The Shandia clash with the Priests and the Straw Hats reunite at the sacrificial altar. They set up a camp where they all discuss what happened to them.

Wyper then states that they are the citizens of the Blue Sea that caused a racket at Skypiea, and that if they don’t want to die, they should go back to the Blue Sea, and warns them to do not try to do anything weird at the Island, otherwise he will treat them like Enel, and eliminate them too. Luffy then asks for a fight, Usopp tells him to not say anything more and Sanji asks if the Shandia and God are really enemies. Wyper remarks that they are going to need to be strong to leave the island alive.
Luffy wonders what´s their problem, and then the group continues their ride. Back in Karasumaru, the group enjoys their ride on the Milky Road, and wonder if it’s going to be this calm all the way to the altar. As the sun sets, the Shandia and the Priests continue their fight. The other members of the crew go back to the Going Merry, and notice that the mast is missing. They then call for Chopper. The latter tells them nothing really bad happened and the formers ask for him to tell them what happened. Luffy, Usopp and Sanji then reunite with the others. Chopper tells Usopp what happened to the mast, and then the crew goes to check on Gan Fall. Sanji remarks that in the ship’s current condition and the sky getting dark, they must camp there for the night. Each Straw Hat Pirates then reports on the situation and tells the crew the information each one gathered, while Sanji and Chopper take care of Gan Fall. Luffy then states that they will “go and find the gold”.
