The Straw Hat Pirates, relaxing in a cloudy treasure.

Short Summary
Kaya learns the truth and leaves the mansion to try to stop Kuro. Meanwhile at the cliff, two new Black Cat Pirates make their apparition: the Nyaban Brothers.

Long Summary
At the mansion, Kaya has a nightmare where Usopp attempts to kill her for insulting his pirate blood. She goes looking around the mansion for Kurahadol, only to find her servant Merry laying on the floor.

Merry manages to regain consciousness, however he is too weak to get up. He tells Kaya about Kurahadol attacking him trying to kill him and how Usopp really was correct; Kurahadol really is a pirate. Kaya cries because the only one who knew the truth was chased away from the village while trying to protect it. More startling is the news from Merry that everyone else in the mansion is on vacation, Merry calms Kaya down since nothing has happened yet. Kurahadol is after treasure, Merry tells Kaya to just give him what he is after to protect her life so the village can stay safe.

The Usopp Pirates gather outside the village, commenting how they think their captain lied about lying about the pirates coming. Just then, they spot Miss Kaya heading out of town.

Back at the coast, Zoro stands ready to fight whatever is coming up from the Black Cat Pirates next. The Nyaban Brothers, Buchi, and Sham, appear. The pair suddenly act to be afraid to attack Zoro, Sham is first up and he cowardly runs towards Zoro. However at the last second, Sham suddenly changes and becomes powerful. The next thing, Zoro sees Sham standing there with two of his swords attached to his back.
