Charging into the Enemy's Territory - Bakura Town - Where Officials Thrive!

Gazelleman races off with Tama while Batman's arrows keep Luffy and Zoro pinned, leaving them unable to reach her. To everyone's surprise, Kiku snatches up a katana and gives chase, climbing onto Komachiyo when the gazelle-man's speed proves too great on foot. Luffy grapples onto the giant dog as well, showing off his Gomu Gomu no Mi powers in front of Tsuru and Kiku, and Zoro hops aboard as they speed away. Batman harasses them again, and Luffy answers with a tremendous leaping punch, but the bat-man endures it and withdraws, his task done.

Kiku guesses the kidnappers are bound for nearby Bakura Town, and when Zoro questions her over the katana, she binds up her hair and declares herself a samurai. Gazelleman reports to his superior, the gifter Holed'em, who orders the girl brought to him after learning she tamed their baboon guard Hihimaru. In a Bakura bar, Mouseman counsels the sulking Urashima that crushing the poor Kiku's livelihood would win her more easily than courtship, and the wrestler tests his cruelty by demanding the elderly bar owners cook their pet raccoon-dog. Tama is set before Holed'em, whose ferocious lion head, attached at his waist with a will of its own, terrifies her. When she lies that animals simply like her, Holed'em, already tipped off about her cheek-pulling ability, calls for pinchers and grabs her.

The episode ends on a To Be Continued screen as Luffy unleashes Supreme King Haki. Debuts include Kamijiro, Mouseman, Hiroshi, Wakasa, Saikoro, and Holed'em. The anime adds Batman firing more arrows right after the kidnapping, Luffy attempting a punch that Batman blocks with Armament Haki, Tama's arrival at Holed'em's residence, and an enraged Law leaving the abandoned house and rallying Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin to stop Luffy before his rampage worsens their plan.
