Cover Page
Color Spread: The first six members of the Straw Hats eating dango with some hippos. Oda also quotes Socrates in a caption on the cover, "Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat."

Short Summary
The Straw Hats and their allies are making their way towards Zou by crossing the treacherous seas of the new world but were hitting obstacles as the crew do not possess a navigator and must rely on the Vivre card given by Trafalgar Law for direction.

Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, Kizaru is having a discussion with his officers over the destruction caused by the self-proclaimed son of Whitebeard: Edward Weevil. The man's power was feared, as he is hunting all the allies of Whitebeard at the request of his mother, Miss Bakkin. The duo then receives the news of Doflamingo's defeat and believed they should pay Luffy a visit for the location of Marco.

A week later, the Straw Hats and allies arrived at where the Vivre card led them and they discover to their shock that the island of Zou was on top of a massive ancient elephant thus the reason why no one can find the island. They prepare to try to dock their ship as their friends are on that island inhabited by a tribe hostile to outsiders.

Long Summary
Hail, the size of human head rains down on the Going Luffy-senpai, managing to knock a hole in the deck. Bartolomeo tells Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates to go below deck, but Luffy says they will help the Barto Club and Franky asks who their navigator is. Bartolomeo replies that they did not have one, outraging Usopp, and Gambia calls his grandmother to ask her what they should do. However, the only advice they get is to use the hail to freeze the pieces of gum on the deck and to treat their warts, making Usopp get angry at the useless advice. The Straw Hat Pirates then begin cursing the Going Luffy-senpai and wishing it was equipped like the Thousand Sunny. Zoro tells Bartolomeo to put up a barrier, but Bartolomeo says that they were told it was a sin to defy nature, angering Zoro and making him wonder how the Barto Club ever got this far. Bartolomeo then expresses confidence that as long as the Straw Hat Pirates were on their ship, they would have nothing to fear as their teacherous journey continues.

At Marine Headquarters, Kizaru receives a report that the A.O Pirates, who formerly served under the Whitebeard Pirates, have been annihilated by the Shichibukai Edward Weevil. The Marine states that this is the sixteenth Whitebeard crew that was annihilated, and it went the same way as usual by petty arguments turning into rampages. He reports that 600 people died from the attack, and asks Kizaru if it was right for them to ignore Weevil's crimes since he was a Shichibukai. However, Kizaru says that being the son of Whitebead is a powerful title and there is very little chance of it being valid. However, it was doubtless that he was an incredibly powerful pirate, reminiscent of Whitebeard in his youth.

On an island, Weevil stands before the city he destroyed and the pirates he killed, saying those pirates could never be considered sons of Whitebeard. His mother, Bakkin, affirms his statement and tells him that the Whitebeard Pirates were only pretenders; Weevil, as his only blood relative, was his only true son. Bakkin announces herself to be the one who stole Whitebeard's heart and whips Weevil in the leg, telling him to pull himself together. Bakkin pulls out a picture of Whitebeard, which Weevil initially mistakes for a mirror, and she tells him that since they resembled each other so much that they were certainly related by blood. After forgiving her son, Bakkin tells him that their next mission was to hunt down the stragglers of the Whitebeard Pirates, starting with Marco. Bakkin tells Weevil that Whitebeard should have left a vast inheritance for him, and as Whitebeard's only biological son he was the true beneficiary. However, Weevil states his desire to get revenge on Blackbeard for killing his father, but Bakkin tells him there would be no monetary profit in that. Bakkin then receives a newspaper from a News Coo and gasps in shock. She reveals that Luffy brought down Doflamingo, and Marco and the others protected him during the Whitebeard War. Weevil thinks that Luffy might know Marco's location and decides to get it out of him.

One week later, the Going Luffy-senpai sails through a thick fog, and the members of the Barto Club begin to get seasick. The lookout reports to Bartolomeo that he has spotted something that could be a mountain or a monster. The lookout reports that the mass is moving, causing Luffy to get excited and forcing Usopp to restrain him. Law reveals that his Vivre Card was pointing towards the mass, recounting a tale he heard about an island that wards away visitors with fog and ocean currents. The pirates then see Zou and react in shock, getting ready to turn around. However, Law tells them to stay there, as Zou is actually a land resting on the back of a giant elephant. Law says that Log Poses could not lead there since it is moving, and he had never been to the island before, but Sanji's group might have already reached there. Law prepares to disembark and asks Bartolomeo for provisions. Kin'emon and Kanjuro are in awe of the island, and Kanjuro recounts tales he heard of a tribe residing there that hates humans, which Law confirms is the Mink Tribe who has not had any contact with humans for over 1000 years. Luffy is shocked to know that this elephant has been alive for that length of time.
