Summary:
Fake Luffy and the real Luffy come face to face, though the impostor is quickly defeated thanks to Luffy’s use of Haki. Chopper mistakes the Fake Straw Hat Crew for his own friends, but leaves after seeing how different they are from his real crew; The fake Straw Hats soon realize who Chopper is. Sanji learns more about what his crewmates have been up to for the past two years and sets out to find them.
The episode begins with Fake Luffy threatening Luffy and ordering him to apologize for not only not seeing him, but also bumping into him on the street. Luffy remembers the moment he landed on the Sabaody Archipelago along with the Kuja Pirates. Hancock tells him that he has to say goodbye here because he can’t let anyone know about their relationship yet and gives him a mustache (disguise) so that no one will recognize him at all. Luffy says he doesn’t need it but takes it anyway. She informs Luffy that she has packed his backpack with everything he needs for at least three to five years. Luffy says goodbye to the Kuja Pirates, who promise to always be there to help him. Elder Nyon informs Luffy that the Marines are currently heavily guarding Sabaody. Luffy remembers this and decides not to cause any trouble in the streets.
Meanwhile, at Shakky’s Rip-off Bar, Sanji learns from Shakky that all of the Straw Hat crew except for Luffy and Nico Robin have already arrived in Sabaoda before him. Rayleigh informs him that the Thousand Sunny has been completely repaired and coated. Duval begins to tell the story of how he and his men have been protecting Sunny since the Straw Hats weren’t there. Sanji ignores him when he hears Shakky talking about Nami. Sanji learns that all the crew members have trained a lot, so they must have gotten stronger over the two years.
Elsewhere, Chopper enjoys cotton candy and watches some new pirate thugs fight each other on the streets of Sabaody. The pirate captain there announces that he will defeat all the famous pirates in the New World. Then some of the Impostor Straw Hats pirates appear on the street, consisting of Fake Sanji, Fake Zoro, Fake Robin, and Fake Chopper. Everyone gets scared when they see them, but Chopper takes them for real Straw Hats and starts following them. Robin is seen walking down the street right behind them. Sanji hurries towards Sunny and is seen by Robin from a distance.
The scene cuts back to Fake Luffy threatening Luffy, saying that he made a fool of him. Even the public encourages Luffy to apologize so that his life will be spared. Despite everyone telling him to apologize, Luffy ignores them and heads forward, clashing with Fake Luffy again. This time, Fake Luffy shoots Luffy without wasting time, but Luffy dodges the bullets with his Kenbunshoku Haki and then unleashes his Haoshoku Haki on them. While they are on the ground unconscious and Luffy walks away, the people are unable to understand what happened and are completely confused by the sight.
Once again, the fake Straw Hats realize that the talking raccoon chasing them is the real Chopper, who was only worth Beli50. They agree to use it to replace the Fake Helicopter so they can look more like the real crew. Fake Robin agrees to take him in, but Fake Helicopter retaliates by biting her head. Seeing this opportunity, the two men who had been following the real Robin captured the Fake Robin and the Fake Helicopter, thinking they were real. Chopper then decides to save Robin.
After checking out Sunny’s kitchen, Sanji visits the market and learns of a very popular shop in Grove 42. When he goes there, he finds the shopkeeper tending to a green-haired man with three swords and a scar on his eye. He confirms that it is Zoro and learns that he inadvertently headed to Fish-Man Island on another pirate ship. Suddenly, a huge galleon emerges from the water, split in half, making everyone wonder how someone could cut such a huge galleon with just a sword. They find Zoro aboard the ship and realize it’s his job. The episode ends with Zoro realizing he got on the wrong ship.
