Nami explains her actions to Buggy, putting on a show: "I had a dispute with my employer! He's an idiot, so I thought I'd join up with you!" Buggy stares at her in silence for a moment ("Huh?...") before bursting into a loud, booming laugh: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!! Buggy, thoroughly amused, says, "Idiot, eh? You've got spunk! I think I will let you join my crew!" Meanwhile, Luffy is thrown into a wooden cage, which shuts with a loud "KLANG!!". He grumbles to Nami, "Just forget about joining my crew, now!" Nami turns away with a satisfied smile, thinking to herself, "Infiltration accomplished! Now to grab Buggy's treasure and the map of the Grand Line......and make a quick getaway!!"

Out on the water, Roronoa Zoro is on a small boat being rowed by two of Buggy's terrified crewmen (the one with the checkered bandana and the one with wavy hair). The crewman says, "This is it, Master Zolo." Zoro looks at the town ahead and remarks, "It looks like a ghost town. Where is everyone?" The crewman replies, "Well you see, sir... we've taken over the town. The two crewmen sweat nervously, whispering to each other, "What'll we tell Captain Buggy? We're coming back empty-handed... We'll just have to tell him the truth. It's all that girl's fault!" Zoro, standing tall, slightly unsheathes his sword with a sharp sound ("DA-DOOM!") and commands, "C'mon. Take me to your captain. Maybe he knows where Luffy is."
