When the marines arrived, the crew witnessed the scene of their captain knocked out and captured by the Straw Hat Pirates. Surprise and bewilderment dominated the faces of the marines as they saw Smoker in such a situation, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the surroundings as they processed the unexpected turn of events.

"Is that Captain Smoker?!" They shouted, even though they knew the answer, and quickly rushed to confront the pirates as the ship's ramp fell from the beach.

50 marines stood in front of Luffy like a dissatisfied crowd, ready to attack and retrieve their captain, even though they were quite scared since their captain wasn't someone in the East Blue who could be defeated due to his smoke Logia. Yet, here he was knocked out after a few minutes off the ship; this was unbelievable.

"Release Captain Smoker, you scum!" a girl yelled in front of the marines, leaving many Straw Hat pirates stunned.

"Hey, why am I seeing a Kuina dressed in the burden of the navy?!" Zoro asked incredulously and instantly looked at the ship, making sure Kuina was still there hidden.

Kuina herself looked equally shaken on the ship.

"She looks so much like me! Did I have a twin sister, and I didn't know?!" She wondered, but no one in particular answered.

"Incredible, Kuina-Sama has a sister!" Shirahoshi seemed amazed.

"Hello, Kuina's sister!" Yamato happily shouted.

"Kuina, you didn't tell me you had a sister in the navy!" Nojiko asked, looking at the Black Pearl.

"I don't have a sister! At least not that I know of." She replied quietly, and no one could hear her because she didn't want to draw attention.

"The sea is very mysterious, and it's all these mysteries that I seek answers to!" Luffy announced, gaining some curiosity about the relationship between the two, as it was never shown in the story.

"What are you talking about, pirates!? Release Captain Smoker immediately!" Tashigi growled, making all the other marines point their weapons at the pirates.

"Let's make a deal. I know you have a den den mushi that can contact the headquarters. I'll free your captain once I talk to them." Luffy said, and the marines looked surprised and skeptical.

"As if we could trust a pirate who killed dozens of navy soldiers! You are the worst scum in this sea, especially with Roronoa Zoro and Lami, two ex-bounty hunters who managed to fall even further to become pirates!" She spoke angrily.

"So you're not concerned about your captain, what fine navy soldiers you are! I expected that from Akainu, not from you..." Luffy mocked.

"What do you mean?!"

"Simple, give me the den den mushi; otherwise, forget about your captain. I'll invade another marine base and contact them there, or I can simply take you all down, so it's better to appreciate my courtesy, as I'm in a good mood today." Luffy simply said, although he could knock them down and board the ship, he still asked them before knocking all of them out.

"Damn pirate! Fine, bring the den den mushi!" In the end, Tashigi yielded for Smoker's safety.

After a marine returned and went to the pirates with the special den den mushi, Luffy took the initiative and dialed a specific number he obtained from Shell City's Base 153.

"That damn pirate! What do you plan to do?!" Smoker, waking up at that moment, growled like a madman, as he had been captured by pirates and saw Luffy using the navy's communication device.
