After narrowly avoiding capture by the Marines, the crew lands on the island and meets the island's commander, a man named Puzzle. Despite their initial distrust of each other, the Straw Hats team up with the G-8 Marines to take down a common enemy.

Luffy's Feelings!" the Straw Hats and the G-8 Marines continue their mission to take down the giant sea monster that is threatening both the island and their ships. As they try to outmaneuver the creature, Luffy becomes increasingly frustrated with his inability to fully control his new, Gear Second ability.

Meanwhile, Sanji, Usopp, and Puzzle's crew work together to create a plan to trap the sea monster.
