Enel’s great space journey, part 21: Come on, towards the moon! The little creatures float on balloons towards the moon.
Storyline
Perona’s Wonder Garden: The animal zombies wonder why Inuppe of the Penguin Zombie Trio is supporting the pirates, and why he is as strong as a zombie general. He talks like Sanji, which puzzles Usopp, Nami, and Chopper. Usopp asks him if he knows Sanji, but he gives a few kicks in response. From a distance, they hear a voice coming closer and closer.
It is Absalom and Lola who is trying to find and kill Nami. Lola sees Nami and attacks her with her giant axe. Inuppe intervenes and blocks Lola’s axe blow, however he is immediately knocked back by her for not interfering. Usopp and Chopper ask him why he didn’t fight back against Lola, who replies that Lola is a woman after all and he doesn’t hit women. Usopp and Chopper are impressed that he recognized Lola as a woman.
Usopp and Chopper weren’t paying attention and Nami flies away! The two don’t even realize that the Invisible Man is behind it, kidnapping her to marry her. The Invisible Man makes himself visible, it’s Absalom. Nami doesn’t want to be married off, and grabs her Climate Clock and gives Absalom a violent jolt of electricity with her Thunder Charge attack, and Absalom drops Nami. Nami flees with Usopp and Chopper, who is already being chased by Lola again. Absalom, on the other hand, didn’t even notice that it was Nami who electrocuted him and thinks that this “feeling” is love and daydreams.
The animal zombies now also set off to catch the three fugitives. Absalom, however, orders them to stop because they’re not supposed to harm Nami, which they throw to the wind the first time because they’re Perona’s animal zombies, and just keep running. When he sounds his voice louder, they stop and he tells them not to anger him anyway. Inuppe is up again and stands in Absalom’s way because he wants to protect Nami. Absalom easily defeats him with his corpse hands though. Nami, Chopper and Usopp are still fleeing.
Franky and Robin: The two are surrounded by Zombie Generals in the back and Tararan is in their way in the front. He also wants to capture Franky and Robin, just like Zoro, Sanji and Luffy, who was just put into a coffin and taken away. Franky now blows up the connecting bridge with his coup de vent, surprising the ape-faced spider zombie and the zombie generals. To avoid crashing into the courtyard like the zombies, Robin saves herself and Franky with Cien Fleurs, Wing, Robin growing two wings from her arms. Robin can only keep this up for five seconds, however, but Franky clings to the remains of the bridge with his extendable hand. The two manage to get onto the ledge, with Robin using Franky as a “step” and him still dangling from the destroyed bridge. A scream now sounds from above and Robin, Franky and Tararan wonder who is falling down there. It’s Brook, the Gentleman Skeleton, which is what the Straw Hat Pirates left when they arrived at Thriller Bark!
