Summary:
Hancock and the Kuja Pirates, along with Rayleigh and Shakuyaku, reflect on how they repelled the Marine and Blackbeard Pirate invasion of Amazon Lily. After being subdued by Blackbeard, Hancock attempted to make a peace deal with him, agreeing to reverse the petrification inflicted on his pirates if he relented. However, Blackbeard stubbornly refuses and attempts to kill her, believing that Boa Hancock will petrify everyone the moment she is no longer under the influence of Yami Yami no Mi.
However, Rayleigh appears on the island and intervenes, intimidating Blackbeard into submitting to Haoshoku Haki. Rayleigh oversees the deal and forces both the Marines and the Blackbeard Pirates to leave. However, it turns out that Koby was kidnapped by Blackbeard shortly after they left. Currently, the Kuja Pirates fear the Marine Seraphim who have left the conflict unscathed. They also notice that one of the Seraphim bears a striking resemblance to Hancock in her childhood.
In the Kingdom of Kamabakka, members of the Revolutionary Army fear for Sabo’s safety after a newspaper accuses them of assassinating King Nefertari of Cobra and kidnapping Vivi. However, Sabo calls them on Den Den Mushi and confirms that he is alive. Meanwhile, on the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hat Pirates mourn Cobra’s death and express concern for Vivi’s safety, but doubt Sabo’s involvement given that the Revolutionary Army never attacked the Monarch. Although most of the members intend to save Vivi, Zoro is against the idea, saying that it is still too early to act and Vivi needs to fend for herself for now.
Luffy rests aboard the ship and reflects on the brotherly oath he made with Ace and Sabo. He then reveals to his crew members the end of his dream, an ambition even greater than becoming a pirate king. Although it is not revealed, each of the Straw Hats reacts with confusion, with Usopp believing that Luffy’s dream is impossible, while Franky and Chopper are impressed and support the idea.
