Enies Lobby
To save Nico Robin the crew storms the World Government's judicial island and burns its flag, declaring war on the world. After the clash with CP9 and a Buster Call, Franky joins the crew with the new Thousand Sunny.
To take Robin back the crew — with Franky, the Galley-La, the Franky Family and Usopp disguised as Sogeking — storms the judicial island of Enies Lobby. Before the whole world they burn the World Government flag: a declaration of war. As Robin finally cries that she wants to live, Luffy beats Rob Lucci by awakening Gear Second and Third, and the crew escapes the Buster Call. Back in Water Seven they bid farewell to the Going Merry, whose spirit thanks them; with Adam Wood, Franky builds and boards the Thousand Sunny.
