Summary:
After talking with Mr. 0 and meeting the unfortunates, Sanji gains the eternal pose for Arabasta. The giants are alive and well and their friendship is safe as the Straw Hats are about to leave the Little Garden. The crew leaves Little Garden and sails to Arabasta, with a little help from their giant friends in escaping the island’s strange guardian, a large fish.
Once Sanji realizes he’s talking to Mr. 0, he pretends to be Mr. 3 and convinces the Warlord that he took out Vivi and her Straw Hat entourage. During the conversation, Crocodile messengers, an otter, and her partner, a vulture, called the Unlucky Ones, arrive to deliver Mr. 3 the Eternal Pose leading to the Arabast. They attack Sanji, but he kills them. To justify the noisy disturbance, Sanji tells Mr. 0 that one of the Straw Hats was still alive. Crocodile tells him to return to Arabasta, and after the conversation, orders Miss All-Sunday to order Mr. 2 to apprehend and eliminate Mr. 3 on the way. As Brogy mourns Dorry’s apparent death and creates a rain of tears, Dorry suddenly wakes up much to everyone’s shock. Dorry concludes that after a hundred years, Brogy’s ax has dulled and merely darkened him. The crew set sail using the Eternal Position to guide them. Dorry and Brogy see them off, and to thank them, they use their worn weapons to kill the Island Eater, who is trying to feed the Going Merry.
