It is shown that she and Luffy are sitting on a rooftop near the Galley-La Company HQ where reporters continue to crowd the entrance. Determined to discover the truth, Luffy, breaks into the HQ alone, smashing through a window to gain entry. In Iceburg's room, Kalifa informs him that Luffy has break into headquarters and Iceburg then asks for a favour.

While being chased by Galley-La workers, Kalifa is seen calling  Luffy when he passes. As the others pass the room, she denies seeing him and says that Iceburg is currently asleep. The workers decide to guard the room along with Kalifa. Inside the room, Luffy and Iceburg begin to talk about the shooting and Iceburg confirms that Nico Robin was one of the attackers. Pointing a gun at Luffy, he asks if he will allow him to see her one more time however  Luffy explains he has no idea where she is.

A gun shot suddenly sounds throughout the building and everyone charges into Iceburg's room, where the window is seen to be open. Iceburg disappointedly states that he too wanted to find the truth. Outside on the rooftop, Luffy reports his findings to Nami outside however, he states that he still doesn't believe  Robin would do such a thing.

At Blueno's Bar, Franky appears with Mozu and Kiwi greeting the owner, Blueno and ordering cola. He is seen taking three empty bottles from a compartment in his stomach. Blueno asks whether Franky can pay and Mozu and Kiwi reveal they still have half the money they stole from the Straw Hats money shocking Franky. Franky then throws the money in the air exclaiming the drinks are on him. Kokoro, who has been in the bar since Franky entered, starts to talk to him. Chimney and Gonbe appear from the other side asking Franky for juice. Blueno hands him three cola bottles which he puts into the compartment referring to them as "fuel" and his hair sticks back up.

Kokoro and Franky begin to discuss Iceburg being shot, Kokoro suggesting that the government, who have been stalking him, would be more likely suspects than pirates. She continues by bringing up a organization known as CP9 which both Franky and Blueno states as a rumour however, she insists that they exist by working in the shadow. Franky asks Kokoro why she is so confident they exist and she states she heard about it, which Franky comically says is a rumour.
