The crew cannot make out what Mohji was trying to say, Buggy becomes aware though he is facing a tough man and attempts to hurry up the preparation of the Buggy Balls.

Outside the town, Chouchou arrives at the camp the townsfolk are staying at, injured but safe to the relieve of everyone. Since the mayor failed to return with the dog, they are now worried.

Back in the town, Nami has changed her mind about Luffy being a pirate. The mayor gets frustrated at the pirates in the town, because while Chouchou and Luffy fought hard he stood back and did nothing. The mayor tells Luffy and Nami how only 40 years ago, the land was nothing but bare earth and how the people moved here to forget all about the pirates that had previously done them wrong. The mayor declares the town is his treasure.

At that moment, Buggy launches a Buggy ball that hits the Mayor's house where Zoro was sleeping, making everyone fly from the ball's crazy damage. Luffy and the Mayor go crazy because Zoro is in the house, but Zoro nevertheless gets up out of the rubble, awake but otherwise unharmed. The mayor is in awe as his life's work is being torn apart, he cannot sit by while this is happening. Nami tries to calm him down, however the mayor is too upset about what is happening.
