Summary:
Luffy, Nami and Zoro confront Buggy the Clown. Buggy threatens to fire a Buggy Ball at Luffy, but this attack is redirected back at his men.
The girl introduces herself as Nami, a thief who targets pirates and steals from them. After working with Luffy to escape from the Buggy Pirates, they take refuge in a restaurant where Nami reveals her goal of collecting 100 million berries for an unknown cause. He then goes on to reveal his navigational abilities.
Nami betrays Luffy, ties him up, and hands him over to the Buggy Pirates as a goodwill gesture. Buggy accepts, cages Luffy, and prepares the Buggy Ball, a powerful, explosive cannonball. Buggy’s pirates fire a cannon into the distance and destroy a whole row of houses. Zoro, who has just arrived in the city, notices the explosion.
Buggy then orders Nami to fire a Buggy Ball at Luffy, but she refuses. Another pirate lights the cannon’s fuse for her, but Nami extinguishes the fuse with her bare hands and burns herself. Buggy orders his pirates to attack her.
Zoro comes to her aid and attacks Buggy, cutting off his arm and leg. However, Buggy’s severed hand stabbed Zoro from behind and then reattached to Buggy’s arm. He reveals that he ate the Bara Bara no Mi, which allowed him to split into pieces, control them, and reattach them. Despite this, Zoro runs to the cannon, readjusts it to aim at the Buggy Pirates, and allows Nami to relight the fuse and fire the cannon.
Nami was shown sitting on the balcony talking to Luffy in the manga, while in the anime she is just peeking out from the balcony. It contradicts the flashback shown in episode 516.
In the manga, Buggy Pirate, who tries to explain the theft of the map (and inadvertently offends Buggy’s nose), is killed by the Buggy Ball; in the anime he is physically abused but ultimately spared.
In the manga, Nami reveals to Luffy the reason why she wanted to earn Bela 100,000,000, but in the anime, this is not the case.
In the manga, the scene where Nami tied up Luffy was done outside, but in the anime it took place inside one of the houses in the village.
Other scenes in the manga were omitted from the anime, including Nami having a drinking contest with one of Buggy’s crew members and Nami teasing Luffy during Buggy’s party.
In the manga, Luffy is shown chewing on his cage, but not in the anime.
An additional scene showing Nami removing the wooden parts of the staff from her skirt.
