Save the Children! The Crew Starts to Fight

Tumbling out of their cell, Sanji and the rest spill into the Biscuits Room, where the giant-sized children leave them stunned, who first shrink away before mobbing Franky and Chopper and jeering at Sanji as spiral eyebrows. The cheer collapses when the detached samurai head roars out a question about a boy named Momonosuke, sending the kids fleeing. Hazmat soldiers move in, and the children plead to be carried off with the pirates, admitting this is no daycare and that all they want is to go home. Sanji argues that rescuing every stranger is no duty of theirs, yet Nami cannot ignore a weeping child and doubles back. Sanji then erupts with Diable Jambe: Collier Strike, Chopper pitches in through Kung Fu Point, and Franky throws his Strong Right, the two men remaining behind to stall the soldiers so the children can flee with Nami and Chopper.

On the scorching half, Luffy's party arrives at the lake, where Usopp grows fan grass through his Green Star and fires off a Boaty Banana to form a boat, the grass doubling as oars. He brags of the skills he honed on the Boin Archipelago as they fight the savage winds churned up by the island's temperature divide. The leopard centaur returns, lobs a boulder at the craft, then blows a horn to call his boss. A swarm of centaurs assembles on the far bank, their leader picking out the sword-bearing samurai aboard and concluding he is the one who felled his men. Outside the lab, Brook is rolling snowmen when a samurai's torso wielding a flame-like blade abruptly bears down on him.

Doran, Uzu, Ally, and Biyo all make their first appearances, and several techniques debut, among them Usopp's Midori Boshi grass attacks and Sanji's Collier Strike. The adaptation adds fresh material: a stretch of Franky modeling his various hairdos, a moment in which the children play with Sanji and Chopper until the samurai cuts in, Brook packing snowballs for his figures, the torso shredding those snowmen, and Sanji igniting Diable Jambe while airborne. On its original airing, the broadcast promoted the coming theatrical film with a ticker scrolling across the closing seconds.
