Summary:
Ace is introduced and Smoker appears to be in Arabasta.
After days of hardship, the crew finally reaches Arabasta. Before approaching, he prepares a countermeasure against Mr. 2’s power by wearing a sign of friendship on his arm. At Nanohana Port in Arabasta, a group of people become interested in an unconscious guy in a restaurant. This strange fellow who fell asleep while eating is none other than Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard’s second division commander. This reveals an old adversary: Smoker, who also seems to be in town in search of the Straw Hat Pirates. Ace is looking for his little brother.
