Chapter 601 summary
Nami sits confidently at a poker table in a lavish casino, stacking large piles of chips while surrounded by nervous swindler herons. Brook rides a massive fish-shaped vehicle at high speed through Sabaody Archipelago, laughing about nostalgia as marines and citizens react to the riot sparked by his fans. Sanji and Zoro stand on Grove #41 and confirm their meeting point at Grove #42 beach while noting the surrounding ruckus. A large man in a cape appears on Grove #46 and orders his subordinates to attack after identifying one of the culprits. The fake Straw Hat crew including Demaro Black and Caribou clashes with marines who have sealed all exits, using a captured marine as a shield amid the explosions and fighting. Caribou cackles and charges while Demaro Black swings a massive weapon and declares his false identity as Straw Hat Luffy. A massive Pacifista appears and targets the impostor as marines identify him and onlookers scream in terror.
