Summary:
Nami chases after Perona, who has taken all the treasure and plans to leave the Thriller Bark on Sunny with it. When Nami gets there, she finds Perona being confronted by Bartholomew Kuma, who sends her away. Kuma then asks Nami if Monkey D. Luffy has a brother and disappears shortly after. Meanwhile, the oar-fighting Straw Hats take advantage of Luffy’s weaknesses, such as meat, to defeat him. Zoro decides to test his new sword that he got from Ryuma.
Nami defeats two squirrel zombies to tell her what they did with the Straw Hats’ treasure. He goes looking for Perona and heads to the Thousand Sunny when he spots the fallen oars. However, the oars remain stuck to the ground as its horns are now embedded in the ground. Using this to their advantage, the Straw Hats began to beat him, to the point of fury. Oars get back to their feet, much to everyone’s annoyance, and Usopp, Chopper, and Franky accuse Robin of not doing “Tactic 15” correctly. The former three decide to do it again anyway, using Sanji’s kick to aim to attack again. The embarrassing thing is that the attack is practically useless. But Usopp mocks the oars, punching him in the head with his fist. The oars don’t fall and Franky, Chopper and Usopp run away again.
Trying to figure out what else they could do, Usopp reminds everyone that Luffy’s memory isn’t completely gone; basically Luffy’s weaknesses are Oars’ weaknesses. Usopp and Chopper distract him and Franky and Zoro attack. While Franky discovers that all he has to do is keep going until Luffy defeats Moria, Sanji and Zoro are ready to simply defeat Oars with no intention of waiting for Luffy. Zoro decides it’s a good chance to use the new sword he got from Ryuma.
Luffy continues to search the woods for Moria and eventually manages to find what appears to be him.
Nami reaches Sunny and confronts Perona, who intends to take the ship and escape the Thriller Bark with all the treasures. Suddenly, a tall stranger appears behind Perona, who falls in shock and fear, introducing the man as one of the Seven Warriors of the Sea, Bartholomew Kum. Perona tries to tell him that she no longer works for Moria and was just on her way off the island. Perona wonders what he would do with the information and finally tells him. She snaps out of it and intends to eventually fight him (though he ignores her). Perona attacks, but Kuma reaches for her and she disappears. Nami stands shocked and Kuma identifies her and asks about Luffy’s brother, Ace, then leaves her. Nami thought she had to warn everyone.
Dealing with Moria’s shadow, but not Moria herself, Luffy realizes that he has been tricked into a wild chase.
