While the real Luffy is off chasing Gecko Moria, the rest of the Straw Hat crew (Zoro, Sanji, Robin, Chopper, and Usopp) must team up to stop this giant version of their captain. They quickly realize that Oars has incredible strength and, unlike the real Luffy, doesn't feel pain because he is a zombie.
The episode centers on the awakening of , a colossal ancient giant reanimated by Gecko Moria. Using Luffy’s shadow , Moria has created a "Special Zombie" that possesses all of Luffy’s personality, appetite, and fighting instincts.
In , titled "The Enemy is Luffy!! The Strongest Zombie vs. the Straw Hat Crew," the battle on Thriller Bark reaches a fever pitch as the crew faces their most terrifying opponent yet: a giant with their captain’s own soul. The Story of Episode 365
This episode is a fan favorite because it flips the series' dynamic on its head. Instead of Luffy saving his crew, the crew has to survive a battle against the "essence" of Luffy himself. It sets the stage for the appearance of a few episodes later, where Luffy absorbs 100 shadows to fight back.
The crew uses their best "docking" and team-up maneuvers, but Oars’ massive size and Luffy-like unpredictability make him nearly impossible to hit. The episode ends with the crew realizing they need a new strategy—or a massive amount of salt—to purify this nightmare. Why This Episode Matters
