While Harucon 2017 was being held in Israel, Nagoya Women's Marathon 2017 was taking place in Japan. The latter was the reason why the release date of "One Piece" episode 780 titled "A Hungry Front! Luffy and the Navy Rookies!" was moved from March 12 to March 19.

In "A Hungry Front! Luffy and the Navy Rookies!," the Straw Hat Pirates will be met with an original filler arc. This will center on Luffy and his crew as they travel to rescue Sanji, according to Weekly Shōnen Jump, as cited by Comic Book.

Luffy's insatiable appetite gets in the crew's way as they run out of food during their journey in "A Hungry Front! Luffy and the Navy Rookies!" The team sneaks into a Marine base to steal supplies, but Luffy is stopped when three new Marines from Aokiji's crew halt him.

It is also likely that Luffy's crew will encounter more problems. Aside from the scarcity of food, they may also suffer from the scorching heat from the sun.

Other fans of the anime series predict that Luffy will catch a fish that is so big it would be more than enough for everyone in his crew. But it seems that their bad luck does not end there.

If the predictions are correct, Luffy will eat the big fish's skin, which they will later on learn is not meant to be eaten. Waiting for someone to help them get the medical help Luffy needs, the team will soon spot Germa 66 ship from a distance, the predictions claim.

Kenji Yokoyama was the animation director of "One Piece" episode 780, which was written by Hirohiko Uesaka. The episode director was Satoshi Itō, who also did the storyboard.
