After Skypiea, the Going Merry crashes into the Marine base G-8, trapping the crew inside enemy territory.

Robin’s observation becomes key because she notices patterns sooner and tries to hold the crew together. The Straw Hats chase the source of the memory theft and confront the hypnotic power behind it before they become strangers forever. Once the cause is stopped, their memories return and the crew’s bond is restored, leaving them shaken but intact.

The Straw Hats reach Zou on the back of the giant elephant Zunesha and find the Mink Tribe devastated after Jack attacked demanding Raizo’s location. Even under torture and poison gas, the minks refused to betray him, and the reveal that “Raizo is safe” proves their sacrifice was intentional. The crew helps the injured and earns trust quickly.

The arc drops major direction through Road Poneglyphs and the path to Laugh Tale, making the endgame map feel real. Sanji’s situation becomes urgent when it is revealed he left under pressure tied to Big Mom’s forces. The arc ends with the crew splitting, one team heading to retrieve Sanji and the other preparing for Wano.

Ep 780-782Ep-780, 781, 782Total: 3 Episodes, 0 Chapters

On the way toward Whole Cake Island, the team runs out of food and infiltrates a Marine base in disguise to steal supplies without losing time. The mission becomes stealth mixed with comedy because one mistake triggers a base-wide chase. Nami keeps the plan from collapsing while Luffy struggles to stay calm around enemies.

They meet Captain Grount, an ambitious rookie who pushes his men aggressively and adds more pressure. Once the disguise is exposed, fights break out, and the Straw Hats escape with the supplies they need. The arc ends quickly, acting as a small survival detour without changing the main story.

ChaptersEpisodesFillersTotal
Ch 825-902Ep 783-877Ep-789, 803, 807Total: 95 Episodes, 78 Chapters

Luffy enters Big Mom’s territory to retrieve Sanji, but Sanji is trapped in an arranged marriage to secure a political alliance with Charlotte Pudding. Big Mom’s land is filled with surveillance and soul-made homies, while Sanji’s family trauma and threats to loved ones force him to push Luffy away. Luffy refuses to abandon him, turning it into a stubborn rescue.

The plan evolves into a wedding-time ambush and escape attempt, but betrayals and shifting loyalties make everything unstable, including Pudding’s changing nature. Luffy’s long fight with Katakuri becomes a major growth test. The arc ends with a desperate escape where allies like Bege, the Sun Pirates, and Germa 66 are key, and Big Mom’s rage becomes a pursuing storm.

The Levely shifts the story to Mary Geoise, where world leaders gather and the wider world reacts to New World chaos. Kings and queens from past arcs return, tying older stories to global decisions. The arc highlights Celestial Dragons, slavery, and the way even respected leaders are forced to tolerate evil.

Shirahoshi’s presence creates major tension because of how the World Nobles treat her. The Revolutionary Army infiltrates with Sabo and commanders to rescue Kuma and strike at the system. Hidden authority figures and secret meetings shape decisions in the background. By the end, shocking news spreads across the seas about major incidents tied to the Levely, pushing the world toward open conflict and setting up the Final Saga.

Wano is an isolated nation crushed under Kaido and Orochi, where starvation, pollution, and punishment define daily life. The Straw Hats enter and split across regions to build alliances with samurai and rebels while staying hidden. Luffy is captured and sent to Udon prison, where he trains, fights, and turns prisoners into allies.

The arc reveals Kozuki Oden’s tragedy and why Wano’s hope survived for decades. The story builds to the Raid on Onigashima, where the alliance attacks during a festival and Big Mom turns it into a two-Yonko war. Battles spread across the island as key fighters face commanders and the Tobiroppo, while Luffy clashes with Kaido again and again. The peak arrives with Luffy’s awakening and final clash, while other forces take down Big Mom and the regime collapses. After victory, Wano begins rebuilding and the world reacts to the power shift.

31.1 Cidre Guild Arc (Filler)

ChaptersEpisodesFillersTotal
Ep 895-896Ep-895, 896Total: 2 Episodes, 0 Chapters

During the Wano-era timeline, the anime detours into a short tie-in where Luffy runs into the bounty-hunting Cidre Guild while trying to buy cola. The guild hunts pirates for profit and treats Luffy’s value as a prize, pulling him into a quick street-level fight outside Wano’s main battlefield. Boa Hancock appears, creating a rare team-up feel and raising the intimidation level instantly.

The arc focuses on flashy action and quick stakes rather than deeper lore. Luffy defeats the hunters, civilians and allies are protected, and the story returns to the main flow with nothing major changed.

31.2 Uta’s Past Arc (Filler)

ChaptersEpisodesFillersTotal
Ep 1029-1030Ep-1029, 1030Total: 2 Episodes, 0 Chapters

This short arc uses flashbacks around Foosha Village to show young Luffy’s connection to Uta, a girl closely tied to Shanks. It shows Luffy meeting Uta, building friendship, and being pulled into small conflicts that reveal how the Red Hair Pirates operated. Music and freedom themes are used to shape Uta’s identity in the pirate world and explain why her presence matters later.

In the present timeline, the detour pauses the Wano-era momentum to deliver backstory rather than move the war forward. The arc ends by returning to the present after establishing Uta’s bond with Luffy and Shanks.

ChaptersEpisodesFillersTotal
Ch 1058-1125Ep 1086-1155NoneTotal: 70 Episodes, 68 Chapters

After Wano’s aftermath, the Straw Hats reach Egghead, a futuristic island run by Dr. Vegapunk. What starts as a tech wonder quickly becomes a siege when CP0 is sent to assassinate Vegapunk, turning the island into a trap. Vegapunk’s satellites complicate trust, and the crew must figure out who is ally and who is lying while defenses and Seraphim threats escalate.

Jewelry Bonney becomes central as she demands answers about Kuma and blames Vegapunk, pulling a personal revenge thread into the larger conflict. Kuma’s past and Government projects become the emotional spine as Marines surround Egghead and the incident shocks the world. Vegapunk’s broadcast spreads forbidden information worldwide, leaving global consequences unfolding as the Straw Hats escape.

33. Elbaf / Elbaph Arc

Ch 1126-Ep 1156-NoneTotal: Ongoing Episodes, Ongoing Chapters

After escaping Egghead, the Straw Hats travel to Elbaf and the arc immediately connects early-series seeds to endgame stakes. Elbaf is shaped by giant warrior culture, pride, and ties to old world secrets, so it is not a safe stop. Robin reunites with Jaguar D. Saul, bringing Ohara’s legacy back to the front, while Luffy meets Loki, Elbaf’s imprisoned and disgraced prince, pulling the crew into internal giant politics.

Outside the island, the world is still shaking from Vegapunk’s announcement and big pirate forces are moving, so Elbaf becomes strategic. The Knights of God begin mobilizing with interest in taking Elbaf under World Government control, turning the arc into a clash of alliances, hostages, and power plays. Since it is ongoing, the plot continues unfolding in real time.
