One Piece #421:

While Hancock was feeling the troubled about the female crews within Luffy’s group, Luffy was having great feast day and night on the ship. Robin, in other place, learned that she was on the island of labour and she was condemned as one of the slaves to finish the never-ending building of bridge. Usopp, meanwhile, was fearful of the man-eating plants around him.

Same time, Zorro landed on a lonely island of Rugg where a negative girl whom Kuma had sent times ago had stayed ever since. She took in the injured Zorro and tried to make him stay with her using her Negative Hollow technique. Other place, Brook landed on an island of ‘Hungeria’ where the people who wanted revenge using help of Satan mistook him for their devil god and wanted him to help them.

On the ship, one Marine officer suspected someone else hiding in Hancock’s cabin and told his superior. The officers went to investigate and Hancock cleared their suspicion by imitating Luffy’s tone in front of them. In the Great Prison, a senior Marine officer went to see Ace and told him that the Government was in a mess because of him. Ace told him to kill him but he refused, as Ace was an important person to lure out Whitebeard. Ace wept and in his mind, he called Whitebeard his father.

Samurai Champloo #01:

In a place, Mugen and Jin were about to be executed by a corrupted officer. A day ago, Fuu was attending to customers in her little eatery inn when Mugen entered asking for plain water. After she told him that he had to buy other food in order for her to serve him, she accidentally tripped and tipped hot tea over a corrupted officer’s son. He threatened to cut off her finger and she called Mugen to help her in return for 100 dango. Outside the eatery, Jin went to help a poor man who was being forced by the corrupted officer to pay up by killing the officer’s men. In the eatery, Mugen killed the followers of the corrupted officer’s son and demanded more powerful followers to fight him. Just then, Jin entered and Mugen mistook him for one follower and wanted to fight him. As they fought, the eatery caught fire. Fuu and her colleagues escaped out of the building. Before Mugen lost consciousness, he had a funny vision of Jin having a bath amidst the fire.

When he regained consciousness, he and Jin were arrested by the corrupted officer who was flaring because his son was killed in the fire. After torturing them, he declared to execute them the next day. Meanwhile, with nothing left, Fuu left to look for Mugen and Jin. She found them and tried to release them from the jail but failed. On the time of execution, she used explosive to distract the officer’s men while Mugen and Jin freed themselves from their bounds and killed the corrupted officer. After they got away with Fuu, Fuu asked them to help her find a samurai with smell of sunflowers. They agreed and left.

In a dark cell, a huge man was released to carry out another man’s order. It was daytime when Mugen, Jin and Fuu were trying to gather enough money to buy their meals. After overhearing conversation from some customers in an inn, Mugen volunteered to deal with the mysterious kidnappers. In return, they had food. Fuu got herself drunk and had to be carried on a trolley by Mugen and Jin. Along the way, Mugen ran into a woman who offered lodging for the three of them. Back at the eatery inn, a man killed the inn owner for helping him lure Mugen, Jin and Fuu into his trap.

It was night. Mugen and the woman were drinking in a room. Outside the house, Fuu was knocked unconscious by two men and taken away. Out in the open, Jin was soaking in hot spring with a stranger and they watched the fireflies in the sky. Out on the road, Fuu witnessed the larger of the men killing two invaders easily with his limbs. Later, in a hut, she saw the larger man watching the moon and telling her that other people had despised him because of his ugly look. Fuu stated that he was not ugly and showed him a firefly in her hands. The second man, who was the initiator of the kidnapping, interrupted their conversation. Meanwhile, Mugen pushed the woman host away when she attempted to poison him with her kiss. He ran off looking for Fuu as she told him that she was probably in danger. Same time, Jin was also looking for Fuu when the stranger at the hot spring told him about Fuu. Mugen was confronted by the two men who showed him the tied up Fuu. In the bamboo woods, Jin and the stranger fought. Other place, Fuu was about to be killed by the initiator when the larger man killed him to protect her.
