One Piece Episode 397

Storyline

Grove 1, Human Auctioning House: Saint Charlos is knocked to the ground by Luffy’s blow. The World Nobles and the audience are shocked, while Trafalgar Law sits nonchalantly in his seat, unperturbed. The Kid seems amused by the scenario. Luffy then apologizes to his crew for probably calling a Navy admiral to the archipelago by his actions. Zoro slides his sword back into its sheath and is annoyed because he wanted to slash Saint Charlos himself. Backstage, the key to Camie’s exploding necklace is to be found. Chopper is doctoring Hatchan. Pappag is still deeply touched by the use of the straw hats. Rosward and Shalria, on the other hand, are horrified and concerned about Charlos’ well-being. Rosward now goes to shoot Luffy, but Sanji kicks the gun out of his hand. While Sanji’s foot still gets in many a face, Franky makes a run for it backstage. Meanwhile, there is a call for more bodyguards. The previous visitors to the auction now abruptly leave the traffickers’ hall.

Backstage: Silvers Rayleigh and the Giant also notice the commotion. Rayleigh wants to leave.

Auction Hall: Zoro has to deal with many guards, which he can take out with a few sword blows. The other Straw Hats are also struggling against their opponents. Saint Rosward has to watch in horror as the guards are knocked to the ground one by one. Luffy, meanwhile, is still beside himself and tells those present that Camie is not an object that can simply be treated like an object. Rosward then arranges for an admiral to be summoned along with battleships. Meanwhile, Usopp, Robin, and Brook are still on their way to Grove 1.

Grove 1: Marines surround the auction building.

While all the visitors of the Human Auctioning House are pushing towards the exit, Rayleigh steals a man’s money.

Zoro cuts through Camie’s water prison. Camie is overjoyed. At the same time, the last of the Straw Hats have arrived and fly straight through the roof of the hall with the Tobiuo Riders. Brook and Robin (with Cien Fleurs, Wing) willingly dismount themselves and jump into the flared battle. Usopp is simply pushed down by his Tobiuo Rider. Disko orders the guards to protect the mermaid, after all she was sold for 500 million berries. The falling Usopp now lands right on top of Rosward, knocking him out, while Shalria calls out for her father in horror and Usopp half-heartedly apologizes. Luffy is pleased to notice that Brook, Usopp, and Robin have arrived. Usopp inquires about Camie. Luffy points to the water ball while telling him that they will leave the hall as soon as possible once they remove the collar from Camie’s neck. The navy and an admiral would be on their way to Grove 1.

Trafalgar Law then tells Luffy that the navy is already there. Luffy asks him who he is and what’s up with the bear behind him. Law, however, just continues unperturbed in his account and conveys that the Navy has been there since the auction began. Outside the auction house, the marines are still getting into position. Law goes on to explain to Luffy that the navy can’t be here because of the Tenryuubito incident, as there would have been no indication that the Tenryuubito would be in trouble. So the reason must be something else. Robin, meanwhile, recognizes Trafalgar Law and tells Luffy that he too is a pirate. Luffy, however, mostly wants to know if the bear is also a pirate.

Meanwhile, Disko negotiates with Shalria that the 500 million berry would still have to be paid. However, the latter just wants to kill Camie after what happened. She pulls out a gun and points it at Camie, while Usopp, Zoro and Robin get ready to stop Shalria. However, the latter collapses abruptly. From the stage, Rayleigh appears, making cozy small talk with the trapped giant. He wants to go gamble away the stolen money again. Silvers now realizes that everyone is staring at him and the giant. The guards are puzzled as to how the two of them could just escape like that. After a moment’s thought, they think that they were not prepared for capturing a giant. Hatchan, who continues to be handled by Chopper, now recognizes Rayleigh. Rayleigh himself now recognizes Hatchan as well and wants to know why the latter is puzzled. After a thorough look at the scenario, however, he no longer needs an explanation, but concludes that Hatchan got himself into a sticky situation and the Straw Hats saved him. Rayleigh now unleashes his aura, defeating all the guards in the hall! Sanji and Zoro are impressed. Rayleigh now recognizes the straw hat and says that it would fit someone like Luffy very well. At the same time, he opens up that he really wants to talk to Luffy.
