Short Summary

They find their way back to Luffy as he fights his mirrored self, but when they attempt to leave the forest, they find themselves returning constantly to the same spot. "Luffy" grabs Nami, and reveals herself to the Charlotte Brulee.

Meanwhile, behind Whole Cake Chateau, the Germa Kingdom is shown gradually converging. In its castle, Sanji and Vinsmoke Reiju discuss their past and Sanji's upcoming wedding, before being interrupted by their father.

Long Summary
In the Seducing Woods on Whole Cake Island, the living wildlife whispers among themselves, wondering if the Sanji retrieval team has noticed them and saying that Brûlée is playing with the pirates. Meanwhile, Nami, Chopper, and Carrot run from the crane-riding rabbit Randolph, who Carrot says is not a mink despite its appearance. Randolph spins its spear over its head, and Carrot flips back toward it as she attacks it with Electro. Carrot notes that Randolph cannot use Electro, proving it is not a mink, and Nami tells Carrot to not get separated from them. Carrot electrocutes the crane with Electro as she runs back to Nami and Chopper, and Randolph leaps off its downed steed. Randolph hurls its spear at the pirates, and they dodge it as they run into the buried man again, who gets stabbed by the spear. They remark that the man makes a good landmark, meaning they are getting closer to Luffy.

They then see Luffy, who is still fighting his reflection, and Nami tells him that they are heading back to the coast. Luffy wonders why, but agrees to go back with them as he and his reflection run in opposite directions. The Sanji retrieval team approaches the edible bridge where the talking alligator was, and Luffy suddenly states that he is not going with the others, but the Luffy following the others clamps his mouth shut. Luffy wonders where Sanji is, but Nami replies that they are not sure that the person they saw was really Sanji. Suddenly, the Sanji retrieval team somehow runs into the buried man again, which shocks and confuses them. They decide to turn around and go back over the river, but just run into the man again. Nami tries to understand how they are looping back to the same spot when she suddenly sees the faces of the flora in front of her. Everything in the forest starts coming to life around the Sanji retrieval team, and Luffy's expression changes as he tells Nami what the Seducing Woods really are. Luffy then transforms into Charlotte Brûlée, the 8th daughter of the Charlotte Family, and she grabs Nami. Brûlée remarks about Nami's and Carrot's beautiful faces, and decides to slice them up with her fingernails.

At the lake Apricokko behind the Whole Cake Chateau, a Germa 66 ship sails into the port. The single ship then transforms into a much larger one, which is introduced as the Germa Kingdom, a place ruled by the Vinsmoke Family that is known for being the only maritime country in the world. The vast majority of the kingdom's citizens are young male Germa 66 soldiers who train constantly. Sanji looks at the training soldiers from above, and Reiju asks how long he is going to sit there, wanting to spend quality time with the brother she had not seen in 13 years. Sanji replies in anger that he wanted nothing to do with his family anymore, expressing distaste for the picture on the wall that showed their father standing over four defeated kings. Reiju says that the picture is of the Four Nation Coup, which showcased their father's dream of regaining power over the entire North Blue, and she found nothing wrong about him displaying his power in a portrait. Reiju wonders why Sanji would want to live a mundane life on a pirate ship, telling him that he could live a life of luxury and be served all the time by maids, who Sanji falls in love with. Reiju says that Sanji could live a wealthy life and be guarded by devoted soldiers thanks to their family's physical strength, but Sanji says that he has no intention of marrying Charlotte Purin. Suddenly, the Vinsmoke patriarch, Vinsmoke Jajji, comes into the room to see his son. Jajji wonders if Sanji will give him a hard time as he addresses his son, but Sanji retorts that he does not consider Jajji his parent. Jajji asks if Sanji did something to Yonji despite Yonji's formidable strength, but Sanji replies that he must have been stronger. Jajji then decides to take Sanji outside, since men can only clearly speak to each other using physical force.
