Long Summary[]
The Straw Hats recognize Drake as one of the Tobiroppo, remembering him from the bathhouse incident. Although they are suspicious of him, Luffy accepts him into the alliance. Still, Zoro battles him, still untrusting of him. While the samurai protect the Straw Hats, they advance forward. Usopp and Nami are chased by Page One and Ulti, and Luffy and Sanji are attacked by Apoo's sound attacks. They cover their ears to evade the attacks.
Apoo summons Hatcha to defeat the Straw Hats. Hatcha is then enticed by the General Franky, and attempts to chase it. Franky decides to run away, chased by Hatcha, to prevent him from further rampaging in the live floor.
Zoro and Drake battle, with Zoro untrusting of Drake because he refuses to reveal his true identity. However, their battle is interrupted by Apoo, who attempts to summon more Numbers. United by a mutual hatred for Apoo, Zoro accepts Drake into the alliance and they battle him together.
Queen fires a machine gun into the crowd, striking several samurai fighters with bullets. Although their wounds are shallow, the bullets immediately begin taking effect, freezing the victims' skin and coating it with ice. Drake finds that the bullets fired were Excite Bullets, and the samurai were affected by another one of Queen's viruses.
