• Robin cautioned that the unknown New World signal could be a trap set by pirates, bounty hunters, or the Navy.
• Ronan dismissed the danger of schemes and told Luffy to answer, vowing to wipe out anyone who targeted them.

Luffy answered a desperate Den Den Mushi call from Punk Hazard, where a survivor reported a samurai killing his companions before the caller was murdered. The Straw Hat Pirates realized the island held a dangerous mystery, and their first major New World adventure began.

• Luffy answered the unknown Den Den Mushi call and introduced himself, prompting Usopp to scold him for giving away personal information.

After the Straw Hats received a desperate call from Punk Hazard, Robin and Franky deduced that it came from the nearby burning island, while Brook explained the danger posed by Wano samurai. Luffy decided to investigate and rescue the caller, and the crew began arguing over who would join the advance team.

• Robin warned that the desperate call could be a trap, and Zoro asked Brook about the samurai mentioned in the message.

• Sanji suggested sending only an advance team, and Nami refused to let Luffy go alone.
• Sanji agreed with Nami and mocked Zoro as the crew considered who would accompany Luffy.

The Straw Hats drew lots to decide who would accompany Luffy to Punk Hazard, and Usopp reluctantly accepted Ronan’s challenge to face the island. As the crew approached the fiery island, Sanji brought Luffy a large wrapped box.

• Nami held a lottery to choose who would go ashore with Luffy, and Usopp drew the final red-tipped stick.
• Zoro and Robin revealed they had also drawn red-tipped sticks, while Usopp collapsed in dismay.
• Usopp begged Ronan to trade sticks, but Ronan told him to face the danger as a Brave Sea Warrior.
• The crew reached Punk Hazard, where intense heat vaporized the rain and shrouded the island in steam.
• Sanji carried a large, flower-wrapped box onto the deck and set it down in front of Luffy.

Zoro carved a passage through Punk Hazard’s boiling sea of fire with a powerful sword slash, allowing the scouting team to sail toward the island. As the crew watched them go, Ronan noticed that the rain had stopped.

• Sanji gave Luffy a specially prepared sea-beast bento for the dangerous exploration ahead.
• Zoro split the sea of fire and boiling seawater with a massive Shura Sword Qi slash, opening a temporary passage to Punk Hazard.

• Nami and the others noticed the rain had stopped as the Sunny Merry neared Punk Hazard.
• Ronan sensed that Luffy and Zoro would encounter activity on the island, while Nami saw its opposing regions of fire and ice through binoculars.
• More than a dozen figures in protective suits climbed aboard the Sunny Merry carrying a warning-marked barrel.
• The lead intruder opened the barrel, releasing a cloud of poisonous gas toward Nami and the crew.
• Sanji kicked the barrel and its poison gas into the sea before the cloud could spread across the deck.

Sanji defeated a group of masked attackers who ambushed the Merry with poison gas and automatic rifles. He brought their leader to Ronan and Nami, where the crew prepared to interrogate him.

• Sanji spotted the attackers after they used poison gas, and their leader ordered them to kill everyone.
• Sanji used Observation Haki to dodge the gunfire while lighting his cigarette, then asked Nami to let him capture the attackers alive.
• Sanji swiftly disabled the dozen attackers and tore the mask off their leader.
• Sanji brought the captured leader to Ronan and Nami, and the crew gathered around him.
• Sanji demanded to know who had sent the attackers and what they were doing on the island.

Ronan identified Caesar Clown and Doflamingo’s operation on Punk Hazard, revealing the island’s child experiments and poison-gas tests. As Nami reasoned that the Straw Hats had not yet been recognized as a threat, the crew prepared to confront Caesar.

• Sanji tortured the masked leader, who refused to reveal anything about his master’s plan.
• Ronan identified the prisoners as Caesar Clown’s men and explained Caesar’s secret partnership with Doflamingo and Kaido to produce SMILE fruits.

• Sanji demanded that the prisoner lead them to Caesar, but Nami warned that Punk Hazard’s defenses could be tight and concluded its leaders had not recognized their ship.

• Franky and Ronan agreed that the attackers' weak response showed they had underestimated the Straw Hat Pirates.
• Sanji warned that attacking Caesar's laboratory could bring Doflamingo and Kaido into conflict with them, but Ronan welcomed the challenge.
• Ronan told Chopper that the Straw Hat Pirates' future enemies were the Four Emperors and the World Government, since Luffy was destined to become Pirate King.
• Franky threw the captured attackers into the sea, leaving Chopper worried that they had lost their guide to Caesar.
• Sanji said Luffy had likely already caused chaos on Punk Hazard, and the crew sailed toward the island without a guide.

Ronan ordered the Straw Hat Pirates to bypass Fire Island and land at Punk Hazard’s Ice Island, where Caesar’s secret laboratory and SAD factory were located. As the crew approached the fortress through a blizzard, Caesar learned that the Straw Hat Pirates had arrived and realized he was in serious trouble.

• A Soldier rushed into Caesar Clown’s control room and reported that the patrol team had been wiped out and the Straw Hat Pirates had reached shore.
• Caesar confirmed that Luffy and his crew were on Punk Hazard and feared the consequences of their arrival.

• Caesar decided he could not confront the powerful intruders and contacted Doflamingo for help.
• Doflamingo asked whether Monet and Law could handle the visitors.

• Doflamingo reacted with shock and demanded to know how the Straw Hat Pirates had found Punk Hazard.
• Law watched Doflamingo’s reaction and realized the Straw Hat Pirates had shaken him.

Doflamingo ordered Caesar and Monet to keep the Straw Hats away from Punk Hazard’s underground SAD facilities, then learned that Ronan had arrived with the crew. Ronan’s gaze through a surveillance screen overwhelmed Law and destroyed the feed, leaving Doflamingo shaken by the threat.

• Doflamingo warned Caesar and Monet not to confront the Straw Hats directly and told them to protect the SAD experiments and factories until he could leave Dressrosa with his officers.
• A guard reported that intruders had landed on Ice Island, and Caesar brought up the coastal surveillance feed showing Ronan, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Franky, Brook, and the others arriving.
• Law recognized Ronan on the screen and felt an overwhelming sense of danger as Ronan looked directly at the hidden surveillance Den Den Mushi.
• Ronan’s gaze shattered the control-room screen, and Law gasped that he had felt as if he were about to die.
• Doflamingo heard the commotion over the Den Den Mushi and reacted with alarm when Law named Ronan, recalling Ronan’s clash with Garp two years earlier.

Doflamingo learned that Ronan was behind the Navy’s recent movements and ordered his men to welcome Ronan’s Group while he contacted Kaido. On Punk Hazard’s Ice Island, Ronan’s Group reached the experimental base, where Caesar, Monet, and Law came out to greet them.

• Doflamingo ordered his subordinates to treat Ronan’s Group with the utmost respect and avoid provoking them.

• Ronan’s Group crossed Ice Island, and Ronan warned them that frightened people were coming to greet them.
• Caesar, Monet, and Trafalgar Law emerged from the base with armed soldiers, and Caesar flatteringly welcomed Ronan’s Group.

Ronan confronted Caesar, Monet, and Law outside the research facility, and his overwhelming presence left them terrified. Caesar admitted they served Doflamingo, while Law questioned whether he could ever challenge the monsters of the New World.

• Caesar introduced himself as the facility’s master and apologized to Ronan for the earlier misunderstanding.
• Ronan asked whether Caesar, Monet, and Law were Doflamingo’s dogs.
• Caesar admitted that Doflamingo was their boss and feared Ronan’s silent, restrained presence.
