At the Loguetown execution platform, Luffy is trapped by Buggy and Alvida while a crowd gathers below. Buggy locks him into the same wooden frame used for Gol D. Roger and announces a public execution. The other Straw Hats rush toward the square, but Marines and Buggy's crew delay them. Smoker watches from a distance, curious about how Luffy will react to certain death. Unable to escape, Luffy apologizes to his crew and smiles, declaring that he is going to die. The expression shocks Smoker because Roger reportedly smiled the same way before his execution. Buggy swings his sword, but a sudden lightning strike destroys the platform and saves Luffy. Rain and violent wind sweep through the city, creating confusion. Zoro and Sanji reach their captain, and the crew begins running for the harbor. Smoker personally confronts Luffy and discovers that his smoke-based Devil Fruit makes him difficult to hit. Tashigi challenges Zoro after learning his identity. The episode transforms Luffy's visit to Roger's execution site into a near repetition of history, while the unexplained storm suggests that chance—or something more deliberate—is pushing him toward the Grand Line.
