However, the Bounties Pirates discover that Caesar Clown has been kidnapped, and they need him to make poison gas bombs to kill the kings.

He is disappointed to find it is from Duval, who is on a tour of the New World and hopes to run into the crew. He tears up the letter, and Karoo walks up to them to the crew's surprise. Behind him is a man who resembles Igaram, Igaram Jr. The two have no blood relation but have the same appearance, voice, and weapons. Igaram Jr. reveals that he took Caesar's heart and kidnapped him to prevent the Bounties Pirates from attacking Levely. Lower members of the Bounties Pirates arrive to retrieve Caesar, and the crew fights them off.

The pirates report back to their other captain, Prize, about Caesar's whereabouts with Luffy. Prize becomes angry and attacks them when they inform him that they failed to capture the scientist. He confronts the crew himself reveals that he at the Deri Deri no Mi, a fruit that allows him to deliver things to any place he can see, even things that are invisible to him. He sends a virus at the crew, causing them to cough uncontrollably. Buggy and his Buggy's Delivery members Mugon and Dandy appear, fighting Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji respectively. The Bounties Pirates summon a gatling gun from the ocean that sprays seawater, weakening the Straw Hat Pirates' Devil Fruit users. Bounty attacks Luffy, and Luffy sneezes, falling into the ocean. Usopp jumps in after him, and Prize uses his Spear Delivery to remove Igaram Jr.'s heart and gives it to Caesar. The Bounties Pirates attack the Thousand Sunny and leave with Caesar. Usopp rescues Luffy and takes him to the Thousand Sunny's sickbay, where Chopper works to find a treatment for Prize's virus. Chopper cures the entire crew, and Sanji calls Duval on a Den Den Mushi, asking for help. The crew and Duval pursue the Bounties Pirates on watercraft.

At Mary Geoise, the kings receive a statement from Bounty detailing his intentions to kill them all. The kings try to evacuate to a ship, but they begin to panic and fight each other. Vivi tries to calm them down, and she helps a slave girl who was being abused by a World Noble. The crew catches up to the Bounties Pirates, and Usopp, Nami, and Robin find the cannons the Bounties Pirates planned to use for the poison gas bombs, disabling them. Bounty fights Luffy and gets the upper hand when Crocodile appears, who came with Daz Bones to steal Caesar's poison gas bombs.

Back on Mary Geoise, the kings continue to fight each other until Vivi's voice breaks through, demanding that the fighting stop. They listen to her, but a World Noble shoots a gun in the air, ordering that he should the first to board the evacuation ship.

Zoro and Sanji attack Bounty, causing him to fall for good. With the cannons disabled and Bounty defeated, the crew believes they have won, but Prize reveals that he can use his ability to launch the bombs without the cannons. He throws a spear, which Luffy catches with his bare hands, and then he throws one of the bombs. It will reach Mary Geoise in ten minutes, so Crocodile proposes that they knock Prize out in that time to stop his ability. Mugon and Dandy block Zoro and Sanji and fight them again, defeating them.
