Synopsis: On the way to Master Nekomamushi, the Strawhats continue to fill-in Luffy's group as to what happened to Sanji. The flashback shows Pekoms and Capone Bege boarding Zou. It's revealed that Pekoms is also a mink and Zou is his homeland. Enraged on the devastation on the land, he mistakenly accused the Strawhat as the cause and wanted vengeance. On the mink village, Sanji just finished with his cooking, then enthusiastically "garchu'd" every female minks he meets on the way to Nami, who punches him away. Chopper, Caesar, and Brook are preparing medicines for the injured minks. Then raging Pekoms come and the minks explains that the Strawhats are their saviors. Sanji and Brook meet the two pirates from Big Mom in a faraway forest. Pekoms is appreciative of the Strawhats actions and promises that they will leave them alone if they just give them Caesar, as there is still "another thing" that Big Mom wanted from the Strawhat Crew that will supposedly cause its doom. Bege riddled Pekoms while kneeling with bullets in the back with something that mysteriously comes from his palm.
Reactions: The comedic "garchu" moments of Sanji is really well done. They also gives us details that are obscured in the manga but can be appreciated in the anime. For example, Pekoms raging and sudden relief from his grief, you can sincerely see how he loves his people and the minks happy that he's back. Interactions with Ceasar is really fun as well, and lastly, that scene where Bege is continuously shooting Pekoms in the back. The impact is really apparent.
The art and music are really on point. Animation is typical as there's no heavy scene yet. The pacing is a little slow some times, but that can't be helped as they are trying to work on less than a manga chapter for source material. I'm actually surprised on Capone Bege's VA. I'm pretty sure I heard that voice before but can't put my finger on it.
