In a brief flashback, Jinbe plans out with Luffy not to fight Hody directly. He suggests he become the hero of the Fish-Man Island, which Luffy refuses because pirates can never be heroes. After Jinbe convinces Luffy, he tells the plan to the crew. In the vicinity of Gyoncorde Plaza, the people encourage the Straw Hat Pirates while Shirahoshi apologizes for keeping the dark secret to herself. Hody says that he would soon become the Pirate King, and shows his strength of 100,000 man army. Luffy knocks half of them out by using his Haki, then gets ready to fight the New Fish-Man Pirates with his crew.
