Luffy, Zero, and Sanji are sneaking through the base in search of Zoro and Usopp.

Sanji: This fortress is really starting to drive me nuts.

Luffy: Hey Sanji, where are Zoro and Usopp.

Sanji: Well detective, since they were captured. They're probably in the brig.

Zero: Then let's storm the brig!

Luffy: To the brig!

Sanji: Do either of you know where the brig is?

Luffy/Zero: Thought you knew.

Sanji: How would I know that. Zero can't you sniff them out?

Zero: I've tried I'm not picking up anything.

Sanji: Tch then we'll find them the old fashioned way.

They stop glancing out a window seeing an island in the middle of the fortress.

Luffy: That belly button island with the guns looks suspicious.

Sanji: Oh yeah why's that?

Luffy: I don't know.

Sanji: In any case you might be onto something. It's surrounded by the sea and the only way to get there is to cross that bridge.

Luffy: Alrighty.

Zero: Let's go already.

The door to the hall they're in opens as a marine walks in. He looks down the hall but the three have disappeared. Said marine then takes out of his pocket a transponder snail.

Marine: Sir, I'm in section 4 block F, nothing unusual to report.

Marine 2: Good work keeps searching.

Marine: Yes sir!

He leaves the hall continuing his search as we look up to see in the air vent hide the three Straw Hats.

Sanji: Crap the patrols are using mini transponder snails to communicate. This will be tough.

Luffy: Hey Sanji, secret mission are fun huh?

Zero: We're totally like spies. Uoo we should have code names.

Sanji: How about monkey boy and pain in my ass.

While the three of them continue traveling through the vents we find Robin still in the bases archives.

Robin: (This is strange. There's time when no ships enter or leave. Why is that?)

Looking around she sees multiple marines observing her in the shadows.

Robin: (I'm being watched.)

Down in the brig we see that the marines have captured the real Major Shepherd but unknowing of his true identity they lock him up with Usopp and Zoro.

Shepherd: What do you think you're doing soldier?! Do you peons know who I am?!

Marine: Oh yeah. You made sure to tell us over and over. You're Special Inspector Major Shepherd, from HQ.

Shepherd: If you know who I am, and you value your job then get me out of here! I have to speak to Commander Johnathan immediately!

Usopp: (Major Shepherd? This must be the marine big wig that Robin is pretending to be. Those guards think he's one of us. In that case.) That's enough you're embarrassing yourself. A man's gotta know when he's done for. Struggling will only make it worse. Good to see you, Condoriano.
