Wrapping the separation storyline, this entry splits between two stranded swordsmen. Zoro and Perona find a colossal grave on their way back to Sabaody, while Brook resolves to clear a debt before he hunts down the rest of the crew.
Summary
Making his way seaward in hopes of reaching Sabaody once more, Zoro keeps company with Perona, and the two of them happen upon a gigantic gravestone. On a separate island, Brook concludes that chasing after Luffy and his friends will have to wait, because he feels obligated first to repay what he owes the people of Harahettania on Namakura Island.
Key Events
Several beats only implied in the manga are dramatized here. Perona is seen returning Zoro's swords to him on screen, and Namakura Island's cultists tell Brook their tale directly. The episode also cuts away briefly to the war-bound vessel, where Jinbe and Crocodile slip into yet another spat and nearly trade blows while sailing toward Marineford.

Notes
With this chapter, the serialized Straw Hat separation storyline reaches its conclusion. FUNimation's subtitled cut of the Japanese DVD reworks several Zoro scenes, rendering the shadowed figures less obscured, raising the count of beasts in the final shot, and shifting the camera from a bottom-up motion to a left-right sweep. Sancrin makes a first appearance, and the installment draws chiefly on chapter cover-page material.
