"One Piece" episode 776 titled "Saying Goodbye and Descending from the Elephant - Setting Out to Take Back Sanji!" marks the end of the Zou Arc. Straw Hats and Hearts Pirates made an alliance with the Minks and the Kozuki Samurais to take on two of the yonkos. The alliance was broken down into four groups with each of them having an important task.
Through the adventure Luffy and his crew, they met new friends and alliances that grown considerably especially when they entered the New World. First they encountered Trafalgar Law and the Kozuki Samurais in Punk Hazard and lately, the humanoid Minks are added into the circle.
According to Anime News Network, the alliance now consists of at least 30 named characters with each of them playing a role in Oda's grand plot. In the previous episode, they decided to group themselves into four where Luffy, Nami, Brook, Chopper and Pedro will go to the Whole Cake Island to execute a stealth rescue mission for Sanji. Law together with the samurai and the rest of the Straw Hats will head to the Wano country to prepare in fighting Kaido.
The third group was led by the Mink, Nekomamushi to find Marco and seek his help in the coming fight against Kaido. The last group with Inuarashi and Momonosuke stayed in Zou to ensure that there will be someone left to defend the island in case of another attack.
Before they part ways Usopp upgraded Sorcery Clima-Tact upon Nami's request which gave birth to its fourth modification as reported by Sleeping Geeks. The new version is short orange staff with white vertical stripes and round knobs on each end. Usopp and Franky used all their knowledge gained during the time skip to incorporate the entire Weatherian gadget arsenal except the 'Magic Wand'.
At the end of the episode, we got to see a short teaser showing the honorary Straw Hat member Nefeltari Vivi making her first appearance after the time skip. Together with her father and Carue, they are heading to Government Reverie where leaders of different kingdoms gather every six years. Being mentioned before numerous times, this event will surely mean that something big is brewing in "One Piece".
