Long Summary
Nami is shocked to hear that the buried man has a daughter named Lola that ran away from home, remembering how Purin told them about her older sister who left in search of a marriage of her own choosing. The buried man tells Charlotte Cracker to unhand him, as he wanted to see his daughters Lola and Chiffon. Nami recalls Lola giving her her mother's vivre card on Thriller Bark, and realizes that Big Mom is Lola's mother while the buried man is her father, which surprises Luffy. Suddenly, Randolph comes riding in on his crane as they rush at the Straw Hats. Luffy and Nami prepare to defend themselves, but Cracker suddenly knocks Randolph over by shouting at him. Cracker's shout causes the nearby tree homies to shrink and wither away, and Luffy and Nami note in shock that they did this not because of Haki, but because of fear. The tree homies wonder what Cracker is doing in the Seducing Woods, and he questions them whether he was not good enough to be here, before turning to Randolph and yelling at him for intruding in their business. Randolph apologizes, saying that his crane forced him to come here, which the crane says is a lie.

Cracker states that Big Mom takes initiative, so she sent him in order to reliably deal with Luffy, who took down Donquixote Doflamingo and may have been too strong for Brûlée. Brûlée takes offense to this, as well as an enormous tree homie she is standing on, who is revealed to be the master of the Seducing Woods, King Baum. Baum states that no one they have targeted has emerged from the Seducing Woods alive, but Cracker states that they do not have time to play games since the Vinsmoke Family will be in full attendance tomorrow and they are sealing a very important alliance with Germa 66. Brûlée states that she knows that as she turns the Straw Hat copies back into animals, and Luffy sees her on the tree and mistakes her for a branch. Brûlée gets offended and reveals that she has captured Carrot and Chopper inside her mirror. Brûlée tells Cracker that she has already succeeded in capturing some of the Straw Hats as she drops the mirror on the ground, shattering it. Luffy talks with Chopper and Carrot, who did not shatter with the mirror, and they tell him to hold on for a second.

Cracker then decides to return to business by killing the buried man first, saying that Big Mom does not care about his demise. The man pleads with Cracker, saying he could be his father, but Cracker says that he, like Big Mom, considered her 43 husbands as outsiders to the family. Cracker asks again about his daughters as Cracker prepares to kill him with his sword, but Luffy suddenly blocks Cracker's swing. Luffy then kicks Cracker's arm, forcing him to let go of the buried man, and Luffy is angry at Cracker for his lack of concern for a man he has known so long. The homies run away in terror, knowing that Cracker was about to beat Luffy, and Nami prepares to run away with the buried man, who reveals his name is Pound. Pound remembers that Nami stated Lola's name, but the two are forced to flee from the pursuing homies. As the homies chase them, Nami pulls out the vivre card Lola gave her, which glows very brightly and causes the homies to shrink back in terror. Brûlée asks what is wrong with everyone, and Baum replies that they cannot oppose Nami due to feeling Big Mom's powerful soul around her. Suddenly, Luffy is knocked into one of the tree homies by Cracker, who taps his limbs to multiply them, gaining a new weapon with each limb. Cracker states that Luffy has no chance of coming out victorious, and Nami tells Luffy not to go all out, but Luffy replies that he knows no other way of fighting.
