The ship slides fast through a violent channel, and the warning goes out: "KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR REEFS!!" Someone laughs breathlessly, "HYAH HHHHH HHH!!" The crew is alarmed by the speed and the strange water: "IT'S LIKE WE'RE GOING DOWN A SLOPE!! WHAT'S WITH THESE WATERS!?" Luffy shouts, "THE SHIP'S GOING REAL FAST!!" Brook observes, "IT'S A 'SEASLOPE.' THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM," and then corrects a misunderstanding: "NO, BROOK. IT'S NOT LAMB. IT'S 'LAMB MERRY' #2." He adds, "INCIDENTALLY YOU'RE THE EIGHTH PERSON WHO'S ASKED." Franky explains why the Mini Merry returned: "YOU SEE, THERE WAS A CHANNEL RIGHT NEAR THE LAB, YEAH? SO I TOOK SUNNY AND ESCAPED FROM THERE." He also says, "AFTER HITTING THE OCEAN, I WENT RIGHT BACK TO THE ENTRANCE IN ORDER TO RETRIEVE THE MINI MERRY." Brook is relieved: "LAMB-CHAN WAS ALRIGHT. THANK GOODNESS." Page 10: On the Sunny, the destination becomes the next shock. Luffy yells, "NAMI!! WHERE WAS IT AGAIN? WHERE'RE WE GOING NOW?" Nami answers, "SOMEWHERE CALLED 'DRESSROSA'," and explains that "TORA-MAN-KUN SAID THAT WE'LL ARRIVE THERE... NOT BY FOLLOWING THIS MIDDLE NEEDLE DIRECTLY, BUT BY TAKING A ROUNDABOUT ROUTE." Kin'emon hears the name and reacts with horror: "D... DRESSROSA!?" Luffy notices: "YOU KNOW IT?" Kin'emon stammers, "THE... THE ISLAND THAT WE... ERR... THAT I WISH TO GO TO." Luffy then reveals who he spoke to before: "DOFLA-MINGO." Sanji immediately identifies the danger: "DOFLAMINGO!? THE GUY KNOWN AS THE WORST OF THE SHICHIBUKAI!!" Law says, "THE PLAN IS ALREADY IN MOTION." Luffy, delighted rather than cautious, shouts, "OH YEAH, TELL US THE PLAN!! EVERYBODY!! GATHER ROUND!!"
