One Piece episode 108 traps most of the Straw Hats in Crocodile's flooding cell while Vivi struggles to break free. A surprise call from a so-called Mr. Prince rattles Crocodile, and a familiar voice gives the crew sudden hope.
Summary
In Arabasta, Chaka commands the royal guard to hold off the rebels and shield the kingdom, while Koza leads his fighters onward toward Alubarna. Deep in Crocodile's casino, the captured pirates remain caged. Crocodile mocks the bound Vivi, dangling the key to their cell, but the key he is holding slips through a trapdoor on purpose and is promptly swallowed by one of his banana crocodiles below.
Mr. 0 informs the prisoners in his VIP chamber that rising water grants them only an hour to live. Just as he prepares to depart with Miss All-Sunday, his responder snail rings. The caller introduces himself as Mr. Prince, a voice the crew instantly recognizes as Sanji.
Key Events
Working at her ropes, Vivi manages to wriggle loose, though her attempt to grab the key from Crocodile fails. She then sets out to fetch Sanji and Chopper so the rest of the crew can be saved. Before the princess can slip away, the casino bridge gives out and seals her inside. Sanji clarifies that the collapse was not aimed at trapping her, but at keeping Baroque Works locked out of the building.
Notes
The adaptation visualizes Vivi freeing herself from the rope and reaching for the key, moments the source material handled more briefly. The anime also inserts a fresh exchange in which Mr. 1 and Mr. 2 squabble while they and Miss Doublefinger travel toward Alubarna. The installment falls within the Arabasta Arc.
