Long Summary[]
Queen laughs at Luffy for suggesting that he could defeat him. The terrifying sumo match then begins and Luffy is presented with a gang of fighters. However, Luffy defeats them effortlessly, and Queen calls out the Pleasures. Kawamatsu watches the match from his cell while Luffy beats up more pirates with minimal effort.
Meanwhile, Hawkins raids the bathhouse that Nami's group is at, somehow knowing about the alliance's operations. He lines up all the people to check their ankles for the reverse crescent symbol, somehow knowing about the symbol. They prepare to arrest Nami, but her robe falls, revealing her breasts and knocking everyone back, including Drake.
Sanji also appears, apparently having been hiding using his raid suit. He suffers a nosebleed and crashes into a wall. Hawkins and Drake, both being from North Blue, recognize him as Stealth Black of Germa 66.
The guests go into a frenzied panic in fear of Germa 66. Nami's group attempts to escape during the commotion but are confronted by Hawkins and Drake. Sanji briefly fights them before picking up the others and bursting through the ceiling and flying away. They head to Ebisu Town to meet up with Usopp's group.
In Ringo, a thief attacks swordsmen and collects their swords. At a bridge, he is confronted by Zoro, whose sword, Shusui, has been stolen from him. The thief states that Shusui did not belong to Zoro as it was stolen from Ryuma's grave. They quickly enter battle as Zoro wants to take the thief's sword collection.
