==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. They realize this but decides not to find and tell Luffy as they do not want to get scolded by him, shortly before noticing that Zoro, who helped them by cutting through one of the icebergs, but got lost, is still missing. As the crew decide to reclaim their flag without Luffy finding out, the icebergs begin cutting their path, so Franky and Nami use the "Shark Submerge" to go under the icebergs, where they discover that the icebergs are in reality being moved around by flocks of penguins, who begin to chase after the sub. 
When the Shark Submerge get back on the surface, Nami and Franky are confronted by Hockera, who plays dumb about the stolen flag and begins messing with them by hitting them with his hockey pucks, which are able to freeze the things that they hit. This went on a bit until the two got fed up with Hockera's antics and Nami asked Franky to beat Hockera up. The two began to fight each other. In the fight, Hockera was able to freeze Franky's legs while avoiding his cannon fire. While avoiding the cannon fire, Hockera was able to use the scattered debris from Franky's attacks to avoid being targeted further, and was able to counter Franky with more of his hockey pucks, until the debris got in the way, which surprised Hockera and annoyed Franky. Now angered by Hockera's apparent foolishness, Franky decided to blow away the debris covering Hockera and free himself with Fresh Fire. 
As the battle continued on, Franky got a hold of Hockera's hockey stick and disarmed him. Without his stick, Hockera decided to fight Franky with his own two fists. Franky however countered Hockera's charge by propelling himself against Hockera with a Coup de Vent fired backwards. Hit by Franky, Hockera seemingly passed out. Things seemed over until Franky got back to the Shark Submerge. The hockey pucks that Hockera hit earlier that seemingly missed were actually aimed at the submarine in order to stop it from moving. With Franky inside the sub along with Nami, Hockera stopped pretending to be out and froze more of the sub with more of his hockey pucks. With Franky and Nami trapped within the Shark Submerge.
After being trapped, the two are taken to Lovely Land, the Accino Family's headquarters. In an underground ice chamber, Nami and Franky are trapped along with Usopp and Sanji, who were captured by other members of the Accino Family. Franky tries to get everyone and escape with a "Coup de Boo", but he is out of cola and is too weak to get them out. Later while still trapped, Zoro falls down into the chamber, unaware of what's going on. After bringing him up to speed, they crew try to think of a way out, when they are then sent food on the request of Robin. Amongst the food are 3 bottles of cola, which allow Franky's Coup de Vent to blow away the cap of their prison. This allows the group to escape before freezing. They go and search for the flag.
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).
As Luffy, Chopper, and Jiro arrive to Lovely Land, they are met by most of the Accino Family. While fending them off, the Phoenix Pirates arrive to convince Jiro to come back. As they become involved in the conflict, Puzzle is finally reminded of the promise he made to Vigaro, regaining his fighting spirit, and holding Hockera and then Campacino back. Wanting pay back, Franky and Nami chase after Hockera after he fails to apprehend Puzzle, and is then confronted by Franky, who defeated Hockera instantly with Fresh Fire. Hockera's defeated body was then seen alongside his defeated relatives by Don Accino, who decided to come out.
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 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 sleaves, Foxy incapacitates the straw hats and take girls, and takes the notebook. Just as Foxy is about to have them all fall down into the ocean, Franky and Brook show up, and Luffy asks them to beat Foxy up, to which they do, causing a panic on the island in the process. As Luffy and the others make back up, Foxy tries and fails to use his new trick against them as Franky and Brook intervene, 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 stops the bunch by showing them Sayo tied to a stake and a gigantic cannon aimed at her. To show he was serious, he fires a warning shot that barely misses Sayo. Doran then demands the notebook for Sayo's life. Lina tempted to do it was stopped by Sayo, telling her not to give up on their father or his goal, and managed to convince Lina to refuse giving up the notebook. The Straw Hats then proceed to stop Doran and rescue Sayo. Luffy, with Lina and Nukky holding onto him, jumps into the air, uses Gear 3, and preform his Gum Gum Giant Axe, splitting the island in half and sinking it, which annoyed the crew since they weren’t out of harms way yet. After doing this, Luffy shrinks and he, Lina, and Nukky land in the ocean. As they are being rescued by Sanji, Lina sees an x-shaped crack in the ocean floor below the island. After telling the crew this, they all realized that the clue was under the island the whole time. The heat from the lava soon makes steam form around the group and the reflection from the sun causes a circular rainbow effect. The sisters then realize that the steam is the final clue to make the gem.
A few days later, the Straw Hats' continue their journey when Nukky flies in and delivers a letter to the crew from his owners. Sayo and Lina succeeded in making the rainbow gem and are living happily with their father who returned, alive and well, just in time to see the creation of the gem. They even sent the gem to the Straw Hats as a thank you, and while the crew gather around to look at the gem, it starts to rain candy out of nowhere, and the candy knocks the gem out of Luffy's hand, causing Nami to panic and demand that everyone search for it on the deck.

===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. Franky 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.
Franky finds Robin and Brook and begin exploring the island they were flung to. They happen on the sunken ruins of a city submerged in a lake with trees taken root around the buildings. Upon entering they are attacked by the local wildlife. A horde of army ants pour out of an entrance and rush them. Franky prepares to fight but Robin reminds him that he is out of fuel. But then, a giant shark jumps out of the water to attack. The ants devour the shark before it is able to hit the water, and resume their attack. Brook steps in and cuts them all down.
Franky's group are later seen traveling across the desert on a motorcycle he had made out of a giant Crayfish that he named Zarrey Davidson. As they approach Shiki's private village, the vehicle lurches back in fear almost throwing them off. Franky hits it over the head in anger but finds it is trembling in fear. Unable to ride further, they walk the rest of the way.
Upon entering the village they find a large building where many hundreds of pirates are gathering, similarly protected by poison plants. 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. Franky's group arrives shortly after, rejoin the rest of the crew after them suffering a heavy loss at the hands of Shiki.
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 of those gathered, much to Shiki's dismay, then split up to defeat the rest.
Luffy chases after Shiki, with Franky and the others helping fight off his minions and hordes of animals who begin running wild in his fortress. During the battle, Franky is chased down the halls by Hammer Isoginchaku. Franky finishes it off with a blast from his cannon. When the island enters the raging storm, Franky along with the others return to the Sunny. After Shiki is defeated by Luffy, Franky along with the other Straw Hats escape using Thousand Sunny, using Shiki's pirate sail as a parachute. Franky is seen much later on the ship as Nami recovers.

===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.
As Franky repairs the ship and moves it back into the water, Luffy learns from the local wax sculptor Diego about 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 his son 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 that he made. 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===
===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. 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 Luffy starts fighting the monster in order for Sanji to turn it in their dinner. After Luffy defeats the monster, he accidentally knocks his away, forcing everyone to chase after it with the Sunny. As the chase begins, they eventually reach where the monster landed, with Luffy excited to eat it. As Zoro reminds Sanji not to forget the booze as well, Sanji comments on how that's all he thinks about, leading to the two of them arguing. Franky gets involved and tries to calm Zoro down, which only makes him annoyed at Franky, until Franky suggests that they should have a party. As Franky starts to talk about having a cherry blossom party, everyone is confused but interested.
Later, 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 an 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, the others watch 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 awakens later in Chopper's infirmary, with Zoro and Sanji standing guard outside. He thanks Chopper for his care, calling him a great medic and meets Luffy who remained in the room during Z's treatment. Z immediately tags him as the ship's captain. Luffy asks him what he plans to do next, as Z tells him he is carrying a Vivre Card and his comrades should find him soon. Luffy begins asking questions about Z, his arm, and what he is doing. Things seem to go fine at first. At least until Luffy reveals he is a pirate. Z instantly attacks and throws Luffy through the wall. He asks Luffy why he is a pirate to which Luffy proudly responds he will be the Pirate King. This comment infuriates Z, as he madly swings his Battle Smasher around. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji all begin fighting him with Z able to hold them all off with relative ease. Ain and Binz then arrive with a fleet of ships and board the Sunny, announcing they will be confiscating it. Franky attacks, with Binz summoning vines that are able to subdue him. Robin tries attacking, but he proves too quick for her to grab him with her arms.
Z overpowers the Monster Trio and throws them out into the deck of the ship. He grabs Luffy with his Battle Smasher, sapping away his powers and chastises Luffy's dream, telling him he will never be Pirate King with his strength. Curiosity piqued, he asks Luffy his name. When he tells him, Z connects him as Garp's grandson before throwing him onto the deck with the other Straw Hats. He announces to the Straw Hats he will destroy all pirates and orders the Neo Marines to attack the Sunny, bombarding her with cannons. While Luffy wishes to continues his battle with Z, the pleas of his crewmates force him to retreat. He frees Franky from his bonds who quickly heads for the steering and he uses a Coup de Burst to escape much to the surprise of the Neo Marines.
Luffy and the Straw Hats are recovering on a nearby island, where Franky goes to work on fixing the Sunny. He tells Luffy to go after Z while he repairs the damage done. Chopper regrets saving Z's life, but Sanji tells him a pirate should live without regrets of what he believes in. Nami tells him that they must track them down, or else she will never get her original body back. She would not be as helpful a Navigator to them without her full grown body. Nami proposes gathering intel on their enemy as the first place to start.
Mobston, an old man approaches them and asks if they had a run in with Z. He tells them many pirate ships that have come to the island have been attacked by him. He tells that many who had been attacked by him, lost their will to continue and left the New World. He is pleasantly surprised Luffy still wishes to fight him, after losing so badly to him and offers up his finest equipment to use in their quest. Nami tells the crew to not arouse suspicion, they need a new change of clothes first. They are told their best place to start is to take the Sea Train to Secon Island.
As they head to their next destination, they split up their search. Franky remains on the Sunny to finish the repairs, while the others learn more Z and his motives. As the other Straw Hats return to Dock Island, as Luffy is patched up from his second fight with Z and has the Seastone bullet fired at him removed. Kuzan appears before the crew, 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, 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.

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. While the others learn about the the island's king, Wapol and how he took all of the doctors on the island away with him during a pirate invasion, with only one doctor, Dr. Kureha being left on the island, living on top of the mountain. Meanwhile, back at the ship, Franky notices a strange ship, the Bliking, and he and Zoro investigate with the Shark Submerge. Soon after they reach the ship, Wapol's men attack them, and Zoro and Franky defeat them. 
As Luffy and the others reaches the top of the mountain thanks to Chopper, and Sanji and Nami also get brought in for treatment, Zoro and Franky find a snowmobile and use it to head toward the mountain.
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.

The next day, the Going Luffy-senpai arrived at Silver Mine, where Luffy and Bartolomeo were being held. The ship was besieged by the Silver Pirate Alliance again, and this time Franky successfully took many of them out with Weapons Left. After Luffy and Bartolomeo reached the ship, the Straw Hats and Barto Club then set sail for Zou.
===Heart of Gold===
===One Piece Film: Gold Episode 0===
On the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats were having a barbecue. Franky was playing a volleyball game with Robin versus Nami and Chopper. However, the two lost because Robin used her Devil Fruit ability. After the game, the Straw Hats discussed what they will do once they reach Gran Tesoro. Usopp then demonstrated a show for Gran Tesoro in case betting in the casino failed. After watching Luffy and Usopp play around doing sumo wrestling, Franky decided to take Usopp's place for him to use his strength against Luffy. After a long match, Franky and Luffy decided to use their signature attacks, but Nami interrupted and punched the two because they could have destroyed the ship. Moments later, the Straw Hats approached the City of Dreams.
===One Piece Film: Gold===
The Straw Hats sailed into Gran Tesoro, where they were showered with gold dust at the entrance. They emerged into a harbor filled with liquid gold that was also a concert venue. However, they were suddenly attacked by the Long Long Pirates, who sought to rob them in order to pay off their debt. Nypers and several of his crewmates fired their rifles at Franky, but the cyborg fired a Radical Beam at them, causing them to be blasted away. Nypers' outfit tore apart, revealing the two men playing as him within as they fell into the liquid gold below them. The Straw Hats then watched as the proprietor of Gran Tesoro, Gild Tesoro, encased the remaining pirates in gold.
The Straw Hats docked, and were approached by Baccarat, who offered them a VIP vacation at Gran Tesoro due to their fame. Baccarat drove them through Gran Tesoro on a turtle car, and took them to the VIP hotel at the heart of Gran Tesoro. The Straw Hats donned new outfits and were ready to enjoy their vacation, although they were approached by a group of children selling flowers in order to repay their debts. Baccarat then took the Straw Hats to the casino, and gave them 20,000,000 worth in casino chips. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper immediately entered a turtle car race, and they managed to keep steady during the first part. However, as they drew near to the lead, the Whitejack's assistant, Kiruko, sprayed a liquid onto the track, causing them to skid and stop. The Straw Hats resumed driving, and approached Kent Beef Jr.'s car, but Pork threw a bale of hay at them, causing them to lose their vision and drive off the track onto a golf course. As they skidded around, Luffy managed to pull the car back onto the track with Gomu Gomu no Rocket, close to the remaining competitors. They then managed to narrowly beat the other racers across the finish line and win.
The Straw Hats continued getting lucky in casino games, and Baccarat took them to the VIP lounge, where they had the chance to become millionaires. The Straw Hats played a dice game hosted by Dice and won, and Gild Tesoro suddenly appeared and challenged the Straw Hats to a game. Luffy accepted, and Baccarat touched him on the shoulder, which unbeknownst to him took away his luck. Luffy lost the game, and Tesoro asked for the Straw Hats' money. However, Baccarat's deception was revealed, and the Straw Hats refused, causing Tesoro and his men to retaliate with force. With his luck removed, a series of unfortunate events plagued Luffy, preventing him from fighting. 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 left the hotel, and ran into an old acquaintance of Nami's named Carina. They and Carina went to a diner to eat, and Carina revealed to them that a large amount of money was kept in a room in the hotel, which the Straw Hats could steal to repay their debt. The Straw Hats agreed to this plan, and witnessed some of Tesoro's men harass two children, whom no one was able to stop. They then slept in a hotel room and donned disguises before their mission began.
The group congregated outside the hotel, where Carina revealed the plan. Luffy and Franky would sneak into the hotel and go to the room containing a Host Den Den Mushi. They would then disconnect the Host from several Eizo Den Den Mushi overseeing the staircase to the room containing the treasure, which would allow Carina and the other Straw Hats to enter the room undetected. Luffy and Franky then scaled the hotel exterior by climbing on plungers that Franky had shot out of his shoulder. However, while they were very high up, the plunger they were grabbing on lost its grip, causing them to fall. Franky managed to grab Luffy and propel the two of them up with Coup de Boo, and they reached the giant clock near the top of the hotel. They entered the inside of the clock, and went into the air vents. Eventually, they were right above the Host Den Den Mushi room, and Luffy stretched down to grab a pipe that connected the Host to the Eizo Den Den Mushi. However, he lost his grip on the vent above and fell, causing him to be noticed by security. As Luffy and Franky battled the security guards, Tesoro and Tanaka arrived. After Tesoro brought Franky down, Luffy engaged him in battle, but Tesoro encased Luffy's arms in gold and blocked all of his attacks with gold. However, Luffy refused to bend to Tesoro's will, and an angry Tesoro gave him the chance to continue entertaining him. Tanaka then opened a giant hole underneath Luffy and Franky, sending them falling a long distance.
Luffy and Franky fell into a massive golden chamber, where they met prisoners that had no food or drink. They then met the former Revolutionary, Raise Max, who revealed that the only way out of the chamber was through a pipe system, which led to a room containing a seawater tank that Luffy could use to wash away the gold encasing his arms. However, Max warned them that the room was nearly impossible to reach, but Luffy decided to go there since he had nothing to lose, and Max and the other prisoners reluctantly tagged along. They traveled through the pipes and battled bats, until they reached a vertical pipe with a rapidly spinning fan down below. Max tried convincing Luffy to go back, but Luffy kept pressing on and jumped into the fan. The fan batted Luffy around and injured him, forcing him to be rescued. However, after seeing Luffy's resolve, Max took it upon himself to stop the fan, and together with the other prisoners, they managed to stop the fan. Luffy, Franky, and the prisoners then reached the room with the seawater tank, and they opened a hole in it, allowing Luffy to wash the gold off his arms. However, Tesoro intended for them to reach the room as a trap, and he filled the room with seawater to drown them.
However, Tesoro's plot was all a part of a larger plan by Carina, who directed the seawater out of Gran Tesoro's fountains, freeing everyone on Gran Tesoro from Tesoro's control. Luffy, Franky, and the prisoners emerged from the fountains, and Luffy and Franky reunited with the rest of their crew. Tesoro then blew up the hotel and sent a deluge of liquid gold crashing down on them, but Sanji, Robin, and Franky flew their crewmates to safety. Tesoro then confronted the Straw Hats inside a giant gold golem, and Luffy attacked him, but Tesoro managed to overpower Luffy with his massive strength. Luffy was sent flying into the ground, where he was approached by Spandam. Spandam wrapped Luffy in Seastone chains, but as he prepared to deal the finishing blow, a young boy named Rikka ran in and intercepted the strike. Luffy then freed himself from the chains and punched Spandam into the ground, defeating him.
As Tesoro attacked the Straw Hats, Luffy confronted him again, though his blows dealt no damage, and Tesoro continued to overpower him. Luffy then leaped on Tesoro's arm and ran towards his head, though was suddenly in the midst of a barrage of Marine cannon fire as they shot at Tesoro. Tesoro turned his attention to the Marine fleet, allowing Luffy to take him by surprise and hit him in the face with Gomu Gomu no Red Hawk. However, Tesoro was unharmed and returned the favor by hitting Luffy with Gon Inferno. Luffy was sent flying a great distance back, and received a large amount of injuries. Tesoro then attacked Nami and Carina, and Luffy resumed challenging Tesoro as he ran back to the battle, managing to rescue Nami and Carina and throw them to safety. Tesoro punched him into the ground immediately afterwards, but Luffy activated Gear 4 and shattered Tesoro's arm. Luffy then flew up to Tesoro's face and hit him with Gomu Gomu no Kong Gun, finally knocking Tesoro to the ground.
However, Tesoro turned his golem into liquid gold and brought it down on Gran Tesoro, swamping and trapping everybody except Luffy, who was in the air. Tesoro stood on a mountain of gold tendrils and declared himself a god, and an angry Luffy flew up to him. Tesoro attacked him with Gon L'ira di Dio, but after a great struggle Luffy managed to shatter it with Gomu Gomu no Leo Rex Bazooka and finally reach Tesoro, dealing a finishing blow that sent him flying into the Marine fleet. Everyone on Gran Tesoro rejoiced at Tesoro's defeat, but a timer suddenly appeared, and Carina stated that the ship would sink once it reached zero. The Straw Hats returned to the Thousand Sunny, and quickly discovered that the timer was a ruse in order for Carina take over Gran Tesoro, but held no hard feelings as the Marine fleet chased after them and they were forced to sail away.

===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.
