Titled "Release," this chapter pays off Sanji's scheme as he frees the drowning crew, while Smoker reveals Miss All Sunday's two decade flight from the World Government and the deeper stakes hidden in Arabasta.
As Chopper sprints off as the decoy, Sanji recounts how the ruse came together: convincing Crocodile that the Millions had beaten Mr. Prince, then sending Chopper rampaging in that persona. When the warlord arrived to kill him, Chopper shrank from Heavy Point to Brain Point and tiptoed past unnoticed.
Inside the cage the water keeps rising. Nami suggests provoking the Bananawani into biting the bars apart, but the cage withstands even their jaws. Pressed on why he stays so calm, Smoker turns the question around, asking how much of Crocodile's true aim the crew actually grasps, and reveals that Miss All Sunday has been hunted by the government for over twenty years. Luffy waves off the politics, insisting no reason is needed to flatten Crocodile, even as the seawater begins to drain his strength.
Just as hope runs out, Sanji bursts in and fells a Bananawani with one kick. Smoker identifies the third beast to enter as the one that swallowed the key, recognizing it by its growl. Crocodile, returning to the room, dismisses the danger: the dropped key was a forgery and he holds the genuine one. He arrives to find the cage swinging open underwater, the Bananawani and a battered Mr. 3 floating limp, and a taunting note from Mr. Prince left behind.
Smoker details that Miss All Sunday carries a bounty above 70 million Berries, close to Crocodile's own former figure, and that his alliance with her hints at something in Arabasta worth igniting a civil war over. The cover is a color spread of Luffy in a feathered, peace emblazoned outfit beside a rifle wielding Nami and a helmeted jaguar.
In Chapter 175, "Release," Sanji frees the crew from the flooding cage by dispatching one of the Bananawani, while Smoker reveals that Miss All Sunday has evaded the World Government for over two decades.
In Chapter 175, Smoker reveals that Miss All Sunday, later confirmed as Nico Robin, has been hunted by the World Government for more than twenty years and carries a bounty above 70 million Berries.
In Chapter 175, Sanji bursts into the flooding room and kills a Bananawani with a single kick, opening the way to free the caged Straw Hats and Smoker before the water can finish them off.
One Piece Chapter 175 is titled "Release" (Kaiho in Japanese), part of the Arabasta Arc.
When Crocodile returns in Chapter 175, he finds the cage swinging open underwater, the Bananawani and a battered Mr. 3 floating unconscious, and a taunting note left behind by Mr. Prince, revealing that the key he dropped earlier was a forgery.
