The Straw Hats intercept a distress call from Kin'emon, a samurai from Wano Country who lost his son Momonosuke on the island of Punk Hazard, which is half ice and half fire.

The island is the base of Caesar Clown, a scientist who formerly worked with Dr. Vegapunk, but now works under Joker/Donquixote Doflamingo to produce a substance needed to make [=SMILEs=], which are artificial devil fruits.

* FakeDistressCall: Invoked and subverted: Robin warns Luffy against picking up a distress call, as they're often bogus calls used by Marines to find pirates' location. She was only half-right on this, as while the Marines ''were'' listening in, the call the Straw Hats picked up was genuine.

At the end of the arc it's revealed the shell actually paralyzes the victim while the gas kills them; so long as the shell is broken before they die, they'll survive. A team of Marines and prisoners head back onto the island to save as many victims as possible.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Luffy, as always. In fact, the three strongest of the protagonists of this arc (Luffy, Law, and Smoker), and their respective crews, allies, and subordinates are all this. Thanks to a timely distress call, Luffy and co. ended up going to Punk Hazard. Smoker, still obsessed with chasing after Luffy, orders the men and Tashigi to follow them. Then, at the island, thanks to Law hearing news of their arrival, decided to finally turn on Doflamingo. What was once a highly secret operation that involved producing faux-Devil Fruits and a major WMD for Doflamingo is now in complete ruins, with the scientist responsible half-way dead and two of his most reliable subordinates on the verge of or ''already'' dead. All just because some samurai ran off to the island to find his kid, which ''caused'' the aforementioned distress call.

He is also the first person shown to be able to coat his entire body in Haki.
