That night, stars dotted the sky!
The entire Poppy Island was ablaze with lights, and its bustle ranked among the greatest in the world.
Every street was full of people coming and going. The taverns, casinos, Red Light District, shopping malls, pharmacies, and everywhere else were even more crowded and noisy.
The manor halfway up the mountain was also brilliantly lit.
Inside the lavish, splendid hall, everyone from the Richest Group was having dinner.
The meal had to be worth at least a hundred million berries, with a dazzling array of rare ingredients!
The wine rack nearby was stocked with countless varieties of liquor, too.
Chaos sat at the head of the table, scooping up curry rice with a spoon as he read the documents in his hand.
Down the table, Enel and the others were stuffing themselves. Only Stussy, Kuma, and Betty were eating at a leisurely pace or with grace.

"Right. This guy's famous across the seas."
"He's already robbed our casino branches 401, 402, 403, 404, and 405 on the Grand Line, costing us close to ten billion berries."
"He's a Devil Fruit user, but we don't know what his ability is."
"He's very mysterious."
"Other powers and kingdoms across the seas have fallen victim to him, too."
"We have to deal with him."
