As Robin runs from Black Maria's Gifters, she is joined by Brook, who relieves that she was not tricked by the Illusion Mist. However, they are suddenly attacked by Black Maria herself as Robin remarks that Brook was immune to the mist as well. He explains that he saw his old crew, the Rumbar Pirates, in the mist. However, he saw though the illusion because of how often he hallucinated that his old crew was alive while he was stuck in the Florian Triangle for 50 years and was able to cut down the enemies hiding in the illusion. As the two continue running, Robin points out that they have a lot in common, and Brook thinks back to his time joining the Straw Hat Pirates. While Robin and Brook keep running, Black Maria swipes at them with Wanyudo, who is actually a Pug SMILE user who runs on the inside of the wheel of her weapon to generate flames, setting the floor ablaze.

Brook realizes that Wanyudo is a living being, sending his soul through him and freezing him, before Brook extinguishes the flames by covering the ground in ice.
