    Koby begs Luffy not to free Zolo, but Luffy confidently smiles, saying Zolo won't kill them because Luffy wouldn't let him. Suddenly, a young girl with short dark hair and a striped shirt sneaks up to the wall with a ladder, telling them to be quiet.

    The little girl climbs over the wall and runs into the courtyard toward Zolo. Koby is terrified for her safety, but Luffy watches calmly. The girl offers Zolo homemade rice balls, but Zolo harshly tells her to get lost and threatens to stomp her to death if she doesn't leave, claiming he isn't hungry.

    Suddenly, the courtyard gate opens and Helmeppo, the son of Captain Morgan, enters flanked by two Marine guards. Luffy and Koby watch from the wall, wondering who this strange, eccentric man is. Zolo mockingly calls Helmeppo an "idiot son living off daddy's wealth," prompting Helmeppo to angrily warn Zolo to watch his tongue.

    Helmeppo snatches a rice ball from the little girl and takes a bite, only to spit it out in disgust because she used sugar instead of salt. He then throws the rice balls onto the ground and stomps on them repeatedly, completely crushing them into the dirt while laughing cruelly, leaving the little girl devastated.
