History
Several times in the past, Mobston saw many pirate crews' dreams shattered by Zephyr. Although he repaired their ships, the crews, having lost the will to continue, left their equipment and weapons on the island and left to parts unknown. Unable to stand by and let that happen, he stored the discarded gear and kept it safe so as to give it to whoever might be brave enough to stand up against Zephyr.

When the Straw Hat Pirates shipwreck near Dock Island, Mobston and his grandchildren offer them assistance and shelter while the Thousand Sunny is being repaired. They tell them everything they know about Zephyr, and when Mobston realizes that Luffy did not give up after being defeated by Zephyr, he offers to give him his best equipment to fight Zephyr. As the Straw Hats go to Secon Island to gather more information about Zephyr and eventually defeat him, Mobston helps Franky in repairing the Thousand Sunny.

After the Straw Hats return from another defeat at the hands of Zephyr, Mobston shows them the gear he had kept from pirates that Zephyr defeated. He lets the Straw Hats use these items to defeat Zephyr.

The Straw Hats return from their battle with the Neo Marines, and give the gear back to Mobston. Mobston sees them off as they leave the island.
