A Bond of Friendship Woven by Tears! Nami's World Map!

Luffy declares the crew will save Robin just as the drawbridge begins to lower. Watching Robin's lonely days come to an end stirs Nami's memory of how she herself came to join the crew. The flashback opens with Nami warning Luffy to stay out of her hometown's affairs, then wrecking her own house in a fit of frustration while her sister Nojiko looks on.

Nami's history with Arlong unfolds: she served the fish-man crew to amass enough money to buy back her village, only for Marines on Arlong's payroll to steal her savings. Confronting Arlong, she is told to simply start over, and threatened with the slaughter of Cocoyasi Village should she run. The villagers, rallied by Genzo, resolve to fight back, and Gen's embrace finally convinces a tearful Nami to stop carrying the burden alone.

As Nami stabs at her hated tattoo, Luffy appears and stops her. After she begs for his help, he sets his straw hat on her head and storms Arlong Park, smashing the building apart in his clash with Arlong before rising from the rubble to call Nami his friend. Returning to the present, Nami steels herself to fight for Robin, and Luffy stretches out to carry the crew off the building.

The Enies Lobby drawbridge lowers as Luffy commits to rescuing Robin. Nami's Arlong Park backstory is recapped in full, including Arlong's betrayal, the villagers' uprising, and Luffy lending her his hat before toppling Arlong. In the present, Kokoro urges the crew on by Den Den Mushi and Luffy leaps with his friends in tow.

This Enies Lobby Arc episode pairs an Arlong Park recap with a Straw Hat Theater short, Obahan Time, which reimagines the entire crew as middle-aged women competing to be the strongest. A minor animation slip leaves Luffy's pants discolored during the free-fall, and the song We Are! can faintly be heard as the crew drops.
