Nami betrayal and Zoro-Mihawk encounter.

Long Summary
Flashback: after looking at a 20,000,000 bounty poster, Nami starts to act strangely. She moves Johnny and Yosaku's treasures to the Merry's deck and asks them to turn round, pretending to change. While the two guys are fighting temptation, they are suddenly pushed overboard. Nami tells them it was a nice time but since she is a pirate thief, they are no exception and says goodbye.

While Zoro and Usopp are upset (Zoro for being betrayed, Usopp for losing the Merry), Luffy spots the ship on the horizon. He asks the others to take her back since he doesn't want any other navigator. He will stay here, while he has not fulfilled his debt towards Zeff.

Meanwhile, the hawk eyed guy is introduced as Dracule Mihawk, the world greatest swordsman. When Zoro hears that this is really the man he was looking after, he challenges him to a sword fight.

The last page show us Nami crying. Who is Bellemere and why does she want to be free?
