Sand Crocodile and Water Luffy! Death Match: Round 2

Standing over a downed Crocodile, Luffy taunts the Warlord to rise and keep fighting, which only draws laughter. The pirate boy has cracked the puzzle of striking a sand body by keeping himself soaked, but Crocodile remains certain of victory, reminding Luffy of his rank among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Unbothered, Luffy brands himself the eighth Warlord, a boast that leaves Cobra stunned and earns a quiet explanation from Miss All Sunday that this is the youth who escorted Vivi home.

Crocodile counters every soaking attempt, even drying out Luffy's arm, until Luffy gulps an entire barrel and swells his belly, declaring himself Water Luffy. He sprays the stored water across his opponent and lands a Gomu Gomu no Bazooka square in the gut, dropping the Warlord again. Crocodile recovers, addresses Miss All Sunday as Nico Robin, and unleashes Ground Secco, leeching moisture from the entire palace grounds and turning the lawn to barren sand.

In the Palace Square, Vivi warns the others that a massive cannon will fire within ten minutes, killing everyone inside a five kilometer span and ending both armies at once. Zoro pushes the group to hunt down the gun and its operator. When Billions agents corner Vivi hoping to trade her for a promotion, Sanji and Zoro hold them off so the rest can scatter and search. Robin pulls the stakes from Cobra and forces him to guide her toward the Pluton inscription, while Tashigi and her Marines try to block the path and are swiftly cut down by Robin's Hana Hana powers. A Marine recalls that two decades earlier, an eight year old Robin sank six warships for a bounty of 79,000,000 Berries before vanishing.

The episode marks the technique debuts of Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Pistol Shotgun, Mizu Luffy, and Mizu Mizu no Pistol, Crocodile's Ground Secco and Ground Death, and Robin's Treinta Fleur and Strangle. The anime inserts an extra sequence showing the crew, Vivi, and Pell combing the city for the cannon. It belongs to the Arabasta Arc and first aired in Japan with later English broadcasts under the title Live and Let Dry.
