Summary

Nami comes to inside an unfamiliar castle whose floor is dotted with raised studs, finding herself dressed in Elbaf warrior garb. Alongside Zeus she beats back a cloud of enormous honeybees, which the townsfolk far below watch rain down from the sky. A startled giant porcupine then turns on her, driving her through the corridors, until she catches Usopp's cries as a similar creature, a cat, sets upon him. The pair fight the animals off with Zeus before retreating.

Key Events

The two recall downing absinthe, a hallucinogenic liquor, back on the Thousand Sunny, and they stop fleeing, persuaded the cat is only a vision, right before it shoves them off the castle. When Nami lands below, Usopp is out cold and the cat morphs into a lion. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji arrive to put the lion down, at which it reverts to an ordinary cat. Comparing notes, all of them describe waking up in confusion and tangling with giant creatures, including a rabbit they had eaten. Leaping from the cliff, they land in a blocky town and, noting their Elbaf attire, conclude they have reached Elbaf before pressing on to find any residents.
