Summary

Encountering Fujin and a squad of Orochi's ninja, Zoro fells every last one before turning his attention to recovering Shusui. Within the capital, Law surrenders so his Heart Pirates can walk free. At Udon, the remedy Chopper has prepared purges the Mummy virus from Luffy, and his vigor floods back.

Key Events

Fukurokuju's ninja set an ambush for Zoro and Hiyori; most drop easily, and even the stronger Fujin is downed without leaving a scratch on Zoro. The two take shelter in a house, where Zoro decides to win back Shusui ahead of the raid. Orochi berates Fukurokuju for letting Zoro slip away, and to soothe him the chief reports that another fugitive, Law, has been captured, brutally beaten, and chained. Wanted bills naming the allies and the Straw Hats are posted, and both Sanji and Shinobu discover they are hunted across the whole land. Perched on a rooftop, they plan their next steps, settling on freeing the imprisoned samurai allies, while Sanji watches townsfolk craft the lantern-like sky ships for the Fire Festival.

At Udon, Chopper at last completes the cure, treating Luffy first and the other inmates after. Nami reaches Bepo in the streets, and he shows her how Yasuie reworked the snake on the rebellion flyer with two added strokes to shift the meeting place. Once she departs, Bepo lays out Law's situation: he gave himself up to secure Bepo's release, after which Hawkins and Drake chained and tortured him for information.

Notes

New content includes Chopper administering the antidote to Luffy and a direct look at Law's torment. The Fujin fight is extended, with Fujin now wielding Armament Haki. Fukurokuju's report of Law's capture is shifted earlier than the manga places it, the Rasetsu District flashback is widened, and Bepo now cries out to Law. Not since Episode 4 had an episode drawn from a chapter numbered below itself. Several ninja make their debut, and the entry sits within the Wano Country arc.
