The girl he loved while away told their story to Hancock. In Chapter 6, Tashigi and Admiral Smoker visit an island under siege by fierce pirates. While there, Tashigi decides to help a young girl become strong enough to take revenge on the pirates who are destroying her home.
In Chapter 7, Vinsmoke Reiju and her brothers end up on a ship with no cook on board.
