While Franky's brawl spills into the ocean, Usopp and Sanji attempt to overcome their handcuffs by outsmarting their opponents!

The madcap throwback continues as Luffy and the gang - along with a crowd of characters from the Alabasta arc - competes for a priceless treasure hidden inside a tasty snack!

Nami, Sanji, Usopp, Zoro, and company find themselves trapped in to tunnel filled with rapidly rising water. Meanwhile, Luffy musters the strength for one last stand in his battle with Lucci.

Luffy lies battered and badly beaten, but Usopp's desperate pleas inspire the rubber-man to mount one final, furious attack on Rob Lucci!

The Straw Hats are rescued by the unexpected arrival of a dear old friend, but they'll have to avoid a barrage of deadly cannonballs in order to survive!

Sanji spends the day with a very old chef who teaches him the secret of packing amazing flavor into each and every dish!

Having deduced that Perona used her Horo-Horo powers to project her spirit, Usopp attempts to fire an attack at it. But the attack appeared to miss with Perona producing a Special Hollow bomb to hold Usopp while she returned to her body. Usopp luckily uses an Impact Dial to absorb the explosive force, using it to take out the Wild Zombie Hippo Gentleman with some injury as consequence. Usopp then reveals that he actually fired an adhesive on Perona's body, beating her by scaring the trapped girl to death with toy cockroaches and an inflatable ten-ton hammer. As Chopper begins to notice Jigoro and Inuppe acting less like Zoro and Sanji, Oars undergoes the same transition and makes his way back to Gecko Moriah. Meanwhile, Zoro and Ryuma's fight is getting intense as Brook tells Franky that Ryuma is actually fighting for real.

Moria's shadow escapes, leaving Luffy stranded in the forest, as some strange people reveal that they are looking for him. Zoro begins the fight against Oars, revealing the new 108 Caliber Phoenix with his newly-obtained sword, but Oars manages to avoid his attacks. Kuma informs Moria of the appointment of Blackbeard as Crocodile's replacement, and warns him that the Straw Hat pirates may defeat him, too. Moria refuses Kuma's offer to help him, and enters Oars' stomach to guide him against the crew. The crew realize that as Luffy failed to catch and defeat Moria, it is up to them to defeat Moria and Oars before dawn. Usopp runs to the kitchen to gather more salt to purify Oars, but Oars strikes out at him, destroying the passage to the kitchen. Brook, his injuries healed, manages to save Usopp and bring the Straw Hats a large bag of salt.

Hogback and Absalom escape Thriller Bark with the unconscious Moria, revealing that Blackbeard's Warlord status from defeating Ace. The next day, the Straw Hats celebrate their victory over Moria, but do not know why Zoro is so badly wounded. Sanji hears the story from the Risky Brothers, but prevents them from telling anyone else, saying it would trouble Luffy greatly to hear that Zoro suffered for his sake, but Robin eavesdrops on the conversation. Luffy tells Brook that Laboon is alive, and he is overjoyed to hear it, and begins to think about the time 50 years ago when he and his pirate crew first met Laboon.

Zoro's barely breathing, and Admiral Kizaru is ready to stomp him into oblivion. The battered and beaten Straw Hats could certainly use a powerful friend right about now.
