Summary

Nearly all the Straw Hats converge once more on the Thousand Sunny, with only three still absent. At the same time the Fake Straw Hat Crew works the archipelago, staging a rally and drawing onlookers with the stolen name. The two groups, genuine and counterfeit, move through the same crowded islands as the deception plays out around the gathered pirates and curious bystanders.

The fragile cover does not last. Attacking Pacifistas tear into the scene and expose both the pretenders and the real crew, shifting the Marines' attention squarely onto Luffy's reunited pirates as they prepare to dive toward the New World.

Key Events

The reunion of the crew at their ship and the collapse of the impostors' charade drive the episode. The Pacifista strike unmasks the Fake Straw Hat Crew and forces the genuine Straw Hats into the open, redirecting the Marines toward the true threat just as the voyage to the New World is set to begin.
