Short Summary
While he is standing at the top of Roger execution platform, Luffy is addressed by a mysterious beautiful lady who claims to know him. It is in fact Alvida, who has been metamorphosed after eating a Devil Fruit. She has teamed up with the Buggy Pirates who also make their apparition in order to take their revenge. Cabaji succeeds in catching Luffy and immobilises his head in preparation to his execution.

When they hear about the ruckus that occurs in the plaza, the marines captain Smoker and his lieutenant Tashigi take the steps necessary to their arrest. Meanwhile, the other Straw Hats find each other and assist in shock to what happens to their unfortunate captain.
