Group 1 ventures into the forest, searching for Pekoms. However, they soon realize that the entire forest is made of candy, and they can't find their way out. The sweet aroma overwhelms them, making it impossible to think clearly.
Luffy's mysterious behavior starts to freak them out. They stumble upon Luffy lying on the ground, acting like a cat. He's purring and rubbing his face on the ground, completely unaware of his surroundings.
But before they can react, multiple versions of Luffy appear from the woods. They're everywhere, and Group 1 can't count how many there are. It's like they're surrounded by an army of Luffys.
Just as they're about to attack, a woman named Brule emerges from a mirror behind them. She's elegant, with a sly smile.
"You will regret coming to this island and ruining Big Mom's festival," she says, her voice dripping with menace.
With a wave of her hand, Brule takes Sanji and disappears into thin air, leaving Group 1 stunned and helpless.
The crew finds themselves surrounded by strange, glowing trees that seem to be watching them. The air is thick with an eerie energy.
Group 1 takes off, running for their lives. They don't know where they're going, but they need to get out of this strange forest.
