The 900th episode lingers on a tender lull as Tsuru's remedy cures Tama and she savors her first bowl of sweet red-bean soup, before bat-winged and gazelle-formed SMILE users shatter the peace and carry the child away.
In the impoverished Okobore Town teahouse, Luffy forces a bitter dose of strong medicine on the resistant Tama while Kiku and Tsuru look after her. Outside, Kiku insists on bandaging the wounds Zoro took earlier, and the swordsman quietly relents. Tama soon wakes feeling fully recovered, to everyone's delight, though her ravenous hunger sends her bolting for the polluted river until Tsuru stops and scolds her again. When Tsuru offers a bowl of red-bean soup, Tama refuses, ashamed she cannot pay for food or treatment in a town where rations are scarce, and only relents when Tsuru loses patience and threatens to dump the soup in the street.
Reminded by Luffy that it is her birthday, Tama takes her first sip, weeps with joy into the bowl, and declares it the greatest day of her life, moving Tsuru to tears as well. After Tama drifts off, Luffy seethes at Kaido and the Beasts Pirates for ruining Kuri's land and people. Tsuru sees through the pair's disguises but vows silence, then recounts how the Kouzuki Family's Paradise Farm once fed the village before Orochi and the Beasts Pirates seized it. An enemy eavesdrops, and an arrow streaks at Tsuru's head, blocked by Zoro's blade. The attacker, the bat-SMILE user Batman, swoops down on leathery wings and rains controllable arrows; Zoro parries them all and ends the barrage with an explosive technique. While the two are occupied, the swift Gazelleman seizes the sleeping Tama and sprints off as she screams for Luffy.
Batman and Gazelleman both debut in this episode. The anime adds Tama actually drinking the remedy, Zoro warning Luffy not to reveal his real name to Tsuru, Batman listening in before firing, and Luffy dodging and deflecting arrows of his own. Tama's refusal of the soup and Zoro's deflections are extended, Tsuru physically cuts off Tama's dash to the river rather than merely calling out, a silhouette of Orochi appears earlier than in the manga, and the anime clarifies that Batman steers his arrows using sound waves.
