Luffy defeated the Fat Man after his Gatling gun and other weapons failed, while Nami used the armory key to bargain with the Witch over the crew’s treatment and departure. The crew prepared to leave without staying for Nami’s ordered rest, but Chopper hesitated to join them because he believed his appearance made him an incomplete animal rather than a person.
Chopper overcame his fear of leaving Witch and joined Luffy's crew as their ship's doctor, while Witch sent him off with a display of cherry blossoms. The crew sailed onward together, though Naruto sensed danger approaching later in their journey.
Luffy and the others crossed dangerous waters, rescued Mr. 2, and learned that his Clone-Clone Fruit let him imitate anyone he had seen. Still hungry, they sailed toward a fleet of hostile ships, while Luffy refused to fight without food.
Naruto helped the group prepare for No. 2’s disguises by giving them bandages to wear on their left wrists, then led them toward the Kingdom as a large Baroque Works fleet followed at a distance. After they went ashore, the duck spotted No. 3’s ship, prompting Long Nose to disguise himself, while Vivi seemed distracted.
