Chapter 149

Chopper fights Chessmarimo.

RUMBLE

Chopper is determined to defend the honor of the pirate flag. To defeat Chessmarimo, he uses a Rumble Ball, a drug which will increase his power for 3 minutes. Chessmarimo mocks Chopper as he watches the reindeer's 3 Zoan's transformations. He laughs that none of the modes are enough to defeat him. However, he is surprised when Chopper is able to avoid is attacks, thanks to two additional transformations. Chopper informs him that the Rumble Ball allows him to have four supplementary combinations beside the standard three, making a total of seven transformations.

Also, when in Brain Point, Chopper is able to scan his opponent to detect weaknesses. He quickly discovers that Chessmarimo's chin is his weak point and delivers a powerful kick in the chin and knocks him out.

However, during the fight, distracted by the reindeer's demonstration, Luffy did not notice that Wapol had escaped.

Born Again Krabs

One day, it is closing time at the Krusty Krab, and Squidward is obviously delighted at being free of work, while a sad SpongeBob is not. He soon finds an old, blackened, moldy Krabby Patty under the grill, and he tries to throw it out. However, this triggers an alarm, and Mr. Krabs will not let him throw out the patty, as serving it will give him 5.2 cents, and he orders SpongeBob "not to make another patty until that one is sold."

The next day, Squidward is informed of the decision, and reluctantly holds out the rancid patty to the customer. The customer takes one sniff of the moldy patty, screams in horror, and backflips out the door.

Sure enough, this results in the Krusty Krab losing many weeks' worth of business. Mr. Krabs wonders if it is the new place mats, but Squidward angrily tells his boss it is the old rotten patty he keeps trying to serve to everyone. The stubborn Mr. Krabs dismisses such a notion and has SpongeBob bring it out. SpongeBob reveals that he has caged it since it became sentient enough to growl at him like an animal. Mr. Krabs decides to prove his views by eating the patty, though before he eats it he sees an ambulance passing the Krusty Krab (mostly because the people already know he will get sick from eating it). He eats the spoiled moldy patty, and he is promptly rushed to the hospital minutes later while now green. As he is being wheeled in, Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob to wrap up the rest of the patty because he still thinks it is worth eating, while the latter worries over his boss.

Soon in the hospital, the Flying Dutchman appears to condemn him in Davy Jones' locker for his cheap actions. Mr. Krabs falsely claims his name is "Harold Flower," but the Dutchman gets confirmation from the nurse that he is lying. When they arrive at Davy Jones' locker, Mr. Krabs begs to be freed. The Dutchman agrees to do this, as long as he will always be generous from then on, and Mr. Krabs promises.

At the Krusty Krab (which went bankrupt and ended up going out of business due to the amount of business lost and Krabs' absence), Squidward is going through his boss' belongings while a tearful SpongeBob believes he will come back, though his co-worker is not convinced by the doctor's word. At that moment, Mr. Krabs returns to the Krusty Krab and his employees are shocked to see him again. SpongeBob celebrates as Squidward is deadpan, but Mr. Krabs promises to be less cheap and more generous.

Re-opening his restaurant, Mr. Krabs begins to treat everyone nicer with the "employee lounge" and free refills. But soon, SpongeBob and Squidward become concerned when Mr. Krabs is not the least bit fazed when he receives a $10,000 credit card bill and does not have any money in the cash register to pay for it. When they tell Mr. Krabs how weird he has been acting, he states that he is having a nightmare and that there is nothing to worry about, much to their shock and confusion. After Squidward and SpongeBob tell him otherwise of getting out of the hospital, he realizes that the whole thing was real and starts to read the hospital bill and started to scream while his head breaks and grows two times in a row. He now becomes a cheapskate once again and revokes all the free things he gave to the customers; from their soda refills to their toys, rewinding the TV to erase someone's memory, and threatening to rip off one lucky customer's arm over a penny so that his luck runs out. The Dutchman then returns to take him back to the locker for eternity, but SpongeBob sticks up for his boss and bets that Mr. Krabs is generous, and he would pick him over all the money in The Dutchman's pocket. The Dutchman takes up the deal and offers Mr. Krabs the choice between SpongeBob and the money he has in his pocket, 62 cents; Mr. Krabs promptly takes the money, sending a heartbroken SpongeBob to Davy Jones' locker. Squidward is shocked and outraged at Mr. Krabs for selling SpongeBob's soul for 62 cents, and chews him out for selling him out despite the fact he stuck up for him, and that he should be ashamed of himself. Mr. Krabs sees the error of his ways and rejects the filthy money, because he learns a lesson of what it's like to run the Krusty Krab without SpongeBob: Without his best fry cook, he will never make anymore money, and he begs for SpongeBob back. The Flying Dutchman then comes back with SpongeBob, not because of Mr. Krabs' repenting, but because SpongeBob was too annoying due to his talkative behavior, and he believes that not letting Mr. Krabs have SpongeBob in his life would be "a fate worse than death."

Mr. Krabs apologizes to SpongeBob for his petty act, but the latter dismisses it as he would do the same, but promptly denies it, and the crew laughs. At the end of the episode as a post-credit scene, the Flying Dutchman is seen reading near the locker when the phone rings. The caller is revealed to be SpongeBob, who continues to brag the Flying Dutchman again with his consistent chatting.

I cried watching the One Piece anime's version of the Bell-mère story. Good music, acting and production. Anime is so unfair.
