Ep 96. Erumalu, the City of Green and the Kung Fu Dugongs!

After narrowly escaping the clutches of the Marines, the Straw Hat Pirates find themselves in a new and strange city called Erumalu, which is famous for its lush greenery and martial-arts practicing dugongs. The crew is quickly split up as each member goes their own way to explore the new locale.

Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper end up in the middle of an intense battle between two rival dugong schools, one of which is led by a legendary champion named Wapoloo. The trio is swept up in the fighting and is eventually taken captive by Wapoloo himself.

Meanwhile, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji find themselves in the town square, where they witness the city's elders struggle to make a decision about a mysterious force that threatens their peaceful way of life. The group learns that the force in question is a gigantic monster known as the "Golden Lion" that is causing widespread destruction in the nearby forests.

As the crew tries to figure out a solution to their problems, they discover that the two issues are in fact related. The Golden Lion is actually a creature created by the warring dugong schools in a bid to gain supremacy over one another. Together, the Straw Hats devise a plan to defeat the monster and bring peace to the city.

With the help of their newfound dugong allies and the skills they've honed over their journey, the Straw Hats face off against the Golden Lion in an epic battle that spans the city. In the end, they emerge victorious and are hailed as heroes by the grateful townsfolk.

As they prepare to set sail once more, the Straw Hats are left with new friends, valuable experience, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty and mysteries of the world they inhabit.
