SPOILER WARNING!!! ONE PIECE EPISODE 808 IS GOING TO BE THE DISCUSSION!!! Episode 808 starts off with the scenario as episode 807, Sanji and his family are on their way to Sanji’s marriage. Luffy and Nami end up coming across Sanji. Luffy quickly jumps onto the side of the carriage while trying to get Sanji’s attention. Sanji is struggling to think of how to react because he remembers that upon arriving to Big Mom’s country, he was handcuffed with explosive wristbands and was threatened with Zeff’s life from Sanji’s family. The reason being is the fact that Sanji doesn’t use his hands for anything except cooking. So if Sanji tries to escape his hands will be blown off. If he somehow escaped the handcuffs, Sanji’s family would assassinate Zeff. Sanji doesn’t want to risk his closest friends either, but he can’t just tell Luffy to leave him alone because Luffy is willing to risk his own life just to keep his friends by his side. So Sanji, literally, kicked Luffy off the side of the carriage and put on an alter ego to make himself sound like a backstabbing prince of the Germa 66. Luffy and Nami are confused on why Sanji would do such a thing, but they both are still trying to convince Sanji to escape. Sanji then tries to convince Luffy and Nami to leave the country for that they inferior to him and they are just unnecessary beings. Luffy doesn’t listen to Sanji said so Sanji decides to take him out by force.

Sanji’s brothers are pumped up for the fight and Nami is in tears and yells at Sanji to stop. Luffy gets launched by Sanji’s kick but he is still able to hold his ground. Luffy explains on how he doesn’t want to fight, he just wants to talk. Sanji then gets aggravated and begins repetitively kicking Luffy. Nami eventually yells at Sanji to stop so her and Luffy could leave the island but it didn’t stop Sanji. Sanji eventually gets a good kick on Luffy and makes him fly and hit a nearby boulder. Sanji braces himself for his finishing move. Sanji lights up his leg (Sanji’s foot/leg literally bursts into flames. Oda, the creator of the story, said that Sanji is able to do this because Sanji is a very compassionate guy and is able to manifest flames because of his passion.) and begins to moonwalk (Moonwalk is an ability in the world of One Piece where people are able to walk on air. In other words, double-jumping.) straight up. Sanji then starts to moonwalk straight down to gain speed on the way down. He begins to start doing flips at an intense speed and smashes Luffy’s head by the back of his leg.Luffy, for a second, was able to take the hit… then he drops.

 

Nami, in shock, believes Luffy was dead. Nami tries to wake up Luffy but nothing happens. Sanji walks away, towards the carriage, Nami follows and slaps Sanji and tells him goodbye. Sanji and his family continue their way to the marriage. While Sanji rolls away, Luffy wakes up and yells at him about how important he is to him. Luffy yells out that he knew that was all just an act and how he promises to not move from that spot. Sanji, while hearing all of this, bursts into tears and his brothers are laughing at him for it. The episode ends with flashbacks of everything Sanji and Luffy did together every since they meet.
