Summary:
Luffy and Nami are seen escaping through the rooftops while an announcement is heard through Water 7 warning everyone of the approaching Aqua Laguna. Citizens are seen sealing off their homes and businesses while at Blue Station inspectors check passengers in case the Straw Hats try to escape by sea train. Zoro is in the alley reading an article about yesterday’s attack while the members of Galley-La arrive at the hotel to find the Straw Hats.
At the Rocky Peninsula, where the Going Merry is anchored, Galley-La Company workers are also looking for some members there, although it appears to be deserted. Unaware of the recent events, Usopp is seen hiding behind a rock some distance away from the boat preparing to attack, wondering who they are and why they are there.
Since neither is pictured or identified as part of the Straw Hat crew, Sanji and Chopper are free to move around without being chased. The pair are seen reading the timetable of a marine train, fearing that Robin may have tried to escape. When a random citizen is asked about Robin’s generous picture, they are simply told that she, now much older than in the photo, is the murderer. They decide it would be best to look for Robin to find out what’s going on.
They finally spot her across the river and start looking for a way to get across, but she tells them to stay where they are. She announces that she is not coming back with them and that she was indeed to blame for what happened last night, as well as forcing the blame on the Straw Hats. Both shocked and confused, Sanji and Chopper stare wordlessly as they say goodbye. As she leaves, Sanji begins to swim across the river while Chopper yells for her to come back. After failing to catch up with Robin, Sanji tells Chopper to find Luffy and tell him about the meeting with Robin while he focuses on the plan he has.
At a bridge somewhere in Water 7, a group of Galley-La workers are seen searching for Luffy, Nami, and Zoro hiding under the bridge. After they leave, Chopper arrives and finds the three by scent. The four escape to the roof where they can discuss without any interruption from angry citizens or Galley-La workers. Chopper explains the conversation he and Sanji had with Robin, and it is decided that they must find out if Robin is friend or foe.
