WARNING

Enraged over the wreckage of his house and the beating of his followers, Franky swears he can never pardon the Straw Hats. A handful of his gang turn up to report that they have been scouting the crew's whereabouts so he can take his revenge.

At the Shift Station, a fierce wind rises. Kokoro identifies it as Karock, the south wind, notes the waves growing violent, and warns that the sea train will halt that night, telling Chimney and Gonbe to ready themselves because Aqua Laguna is coming. Across Water 7 the same warning goes out, and the residents, many having forgotten the threat, scramble. Sanji and Chopper learn from a citizen that Aqua Laguna is a high tide set to swallow the lower town near midnight.

Outside Shipyard 1, where anxious citizens await news of Iceburg, music suddenly blares and three figures appear atop the archway behind a sheet of fabric. One demands that Luffy show himself; when the cloth falls, the trio is revealed as Mozu, Kiwi, and an unmasked Franky. As bystanders flee, an angry Luffy shouts at Franky to identify himself, and Franky shows his true face for the first time.

Inside the headquarters, Kalifa announces that Iceburg has woken, to the joy of the Galley-La workers and waiting reporters. Iceburg recalls two assailants: a large masked man and a tall, black-haired woman he names as Nico Robin.

The chapter is part of the Water 7 Arc. It establishes that Aqua Laguna will reach Water 7 at midnight and submerge the lower half of the town. The masked man from Iceburg's flashback is later identified as Blueno of CP9. The cover continues Gedatsu's Accidental Blue-Sea Life, with Gedatsu felling the Forest Boss by Jet Punch, just as he did the Dirt Boss.
