The Summit War arc witnessed the clash of many big names from the pirates and the Marines. Luffy was the only Straw Hat present during the war and had to suffer the death of his brother, Portgas D. Ace. The famous pirate Whitebeard also met his end here but confirmed the existence of One Piece in his final words.

One Piece timeskip lasts for two years, during which all the members of the Straw Hat crew train to boost their skills and prepare for the New World. Despite the two years of training, all the members of the Straw Hat crew interact with each other just the way they used to before the timeskip.

One Piece fan-favorite Roronoa Zoro begged Mihawk to train him. He went to Kuraigana island, which was the home of Humandrills and Mihawk.
