Chapter 380: Enies Lobby Main Island Express

Arc: Enies Lobby · Saga: Water Seven · Released:

Summary

The Rocketman — Kokoro’s resurrected second sea train, carrying the Straw Hats, Galley-La shipwrights, and the Franky Family — barrels toward Enies Lobby’s island gate. Inside the gate, alarms blare: the three-headed Chief Justice Baskerville and the Courthouse Guard Force scramble as reports come in that the giant gatekeeper Kashii has already been beaten and Oimo is losing. The Franky Family attaches a rope to the gate’s “top knot,” and with Yokozuna the giant frog hurled by the train and the bull-cars Sodom and Gomorrah pulling, the doors are forced open — only for Rocketman to leap the iron fence and the entire gate, flying over Oimo’s head and crashing onto the main island (“then what was the point of opening it?!”). On Zoro’s order everyone braces (“leave it… to luck”). The train plows through and lands. As the guards reel, Zoro and Sanji are the first to step out, calmly facing the assembled Courthouse Guard Force — “It’s just as I ordered. We’ve been waiting for you” — kicking off the assault on Enies Lobby.

New reveals

• The Rocketman, Kokoro’s repaired older sea train, has reached Enies Lobby carrying the boarding party (Straw Hats remnant + Galley-La + Franky Family).
• Enies Lobby’s Island Gate is guarded by two giants — Oimo and Kashii — who serve the World Government; one report says Kashii was already defeated “at the island gate” and Oimo is losing.
• The island’s defenders include the Courthouse Guard Force, the Courthouse Guard Dog Unit (first-rank guards), and the three-headed Chief Justice Baskerville.
• The sea cars Sodom and Gomorrah (the king bulls towing the train) and the giant frog Yokozuna are used to wrench the gate open.
• Zoro and Sanji are the first to disembark, calmly facing the guard force (“It’s just as I ordered. We’ve been waiting for you”).

Open questions raised

• Where are Luffy, Usopp/Sogeking, Chopper, and Robin relative to the gate crash? (Only Zoro, Sanji, and Nami are clearly shown disembarking this chapter.)
• Who exactly beat the giants Oimo and Kashii at the gate, and why are these giants serving the World Government?
• What is the full chain of command at Enies Lobby above Chief Justice Baskerville?
