Robin has left and Nami is unhappy at her leaving so soon. She wants to help her even if the trouble she is in is bigger than all of them. As she fears, she went without them and she has left a message saying that some of the crew are on the train with Robin. Nami needs to get to her and her comrades, and again, Saonji provides the humour in this series, the last of the Water 7 Arc.
Nami is upset at her leaving, but she realises there is nothing she can do about it - instead Usopp, Franky and Saionji go ahead to help Robin out in the hope they can get her back. With extra doses of humour here, it seems as though it never ends with even more peculiar characters such as Saonji's chef rival, Ramen Kempo who uses his noodles for battling him, which looks as weird as it sounds. I can imagine many will be sad that Usopp has left the Straw Hat Pirates, but he keeps showing up in different episodes to keep us viewers happy.
For a story that is as crazy as this one, there could be only one ending and it's pretty apt. What follows is a new arc, The Ernies Lobby arc where our intrepid crew venture to another island, but this time it has no night and is as bonkers as any other island they have come across before. The story is a lot darker with the characters in more trouble than they thought coping with the island's strangeness. Be prepared for many fights though as we know from the previous volumes One Piece is known for its impressive fight sequences.
Even though this is a new arc, it is easy to get the impression that it is a continuation of the last one, which makes both series 10 and 11 longer than expected, especially if they aren't your cup of tea. The quality of animation is as usual second to none, as is the way the characters are drawn (some vary from volume to volume in other anime series.) If they are, then it's a bonus and this new arc will have enough comic capers and in jokes to keep laughing at for hours.
Bonus Material: Opening and Closing Animations, Behind the Scenes and Commentaries.
Verdict: Tonnes of fun and battles a plenty with the Straw Hats!
