Short Summary
Smoker and the other Marines reach Punk Hazard. Meanwhile Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Robin are trying to figure out a way to cross the river. The centaur chasing after them calls his boss and then a giant appears from the shadows. Inside the laboratory, Nami and Chopper try to escape with the kids while Sanji and Franky hold the enemies off. Meanwhile, on the boat, Brook fights the torso of the samurai. At PH-006, Smoker finally reaches the building and rings the doorbell. The Marines ready for a fight are suddenly left with a shocked expression on their faces when Trafalgar Law, now a Shichibukai, answers the door.

Long Summary
As a volcano erupts, the marines observe the fiery and chilly land around them and comment that when they are on this island they feel as though that Akainu and Aokiji are glaring at them. They shoot down a block of ice with their cannons and are astounded to see that as Smoker has gathered there was a river route behind the ice. Smoker merely comments that if you have paid attention to the sea currents the river would've been obvious. He comments that it is more of a problem if the ice blocking it was natural or man-made, which prompts his crew to once more comment that there would be no possible method of anyone living on the gas-ridden island. Tashigi says that the voice on the signal definitely mentioned this island which prompts the crew to laugh and say that there is no way since even a den den mushi would die. She orders them to shoot the next ice block if they have time to laugh. The crew realizes that there is another giant ice block and promptly works to shooting at it.

Meanwhile, on the burning half of Punk Hazard, Luffy and Usopp have met with a very violent wind. Robin comments that it is due to the temperature difference of the island which meets in the center of the lake they are currently at the edge of. As they wonder how they are going to cross the lake which is half frozen and half burning, Zoro mentions that it might actually be a quite good temperature to swim since he worked up a sweat. Usopp yells at him not to be ridiculous to which Luffy agrees and says that because he and Robin can't swim. This has Robin think of an image of her and Luffy being carried across the backs of Usopp and Zoro, respectively. Usopp yells at her saying they aren't going to swim carrying them across and takes charge saying there is no other way if they need to get across and implements his special "Green Star:" "Boaty Banana" and "Uchiwa Grass" attacks. A boat that looks like a banana appears much to the delight of Luffy while Usopp explains that the Uchiwa grass will be their oars. Robin comments how wonderful his seeds are which starts Usopp off on a long winded boast about his dangerous past on Boin Archipelago, during which the rest of the members board the boat. Luffy sits at the front of the boat (on the stem of the banana) and says for them to go to the land of the shaved ice. Usopp gets mad at him for not rowing while Zoro merely comments that the water is boiling and Robin smiles.
