However, an evil organization called Baroque Works will stop at nothing to keep the crew from reaching Arabasta. It is made up of five story arcs.
The Straw-Hat pirates finally enter the Grand Line only to be targeted by the criminal organization Baroque Works. They meet Vivi, and decide to help save her country, Arabasta. Making their way across the Grand Line, they fend off Baroque Works' assassination attempts while meeting Luffy's older brother, Portgas D. Ace, as well as a pair of giants named Dorry and Broggy, and gaining a new crew member: Tony Tony Chopper. With the fate of Arabasta hanging on the line, the saga climaxes with a full-out confrontation with the Straw Hats fighting Baroque Works and their leader, Mr. 0, aka Crocodile, a Shichibukai.
