The ninth season of the One Piece anime series was directed by Kōnosuke Uda and produced by Toei Animation. Like the rest of the series, it follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates from Eiichirō Oda's One Piece manga series.[1] The majority of the season covers the "Enies Lobby" (エニエス·ロビー, Eniesu Robī) story arc,[2] which adapts Oda's manga from the end of the 39th through the 45th volumes. Between Enies Lobby episodes there is the five episode arc "Straw Hat Theater & Straw Pirate Tales"[n 1] (麦わら劇場&麦わら海賊譚, Mugiwara Gekijō & Mugiwara Kaizoku Dan), with the flashback scenes being shown in 4:3 fullscreen format and are pillarboxed within the 16:9 widescreen format, and three episodes covering the "Historical Drama Boss Luffy" (時代劇 ｢ルフィ親分捕物帖｣).[3] "Ice Hunter" deals with the Straw Hats taking on the Atchino Family to retrieve their flag. The final episode is a stand-alone storyline featuring Chopperman.
Having crossed the yearly occurring storm called Aqua Laguna (アクア·ラグナ, Akua Raguna) on the prototype sea train Rocketman (ロケットマン), piloted by sea train conductor Kokoro (ココロ), the Straw Hats, including Usopp, disguised as his alternate ego, the sharpshooting superhero Sniper King, and their allies, the Franky Family (フランキー一家, Furankī Ikka), the Galley-La Company (ガレーラカンパニー, Garēra Kanpanī) foremen, and the sumo-wrestling frog Yokozuna (ヨコズナ), assault the government's stronghold island Enies Lobby to reclaim their comrades Franky and Nico Robin from the secret assassination group Cipher Pol No. 9 (CP9). Afterwards, they avoid annihilation by the dreaded military operation Buster Call (バスターコール, Basutā Kōru). And once back on the city island Water 7 (ウォーターセブン, Wotā Sebun), the Straw Hats add Franky to their crew and acquire a new ship, the Thousand Sunny (サウザンドサニ, Sauzando Sanī). Lastly, they encounter a group of bounty hunters, called the Atchino Family.
Each episode of "Straw Hat Theatre & Straw Pirate Tales" features a 21-minute recap of the Straw Hats' backstories and 3-minute omake adaptation of a short comic by Oda which was originally published in the One Piece Log fan magazine.[4][5] The "Historical Drama Boss Luffy" episodes are sequels to the fourth One Piece television special which take place in Grand Jipang.
The season initially ran from May 21, 2006, through December 23, 2007 on Fuji Television.[6][7] Since then, nineteen DVD compilations, each containing three episodes of the "Enies Lobby" arc, were released by Avex Mode between January 9, 2008 and July 1, 2009.[4][8] A 20th DVD, containing two episodes, was released on August 5, 2009.[9] A 21st DVD, containing four episodes, was released on September 2, 2009.[10] The special arc was released on a single DVD on May 23, 2008.[5] In July 2012, Funimation announced they had acquired this season as part of their own US "Season Five".
The season uses six pieces of theme music: four opening themes and two ending themes. The opening theme for the first part of the "Enies Lobby" arc is "Brand New World" by D-51 for the first fifteen episodes; the special arc of five episodes open with "We Are! (7 Straw Hat Pirates Ver.)" (ウィーアー!〜7人の麦わら海賊団篇〜, Wī Ā! Shichinin no Mugiwara Kaizokudan Hen), sung by the Japanese voice actors of the first seven Straw Hat Pirates; the second part of the "Enies Lobby" arc uses "Crazy Rainbow" by Tackey & Tsubasa, up to episode 325, and "Jungle P" by 5050, until the end of the season. The two ending themes are "Adventure World" by Delicatessen, used in the first 15 episodes of the "Enies Lobby" arc, and the special ending theme, "Family", also sung by the Straw Hats' voice actors, which was used to end the episodes of the special arc. All episodes of the second part of the "Enies Lobby" arc and after have since aired without an ending theme.

| As the Straw Hats and their allies are about to reach Enies Lobby, Paulie sketches the island's terrain and explains that, to save Robin, the crew must reach her before she passes through the Gates of Justice (正義の門, Seigi no Mon). Since the Straw Hats are the only ones with any chance of matching the CP9 in combat, the Franky Family and the Galley-La foremen intend to be the first wave so the pirates can rush in on Rocketman. As Enies Lobby draws near, the gigantic Gates of Justice appears in the sky behind it. While his crewmates and allies gaze in awe, Luffy ignores the plan and strides past the first of the gates. On the other side of the island, in the Tower of Law (司法の塔, Shihō no Tō), Chief Spandam and other CP9 agent await the arrival of Rob Lucci's group and their prisoners. | ||||||||||||

| Luffy easily gets past the second gate, while the Franky Family and the Galley-La foremen, following their initial plan, break the first gate's defenses. All goes smoothly at first, but by the time the Franky Family's main force reaches the second gate, the marines have the giants Oimo (オイモ) and Kashi (カーシー, Kāshī) to take up their posts. Overmatched in strength and size, the Franky Family send their largest fighters, the Kairiki Destroyers (怪力デストロイヤーズ, Kairiki Desutoroiyāzu). However, even these overly large humans can do little against the giants' power and are quickly defeated. On the other side of the gate, Luffy faces the collective might of Enies Lobby's 10,000 men. | ||||||||||||
| 266 | 3 | "Battle Against Giants! Open the Second Gate!" Transliteration: "Kyojinzoku to no Kōbō! Dai Ni no Mon o Akero!" (Japanese: 巨人族との攻防! 第2の門を開けろ!) | Yoko Ikeda | Hirohiko Kamisaka | June 11, 2006[13] | August 10, 2014 | ||||||
| The Galley-La foremen and the leading members of the Franky Family arrive late at the second gate because they had to mount the Franky Family's king bulls (キングブル), sea dwelling animals that look like sea horses, on caterpillar tracks. Combining forces, they manage to pin down Kashi against a wall. Then, taunting Oimo, they goad him into accidentally knocking Kashi out. In the Tower of Law, Spandam receives an incomplete report about the number of people that Luffy took out, believing the enemy captain is not a threat. Lucci's party arrives and the CP9 celebrate their reunion with petty bickering and a contest of strength. Meanwhile, Luffy, defying resistance, makes his way towards the Courthouse Plaza. | ||||||||||||

| Robin and Franky are brought before Spandam, while Luffy blasts through waves of marines. The Galley-La foremen and the Franky Family eventually slip by Oimo and open the second gate. However, their joy is short-lived, as a group of marines closes the first gate behind them. To overcome the unanticipated obstacle, Zoro changes the plan. Yokozuna bends the island's outside fence downward. Using it as a ramp, the sea train jumps over both of the gates and crash lands into Oimo's back, finishing him off, and concluding everyone's arrival at the main island. As the marines' elite Law's Watch Dog Unit enters the now escalating fight. | ||||||||||||
| 268 | 5 | "Catch Up with Luffy! The Straw Hats’ All-Out Battle" Transliteration: "Rufi ni Oitsuke! Mugiwara Ichimi Sōryokusen" (Japanese: ルフィに追いつけ! 麦わら一味総力戦) | Directed by : Hiroaki Miyamoto Storyboarded by : Eisaku Inoue | Hirohiko Kamisaka | June 25, 2006[n 6][15] | August 24, 2014 | ||||||
| The Straw Hats struggle to catch up with Luffy, but get caught up in impeding each other's efforts; Sanji and Zoro indulge themselves in petty bickering and Nami injures her crewmates by testing her newly improved weapon. The streets appear empty, abandoned by the men who were fighting Luffy. Just then, the Law's Watch Dog Unit and a large group of other men step into their way. A fight seems inevitable until their allies, riding the king bulls, arrive. Paulie uses his ropes to pull the crew onto the back of one of the large animals. Then the Galley-La foremen replace Straw Hats' in battle to allow the rest of the group to escape. | ||||||||||||
| 269 | 6 | "Robin Betrayed! The Motive of the World Government!" Transliteration: "Uragira re ta Robin! Sekai Seifu no Omowaku!" (Japanese: 裏切られたロビン! 世界政府の思惑!) | Katsumi Tokoro | Hirohiko Kamisaka | June 25, 2006[n 6][15] | September 7, 2014 | ||||||
| Spandam tells Robin that her crew has come to save her and that he, despite the agreement between her and the CP9, plans on taking them prisoner. On the main road, the Straw Hats and the Franky Family proceed towards the Courthouse Plaza. Chopper talks with the king bull Sodom, who notes that Usopp did not make it onto his back. Meanwhile, frustrated with his inability to move forward, Luffy slingshots himself onto the courthouse roof. There, Blueno is awaiting his arrival. | ||||||||||||
| 270 | 7 | "Give Robin Back! Luffy vs. Blueno!" Transliteration: "Robin o Kaese! Rufi vs. Burūno!" (Japanese: ロビンを返せ! ルフィvsブルーノ!) | Takahiro Imamura | Hirohiko Kamisaka | July 2, 2006[16] | September 14, 2014 | ||||||
| Oimo explains to Usopp about how he and Kashi came to support the marines. The marines told them that they arrested their bosses: the giants Dorry and Broggy that the Straw Hats met shortly after entering the Grand Line. Sodom the king bull incurs severe damage and urges the Straw Hats riding him to continue without him. Quickly, they board Sodom's brother Gomorrah and continue on. Atop the courthouse roof, the fight between Blueno and Luffy begins with the latter's first punch appearing to have a greater effect compared to their previous encounter. | ||||||||||||

| Kokoro and her granddaughter Chimney contact the Straw Hats by means of Nami's portable transponder snail phone. They inform them of Luffy's location and instruct them on how to lower the courthouse's drawbridge. The Franky Family decides to lower it. Just then, the second of Enies Lobby's elite units enters the battle. One of the Guilty Jurymen throws his massive iron ball at Gomorrah, knocking him down. Luckily, Usopp turns the tides with Omoi and Kashi after revealing the truth of Dorry and Broggy having never been imprisoned. Gomorrah, arising again despite severe injury, tells those riding him to hold on as he plans to take them to their destination. Inside the Tower of Law, Kaku and Kalifa hesitatingly eat the devil fruits that Spandam has given them. | ||||||||||||

| Although Gomorrah was blinded, he continues on. Sanji and Zoro crush a building in the king bull's path and the party arrives at the courthouse. On the other side of the drawbridge, Spandam is brought a transponder snail phone with an urgent report. Confident that he will only be told of the Straw Hats' capture, he allows Robin and Franky to listen in, letting them know of their rescuers' success. In front of the courthouse, Zoro cuts open the building's immense stone door. The Franky Family split into three groups, two of which storm the drawbridge towers to reach the levelers at their tops. On the courthouse's roof, Luffy and Blueno fight on even terms until Luffy activates his newest technique, the Second Gear. | ||||||||||||

| The Straw Hats storm the courthouse, where the remaining members of the Franky Family fight the three-headed judge Baskerville, and, aided by Yokozuna, block the building's entrance to cut off reinforcements. Above them, Luffy's Second Gear is put into action against Blueno, while his crew fight their way upstairs. On the main road, the giants have defeated the Law's Watch Dog Unit, and with Usopp and the Galley-La foremen are heading for the plaza. Luffy defeats Blueno, steps past his unconscious body, and cries out for Robin to hear that he has arrived. | ||||||||||||

| Franky cannot understand why Robin refuses to be saved after Spandam broke his promise. While Luffy yells in the background, Franky decides to make Robin face him. He uses his remaining cola to inflate his buttocks and with a giant fart, launches himself and Robin outside, onto the balcony, and into Luffy's sight, breaking his chains in the process. Luffy wants to slingshot himself over the waterfall to rescue Robin, but she tells him to stay where he is and that only she wants to die. In front of the courthouse, Yokozuna succumbs to the jurymen's attacks. The marines are about to pour in as the giants arrive and assume control of the position. Kashi throws Usopp up onto the courthouse roof where he joins the assembling Straw Hats. Gathering on the battlements, they face Robin and the CP9, while they wait for the drawbridge to be lowered. | ||||||||||||

| Twenty years into the past, Robin is growing up on the island of Ohara. Her aunt, with whom she lives while her mother is away doing research, treats her poorly. Other children ostracize her. Studying in the world's greatest library, the Tree of Omniscience, in the hopes of being allowed to help the local archeologists in their forbidden research, Robin earns the rank of a scholar in archaeology at age eight. However, when she announces her intention to help, her request is denied because of her youth. Disappointed at being rejected again, she walks along the shore, where she stumbles on Jaguar D. Saul, a giant and deserted vice-admiral of the navy. The two become friends and Saul teaches her to laugh. | ||||||||||||

| Saul is shocked to learn that Robin is Nico Olvia's daughter and that he has been washed up on the shores of Ohara. Olvia, who returned to the island on a stolen navy ship, hurries to the Tree of Omniscience to warn her colleagues of a coming navy fleet. However, she is too late. The government ship that carried Spandam's father Spandaine and his men had already arrived. They frighten the island's population into boarding an evacuation ship, while the government soldiers arrest the scholars and search the library. Professor Clover, Robin's mentor, urges Robin to board the evacuation ship, but she refuses. As it becomes clear that the scholars will not be forgiven for their forbidden research, Clover asks to be allowed to speak to the heads of the government, known as the Five Elder Stars. | ||||||||||||

| Professor Clover is allowed to speak with one of the Elder Stars and reports of their research. He describes a civilization that existed hundreds of years ago and vanished at the time that the world government assumed power. He considers the collective evidence, which leads him to believe that the government tried to erase their former enemies from history. After stating that Ohara has learned too much, the Elder Star orders Spandaine to kill the professor and to give the order to destroy the island. Suddenly, the library is set aflame; while the scholars try to save the books, Robin admits to being an archeologist and unites with her mother. However, their reunion does not last long. Around them, cannon shots from the Buster Call's battleships start to hail down and Olvia sends her daughter off with Saul to flee the island, while she joins the effort to save the library's knowledge. | ||||||||||||

| Saul fights the battleships, attempting to allow Robin to escape. She tries to board the evacuation ship, but per Spandaine's orders and the village's disdain for her, she is denied access. Vize-Admiral Kuzan, later known as Admiral Aokiji, enters the scene to engage in battle with Saul. While they fight, the evacuation ship is sunk by the fanatical Vice-Admiral Sakazuki, later known as Admiral Akainu. Saul, on the verge of dying, instructs Robin to flee on his raft. Persuaded by Saul's argument and Sakazuki's action, Kuzan helps Robin escape. From then on, Robin lives a life on the run, not being able to trust even the kindest of people, in a world that believes that her existence alone is a sin. In the present, Robin admits her greatest fear: to be seen as a burden by her crewmates and cast away, because being with her means having the world as their enemy. Finally knowing what kept her away, Sniper King, on Luffy's order, burns the government's flag, declaring war against the World Government itself. | ||||||||||||

CP9 are then about to take their leave for the Gates of Justice when Franky reveals the Pluton blueprints that he hid in his body. Franky proceeds to explain that he and the previous shipwrights only kept the blueprints in case a counter is needed against another ancient weapon revived by the World Government through Robin. But seeing Robin not to be the monster the rumors made her out to be, Franky decides to gamble the fate of the world on the Straw Hats' resolve to save their friend and burns the blueprints. But then emotionally touched to find his gang are also on Enies Lobby to save him, a distracted Franky finds himself shoved off the balcony by a furious Spandam. At that time, after contacting the Straw Hats via transponder snail phone to jump aboard, Kokoro runs Rocketman up the half-lowered drawbridge.

But after causing himself and Zoro to fall to the floor where Usopp and Jabra are, Kaku finds himself being ridiculed for his appearance by Jabra.

Chopper arrives and is then sent off to obtain the Number 2 key from one of the other assassins. Chopper comes across Nami as she attempted to flee Kumadori after stealing the Number 3 key, knocking the CP9 operative out. Soon after, Nami and Chopper find a round and glossy Sanji hitting the ground from a few floors up. After Nami realizes his opponent was Kalifa, Sanji admits to have done his best in trying to get her key but could not bring himself to harm a woman. Despite scolding him for being too easy, Nami decides to take over and fight Kalifa while leaving Sanji in Chopper's care. | ||||||||||||

| As Nami reaches Kalifa while Chopper holds Kumadori at bay, Luffy is saved from drowning by Chimney and Gonbe as they show him to the underground passage leading to the Gates of Justice. Not having access to the key, Luffy activates his Third Gear to break through the gate leading to the passage. Meanwhile, low on reserves as he is down to the last drop of cola, Franky gets into a fist fight with Fukuro as their scuffle takes them to the kitchen. At the same time, with his Rumble Ball boost already run out, Chopper is knocked into the room by Kumadori whom he manages to lock in the giant fridge to Franky's annoyance. After a momentary spat between them before watching the cyborg get pummeled by Fukuro, followed a few misfires with other beverages, Chopper manages to give Franky the three cola bottles he needs to turn the tide as the cyborg knocks Fukuro out of the tower. | ||||||||||||

| Refreshed after having placed three full bottles of cola in his stomach compartment, Franky turns the tide in his battle with Fukurou as they take their battle outside and in the sea current with Chopper watching before seeing a bloated Kumadori emerge from the fridge. With Fukuro attempting to keep him from escaping the current leading to the waterfall surrounding Enies Lobby's main island, Franky barely saves himself by grabbing Fukurou's leg and forces him to moon walk back up to the ground to resume their fight. A furious Fukuro instead attempts to kill Franky by crushing him against the Tower of Law, only for Franky to hold onto his opponent with his dividable legs and stop the momentum with his air pressure cannon before using the latter to propel his opponent to the ground. Back inside the Tower of Law, after Usopp attempts to have Kaku and Jabra fight each other, Zoro reveals his own plan by holding onto Usopp while he clings onto one of his swords. | ||||||||||||

| As Zoro's strategy to use Usopp as a weapon falls apart, Chopper's breather ends as an overweight Kumadori frees himself from the fridge after eating everything inside. Kumadori uses his Life Return ability to digest the eaten food and regain his usual figure, explaining the ability to a fascinated Chopper before they resume their fight. Chopper quickly realizes that he cannot break through Kumadori's body-hardening technique without the effect of his Rumble Ball drug. Regardless of the risk as he already used one to save Nami and should not take another for six hours, Chopper uses a second Rumble Ball. Despite the erratic transformations, Chopper manages to enter Armed Point to land a hit on Kumadori. However, the attack only infuriates Kumadori as he beats the now weakened Chopper to submission before preparing for the deathblow. Chopper, remembering Kureha warning him not to take the risk again after learning of the devastation he caused the first time he did it, is left with no recourse but to use a third Rumble Ball with the thought to protect his friends. As a consequence, Chopper transforms into an oversized and purely instinct-driven version of himself that Kureha had best described as a monster. | ||||||||||||

Mistaking Rika to be the daughter of Tot-san, Buggy kidnaps her to collect Tot-san's debt. When Luffy comes to rescue her, the high official attempts to exile him for attacking an innocent citizen.

| Having taken three Rumble Balls, Chopper transforms into his berserk Monster Point form and easily defeats Kumadori despite his attempts to subdue the instinct-driven beast. Seeing the unconscious Kumadori being thrown towards Courthouse Plaza after getting Fukuro's number four key, deducing Kalifa has the key needed to free Zoro and Usopp, Franky finds himself being knocked off the tower by Chopper. Chopper then begins to climb up the outer wall. Meanwhile, after being momentarily weakened while Kalifa has a bath before she gets herself dressed, Nami realizes the essence of Kalifa's Devil Fruit power to be soap-related. Kalifa explains her ingestion of the Bubble-Bubble Fruit allowed her to produce foam from her body that "cleans" her opponent's body of any strength, using her touch to make Nami's legs glossy and smooth to render her unable to walk. At the same time, covering for Spandam so he can get Robin to the Gates of Justice, Lucci waits for Luffy as the pirate eventually reaches his location. | ||||||||||||

| At the Courthouse Plaza, the marines defeat Oimo and Kāshī and capture the Straw Hats' allies in the courthouse. Almost on the Bridge of Hesitation, which leads through the Gates of Justice, Spandam tries to contact the CP9 members at the tower to know what is going on with the pirates. But he learns too late that he accidentally invoked a Buster Call, causing ten battleships and five vice-admirals to be dispatched to Enies Lobby from the nearby navy headquarters. As Robin attempts to reason with him of what will happen to Enies Lobby once the Buster Call is invoked, Spandam makes another mistake by informing the whole island of the coming threat while admitting that he does not care if the 10,000 navy soldiers under him are obliterated in process. This causes the navy soldiers to leave their prisoners and flee to the coast. With the Buster Call underway, the CP9 operatives decide to end their respective matches quickly while Luffy begins his fight against Lucci. | ||||||||||||

| Lucci and Luffy begin their mutually anticipated duel while Kalifa manages to subject Nami to her Golden Time attack to completely smooth her into a weakling. But before Kailfa could deliver the death blow, Nami uses her Mirage Tempo to distract her before Chopper crashes through the wall. After attacking both the CP9 operative and an astonished Nami due to his inability to tell friend from foe in his Monster Point form, Chopper proceeds to rip Kalifa's bathtub out of its foundation and throws it down stairs where Sanji is. While Nami is deeply worried about Chopper, she realizes she needs to focus on Kalifa while learning her opponent's effects can be washed off with water. Kalifa attempts to stop Nami from reaching the torn up water pipes, only for Nami to use her Rain Tempo to restore herself. Now having scouted out Kalifa's abilities, Nami takes their fight to its climax by creating four illusionary doubles of herself. | ||||||||||||

| The fight between Nami and Kalifa climaxes when the former unveils her Fata Morgana ability and the latter makes a final attempt to take Nami and her illusion clones out by sweeping the room with a tidal wave of bubbles. But Nami's victory has been ensured as Kalifa is struck by a horizontal lightning bolt. Franky, who had followed Chopper in climbing up the walls of the Tower of Law, arrives as Nami is about to retrieve the Number Two key from Kalifa's person. After discussing Chopper's Monster Point form, they conceive a plan to save Chopper as they find him in the room where the still handcuffed Zoro and Usopp are holding their own against Kaku and Jabra. After Franky uses his air pressure cannon to blast Chopper outside into the seawater, Nami uses Kalifa's key to free Zoro and Usopp from their shackles. | ||||||||||||

Chimney and Gonbe appear outside the secret passage and lead him to Kokoro and the tunnel. Past the room where Luffy is fighting Lucci, Spandam uses Funkfreed to stop Robin's attempted escape and proceeds to drag her by her hair towards the Gates of Justice. In the last remaining fight in the Tower of Law, Zoro and Kaku exchange heavy blows while Jabra overwhelms Usopp and Nami and is about to kill the former.

Meanwhile, Sanji starts exchanging blows with Jabra, who sends him flying into the hallway. Continuing their fight there, Jabra attempts to trick Sanji into lowering his guard by offering him his key with a made-up story of being Robin's long-lost brother. Sanji sees through the trick and kicks Jabra but before getting the key he gets overwhelmed by Jabra going all out by revealing he is the only CP9 operative who can move after using the Iron Body skill. Sanji responds by making his foot red hot, unveiling his newest technique: Diable Jambe, whose intense heat bypasses Jabra's defenses and leads to his defeat in a fierce mid-air final clash. | ||||||||||||

Reminded of himself when he was younger and tried to stop the sea train from carrying away his mentor, Franky agrees as Luffy attempts to ensure the cyborg's escape by restraining Lucci to no avail. At the same time, in the Tower of Law, Kaku shows Zoro the many tricks he can perform with his new Giraffe body that he got with his devil fruit powers, discovering new techniques in the process.

Both swordsmen decide to finish the fight, with Zoro the victor as he unveils his new sword-style: Demon Aura Nine-Sword Style Asura. After giving Kaku the message from Paulie that he and the other CP9 agents are fired, Zoro takes the Number Five key as Sanji arrives. Meanwhile, as a fearful Robin makes a final attempt to keep herself from dragged across the Bridge of Hesitation by biting into the bridge's rim, Luffy attempts to hold Lucci long enough for Franky to make his way towards Robin. Luffy activates Second Gear while Lucci takes on his Man-Beast form. Despite this, Luffy is able to give Franky the opening needed to escape as he and the CP9 agent face each other. | ||||||||||||

| After the Gates of Justice has completely opened, having managed to loosen Robin's tooth grip on the bridge's rim, Spandam ties a rope around her waist and drags her towards the marines awaiting them. In the process, Spandam proudly reveals to Robin that he is the son of Spandaine, the previous CP9 head who was responsible for the Buster Call at Ohara. This causes Robin to be utterly livid yet powerless as stream of tears runs down her cheeks as all seems hopeless after Franky was seemingly taken out by a mine Spandam placed at the entrance to the Bridge of Hesitation. But at the last second, an explosive projectile hits the back of Spandam's head. A stream of projectiles falls on the marines gathered around him. The culprit is revealed to be Usopp, standing atop Tower of Law far from the marines' firing range. Robin attempts to run towards the other side the bridge before Franky saves her from being shot by the marines. After receiving the keys by Usopp, Franky frees Robin from the sea stone handcuffs, where she proceeds to vent her rage out on Spandam by slapping him repeatedly with her powers. As Usopp leaves to regroup with the others, he hears something before an explosion occurs. | ||||||||||||

Spandam has all men attempt to subdue the two by any means which fails comically. Meanwhile, Lucci figures out the double-edged nature of Luffy's Second Gear as he tells the youth that the Buster Call is about to begin. Anticipating that the other Straw Hats would take the underground passage, Lucci tears a hole into a wall of the underwater chamber to flood the passageway.

Unfortunately, one of the town's children is sick and cannot attend. Luffy tries to think of a way to show him the tree in its bloom, but does not come up with a solution. When the tree disappears the next day, Luffy becomes the prime suspect. Robin investigates. The truth is that Buggy and his men stole the tree and brought it aboard the ship of Foxy the Silver Fox. She tips off Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji about the tree's location, who go there to retrieve it. | ||||||||||||

| The Buster Call ships have reached Enies Lobby, passing the Bridge of Hesitation to spare Robin as they still want to capture her. Robin is traumatized by the onslaught as she is forced to witness the destruction for a second time in her life. At the same time, as Zoro and Sanji carry a wounded Usopp through the underground passage, Nami, Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe are ahead of them before they are forced to turn back as a consequence of the flooding caused by Lucci. Luffy and Lucci take their fight to the next floor above the sea level to resume their fight with the latter having the greater advantage after Luffy's Second Gear ended. Though Lucci offers Luffy a chance to run away and save his friends, the pirate knows not to trust the CP9 agent as he reveals his other trump card: Third Gear. Luffy blows air into his arm to have it grow before using it to hit Lucci as the Buster Call ships witness a giant fist punching out of the pillar. | ||||||||||||

| After Rob Lucci is knocked onto his ship by Luffy's enlarged fist, Vice Admiral Doberman orders his men to stand down when they failed to recognize the CP9 Agent. Doberman proceeds to reveal to his men that fifteen years ago, a 13-year-old Rob Lucci is sent as an emissary of the world government to help a country at war with pirates. Prior to his arrival, five hundred of the country's soldiers were taken hostage with the pirates' captain using them to take the king's throne. Allowing himself to be captured, Lucci murdered all five hundred hostages before executing the pirate's captain to resolve the matter. Though Doberman's crew were shocked by Lucci's actions, the Vice Admiral voices that is the reason why he is not taking actions in securing Robin as Lucci is suitable for the task. By that time, Luffy makes it to Doberman's ship and proceeds to fight Lucci as Vice Admiral Onigumo orders the ships to redirect their cannons to the gradually damaged vessel. In the underwater passageway, Zoro, Sanji and Usopp catch up to Nami and the others. The water flooding the passage behind them washes them back down the tunnel. | ||||||||||||

| After fighting Lucci in Third Gear for a minute, barely escaping cannon fire in time, Luffy is left to cope with the technique's side effect of his body shrinking to a fraction of its original size for around the same time. Luffy attempts to hide from Lucci to no avail as Lucci finds and pins him into the wall and prepares to kill him. Luckily, the damage from Luffy's initial punch while in Third Gear takes its toll on Lucci's legs with the agent stopping in his tracks as Luffy regains his usual size. At the other end of the Bridge of Hesitation, Spandam makes an attempt on Robin's life with Funkfreed, only for Franky to stop the blade and force him to assume his elephant form. After explaining his reasons to support the Straw Hats, Franky crushes Spandam under Funkfreed's weight before he and Robin, who has managed to regain her composure, decide to take the escort ship. Meanwhile, having reached the entry point of Enies Lobby, the Galley-La foremen, the Franky Family, Yokozuna and the giants are forced to watch the fleeing marines allowed onto three of the Buster Call's battleships that soon drift out into position. In the underground passage, the drowning group of Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Chimney, and Gonbe are about to lose hope when they are saved by a mermaid: revealed to be Kokoro, to everyone's exasperated shock. | ||||||||||||

| Franky and Robin finish throwing the last remaining marines off of their commandeered convoy ship when Kokoro, in mermaid form, jumps aboard with the rest of the Straw Hats, Chimney, and Gonbe, managing to survive their brush with a watery grave due to the shock of their rescuer's appearance. Kokoro explains that mermaids like her are able to walk on land after thirty years' time before everyone is happy to see Robin. The joyous reunion does not last long as Zoro, Usopp, and Franky see the inferno that was Enies Lobby. Zoro notes that they should remain in case the navy focuses on them while waiting for Luffy. As Sanji joins the group, one of the ships announces that the Straw Hats' accomplices has been wiped out along with the main gate. This breaks Franky's heart to hear his gang have been slaughtered as he yells for Luffy that he better not get himself killed. As the fleet turns its attention toward the Bridge of Hesitation, having managed to wound Lucci in the legs, Luffy decides to finish the fight in Second Gear form. | ||||||||||||

| The fight between Luffy and Lucci reaches its climax as the CP9 assassin makes use of his most powerful technique: the Six King Pistol. The Bridge of Hesitation is surrounded by battleships that use their cannon fire to sever the bridge's first pillar, where Luffy is fighting, from the rest. Having cut off the Straw Hats' captain's retreat, the marines send their two hundred captains and commanders to recapture Robin while killing off the Straw Hats. During the fight, with Chopper still unable to move and Sanji nowhere to be seen, Robin joins her friends in fighting the Marine's strongest fighters.

Usopp cries out to him, telling him to get back up. But when Luffy is unable to move, Usopp resorts to provoking Lucci to face him. Presuming Luffy to be defeated, Lucci decides to take Usopp's suggestion with the intention of slaughtering the entire Straw Hat crew before returning to finish Luffy off. But Luffy, spurred by Usopp's words, gets back to his feet with a promise not to fall again until he wins. Luffy then engages Lucci in a final fist fight. Though Lucci hits him with his Six Kings Gun, Luffy manages to stay on his feet to Lucci's disbelief.

The Straw Hats are not so fortunate as the Marine admirals' forces renew their attack as their battleships destroy the stolen convoy ship. Sanji reappears to save Chopper, Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe. The Buster Call ships then destroy what remained of the Bridge of Hesitation to force the pirates onto the middle pillar before redirecting fire at the pillar where Luffy is to blast him to bits while he is unable to move. Things seem hopeless until Usopp once more hears a voice calling out for him and the rest of the Straw Hats to jump into the ocean. Despite many thinking Usopp had gone mad, the others start to hear it too with Robin using her Devil Fruit powers to toss Luffy out of the pillar as everything jumps to the source of the mysterious voice: the Going Merry. | ||||||||||||

Though the battleships have already taken aim at the tiny ship that has snuck in between them at a near point-blank range, it turned out Sanji had snuck away to the control room for the Gates of Justice and closed it to restore the whirlpools. This results in the battleships' aim and manoeuvrability being severely hindered. The Straw Hats go on the defensive while Nami plans their escape route.
