Short Summary
Queen tells the Beasts Pirates to battle Luffy and Zoro. Scratchmen Apoo intervenes with his Devil Fruit ability, but is attacked by Kid.

Long Summary
Remembering when he fed Tama in Okobore Town, Luffy explains how wasteful the partygoers were being. Zoro decides to join Luffy and battle the remaining Beasts Pirates in the party hall. Queen watches them from above, disappointed that Luffy escaped the prisoner mine.

Scratchmen Apoo notices and recognizes Luffy and Zoro, and he decides to play a song on his turnstable while Luffy and Zoro continue to wreak havoc on the Beasts Pirates. Queen realizes that Babanuki lied to him when he reported that Luffy and Kid were safely behind bars. Queen calls out to all the partygoers, offering a spot in the Tobiroppo to the person who captures Luffy.

Kid remembers when he met Apoo and Hawkins. They formed an alliance together as three members of the Worst Generation. However, that was when Kaidou jumped off a Sky Island and into Kid's lair. Kaidou was upset that two members of the Worst Generation took down his supplier of SMILE fruits. Apoo, who was allied with Kaidou all along, helped capture Kid and imprison him.

Luffy and Zoro battle several Gifters, but Apoo intervenes with his Devil Fruit ability. He strikes his chest, creating a sound wave that strikes Luffy like a punch. Another attack slices Zoro in the chest with an invisible force. Luffy is momentarily knocked out by Apoo creating an explosion. Although they remove their disguises to fight better, Apoo still defeats them, sending them flying into the air.

Kid decides to intervene himself, using his Devil Fruit ability to attract the metal around him. He creates a gigantic metallic arm and uses the "Punk Gibson" attack to slam Apoo into a wall, breaking his glasses.
