The Straw Hats return to Water Seven after the ordeal at Enies Lobby. While there, they are met by a familial vice admiral, and they await news of their new ship.
Two days later in Water Seven, Franky hears that the item he purchased with the Straw Hats' stolen money has arrived. While the pirates recover from the events at Enies Lobby, a Marine vice admiral arrives to pay Luffy an unexpected visit.
The Straw Hats have barely had time to marvel at their new bounties when a new surprise awaits them: the unveiling of their magnificent new ship. The next step is bringing a shipwright into their ranks, and there is only one man for the job.
The Straw Hats set sail, but Usopp is conspicuously missing. Zoro soberly reminds Luffy that Usopp's return should not be granted so casually. More immediately, the pirates need to avoid Garp’s barrage of cannon balls!
The Straw Hats’ new wanted posters begin circulating around the world, but three days earlier, Blackbeard began plotting their pursuit. However, one obstacle stood in his way; Ace had finally caught up to his estranged crewmate!
