Cover
Color spread:The Straw Hats are partying in a mushroom world.

Quick Summary
Luffy starts an uproar in the Human Auction House by punching Saint Charloss. All the Straw Hats gather at the auction house. Silver Rayleigh escapes and meets Luffy.

Long Summary
The Auction House is in shock: in one punch, Monkey D. Luffy has knocked out Tenryuubito Saint Charloss and smashed him against several empty benches! Everyone, including Keimi, Pappug and Hatchan (whom he was protecting) became shocked while Luffy took it like it was nothing, with only Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law smiling from his action. Luffy immediately apologizes, knowing that an Admiral from the Marines is coming, but Zoro admits disgust too while the rest of the crew has moved on to freeing Keimi from her bowl prison.

Unfortunately, the remaining Tenryuubito of Saint Roswald and Saint Shalulia are disgusted by Luffy's action. Roswald draws a gun but Sanji kicks it out of his hand before taking out a guard nearing him. More guards appear for their protection of the "fish" but Zoro and Franky take care of them. Luffy continues his defiance with Roswald threatening sending the Admiral. The remainder of the auction house soon clears out as Zoro slices opens Keimi's bowl, grateful for the rescue.

In admist the growing chaos, the Rosy Life Riders arrive with more crew members while Disco continues to protect the slave he intended to sell. Roswald continues to threaten action against the pirates until Usopp lands on his head knocking him down. Robin and Brook assist in fighting the guards. Luffy comments that the Marines are "coming", but Law corrects him by saying they're "already here" surrounding the auction house (though Luffy is more interested now in the bear in his crew).

Angry with the way things were going, Shalulia seizes Keimi from Disco threatening to kill her. But before anyone can do anything to stop her, she suddenly passes out as Silvers Rayleigh finally emerges with his giant prisonmate, speaking of the money he stole back that he previously lost gambling. Everyone stares at his appearance, but Hatchan immediately identifies him as his friend and the coating engineer. Realizing who is on the octopus man's side with the trouble caused, he emits a mysterious energy that makes nearly everyone in the building faint! Rayleigh identifies Luffy immediately after his action, stating he had been waiting to meet him.
