Short Summary
As Luffy's ship heads to Marine Headquarters, the scene shifts to a point some time in the past. Nami is still on Weather Island, which slowly heads toward the Sabaody Archipelago at a pace determined by the winds. She sees the old man demonstrate his ability to summon large rains and store thunderstorms in soap bubbles. Meanwhile, Franky is still acting like a gentleman under the effects of the tea, and the boy with him wonders when cola will arrive to return him to normal. Franky is attacked by several cyborgs in the forest, causing the tea in him to bubble over and restoring his usual personality, which enables him to defeat the cyborgs with ease. Franky learns that Dr. Vegapunk, who modified Kuma, made the cyborgs, and reaches a house with Vegapunk's name on it, triggering an alarm as he goes in.

Long Summary
Sanji is chased by okamas to Caroline - the queen`s stand in. Sanji agrees to fight Caroline, Kamabakka's strongest warrior, in return for passage from the island. Sanji fights in a dress (Kamabakka terms) and is embarrassed because Caroline was looking at his underwear while fighting. After he realized that, he started kicking lower - with taunts from Caroline. "She" then picked him up and threw him up, and he screamed like a girl. He starts thinking that he is losing himself, and loses the fight. He then becomes an okama and is seen running with the okamas on the beach fully turned into an okama: he has make up on, extensions, nail polish, and shoes in his hands. He addresses Nami and Robin and says that if they meet again, he is sure that they will become very good "friends".

Chopper tends to the wounds of a giant baby bird that fell out of its nest and nursed it back to health and collects food for it. He makes a promise with the bird that it will fly him to the Sabaody Archipelago when it has grown. Chopper wakes up to find that the chick's missing, so he searches for the chick. After he finds the chick, they are both spotted and chased by natives. After running to a dead end in a cliff, they are saved by a group of giant birds which rescue the chick and toss Chopper off the cliff. Chopper watches as the birds and natives fight, wondering why they can't just get along.
