Summary:
Vivi, Rebecca, and Shirahoshi continue their conversation about Luffy. Sai is reacquainted with Rebecca and Lee. Vivi has an awkward encounter with Wapol before having a pleasant encounter with Dalton and Kureha.
Meanwhile, a mysterious figure enters the chamber wearing a large straw hat.
Vivi, Rebecca, and Shirahoshi discuss their experiences with Luffy. Dalton and Kureha appear with Levely from the Sakura Kingdom, but also Wapol, who has taken over another kingdom. Vivi recalls her adventure on Drum Island.
The Straw Hats had previously stopped at Drum Island due to Nami contracting an incapacitating disease. Drum Island was sacked by Blackbeard before the Straw Hats arrived, only for their own King Wapol to leave the land. After the arrival of the Straw Hats, Wapol returned and Luffy had to stop Wapol from taking back the throne. Luffy defeated Wapolo and sent him away to a distant land.
Vivi also talks about Chopper and how he became a doctor for the straw pirates. Chopper was first mentored by the quack doctor Hiriluk, but since Hiriluk died, Chopper went to Kureha to continue his medical training. After Luffy defeated Wapol, he invited Chopper to join his crew.
In the present, in the underwater prison of Impel Down, the former warrior Doflamingo is chained to the floor of the lowest level, named Eternal Hell. Doflamingo claims to know the secret of Mary Geoise’s holy land.
Meanwhile, at Mary Geoise’s Pangea Castle, a mysterious hooded figure is holding Luffy’s wanted poster and approaching a giant straw hat.
