Summary

Nami and Sanji finally locate the Waver tucked into a patch of grass. At the vault, meanwhile, Shepherd corners the others while waving an enormous bazooka, only for Robin to disarm him with ease, blooming her hands to wrench the barrel toward the floor and fire it skyward, launching him into the air as the group breaks free. Nami then ferries Sanji back to the ship before setting off alone to track the crew, catching Marines as they report that the pirates have bolted for the mountains.

Key Events

Mekao and Kobato steer the crew toward a cliff where the gold most likely sits, though Mekao warns that Jonathan would surely dangle the treasure as bait. Riding the Waver up the rock face, Nami rejoins the group, and together they conclude the loot must be stashed close to Jonathan's office. Luffy and Nami burst through his window to find the vice admiral, and the gold, waiting for them. Luffy grabs the haul but is ensnared in a Seastone net as reinforcements swarm in. Because the Marines reach for guns, Nami calls down lightning from her Clima-Tact to flatten every one of them, and the pair escape with the prize. The Going Merry, dressed up as a Navy vessel, scoops them up. Shepherd jeers at Jonathan over the getaway, yet Jonathan calmly maintains the pirates have dropped into his ultimate trap.

Notes

This installment is non-canon filler set in the G-8 Arc. The disguised Merry gliding past the Marine fleet sets up Jonathan's so-called final gambit, which the next episode delivers.
