In the Going Merry, Luffy and Usopp are playing with the wet rice and Sanji hit them in order to tell them not to play with food. He then says that if they got nothing to do, they can wash the dishes. He then says he has to pack lunches and Ace tells him that he can give a hand, but Sanji declines because Ace is a guest. Usopp and Luffy start washing dishes, but Sanji quarrels them because they are doing it in the bucket where the mop goes. Zoro is training his swing with weights while Chopper is feeling the breeze made by his training. Vivi asks Nami if they can stop, as she has an important task for Karoo. They are outside the ship in a shore and Vivi asks Karoo if he can deliver a letter for his father, even though he has to cross a desert by himself. In that letter, she has written all the schemes Baroque Works are on. Karoo accepts and departs rapidly, at the same time, Vivi tells him to administrate his water. On the back part of the deck of the ship, Ace suggest to Zoro that Crocodile might have a deeper goal than just usurping the throne.

Crocodile lights a cigar and talks to himself about his views on Alabasta, the kingdom of sand, when Miss All Sunday starts walking towards him. She then informs Crocodile that the Billions ships that were at the port town of Nanohana have been all wiped out by a single person, and that they are confirming the information just as they speak. Crocodile tells Miss All Sunday that they have more volunteers to Billions that they have never had before, but if someone is trying to get in his way, to crush them. Miss All Sunday responds that she has already sent the Erimaki Runners to contact the others.

Luffy starts training with them and they want to follow him afterwards, but Vivi tell him that they cannot cross the desert. Chopper comes up with the idea of giving them food so they stay at the shore. When he takes out a piece of meat, all the Kung-Fu Dugongs top Chopper. After that, the Kung-Fu Dugongs are making them a farewell with a drum and Sanji gets mad because Luffy just lowered the supplies of the Straw Hats. The pirates arrive to Erumalu.
