From the Sea, a Friend Arrives! The Straw Hats Share the Strongest Bond!.As everyone is in awe of Luffy defeating Rob Lucci, it revealed by Transponder Snail loudspeakers that the Franky Family and Galley-La foremen faked their deaths while having found a means of escape. The Straw Hats are not so fortunate as the Marine admirals' forces renew their attack as their battleships destroy the stolen convoy ship, Sanji reappearing to save Chopper, Kokoro, Chimeney, 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.
