The Straw Hats reach Sabaody — the last island before the New World. Here they witness the horrific reality of the World Government: the Celestial Dragons (World Nobles) who buy and enslave humans. When a Celestial Dragon shoots Hatchan, Luffy punches the Noble in the face, triggering a Marine Admiral response. They meet the eleven Supernovas — the worst generation of pirates. But nothing prepares them for what comes: Admiral Kizaru, Sentomaru, and an army of Pacifista overwhelm them. Then Bartholomew Kuma appears and teleports each Straw Hat to a different corner of the world. Luffy watches helplessly as his entire crew disappears one by one. He falls to his knees: 'I couldn't save a single one of them.' The crew is separated for two years.
