This recut entry, the fourth of the Fish-Man Island Saga special edition, condenses the Caribou ambush and the taming of the Kraken into a single deep-sea chapter for the crew.
Summary
When the Caribou Pirates' raid falls apart, Caribou himself ends up stranded on the Thousand Sunny and is swiftly subdued by the Straw Hats. The crew then watches the Kraken tear the Caribou Pirates' ship apart. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji set out to bring the beast to heel, overpowering it with ease, only to be dragged into a powerful current in the aftermath.
Key Events
Caribou is left behind on the Sunny and quickly neutralized. The giant Kraken, later named Surume, demolishes the enemy ship. Three of the crew confront and tame the creature underwater before the current sweeps them away.
Notes
