Chapter 3
Luffy wakes up from his dream on the Thousand Sunny and walks into the kitchen to be greeted by his crew. Luffy asks Zoro and Sanji to hit him to make sure he is awake. After being hit, Luffy complains about being hit too hard, which Sanji explains it's because he went into the fridge without asking.

Meanwhile, Sabo wakes up on the Revolutionary Army's main ship while they are stuck at sea due to the lack of wind currents. Koala then teases Sabo about his dream, which she says he has been recurring every night for the past two years.
