"One Piece" episode 776 may not have aired yet, but fans are already gushing on what comes next for Luffy and his team now that the crisis has finally been forestalled and Zunisha is exhibiting fast recuperation after Chopper's medicinal treatment. Titled "Descending the Elephant — Setting Sail for Sanji's Retrieval!" the episode will seemingly follow the manga series' storyline of chapter 822.

Momonosuke says he wants to stay behind on Zou Island to communicate with Zunisha and potentially learn more about the Kouzuki clan. Kin'emon tries to persuade him against the plan with a reminder that some are waiting for their return in Wano Country, but Inuarashi will also linger some more on the island to keep Zou safe from Kaido. 

Kin'emon suggests that they will temporarily split into four groups. Luffy, together with Nami, Brook, Chopper, Pedro and Pekoms, will rescue Sanji, who is in Whole Cake Island. Nekomamushi's team will search for Marco the Phoenix. Kin'emon's team will be accompanied by Zoro and Law to Wano to help them recruit more warriors to aid them in their cause. Inuarashi, on the other hand, will remain in Zou with Momonosuke. They discuss how the teams will communicate during their separation, potentially using wild forest snails with the help of Franky's expertise, since the Mink Tribe did not utilize Den Den Mushis.

On the outskirts of the Whale Forest residential district, Luffy screams when he sees Pekoms' wrecked house, only to find him with his turtle shell activated. Pekoms expresses annoyance at his lack of privacy as he transforms into his normal shape. They then run off to start their journey in saving Sanji.

In a 34-second teaser, fans are given a glimpse  at one of the Straw Hat Pirates' earlier allies, Nefeltari Vivi of Alabasta, leaving the kingdom in a very good mood with her father, Chaka and Carue. Their destination remains unknown.

"One Piece" episode 776 will air on Saturday, Feb. 11, at 1:30 p.m. Japan time on Fuji TV.
