Saul fights the battleships, attempting to allow Robin to escape. She tries to board the evacuation ship, but per Spandine's orders, she is denied access. Vice-Admiral Kuzan, later known as [[Kuzan|Admiral Aokiji]], enters the scene to engage in battle with Saul. While they fight, the evacuation ship is sunk by the fanatical Vice-Admiral [[Sakazuki]], later known as Admiral Akainu. Saul, on the verge of dying, instructs Robin to flee on his raft. Persuaded by Saul's argument and Sakazuki's action, Kuzan helps Robin escape. From then on, Robin lives a life on the run, not being able to trust even the kindest of people, in a world that believes that her existence alone is a sin. In the present, Robin admits her greatest fear: to be seen as a burden by her crewmates and cast away, because being with her means having the world as their enemy. Finally knowing what kept her away, [[Sogeking]], on Luffy's order, burns the Government's flag, declaring war against the World Government itself.

Saul fights the battleships, attempting to allow Robin to escape. She tries to board the evacuation ship, but per Spandine's orders, she is denied access. Vice-Admiral Kuzan, later known as Admiral Aokiji, enters the scene to engage in battle with Saul. While they fight, the evacuation ship is sunk by the fanatical Vice-Admiral Sakazuki, later known as Admiral Akainu. Saul, on the verge of dying, instructs Robin to flee on his raft.

Anime Notes

  • Two notable books that were saved from the fire were entitled "Eiichiro Oda" and "Brag Men".
  • This is the last episode to use Adventure World as the ending, or any ending theme altogether.
  • This is the last episode to use Brand New World as the opening.
  • When Robin's eyecatcher appears twice, the theme associated with Robin is not played either time because its upbeat tone would clash with the especially deep emotional impact of this episode's events.
  • This is one of few episodes that does not have a "To Be Continued" card at the end.
  • As the next episode is a recap of Luffy's past with Shanks, the preview closing this episode contains both recycled footage from Episode 4 and new material from Episode 279. As Episode 4 was made before the series switched to high definition and widescreen, this footage is upscaled and letterboxed (with two borders reading "ONE PIECE"), highlighting the visible upgrade in animation quality between 1999 and 2006. Later episodes would reanimate these flashbacks entirely.
  • This episode marks the first appearance of Sakazuki, though he is seen obscured by a cloak. His merciless actions are a hint of his views toward Absolute Justice that will later arise in the Marineford Arc.
