The Straw Hat Pirates met Iceberg and the Galley-La shipwrights to arrange repairs for the Going Merry, while Lina’s clash with Kalifa exposed how closely the crew was being scrutinized. As they headed back to their ship, Kaku considered the government’s plans, and the chapter revealed that World Government spies had been watching the crew since they arrived in Water 7.

• Usopp panicked at Kaku's warning that the Going Merry was nearing the end of its lifespan and demanded an explanation.

Kaku told the Straw Hat crew that the Going Merry’s damaged keel and main structure meant it was unlikely to survive their voyage, and he recommended replacing it in Water 7. Lina left to seek another repair option, then confronted Franky Family after discovering they had stolen the crew’s money.

• Kaku explained that even costly repairs could only extend the Going Merry’s life and advised Luffy to consider buying a new ship.
