"And I'm quite amazed that Mr. 3 is able to continuously make so much wax without any danger to his body." Momo said on that Friday afternoon.

As students trickled in for today's One Piece watching, Sero shrugged at Momo's thoughts. "I mean, their powers come from magical fruits. Maybe we shouldn't think too hard on it."

"But that wouldn't be suspenseful if there's no rules to these powers." Jiro sighed.

"And there are limitations, like the whole 'no swimming' thing for the Devil Fruits users." Denki pointed out.

"Smoker does seem indestructible though." Ochako pouted.

"Yeah, Luffy would still be in trouble if he ran into him again. Ribbit." Tsuyu agreed.

"Can anyone defeat him?" Toru wondered.

"A giant fan." Denki joked, earning a few chuckles.

"I guess it could be a person with a powerful wind quirk could defeat him, but it's not like Smoker is only his Devil Fruit." Izuku commented on. "He can still... 'turn it off,' and use weaponry and attacks."

The students hummed in thought at that.


Skipping episode 78's opening, recap, and title card, they were greeted with the Going Merry flying out of the Island Eater, and the Straw Hat's reaction to this.

The waves crashed onto the giants as their weapons shattered into the sea, sending their last goodbyes to the Straw Hats.

The two happily laughed as the narrator tells the audience their tale of how their attacks were stopped by a little girl asking who caught the biggest creature.

"Oh my god, it was a hunting contest." Jiro said in disbelief.

"So the mountains were actually dinosaur bones." Izuku looks fascinated by the fact. "No wonder they looked so off to me."

At the sound of the volcano going off, the giants decided to continue on their fight.

"Goodbye, Dorry and Broggy! You two were some of the manliest characters I've ever seen." Kirishima waved them goodbye, using a tissue to wipe away his tears.

Sailing away in the sea, Luffy and Usopp were happily talking and singing about giants, but Nami seemed to exhausted already, asking Vivi to watch the compass for her.

"You do seemed tired, Nami." Ochako worried.

"I mean, apparently, all that giant stuff happened in one day." Mineta shrugged. "Anyone would be exhausted after that."

"Or..." Iida trailed off, pursing his lips in thought. They really need to get Nami to a doctor.

Nami and Vivi were glad to be back on track to Alabasta, which leads to a memory of Igaram telling a younger Vivi that she's Alabasta's only hope and that she can't die no matter what.

Current Vivi tightened her grip on the Eternal Pose, determined to return to Alabasta alive.

I would say that he's being too hard on her, especially at a young age, but...Toshinori's eyes landed on Izuku's form, who carried a solemn expression.

Sanji told the princess to not push herself so much, presenting her some petit fours. I mean, she had him around.

Luffy, Usopp, and Karoo drooled at the sight of the sweets until Sanji yelled at them that their's are in the kitchen.

Nami managed to smile at the moment, but her vision blurred.

Iida nervously gulped as the students quietly murmured at Nami's situation.

Zoro was swinging his weights, chastising himself for not being able to cut the wax back there.

The girl let out surprised squeaks, blushing at the sight of Zoro's shirtless body.

A Mineta cursed Zoro to hell, Katsuki let out a low whistles. "Holy shit, those weights."

I hope they don't try to do that." Toshinori thought.

At Alabasta, Mr. 2's minion have told him that his ship, the Swanda, is ready to sail, though Bon Clay already knows that. He doesn't want to do this, trying to push the assessment on the minion, but they know they can't do it.

At the brief glimpses of Mr. 2, their reactions was mostly, "...What the fuck?"

"He's more powerful than Mr. 3?" Katsuki scowled as Mineta narrowed his eyes at the ballerina.

"I mean, looks can be deceiving." Izuku shrugged.

On the Going Merry, Vivi stared at the Eternal Pose until Nami asked for a break.

The navigator barely stood up, collapsing onto the ground.

"Nami!" Worried cries came out.

"I knew it." Iida's eyes turned to the floor.

Everyone came to Nami's side, and after the eyecatches, she was taken to bed as Sanji was worried, asking Vivi if Nami is alright.

As she placed a wet towel on Nami's forehead, she assumed that it must be the climate since that's one of the obstacles all sailors who enter the Grand Line run into. She can recount tales of tough pirates dying from this.

"Well, that could be that too." Iida doubted himself in the moment. "Vivi does know about the Grand Line more than any of them."

Vivi asked if there's anyone with any medical knowledge. Usopp and Luffy pointed to Nami.

There were a couple of snickers as Aizawa sighed, "Of course."

Luffy assumed that eating meat would make the sickness go away, which Sanji corrected that he can make some basic food meant for sick people but that's more 'nursing' territory. Besides, he normally puts 100 times more care for the girls' food than the guys. As a chef, he has no problem making a balanced meal, but he knows that there are different kinds of meals for sick people. He needs to know her symptoms.

Luffy just thought that he could eat all the food, but Sanji pointed out that she won't have the energy for that.

Seeing a couple of his students nod along to Sanji's explanation, Aizawa can't help but to think, Well, I guess it's important to gain that knowledge from somewhere. Just never expected it to be from here.

Vivi checked Nami's temperature, and saw that it was 40 degrees Celsius.

Students let out loud gawks at the news.

"40!?" Iida shouted in horror.

"Just a few more degrees and she'll be dead!" Momo gripped onto the couch cushions tightly.

Usopp hoped there would be doctors at Alabasta, and while she isn't too certain, Vivi could tell that Nami can't handle this for a week.

Luffy questioned if getting sick is really that bad. Sanji and Usopp don't know because they've never been sick.

A few snickers broke out.

Jiro turned to Denki. "Have you ever been sick before?"

"Of course I have!" Denki pouted.

Vivi yelled at them that it's, of course, bad. This could even be a life-threatening illness, much to the other Straw Hats' horror.

Vivi tried to make them calm down before her illness could get worst, but Nami refused. She admitted that there's a newspaper in her desk drawer as Zoro was setting their course.

The princess read the paper, which have said that 300, 000 royal soldiers have defected to the Resistance. It was originally a cold war, with 600, 000 royal soldiers and 400, 000 Resistance soldiers, but now there has been a sudden change. This paper was from three days ago.

Eyes widen at the news.

This is what Nami have been hiding from her. Izuku nervously thought.

Nami apologized as Luffy could see things are getting bad. Usopp pointed out that she needs to get to the doctor, but Nami tried to brush it off, walking outside.

"No, Nami!" Ochako shook her head. "It's obvious you're very sick."

"This is not the first time she's so self-sacrificing." Izuku sighed, thinking back to what happened in the Arlong Park Arc.

Luffy thought she was better, but Usopp told him that she's just acting tough.

In storage, Nami can be seen leading against a wall, panting heavily, as Vivi worried about her kingdom, and not being able to return safely is not enough. She wants to return as quickly as possible. A million people could die.

Students gulped at the idea, a chill running down their spines. They could recognize the burden she carries.

"But Nami..." Ochako quietly murmured.

Outside, as Zoro lifted his weights, Nami yelled at him for not using the Eternal Pose. Apparently, the swordsman have been following a big cloud instead.

A round of facepalms came from the audience.

"Okay, I know you haven't heard what they've said inside, but you need to take this a bit more seriously!" Mina complained.

"Where did you get the idea to follow a fucking cloud instead of the compass!?" Jiro shouted.

"No wonder why you get lost so often." Momo sighed, shaking her head.

Zoro told her to go back to bed, but Nami could see that she can't leave this job to him, but suddenly, Nami felt the air change, though, to Zoro, it's been nice weather this whole time.

Nami had Zoro order the others to come out, where the swordsman ordered them to take the seat and catch the port side wind. Nami could feel an immense wind coming their way.

Luffy felt her forehead, which burnt him, and told her to stay inside, so they could get a doctor, but Nami still stubbornly refused no matter what they say.

"Oh, Nami, I know the crew isn't that great without you around, but I'm sure you can have a couple of days off, at least." Toru tried to persuade her. "I'm sure Sanji can do the navigating for a while."

Nami ordered everyone to get into position. She can tell that this is a little different than a storm.

After they were set on the right course, Vivi came out for a request: she wants to go to Alabasta as fast as possible. Nami promised they would as the crew stared at the princess down, hard.

...But Vivi wants to go find an island with a doctor on it right away.

A sigh of relief washed over the audience, glad that Vivi isn't going to be selfish.

Usopp asked if she's sure about that, but she still pushed for a doctor first, impressing everyone else.

Nami apologized as she collapsed into Vivi's arm.

Suddenly, Luffy screamed, pointing at the giant cyclone.

"Holy shit!" Eyes went wide at the sight.

"That must be what Nami have sensed!" Izuku exclaimed.

They've realized their ship was heading for they cyclone's direction, and they would had be directly hit if they kept going straight.

Lightning struck the waters as Vivi remembered that Grand Line cyclones are said to be impossible to predict. She realized that Nami seemed to detecting the weather with her body. She've never seen a navigator like that before.

"That's honestly amazing." Toru said, sleeves waving around.

As they've sailed away from the cyclone, they've declared their need for a doctor.

As it snowed, Nami was put to bed as Sanji and Karoo panicked for her health while Vivi took care of her.

Outside, Luffy shouted at Zoro if he found any doctors yet. From the crow's nest, Zoro found something, asking if people can stand on the ocean, much to Luffy and Usopp's confusion.

But the two looked, seeing a bizarrely dressed man standing on the water.

"To Be Continued."

"...What the fuck." Katsuki could only say to that.

"Checkered Jesus?" Mina raised an eyebrow.


Onto episode 79, they've skipped the opening, recap, and title card to see Vivi, Sanji, and Karoo watching over Nami while Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro were met with the man standing on the ocean, who was casually saying hi to them. Luffy and Usopp tried to be casual too, but this was getting kind of awkward for them.

"Seriously, what's your deal here, dude?" Jiro questioned.

A man demanded for increased buoyancy as a giant ship risen where the checkered man stood, violently shaking the Going Merry.

The metal plating of the giant ship came down, revealing itself to them.

"Goddamn, that's like a billion times bigger than the Going Merry!" Denki shouted in shock as the audience stared, gapping at the hippo ship.

The three could see it's a pirate ship by the flag as someone laughed and bragged about his ship. Sanji quickly ran to the upper deck at the sound to see a metal mouthed man eating meat from a knife. The cook lit a fire for a cigarette, asking what's going on.

Luffy casually answered that they're being attacked as they're already held up by gunpoint.

"We haven't even reached an island yet, and they're already being attacked." Sero said, exasperated by all of this.

The metal mouthed man thought they were strange, eating his knife like it was nothing, which even Luffy winced at the sight.

"And they're the strange ones?" Aizawa raised an eyebrow as Kirishima visibly bristled at the metal mouth man.

The Straw Hats stared in disbelief at him.

The fat man wanted to go to the Drum Kingdom, so he asked if they have a pose. Of course they don't since the Straw Hats have never even heard of the place, and Luffy really wants him to leave.

Since they don't have a pose, the man decided to take their treasure and the ship. Then he took a huge chunk out of them Merry because he was hungry.

"Merry, no!"

"Oh god! Why can't they meet normal people for once?" Hizashi exclaimed, feeling bad for the Straw Hats.

"And how is wood tasty?" Denki can't help but to question this.

Luffy attempted to stop the fat man, Wapol, which the guards tried to shoot at him for. Zoro and Sanji took this as a sign to fight them as Usopp tried his best to dodge the bullets.

Hearing the gunshots, Vivi ordered Karoo to watch over Nami, but the three were easily able to handle themselves against the guards.

Luffy tried to stop Wapol, but with the man's Baku Baku no Mi, he've eaten Luffy as the rubber man stretched out his arms.

"Okay, so far this is one of the anime's weirder quirks." Jiro proclaimed.

"It gives the user a really big mouth and the ability to eat stuff like wood." Denki noted, tilting his head in confusion.

Just as Vivi entered the scene, Luffy's outstretched arms were able to send Wapol flying out into the sky, much to the big mouthed man's crew's shock and horror.

His crew left to save him while demanding the Straw Hats remember them in the future.

"...They're so going to be the villains of the arc, aren't they?" Katsuki said, obviously disappointed.

"Most likely yes." Iida nodded, getting an annoyed groan from the boy.

The Straw Hats stared at the retreating ship, looking rather annoyed. Though Sanji hoped they would never see Wapol again, Vivi seemed to remember him from somewhere.

After the eyecatches, several days earlier, Smoker received an intercepted signal.

"Oh, hey, good to see you again, buddy." Denki casually said as the others perked up at the sight of the man.

Tashigi was admiring a Ryo-Wazamono sword, Kashu, when Smoker yelled for her.

When the call registered in her head, Tashigi ran down the stairs, sword in hand, but she tripped, sending the weapon flying and nearly impaling her face by an inch.

While there were a couple of laughs here and there, there were definitely also some sharp inhales at that.

Tashigi was taken back by the sword, but she soon noticed the black Transponder Snail, a listening device

From the device, they could hear a conversation between two men. Through the static, they were able to understand four keywords: Princess Vivi, Straw Hat, 'orders via letter,' and Mr. 0.

Tashigi wondered if Mr. 0 is connected to the suspicious swordsman, Mr. 11, they've caught in Runess. Smoker agreed with possibility, but Mr. 11 denied it.

The agent gave it away when Smoker mentioned a letter found in Mr. 11's pocket, which was a lie.

"Oldest trick in the book." Aizawa slightly smirked as a couple of students chuckled.

Smoker recalled Vivi as the name of Alabasta's missing princess. Tashigi questioned the connection between the mysterious organization and the Straw Hats with Alabasta's coup. The captain admits that he doesn't know, but it's the only clue to Straw Hat's whereabouts they have now.

So, they have to pay a visit to Alabasta.

"Well, I can see you're still obsess with Luffy." Izuku sighed with a smile.

"Hey, at least it setting up a rematch between the two." Ochako shrugged.

As the sun sets, Nami was sweating as Luffy questioned if Vivi and Sanji are sure she's not just hungry. He believes she should eat enough meat for 100 people.

Luffy tried to make her laugh by tying up his face up, but since she didn't laugh, he could tell that this is serious.

...Then he asked if they should dump water on her to cool her fever down, much to Vivi and Sanji's great annoyance.

"We seriously need a doctor here." Ojiro sighed at the situation.

For tonight, they've decided to stop the ship since they can't navigate without Nami's instructions.

That night, Nami woke up and saw her friends around her. Though Usopp surprised him with a sleepy outburst, Nami still managed to smile as Sanji was on lookout duty.

A couple of the students smiled at the scene, happy to see Nami is in a place where she's safe and with friends.

The sun started to rise as Sanji was woken up by Usopp repairing the ship.

Later, Zoro was walking down to Nami's room to see Luffy there, absolutely surprised with how Luffy attempted to make Nami laugh.

A few laughed at the little scene as Hizashi sighed, "Laughter is the best medicine."

Although, I guess it does show how worried Luffy is for her. Toshinori thought.

Outside, Sanji realized how cool and calm the area has become, which Usopp thought was another strange thing the Grand Line does. Vivi corrected him, saying that it's probably proof that an island is nearby.

"Oh, finally." Mina let out a sigh of relief at the news, which was echoed by some of the others.

It's probably a winter island, and as Vivi explained, there are four basic types of islands in the Grand Line based on a season, which each one has four seasons of its own. That means there are at least 6 seasonal levels. Of course, there are many exceptions and unknown climates.

Usopp understands that as the reason why the seas between the islands have such unstable weather. That's why stable weather means an island is nearby.

"Oh..." Several students said, understanding the material in a way.

"I'm not a meteorologist, but that does make some sense." Iida nodded.

With his binoculars, Sanji has found an island, which Luffy was absolutely excited about, telling Nami that she can get better now. Zoro told him that he can cover for him, which Luffy took as a great chance to get a look of the island.

He was so glad to see a snow island, but Sanji reminded him that they're not here to have an adventure.

"Luffy, how aren't you cold?" Denki shivered.

Usopp frightened himself with the idea of snow monsters on the islands, suggesting that maybe people aren't living on the island. i mean, his chronic 'Can't-Go-to-the-Island' disease is acting up!

Sanji simply suggest that they get ready for land.

The audience ooohed and awed at the winder wonderland the island is, even with its strange, tall mountains.

"Why are they so... flat on top." Toru wondered.

Usopp asked Luffy if he's cold at all since it's -10 Celsius right now.

Then Luffy felt cold.

"I wonder if being rubber took away made him more numb to the cold." Izuku murmured.

Vivi suggest that they stop at the waterfall of melted snow while Zoro asked who's going to people hunt. Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp wanted to go, but they were held up by gunpoint from the people of the island.

"Again?!" Sero shouted.

"Whoa, hey, I know they're pirates, but they're the good kind, I swear." Mina held her hands up in surrender.

A man dressed in green told them to leave. When the crew asked for a doctor, the people won't believe it, and when Sanji talked, one of them shot at his feet.

Sanji wanted to fight, but Vivi blocked his path. At the sudden movement, the man shot right at her.

"To Be Continued."

"Whoa, hey!" "Vivi!" "No!" The audience panicked at the development.

"They just wanted a doctor." Toru argued.

"But it's not like pirates are naturally good people." Aizawa sighed.

"Yeah, but the Straw Hats didn't do anything bad to them."

"Hey, calm down." Ojiro told her.

"It isn't fair!"

"We know that." Momo sighed.


Onto episode 80, they skipped the opening, recap, and title card to see Vivi on the floor. At Luffy's angry outburst, the people aimed their guns. The Straw Hat would had fought them if Vivi haven't grabbed onto Luffy, telling them to stop.

She bowed on her hands and knees, begging the people for a doctor. Luffy stared in shock as Vivi told him that he isn't fit to be captain since they can't fix this by being reckless.

"Whoa, son't being Luffy's captain status into this!" Kirishima exclaimed, pointing a finger at her. "He's a great captain."

"But we're in a desperate situation." Iida grimaced. "I don't completely agree with what she said, but she's right when it comes to Nami's needs. We need a doctor."

Luffy stared at her bleeding wound. He apologized to the people, following Vivi's actions.

Seeing this, the man in green decided to allow them in their village. Luffy was amazed by Vivi.

Trudging through the show, the man warned them that their only doctor is a witch.

"Of course." Aizawa sighed. "Nothing can be normal in the One Piece world."

Sanji asked about the island, and the man in green claimed that this land still doesn't have a name. When Vivi asked if that really does happen, the man didn't answered.

"Did it have something to do with pirates?" Toru guessed.

Suddenly, Usopp screamed when a bear was approaching them, telling everyone to pretend to be dead.

In actuality, it's a Hiking Bear, and they pose no danger. Just don't forget to bow.

"Well, that was random." Denki snickered.

On the Going Merry, Zoro was happy about his ankle repairs as Karoo shivered in his blanket. The swordsman decided to train, using the waterfall, instead of watching the boat.

"Roronoa Zoro, you need to watch the ship!" Iida scolded the swordsman, doing his arm chops.

The man in green introduced the crew to their village, Big Horn, which Luffy thought the animals around are strange.

Vivi heard the man in green, Dalton, thank everyone for the help, and asked the ones who aren't guards to return back to their work, but one of them asked if he'll be alright by himself with the pirates. Dalton believes the Straw Hats are no threat, and the people decided to trust on his word.

Vivi realized that these people aren't the land's security force, but they're actually ordinary citizens."

"Well, that explains a lot." Hizashi sighed. "How they acted back there was real amateur work."

"But what did happened to the guards?" Toshinori questioned.

One of the citizens approached him about the election in two days, saying that everyone's going to vote for him, but Dalton refused, thinking himself as a sinful man.

"I mean, you seen to be doing a great job running the place so far." Jiro said. "What have you done to think so?"

In Dalton's place, Nami rested in a bed as Dalton introduced himself as captain of this island's security squad, asking them to forgive their heavy-handed welcome. He soon asked Vivi if they've met before, but Vivi dodged the question by asking about the witch.

Hearing that Nami's temperature is 42 Celsius, Dalton was shock to hear the details. Sanji asked where this witch is, and the captain pointed him to the moutains-

Wait, the window was blocked by Usopp and Luffy's snowmen.

A few snickered at the two.

Dalton explained that mountains are known as the Drum Rockies, and on top of the tallest one in the middle was a castle with no king. That's where their only doctor, Dr. Kureha, lives.

Sanji asked why she's at such a far away place, telling him to call her out right away, but there's no way to contact her.

"Really?!" Ochako shouted in frustration.

"It's incredibly irresponsibly to live so far away, even if she is a witch." Iida agreed.

Dalton claimed she's a very skiled doctor, but she's also a nearly 140 years old hag. Also, she likes pickled plums.

"140?!" Nearly everyone shouted.

"She's older than Recovery Girl!" Toshinori exclaimed.

When asked about the people who get sick or injured, Dalton said that she comes down when she feels like it, and when she does treat patients, she takes anything from their house as payment before leaving. Luffy thought she sounded like a pirate.

Vivi asked how does this doctor get down the mountain. Dalton told them rumors of people seeing her riding on a sleigh through the sky on moonlit nights, which is the reason why she's called a witch. Some also saw her with a strange creature they'd never seen before.

"So, wait, are you saying that we're dealing with evil Santa Claus the witch pirate?" Denki asked.

"...I guess so?" Hizashi shrugged, no knowing what to do with such a sentence.

Usopp panicked at the idea of meeting the two, and Dalton admitted that he prefers to stay away from her too. All they have to do is wait for her to come down.

"We can't wait for that! Nami could die when she does." Toru worried.

Luffy lightly slapped Nami awake to tell her the news, but the others thought it would only make her illness worst, arguing with him on the situation.

Nami just want to get over this fast. She wants to hurry up for Vivi, so she's counting on her captain.

After the eyecatches, the others tried to warn him of what to come, but Sanji decided to come along as well with Usopp and Vivi prepping Luffy. The two wanted to stay in the village.

Dalton can't stop them, so he told them to climb up from the other side since there are Lapins (fierce, carnivorous rabbits) on this course.

"Carnivorous rabbits?!" Ochako exclaimed as Koda's eyes widen.

"I think there's a hare that's a carnivore... and a cannibal." Koda quietly said.

"What the fuck, mother nature." Denki's jaw dropped.

Sanji believed he could simply kick them, which Dalton was flabbergasted by.

Soon, the two pirates ran off, making the others worry about Nami's strength on the whole thing.

Dalton was about to enter his home when he saw Usopp and Vivi are still waiting outside, so he decided to join them.

"Aw, you shouldn't." Mina smiled, waving a hand.

As they wait, Dalton told them that they did have some incredibly skilled doctors a long time ago; in fact, they were known as an advanced medical nation, but their country was destroyed just a few months ago by a bunch of pirates. There were only five of them, with their captain named Blackbeard.

"Wait, really?!" Toru exclaimed.

"Five pirates affected the whole country like that!?" Izuku's eyes widen.

"Well, I guess Blackbeard's in here now." Hizashi said, familiar with the name from history.

There were people who said that it might have been a good thing since their old monarchy was horrible. The country's former name was the Drum Kingdom, and the horrible king's name was Wapol, someone Usopp and Vivi definitely remembers.

"Goddamn it, I knew that guy is going to be involved with this arc!" Katsuki complained.

With Luffy, Nami, and Sanji, they tried to pick up the speed, but something was following them.

"No not the killer rabbits!" Sero shouted.

As they talked about rumors about the snow countries, they casually dodged the Lapins and whatever else is in their way til Sanji finally decided to kick the little bunny away.

As Koda let out a horrified gasp, Sero said, "Okay, they're doing much better than I thought."

"But I feel like they just bullied the baby bunny." Toru said.

The two trudged through the snow until the giant Lapins appeared.

"I knew it." Toru said.

Dalton can't believe Usopp and Vivi know Wapol, and Vivi mentioned that when she was very young, her father took her to a monarch meeting where she've met him. When Dalton asked who she is, Vivi dodged the question by saying that they've met him yesterday when Wapol called himself a pirate. Dalton believed he's using that as camouflage, trying to return to this island.

Vivi thought that Wapol's army must have been kicked out because they were no match for the Blackbeard Pirates, but as Dalton recalled, they didn't even try to fight. In fact, the moment Wapol learned how strong the pirates were, he abandoned the country and flee out to sea. That's what threw the entire nation into despair.

"That's awful!" Momo exclaimed, hands over her mouth.

"How could he leave the country to fend for itself?" Iida asked in disgust, which Vivi felt the same.

Dalton agreed, but he's at least glad that Wapol's tyranny is finally over. The remaining people had come together to try to create a new country, thought what they fear the most is Wapol's return.

Back to the Lapins situation, the three were attacked by these giant rabbits, dodging their attacks. Sanji realized that there are the Lapins Dalton was talking about, shocked that there were so many of them.

Meanwhile, Wapol and his crew has found their kingdom.

"To Be Continued."

"Well, this is going to be one hell of an event." Jiro sighed.
