Chapter 49

Chapter 49 is titled "The Storm".

Cover
Straw hat and Animals: Nami is hugging a giant seagull, and Luffy's straw hat appears to be on the mailbox nearby.

Short Summary
Hawk-Eye Mihawk appears and Nami disappears.

Long Summary
Zeff knows a guy called the hawk-eyes man who seems to fill Gin's description. Zoro's puzzled look from the previous chapter comes from the fact that he is looking for that same person and thought to be found nearby, according to some information Johnny gave him. Consequently, the Straw Hat Pirates decide that Grand Line is the place they must go to (despite Sanji's sarcasm).

Meanwhile, Don Krieg's crew is recovering thanks to Zeff's food. Krieg tells them the plan is to steal the Baratie ship and return to the Grand Line. When he saw the lack of motivation in his men to return to that place, where they were almost killed, he fires on a man who criticized his decision, which appears to quickly change their mind.

When they start to attack the restaurant, their galleon is suddenly cut in half creating a lot of disbelief in faces as well as some nasty waves. That makes Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp worry for the others. When they arrive to the place where they left the Going Merry, they find Johnny and Yosaku almost drowning without a ship. The bounty hunters tell them the abominable truth: Nami fled with the Going Merry and all their belongings.
