However, O-Kiku informs them that Jack had actually survived his disaster. However, as Luffy and Zoro remember, Jack was swatted away a long time ago by a giant elephant, presumed to be dying.
The townspeople fear the man behind Holdem who paralyzes those beneath him in fear: Jack the Draught. However, as O-Kiku points out, it would be best not to provoke Holdem any further. Luffy has no idea who any of these people are, yet Holdem insists they have to be a part of the guild, or else they'd never be able to get this far. Holdem seems to believe Luffy and the gang have some ties to Shutenmaru, the head of a guild of thieves known as the Atamayama Thieves Brigade, who have been stealing from the Shogun's private gardens. Holdem's lion belly, Kamijiro, keeps O-Tama firmly clamped between his jaws, threatening to break her in two should Luffy dare take a step forward.
