History Recap / OnePieceZouArc

** The Mink tribe were nearly wiped out by one of Caesar's weapons. It's him that (albeit begrudgingly) helps save them when Sanji forces him to dispel the gas.
* DoomedHometown: Nearly got this way for the Minks after Jack decided to use a gas weapon on the tribe which nearly wiped them out. It's only when Sanji's group arrived that they were saved.

* InMediasRes: The crew arrives after Sanji's group rescued the Minks from Jack. The first few chapters are spent learning how, while the second half reveals what happened to Sanji and Caesar who were absent when Luffy's group finally arrived..
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being one of Big Mom's combatants, Pekoms showed concern for his homeland upon seeing the destruction Jake had wrought, along with relief that his family and friends were alright, thanks to Sanji's half of the Straw Hats. In gratitude, Pekoms was going to spare them in exchange for Caesar and lie to Big Mom about killing them. Unfortunately, Capone Bege wasn't willing to deviate from the mission.
* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: After taking the Curlyhats + Caesar captive, Bege let Sanji sit at a nice table (the others are chained up on the floor), apologized for keeping them waiting, and offered Sanji food or drink; unsurprisingly, Sanji refused.

* TurtleIsland: Or rather, "Elephant Island". Zou is located on the back of a giant elephant.

-->'''Chopper''': The weapon that destroyed this country was Caesar's poison gas weapon!

-->'''Capone Bege''': The main event this time around will be a wedding ceremony. The groom will be '''the third son of the Vinsmoke family, Sanji'''. The bride will be the 35th daughter of the Charlotte family, Purin!

* InMediasRes: The crew arrives after Sanji's group rescued the Minks from Jack. The first few chapters are spent learning how.

* SurroundedByIdiots: For once, ''the entire Straw Hat crew'' deals with this when they see how incompetent Bartolomeo's crew is at sea. Not even Luffy was dumb enough to go to the Grand Line without at least having a decent navigator.

With Doflamingo defeated and Dressrosa liberated, Luffy, Law, Zoro, Usopp, Robin, and Franky head on to catch up to the rest of the Straw Hats, as well as Law's own crew. Unfortunately, Luffy and Law are now targeted by new enemies, both marines and pirates, now have Luffy in their sights, complicating their trip to Zou, an isolated country on the back of a moving elephant.

Continuing from the Dressrosa arc. With Doflamingo defeated and Dressrosa liberated. Luffy and the Straw Hats with him head on to catch up to the rest of the crew, as well as Law's own crew. Of course, this isn't going to be as easy as it seems as enemies, both marines and pirates, now have Luffy in their sights which will likely lead trouble to the group's next destination, Zou, an isolated country on the back of a moving elephant.

* DramaticIrony: Bucking, Whitebeard's self-proclaimed lover, believes the old man left behind a valuable treasure, when the audiences know from a flashback that the only treasure Whitebeard was interested in was a family.

Continuing from the Dressrosa arc, the split-in-half Straw Hats head to Zou to pick up the rest of the crew, as well as Law's own crew. Of course, this isn't going to be as easy as it seems...

* ThatsNoMoon: Zou isn't just an island, but one located on the back of a giant, ''1000-year old'' elephant roaming around the New World.
