Some World Nobles tried to get a head start but they were stopped and informed that the hunt would begin in an hour, giving the people time to run and hide. Several of them were running desperately for their
lives and begging it all to be a dream, while others claimed that it was not right for humans to treat other humans as their toys. Meanwhile, Kong contacted Monkey D. Garp, who was on vacation. Kong wanted Garp to go to Hachinosu but he would not say why, because if something happened, he would be in trouble. Garp surmised that Kong was talking about the World Nobles’ "field trip" and reminded Kong that he had told him many times not to mess with Hachinosu, and not to underestimate the Rocks Pirates wanting to take back the island's "treasure". Garp then asked what Kong had to be scared of if he had escorts, but when Kong mentioned Roger was involved, Garp immediately
declared that he was going. However, the Rocks Pirates had already left Hachinosu.

Some people believed that they would go free if they survived the three weeks of the competition, but Ivankov stated that was a lie to give them false hope in order to make the game more interesting. Therefore, if they wanted to live, they needed to move right now.
