Sanji is with Tashigi's subordinates as they try to reach the other Straw Hats. Sanji explains some of his motives and some of Zoro's own motives. In the Biscuits Room, Tashigi tells Zoro that she should fight Monet despite Zoro's protests. Zoro sits down and tells Tashigi to do what she wants. Monet attacks, and Tashigi is quickly outmatched. Monet bites Tashigi's shoulder, but Tashigi prevents permanent damage by holding on to Monet's head. Zoro then attacks Monet, slashing her on the cheek. Frozen by fear, Monet is then cut in half by Zoro. However, his attack was not imbued with Haki, so she does not die. Monet is then finished off by Tashigi.
