This episode, we get another example of this in Sanji, the cook we met last episode. Guess what? He too has a rather sad backstory, arguably the saddest one yet. Turns out young Sanji was a small-time cook in a ship’s galley until Zeff’s Cook Pirates raided the ship. The old man took an interest in Sanji’s cooking, particularly Sanji’s talk of the All Blue. Unfortunately, there was a shipwreck, and they were the only two survivors, stranded on a tiny island together. Zeff split their limited amount of food in two and decided they were to stand watch on opposite ends of the island until help arrived. After 70 days, Sanji, half-dead and with food long gone, decided he was going to take some of the old man’s food. But, much to his surprise, Zeff had only a big bag of treasure and no food — he had given it all to Sanji in the first place. How did Zeff survive? He cut off his own leg and ate it! Like Shanks, Zeff literally sacrificed a limb to save a child he owed nothing to.
More than Shanks’s big moment, this scene is given more time to marinate and for the audience to feel the emotional weight behind it, so it hits harder. Turns out Zeff had also searched for the All Blue his whole life, but now he’s too old and says it’s time for the young. Zeff tells Sanji the All Blue is real and Sanji has to find it to fulfill both of their dreams.
In the present, the Straw Hats are in shock over Zoro’s defeat. Nami takes charge and tells Luffy to find a doctor while she stops the bleeding. He finds Zeff, who uses his skills learned from cooking to stitch Zoro up, but Zoro’s still caught between life and death after losing so much blood. While the episode still finds moments of levity, we get a surprisingly emotional and somber moment with Luffy, who can’t find the words to say to Zoro when we know he usually can’t stop talking (Iñaki Godoy is excellent at not just the goofier side of the Straw Hat but the vulnerable side too). Sanji tells Luffy that being captain is the toughest job because of the hard choices you have to make, like those Zeff did when they were castaways. Nami tells him the same, still angry that Luffy could have prevented this and did nothing, but Luffy repeats that he simply cannot stand in the way of someone’s dreams. For the first time since Shanks lost an arm to save him, Luffy realizes the cost of a life at sea, of having people depend on you.
The fishmen we met in a previous episode arrive at the restaurant with Buggy’s disembodied head in a bag and Arlong the Saw leading them. This episode clearly uses the fishmen as an allegory for people of color with Arlong talking about how they are second-class citizens on the surface, forced to do manual labor for humans, who think themselves superior. As he argues, fishmen are superior — stronger and faster (and given the world of the show is mostly water and small islands, he has a point here).
The moment Nami hears about the fishmen, she panics and begs Luffy to run away, to protect his own and leave. But Luffy can’t do that. He can’t leave innocents to suffer because of him, as Arlong is threatening to kill people until he finds Luffy. This is the last straw for Nami, who already warned Luffy to make the tough choices. If he doesn’t listen, Nami’s going to make her own tough choice. The navigator, who has mostly acted as the captain so far, goes over to Arlong and reveals she has been part of his crew for years. She was always going to betray Luffy and hand over the Grand Line map.
Or was she? After all, she was begging Luffy to run away with her onboard, so for a brief moment, her friends mattered more than whatever loyalty she has for Arlong. Except Luffy broke her trust, and now it’s too late. Luffy tries to fight the fishmen, but Arlong is too strong and nearly kills him. Only Nami and Sanji’s intervention saves him. The Straw Hats are now without a full crew and without a map.")
