Chapter 106

Having left Twin Cape, the Straw Hats begin sailing the Grand Line, where Nami struggles to read its chaotic climate as a blizzard gives way to lightning. The trouble deepens when Miss Wednesday asks whether she has checked the Log Pose and Nami realizes a brief lapse has sent the ship off course. An hour of relentless fighting against the shifting weather follows.

When calm finally settles, the crew rests, and Zoro wakes at last. As he moves to press Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday on their real intentions, Nami punches him for having slept through the storm. Even so, she now feels confident in navigating the Grand Line, growing accustomed to its patterns.

Soon Whisky Peak, the home island of Miss Wednesday and Mr. 9, comes into view. The two leap overboard to leave the ship as the Straw Hats wonder what their first Grand Line island will hold, imagining monsters and enemies. Instead, the inhabitants greet them cheerfully and invite them to a party.

The crew endures the Grand Line's erratic climate, and during the voyage Usopp joins Luffy in crafting their first snow sculptures. Both Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday abandon the ship. Reaching Whisky Peak unharmed, the Straw Hats are greeted there, and the character Igarappoi makes his debut. The installment opens the Whisky Peak Arc.
