Long Summary
Some Marines have intercepted Mr. 0's and Sanji's phone conversation. These are no other than Smoker and his lieutenant Tashigi who are researching the Straw Hats. By witnessing the words Vivi and Baroque Works, they understand that Luffy and his crew are trying to reach Arabasta.

Meanwhile, the Giants and the Straw Hats are rejoicing after their victory but are wondering how they can solve the one year log pose problem. That is when Sanji makes his apparition. He explains to them that now Mr. 0 believes them dead, but above all, provides the mean to depart with the Eternal Pose to Arabasta. Everyone can not believe such a luck and decide to not delay their depart any further.

Once the Straw Hats are aboard the Going Merry, Dorry and Brogy are standing at the exact side of the island. After thanking them for their help, they ask the crew to trust them and always go straight, when suddenly, something emerges from the sea...
