Quick Summary
While the three guys are excavating the sky ship wreck, Masira starts to salvage it at the same time.

Long Summary
The chapter begins from a scene where Masira is blushing and waving at the Strawhats. The Strawhats wave back. Nami whispers to Usopp that they can't let them know about the air pump, and Usopp replies that he knows, while stepping on an air pump fairly quickly. Masira tells his crew to think the Strawhats are pumpkins with a serious look, saying that just because people are watching, they shouldn't be all nervous, and his face becomes happy and blushing. His crew also blushes in embarrasment as well. Usopp comments that they have something like pride and Nami states they probably want to show off to them.

Underwater, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji explore the sunken ship in their barrel suits. Luffy finds a cruddy waver, Zoro has an octopus on his head and finds a dead sword, and Sanji kicks open a door to find a spear through a picture of a beautiful woman. Luffy finds something that looks like a treasure chest and they open it together to find almost nothing inside. All of the sudden, a huge spear breaks into the sunken ship to their surprise. It is a part of the "cradle" from Masira's ship used to salvage. Luffy yells "WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!" which came through the speaker system Chopper set up, and Nami and Usopp quickly put their hands over the speaker so that Masira wouldn't notice. They weren't quick enough and the 'WHAT THE HECK I-" part was heard, so Usopp quickly made up the rest of the sentence and asked Masira what the heck the monkey was, pointing to the ship head (which was a monkey). Masira says that Usopp has good eyes and it wasn't just any decorative ship head. Masira ordered the "Barco Hunter" to go foward and the monkey comes off of the ship, to Usopp's amazement. The monkey goes deeper and deeper underwater, and Chopper and Usopp say "AMAZING!!" while Nami asked how it is amazing. The "Barco Hunter" merges with the "cradle" underwater and Masira orders to start "blowing". Nami says that trying to push are into the ship with their breaths and making the ship float is crazy. Masira takes a deep breath into the tube and air comes out of the spear underwater to the monster trio's shock. The ship floats and everyone starts pulling the ship up. Masira orders more air to be added. All the sudden, someone screams, and Masira panics and asks what happend to his underlings. They say someone is inside the ship, and scream again. Masira is infuriated and hollers "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY UNDERLINGS! I WON'T FOGIVE YOU FOR THIS!!!"

Masira poses and stands there for a while. Nami said they aren't taking pictures or anything to Masira's shock, and Usopp thought "...he gave us a shutter chance?". Masira's underlings yell once more, and quickly jumps underwater to rescue them, while ordering the salvaging to continue. As he swims deeper, a huge sea snake tries to eat him, but Masira punches it with a "Monkey Lunge" and it falls, bleeding. The monster trio have taken off their barrel suits meanwhile, and are confused about what happened. Zoro still has the octopus on him. Suddenly, Masira bursts in angrily and Luffy says, "oh, a monkey." Masira happily asks, "oh, am I that awesomonkey?" and Luffy replies, "sure, you're pretty apelike." Zoro asks what kind of coversation this is, and Sanji asks who Masira is. Above the ocean, Nami, Usopp and Chopper are shivering, commenting that something huge is below them. Back down below, Luffy and Masira are laughing while a huge mouth approaches them. Masira and Luffy are having a good time. The chapter ends where a enormus sea turtle eats the ship they are in.
