"Run, Koby! A Desperate Escape Strategy!" is the 1113th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
With Perona's help, Koby is able to escape. After freeing the Blackbeard Pirates' slaves, he attempts to act as a decoy to help them escape, but is spotted and soon cornered. Just as he is about to be killed, the island is attacked by the Marine unit led by Garp.
Long Summary[]
Perona breaks into the Blackbeard Pirates' prison on Hachinosu, intending to rescue her captured captain, Moria. She takes the cell keys from the guards and frees Koby, and in exchange Koby would free the other prisoners including Moria. One of Blackbeard's ten captains, Avalo Pizarro, orders the Blackbeard Pirates to capture the escaped prisoners alive, not killing them. However, with Koby out of prison, the Cross Guild assigns him a bounty of five stars (amounting to 500 million Bellies), so a mob of bounty hunters searches the town to hunt down Koby.
Koby decides to separate from the other prisoners to lure the bounty hunters away from them. As he runs, he reflects on his conversation with Blackbeard shortly after being captured. Blackbeard stated his intentions to form a deal with the World Government to return Koby in exchange for Hachinosu being admitted into the World Government. Kuzan advised Blackbeard against trying to form this deal, as Koby is a member of SWORD (meaning he no longer directly works for the Marines). However, Blackbeard insisted on his plan.
As the bounty hunters chase Koby, they face a Marine invasion. First, they are attacked by a group of three golems, who each possess Logia-like intangibility as they are made of clay. Then, they are attacked by SWORD member Kujaku, who is able to move buildings with her whip. Lastly, Garp and Tashigi watch from a ship off the coast, preparing their own attack.
