The Straw Hat Pirates are at sea. No land for miles out. Sanji lies asleep on the deck, underneath the tree while Brooke and Chopper are mopping the main deck of the ship. Sanji has been trying to sleep a lot more lately since the nightmares came back, ever since he faced his brothers, sister, and father, Judge Vinsmoke, in battle.

Unbeknownst to the Straw Hat Pirates, deep down underneath the ocean underneath the ship, two Sea Kings follow closely due to detecting Luffy above on the ship. Luffy started to laugh hysterically at Ussop's joke. He laughs so hard that it causes a stir in the Sea King's underneath, leading them to accidentally bump the ship making it rise up and out of the water like jumping. This severe bump on the ship causes the bucket that Brooke and Chopper were using to mop the floors, to tumble and spill the water, fly up in the air and cover Sanji's head while he sleeps.

Just then, as all the pirates had rushed over to the side of the ship, they spotted the two Sea Kings. Sanji wakes up suddenly startled with the bucket over his head. Something within Sanji quickly snaps as his brain tries not to relive his childhood. He screams with a deep Russian accent, “Не делай этого со мной снова, Отец! Пожалуйста, не снова! Я УБЬЮ ТЕБЯ, СУДЬЯ!” {Don't do this to me again, Father! Please don't again! I WILL KILL YOU JUDGE!} But for some reason, he screams a language only known to those in Wano. Zoro out of anxiety starts screaming back, "Никто не причинит тебе вреда прямо сейчас. Ты в безопасности, Санджи."{No one will harm you right now. You're safe, Sanji}

He stands up and starts running around the ship, kicking, and his legs create flames as he screams all these different languages. The other pirates, confused, just spun around, looking at Sanji, wondering what was going on with him.

Finally, Zoro grabs the bucket off of his head, but Sanji just drops onto his knees in the middle of the deck, speaking in a low tone in the language that no one can understand. Zoro however, after spending two years in Wano, can partially make out what Sanji is saying. It was almost like he was stuck in a trance while the rest of the crew stared at each other, some looking to Zoro to see if maybe he knows what Sanji's saying because they knew he managed to pick up the language while he was training. All Zoro said was, “It sounds like, ‘Please no.......Not again..—...I thought I escaped...’ Do any of you guys know what that means?”

All the pirates are genuinely concerned now that Sanji is in a vulnerable mental state, they don't know what's going on or what made him change and why he's not speaking to them, but he only speaks in this language and looks confused, as if he doesn't know where he is. You can tell that Sanji knows where he is, but there's something that Sanji doesn't understand either. So the Straw Hats talk to Chopper, —since he's like a doctor— and they tell him to take Sanji into his room and to lay him down on the bed and see if maybe Chopper can help him medically if not physically.

While Chopper is running all these tests to see what he can find out, he also has Robin in the room. One of the pirates happened to see an island. They wanted to go to this island hoping to find some sort of medicine or talk to another doctor for Sanji, and also get supplies to resupply the ship. What they don't know, is that Big Mom and her pirates are on the other side of the island docked, restocking their ships and harassing the villagers that live there, making sure that they get all the supplies.

As Luffy gets off the ship, he hears a booming voice, “WHY DON'T YOU HAVE ANY SEA KING MEAT HERE!!” Hearing that, he runs towards the voice only to find a village that Big Mom and her pirates are using for restocking the ship. The rest of the crew, except for Sanji, Chopper, and Robin, soon make their way into the village.
