Long Summary
The Marines are surprised that Boa Hancock protected Luffy from Smoker. They are even more impressed when Hancock gives Luffy the key to Ace's handcuffs. Their surprise increases when Luffy hugs Hancock as a way of thanking her. Hancock is so happy that she can barely breathe, making the naive Marines believe that Luffy "defeated" her. Hancock then pictures herself marrying Luffy and having the red string of fate tying them to each other, but is soon brought back to reality when Smoker attacks Luffy again, prompting Hancock to break his jutte. Smoker asks her if she knows what will happen for messing with the Marines but she replies that she "can do everything, because she's beautiful". Ivankov confronts Donquixote Doflamingo about Bartholomew Kuma being "dead" and is joined by Luffy. Doflamingo explains that while he is indeed Kuma, he is not the one they once knew, as Dr. Vegapunk has modified him, and he is now a complete human weapon, much to Ivankov's surprise. Doflamingo then tells Ivankov that Kuma now is just a weapon that follows the World Government's orders and so it is better for him to forget about their friendship, while Kuma shoots beams at Ivankov and Luffy. Kuma then dashes toward the Newkamas and blows them away with his Pad Cannon. Angered, Ivankov attacks him with both Face Spectrum and Galaxy Wink which blows Kuma away, followed by a kick, deciding he "will not hold back anymore". Just then he becomes depressed at how nobody has ever forgotten about him but quickly recovers claiming he will make Kuma remember how scary he is. He then orders the Newkamas to follow Luffy while he deals with Kuma. Meanwhile Buggy and his followers formulate a plan that they soon put into action, following Luffy, but Mr.3 has doubts. Mr.1 and Crocodile fight the Whitebeard Pirates who try to protect Whitebeard from him, but are easily defeated. Jozu then confronts Crocodile and is capable of harming him. Just before Crocodile could think of a counterattack Doflamingo saves him by holding Jozu back with his power. Crocodile threatens to kill Doflamingo if he gets in his way, but Doflamingo proposes an alliance. Luffy keeps advancing, but finds that Mihawk is in his way, while Mihawk thinks to himself as he "apologizes" to Shanks as he will not hold back, and will fight Luffy.
