Chapter 365

At Enies Lobby, Spandam crows to his elephant Funkfreed about the ease with which he bagged Nico Robin and Cutty Flam, the pair who alone could bring the ancient weapon Pluton back to life. With the train still rolling toward Enies Lobby, Sanji clears out every man in Cart Six, which doubles as the communications car packed with Den Den Mushi and also confines Usopp and Franky. Franky offers Sanji his name and is comically kicked for it, and Usopp heads off any further scuffle, though the racket carries to the next car.

Back in Water 7, Kokoro leads the rest of the crew, all but Nami, to the Brick Warehouse, cautioning that the backup railway may not even run. Reaching the chamber, they find its door already standing open and step inside to discover the second of the railways, the Rocketman.

Iceburg steps out of it, explaining he had landed on the same idea and readied the locomotive for them, with the warning that it cannot be slowed and so is far from safe. Nami turns up with the pair of Blue Station workers, lugging a sack of sake and meat that thrills both Luffy and Zoro. As the group prepares to set off, the Franky Family turns up and pleads to ride along and rescue Franky; once they make clear that defying the government holds no fear for them, Luffy consents, and the plan, they note, is simply to latch onto the train. With the railway about to leave, the Franky Family departs to get ready while Paulie is glimpsed stowing away aboard the Rocketman, and the locomotive then sets out for Enies Lobby.

The chapter reveals that only two people can resurrect Pluton: Robin, who can decipher Poneglyphs, and Franky, who holds the blueprints, both now in CP9's hands. It confirms that Sanji has cleared the sixth cart of the Puffing Tom, that Franky and Usopp sit there among the Den Den Mushi, and that the unstoppable Rocketman will be the means of reaching Enies Lobby, with Iceburg having already finished its preparation. Paulie, the Galley-La shipwrights, and the Franky Family all resolve to join the crew, forming an alliance. The cover continues the Goldenweek side story, in which Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine grudgingly hitch onto the pterodactyl beside her as Dorry, all apparently forgiven, waves them off. The chapter is part of the Water 7 Arc.
