Ep. 11

Summary

Source-backed · Version: v1 · Original

Usopp decides that if nobody believes his warning, he will make sure the pirate attack appears to have been another harmless lie. He, Luffy, Zoro, and Nami prepare an ambush on the village's northern slope, coating the path with oil so the Black Cat Pirates cannot climb it. At dawn, however, they realize the enemy ship has anchored on the opposite side of the island. Luffy races toward the correct coast but becomes lost, while Zoro slides down the oily slope and struggles to climb back up. Nami reaches the southern slope first and tries to block the invading pirates alone. Meanwhile, Kaya confronts Klahadore after Merry confirms Usopp's accusation. Kuro attacks Merry and abandons his polite disguise, then calmly leaves for the coast to ensure his plan proceeds on schedule. Jango orders the Black Cat crew forward, but Nami's resistance delays them until Zoro arrives. Usopp fires at the pirates from a distance, determined to protect the village despite being badly outnumbered. The battle begins without Luffy, and Kuro grows impatient when his crew fails to arrive at the mansion.
