==Short Summary==
Vivi, Rebecca, and Shirahoshi continue with their conversation about Luffy. Sai gets reacquainted with Rebecca and Leo. Vivi has an unpleasant encounter with Wapol before having a pleasant reunion with Dalton and Kureha.

==Long Summary==
Vivi, Rebecca and Shirahoshi discuss their experiences with Luffy. Dalton and Kureha appear at the Levely from the Sakura Kingdom, but also Wapol, who had taken over another kingdom. Vivi remembers her adventure on Drum Island.
The Straw Hats previously stopped by Drum Island because Nami had come down with an incapacitating disease. Drum Island was ransacked by Blackbeard before the Straw Hats arrived only to have their own king, Wapol, abandon the country. After the Straw Hats arrived, Wapol returned, and Luffy had to prevent Wapol from taking back the throne. Luffy defeated Wapol, sending him flying away to a faraway land.
Vivi also tells of Chopper and how he became the Straw Hat Pirates' doctor. Chopper was at first mentored by the quack doctor Hiriluk, but because Hiriluk had died, Chopper went to Kureha to continue his medical training. After Luffy defeated Wapol, he invited Chopper into his crew.
Back in present day, in underwater prison Impel Down, former Warlord Doflamingo is chained to the floor on the lowest level, named Eternal Hell. Doflamingo claims that he knows the secret of the holy land Mary Geoise.
Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise's Pangaea Castle, a mysterious hooded figure holds Luffy's wanted poster, approaching a giant straw hat.
