Summary:
Popping his head out of Oima’s hair, Sogeking realizes that he missed mounting the royal bull and worries that he will be left behind. He then notices how incredibly powerful the boatmen are. He thinks about running away, but snaps out of it, telling himself that he’s a man, how he disguised himself to join the crew, and how Robin went out to protect them. He devises a plan to disguise himself as a government agent and sneak past the crowd by blending in. He then realizes that a large amount of water is forming around him. At first they think it is a flood, but it turns out that Oimo is crying. The giant told Sogeking that he was humiliated because he and Kashii had failed in their fiftieth year of work, calling themselves a disgrace to Elbaf and apologizing to his bosses. Sogeking heard Elbaf and asked Oimo if he really came from the mythical island. At first, Oimo was angry with Sogeking for eavesdropping, but then he told him the story.
Oimo and Kashii were pirates a hundred years ago. They sailed all over the world. He then said that their two captains began a life and death fight on the island. All the crew went home to wait for them, but not one returned. After fifty years, he and Kashii set out to retrieve their captains. However, before they could find them, the giants were captured by marines who forced information from them. The marines then told them that their captains were being held in Impel Down. The World Government stated that the pirates would be released from prison if Oimo and Kashii worked as guards for Enies Lobby for a hundred years, and they could all return to Elbaf together. However, since they had failed in their duty as guards, this could not happen again. Oimo starts to cry again, but Sogeking interrupts, saying that the story sounds funny. At first Oimo thought Sogeking was insulting him, but Sogeking said he meant it funny as in weird. Sogeking told him that he met the captains, who were none other than Dorry and Brogy, who were still fighting at Little Garden. At first, Oimo doesn’t believe this, but Sogeking offers to tell more about them, such as their weapons and the way they laugh. Sogeking then tells Oima that what the government told him was a lie.
In the Enies Lobby Courthouse, someone is told how the Straw Hat Pirates defeated Houbantai and the Ten Thousand Guards. The person speaking is a large three-headed man who has been berating a group of marines and government agents. The soldiers try to explain, but the three-headed man tells them that their words are useless. One of the heads yells that they have one last option and orders “them” to be called. The soldiers are shocked by this order. The third head reinforces order. The male soldiers also said that they had lost sight of Luffy. Unconcerned, the man says the time for justice has come and orders the release of the righteous eleven jurors. The soldier tries to protest once more, saying that the city will be destroyed.
Back on the main island, Gomorrah dodges mortar fire. Zambai realizes that the main road they are on is bad as they are being attacked from all sides and decides to change the route. Nami calls the child Den Den Mushi from Kokoro. He tells them that Paulie’s map shows no way to the Tower of Justice from the courthouse. Sanji remembers seeing it, he said he wanted to ask about it. Kokoro explains that a lever must be pulled in each tower on either side of the drawbridge in order for them to cross. Chimney then tells Nami that she saw Luffy climb onto the roof of the courthouse and that there was some sort of fight going on. Nami thanked her and Kokoro told her to leave the Den Den Mushi on so they would know what was going on. After the transmission, Zambai told the Straw Hats to go to the roof of the courthouse to meet Luffy, and the Franky Family splits into two groups and lowers the drawbridge. Before reaching the courthouse, Gomorrah is attacked by several massive figures using iron balls attached to chains. When Gomorrah fell, the soldiers cheered. The Straw Hats are soon surrounded and cut off from the courthouse.
At the Tower of Justice, Franky tells Robin how lucky she is to have friends to come to her rescue. He then pointed out that he’s not sulking just because his friends aren’t coming to save him.
At the main gate, Oimo and Kashii woke up. The soldiers cheer and order them to attack, which worries the boatmen as they don’t have the strength to fight them. Instead, the giants attack the soldiers, angry that they have been lied to for fifty years. Kashii says that they will rampage until their anger is satisfied and asks Sogeking to join them. Sogeking then says to give the signal to counterattack and head to where their friends are.
