Summary

Standing between Vivi and Pell, Miss All Sunday is attacked by the furious princess for Igaram's death, but the strike accomplishes nothing. She runs Vivi through with a sprouted hand, and an enraged Pell charges in only to be brushed aside. She explains that the Hana Hana no Mi lets her grow limbs from any surface, then declares she has no more time for him and drops the guard captain with ease before hauling Vivi off to Crocodile's hideout.

Inside the Seastone cage, the imprisoned Straw Hats treat their predicament far too lightly, infuriating Nami while amusing Crocodile. When Vivi is brought in and sees the man responsible for her country's suffering, she cannot contain her rage and lunges at him, but her attack passes harmlessly through his body.
