One Piece chapter 213

One Piece chapter 213 is the third bathing scene in the One Piece manga series.

Summary
After recovering from the battle that the Strawhat Pirates had to save the Alabasta Kingdom from the Baroque Works, The crew was welcomed to bathe in the Royal Public Bath in the Palace after their banquet. On the males side is Nefertari Cobra along with Igaram introduces Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Roronoa Zoro and Eyelashes to the baths. Luffy and Usopp race each other to the Bathing Pool but then both end up Slipping. While Luffy and Ussop are seen standing in the bathwater Splash Fighting, Cobra is seen wearing a Towel and sitting on the opposite side of the rim while Zoro is outside of the bath with Chopper washing his back with a Sponge. Luffy and Usopp mock Zoro by standing under the Waterfall Shower and pretend to train just like him. Sanji goes to Igaram and asks him where the womens side is which angrily doesn't tell him but Cobra triumphantly points in the direction telling him.

Over on the girls side, Nami is getting her back scrubbed by Nefertari Vivi who tells her that she wonders that if there is a ship out there that has a big bath. When Nami looks over and sees all of the males Peeping over the wall, she gets up and covers herself with a towel and faces them and drops her towel on purpose in front of them saying "Happiness Punch" stunning all of the males giving them nose bleeds and causing them all to fall back down saying that she will be charging each and every one of them for the show she gave them. Nami and Vivi then get into the bathing pool together and while Nami is resting her arm on the side tells Vivi that they will be leaving tomorrow.

Back on the males side, all of the guys are sitting down outside of the bathing pool except for Zoro who is inside of it. Cobra then bows down to the Strawhats thanking them for saving his kingdom and claiming that even though he is a king those ranks don't exist in the bath.

Adaptation Differences
In the manga, some of the male characters are seen sitting crossed legged on the ground completely naked with only a black shade covering their privates while in the anime they were wearing towels in that moment. Nami and Vivi have slightly more bathing screen time in the anime adaptation where the scene ends on both of them in the bathwater listening to the conversation going on in the males side. In the anime, Nami lowers her towel more when she does her "Happiness Punch".
