Long Summary
On Going Merry, the attackers explain they are known as the Franky Family and are bounty hunters who are after the  Straw Hats' bounties. Zoro easily defeats them using only two swords.

At the Market District, Robin and  Chopper explore the streets where they see a mask stall. She explains that there has been a number of masked people walking by talking about a costume party which is taking place. The two them come across a bookstore which Chopper rushes too and enters. On her way to the store, Robin passes a tall masked man who wispers "CP9" making her expression turn to one of panic and worry. Inside the bookstore, Chopper realizes that  Robin has dissappeared and goes in search of her.

Meanwhile, at a cashing exchange store, the three Straw Hats are offered 100 million  beli for their gold to the excitement of  Luffy and Usopp. Nami however, is not as happy and refuses to accept the offer mentioning Luffy's bounty and the offer being wrong. At this they are offered three times as much which is happily accepted by the three. They are all seen leaving the store with suitcases filled with 100 million beli each. The three of them decide to return to the shipyard to find out the price of repairs.

Once back at the shipyard, they are stopped from entering by on of the workers who explains only workers are allowed in there. The worker, Kaku, who Luffy comically calls Usopp at first due to his long nose, is given the letter from Kokoro and explains that Iceburg is the mayor of Water 7 and the president of the Galley-La Company. After being told the location of the ship, Kaku decides he will check the ship's condition and jumps of a cliff.

The Straw Hats watch in shock while Iceburg explains to them that he always does this and expalins Kaku is a chief mechanic from Dock 1.
