"The Most Wicked Man of East Blue, Fish-Man Pirate Arlong" is the 31st episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary[]

The crew arrive at Arlong Park, base of the fish-man and Grand Line pirate Arlong. Zoro is captured by Arlong Pirates, and discovers Nami is one of Arlong's officers.

Long Summary[]

While at sea, Yosaku reveals Nami's destination, Arlong Park, the base of the most notorious pirate in the East Blue, Arlong. Suspecting Nami is after Arlong's bounty. Warning of the dangers that lie ahead, he tells that Arlong's strength surpasses even that of Krieg, being a fish-man originating from the Grand Line. Arlong had previously worked with Jinbe of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, seven government-sanctioned pirates such as Mihawk. Yosaku, Luffy and Sanji go to the galley for lunch.

Nami arrives at Arlong Park, where Arlong makes a bribery with a corrupt Marine officer. She reaches the base and beats a child attempting to eliminate Arlong.

Arriving at the island, Zoro prepares to invade the base, but Usopp and Johnny stop him, tying him with rope and sailing around the island. However, the ship is spotted by resident fish-men. Usopp and Johnny abandon ship, but Zoro is unable to escape the ship, and he is captured by Arlong Pirates. Zoro is interrogated by Arlong, where Arlong claims that fish-men are far superior to humans, as they possess greater strength and can breathe underwater. Nami confronts Zoro, revealing she is an officer and cartographer serving under Arlong.

Johnny and Usopp arrive onshore at Gosa Village, only to find the entire village had been destroyed, and all houses had been flipped upside-down. A resident fish-man explains that the village was destroyed by the Arlong Pirates' sea monster, Momoo, for protesting against Arlong's reign. Revealing himself to be an Arlong Pirate, he attempts to capture Usopp, but is rescued by a human resident, Nojiko, who diverts the pirate away. They then visit Nojiko's house.
