Yosaku also listen, hiding in the bushes.
After listening to the story, the others meet up with Luffy after Nami finally asks him for help. Angry and pumped up, the crew head to Arlong Park. Upon arrival, Luffy slips past the Fish-Men thugs and decks Arlong, who goes flying into the wall. Luffy dispatches all of the "small fry" using Gomu Gomu no Pinwheel, although he gets himself stuck in the cement using the technique. Usopp tries to free him, but accidentally slings Luffy at Chew, who then starts to chase him out of the park. Outside the park, Usopp fakes his death to escape Chew. But, he feels ashamed of himself for being so cowardly while everybody else has shown their bravery, so he decides to stand up and fight. However, Usopp uses a variety of sneaky tricks to get the better of Chew and knocks him out, knowing Chew would've killed him had he fought him head on. 
As Arlong's crew is taken down one by one, Arlong becomes enraged at their defeat, and he and Luffy viciously trade blows, eventually ending up Nami's cartography room. Luffy notices Nami's blood-stained pen while Arlong talks on his intent to use Nami; both of which get Luffy very, very angry. Luffy then begins to destroy the room while Nami watches from below. Arlong attempts to stop him by biting him. But then, Luffy uses a single Gomu Gomu no Axe to defeat Arlong and completely destroys Arlong Park in the process, and he emerges from the rubble and screams to Nami that they are friends. The village celebrates Arlong's defeat, and the crew promptly beats up Nezumi and the Marines (which contributed to Luffy's first bounty). 
Everybody celebrates at a village wide festival, and later that day, Genzo makes Luffy promise to always keep Nami happy, which he complies with. Nami then gets her Arlong tattoo replaced with her own symbol, and the crew sets sail from Cocoyasi Village, to which an older Nami finishes reminiscing about her past two years ago, as everyone is on the coated Thousand Sunny at the Sabaody Archipelago, as she and the crew, Usopp included, prepare to sail to Fish-Man Island.

===Episode of Luffy===
During some spare time on the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats have a mock introductory show with Usopp hosting. Once Luffy's turn was done, they are interrupted by an attack from several Marine battleships. During the battle, the Straw Hats are forced to make an emergency Coup de Burst in order to escape a sudden attack from above, in the form of an immensely large cannonball. Crash landing on a nearby island, they decide to explore while Franky repairs and moves the ship. While Franky works on a way to move the ship back into the water, the rest of the Straw Hats explore the local town to re-supply what was broken or lost in the landing. However they all notice that the town is in short supply of everything and that only women, children or the elderly run the shops. Eventually Brook, Robin and Nami discover the site of a past cannon attack located directly opposite the Marine base.
Later, Luffy comes across what appears to be a fruit stall on the outskirts of the town. Trying to eat several pieces, he quickly discovers that they are actually fake fruits made of wax. From behind, an old man approaches and quickly bursts into laughter over Luffy's mistake, then introduces himself as Diego, the man who had sculpted the fruits. Going inside, Diego is suddenly left dumbstruck as the entirety of his home had been blown away except the front wall and, upon looking over the hill discovers that it was the Thousand Sunny which had caused the damage in its crash landing. Apologizing for the destruction they had caused, Luffy is then led underground where he discovers the pride of Diego's collection, a multitude of life-like wax sculptures of famous pirates.
Luffy recognizes many of the sculptures in the collection room, but after seeing Shanks' sculpture, he is reminded of his childhood and the days when Shanks and his crew had visited Foosha Village, which culminated with his consumption of the Gomu Gomu no Mi and a near lethal encounter with the mountain bandit Higuma where Shanks had sacrificed his arm to save Luffy, earning the boy's eternal respect and admiration. Later, Usopp and Chopper discover the underground section and marvel at the wax figures, leading Diego to show them how his particular wax was created. Noting a poorly crafted figure of Whitebeard on a nearby shelf, Diego mentions that the wax itself is of a much higher quality than the one he can create and demonstrates this by easily destroying his own wax by knocking the sculpture against it, though notes that it is weak against fire. Asking who had created it, Diego admits that the man was no longer around and had left him to join the Marines, which was his son, Regis.
Diego then explains the island's situation. Hand Island is an island of artisans that was once under the protection of Whitebeard. However, after he died in the Summit War of Marineford, rival pirates quickly set their sights on his territory. Marines quickly stepped in and built a base nearby which restored peace. Eventually, during mid-construction, Commodore Bilić was put in command. He called for a meeting of the townspeople and asked that they help build a cannon to help ward off pirate attacks which the people happily agreed to. Among them was Regis, who had joined the Marines to help the island, much to the dismay of Diego, who had hoped he would follow in his footsteps. However, once the cannon was completed, Bilić fired on the town as "practice", destroying several buildings and killing a few innocents as well. It soon became obvious that he just wanted the cannon for his own ends and used the families of the builders as his own hostages lest he fire the cannon on the rest of the town.
After telling this tale, Diego starts to head off to the Marine base to give Regis the Whitebeard figurine. But Luffy offers to go instead. Luffy later regroups with the entire crew and tells them his intention. After hearing this the others draw lots to see who'll go with him with Sanji and Usopp chosen. The next day the three head for the Marine base on the Mini Merry. Once they reach the base, the marines open fire once they notice Luffy forcing Sanji and him to invade the base which quickly leads into a chase. Eventually, the two find Regis and give him the figurine but Luffy is captured in a seastone cage once he steps on the platform where Regis's cell is. The wheel turns towards the water submerging the two. Sanji manages to jump in and free the pair and they escape into ocean via a sewer fan where they regroup with Usopp. The four rest on a reef where Regis explains he made the doll when he was six. When he went to join the Marines, Diego tried to at least have him take the figurine with him but he declined. Regis feels that he disappointed his father for not following the path he wanted. But after seeing the figure and being told that Diego always treasured it, he realizes that his father still believes in him. Likewise Diego, after being told why Regis was thrown in jail, is happy of his conviction to protect the island.
After hearing this, the four then notice that Bilić has started firing on the town, thinking the villagers are hiding the Straw Hats and demands they turn them over or he will destroy the town. Luffy's group head back to the base and make their way inside with Usopp and Sanji distracting the Marines while Luffy and Regis sneak in. Bilić, thinking the townspeople sent the Straw Hats after him, fires another cannon at the town but it's sliced in half by Zoro. As Zoro continues to defend the town from Bilić's cannon, Luffy and Regis make their way into the base and gather as much wax as they can. The Straw Hats fight against the Marines while Regis makes his way up to the cannon's barrel and activates the wax, causing it to backfire and destroy itself.
Bilić emerges from the rubble of the cannon, obviously angered. He burns Regis's Whitebeard figure to mock Luffy as well as him then reveals he has a mobile cannon as a back up. Luffy faces off against him, but suffers trouble due to the cannon's speed, the constant bombardment Bilić fires into his rubber body and the spinning tops fitted with blades sent after him. His crew (along with some help from Koby) help take out the tops and Luffy finally manages to beat Bilić by getting in close enough to grab his snake puppet and pummel him with an Elephant Gatling, destroying his cannon in the process.
Kizaru suddenly shows up much to the shock of everyone. The Marines believe he was the one who stopped Bilić and cheer for him as the Straw Hats make a hasty exit. However it turns out the Kizaru is really another wax sculpture created by Diego who made it on the request of Koby. Using the charade (as well as Diego throwing his voice to imitate the Admiral), Koby places Bilić under arrest and states he is likely to be court martialed while declaring that it was never the Marines' intention to enslave the island. He orders the Marines to help rebuild the island while Diego and Regis reconcile. Koby watches the Straw Hats go, promising he'll catch up to Luffy soon to which Luffy, seemingly hearing this, laughs in agreement. However as the crew flees, they realize they accidentally left Zoro on Hand Island.
===Z's Ambition Arc===
===Episode of Merry===
===Glorious Island===
As the crew leisurely mess around on the Thousand Sunny, Usopp is seen happily working in his workshop as Luffy, Nami, and Brook are having fun in the pool. As Brook is admiring Nami's swimsuit, an angry Sanji shows up and asks Brook what he thinks he's looking at, before he begins staring at her as well, with Usopp disappointed in both them behaving like this. As Luffy enjoys the pool, he soon notices the presence of a Sea Monster with the appearance of a horse towering the Sunny. As everyone notices the monster, they begin to panic, as Luffy fights the monster in order for Sanji to make dinner out of it. After Luffy defeats the monster, he accidentally knocks his away, forcing everyone to chase after it with the Sunny. 
As the chase begins, Nami is simply happy that she is safe, despite Chopper trying to revive Brook, who she almost drowned, with Usopp and Robin watching. They eventually reach where the monster landed, with Luffy excited to eat it. As Zoro reminds Sanji not to forget the booze as well, Sanji comments on how that's all he thinks about, leading to the two of them arguing. Franky gets involved and tries to calm Zoro down, which only makes him annoyed at Franky, until Franky suggests that they should have a party. As Franky starts to talk about having a cherry blossom party, everyone is confused but interested.
Later, while Nami is sunbathing on the deck, Chopper offers her some of his milk, but Nami states that she would prefer orange juice instead, with Sanji overhearing and happily preparing to make her some, to Usopp's confusion. When Sanji asks Usopp what he's doing, he states that there are some pests in the garden, and that he's making pesticide to deal with them, with Sanji then telling him to do that outside of the kitchen. Robin then comes into the kitchen asking Usopp if he knew where the sprinklers were located. Usopp states that it's located in his Usopp Factory and that he just got done modifying it. As Usopp hands Robin the modified Sprinkler, he states that he made it Zombie themed, with Robin saying thanks and stating that it was beautiful, with Sanji asking Robin what was so beautiful about it.
Later, Franky explains to the other guys that their party should be a buffet. With everyone originally against the idea, Franky goes on to list the different number of foods that they can have thanks to the sea monster meat, which gets the others dreaming and imagining the food as well. With everyone imagining their own island of food as they wait, Sanji shows up telling everyone that the real meat is ready, Luffy yells at Usopp to hurry up so he can teach him how to imagine stuff as the cherry blossoms start to rain down and the party starts. Usopp puts on his hat as Franky makes cherry blossoms rain down across the Sunny.
===One Piece Film: Z===
Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates are having a cherry blossom party. Luffy is goofing off, stuffing himself with meat while Brook is singing. Chopper becomes distressed when inhaling poison drifting in the air, while Brook is inspired to write a song about it. The smell is shown coming from Usopp spraying poison over his Pop Greens, as Robin happily waters some of the plants. Usopp reassures Luffy that the poison is merely meant for killing worms with Zoro showing a liking to the tainted flavor of his alcohol. 
Volcanic ash suddenly begins to rain from the sky much to their confusion. Nami studies her Log Pose and finds the needle spinning where the volcano had erupted from. She realizes that the needle must be spinning around because the volcano must have destroyed the island and the needle no longer has a magnetic field to lock on. Franky says it is impossible, but she points out that they are in the New World, anything is possible. Usopp whispers to her that they have to hide this from Luffy and choose a safer route. Despite it, Luffy notices the spinning needle, deciding to head in that direction. Usopp whines, but Nami tells him to trust in her navigational skills. He warns her that the paths they choose could cost them their lives, but she tells him the matter is out of their hands now. 
As Usopp continues to whine, Luffy spots the battered body of Z clinging to life on a piece of driftwood out at sea, and attempts to rescue him. When he grabs ahold of his mechanical arm, he becomes weak and Sanji and Usopp having to help pull Z aboard. Chopper examines Z, but finds that he should be fine. Nami shows signs of suspicion, worrying that they picked up someone problematic. Robin notices his arm is built out of Seastone, the reason why Luffy became weak when he touched him. Sanji reminds them all that Seastone is used against Devil Fruit users with him and Zoro debating whether to throw him overboard. Chopper defends him, with Luffy ordering him to save his life and that he would deal with him if he was an enemy.
Z instantly attacks and throws Luffy through the wall after he tells him that they talk and Luffy reveals that he is a pirate. He asks Luffy why he is a pirate to which Luffy proudly responds he will be the Pirate King. This comment infuriates Z, as he madly swings his Battle Smasher around. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji all begin fighting him with Z able to hold them all off with relative ease. Ain and Binz then arrive with a fleet of ships and board the Sunny, announcing they will be confiscating it. Franky attacks, with Binz summoning vines that are able to subdue him. Robin tries attacking, but he proves too quick for her to grab him with her arms.
Usopp, Chopper and Brook rush to help, but Binz ensnares them all in vines as well. Nami briefly battles Ain, but she uses her Devil Fruit ability and shrinks Nami down to a small child. Chopper breaks out of the vines and charges her, but Ain evades him and uses her ability on him as well. She goes on to use her power on the subdued Brook. Robin tries to grab her before she can continue, and demands to know what she did to Nami and Chopper. However, Ain takes advantage of Robin's powers, and touches her duplicated arms to de-age her to the appearance of a young teen.
Ain explains she has the ability to revert things with a touch by 12 years. She tells Robin she would only need to touch her two more times and she would disappear.
Z overpowers the Monster Trio, as he holds Luffy in his grip, helpless against him. He chastises Luffy's dream, telling him he'll never be Pirate King with his strength. Curiosity piqued, he asks Luffy his name. When he tells him, Z connects him as Garp's grandson and spares his life. He announces to the Straw Hats he will destroy all pirates, as the Neo Marines begin to attack the Sunny. With the ship being damaged and most of the crew unable to fight back, Luffy has them retreat. He frees Franky from his bonds, as he uses a Coup de Burst to escape.
Luffy and the Straw Hats are recovering on a nearby island, where Franky goes to work on fixing the Sunny. He tells Luffy to go after Z while he repairs the damage done. Chopper regrets saving Z's life, but Sanji tells him a pirate should live without regrets of what he believes in. Nami tells him that they must track them down, or else she will never get her original body back. She would not be as helpful a Navigator to them without her full grown body. Nami proposes gathering intel on their enemy as the first place to start.
Mobston, an old man approaches them and asks if they had a run in with Z. He tells them many pirate ships that have come to the island have been attacked by him. He tells that many who had been attacked by him, lost their will to continue and left the New World. He is pleasantly surprised Luffy still wishes to fight him, after losing so badly to him and offers up his finest equipment to use in their quest. Nami tells the crew to not arouse suspicion, they need a new change of clothes first. They are told their best place to start is to take the Sea Train to Secon Island.
As they head to their next destination, they split up their search. Luffy, Brook, Sanji, and Zoro, all relax in a local hot spring to rest, recover, and prepare for the upcoming fight. While elsewhere, Nami and Robin have gotten work at a bar. Robin woos the crowd with her good looks and dancing, as Nami works as a server. Usopp is disguised as Robin's manager, and Chopper works outside as a shoe shiner. Later, Nami and Usopp meet up with Chopper to share information. Chopper reports he heard rumors of some Marines showing up because of Z. Usopp says there are lots of Marines where he was, but is unsure if it has to do with Z or Robin's popularity. Though on aside, they did make some good money (which Nami instantly takes when Usopp shows Chopper).
As Nami continues gathering information, she is caught by a Marine Captain after learning information of Z's plan on destroying the End Points. When the Captain becomes suspicious of her, and asks her why she is so curious about him, she panics, and points the blame to Usopp. The Captain tries to escort her away for questioning, but Robin subdues the Captain and the group take off, their cover blown. As they catch up with Luffy's group, another group of Marines are chasing them down. Luffy dispatches them all with his Supreme King Haki. Reluctantly, the Marine Captain tells him the location of Z. The Dyna Stones on the island explode, causing the volcano to erupt. Z informs his men the destruction the Second Point has been a success and they need only destroy one more island.
With Z in front of them once more, Luffy charges forth and attacks with his Gomu Gomu no Rifle technique. Z blocks it, showing mild surprise to see Luffy. Luffy demands Z change his friends back to normal, as Ain and Binz attack. As Luffy's rematch with Z continues the nearby volcano begins to erupt and destroy the island. Kuzan saves the lives of some civilians by knocking away a volcanic rock and tells them to get to the Sea Train. Kuzan looks on at the devastation, wondering if Z has finally lost his mind.
As Luffy and Z's fight grows more intense, Z mocking Luffy telling him if he keeps being afraid of his Battle Smasher, he'll never land any hits on him. He strikes the ground, sending Luffy flying away. He catches up and fires more bullets at Luffy that he deflects back at him. Luffy tells him his bullets will never harm him, until Z pulls out a small pistol and fires a bullet into his shoulder made from Seastone. Mocking Luffy further, he tells him the strongest people in the New World would never have let themselves be hit with it and he relies too much on is Devil Fruit power. He takes Luffy's hat, promising to bury it himself once he has finished destroying the age of pirates.
Luffy tries to grab it from him, telling Z the hat was given to him by Shanks. He grabs Luffy in his powerful grips and tells him Shanks, along with the rest of the Four Emperors will all die before they know what is happening. Luffy is enraged, screaming at him to not mock Shanks as Z blasts Luffy away. Zoro and the others find Luffy, and help carry him to safety as the deadly ash cloud rolls down the mountain. Usopp uses one of his Pop Greens to make a banana shaped boat they ride against the wind with. They are unable to escape and just as their deaths seemed imminent, Kuzan encases the magma and ash in a gigantic layer of ice giving them time to escape. Luffy and the Straw Hats board the sea train and flee, just before the island blows.
The Straw Hats return to Dock Island, as Luffy is patched up and has the Seastone bullet removed. Kuzan appears before the crew again, telling Luffy to stop moping. Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Robin are shown terrified, but Luffy assures them it is alright. Kuzan explains Z's plan to the crew of destroying the three Endpoints with the Dyna Stones to release the Grande Imbuto, a fissure line underneath the Grand Line. If Z destroys the last one, this will allow the magma flow to be release and flood the sea with fire. Though doing so will not only kill pirates, but innocents as well.
Now that two of the Endpoints have been destroyed, Z is about to go to the last one, Piriodo, and unless the Straw Hats stop him, the Pirate Era will end. The Endpoints had been considered a legend, with most thinking it was nonsense. The government covered up the truth about them, to dissuade pirates from using it. That only the World Government and highest ranking officers of the Marines know about it. He laments that it is an Admiral abusing this knowledge above all else. He reminds them that he is not doing this out of power, but to punish pirates.
Luffy remains undeterred despite being defeated twice by Z, vowing to chase him down and get his hat back. If he lets Z keep his hat, he could never face Shanks or be worthy of the Pirate King title. Kuzan then gives the crew an Eternal Pose leading to Piriodo. If they lose to Z, they will be destroyed along with the New World. Or, if they win they will be attacked by the Marines. With that said he leaves them to their own fates. Franky then reminds the crew about the equipment they were promised earlier, showing a large stash of armor and weapons Mobston had saved up from the previous crews that suffered from Z's wrath. hey suit up in their new gear and head out. As they are leaving, Gari approaches Luffy telling him he wants to grow up to be a hero but cant decide whether he wants to be an Admiral or a pirate. Sanji flatly states pirates are not heroes. But Luffy chimes in saying if both feel the same, then it is okay and just do whatever he pleases. Gari watches the Straw Hat Pirates leave, filled with admiration for them.
The Straw Hats intercept a blockade of Neo Marine warships guarding Piriodo. They blast through their defenses with the Gaon Cannon before landing on the beaches with an army waiting for them. The Straw Hats begin fighting, using their new weapons to help. As the fight against the neo marines intensifies, Usopp uses Hissatsu Midori Bosshi, summoning a forest of strong bamboo sticks pulverizing the soldiers. The Straw Hats win their battles, standing victorious over the defeated Neo Marines. However an army of modified Pacifista appear and begin their onslaught. The crew are forced to run until Franky arrives in the Franky Shogun to turn the tide. Franky takes on the Pacifista, able to fight them all off with his superior strength. Once clustered together, he destroys them with a powerful Radical Beam. After Ain's defeat by Zoro, her effects begin to wear off. Nami grows back to her adult size, with the armor she is sporting now barely fitting her body. Chopper reverts back growing slightly, along with Robin and Brook (though it does not seem to show any signs of change on him). The group head on to catch up with Luffy.
The Straw Hats catch up to the battle, seeing Luffy had fought hard against Z and had managed to leave an imprint of his fist inside Z's giant metal fist. Z asks him why he wants to fight him so much. That even if he defeats him, nobody will thank him for his efforts for the stigma of being a pirate. Luffy responds if he cannot defeat him, he will never be able to become the Pirate King. The Battle Smasher breaks then and there and falls from Z's arm, revealing a smaller mechanical arm he can still use. Z tells Luffy he is going to dedicate his life to ending his ambition, challenging him for a final bout.
Z and Luffy activate their Armament Haki, their arms turning a hardened black. The two engage in a brutal fist fight, both striking each other with imbued Haki. Kuzan is seen watching their match from a distance, stating "Black Arm" Zephyr has returned. Z and Luffy both give each other hard punches to the chest and stomach, giving Luffy a moment to recoil and puke. Luffy strikes back a punch that knocks Z's glasses right off. 
A brief flashback is seen in his mind of his early childhood, rattling his early memories. Z becomes elated, that he is being given such a good fight. Both Luffy and him are worn out, still pushing each other with punches back and forth. He corners Luffy and begins pounding on him, with Luffy showing little sign he can defend himself anymore. As Z begins to gain the upper hand, Luffy pushes him back with a kick.
Fighting on their last reserves, Luffy shouts he is going to be the Pirate King with Z shouting his name in absolute confidence. After exchanging a few more blows to one another, Luffy finally collapses from exhaustion. Z falls to the ground after, unable to fight anymore too. Z bitterly says he's gotten old, and his body cannot keep up with him anymore. He finds it disappointing, telling Luffy he was enjoying fighting him.
As the battle ends, the Straw Hats rush over to Luffy's aid, with Ain and Binz doing the same for Z. Z tells Luffy to finish him, but Luffy merely tells him he is already satisfied as he regains his straw hat, giving him a smile. He offers to continue fighting him, if he wants but Z turns him down, also being satisfied.
Kizaru then arrives with his army, telling them he is going to kill them all. Z says he's done everything he's wanted to do, and now will face the price for it as he marches towards the Marine army. He dismisses Luffy, and tells him to leave the rest to him. Ain tries to rush to his side, but Kuzan summons a giant wall of ice dividing everyone from him. Luffy silently looks on, honoring his sacrifice.
The Straw Hats depart the island, watching the battle unfold in grim silence as Z gives up his life to save them. During the credits, it is revealed that after Z's defeat, the Straw Hats returned to Dock Island one last time, to return the gear and weapons Mobston had given them. They bid them farewell, and Gari decided to become a pirate, wearing Luffy's borrowed attired.

===Caesar Retrieval Arc===
After the Straw Hats and Trafalgar Law leave Punk Hazard with Caesar Clown captured, they are wary of being attacked by Doflamingo. As the ship's residents sleep, a mysterious figure named Breed boards the ship with his animal forces and attacked everyone on board. Usopp alongside everyone else fought back, at least until Breed mysteriously called off his forces, having successfully kidnapped Caesar in the process. With Caesar being taken, and large ship approaching, Law, Luffy and Chopper decide to board the Shark Submerge III to go after Breed, while everyone else deals with the ship.
After Breed is defeated and Caesar is retrieved, Luffy, Chopper and Law return to the Sunny, saying their goodbyes to the Kung Fu Dugong and his freed animal friends. As dawn breaks, the Straw Hat Pirates receive the morning newspaper saying that Doflamingo has resigned from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
===Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura===
While sailing the ocean, Nami notices a storm coming in, and alerts the rest of the crew, allowing them to quickly take action and launch the Thousand Sunny away with a Coup De Burst. Almost immediately afterward, Nami collapses from a high fever, and as none of the crew know enough about medicine, they decide to find a doctor to save her, leading them to sail to Drum Island.
Upon arrival, the residents give them a cold reception, as they demand that the crew leave because they are pirates. Luffy begs them to save Nami, and they allow the crew to take her to the shore, with Luffy, Sanji, Robin and Usopp taking Nami ashore while Franky and Zoro stay behind, but they soon learn about the island's king, Wapol and how he took all of the doctors on the island away with him during a pirate invasion. They also learn that there is only one doctor left on the island, Dr.Kureha, and that she lives on a mountain.
As Luffy and the others climb up the mountain with Nami, Robin and Usopp stayed behind in the town, as Luffy and Sanji get attacked by some Lapahns, and they are unable to fight back, fearing that the shock of any blows given or received will kill Nami. An avalanche buries the mountain in snow, and Sanji kicks Luffy out of the way to save him and Nami, being buried in the process. The avalanche sweeps through the town and buries Robin and Usopp, and Robin digs the two of them out and slaps Usopp awake with her powers. Luffy continues climbing the mountain, barely able to keep himself alive in the extreme cold. Just before losing consciousness, he reaches the top of the mountain, where Chopper saves him and brings him, Sanji and Nami in for treatment, curing Nami of her disease.
As Luffy and the others are being treated at Drum Castle, they learn more about Chopper's past, and about Dr. Hiriluk, and thank Chopper and Kureha for saving them and Nami. Unfortunately, they soon come under attack from Wapol and his men, who have come to take back the island. While Chopper and Sanji fight off Wapol's men, Wapol attempts to shoot down Hiriluk's flag with his Baku Baku no Mi powers. As he does this, Luffy gets to the top of the castle and protects the flag, but soon ends up in a fight with Wapol's brother, Musshuru. Musshuru initially has the advantage in speed and easily defeats Luffy with his Noko Noko no Mi powers, poisoning him with his spores. Chopper tries to fight back, but he is defeated, too. Before Musshuru can give the final blow he stopped by the arrival of the rest of the Straw Hats, who stop him and manage to give Luffy an antidote to the poison.
As he finishes recovering, Luffy then uses Gear Second allowing him to keep up with Musshuru and ultimately dominates Musshuru in battle. Wapol escapes into the castle and eats Musshuru, fusing with him and the Bliking Cannon, in an attempt to gain his power and combine it with his own to make a poison bomb to annihilate everyone in Drum so he can replace them with his soldiers. As he tries to fire the bomb, Chopper uses Arm Point and manages to launch Wapol into the roof. Despite managing to fire the bomb, it is destroyed by the Straw Hats before it can explode, then Luffy manages to defeat him and send him flying with Gear Third's Gum Gum Gigant Pistol. Some of Musshuru's poisonous spores drift down, but Franky incinerates them before they can do any damage.
After the battle, Luffy asks Chopper to join his crew, and despite initially not trusting humans before, Chopper decides to go with Luffy. Chopper tells Kureha, who berates him, claiming that he is not ready to leave home, and chases him out of the castle. As he leaves with the Straw Hats off the mountain, Kureha then orders the Drum guards to fire off Hiriluk's Sakura mixture, which mixes with the snow, resulting in a pink snowfall and causing the mountain on which the castle stands to resemble a Sakura tree. As Chopper sees this, he realizes that Hiriluk's dream has been accomplished, and starts to cry. With the Cherry Blossoms in the distance, the Straw Hats sail away from Drum Island, with Chopper now a member, as they go toward their next adventure.
===Adventure of Nebulandia===
The Straw Hats were lured onto Kinoko Island by the Foxy Pirates, who posed as a marooned crew. Luffy then accepted their offer for a Davy Back Fight rematch. However, during the first contest it was revealed that the game was designed by Komei to trap Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji. Komei and Dojaku successfully captured Zoro and Sanji and set off.
The remaining Straw Hats allied with Foxy to go after Komei, and Kansho of the Foxy Pirates asked to come along, wanting to be with his idol Usopp. The pirates eventually reached the island of Nebulandia, where they fought against Marine ambushes and the island's environment, which weakened Devil Fruit users. Robin was captured, and as night fell, Franky and Usopp decided to sneak into the Marines' base. They entered an underground pipe room with water pooling at the bottom, and Franky then realized that the water was about to be electrified. He threw Usopp onto a pipe as he was electrocuted, but this left Usopp as a sitting duck, and Komei captured him and Franky.
Usopp and Franky were tied to a rock formation along with their other captured crewmates in order to lure Luffy there. However, Brook and Chopper eventually arrived with reinforcements from Kinoko Island, and Usopp and the other Straw Hats were all freed. Kansho then suddenly betrayed them and shot Luffy, but Luffy was saved by a luckily placed trinket. Kansho attempted to shoot Luffy again, but Usopp deflected his shot with one of his own as Foxy defeated Kansho. The Straw Hats then fought off the Marines on the island and returned to Kinoko Island, where they parted with the Foxy Pirates. The Straw Hats then celebrated their victory with a banquet.
==Whole Cake Island Saga==
===Silver Mine Arc===
As the Straw Hats and Barto Club slept during the night, Luffy and Bartolomeo were suddenly kidnapped by the Silver Pirate Alliance. The two crews got up to confront the alliance, and Usopp fired a Pop Green Sea Devil to attack them, but they surrounded and destroyed it. The Straw Hats and Barto Club were then immobilized by Peseta's Adhesive Shells as the Silver Pirate Alliance took Luffy and Bartolomeo away.
The next day, the Straw Hats and Barto Club arrived at Silver Mine, but they were besieged by the Silver Pirate Alliance. Usopp fired another Pop Green Sea Devil, which successfully dealt damage to the enemy pirates this time. After Luffy and Bartolomeo reached the ship, the Straw Hats and Barto Club then set sail for Zou.
===Heart of Gold===
While some of the Straw Hats were fishing in a snowy ocean, they saw Myskina Olga riding toward the Sunny on her steed Elizabeth. They pulled the two up to the deck, and Olga was weak from hunger. She attempted to use force to threaten them to feed her, but the Straw Hats readily fed and welcomed her. While talking to her, they found out that she was from the lost island of Alchemi, where the legendary treasure Pure Gold was located. After much convincing, Olga agreed to take them to Alchemi and the Pure Gold.
However, they came under attack by Mad Treasure and the Treasure Pirates, who were also after Olga ann the Pure Gold. The Straw Hats managed to easily fend off the enemy pirates, but during the battle, Olga's ring fell into the ocean. The ring contained a sliver of the Pure Gold, and a giant fish named Bonbori emerged to consume it. The Sunny was pulled into its mouth, and the Straw Hats attempted to escape, but Olga told them to go into it, so they did so. They were pursued by the Treasure Pirates, who continued their attack. The attack nearly caused the Sunny to hit Bonbori's uvula, and Luffy managed to block the collision, but was sent flying far away by Naomi Drunk. As Olga went to rescue Luffy, the Sunny fell into Bonbori's throat.
After the fall, Usopp, Nami, Chopper, Robin, and Brook were left helpless and were subsequently captured and enslaved by the Treasure Pirates. Mad Treasure began torturing his slaves, then ordered his men to bind the slaves, and hide them with the powers of Psycho P, then brought them to the beach where he could show them to Luffy. This allowed him to trap Luffy and take Olga, and they set sail for Alchemi. The captured Straw Hats were forced to row the Shark Emeralda to Alchemi, and they approached a temple entrance near the coast.
They managed to pass through the first trial, and came to the second one, where they needed to hit a target on the other side of a large chasm to activate a drawbridge. Usopp volunteered himself, and as Chopper protected him from a dinosaur, he shot at the target. However, an updraft caused his shot to miss, and a pterodactyl came out to attack the group. Usopp then managed to incorporate the updraft into his shot, and fired multiple shots in order to hit the target with an Exploding Star. The drawbridge was lowered, and the group reached the final gate, where there were a lot of keyholes. Nami put the key into the wrong keyhole, causing the giant stone crocodile mouth over her head to come down slowly. The other Straw Hats tried propping the mouth up, but were unable to stop its descent as Nami failed to find the right keyhole. However, right as they were about to be crushed, Luffy came running in and shattered the stone mouth with a punch. Olga's father Myskina Acier then arrived and opened a trapdoor underneath the Straw Hats and Olga, sending them falling into a room below. There, they found the Pure Gold.
However, Acier activated bombs in the temple, forcing the Straw Hats and Olga to escape. Luffy battled Mad Treasure and defeated him, causing Bonbori to get dry heaves. After the crew reunited and Franky brought the Sunny to Alchemi, they rode up Bonbori's throat as it vomited them back out into the ocean. They then watched as the Pure Gold was assimilated in Bonbori's lamp. The next day, they dropped Olga and Acier off on an island, and Nami revealed that she had acquired a Vivre Card leading to the entertainment city Gran Tesoro, which the Straw Hats decided to go to.
===One Piece Film: Gold Episode 0===
On the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats were having a barbecue. After a volleyball game between Nami and Chopper verses Robin and Franky, the Straw Hats discussed what they will do when they reach Gran Tesoro. Usopp then demonstrated a show for Gran Tesoro in case betting in the casino failed. Usopp decides to demonstrate his show by having a sumo match with Luffy. Luffy easily wins the match even though Usopp states he wasn't supposed to use his full strength. After Luffy and Franky have a long sumo match of their own, an angry Nami punches them both for waking her from her nap and almost destroying the ship with their attacks. Nami was declared the Yokozuna in the process, but she declined. Suddenly, the Straw Hats approached the City of Dreams.
===One Piece Film: Gold===
The Straw Hats entered Gran Tesoro, and were showered with gold in the entrance. They emerged into a pool of liquid gold that had a concert venue around it, but were immediately attacked by the Long Long Pirates, who intended to rob them and pay off their debts. Usopp rode on top of Chopper in Walk Point, and fired Pop Greens at various enemy pirates. However, Chopper jumped and accidentally made Usopp hit the mast, causing him to fall off. The Straw Hats defeated the Long Long Pirates, and watched as the proprietor of Gran Tesoro, Gild Tesoro, encased the remaining members in gold.
The Straw Hats landed and were approached by Baccarat, who offered to give them a VIP stay in Gran Tesoro due to their fame. She drove them through Gran Tesoro in a turtle car and took them to the VIP hotel at the heart of the ship, where the Straw Hats donned new outfits as they began their dream vacation. However, Usopp and the Straw Hats were approached by a group of kids selling flowers, and Usopp was appalled to find that they cost 5000, but Baccarat chased the kids away. They went to a casino, where Baccarat gave them 20,000,000 worth in tokens. Usopp, Luffy, and Chopper participated in a turtle car race, but as they began to draw near the lead, the lead driver Whitejack had Kiruko spray a liquid on the track in front of them, causing their car to skid and stop. However, they continued driving and approached the lead once again, but the driver in front of them, Kent Beef Jr., had Pork throw a bale of hay at them. Their vision obstructed, the Straw Hats careened off the track and onto a golf course, where they skidded around. However, Luffy managed to pull them back to the track, where they caught up with the remaining two drivers and just barely beat them across the finish line to claim victory.
The Straw Hats had a lot of luck with the games, earning lots of tokens, and Baccarat took them to the VIP lounge where they had the chance to become millionaires. The Straw Hats played a dice game there and won, and were approached by Gild Tesoro, who challenged them. They lost, but it was revealed that Baccarat had taken Luffy's luck away with her Devil Fruit power, so they refused to hand over their money. This caused Tesoro and his subordinates to retaliate with force, and Tanaka jumped in and out of the ground, shooting the Straw Hats with his gun and throwing them into chaos. Tesoro managed to capture Zoro and gave the Straw Hats until 12:00 the next night to repay their debt, or else he would kill Zoro.
The Straw Hats went outside, where they encountered an acquaintance of Nami's named Carina. They went to a diner with Carina, who revealed to them that a massive portion of Tesoro's wealth was contained in the Hyper Suite Room near the top of the hotel, which they could steal to repay their debt. The Straw Hats agreed to this plan, and afterwards, Carina revealed to everyone except Luffy her true plan, which was to direct seawater out of every fountain on Gran Tesoro and free everyone from Tesoro's control over them. The Straw Hats then slept in a hotel, and tried on disguises later in the day to prepare for their mission.
They congregated outside the hotel, and Carina outlined the details of the plan. While Team A, Luffy and Franky, would infiltrate the hotel and disable several Eizo Den Den Mushi that served as security cameras, the rest of them, Team B, would sneak inside and make their way to the door to the Hyper Suite Room. The teams then split, and Team B snuck into the hotel. Carina distracted a group of workers transporting a giant dice container, allowing the Straw Hats to hide inside it, and they were wheeled into a storage room where they met back up with Carina. After getting past a few security guards, Team B entered a hallway that led to the staircase to the Hyper Suite Room, but the hall was guarded by owls with spotlights beaming from their eyes. With Chopper's help, Team B managed to pass through the hall, and they communicated with Team A so the latter could disconnect the Eizo Den Den Mushi watching over the staircase. However, Luffy was discovered and the alarm was raised, causing Team B to be discovered by security guards and chased back down the hall they came from.
Team B took refuge in a hidden hallway, but were approached by the World Noble Saint Camael and his entourage. However, the team ambushed the World Nobles, stole their clothing, and emerged disguised as them. Tricking the security guards into thinking they were World Nobles, Team B intimidated them into allowing them back through the hallway, and they raced up the staircase to the Hyper Suite Room. However, they opened the door to find themselves in the middle of an entertainment venue, as part of a trap designed by Gild Tesoro and Carina. Tesoro trapped the Straw Hats in gold tendrils, and prepared to begin the entertainment spectacle by executing Zoro as the Straw Hats' bodies slowly became encased in gold. Suddenly, seawater sprayed from every fountain, as Carina had intended for Luffy and Franky to do. The Straw Hats were freed from their gold encasement and reunited with Luffy, Zoro, and Franky, but Tesoro suddenly blew up the hotel, sending a massive deluge of liquid gold on them. However, Sanji, Robin, and Franky carried their crewmates into the air to safety.
Tesoro reemerged inside a giant gold golem and confronted the Straw Hats, and as Luffy battled him, the other Straw Hats and Carina were confronted by Baccarat, Tanaka, and Dice, who were given golden armor and weapons by Tesoro. After taking out several former prisoners of Gran Tesoro, Baccarat confronted Usopp, Chopper, and Brook, planning to take them out with just her luck and a coin. She threw the coin at the trio, causing a chain reaction that resulted in a bomb falling on them and injuring them. Baccarat continued throwing her coin at them, causing more and more misfortune to fall on them until Usopp finally ran away. However, as Baccarat was about to finish off Chopper and Brook, Usopp returned and fired a large purple ball at her, though the ball missed. However, Usopp then fired a Midori Boshi: Dokuro Bakuhatsu So, which successfully hit Baccarat. As Baccarat went down, she expressed shock that she had bad luck, and the purple ball opened to reveal a slot machine filled with gold coins, which had allowed Usopp's luck to triumph over hers.
Luffy eventually managed to overpower Tesoro, and Tesoro turned his golem into liquid gold, swamping everyone on Gran Tesoro except Luffy with it and preventing them from moving. However, Luffy managed to defeat Tesoro, freeing everyone on Gran Tesoro from his control, and they rejoiced. Suddenly, a timer appeared, and Carina stated that the ship would sink once it reached zero. The Straw Hats returned to the Thousand Sunny, but found out that the timer was a ruse in order to allow Carina to take control of Gran Tesoro. However, they held no hard feelings, and were forced to sail away once the Marine fleet nearby started chasing them.

==Wano Country Saga==
===Cidre Guild Arc===
Out at sea, the Straw Hats were under attack by a group of bounty hunters known as the Cidre Guild and their guns that shot powerful blasts of carbonated water. They managed to escape by blasting off with Coup de Burst, but upon stopping at an island afterward they found that the Sunny's cola supply had run out. Luffy volunteered to go to the island to buy some cola, and found that it was dotted with pools of carbonated water. A ramune saleswoman named Caramel told Luffy that he could get cola from the factory, but warned him that it was controlled by the Cidre Guild. Luffy raced toward the factory, but was confronted by a Cidre Guild platoon led by Ginger. Ginger overwhelmed Luffy with a powerful carbonation blast, causing him to fall into a sinkhole and get swept away by an underground river. 
The river took Luffy to a pool where Boa Hancock was bathing, and the two reunited and started a battle against Cidre himself. Meanwhile, the other Straw Hats were fighting the rest of the Cidre Guild on the coast, but the fight soon ended as the Guild members revealed they had been enslaved by Cidre and so had no loyalty to him.
As the crew dealt with the enslaved, Luffy continued his battle with Cidre. After a brief clash, Luffy eventually overpowers Cidre and defeats him. He then sees an invitation to the Pirates Festival land on the ground and Luffy picks it up. 
The liberated Cidre Guild slaves gave the Straw Hats barrels of cola in repayment for their freedom. Luffy reveals to Hancock that he received an invitation to the Pirates Festival, and bids her a temporary farewell. As the Straw Hats sail back out to sea, Luffy reveals the invitation to his crew, and to their shock, Robin reads that this year's Expo will include a hunt for Gol D. Roger's treasure. Luffy is excited to go there, and the crew sets sail to Delta Island where the Expo will be taking place, along with the other crews of the Worst Generation.
===One Piece: Stampede===
The Straw Hats came to Delta Island for the Pirates Festival, where they took part in a massive hunt for a treasure belonging to Gol D. Roger. The Straw Hats glided up a Knock Up Stream to a floating island, and fought against other pirate competitors. Suddenly, Law arrived on the Sunny and revealed that something suspicious was going on behind the scenes. Sanji, Robin, Chopper, and Brook accompanied him on a mission to Delta Island, while the rest of the crew continued on the treasure hunt.
The pirate competitors reached the floating island and engaged in an all-out brawl as they searched for the treasure, which was eventually found, although no one could seize possession of it. Suddenly, a galleon came up the Knock Up Stream and destroyed the floating island, sending the pirates falling back down to Delta Island. While falling, Usopp found himself next to the treasure chest and grabbed it. After he landed, however, he was swiftly and brutally defeated by Douglas Bullet, who took the treasure back. Bullet attempted to kill Usopp, but threw him aside as he battled members of the Worst Generation. When Bullet emerged victorious, he attempted to kill Luffy, but Usopp stopped him by shooting Pop Greens at the metal exoskeleton he was inhabiting. One of the Pop Greens sprouted and ripped off one of the exoskeletons' fingers, but the others did nothing, and Bullet quickly brought down Usopp once again.
Later, a heavily injured Usopp regained consciousness and attempted to carry an unconscious Luffy to safety. The two found themselves in the path of a collapsing building, and Usopp did his best to protect Luffy from it, but could not stop all of it. However, Brook and Chopper then arrived, with the former stopping the falling building. Usopp told Chopper to treat Luffy first, and Chopper reluctantly obliged. After receiving treatment, Luffy went to go fight Bullet again, and Usopp, Chopper, and Brook watched as he and his allies tore apart the massive colossus Bullet inhabited. When Bullet attempted to confront Luffy in his exoskeleton, Usopp watched in triumph as the rest of his Pop Greens sprouted and destroyed the exoskeleton, leading Luffy to defeat Bullet once and for all.
The Straw Hats reunited and attempted to leave Delta Island on the Sunny, but were faced with a Marine Buster Call fleet. However, Sabo gave them a safe passage out by creating a wall of fire around them. Later, the Straw Hats discovered that Roger's treasure was an Eternal Pose to Laugh Tale and that Luffy had destroyed it. Most of them were shocked, but Usopp was not surprised.

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