History

While resting on a bench in Alubarna, Sardan was greeted by the Straw Hat Pirates, who noticed something was wrong. She explained that her back ached terribly and asked them to track down a physician capable of mixing a particular pain remedy, pointing them toward her friend Tamaka for assistance.

The crew eventually came back with Nafk and the medicine he had prepared, which eased her pain. She thanked them warmly, relieved that she could go on teaching dance. Resuming her lessons near the spot where the two parties first met, Sardan was approached by the pirates once more and griped that her pupils could not follow her instructions. She enlisted the Straw Hats to whip the class into shape, and they did so, though the effort left them spent. To repay them, she launched into a routine she called the Miwaku no Memai Dance. Warned by her students that the performance induced dizziness, and recognizing the name from a number Vivi had once performed, the crew invented a reason to slip away before she could begin.
