Chapter 131 summary
Snow falls heavily as the Going Merry sails through wintery waters and Luffy questions how a man can stand on the ocean. Usopp spots the checkered-faced man standing calmly on the surface, who greets them about the cold before a massive submarine ship rises beneath the Merry and lifts it into the air. Wapol, captain of the Tin Can King Pirates, laughs from the deck and demands a Log Pose while his crew aims rifles upward. Wapol eats pieces of the Going Merry's railing and hull after the crew refuses, prompting Luffy to grab him by the jaw. Wapol's men open fire as Sanji and Zoro begin defeating pirates on the deck. Wapol swallows Luffy whole while continuing to chew the ship, but Luffy stretches his arm free and punches Wapol off the vessel. Vivi emerges from the cabin to find the defeated pirates and watches Luffy in shock as Wapol's crew cries out.
