===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 sisters explain that the notebook contains 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. 
Some time later, During a particularly calm night, Brook is on watch, manning the steering wheel while reflecting on the peace. He remembers his old companion Laboon, and contemplates his new companions, the Straw Hat Pirates. He recalls discovering a journal recounting the adventures and battles the crew have gone through. He vows that as long as he's their friend, he will act appropriately. The next morning, Brook wakes everyone up by singing Black Handkerchief of Happiness, much to everyone's annoyance. 
At breakfast, Brook's laughter grabs everyone's attention and Chopper notices that Brook has read their journal. Brook announces that since he has become their comrade, he does not feel like he has been of any help, but intends to work himself "to the bone" to become acceptable. First, he goes to help Sanji in the kitchen, but drops the plates. Sanji catches them but has his hands full. Brook offers to bring Nami a cup of tea, although Sanji wanted to do it himself. As he brings it to Nami, he accidentally spills the tea over the map she was drawing. Disheartened, he goes to see Franky and Usopp who are building a weapon which runs on cola. He offers to help by filling the weapon with cola, but fills it with soy sauce instead, causing the weapon to explode, showering fluid everywhere, which also ruins Chopper's medicinal plants.
Brook goes up to the crow's nest in order to train with Zoro. Zoro welcomes him, and begins his meditation. Brook tries to join, but continually annoys Zoro until he loses his temper. Upset, Brook wonders if all he has done is to be an inconvenience to everyone. Robin notices he seems perturbed, and asks what is wrong. After hearing his troubles, she explains that she also felt out of place, but now the crew is her family. They risked their lives to save her at Enies Lobby, and she is prepared to do the same for them. As Brook reflects on her words, Luffy rushes up and tells them that it's time for food. 
Later on, Brook sits out on deck, enjoying a cup of tea and then napping. Brook begins to think about how long it has been since he has had an afternoon nap so comfortably. In the Florian Triangle, falling asleep would lead to him dreaming about being with his old crew and Laboon, only to wake up to a lonely and painful reality. But now, he's surrounded by his friends. As the sun begins to set, Brook plays Binks' Sake on his violin.
==Summit War Saga==
===Little East Blue Arc===
===One Piece Film: Strong World===
When the Straw Hats were on board the Thousand Sunny, they read news of attacks on East Blue. Luffy said they will return to East Blue to protect it when Shiki's ship appeared overhead. After he warned him of the storm ahead, he came down to meet them. There he revealed that he has a Devil Fruit power to make any inanimate object he touches ignore gravity and float. After Shiki learned that it was Nami that delivered the warning, and that they are headed to East Blue, Shiki offered to take them there and used his power on Sunny. Together the two ships traveled to the floating island seen before where Shiki suddenly kidnapped Nami. Brook along with the others tried to rescue her, but by controlling the Thousand Sunny by using his power, he escaped them and scattered them among the fragments of the island.
Brook found Franky and Robin and beginning exploring the island they were flung to. They happened to be on the sunken ruins of a city submerged in a lake with trees taken root around the buildings. When entered, they are attacked by the local wildlife. A horde of Guntai Ari ants poured out of an entrance and rushed them. Brook screamed in terror, but the ants ignored him and continued running towards Franky and Robin. But then, a giant shark jumped out of the water to attack. The ants devoured the shark before it was able to hit the water and resume their attack. Brook wondered why the ants ignored him to which Franky replied because he has no meat on his bones. Brook took this as a serious offense to his honor and stepped in and cut them all down.
Brook's group were later seen traveling across the desert on a motorcycle Franky made out of a giant Crayfish that he named Zarrey Davidson. As they approached Shiki's private village, the vehicle lurched back in fear almost throwing them off. Unable to ride further they walked the rest of the way.
Upon entering the village, they found a large building where many hundreds of pirates were gathered, similarly protected by poison plants. They learned there that Shiki was planning to let loose the animals on the island into East Blue in a gambit to force the surrender of the World Government. They also learned that to prove the power of the animals he was planning a demonstration using a village on the floating island. Brook asked one of the waiters if he can see her panties and gets kicked in the head.
Brook's group arrived shortly after, rejoining the rest of the crew after them suffering a heavy loss at the hands of Shiki. Xiao reappeared and gave them the Dial Nami left them. Her mother, who earlier had expressed relief about the animals being sent to East Blue, apologized for saying how happy she was for Shiki leaving for East Blue. They then played 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 trapped her near the plants and headed off to meet the pirate captains gathering. The Straw Hats arrived at his palace and burst down the gates and made short work of the guards outside. While preparing a toast to the commencement of the operation, the Straw Hats marched into the main meeting room 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 of those gathered, much to Shiki's dismay, then split up to defeat the rest. Luffy chases after Shiki, with Brook and the others helping fight off his minions and hordes of animals who begin running wild in his fortress.
Brook is later seen fighting a giant Batch Fly that he cuts down with one strike. He met up with Sanji and helped dispatch more of the animals in their way. Sanji then found Robin had been attacked and held captive by Shiki's man ape, Scarlet. Upon Sanji defeating it, Robin fell but Brook swooped in and caught her. Robin told Brook thank you, much to Sanji's irritation for doing all the work. After Shiki is defeated by Luffy, Brook along with the other Straw Hats escaped using the Thousand Sunny and Shiki's pirate sail as a parachute. Brook is seen much later on the ship as Nami recovered.

===Episode of Luffy===
During some spare time on the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats have a mock introductory show with Usopp hosting. Once Luffy's turn was done, they are interrupted by an attack from several Marine battleships. During the battle, the Straw Hats are forced to make an emergency Coup de Burst in order to escape a sudden attack from above, in the form of an immensely large cannonball. Crash landing on a nearby island, they decide to explore while Franky repairs and moves the ship. While Franky works on a way to move the ship back into the water, the rest of the Straw Hats explore the local town to re-supply what was broken or lost in the landing. However they all notice that the town is in short supply of everything and that only women, children or the elderly run the shops. Eventually Brook, Robin and Nami discover the site of a past cannon attack located directly opposite the Marine base.
Later, Luffy comes across what appears to be a fruit stall on the outskirts of the town. Trying to eat several pieces, he quickly discovers that they are actually fake fruits made of wax. From behind, an old man approaches and quickly bursts into laughter over Luffy's mistake, then introduces himself as Diego, the man who had sculpted the fruits. Going inside, Diego is suddenly left dumbstruck as the entirety of his home had been blown away except the front wall and, upon looking over the hill discovers that it was the Thousand Sunny which had caused the damage in its crash landing. Apologizing for the destruction they had caused, Luffy is then led underground where he discovers the pride of Diego's collection, a multitude of life-like wax sculptures of famous pirates.
Luffy recognizes many of the sculptures in the collection room, but after seeing Shanks' sculpture, he is reminded of his childhood and the days when Shanks and his crew had visited Foosha Village, which culminated with his consumption of the Gomu Gomu no Mi and a near lethal encounter with the mountain bandit Higuma where Shanks had sacrificed his arm to save Luffy, earning the boy's eternal respect and admiration. Later, Usopp and Chopper discover the underground section and marvel at the wax figures, leading Diego to show them how his particular wax was created. Noting a poorly crafted figure of Whitebeard on a nearby shelf, Diego mentions that the wax itself is of a much higher quality then the one he can create and demonstrates this by easily destroying his own wax by knocking the sculpture against it though notes that it is weak against fire. Asking who had created it, Diego admits that the man was no longer around and had left him to join the Marines, which was his son, Regis.
Diego then explains the island's situation. Hand Island is an island of artisans that was once under the protection of Whitebeard. However, after he died in the Summit War of Marineford, rival pirates quickly set their sights on his territory. Marines quickly stepped in and built a base nearby which restored peace. Eventually, during mid-construction, Commodore Bilić was put in command. He called for a meeting of the townspeople and asked that they help build a cannon to help ward off pirate attacks which the people happily agreed to. Among them was Regis, who had joined the Marines to help the island, much to the dismay of Diego, who had hoped he would follow in his footsteps. However, once the cannon was completed, Bilic fired on the town as "practice", destroying several buildings and killing a few innocents as well. It soon became obvious that he just wanted the cannon for his own ends and used the families of the builders as his own hostages lest he fire the cannon on the rest of the town.
After telling this tale, Diego starts to head off to the Marine base to give Regis the Whitebeard figurine. But Luffy offers to go instead. Luffy later regroups with the entire crew and tells them his intention. After hearing this the others draw lots to see who'll go with him with Sanji and Usopp chosen. The next day the three head for the Marine base on the Mini Merry. Once they reach the base, the marines open fire once they notice Luffy forcing Sanji and him to invade the base which quickly leads into a chase. Eventually, the two find Regis and give him the figurine but Luffy is captured in a seastone cage once he steps on the platform where Regis's cell is. The wheel turns towards the water submerging the two. Sanji manages to jump in and free the pair and they escape into ocean via a sewer fan where they regroup with Usopp. The four rest on a reef where Regis explains he made the doll when he was six. When he went to join the Marines, Diego tried to at least have him take the figurine with him but he declined. Regis feels that he disappointed his father for not following the path he wanted. But after seeing the figure and being told that Diego always treasured it, he realizes that his father still believes in him. Likewise Diego, after being told why Regis was thrown in jail, is happy of his conviction to protect the island.
After hearing this, the four then notice that Bilic has started firing on the town, thinking the villagers are hiding the Straw Hats and demands they turn them over or he will destroy the town. Luffy's group head back to the base and make their way inside with Usopp and Sanji distracting the Marines while Luffy and Regis sneak in. Bilic, thinking the townspeople sent the Straw Hats after him, fires another cannon at the town but it's sliced in half by Zoro. As Zoro continues to defend the town from Bilic's cannon, Luffy and Regis make their way into the base and gather as much wax as they can. The Straw Hats fight against the Marines while Regis makes his way up to the cannon's barrel and activates the wax, causing it to backfire and destroy itself.
Bilic emerges from the rubble of the cannon, obviously angered. He burns Regis's Whitebeard figure to mock Luffy as well as him then reveals he has a mobile cannon as a back up. Luffy faces off against him, but suffers trouble due to the cannon's speed, the constant bombardment Bilic fires into his rubber body and the spinning tops fitted with blades sent after him. His crew (along with some help from Koby) help take out the tops and Luffy finally manages to beat Bilic by getting in close enough to grab his snake puppet and pummel him with an Elephant Gatling, destroying his cannon in the process.
Kizaru suddenly shows up much to the shock of everyone. The Marines believe he was the one who stopped Bilic and cheer for him as the Straw Hats make a hasty exit. However it turns out the Kizaru is really another wax sculpture created by Diego who made it on the request of Koby. Using the charade (as well as Diego throwing his voice to imitate the Admiral), Koby places Bilic under arrest and states he is likely to be court martialed while declaring that it was never the Marines' intention to enslave the island. He orders the Marines to help rebuild the island while Diego and Regis reconcile. Koby watches the Straw Hats go, promising he'll catch up to Luffy soon to which Luffy, seemingly hearing this, laughs in agreement. However as the crew flees, they realize they accidentally left Zoro on Hand Island.
===Z's Ambition Arc===
===Episode of Merry===
During a lull in their travel, the Straw Hats are milling around the Thousand Sunny. When Usopp, Chopper and Brook were riding the surrounding seas on the Mini Merry II, Brook asked about the little ship's design. Remembering that Brook was recruited after the Going Merry's demise, Usopp recounted to him about how the Merry was their first ship and all the adventures they had together from Syrup Village all the way to Enies Lobby. Touched by the Going Merry's life story, Brook cried that he would have wanted to meet the ship.
===Glorious Island===
As the crew leisurely mess around on the Thousand Sunny, Luffy, Nami and Brook are seen relaxing in the inflatable pool outside the Sunny, and Nami enjoying her swim reminds Brook that he can't swim and that he should be careful, with Brook stating that he being in the pool is a nice feeling for his bones. As Brook is admiring Nami's swimsuit, an angry Sanji shows up and asks Brook what he thinks he's looking at, before he begins staring at her as well, with Usopp disappointed in both them behaving like this.
As Luffy enjoys the pool, he soon notices the presence of a Sea Monster with the appearance of a horse towering the Sunny. As everyone notices the monster, they start to panic, as Nami panics and holds onto Brook, who starts drowning even though he's happy that Nami is holding him. 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. 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, Brook starts tuning his guitar as 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. After getting everyone excited about the idea, Luffy starts imagining a whole island filled with meat, with Zoro imagining a waterfall made of booze to go with it. Franky adds the idea of gigantic hamburgers with fries and cola, and Chopper wants clouds of cotton candy and cow milk bath. Brook gets so excited about this glorious dream island that he boldly asks Nami if he could see her panties, making her mad enough to kick him and tell him to come back to reality. As Brook lays on the ground, Sanji shows up telling everyone that the real meat is ready. As the cherry blossoms start to rain down and the party starts, Zoro asks Brook to bring the mugs, Brook starts singing as they watch Franky make 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. Sanji comments Devil Fruit users are a pain, seeing Luffy and Brook become quite weak. Sanji tells Luffy to keep a low profile since the island is crawling with Marine soldiers.
As Luffy and the others relax in the hot springs, Luffy vows to not let his guard down around Z again. Sanji tells him as long as he is a Devil Fruit user and lets himself get caught by his arm he will lose, offering to let him and Zoro to fight him instead. Luffy turns him down, knowing to avoid his arm for their next fight. However, a familiar voice calls out to them, claiming he was getting tired waiting for them. The group finds it belongs to Kuzan who is resting in a nearby bath. The group instantly go on guard. Save for Brook who does not recognize him, but panics when they fill him in that he is an Admiral.
Kuzan reassures them he is not there to capture them, and had given up being an Admiral. Brook asks what he is then, with Kuzan finding being questioned bothersome. He thinks on the question, and is unable to think of a proper answer confusing them further. However, he tells them again he is not their enemy anymore and reminds them if he was he would not be in a hot spring where he cannot use his powers. As Kuzan gets out of the water, the Straw Hats see his battle scarred body, and his missing leg that he regrows with his ice powers. Noticing their shocked expressions, he merely notes he "got into a bit of mischief".
Kuzan and the Straw Hats talk some more, with Luffy asking him what happened to his leg. Kuzan takes offense and tells him there are some things that should not be asked. Luffy tries to change the subject and asks about Akainu on why the two of them fought, believing they were friends. Kuzan refuses to comment on that. He does go on say that he wishes his only reason for coming was to enjoy the hot springs, but is chasing Z. He guessed that they had gone against him, remarking how strong he is.
Kuzan and Luffy's group soon leave the spa as he talks about the great age of pirates. He ponders to himself if pirates are made from the One Piece existing, or if the One Piece exists because of the pirates. Telling them how when some follow their dreams, it can lead to pain and sadness of others. He tells them that Z plans to destroy piracy by destroying the One Piece. He has chosen to follow Z's journey, but is unsure what actions he himself must take. He then departs, telling Luffy he will find Z on the island.
Luffy thinks back to his encounter of Z pondering over him, until the rest of the Straw Hats catch up with them with a group of Marines chasing them. Luffy dispatches them all with his 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 have never have let themselves be hit with it and he relies too much on is Devil Fruit power. He takes Luffy's hat, promising to bury it himself once he has finished destroying the age of pirates.
Luffy tries to grab it from him, telling Z the hat was given to him by Shanks. He grabs Luffy in his powerful grips and tells him Shanks, along with the rest of the Four Emperors will all die before they know what is happening. Luffy is enraged, screaming at him to not mock Shanks as Z blasts Luffy away. Zoro and the others find Luffy, and help carry him to safety as the deadly ash cloud rolls down the mountain. Usopp uses one of his Pop Greens to make a banana shaped boat they ride against the wind with. They are unable to escape and just as their deaths seemed imminent, Kuzan encases the magma and ash in a gigantic layer of ice giving them time to escape. Luffy and the Straw Hats board the sea train and flee, just before the island blows.
The Straw Hats return to Dock Island, as Luffy is patched up and has the Seastone bullet removed. Kuzan appears before the crew again, telling Luffy to stop moping. Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Robin are shown terrified, but Luffy assures them it is alright. Kuzan explains Z's plan to the crew of destroying the three Endpoints with the Dyna Stones to release the Grande Imbuto, a fissure line underneath the Grand Line. If Z destroys the last one, this will allow the magma flow to be release and flood the sea with fire. Though doing so will not only kill pirates, but innocents as well.
Now that two of the Endpoints have been destroyed, Z is about to go to the last one, Piriodo, and unless the Straw Hats stop him, the Pirate Era will end. The Endpoints had been considered a legend, with most thinking it was nonsense. The government covered up the truth about them, to dissuade pirates from using it. That only the World Government and highest ranking officers of the Marines know about it. He laments that it is an Admiral abusing this knowledge above all else. He reminds them that he is not doing this out of power, but to punish pirates.
Luffy 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, Brook unleashes Soul Solid, freezing a large number of soldiers in place. 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.

===Heart of Gold===
While sailing through a wintry sea, the Straw Hats encountered a little girl named Myskina Olga. Olga initially antagonized the Straw Hats, but they satiated her with food, and she revealed to them that she was from the lost island Alchemi, which contained the great treasure known as the Pure Gold. The Straw Hats grew excited and prepared to go on a treasure hunt, eventually convincing Olga to lead them to Alchemi. They were suddenly attacked by Mad Treasure and his crew, who were also after the Pure Gold, and they began to battle. During the battle, however, Olga's ring fell into the ocean, which caused a giant fish named Bonbori to emerge and consume it. Olga revealed to the Straw Hats that the Pure Gold was inside Bonbori, and they sailed into its mouth. Treasure's crew followed them inside, ramming their ship into the Sunny and nearly causing it to hit Bonbori's uvula. Luffy managed to prevent the collision, but was blown away by Naomi Drunk, and Olga went to rescue him. The other Straw Hats fell down Bonbori's throat, and Brook, Nami, Robin, Chopper, and Usopp were left helpless afterwards, allowing Treasure to capture them.
Treasure brought his prisoners to an island in Bonbori's first stomach in order to confront Luffy and Olga. Using the prisoners, Treasure managed to trap Luffy and capture Olga, and his crew returned to his ship. The Straw Hat prisoners were forced to help row the ship to Alchemi, though they had hope that Luffy would rescue them. They eventually reached Alchemi, and entered an abandoned mine containing the Pure Gold.
In order to pass through the first room, someone had to play a song on an organ, and Brook volunteered himself. However, some of the notes were faded or removed, causing Brook to mess up the song and activate a flying arrow trap. Olga then assisted Brook by singing the song, allowing him to play it correctly and open the path to the next area. After getting past the second area, the group came to the Final Gate, where they had to open a door with many keyholes. The door was underneath a crocodile's mouth contraption, which started closing when the Straw Hats stepped into it. Brook, Usopp, and Chopper held it open as Nami fruitlessly tried every keyhole, with the contraption getting heavier each time she failed. Eventually, Luffy reached the room they were in and destroyed the crocodile's mouth as his companion Myskina Acier opened a trapdoor underneath the Straw Hats and Olga.
In the room below, the Straw Hats and Olga found the Pure Gold, but were forced out of the mine after Acier attempted to blow it up. Treasure and Acier followed them out of the mine, and Luffy battled Treasure. When Luffy defeated Treasure, Bonbori started getting dry heaves, and the Straw Hats rode outside as it vomited. They then watched as the Pure Gold was fully absorbed into Bonbori's lamp. The next day, the Straw Hats parted ways with Olga and Acier, but they were disappointed in their failure to get the Pure Gold. However, Nami revealed that she had acquired a Vivre Card leading to the entertainment city, Gran Tesoro, which the Straw Hats excitedly set sail for.
===One Piece Film: Gold Episode 0===
On the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats were having a barbecue. Brook was the referee of the volleyball game between Nami and Chopper versus Robin and Franky. The conclusion of the game resulted in Nami and Chopper winning because Robin used her Devil Fruit ability. Afterwards, the Straw Hats discussed what they will do once they arrive on Gran Tesoro. Usopp was concerned on what would happened if gambling in the casino failed so he decided that'll host a show. Usopp's show was centered around sumo wrestling and Luffy was the Yokozuna and Brook sat back to spectate. After Luffy and Usopp were ready to call it quits, Franky decided to challenge Luffy to take his title. After a long match, they decided to use their signature attacks, but Nami interrupted their match and punched them because they could have destroyed the ship. Brook then attempted to crown Nami with the Yokozuna garment, but Nami knocked him into the sky and denied it. Moments later, the Straw Hats approached Gran Tesoro.
===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. Morkin fired their ship's main cannon at the Thousand Sunny, and later boarded the Sunny. He and some other crewmates went up on the mast where Brook was, and Morkin attacked Brook, but Brook attacked Morkin and his crewmates and moved behind them in a split second, defeating them once he sheathed his sword. 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. Nami and the crew were approached by a group of kids selling flowers for 5000, but Baccarat chased the kids away. They went to a casino, where Baccarat gave them 20,000,000 worth in tokens. Nami was appalled when Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper immediately went to participate in a Turtle Car race, but cheered as the trio ended up winning the race.
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 Nami tried to attack him, but was surprised when Carina came up to her and held a knife to her neck. Tesoro 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.
===Zou Arc===
===Marine Rookie Arc===
The team began to starve after running out of rations but came upon Fron Island. Pekoms warned them that a Marine base was located there, but Brook, Luffy, Nami, Chopper, and Carrot went there anyways on the Shark Submerge III. When they arrived on the island, Brook detached his soul in order to scare a group of Marines into unconsciousness, allowing the others to put on the Marines' uniforms. Brook then returned to the Submerge in order to guard it while everyone else looked for food. However, Luffy's identity was eventually discovered, and the island was put in a state of emergency. Soon afterwards, a Marine patrol discovered Brook on the Submerge and confronted him.
Brook detached his soul from his body and entered the Marine base, where he reunited with Luffy and Carrot. He took the two to Nami and Chopper, but ended up leading them to a corner, forgetting that they could not pass through the wall like he could. However, Luffy managed to punch a hole in the wall, allowing them to escape.
Brook returned to the Submerge, where he prepared to pick up his crewmates and escape. However, Vice Admiral Prodi noticed him and shot his bazooka at the Submerge, engulfing Brook in a large explosion. However, Brook and the Submerge managed to emerge unharmed, and when the Marines on the coast were all defeated, he prepared to take his crewmates back to the Sunny. Once Luffy defeated his final obstacle, Grount, Brook took everyone to the Sunny, where they ate all their rations within 10 minutes.

===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.
