Chapter Summaries

Reiner and his companions rented Marlin Blues in Water 7, exchanged their gold for 300 million berries, and headed to Galley-La Company to repair the Going Merry. They arrived at Dock 1, where a shipyard worker stopped Luffy as he tried to enter.

• Reiner and Luffy entered the Blue Rental shop, where the owner recommended four Marlin Blues for their group and gave them a map of Water 7.

The Straw Hat Crew entered Galley-La’s Dock 1 with Kokoro’s letter of introduction and met Iceburg, Kalifa, and Kaku. After Reiner caught Kalifa’s kick and Nami struck him into a wall, the crew set out with Kaku to inspect the Going Merry, unaware that World Government agents were monitoring them.

• Kaku let the Straw Hat Crew into Dock 1 after Nami showed him Kokoro’s letter, and he explained Iceburg’s status in Water 7.

• Kaku considered the crew’s strength and wondered whether Blueno had contacted Nico Robin as the Straw Hats traveled across Water 7.

Kaku inspected the Going Merry and found that its main structure was intact, but the ship had extensive surface damage and little time left before it could no longer sail. The crew was left confronting the prospect of losing their ship after learning that repairs could not reverse its aging.

• Reiner and Usopp told Nami they had both seen a translucent figure aboard the Going Merry, frightening her with the possibility of a ghost.
