Short Summary

Long Summary
The crew is shocked to see Robin panicking at the sight of the man they met, and immediately faced him, ready to attack. She tells the crew that the man is marine Vice Admiral Aokiji one of the three Vice Admirals: Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru; one of the World Government's three greatest power. Usopp questions why Aokiji is there but Aokiji ignored him and turned towards Nami and tells her that she is a "super-babe", which angers Sanji and Usopp.

Aokiji explains to them that he is only out for a walk. The crew questions Robin if she had mistaken Aokiji for another man, because of the way he talks, as his speeches are messed up, and he forgot what he was supposed to say. Aokiji defends himself that they should not judge people by their appearance and that his motto is "Justice with laziness", which Sanji and Usopp agrees. Aokiji then lies down saying that he is tired, which made Usopp question why he was sleeping while standing up, and says that he doesn't have plans to capture them and that he came there only to check up on Robin's whereabouts after the events of the Alabasta incident. He also tells them that he will report Robin being with the Straw Hats to headquarters, saying that the crew's total bounty will change from Luffy and Zoro's bounty of 160,000,000 to 239,000,000 because of Robin's bounty of 79,000,000 though Aokiji has trouble summing it up. Luffy tries to attack Aokiji but is held back by Usopp and Sanji. Aokiji tells him that he will not do anything when a group of people who are stranded on the island after their ship was wrecked.

Chopper tends to their injuries while Sanji cooks the food that he and Usopp have gathered. While eating, Nami asks what happened to them to which they replied that on their way home from their tour, a giant frog doing a crawl stroke collided with their boat. The group drifted to the island and waited for help when they saw a man riding a bicycle in the middle of the see, which Usopp found absurd. Aokiji admitted that it was him, the man riding the bicycle. Luffy then remembered that he was supposed to attack Aokiji, but Sanji and Usopp stops him again, with Aokiji stating that he is only taking a walk. Luffy keeps arguing with Aokiji saying that he should go.

Aokiji then decides that it is time to go and that he will help the group of stranded people get off the island, telling them to get ready and that there is a populated island nearby. Luffy warns the group that Aokiji is a marine, which prompt a man to ask what the problem is, and makes Luffy realize that normally marines are the good guys and pirates are the bad guys. Usopp and Chopper question how the group will get off the island when there are no boats nearby. Aokiji tells them not to worry, which Robin replied that it is possible because of his powers.

When the group is almost done preparing, they, along with everyone else, went to the shore. The Straw Hats help them secure their food and supplies, with Sanji saying that there is enough food for ten people. Luffy and Nami are relieved when Aokiji is really telling the truth when he said that he will help them, but Luffy still wonders how he will help them. Aokiji proceeds to the shore, tells everyone to stand back, and puts his hand in the water while everyone watch in anticipation. Suddenly, a Sea King appears, startling everyone, and Usopp and Luffy shouts at Aokiji to run and watch out, however, Aokiji just sat there still, ignoring everyone else and the beast. Luffy and Zoro prepares to attack when Aokiji activates his power, Ice Age, ultimately freezing the sea along with the Sea King, shocking everyone.

Anime Notes

 * Luffy's grandfather is mentioned as Aokiji says "You're the spitting image of your grandpa" only for Luffy to get scared his grandpa was talked about. This fear would later be explained in a future episode.
