Titled "OK, Let's STAND UP!", this chapter opens the Straw Hats' assault on Arlong Park, with Luffy storming the fish-man captain over the tears he forced from Nami while his crewmates clear out the rest.
Summary
Following his explosive arrival, Luffy names himself and walks straight at Arlong. When two crewmen block his path demanding he talk first, he simply cracks their skulls together and drops them, stunning the onlookers. Ignoring all attempts at conversation, he drives a massive punch into the captain's face and hurls him across the room. The blow does no real harm, but Luffy's fury is plain as he roars that Arlong made his navigator weep, a flashback recalling Nami's desperate plea.
Key Events
The fish-men swarm Luffy and are kicked aside by Sanji, who scolds his captain for charging ahead while insisting he only wanted a share of the fight. Usopp hangs back as Zoro teases his nerve, and Hatchan seethes at the swordsman who tricked him. Outside, Johnny and Yosaku hold the villagers back, telling Genzo that making Nami cry is reason enough to risk everything. Hatchan summons the sea cow Momoo with a trumpet blast, exposing him as the beast that wrecked Gosa.
Notes
Still nursing the beating Luffy and Sanji gave him earlier, Momoo turns to flee, but a single sinister smile from Arlong frightens him into charging the crew instead. Luffy ends the nuisance by anchoring his feet in the rock, winding his rubber body, and swinging the sea cow in a vast arc that smashes the pillars and scatters the fish-men before launching the beast into the sea. He then declares he came only for Arlong, who gladly vows to kill him as Hatchan, Kuroobi, and Chew ready themselves for battle.
