Key Events

The anime expands on the source with several additions. The remaining Straw Hats are shown making their way toward Elbaf's Sun World with Road trailing them. After striking his bargain with Loki, Luffy overshoots his leap and sails past the bridge before redirecting himself with his powers back into Gerd's waiting hands. Zoro and Sanji are seen knocking a tree log into position so Road slams into it head first, and the giants' retaliatory strike on Road is presented from three separate angles, with Luffy visible on Gerd's shoulder. A montage of the Western Village rounds out the sequence, depicting giants drawing water, children balancing on a log, and others at work on a rooftop.
