Summary

Realizing his caller is the Warlord Crocodile, Sanji plays the part of Mr. 3 and reports that Vivi and her Straw Hat protectors have been wiped out. Mid-conversation, Crocodile's animal couriers, an otter and a vulture known as the Unluckies, arrive carrying an Eternal Pose meant for Mr. 3 and turn on Sanji, who finishes them off.

With the giants safe and their century-old friendship restored, the crew prepares to depart. They set off using the Eternal Pose, and as a huge fish lunges for the Going Merry, Dorry and Brogy step in to protect them.

Key Events

To excuse the noise of the dead messengers, Sanji claims a surviving Straw Hat caused the disturbance, prompting Crocodile to send him back to Arabasta. After hanging up, Crocodile has Miss All-Sunday dispatch Mr. 2 to intercept and kill the real Mr. 3 along the way. Meanwhile Brogy weeps over Dorry, believing his rival slain, only for Dorry to wake up: a hundred years of use had dulled Brogy's axe enough to merely knock him out. The reunited giants then turn their battered weapons on the Island Eater as it tries to swallow the departing ship.

Notes

This entry marks the final chapter of the Little Garden Arc. The episode debuts the Island Eater, introduces Arabasta Kingdom and Rainbase as locations, and unveils Crocodile's Suna Suna no Mi. 4Kids Entertainment fused Japanese episodes 67 and 77 into its own episode 47. A small art slip leaves Nami without the belt on her skirt. When the giants confront the Island Eater, they channel an energy that resembles the concept later formalized as Armament Haki.
