Chapter 127

Dorry regains consciousness, with Brogy's strike having only knocked him out. Meanwhile, Sanji receives a call from Sir Crocodile of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who is the leader of Baroque Works under the codename Mr. 0. Sanji impersonates Mr. 3 and lies that he eliminated the Straw Hats and Vivi, and Crocodile sends the Unluckies to give Sanji an Eternal Pose leading to Arabasta. Sanji defeats the Unluckies, but Crocodile tells Miss All Sunday to send Mr. 2 to assassinate Mr. 3 on his way to Arabasta.

Den Den Mushi

Brogy weeps over the loss of Dorry, causing a deluge of tears to spill onto the ground. However, Dorry then sits up, having only been knocked out by Brogy's strike. They guess this was likely due to their weapons having been severely dulled by their century-long clash. Brogy tearfully embraces Dorry, but after exchanging a few words, the two giants almost get into another fight, appalling Nami.

Meanwhile, after finding out that Mr. 0 is calling him, Sanji recalls Vivi's words and realizes that he is speaking to Sir Crocodile of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Thinking Sanji is Mr. 3, Crocodile orders him to give him a status report. Sanji deduces that Mr. 3 was sent to go after Vivi and pretends to be Mr. 3, telling Crocodile that Vivi and the Straw Hats have been eliminated. Crocodile says that the Unluckies will arrive to give him a package containing an Eternal Pose to Arabasta. He tells Sanji to come to him there with Miss Goldenweek, as it is time for them to carry out the most crucial step of their plan. Right then, the Unluckies show up at Mr. 3's house, and upon realizing what had happened, they prepare to attack Sanji. He panics momentarily as he dodges Miss Friday's bullets and Mr. 13's blades, but he quickly defeats Mr. 13 by kicking him backwards into a wall. He then jumps up to Miss Friday, dodging her shots as he catches her head between his feet and slams her into the ground.

Hearing the fighting, Crocodile asks what is going on, and Sanji lies that one of the Straw Hats had unexpectedly survived but he finished them off. Crocodile dehydrates a flower he is holding as he expresses anger that Sanji's initial report was false. Sanji assures him that there is no longer any issue. Crocodile says that this will be the last time he contacts Mr. 3 through Den Den Mushi as he hangs up. Immediately afterwards, he tells Miss All Sunday to have Mr. 2 lie in wait between Little Garden and Arabasta to assassinate Mr. 3. As he examines the unconscious Unluckies, Sanji spots the Eternal Pose to Arabasta. Meanwhile, on Smoker's ship, some Marines report to Smoker that they have intercepted a peculiar call.

Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy IV

In the opening, Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy are entering the Krusty Krab for lunch, but Squidward and Barnacle Boy have an argument. Squidward, unimpressed with the duo's heroic career, casually mocks them, causing SpongeBob to realize they are in the restaurant and go into an excited frenzy, eagerly requesting their autograph. The heroes run away from him, accidentally leaving Mermaid Man's belt inside. SpongeBob finds it and tries to give it back, but they drive away in the invisible boatmobile before he can do so.

SpongeBob decides to wear the belt and play with it, thinking that he could hold on to it until after work. He discovers the "Small Ray" and starts shrinking the items in the kitchen. At the register, Squidward is suddenly startled by the commotion in the kitchen, which causes him to mess up a customer's order by accident, resulting in a punch in the face. This prompts Squidward to enter the kitchen and ask SpongeBob where the ruckus is coming from, only to see almost everything shrunken. Squidward at that moment discovers that SpongeBob has acquired Mermaid Man's belt. Assuming that SpongeBob has stolen the belt, Squidward plans to do the right thing and call Mermaid Man in order to inform him of the situation. Worried that his reputation with the heroes will deteriorate, SpongeBob panics and shrinks Squidward with the belt after SpongeBob fearfully tells Squidward that if Mermaid Man finds out, he will be kicked out of his fan club for good. Squidward demands SpongeBob to return him to normal size, but he has no idea how. Due to the belt's complicated and excessive features, he instead accidentally puts Squidward through increasingly ridiculous and excruciating torments. Squidward suggests getting Mermaid Man's help, but SpongeBob still refuses, stating someone else must be able to help him and not wanting Mermaid Man to find out.

SpongeBob goes to Patrick for help, to no avail. Patrick mistakes Squidward for an action figure and starts playing with him, even after being told that he is the real Squidward. Patrick then suggests turning the "M" upside down, setting the belt to W for "Wumbo," a meaningless term seemingly coined by Patrick. SpongeBob questions the existence of this word, but Patrick responds by conjugating "Wumbo" and combining it with a handful of other suffixes. SpongeBob is finally convinced by this idea and decides to test it out, but then he accidentally shrinks Patrick. Squidward orders SpongeBob to take him and Patrick to Mermaid Man for help, but SpongeBob still refuses as he does not want Mermaid Man to find out, and places him and Patrick in a jar. Seconds later, citizens start coming to and greeting SpongeBob, prompting him to shrink them so that they cannot tell Mermaid Man that he has gained possession of the belt.

Eventually, SpongeBob has shrunken everyone in Bikini Bottom (Except Pearl and Mr. Krabs) and crams them all into the jar. When his mother tells him he needs to own up to his mistakes, he then realizes he shrunk Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy as well, and he tearfully apologizes to them. Mermaid Man accepts his apology and trudges through his senility to remember a story about the first time he used the belt, until everyone interrupts him and demands that he tell SpongeBob how to return them to normal size. After thinking for a moment, Mermaid Man asks SpongeBob if he set the belt to "Wumbo," which makes everyone furious that Mermaid Man does not remember how to restore them to normal size either.

The citizens then burst out of the jar, form an angry mob, and, after coming together to form the words, "GET SPONGEBOB!", they venture into SpongeBob's body to attack his bones and other internal organs as revenge for shrinking them. This goes on for a while until everyone says aloud that SpongeBob is too big to be destructible, which gives him the idea to shrink Bikini Bottom before shrinking himself.

The citizens are pleased with this, as they see no discernible difference from their previous lives to living in a miniature Bikini Bottom. As the citizens celebrate, a bus pulls up and Plankton steps out, returning to Bikini Bottom from a vacation. He is surprised that the city is now smaller than him as the episode closes.
