The group finally make it back to the giant room where they were killed and find most of their gear under the snow and not fully eaten by dungeon cleaners. They also find a huge Ice Golem, and Izutsumi proves invaluable in the fight! Back on the surface, Shuro and Kabru find the elves are already with the Lord of the Island, and Kabru rushes in to give his report to them all. He reveals that his village was destroyed when the elves rushed in to a dungeon there, and urges them all to evacuate the upper levels of the dungeon and seal it off, rather than feed it with more troops. On Level 6, Laios finally acknowledges a ghost he’s been seeing since his mana sickness, and the spirit takes them all to a beautiful village somewhere inside the dungeon, where they learn of Sissel, the Lunatic Magician. Once back in Level 6, they’re attacked by a Griffin and finally get to learn the tragic backstory of Senshi.

Takada is a 5th grade transfer student, and Nishimura is a bit of a gloomy girl that everyone else calls "The Grim Reaper." Takada is determined to figure how what makes her so special to get such a cool nickname, and what he finds is an awesome friend and someone who makes him happy to be around. Other classmates try to make fun of Takada for being around Nishimura, but Takada's carefree attitude turns all their jabs around and makes everything backfire. Nishimura finds herself with a friend at last, but can't help feeling like her first friend is a little clueless to all the bullying going around. Takada likens several bully tactics to video game or RPG storylines, and the two also find out that they could have been childhood neighbors had things gone differently.

The battle with Arlong concludes, and Luffy realizes how he can free Nami from her trap. But, in doing so, he manages to tick off the local naval officer who was doing business with Arlong for many years. Thus, Luffy gets a price on his head of 30 million berries, far more than Arlong, Don Krieg, or Kudo. The crew finally sail off towards the Grand Line, but decide to make one more stop at Roguetown, the site of the execution of Gold Roger, the original King of the Pirates, but another chance for them to stock up on provisions and other supplies. Luffy stops off at the site of the Pirate King’s execution and runs into some old foes who have partaken in the Devil’s fruits themselves and undergone some transformation. Their altercation brings out the local soldiers, but Nami’s keen senses helps her realize a storm is rolling in on the island.
It’s the end of the Strongest under the Heavens tournament, and it’s no surprise that Goku and Kuririn have made it through to the finals. Also in the finals are some colorful side characters, including Bacterium, who dispatches his opponents with his lack of bathing, and Jackie Chen, who faces off against Kuririn. Back again is Yamcha, who is also in the finals. Goku and Kuririn learn some valuable moral lessons during the tournament and have some great reflection time with Master Roshi afterwards. After the tournament, Goku decides it’s time to go after the dragon balls again because he wants the one his grandpa left him, not because he wants a wish. He sets off alone with Bulma’s radar to guide him, and he soon finds out that he is not the only one seeking the dragon balls. His quest sets him up against the Red Ribbon Army, an organized, well funded crime group that has a less sophisticated radar and no morals when it comes to achieving their goals.
