Griff tells about his encounter with Plue on Griffon Island a year before meeting Haru. Plue appears to be stranded on the island, desperately trying to swim his way out. Griff was patrolling the ocean at the time, keeping a sharp eye out for the Pudding Heads. However he sees Plue being toyed by a couple of dolphins in the ocean. Griff brings him back onto the island, noticing how hungry he is. Griff takes him to a candy factory, offering him a lollipop, which Plue immediately takes a liking to. Griff introduces Mikan, Isa, and Teppei, his crew members. Soon after the Pudding Heads begin their invasion on Griffon Island, dropping bombs of pudding and launching cannons of mousse from a pirate ship. After seeing that Griff and his crew are brave and courageous for protecting the island, Plue launches himself in front of the ship, using all his strength to halt the ship. After the ship increases its engines to full throttle, the ship explodes as a result. Plue lands in a lifeboat, however it begins to fall apart. Sinking deep into the water, Plue sees bait similar to the lollipop he had on Griffon Island, After taking the bait, he met Haru, as this is where their journey begins. (Source: Wikipedia)
