Ep 317. A Girl in Search of Her Yagara! Great Search in the City of Water!

Luffy and his crew arrive at the city of water, Water 7, and begin to look for a shipwright to repair their ship, the Going Merry. While exploring the city, they encounter a young girl named Abi who is searching for her pet Yagara, a type of sea creature that resembles a large, colorful slug.

Abi tells the Straw Hat Pirates that her Yagara has gone missing and she has been searching for it for days. She offers to pay them if they can help her find it. Luffy agrees to help the girl and the crew splits up to search for the Yagara.

As they search the city, they come across several shipwrights who refuse to work on the Going Merry, stating that it is beyond repair. The crew becomes discouraged until they meet a skilled shipwright named Franky who takes a liking to their ship and agrees to take a look at it.

Meanwhile, Abi's search for her Yagara leads her to an underground auction where rare and exotic creatures are sold to the highest bidder. She discovers that her Yagara has been captured and is being sold at the auction.

Abi tries to free her Yagara but is caught by the auctioneers and held captive. The Straw Hat Pirates learn of Abi's predicament and decide to rescue her and her Yagara from the auction house.

In an epic battle, the crew faces off against the auctioneers and their powerful bodyguard, Nero. The battle is intense and several members of the crew are injured, but they are ultimately victorious and rescue Abi and her Yagara.

After the battle, Franky examines the Going Merry and confirms that it is beyond repair. The crew is devastated but Franky offers to build them a new ship. The crew agrees to his offer and a new adventure begins.

In the end, Abi is reunited with her Yagara and expresses her gratitude to the Straw Hat Pirates for helping her. The crew sets sail on their new ship, ready for whatever challenges lie ahead.
