Summary:
Crocodile discovers that the Straw Hat Pirates are still alive, but thanks to Mr. 2, he is able to take countermeasures to prevent Vivi and the rebels from meeting. Meanwhile, Vivi and Luffy start arguing.
An old face interrupts the meeting of baroque works. It is none other than Mr. 3 who sneaked behind the other members from the Spiders Cafe. He came to get another chance to defeat the Straw Hats. Crocodile is surprised by this revelation, as after the call from Little Garden, he assumed all the Straw Hat Pirates and Vivi were dead, unaware that it was Sanji who answered the call and lied to him. Mr. 2 confirms that the straw pirates and Vivi are alive since he met them on the way to Arabasta. With the help of his power, they are able to take pictures of the Straw Hats (leaving out Sanji) and begin taking countermeasures to prevent Vivi from meeting the rebel leader Koza. Disappointed with Mr. 3, the crocodile, instead of giving him a second chance, dries him up and feeds him to Bananawani.
Meanwhile, Luffy and Vivi’s argument intensifies. Luffy finds her naive in wanting no one to die. Distraught, Vivi and Luffy engage in a fight until Luffy reveals his true intention: he wants Vivi to risk the lives of her friends with her so that he can defeat the Crocodile who is responsible for this situation.
