After escaping a storm, Shiki meets Nami and reveals his powers to make any inanimate object he touches float.

Luffy vows to protect the East Blue before witnessing Shiki’s ship overhead. Shiki tells Nami that she has been taken to the island against her will and a brief flashback is shown: several days earlier, the Straw Hats read news of an attack on East Blue. The Straw Hats have been separated into three groups: Sanji with Usopp, Roronoa Zoro with Tony Tony Chopper, and Nico Robin with Franky and Brook. The monster is overpowered by the other monsters before Luffy defeats the fourth monster.

Luffy is chased by a genetically-enhanced animal. Shiki (シキ) uses his Devil Fruit powers to destroy marine ships and warn Monkey D.
