Theese move acording to the Sunny's movements and lock them in.

The meanwhile,the strawhats learn that the former Phoenix Pirates reportedly sailed into the New World but were heavily beaten there,loosing the life of Vigaro ,a crewmember and vice-captain. Thereafter,they lost their flag to the Acchino family and became their soldiers-though only Stance shows any "loyalty" to them.When their heavily injured captain, Pazur recovers,he says that Stance's decision "wasnt bad" ,that they will no longer be pirates or sail to the new world and that they will stay the bounty hunters underlings.No one in the crew agrees with this,especialy the wery young and pasionate Jiro ,but the captain is not moved at all.Luffy, who was with Chopper on the Phoenix' ship to look on the injured Pazur, head back,but the rope that was used to hold the ship close to the Sunny,breakes,in a rampage of several mysterious underwater "eruptions". The traped Sunny is encountered by Lilo, Salco , Arabelle and Hockera .They claim that its imposible for them to escape and that all the crew will die.Franky ,however,gets the ship out by using a "coup de bust".Salco calls either Brindo or Kanpachino (as they are twin brothers,that only difer in the color of their shirts and the adressed person was in a partial silhouete,its uncertain exactly witch one of the twins it was) and he then decides to leave,before Don Acchino points out that he should "take the flag first".

Meanwhile ,Lilo's flying fish manages to steal the Strawhats flag .They realise this ,shortly before noticing that Zorro,who helped them by cuting through one of the ice bergs,but stayed behind,is stil mising.
