"Pekoms? What happened to him?"
The BIGMOM Pirates had split into several groups. Cracker led one group in hot pursuit of the Straw Hat Pirates, and their final lead pointed to this island. Thus, the pirate crew landed from all directions. Cracker's group encountered the Straw Hat Pirates first, while the other BIGMOM Pirates groups had yet to arrive.
