Helmeppo mentions his father's upcoming execution. Obviously, it worries him.

Short Summary
While Sanji is going to deliver Luffy, Zoro and Usopp are trying to buy some time with Arlong. However, due to his wounds, Zoro is not able to stop Arlong much. Before he kills the swordman, he reveals Zoro's bandages and realizes that they are not ordinary ones, but wounds that are usually fatal.

Meanwhile, Sanji has provided the delivering kick and Luffy gets out of the water. With the speed of his retracting neck, he jumps high into the air making everyone full of hope again. He "saves" Zoro by switching place with him and starts a few attacks on Arlong. They are inefficient against Arlong, but that was just the warm-up.

Long Summary
Sanji begins his descent to free Luffy from the rock, with Zoro continuing his fight with Arlong, who comments that Luffy must be receiving outside help and is determined to find out who is helping him. Usopp then gets Arlong's attention for a second, but then is promptly ignored and Arlong continues his conversation with Zoro. Who proclaims that he will break his nose to which Arlong responds that the reason he is so proud of his nose is that it can't be broke. Hatchan then gets back up and dives down to attack Sanji, while Arlong attack Zoro, as Sanji gets to the bottom he is attacked from behind by Hatchan. Meanwhile Arlong proceeds to rip off Zoro's bandages, until he reveals Zoro's wounds, amazed by Zoro's durability, he decides to kill him, but Zoro laughs saying that Hatchan shouldn't have gone after Sanji. Sanji then breaks the rock, freeing Luffy, who stretches back up, launching himself into the air, amazing everyone and then switches places with Zoro. And starts to attack Arlong, who withstands all his assaults.
