Read More about History
After the disguised Mr. 2 Bon Kurei attacked Nanohana and Mr. 1 and Miss Doublefinger crashed a galleon into the port, Sam ran around drunkenly while the townspeople ran in fear. It is later explained that he was there because his second daughter was getting married, and that even though his second daughter was apparently a troublemaker and despite the trouble she gave him, when she got married, he went out and got drunk because it saddened him that she was leaving. As a result, he somehow ended up in Arabasta after having one too many drinks.
Dead End Adventure
Sam was drunk and wandering around sometime before the Dead End Race began.
Anime And Manga Differences
Sam-san has made few appearances in the manga, however, he has also been featured in the background of the One Piece anime on several occasions. Despite his overall lack of appearances in the manga, he is one of the more common recurring hidden characters in the animated series. Additionally, his tie is purple in the manga, as shown in the Digitally Colored Manga and confirmed in the Vivre Card databook, but is shown as white in the anime.
