With Nami escaping aboard the Going Merry, Johnny and Yosaku pursue her while Luffy remains at Baratie with Sanji and the injured Zoro. Krieg's officer Pearl attacks the restaurant, claiming that his armor has made him invincible through hundreds of battles. Sanji counters with powerful kicks and repeatedly cracks Pearl's shields, but the fighter ignites his armor when he sees his own blood, threatening to burn Baratie. The cooks struggle to extinguish the flames as Sanji continues protecting the ship. Gin unexpectedly takes Zeff hostage and points a gun at him, forcing Sanji to stop resisting. He explains that although he owes Sanji his life, he cannot abandon Krieg and has been ordered to kill the cook personally. Pearl takes advantage of Sanji's restraint and beats him severely. Luffy becomes angry that Sanji allows himself to be hurt for Zeff's sake, but Sanji insists that he would rather die than let the old chef be harmed. Gin finally strikes Pearl down himself, demanding the right to settle his debt with Sanji. The confrontation shifts from a battle over the restaurant to a painful test of loyalty and gratitude.

As Gin prepares to fight Sanji, the story reveals why the cook feels bound to Zeff. Years earlier, Sanji worked as a trainee cook on a passenger ship and dreamed of finding the All Blue, a legendary sea where fish from every ocean gather. When Zeff's pirate crew attacked, a violent storm destroyed both ships. Zeff saved Sanji from drowning because the boy shared his belief in the All Blue. Stranded together on a barren rock, Zeff gave Sanji a bag that appeared much smaller than his own and told him to watch for ships from the opposite side. After weeks without rescue, Sanji attacked Zeff for food and discovered that the older man had given him all the provisions. Zeff had survived by eating his own leg, sacrificing both his livelihood as a kicking pirate and his food so Sanji could live. They were eventually rescued, and Zeff built Baratie so no sailor would be denied a meal. In the present, Sanji believes he cannot leave the man who saved him. Luffy argues that surviving and pursuing their shared dream would repay Zeff better than dying.

Gin attacks Sanji with heavy iron tonfas, demonstrating why Krieg's crew calls him the Man-Demon. Sanji refuses to defend himself properly while Zeff remains a hostage, allowing Gin to break his ribs and batter him across the deck. Even so, Gin remembers the meal Sanji gave him and begins hesitating before the final strike. Krieg condemns that compassion as weakness and orders Gin to kill the cook immediately. When Gin admits that he cannot do it, Krieg sentences him along with everyone else and prepares his MH5 poison-gas weapon. The pirates panic because they know the gas will kill anyone who breathes it. Krieg distributes protective masks but secretly denies Gin one as punishment. Luffy and the Baratie fighters obtain masks while Sanji searches for a way to save Gin. At the moment the gas shell explodes, Gin throws his own mask to Luffy, believing the captain's enemy must survive. Sanji then discovers another mask beside him and assumes Gin protected him as well. After the cloud clears, Gin remains standing only briefly before collapsing from exposure. His refusal to murder Sanji finally breaks Krieg's control over him and strengthens Luffy's determination to defeat the commodore.

Luffy charges Don Krieg after the poison-gas attack, furious that the commodore treats his crew as disposable equipment. Krieg relies on an arsenal hidden within his armor, including guns, spikes, nets, flamethrowers, and exploding projectiles. Luffy repeatedly forces his way through the weapons, taking direct hits rather than slowing down. Krieg boasts that strategy and superior gear make him the strongest man in East Blue, but Luffy argues that courage cannot be manufactured. Sanji watches in disbelief as Luffy attacks without protecting himself, while Zeff recognizes that the young captain's refusal to fear death gives him an advantage Krieg cannot understand. Krieg deploys a massive spear whose impacts trigger explosions. Luffy shatters its head despite injuring his hands, proving that determination can overcome even the commodore's prized weapon. Krieg then throws a weighted steel net over Luffy and knocks him into the sea, expecting the Devil Fruit user to drown. Luffy stretches his arms back to the wreckage and launches himself upward, carrying Krieg into the air. The battle continues above the water, with both fighters exhausted but unwilling to surrender and the floating restaurant breaking apart around them.

Caught in Krieg's steel net, Luffy drags both himself and his opponent high above the sea. He breaks free by striking Krieg through the net, then drives the armored commodore into Baratie's wreckage with a powerful finishing attack. Krieg rises again in a delirious rage, insisting that he remains undefeated even after his armor shatters. Gin finally restrains him and orders the surviving pirates to withdraw, recognizing that their captain has lost. Before leaving, Gin asks Sanji to tell Luffy that they may meet again on the Grand Line. He refuses treatment for the poison and carries Krieg away with the remnants of the fleet. Luffy falls into the water after the fight, but Sanji dives in and saves him. Zeff declares Luffy's debt for the damaged restaurant settled, though Luffy still wants Sanji as his cook. Sanji continues resisting because of his obligation to Baratie. The other chefs deliberately insult his food and claim they no longer need him, hoping to push him toward his dream. Sanji sees through their performance but remains emotionally trapped, while Luffy confidently waits for him to make the choice himself.

Luffy recovers from his battle with Krieg and prepares to follow Nami, but he refuses to leave without Sanji. Zeff and the Baratie cooks increase their efforts to drive Sanji away, criticizing his meals and pretending that his presence causes trouble. Sanji responds angrily, yet understands that they are trying to free him from his sense of debt. When he overhears the cooks praising him privately, he finally accepts that the restaurant can survive without him. Luffy invites him once more, and Sanji agrees to join the crew and search for the All Blue. Before departing, he attempts a casual farewell, but Zeff tells him not to catch cold. The simple kindness breaks Sanji's composure. He kneels, thanks Zeff for everything, and cries openly while the cooks also weep and shout goodbye. Sanji boards a small boat with Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp, bringing supplies for the pursuit of the Going Merry. Zeff watches from Baratie as his adopted son sails toward the dream they share. The crew now has a dedicated cook, but their navigator and ship remain in Nami's hands somewhere ahead.

Usopp, Zoro, and Johnny arrive separately near Cocoyashi Village, where they meet Nojiko and learn that the residents live under heavy tribute demands. Zoro allows himself to be captured and brought before Arlong, partly to discover Nami's intentions. When Nami appears, she claims that she never cared about the Straw Hats and only traveled with them to steal treasure. Zoro tests her by throwing himself into the sea while tied up; Nami immediately dives in and saves him, exposing that she is not as indifferent as she pretends.

Arlong's officer Chew captures him, and Nami appears to stab Usopp before throwing him into the sea. The fish-men believe she has killed her former companion, but Usopp survives because Nami stabbed her own hand and concealed him beneath the water.

Luffy finally reaches the island but shows little interest in hearing Nami's past, insisting that she must ask for help herself.

After escaping Nami's staged attack, Usopp reunites with the others and confirms that she saved his life. Johnny, however, still believes Nami has betrayed them and argues that the crew should abandon the island. Zoro, weakened by his chest wound, is recaptured after confronting Arlong's men. Arlong questions how he can remain alive after such an injury and orders him held for execution. Nami tries to convince the Straw Hats to leave by returning their ship and treasure, but Luffy refuses to sail without his navigator. He lies down outside the village and waits, trusting that her true feelings will eventually surface. Sanji and Usopp explore the area while Nojiko decides to tell them Nami's history. At Arlong Park, Zoro deliberately provokes the fish-men and demonstrates that pain will not make him submit. Nami continues working on maps while watching the situation deteriorate.

Nojiko gathers Sanji and Usopp and begins explaining why Nami joined Arlong. Eight years earlier, the fish-man pirates invaded the Conomi Islands and forced every resident to pay a survival tax. Nami and Nojiko were raised by Bellemere, a former Marine who found them as children after a battle. Though poor, the three lived as a loving family in a small tangerine grove. Young Nami showed remarkable skill at drawing maps and dreamed of charting the entire world. Arlong recognized her talent and decided that she would be useful to his ambitions. In the present, Usopp tells the crew that Nami only pretended to kill him, proving that she still considers them friends. Zoro escapes confinement by defeating his guards, while Arlong becomes increasingly suspicious of Nami's divided loyalties. Luffy refuses to listen to the story and wanders away, saying he does not need a reason to believe in her. Nojiko continues describing the day Arlong came to their home, when Bellemere faced an impossible choice between paying tribute for herself or acknowledging that the two girls were her daughters.

Nojiko's account returns fully to Nami's childhood. Bellemere had rescued infant Nami and young Nojiko from a war-torn village and left the Marines to raise them in Cocoyashi. Their household often lacked money, but Bellemere taught the girls pride, independence, and the importance of family. Nami's talent for navigation grew alongside her frustration with poverty, leading to an argument in which she said that Bellemere was not her real mother. Before they could reconcile, Arlong's crew occupied the island and demanded one hundred thousand berries from each adult and half that amount for every child. Bellemere possessed enough money to pay only for herself or for the two girls. Genzo and the villagers urged her to deny having daughters, but she could not erase their relationship to save her own life. Bellemere used the money for Nami and Nojiko and openly declared them her children. Arlong prepared to execute her as an example. In the present, Nojiko explains that this moment defined Nami's later bargain with the fish-men. Sanji and Usopp finally understand that Nami's apparent betrayal grew from sacrifice rather than greed.

Arlong shoots Bellemere in front of Nami and Nojiko after she pays the children's tribute instead of her own. Before dying, Bellemere tells them that she loves them and urges them to survive. Arlong then abducts Nami and forces her to create nautical charts for his crew. When the villagers prepare to attack, Nami returns with Arlong's mark tattooed on her shoulder and announces a bargain: if she can collect one hundred million berries, Arlong will sell her Cocoyashi Village. She insists that she has joined the pirates willingly, causing the villagers to pretend they believe her so she will not feel responsible for them. Over the next eight years, Nami steals from pirates and hides the money in Bellemere's tangerine grove. In the present, she is close to the required amount and still believes the agreement can end the occupation. Nojiko asks the Straw Hats to leave because Nami has endured everything alone to prevent more bloodshed. Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp are furious but wait for Nami's decision, following Luffy's example. Meanwhile, Arlong secretly contacts the corrupt Marine officer Nezumi, setting a plan in motion to steal Nami's savings without technically breaking his promise.
