Captain Kuro is on the prowl, and Zoro overcomes his demons.
At the end of the last episode, we learned just a touch more about Usopp , and why as a child he had the tendency to run through the streets of his village, alerting everyone to the arrival of pirates that don't exist: with his own father Yasopp out at sea pursuing a life of piracy, he held fast to the belief that his father's return meant his mother's health would improve.
Helmeppo has enough of this, and tells Kuro they're actually looking for Luffy. While Kuro admits he's seen Luffy, and that he's actually in the house, he shuts them out until Buchi and Sham can bring him out front, presumably to keep the neon-blue poison a secret. They deliver Luffy to the Marines, as Koby tells Usopp he has no proof to pursue an investigation of Kuro, though likely in an effort to try and help other people, Koby attempts to ask him a few more questions.
Buchi and Kuro find Sham in the kitchen, where Sham reveals that Nami heard everything. The clock strikes midnight at last, making Kaya officially 18 years old and able to sign everything over to Kuro. He orders Buchi and Sham to put the house on lockdown, shuttering all the doors and windows to trap everyone inside. As Kaya finally realizes how serious the threat really is, Nami finds her and Usopp hiding, and tells Kaya she's been being poisoned for years.
Zoro's response to this is by far the best change the series makes to this first arc of the story. The Manga treats Kuina's statement as fact, a heartbreaking plot point for those of us who gave up on sports or saw our friends give up on sports for the same reasons Kuina did. Instead, the series has Zoro rightfully point out that while this is her belief, that doesn't mean it's true, and her concerns are nothing additional training can't overcome.
Luffy begs Koby to let him go back and help Kaya, and while the appeal to Koby's better nature works, Helmeppo doesn't have a better nature, and tries to shoot Luffy. Fortunately, Zoro shows up, knocks out Helmeppo, and he and Luffy leave Koby behind and head back to the house together, where Kuro has caught up to the rest of the gang at last.
