Summary

Stranded too far for the crew to retrieve him, Sogeking must find his own way back and wrestles with whether to flee. He finds the giant Oimo weeping and asks what is wrong. Oimo explains that he and Kashii once sailed in a pirate crew whose two captains stayed behind on Little Garden to settle a rivalry. Their crewmates sailed home without the captains, and when Oimo and Kashii returned fifty years later to fetch them, the World Government tricked them with a lie.

Key Events

The giants were promised that a century of service at Enies Lobby would buy their captains' freedom and a return to Elbaph. Sogeking tells Oimo the truth: those captains, Dorry and Brogy, have been dueling on Little Garden for a hundred years, their contest still unsettled. Out in the fray, Sodom and Gomorrah rampage through the Marines until a cannon shot pierces Sodom's heart, dropping him; the crew manages to board Gomorrah before he collapses and keeps advancing. Atop the courthouse, Luffy demands Robin back as Blueno warns he is committing a grave offense against the world. Luffy throws the first punch, breaking through Blueno's Tekkai, seeing past his Soru, and landing a hit.
