Ep 745. Sons' Cups! the Straw Hat Fleet Is Formed!

As the Straw Hat crew sails towards their next destination, they encounter Bartolomeo, a fanatical fan of Luffy who has stowed away on their ship. Bartolomeo reveals that he has gathered a group of powerful pirates and has formed his own fleet in order to pledge his loyalty to Luffy and follow him no matter what.

Luffy is at first hesitant to accept Bartolomeo's offer, as he is already burdened with the responsibility of taking care of his own crew. However, his resolve is strengthened when he learns that a former member of the Donquixote family, Bellamy, has recently pledged his loyalty to the crew as well.

Bartolomeo introduces Luffy to his fellow captains, each of whom have unique and impressive qualities that make them valuable additions to the Straw Hat Fleet. They also reveal their own reasons for joining the fleet, ranging from wanting to follow the Pirate King to seeking vengeance against the World Government.

As the group sets sail towards their next destination, tensions run high as some of the captains clash with each other. Luffy steps in to quell the arguments and reminds everyone that they are all working towards the same goal: to become the strongest and most successful pirate crew in the world.

Meanwhile, the World Government has taken notice of the formation of the Straw Hat Fleet and begins to mobilize their forces to try and stop them. Admiral Fujitora, who has been tasked with hunting down Luffy, reflects on his own sense of justice and whether or not he should continue to carry out the Government's orders.

Sons' Cups! the Straw Hat Fleet Is Formed! is a thrilling and action-packed episode that sets the stage for the Straw Hat's continued journey towards becoming the strongest pirate crew in the world. With new allies and enemies on the horizon, the crew must band together and prove their strength in order to achieve their goals.
