Summary:
On the ship, Chopper and Usopp frantically work to revive Robin through her frozen body. However, their efforts are slow to bear fruit and Chopper fears for his fate. Hearing his lack of certainty, Usopp freaks out and argues with him about being the only one who can save her, but Chopper counters that he's never dealt with a situation like this before. Robin keeps spraying her with water and she slowly begins to melt just as Chopper hears voices calling for him.
Outside the ship, Zoro, Sanji and Nami returned, but without Luffy. After being questioned, Chopper is told that they will come back for him, but their bodies must be thawed first. Told that Robin is already in the bathroom, Nami asks if he's okay, but Chopper remains uncertain. Suddenly Zoro and Sanji jump into the sea hoping it will help them. Nami is told to help unfreeze Robin and goes to do it. It wasn't long before Usopp asked Zoro and Sanji about Luffy and then revealed that he wanted to fight Admiral Aokiji alone. An angry Usopp confronts them and almost gets into a fight with Sanji before Zoro separates them and tells them to prepare for the worst.
Outside on the battlefield, a severely frozen Luffy pants heavily in the presence of the Marine Admiral. Rushing beneath him, Luffy is able to kick the massive man into the air and use Gomu Gomu no Storm. However, Aokiji soon descends and freezes Luffy upon contact with Ice Time, ending the battle. Seeing the frozen Luffy, Aokiji remembers that he agreed to fight one on one, so he would be breaking his word if he went after any of the other Straw Hats. Briefly wondering if Luffy thought he could win the fight, Aokiji prepares to leave, telling him that he will soon experience the misfortune that Robin brings wherever he goes.
Aokiji told him that even though he might break him, he owed him a favor since he helped fight the Crocodile, he even calls it, regardless of Smoker's message. Soon after, Sanji and Zoro arrive to find Luffy still in one piece and take him back to the ship. Looking at his map, Aokiji notices that the next city on it is Water 7, noting that they are approaching the headquarters.
Back on the ship, Chopper tells everyone that Robin and Luffy's hearts are beating again. As they cheer, Chopper stops them from going any further, telling them they still need to rest. Nami says that with them in that state, they should stay where they are for the day, even if the protocol is ready. Zoro notices Usopp and asks what's wrong with him, to which the sniper asks if they'll be seeing more people like that soon. Meanwhile, Robin wakes up in her bed.
