Saying Goodbye and Descending from the Elephant - Setting Out to Take Back Sanji!

The coalition of ninja, pirates, minks, and samurai settles on dividing into four smaller bands, each handed its own task ahead of a planned reunion at Wano. Usopp gives Nami a strengthened Clima-Tact, and Pedro argues that out of all the minks, he is the only one fit to ride with Luffy's party, since none but him can keep Pekoms restrained.

From there, Luffy and his companions climb down to the Sunny and shove off toward Totto Land, determined to bring Sanji back. Far across the seas in Arabasta, Princess Vivi gets ready to take to the water herself so she can attend the Levely.

Their assignments handed out, the squad tasked with recovering Sanji descends from the elephant and departs. Kin'emon shows off his Vivre Card before the four groups go over their goals, and Nami reveals the upgraded second model of her Clima-Tact, which whirls beyond her control for a brief moment. The Zou threads of the episode wrap up as the rescuers leave, after which attention turns to Arabasta where Vivi prepares a journey of her own.

Scenes original to the anime include Nekomamushi telling his Guardians to watch over Zunesha before Pedro steps forward, Shishilian charging at Pedro until Wanda places herself between them, and the dog minks and others giving Brook and Chopper their goodbyes. The reinforced weapon debuts the Grow Up technique. Returning to the screen for the first time since the timeskip are Vivi, the duck Karoo, and the warrior Chaka. The installment sits inside the Zou Arc.
