yesit's filler
title: Breaking Through the Siege! The Going Merry Is Recovered!
The episode starts with the events prior to the arrival of Nami's group into Dock 88. Drake's men bombard Luffy's group with gun fire but he easily repels the bullets using his Devil Fruit powers.
The Marines resort to using what seem like bazookas seeing that their guns are ineffective. They have fired instead, flash bombs to subdue the pirates which stings their eyes.
Drake then has his Sword Unit attack the Straw Hats as they are still trying to recover from the effects of the flash bomb. The Crew are able to fight off the attacks.
