Long Summary
After surviving an attack from Richie, the mayor and Nami struggle to believe Luffy could have lived. The mayor demands Luffy's reason for being in the town, Luffy says its to acquire the Grand Line map and a navigator.

Meanwhile Richie and Mohji approach the pet store, only to find Chouchou won't allow them inside. As Chouchou fights the lion, he loses, but dares not surrender over the memory of his owner. Chouchou is clearly losing. As Luffy walks over to find Zoro, Mohji is angry over the dog as it bit him. But as Luffy approaches the pet store, he finds it ablaze with Chouchou barking at the loss of his greatest treasure.

Returning from the store, Mohji and his lion come across Luffy standing in the way, in amazement they cannot believe he is still alive. They fail to understand what Luffy means by he is a rubber man. Mohji sends Richie to attack, however to his shock and horror Luffy stops it with an attack. Mohji cannot believe Luffy has a Devil Fruit like his captain Buggy. Mohji begs for mercy, but Luffy explains he is not the one Mohji must say sorry to. Luffy stretches his arm and grab Mohji, promptly hitting him head first to the ground afterwards.

Nami and the mayor stare at Chouchou's store ruins. Nami shows a strong dislike for all pirates for what has happened. When Luffy shows up, she takes her dislike for pirate out on him, but the mayor holds her back, preventing her from striking Luffy (although he states she could not kill him even if she tried). Luffy places a bag of pet food in front of Chouchou. Even though the bag of food is all that is left of the store, Chouchou is grateful to Luffy for what he has done and Nami is left wondering why Luffy did that.

Meanwhile, Buggy gives the order to prepare the Buggy Balls, he is ready to wipe the town out.
