Recent Timeline

• Buggy's loss and Orange Town attack (Episode 8)

  Long ago, as an apprentice pirate under Shanks, Buggy secretly kept a map to undersea treasure and a Devil Fruit he meant to sell. When startled, he accidentally swallowed the Bara Bara Fruit; the wind blew the map overboard, and he lost the treasure after finding he could no longer swim. Years later, Buggy splits his body to seize the stolen treasure in Orange Town, but Luffy strikes him down and Nami binds his parts with rope. Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Bazooka then blasts him out of town. Nami gives Luffy the Grand Line map, keeps the rest of the treasure, and agrees to sail with the crew temporarily to earn Bellies. Townspeople who fled return and wrongly blame the crew; Chouchou stops the mob so the crew can reach the pier and escape. Luffy leaves the treasure to fund repairs, to Nami's dismay.

• Usopp's bluffs and Yasopp's identity (Episode 9)

  Usopp runs through the village falsely warning of a pirate attack, then admits he invented it and escapes the angry villagers. He claims to command eighty million followers, but Nami exposes the bluff, and the visitors detect his three followers, prompting a retreat. Luffy identifies Yasopp as Usopp's father, a fact Usopp confirms. Luffy recalls meeting Yasopp as a child, when he sailed with Shanks's crew, and recognized the resemblance. This reveals that Usopp's father is a pirate who left the village because he could not resist the sea.

• Expulsion from the mansion and Luffy's fall (Episode 10)

  Usopp attacks Klahadore after Klahadore insults his pirate father. Klahadore expels Usopp and the crew from the front yard and orders them never to return. Kuro and Jango hypnotize Luffy after discovering he and Usopp overheard their plot, and Luffy falls headfirst off the cliff.

• Usopp's flight with news of the plot (Episode 10)

  Kuro and Jango decide not to pursue Usopp, judging that the townspeople would not believe him. Usopp flees toward the village to warn them of the plot.

• Pirate leader's return and attack plan (Episode 11)
