"A Great Sensation! Sanji's Special Soba!" is the 920th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
Sanji tangles with some gang members who disrupt his soba business and learns that one of his customers has friends in high places.
Long Summary[]
Sanji becomes popular from his soba shop, but he attracts some unwanted rivals. Members of the Kyoshiro Family approach him and demand that he pays to run his business. When Sanji refuses, the thugs start to attack the shop and terrorize a little girl, knocking her bowl of soba onto the floor. Strangely, tears appear in the girl's eyes but she laughs.
Sanji is greatly angered by the wasted soba. They quickly begin to fight, and Sanji easily emerges victorious. Franky also joins in and defeats a thug. Sanji then force-feeds the wasted soba to one of the fighters.
After the fighters have been tied up, the little girl appears. She introduces herself as Otoko, a name the Straw Hats find humorous because it means "male." She also reveals that she works as a kamuro (a courtesan's attendant) and worked hard to pay for the soba. A woman chimes in and explains that there is a single oiran (courtesan) named Komurasaki. She also reveals that Robin had been invited to Orochi's mansion.
At Udon's excavation camp, Luffy becomes a celebrity among the prisoners for beating up Dobon. He also gives some food tickets to an old man that he saved earlier. Then, Raizo appears, having snuck into the prison. He reveals that he knows the location of the key to Luffy's Seastone handcuffs, but it is kept under tight security. Raizo disappears and goes to steal the key.
Back at the Flower Capital, Komurasaki walks up to Orochi's mansion.
