Short Summary
After telling Luffy all about her past, Hancock accepts to give him a ride to Sabaody Archipelago with her Yuda-towed ship. She also invites Luffy for their banquet tonight and to rest inside. At the banquet, Luffy eats everything around him, and the girls seem suspicious. The Kuja Pirates misunderstand their Hebihime's action and prepare to attack Luffy. But before they can, Luffy,bored, starts to sing Bink's sake and dances with a pan and spoon. It makes everyone laugh, and the party begins. But the girls, who have never seen man before, interrogate luffy and touch him. He escapes with Marguerite to Elder Nyon's house. There Luffy finds out that Hancock is a Shichibukai, the war between The Whitebeard Pirates and Marines and most important, his brother Ace is about to be taken to his execution. He says sorry to his comrades after deciding to rescue ace at Impel Down, and asks Elder Nyon how he can rescue Ace. Elder Nyon tells him that there's only way to make it to his brother in time, by asking Hancock to accept the call of Marines. But, Hancock has caught an unknown disease.
