overall themes of each arc to let you guys know what chapters cover each arc and to let you know when we're entering a new saga without further ado let's get right into the recap of the entirety of one piece so our journey starts off in the romance dawn arc which covers chapters 1 to 7. the themes in this arc are respect versus fear the resolve to live for your dreams and also deceiving appearances the story starts with chapter 1 where we have a younger version of luffy this is pretty much the prologue to the story at which we learn how luffy decided to become a pirate the story starts off with luffy and the bar with the red-haired pirates led by their captain shanks not too much is going on very early on just a lot of them picking on luffy and a lot of joking until a bandit comes into the bar the bandit is very upset because there isn't any drinks for him and his men so shanks decides to offer the bandit his at this point the bandit is so upset and feels like shanks is disrespecting him and because of this he spills his drinks all over shanks but of course shanks doesn't do anything he just sits there and when the bandit leaves all of his men laugh about it but luffy is very very upset saying that shanks is a despicable person and that he is a laughing stock of pirates shanks then explains something very important to luffy about why unnecessary killing is not something you need to always do and that when he got ordered he'd understand better after shanks explains this to luffy and before luffy makes his next move outside of the bar he ends up finding a fruit on the table and because luffy is hungry he eats this fruit now this is where we first learn of devil fruit and because luffy took a big chunk out of this fruit he actually gets the power of rubber his body becomes rubber after he eats the gomugumu fruit the entirety of the pirate crew that is there with shanks freaks out after luffy does this and they explain to him that now he will not be able to swim anymore after this luffy's still upset about what happened earlier with the bandit decides to go approach him and because he is completely outmatched due to just the stature difference in him being younger against the older and more dangerous adversary he ends up in trouble and with shanks has to intervene this is when lucky roo catches the first body in one piece after this though luffy ends up getting in more trouble as he's about to get chomped up by a sea king once again shanks intervenes saving him sacrificing his arm and ushering in the new age of pirates as he sacrificed his arm for luffy and also gave his straw hat to him as well in chapter 2 we start off with luffy actually at an older age at this time a whirlpool comes out of nowhere when luffy's about to set sail and he ends up getting washed up but he finds a pirate ship in which he ends up getting himself into a barrel at this point we meet kobe a very small child who doesn't seem to be too courageous and we meet one of our first antagonists in the story alvida alveda is picking on and beating up on kobe but kobe seems to be used to this and just walks off pushing a barrel away for alvida at this time luffy comes out of the barrel surprising everyone beating up some pirates in his wake and then he escapes with kobe from the ship at this time in the story kobe and luffy start to have a discussion and which luffy explains to kobe his dream of being the king of the pirates and then kobe shares with him his dream of joining the navy at this time alvida shows back up and she tries to hit luffy but because of his fruits it doesn't do anything doesn't hurt him at all because blend attacks do not work on rubber luffy then bodies alvida and him and kobe set sail to a marine base as i said they're setting sail for marine base so kobe can join the marines and luffy wants to recruit zorro to his crew they discover the town is feared by a marine captain who rules with an iron fist named axe hand morgan's luffy and kovi arrive at a town where zoro was imprisoned and see a little girl bringing him food we also see the son of morgan telmepo who's a spoiled brat and not a good person and who does as he pleases around the town because people are afraid of his father luffy speaks with zoro about joining his crew and here we see zoro stating that he has the resolve to not die because he also has a dream that he wants to accomplish this is to be the world's strongest swordsman luffy later learns that zora was arrested for saving the girl from hellmappo's wolf luffy also hears how maple lied about his promise to free zorro and instead decided to kill him luffy punches helmepo and decides he wants zorro to join luffy goes to get zorro soars at this point we get zorro's flashback which is a very quick flashback involving him and his partner kawina and kawina trained together and they always had a lot of duels together because both of them had the same dream to become the world's strongest swordsman at some point queenie explains to zoro that she cannot accomplish this dream because she is a woman and she just can't live up to the physicalities of men of course zero does not like this and gail's at kawina basically telling her that she can be the strongest swordsman they finally have a final duel in which they use real swords since or loses unfortunately kawina falls down some steps and she later dies in this flashback but zorro takes up her will and decides to live his dream not only for him but also for her and he takes her sword to wado ichimaji with him as well back in the current timeline zorro and luffy defeat morgan's kobe joins the marines and luffy and zoro set sail now we are moving on to the second arc in the story orangetown chapters 8-21 the theme for this arc is personal treasure we start off the arc with luffy and zorro sailing to the next island during this luffy gets captured and taken away by a giant bird zorro then chases after the bird but stumbles on some random pirates that tried to mug him for his ship they of course fail at this and zorro uses them to paddle the boat the pirates mentioned that their last ship was taken from them by a girl named nami who gets introduced later in the art we see in the present time at orangetown where luffy has arrived he meets nami who steals a treasure map from a pirate named buggy the clown the two then go on to have a conversation in an abandoned home at orangetown during this conversation luffy brings up how he got his straw hat and how it is his treasure nami also brings up how much she hates pirates but loves money and tangerines she also mentions that there's a certain village that she wants to buy after this nami tricks luffy and brings him to buggy claiming he is the thief who stole his map buggy then tells nami to kill luffy if she wants him to join his crew nami of course refuses to do this and is then saved by zoro who just now arrives at this point we find out buggy has a chop-chop devil fruit after being attacked by zorro and realizing that slash attacks won't work they escape and meet the village chief and a dog named shushu who throughout the ark is guarding this pet food store for the owner who passed away the pet store is a dog's personal treasure which is also one of the themes mentioned in this arc nami discovers luffy isn't the average evil pirate at this point the mayor also says the town and its people are his treasure again recalling the theme that was mentioned earlier the group goes to confront the buggy pirates and this is where buggy says that treasure is golden jewels and anything else is meaningless luffy's group fights buggy's crew zorro defeats kabaji luffy starts fighting buggy and in this conversation he mentions his connections to shanks during this fight buggy damages the straw hat which angers luffy and he declares that that is his treasure buggy flashbacks then starts where we see his and shanks ideology on treasure and how he got his powers and also why he hates shanks luffy goes on to save nami and defeat bucky and the townspeople arrive and chase the group out of the town the mayor catches up and thanks them and nami joins the group now we go on to syrup village arc which covers chapters 22 to 41. the themes in this are the boy who cried wolf and the nature of lies and also real versus fake the trio arrives to syria village looking for a better ship to sell the grand line and it's also home to the newest addition to the crew usa the village liar his introduction starts with him running through the town screaming pirates have arrived which is a common prank he does to the villagers the group meets usopp and he takes them to a restaurant where he talks about kaya later the trio find out from the kids that usa regularly visits kaya to tell her stories full of lies we then see the villain of the arc captain kiro posing as kai as butler refusing to let her see usopp because he would be a bad influence on her then there's a brief moment where we see usopp telling a story to kaya making her laugh hearing about all of this luffy comes to the conclusion that usop is a good guy they go to the mansion and hopes to find a boat but cairo shows up and insults usop's father yasab usa declares that he's proud of his father luffy and usop then talk about yosab and we get a brief flashback with isab and luffy during their conversation the two see carol and jango conspiring to kill kaya luffy gets hypnotized and passes out while usa runs the village to warn everyone but unfortunately no one believes him due to his reputation for always lying and then he's chased out of town usa then runs takaya's mansion to warn her about kiro's plans but she also doesn't believe usa because cairo has deceived her into thinking he's an honest man kaiya still refuses to believe usopp saying she loved his lies but won't tolerate a lie that harms others and he is shot at by her butler and chased away by the villagers usab later runs into luffy and the kids where he tells them he lied about kiro to get back at him for badmouthing his father the kids have the same reaction as kaya where they're upset that usop is using a lie to hurt someone else in this moment usop used the lie to keep them from getting involved later usa speaks with the others and comes to the conclusion that it's been his years of lying that the villagers don't believe him now but despite this he is determined to create a real tale and protect the village from the pirates who will be arriving soon luffy's group then agrees to help him it is at this point in the arc where kuro begins to show his true colors by attacking kaia's other butler mary over the course of the night usab's group makes preparations for the pirates who have just arrived but they realize that they set up on the opposite side of the island usopp and nami reached the other side in time while luffy got lost along the way and zoro falls into the trap they set because of nami during their fight with the pirates usa takes a blow to the head but doesn't stop fighting because he wants the village to believe that he lied so that they don't have to worry about the pirates luffy and zoro arrive when things start to look bad kaya later discovers the truth about kuro from her butler mary and they realized usop was telling the truth the whole time the kids figured this out as well kaya then arrives to the battle and kuro reveals his plan the kids also protect haya from jango while luffy fights kuro it is then here we get the kuro's flashback which also has an appearance from axe hand morgan's here we see kuro is tired of the life as a pirate and goes on to fake his death so that he can have the easy life without having to worry about constantly being chased by the marines back in the present time curl and his men are defeated usa tells kaya and the kids to keep it all a secret and to lie about the incident the next morning the villagers are surprised to not hear from usa later usopp disbands the usa pirates and has decided to set sail luffy's group then receives a brand new ship the going mary from kaia and has usopp joined the crew as their newest member as the crew set sail from the island we then learn from kaya's butler mary about the origin of why usa began his pirate lies this was due to a deep desire that usab hoped that one day his dad would return for him and because of this situation with his parents he could relate to kaya's situation and wanted to help her which led to him telling her all of those stories that were full of lies to get her to laugh next we entered the barathea arc which covers chapters 42-68 themes in this is taking pride in what you love and your desires determination and ambition and then honorable versus dishonorable the group is sailing and luffy wants to test the ship's cannon which leads to them meeting johnny and yasuku the latter of which is suffering from scurvy this leads to the group seeking out a chef since they'll be on a long voyage yasuku mentions the barackie to the crew on where they can find a cook the crew has a brief encounter with marine lieutenant full body who attempts to sank the going mary but he fails and this results in luffy repelling the cannon into the baratier damaging the restaurant and injuring head chef zeth who tells luffy that he will work there for a year to repay for the damages we get the introduction of sanji who was working as the assistant chef he embarrassed his full body multiple times and then defeats him when he's trying to start trouble there's more commotion and we get the introduction of gin and the mention of the don creek pirates guinness kicked out of the restaurant but sanji feeds again and luffy decides he wants sanji as the ship's cook sanji and jeff get into an argument where sanji is determined to stay on the baratier to repay his debt to zeff despite him insulting sanji and telling him to leave two days later don krieg and his crew arrive but to everyone shocked the ship is in shambles sanji feeds a starving don creed who then right after that betrays him and plans to take over he attempts to feed his entire crew but is stopped by the other employees krieg mentions zep's history as a pirate and demands his left hand over his logbook about his travels on the grand line since he believes it will better prepare him for a second attempt zeph however refuses since the log book is his pride of him and there's men who traveled on the grand line together he still gives krieg food despite the complaints of his employees because he doesn't want them to go hungry like sanji after recovering krieg's crew begins to attack but are then attacked by mihawk who has had some early foreshadowing this arc jonny and yasuku were in the ocean and tell the others that nami has stolen the going mary ship mihawk arrives and it's mentioned that he is responsible for the situation cree and his crew are in and says he's only doing it to kill some time zorro goes to challenge mihawk where he is told by the latter that he is basically a big fish in a small pond since the east blue is the lamest or the weakest of the four seas zoro and mihawk fight and mihawk is impressed with zorro and lets him live and he tells him to hone his skills and to surpass him as the world's strongest swordsman then asks luffy about his goal and says it will be harder to achieve than zoro's everyone except luffy at this point gives chase tanami luffy and sanji fight krieg and his men zeph is captured leading to sanji getting injured from refusing to fight or leave because he blames himself for zeph losing his dreams and doesn't want him to lose anything else and this is where we get sanji's flashback sanji's flashback starts off with a nine-year-old sanji where he was on a ship full of cooks talking about the all blue the ocean at all chefs dream of that is home to various fish from each of the four seas while working on this ship something that would happen often is that the chefs would eat leftovers from the customers sanji did not agree with this and would always throw away the leftovers seeing that there was always plenty of food to eat regardless right after this we see the crew is attacked by a group of pirates led by red legs zeph they capture all the chefs on the crew and we notice that one of the pirates begins to steal food zeph of course does not tolerate this and punishes this pirate for doing such a thing saying that his number one rule is that they never lay a finger on their enemies food in a brief moment where sanji tries to stand up for himself against zelf a huge storm is underway and a big wave comes onto the ship and knocks sanji off of the boat zeph immediately reacts to this and saves sanji but at the cost of the two being shipwrecked and abandoned on a random rock in the middle of the ocean the two split their food rations and zeph goes to the other side of the rock telling sanji not to come over until he sees a ship it is then here where we get the infamous moment where zeph removes his leg we also find out that the two have been on this rock for over 75 days at this point sanji is nearly out of food with only one moldy piece of bread sanji then begins to reflect on his old crew as they ate the leftovers and this is where sanji gets the ideology of never wasting food starving and out of options sanji decides to attack zeph in order to get his ration of food believing that he still has food to share however once sanji cuts open zev's bag it is not food that he finds but just a lot of gold it is then here that sanji realizes zev gave sanji all of the food to begin with and never had any to share not only did we find out that zev gave sanji all of the food but the moment when he removed his leg that was the food that he used over the course of those 75 days sanji is begging to him asking him why did he do all of this and zev tells him it is because they shared the same dream of one day finding the all blue finally on the 85th day of being stranded a ship finally finds the two and then we fade back into the present luffy and sanji defeat krieg and his crew gen then takes krieg and leaves with the others and at the end of the arc zephanie others devise a plan to get sanji to go with luffy sanji then leaves with luffy and yosuku who has returned and sanji as they depart bows to zeff and thanks him and the crew leave now we move on to our long park which covers chapter 69 to 95. themes in this are elitism trust greed and corruption of money the arc starts with luffy sanji and yasuku heading towards arlong park in this conversation yasuku mentions the fishman pirates and their leader jinbe he also mentions the seven warlord system and that mihawk has a connection to it and that jinbei was responsible for letting arlong loose in the east blue we cut to online park and see arlong himself dealing with a shady marine officer called nezumi nami stops a kid from getting himself killed by trying to challenge arlong we then see that nami was revealed to be a member of the arlong pirates the

about the superiority of the fishman race at this point zoro leaves arlon's headquarters nami goes to bellamire's grave and mentions this is the island that she spoke about wanting to buy usopp saves the mayor but is captured by arlong then his death is faked by nami the rest of the group meet nojiko after a brief encounter with nami this is where nami's flashback happens we start the flashback off with nami who was caught by the village mayor for stealing a book from the town bookstore as nami explains it is because her family is poor she's then brought to her home where we see nami's adoptive mother bellemire here we see nami has had her dream of wanting to make a map of the world ever since she was a kid nami's family was very poor growing up so this led to them never having much food for all three of them to eat as well as nami receiving her clothes from her older sister notrego growing up which is something she always hated nami and nochigo then have an argument about this as nami says it doesn't matter because they aren't real siblings to begin with hearing this upsets bill amir causing her and nami to then get into an argument then nami runs away and bailomer who regrets the argument tells nojiko to bring nami home nami goes to the town mayor and here we learn about the day belmer took the two girls in and about how nami learns that family is more important than being blood related nochiko soon arrives to bring nami home but immediately after this the arlong pirates arrive to the village for the very first time and claim the island under their control after checking how many people live in the town they begin to leave but then see smoke coming from bellmere's home and then make their way there next they arrive at the home where bellamir takes arlon by surprise and pans him down this doesn't last long of course as arlong soon takes advantage of the situation as nami and nojiko arrive to see their mother in trouble the fishman discovered that more than one person is staying at the home and the mayor tries to cover for this but belmer tells him the truth and admits that she will not be paying the tax that aulong has placed on the citizens velmer

fight the pirates and save nami only to be shocked by the news that she has decided to join the fishman to make money the flashback ends with the two sisters talking in front of belmer's grave where nami tells nojigo that she'll fight this battle alone in order to buy back the island back in the current timeline the marines arrive at nami's home to take the treasure she's been gathering and the money she's collected over the last eight years she discovers it was arlong who tipped them off nami confronts arlong to find out he has gone back on their deal making all of her sacrifices and

encountered a well known as laboon and gets swallowed by him with the exception of luffy they stumble onto a house inside of the well owned by a man named crocus who tells the crew that laboon is smashing his head against the red line we then get the introduction of two characters named miss wednesday in mr nine who attempt to kill laboon later crocus talks about laboon's past and how he's been waiting for his friends over the last 50 years and his reason for hitting his head against the red line which is the cause for the scars on laboon's head after hearing this luffy challenges laboon they come to a tie and he tells the whale that they'll meet again to settle the score which makes laboon happy crocus gives nami a log pose and explains how to use it and how traveling on the

whiskey peak which covers chapters 106 to 114 the crew arrived to whiskey peak which is an island full of people who initially come off as friendly to the crew serving them food and drinks but they

it to be cherry blossoms one year later after fully recovering chopper is then kicked out of their home by heroluk later we see this was a part of herlock's plan to bring the cherry blossoms to the winter island for chopper to see before he dies of an illness without him knowing a chopper secretly searched for an ingredient needed to help so that he can live overcoming obstacles along the way after taking the medicine made by chopper heroluck leaves to beg correa to teach chapter to be a doctor since he doesn't have long to live he reluct then heads for waffle's castle when we find out

arrived several days prior telling a citizen to pass on a message to luffy about meeting him in alabasta and carrera comments that the will of d is still alive now we have arrived at the culmination of everything since the reverse mountain art alabaster chapters 155-207 the themes of this arc are friendship and sacrifice as the final antagonist of this arc is crocodile who is originally believed to be the hero by the citizens of alabasta when really he has been the one pulling the strings leading the country to having an oncoming civil war before arriving to alabasta the crew briefly encountered bon clay aka mr two of baroque works who has the powers of the copy copy fruit turning into each of the straw hats as well as the king of alabasta vivi's father bon clay then leaves saying the time they spent together has no bearing on true friendship one of the core themes of this arc as well as the entire saga as he departs the crew realizes that he is mr two of baroque works noticing mr two's abilities compose a threat in the future the group decides to come up with a plan for this by wrapping bandages around each of their left arms which we later find out is an x-shaped mark meant to be the mark of their friendship again one of the core themes of alabasta they do this so that they are not fooled by his powers in the future after the group docks on alabasta they begin to make their way across the island they soon encounter smoker who has arrived to capture luffy they also meet luffy's older brother porgus d ace who saves the crew from the marines in the middle of all this we also get the first mention of the white beard pirates after escaping the straw hats meet ace who then asks them to join the whitebeard pirates but of course luffy refuses this which ace had already expected he then tells them he came to alabasta in search of blackbeard then gives luffy a piece of paper that says it will reunite them in the future and then he leaves the crew makes their way to the city of dreams the rain base where crocodile is located after arriving in the city they are all soon captured in the basement of the casino along with a smoker who chased after the crew not long after the crew are soon rescued by sanchi who defeats all of the crocodile pets after escaping their cell smoker lets the straw hats go as a way to return their favor for saving him the crew then

sunny and soon stumble onto a barrel in the ocean they bring the barrel on board and are curious about what's inside so they decide to open it much to their confusion of red flare shoots out of this barrel but they don't have much time to think about this because nami says a storm will be reaching them soon they escape the storm but find they are surrounded by some fog and realize that they have entered the florian triangle a place shrouded in mystery and where any ship that goes in will disappear here they stumble onto an old ghost ship and they meet a talking skeleton named brook we find out that brooke is a skeleton because he has eaten the yummy yomi no me a devil fruit that gives the user a second chance at life we also learn more about brooke's situation like why he's a skeleton why he's on the ship to begin with after a few brief gags luffy immediately asked brooke to join the crew burke unfortunately declines the offer he wishes he could join because as he says he's been alone for a long time so lonely and so scared that he wanted to die he says that the reason he can't join is because he needs to get his shadow back that was stolen from him by the main antagonist of this arc who we later find out to be gecko moria another warlord of the sea the reason brook needs his shadow back is because if he were to step out on the sunlight without it then he would turn into ash the crew soon discovers that they have sailed into a trap set for them due to the opening of the barrel previously mentioned and they arrive on the ghost island thriller bark thriller bark is an island that wanders the sea brook sees this as a chance to reclaim his shadow and head towards the island by running into water he can do this because he is very light due to being a skeleton luffy who wants brook to join decides the crew will embark into thriller bar to help him as well as adventure the island the first group who travels to ireland is nami ustop and chopper who get into some trouble with zombies along the way and they meet a man by the name of dr hogbeck a genius surgeon who chopper had high respect for until discovering what he had been doing with his research meanwhile the remaining straw hats now land on the island and discover morya is responsible for everything that is going on so luffy being luffy of course decides that he will beat up morya and take brook's shadow back so that he can get him to join their crew while traversing through the castle the monster trio of luffy zorro and sanji including robin actually get their shadows captured by moria and in the middle of all of this nami is kidnapped by one of morya's subordinates absalom who plans to marry nami and make her his wife going back to luffy he has a shadow put into a corpse of an ancient giant named oars we find out this is a part of gekko maurya's plans to take on one of the four emperors of the sea kaido who he had a brief encounter with in the past at some point later into the arc brook returns and we find out the weakness to maria zombies assault we also learned from brook that he was a part of the crew that promised to return to la boone one day but never got to fulfill that promise after returning to the sunny luffy hears this story from frankie and robin and after hearing about brooke's connection to lebron luffy is even more determined to make brook a member of their

with moria's top generals we have usab who battles perona and wins we have zorro who goes on to save brook from one of maurya's zombies ryuma a corpse of a samurai from the land of wano brook defeats ryuma and gains a new sword named sishui and then we have sanji vs absalom in the attempt to save nami throughout this arc we learned that morya is a very lazy individual who will rather take the easy route to things and that he has an army of zombies because something happened to him in the past that involved him losing his crew after a confrontation with the yonko of the sea kaido the straw hats minus luffy all gather together to fight against oars who has luffy's shadow and actually his personality luffy later arrives and defeats morya returning everyone's lost shadows just before the sun rises however before things can begin to calm down kuma another warlord of the sea then reveals himself and defeats everyone the last person who is left standing is zorro kuma and zoro make a deal that will save luffy's life and then we get the infamous nothing happen moment from zorro at the end of the arc we learned that moria escapes and we learned that ace luffy's brother has been incarcerated in a prison called impel down after losing his fight against blackbeard in chapters 487 to 488 we get to see brooke's flashback that shows his history with laboon all the way up to him on the ghost ship in the florian triangle back to the present the crew then rest and celebrate their victory brook joins the crew the straw hats are then given a viva card by lola saying it will guide them to her mother who also happens to be a pirate and then if things couldn't get more interesting with the beaver cards lola also notices that the fever card luffy received from ace is burning and that it means a bad sign however luffy doesn't think much of this because he believes ace can handle himself and wouldn't want his little brother to come and save him and with this the crew moves on from thriller bark and then we go into the next saga next up we enter the summit war saga themes in this saga are family bonds what it means to be a family and also what it means to have love for your

scene when they enter the war luffy then meets whitebeard and to everyone's shot they are surprised at the way luffy is speaking to this legend as if he doesn't care who this guy is but of course he doesn't that is luffy at some point whitebeard begins to respect luffy and sees what he is capable of even going so far as to order his men to protect him deep into this war everyone then discovers

key and the two begin their escape as they escape whitebeard stays behind and orders the retreat of his crew saying that no ship will carry him into the new era while the white bear pirates are escaping akainu talks badly about whitebeard ace doesn't like this which results in ace turning around and trying to confront akainu so that he takes back what he said about whitebeard during this moment luffy gets distracted and loses his beaver card and tries to retrieve it not paying attention akainu is about to kill luffy taking advantage of this moment however before kainu has a chance to reach luffy ace steps in the way and takes the hit for luffy which results in his death a shares his final words with luffy and dies with a smile on his face something that we know each of the d-clan

on to have a moment where doflamingo briefly classes with sanji eventually sanji and half of the crew leave with momonosuke and caesar and head for the island of zou at luffy's command usa frankie and robin meet the tantas frankie heads to the factory usopp and robin infiltrate the underground poor to defeat sugar after some trouble usopp succeeds in saving everyone including members from the tournament who all choose to aid luffy's group as thanks for being saved and wanting revenge on flamingo at some point dolflamengo activates the birdcage dolflemeggo then starts a bounty game to capture several individuals who have hindered his plans sabo and fujitore clash luffy's group takes on dolflamingo's generals clearing a path for luffy to get to the top of the plateau and fight dolflamingo we find out from law that his real plan was to always take down dolflamingo we learned the reason for this is because of a shared history between law and flamingo that's shown in their backstory cover in chapter 761-767 it should also be mentioned that prior to the start of this backstory between the two we learned from dolflamingo that lost devil fruit the opo pino me has the potential to perform what is known as the immortality surgery this grants the subject immortality at the cost of the surgeon's life we then begin to learn more of law's backstory in this arc and his relationship with dolflamingo and how he came to get his fruit law is a child contracting an illness known as amber lead syndrome as well as many citizens of the country he lived in the world government solution to this was to commit an active genocide on the country but law managed to escape and one day found himself trying to join the don quixote family led by dolflamingo and soon developed a strong relationship with dolfamingo's brother rosanante one day rosanante heard that law's name was a member of the decline after discovering this he took law and left the crew knowing doflamingo would kill law if he made the discovery while away rosannate looks for any way to cure law's disease with no success until he discovers a trade is going to happen involving the opop fruit which law could use to cure his own illness the events that would transpire led to law eating the devil fruit but at the cost of rosanante's life who was killed by doflamingo when the latter discovered his brother was a secret marine agent since then law has vowed revenge for corazon at the same time we also get to take a look into dolfamingo's backstory and how his family were at one point celestial dragons who left the holy land to live amongst the common folk however ignorant of the common citizens hatred for celestial dragons doflamingo's life quickly took a turn for the worse with his family consistently being hunted his mother passing away from an illness and being tortured by the common people all of this driving doflamingo to the breaking point of activating his conquerors hockey and not long after killing his own father blaming him for everything that happened and eventually going on to become the man he is today luffy's group takes on all of doflamingo's top men heroes who was turned back to a human challenges diamante frankie vs senior pink zorro vs pika law and luffy then make it to the plateau and fight bellamy treble and doflamingo frankie suntatos and coliseum fighters and other factions work together to stop the birdcage aloofy was busy with bellamy law gets defeated by doflamingo but luffy saves law and fights doflamingo at some point revealing his new form gear fourth briefly overwhelming him but soon he runs out of hockey and is helpless luffy is rescued by civilians and other pirates to keep him away from doflamingo sabo saves luffy from burgess who shifted his focus from the mirror to instead stealing the gomu gomu luffy recovers goes back to gear fourth and defeats dolflamingo with a king kong gun fujitora issues a public apology to kang riku and exposes the world government's mistake for all to see this being an issue because other pirates came and fixed the world government's problem rather than the marines fixing it themselves sabo finishes his investigation visits luffy's group before departing and then there's a flashback of sabo regaining his memories this is also the debut of kaido who falls off a sky island onto the headquarter of kid's alliance the other half of the straw hats make it to zou law speaks with sengoku about the d clan luffy reunites rebecca with kiros clashes with fujitora escapes dressrosa and company and the straw hat grand fleet is formed and the rest of the crew head for zou now we are on to zou which covers chapters 802 to 824. the theme for this arc is loyalty an example would be minks being loyal to the kazuki sacrificing themselves for rhizo and sanji's loyalty to luffy after defeating doflamingo the crew make their way to zoe an island that is actually a giant moving elephant the first half who arrived discovered that the city on the island is in ruins and that the citizen minks are injured due to a previous visit by the beast pirates led by jack who came looking for rhizo sanji and company aid the citizens jack left because he heard of dolflamingo's defeat and went to capture him from the marines but he gets body by fujitora sengoku and suru sanji has caesar created cure for his weapon used on the minks to save the minks kapono rise and take sanji with him because he is to wed one of big mom's daughters bae shoots peckhams and takes sanji away luffy's group arrives and we find out that riza was safe the group is brought to rhizo's location and discovered the rogue potty glyph and they discovered that they need all four of the rope pony glyphs to find the island laughs tale where the one piece resides we learn from kinimon about their situation and that kaido was in wano and he begs luffy for help luffy refuses saying it needs to be momo who asked him since he is the face of the group momo begs luffy and luffy agrees nekomamushi says he will go and find marco to help jack returns and attacks the island but is defeated by zunisha who was ordered by momo to stop him luffy nami brook chopper carrot pedro and pekoms go to tattoo land to rescue sanji while the other straw hats make their way to wano after the brief stop that was the zoark we now move on to whole cake island chapters 825 to 902 the theme for this arc would be sacrifice an example for this for instance would be sanji sacrificing himself in order to save not only his crew but his adopted father zeph another example would be pedro who sacrifices himself so that the straw hats can get away katakuri who sacrifices his self-image of what people think of him to where he no longer cares and just wants to focus on his match with luffy upon arrival into tata land territory luffy's group encounters reiju and yonji sanji's older sister and younger brother reiju saves luffy by removing the poison from his body that he gets from eating a certain fish they soon part ways then luffy's crew arrive on cacao island where they soon meet pudding the woman who sanji is going to be married to pudding gives the crew a secret route to take to whole cake island and they use it and arrive to the seducing woods eventually encountering brule and cracker two of big mom's children one of which is one of her top generals during this carrot and chopper get thrown into the mirror dimension luffy and nami fight cracker and defeat him while peggums gets captured by capone and brook and pedro go to look for big mom's road poneglyph after an 11 hour fight luffy and nami defeat cracker which soon leads to big mom sending out her army to go and capture the duo at this time sanji is reunited with his family the vinsmokes who we discover that he actually really hates due to having a traumatic past not long after we discovered information about sanji's father vinsmoke judge and his ties to the great dr vega punk moving from this important reveal we go into a second sanji flashback showing us his true origins covered in chapters 840-841 here we learn that since they were children sanji and his siblings were genetically modified superhumans while sanji himself wasn't born with any of these supernatural traits we learned it's because of the actions of sanji's mother sora who took it upon herself to take poison in order to sabotage judge's plans for the children unfortunately being the only quote unquote normal one of the group this would lead to sanji being on the receiving end of constant bullying from his stronger siblings all with the exception of his older sister reiju who behind closed doors was actually very nice to sanji but never in front of the others because she didn't want the same treatment as him eventually judge would go on to fake sanji's death and have him be secretly locked away never to be seen again over time sanji's brothers would learn the truth and secretly torture him until one day his sister helps him escape and even judge discovering this allows sanji to leave not caring what would happen to him and even goes on to disown him after arriving in east blue reiju then helps sanji escape it is then we go back into the present time after learning even more about sanji's backstory back in the current time we see that jinbei arrives to whole cake island saving the island from big mom's hunger pains and tells big mom that he wishes to leave her crew during this luffy reunites with sanji only to be told that sanji is not coming back by sanji himself then a brief scuffle between the two occurs where pretty much it's a one-sided fight because luffy refuses to fight back against sanji after receiving constant kicks from sanji who keeps telling him that he won't return luffy declares to sanji that he is not going anywhere and won't even eat until sanji comes back to join the crew because in luffy's words he cannot become the pirate king without sanji after sanji and his family leave luffy and nami are then captured by the big mom pirates chopper and carrick are captured by brule and brook finds several pineal glyphs that belong to big mom one of which being the road poneglyph and then right after fights big mom herself but is soon captured after being defeated jimbei soon later arrives to luffy and nami's location and frees them after luffy escapes he returns to the spot he was at previously waiting for sanji the other group returned to the mirror world using it to go and save brook from big mom who reveals that he actually got the rubbing of all three of big mom's poneglyphs sanji discovers the truth about pudding and big mom's plan to kill him and the vinsmokes so that big mom can take control of germa's technology he returns to luffy feeds him and says that he wants to return but he can't yet due to zev being a hashtag as well as his family if sanji doesn't comply they decide to come up with a plan to crash the wedding with capone beige who wants to assassinate big mom the wedding begins this is also when we get the introduction of katakiri and the reveal of future sight and we also get the mention of mother caramel the straw hats crash the wedding jinbe announces he will be joining the future pirate king brook smashes his mother's caramel's picture and big mom goes into panic mode enter the big mom flashback which is chapters 866 to 868. here we see the history of how big mom came to be hated by the giants because she killed one of their leaders during one of her hunger pains then on her birthday without paying attention eats her foster mom mother caramel and the kids of the orphanage she later goes on to become a pirate the assassination fails and then everyone begins to retreat luffy has a very brief clash with big mom and then there's large explosions that happen and this destroys big mom's castle she goes into another hunger pain for wedding cake putting ash sanji to help make a new cake to save the citizen's own tonto land the crew make it to the sunny to find katakuri is waiting for them luffy and katakiri go to the mirror world and begin their fight while the rest of the straw hats continue their escape pedro sacrifices himself to allow the others to get away luffy continues to fight katakuri wanting to learn how to do future sight as well eventually katakiri's face is revealed him and luffy start round two and he gains katakuri's respect luffy activates snake man katakuri falls on his back and emits defeat allowing luffy to escape it is then here that we get this very brief moment after their fight where we learn of katakuri's very short backstory here we see that katakuri as a child was picked on a lot for how his mouth looked and would constantly get into fights because of this one day the people who kind of curry beat up injured his sister brulee as a way to get revenge on him since then katakuri would go on to seek revenge as well as cover up his mouth to become the quote-unquote perfect brother that his siblings will eventually go on to admire during the fight sanji and puddin finish the wedding cake and deliver it to big mom luffy is saved by pekoms and sanji the straw had escaped thanks to big mom pirates being delayed by germa and the sun pirates luffy tells jinbei to make sure he comes to wano at all cost sanji discovers he has his own raid suit now and big news morgan's reports the events of whole cake island leading to luffy being called the fifth emperor of the sea and increasing his bounty
