Episode 08: Who Will Win? Showdown Between the True Powers of the Devil Fruit!
Summary: Buggy destroys Luffy’s straw hat and audience learns of Buggy’s connection to the great pirate Shanks.
In this episode the first scene is shown from an angle from above. It’s similar to a bird’s pint of view. I also heard some chirping sound when this scene starts.

Furthermore, another sound that this episode has is the sound of wind blowing through the leaves, it creates a nostalgic kind of feeling. The sounds of little actions also seems to be exaggerated as well. For example, when Kaya was eating the sound of the fork tapping the plate was heard very
