Zoro, Usopp, Franky, and Robin are incognito inside Wano Country. Zoro poses as a ronin, Usopp works as a toad oil merchant, Franky works as a carpenter, and Robin trains as a geisha. One night, Zoro is arrested for street murders. Zoro plans to defend himself, but remembers how Kin'emon told them not to cause trouble, as any acts against Wano's corrupt shogun, Kurozumi Orochi, or his men will be heard about by Kaido, who's backing them. On the next day, he is sentenced to commit seppuku. Deducing that the magistrate is the culprit, Zoro using the small seppuku knife cuts down the magistrate and his house from a distance, before combating his men. Elsewhere, Luffy and the Thousand Sunny washed up on a beach, before two large beast catch his attention.

While fighting the magistrate's men, Zoro retrieves his swords and demolishes the magistrate's home. Afterwards, Zoro becomes a wanted man. Back at Kuri Beach, Komachiyo, a large Komainu and a giant sword-wielding baboon, are fighting near the Thousand Sunny. Luffy then remembers that when the Sunny was entering the whirlpool, he helped the others get away, but the octopus that snuck onto the ship grabbed him and dragged him into the water. Two Beast Pirates then arrive with a captive girl and try to capture Luffy. He easily defeats them and frees the girl, who introduces herself as O-Tama. After Tama tames Hihimaru by feeding him a Kibi dango kibi dango that she pulls from her cheek,^[10] Luffy gets acquainted with her.

After securing the Sunny, Tama, along with Komachijo and the baboon, who Tama names Hihimaru, takes Luffy to the house where she lives with her master, while telling Luffy her dream of becoming a "bewitching" ninja. After feeding Luffy all the rice she had as thanks, Tama walks away for a moment when her stomach starts growling. Tama's master, a swordsmith who dresses as a tengu, Tenguyama Hitetsu, arrives and attacks Luffy, telling him of how Tama can barely get by and that the rice he ate was suppose to be Tama's eighth-birthday dinner. Tama begs Hitestsu to stop, before collapsing due to drinking river water that's highly polluted due to runoff from Kaido's factories to sate her hunger. Despite the land being desolate, the two still live there waiting for the return of the pirate, Ace. Luffy reveals to them that unfortunately they waited in vain since Ace died. Refusing to believe Ace is dead, Tama accuses Luffy of lying before fainting. Hitetsu explains a year ago, X Drake, working under Kaido, ramshacked their village and how the capital is the only place in Wano that is not desolate land. He also explains that four years ago, Ace, from before he joined Whitebeard's crew, wrecked on the island and helped them during a famine, having grown particularly close with Tama. Meanwhile, Basil Hawkins, now a subordinate of Kaido, goes to investigate the soldiers defeated by Luffy.

A bounty hunter group who uses carbonated water based weapons called the Cidre Guild unsuccessfully attempt to capture the Straw Hats, leaving the Thousand Sunny without any cola fuel. Luffy visits a nearby island in search of cola and is directed to a factory run by the Cidre Guild but is attacked on the way by Cidre Guild members run by Ginger, leader of the guild's firearms squad, who uses a pair of soda-firing bazookas. Luffy is knocked into a stream and washes up in a pool where Hancock is bathing. Luffy and members of the Kuja Pirates defeat everyone except Ginger, who escapes using a CO2 attack which separates the Kujas from Luffy and Hancock. As Hancock asks Luffy to attend the Pirates Fest with her, they are attacked by Cidre, the Cidre Guild's commander.

As Luffy fights Cidre as Hancock fights Guarna, who uses a pair of pressurized carbonated hoses as swords. meanwhile, the rest of the Straw Hats discovers that the Cidre Guild soldiers are local men who Cidre forced to fight for him. When Giger and Hancock's sisters arrive, the Cidre Guild fall back, with Luffy and the others following. Cidre equips his most powerful carbonated rig to battle Luffy, and he discovers that the Cidre Guild soldiers are local men who Cidre coerced by taking their families hostage. Hancock defeats both Ginger and Guarana, turning them to stone. Luffy is able to defeat Cidre with an Elephant Gun, and Hancock revives the Guild's slaves she had turned to stone. Afterwards, Luffy finds an invitation to the Pirate Fest, and the freed Cidre Guild members gift the Straw Hats several barrels of cola. The Straw Hats sail to Delta Island for the Pirate Fest, with a planned race for Gold Roger's treasure in particular exciting Luffy. Other Supernovas make their way as, elsewhere, Buena Festa looks forward to a clash between Luffy and Douglas Bullet, leading to the events in One Piece: Stampede.

After Luffy dons a kimono and takes the famed blade, Nidai Kitetsu, he and Komachiyo leave Hitetsu to take Tama to a doctor. Along the way Tama wakes up, but still refuses to believe that Ace is dead, recalling how he promised to let her join his crew if she became a "bewitching" ninja upon his return. As they leave the forest, Luffy is shocked to see how truly desolate the wasteland is. Tama explains that all of the animals living there have become poisonous due drinking from the polluted water and that any clean food and water is controlled by the shogun and Kaido. Meanwhile, Zoro saves a woman from two Beast Pirates. Soon after this, Luffy reunites with Zoro. However, they are soon confronted by Hawkins, now a Headliner for the Beast Pirates.

Zoro takes an intrest in Nidai Kitetsu, but Luffy refuses to let him see it before engaging in a fight against Hawkins' men, though Zoro becomes irritated by Luffy's inproper use of a sword. Hawkins eventually steps in and displays his Straw-Straw Fruit powers to them, such wielding a deadly sword of straw and being able to make voodoo dolls that redirect any damage he receives to his subordinates before creating a giant scarecrow-like monster whose actions are governed by tarot cards to attack them. Komachiyo grabs Luffy and Zoro and runs from the battle, as Tama's condition worsens, but Hawkins pursues them.

As Komachiyo flees with Luffy, Zoro, and the ill Tama, Hawkins pursues them with the straw entity. Zoro defends against the straw entity's attacks and eventually defeats it. After the group escapes from Hawkins, the woman Zoro saved, Otsuru, who had been hiding inside Komachiyo's tail, reveals herself and invites the group to her teahouse in Okobore Town, where she can help Tama. In Okobore Town the yokozuna Urashima tries to court the teahouse's waitress, O-Kiku, into marrying him, but she declines. Luffy's groups arrive and Otsuru orders Kiku to brew a tea to help heal Tama as Zoro intimidates Urashima into leaving. Having watch from afar, Bepo, Penguin and Shachi go to inform Law of Luffy's arrival in Wano.

Luffy, Tsuru and Kiku prepare the medicine for Tama. Okiku also helps to bandage up Zoro after he sustained an injury during the battle with Hawkins. After Otama recovers, Otsuru treats her to oshiruko (sweet red bean soup), As she eats, Tama say the kibi dangos she pulls from her cheeks offer no nutritional value, before she declares that this is the best birthday ever. Zoro makes a new alias for Luffy, Luffytaro, to hide his identity, though Otsuru already figued out they're foreigners, but promises to keep their secret. Luffy and Zoro learns from Otsuru how Kaido and Orochi pollute the environment and turn Wano into a wasteland and that while the wealthy who live in places like Bakura Town have clean food and water from the Paradise Farm, which Oden originally made for everyone, the impoverished are forced to live off of scraps, which is how Okobore Town gets its name (which means "leftovers"). Otsuru then gets attacked by Batman, a bat SMILE Fruit Gifter, for taking ill of the shogun but is saved by Zoro. While Luffy and Zoro fend off Batman's arrows, Otama gets abducted.

Luffy, Zoro and Kiku, who reveals herself as a samurai, chase after Gazelleman, the gazelle SMILE Fruit Gifter that abducted Tama, but they fail to catch up. He arrives in a residence in Bakura Town, the town where Orochi's officials and Kaido's men live. He hands Tama over to Holdem, a lion SMILE Fruit user, who has a lion's arms and head (named Kamijiro) growing out of his stomach and one of three Headliners ruling over the Town, who wants to know how Tama powers works. When she tries to play dumb, Holdem decides to threaten her with pliers. Luffy's group arrive at the entrance of the town but get stopped by the guards. Bepo, Sachi and Penguin see them using binoculars from a nearby hilltop, and they find Law who was chilling in an abandoned building, and inform him that Luffy has arrived.

Luffy, Zoro, Kiku and Komachiyo enter Bakura Town to rescue Tama after Luffy knocks out the guards with his Conqueror's Haki. Kiku explains that no in town will aid them, as everyone in the town either works for Orochi or is under his influence. They later come across Urashima participating in sumo matches. After Urashima's men grab Okiku and bring her to the ring, Kiku rejects Urashima by cutting off his topknot. Enraged, Urashima attacks her but Luffy steps in and clashes with him.

Luffy faces against Urashima in a sumo match. Unable to over power Luffy Urashima starts using illegal moves, but Luffy sends him flying him with a Third Gear palm thrust. Holdem tries to pull off Tama's cheek with pliers until the defeat Urashima comes crashing into Holdem's residence. The crowd then recognizes Zoro from his wanted posers. Law prepares to head out but becomes preoccupied help Bepo who ate fish from the contaminated river, while Luffy, Zoro and Okiku wait for the town's boss to appear.

Luffy, Zoro, and Okiku fight back against the attacking Beast Pirates and their samurai allies. Meanwhile, another Headliner, the centaur-like Speed, a horse SMILE Fruit user, gathers the lastest harvest from the Paradise Farm. Afterwards, Luffy calls out to Holdem who approaches the group while holding Tama hostage in Kamijiro's jaws. Holdem comes to believe that Luffy is a subordinate to the bandit Shutenmaru, as Law and his crew observe Hawkins entering the town.

Holdem continues to taunt Luffy's group while holding Otama hostage, threatening to chew her up with Kamijiro. Okiku warns Luffy against attacking Holdem as Kuri is ruled by Jack and he will destroy Bakura Town if they fight back. Speed arrives with the Treasure Ship of food from Paradise Farm. Luffy orders Zoro to steal the food cart, which he does with Okiku's and Komachiyo's help. As Hawkins enters Bakura Town, he is confronted by a masked Law. Luffy proceeds to punch Kamijiro and rescue Otama, only to see the injuries on her cheek Holdem caused, causing him to punch Holdem with Red Hawk, reminding Tama of Ace.

After defeating Holdem, Luffy grabs Otama and flees the scene. During the escape, they encounter Speed and Tama tames her with a kibi dango. Meanwhile, Law fights Hawkins, with Law unable to injure him because of his power and Hawkins figuring out Law's identity because of his powers and hand tattoos. Luffy, Tama and Speed then catch up to Zoro, Kiku and Komachiyo as they flee with the stolen food cart, but Luffy leaves saying they forgot something important. As Law and Hawkins continue their battle battle, Law incapacitates Hawkins' underlings, preventing the Headliner from using them to redirect damage. Their battle is then interrupted when the food cart passes by them. After jumping on the food cart, Law reprimands Zoro for his group's actions.

Meanwhile, Hawkins informs his higher-ups of Luffy's, Law's and Zoro's actions. As the people of Okobore Town celebrate, Luffy makes a vow to Tama that by the time he leaves Wano, he'll make it so that she can eat her fill everyday, something that Tama remembers Ace said he would do years ago. After Luffy parts ways with Tama and Speed, Law takes the group to the ruins of Oden Castle. Kiku gets suspicious of them because they plan to visit Oden's castle. Law explains that they're going to meet the "Ghosts of Wano" at the mountain there is an "unbelievable truth." At the top of the mountain, there are weathered graves marked for Kanjuro, Raizo, Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and Oden.

Kin'emon explains to Luffy's group what happened in the past. He recounts stories such as the one of his Lord and Momonosuke's farther, Kozuki Oden. Despite being the son of Shogun Sukiyaki, Oden's nonconformist lifestyle and violent ways got him banished from the Flower Capital. Sometime later he brought order to the once lawless Kuri after defeating the criminal Ashura Doji, and reforming the criminals that lived there, eventually being given the title of daimyo of Kuri at the age of twenty, though he maintained he disorderly behavior. Meanwhile, Dogstorm reminisces on how when he and Cat Viper washed ashore on Wano, Oden saved them from being persecuted for their appearance and took them under his wing. After beating the tiger, Zoro turns his attention to a nearby fishing pier. Kin'emon continues telling how Kaido and Orochi formed an alliance and had Oden exacuted as a criminal. Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Kiku, Raizo and another samurai were able to escape the same fate, and headed to Oden Castle as they knew Orochi would target Momonosuke next, but were forced to abandond the caputred Cat Viper and Dogstom. They'd arrived to the already burining Oden Castle to rescue Momonosuke, as well as his mother Toki and his younger sister Hiyori. Toki, having been rumored to be from the distant past, having decided to die in the time of her husband, used her Time-Time Fruit ability to send Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Kiku, Raizo and Momonosuke into the future, with Kin'emon vowing to avenge Oden and fulfill his lord's dream of opening Wano's borders. After arriving into the future, Kin'emon's group leared of what has happen to their home, and were surprised to find allies still loyal to Oden.

When Kin'emon's group dispared over what has happen to their home, there hope was restored when they met those still loyal to the Koukuki Clan, who explianed that those who bare a reversed cresent moon tattoo on their left ankle are allies waiting for the moment to avenge Oden. Afterwords Kiku remained in Wano to gater information while, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo and Momonosuke left the country to gather allies against Kaido, which eventually lead to them meeting the Straw Hats in Punk Hazard.

When Sanji inquiers about Ashura Doji, Kin'emon explains that after Oden defeated him, Ashura pledge loyalty to Oden, though unfortunately he's returned to his criminal ways under the alias Shutenmaru. While Usopp looks for allies in Wano, Shutenmaru and the Mt. Atama Thieves plunder Okobore Town.

But in the end, Kaido is unaffected by Luffy's attacks and defeats him with a single swing of his kanabō.

At the bathhouse in the Flower Capital, Shinobu tell Nami and Robin about Hyogoro, who was highly-respected person during Oden's reign, often using his influence to help those in need, even gaining the loyalty from the leaders of the other five regions and Oden himself. However, it is rumoured that when Hyougoro refused to serve Orochi after took over he was killed. On the other hand, Fukurokuju agreed to serve Orochi and was spared, becoming the leader of his personal ninja force, with Shinobu being a member before defecting. In Udon prison, Raizo is surprised to see that the prisoner being fed poisoned fish is Kawamatsu while Queen forces Luffy and Hyogoro fight in sumo matches with collars that will cut their heads off if they leave the ring, giving Luffy a chance to live if he agrees to join the Beast Pirates. Queen then uncuffs Luffy to give him a fighting chance, leaving Raizo shocked upon realizing he stole the wrong key. Luffy then asks if they could be released from prison if they beat Queen.

At the Prisoner Mines, the Sumo Inferno begins, but Luffy easily knocks out his opponents with Conquerors Haki. Meanwhile, at the Flower Capital bathhouse, Drake and Hawkins arrive to search for those associated with the Kozuki Family, having information about the reversed crescent moon ankle tattoo. As Shinobu, Robin, and Nami are accosted by Hawkins, Sanji is revealed to be at the bathhouse as well. Drake and Hawkins, who are both from North Blue, recognize Sanji's Raid Suit as Stealth Black. After a scuffle with Drake and Hawkins, Sanji escapes with Shinobu, Robin, and Nami. While flying away they discuss the possibility of a traitor among them, as the enemy knew about the ankle tattoo. Sanji also states the he's heard that Bepo, Penguin and Shachi have been captured. In Udon, as he easily defeats his opponents, Luffy tries to think of a way to beat Kaido before a memory of when Rayleigh fist show him Armament Haki gives him a idea. In the Ringo region, Zoro confronts the person who took Shusui.

The Sumo Inferno continues and Queen sends in the Gifters Batman and Gazelleman after Luffy defeats the Pleasures, while Luffy tries to improve his Armament Haki to the advance stage, which will allow him to hit eneies with emitted Haki without touching them. After beating the two Gifters, Luffy demands stronger opponents. Meanwhile, Chopper's group is still traveling to Udon with Chopper becoming increasingly worried of what will happen if Big Mom doesn't get oshiruko, unaware of Queen has a large supply of it due to his love for the treat. At the Oihagi Bridge, Zoro clashes with Gyukimaru, who refuses to give Shusui back, as it's a national treasure, and becomes angry when Zoro claims to have met Ryuma. As they fight, Gyukimaru talks about how the Loand of Wano was once known as the Land of Gold, and Ryuma led the country's samurai in defending it from many threats, while also stating that Shusui turned into a Black Blade after Ryuma's many battles. Their fight is interrupted when a still living Komurasaki and Toko arrive seeking help as they were chased by an assassin known as Kamazo, having been ordered by Orochi to kill Toko. Zoro then decides to fight the assassin to protect the woman and girl.

Due to a leak, those allied with the Kozuki Family get arrested in the Flower Capital. Sanji's group returns to Ebisu Town where he is beaten for intruding in the bathhouse. An argument breaks out between Law and Shinobu when she blames the others for potentially jeopardizing the operation, accusing Bepo, Penguin and Shachi of telling Orochi's men about the symbol. Kanjuro tells her to stop blaming people as the operation will fail without them. Tonoyasu then enters, stating that the rebellion symbol has been leaked all over the capital, before asking if a big battle is coming. In Udon, while fighting the bear SMILE Fruit Gifter, Bearman Luffy still struggles to figure out how to use advance Armament Haki. Meanwhile, at Oihagi Bridge, Zoro continues his clash with Kamazo. During the battle Gyukimaru interferes, allowing Kamazo a land a hit on Zoro. However, Zoro mangages to take a of Kamazo's scythes and uses it as a makeshift third sword to deliver a powerful attack to defeat the assassin. Not wanting to fight Zoro, Gyukimaru decides to leave with his weapons as Zoro collapses in the snow from his injury.

Luffy and Hyogoro are confronted by Alpacaman and Madilloman, a armadillo SMILE Fruit Gifter. Luffy uses his advance Observation Haki to avoid Madilloman's attacks while also giving Hyogoro instructions to avoid attacks from Alpacaman as Luffy continues trying to use an advanced Armament Haki technique. After the battle with Kamazo, Zoro's wound is treated by Komurasaki. When Zoro tries to leave to retrieve Shusui, Komurasaki and Toko convince him to stay. They tell Zoro that Gyukimaru is well know ambushing anyone who comes to Oihagi Bridge to steal their weapons. During their conversation, Komurasaki reveals herself to actually be Momonosuke's sister, Hiyori.

After Hiyori reveals her identity to Zoro, she explains that while her mother sent Momonosuke, Kanjuro, Raizo and Kikunojo twenty years into the future, she was left behind so that if Momonosuke did not make it into the future, the Kouzuki bloodline would not die out and how Kawamatsu the Kappa watched over her after her parents' death until they were separated when she was thirteen. After she finishes the story, Zoro tells her about the status of the operation. In Ebisu Town, after scolding Shinobu for her lack of trust, Law leaves to go save his crew. As Nami and Usopp worry about Law, they spot the three criminals from Komurasaki's procession, Bingo, Bongo and Bungo. An old woman tells Nami and Usopp that the three are actually a arson ring that bribed offical to escape punisment until Hiyori, as Komurasaki, swindled them. Tonoyasu welcomed them into Ebisu Town, but they continue to act rude towards the townspeople. Back in the Sumo Inferno, after figuring out what Luffy is trying to achieve, Hyogoro defeats Alpacaman, displaying his knowledge and skills with advanced Armament Haki and offers to teach Luffy.

Luffy continues to try to learn how to advance his Armament Haki, which Hyogoro says it referred to as Ryuo in Wano, through fighting in the Sumo Inferno. While discussing the state of the rebellion, Tonoyasu speaks to and addresses Kanjuro and Shinobu casually, but they do not remember him as he leave to tend to the townsfolk. A old woman explains to Nami and Usopp that Tonoyasu gets his income from his daughter, Toko, who works at the capital and sends it to him, which Tonoyasu would give most of it away to the townspeople. Back in the prison Luffy continues fighting until the night and will resume the next day. After Luffy explains to Hyogoro who the Four Emperors are they're met by Raizo and Caribou, whom Raizo had recruited. As they talk about the rebellion, Hyogoro asks to join the cause, which Raizo eagerly allows. Hyougoro gets the idea of recruiting the Udon prisoners to fight for them, as most of the prisoners were arrested for treason against Orochi. The others accept this idea, and Raizo gets to work breaking Kawamatsu out of his cell. Caribou then takes out a giant pot of oshiruko stolen from Queen. Meanwhile, Big Mom approaches Udon with Kiku, Chopper, Momonosuke and Tama.

After being capture, Tonoyasu claims to be the infamous thief, Ushimitzu Kozo. When Tonoyasu bandana falls off, Fukurokuju recognizes him. When Fukurokuju tells Orochi, the shogun has Tonoyasu sentenced to public execution. Meanwhile, Holdem and his men battle the Mt. Atama Thieves, believeing them responsible for the thefts committed by the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. While clashing with Ashura Doji, Holdem sets the mountain on fire. In Ringo, Brook finds Zoro, Hiyori and Toko and when he informs them of the impending execution in the Flower Capital, Toko immediately runs out to go save her father.

Toko and Zoro's group make their way to the Flower Capital. Tonoyasu is revealed to be Shimotsuki Yasuie the former daimyo of Hakumai. Yasuie is placed on a wooden pole and is being broadcast via video transponder snail throughout Wano, and his old acquaintances recognize him. The citizens of Ebisu Town and some of the Straw Hats rush to the execution. As Orochi heads to the execution site, Yasuie reveals that he lied about being Ushimitsu Kozo and plans to say a few things before meeting his demise. Yasuie makes his final statement. He praises the Land of Wano for being a once-beautiful country with forests and rivers thanks to the Kouzuki Family, but calls out Orochi for ruining the country, calling him nothing but vermin. Yasuie laughs even as the executioner points his rifle at him.

As Ashura seaches for Holdem for burning doen his mountain base he comes across the broadcast of Yasuie before Kin'emon and Dogstorm arrive. Yasuie claims responsibility for Kin'emon's secret message, saying it was a prank, and casting doubt in the Rasetsu prison guards. As Yasuie accepts his fate it's revealed that he has changed the rendezvous point on the flyers so that the revolution will live on, before he meets a brutal end as Orochi and his men shoot him to death. As the Ebisu Town citizens "laugh" over Yasuie's death, Zoro is furious that they would do so after all he's done for them, but Hiyori explains to him that they were rob of showing any emotion except laughter because by the fruits known as SMILE.

As the citizens of Ebisu Town grieve over Yasuie's death, Shinobu and Hiyori reveals more information about the SMILE fruits. Kaido wanted to increase the strength of his army so he purchased artificial Zoan fruits from Doflamingo that were made by Caesar. However, the success rate of these fruits is ten percent, meaning only ten percent of SMILE fruit eaters successfully gain an ability. The other ninety percent would permanently lose their ability to swim as well as express any emotion other than joy. Fighters of the Beast Pirates are divided into three categories; The Waiters, who have not eaten a SMILE fruit, the Gifters, who are those who gained SMILE fruit powers, and the Pleasures, are those who have eaten SMILE fruits but failed to gain powers and suffered the negitive side-effects. Ebisu Town's dark history is then revealed. It was a poverty-stricken town that received its food from the capital. Orochi, for the sake of his own cruelty, took some failed SMILE fruits that have already been bitten and gave them to the town. Given no other source of food, the people of Ebisu Town ate the defective fruits and suffered its negative side effects. Toko enters the execution site, hoping to revive her father. Seeing Toko, Orochi attempts to kill her as well, blaming her for Komurasaki's death. But Zoro and Sanji step in and save her.

Zoro and Sanji manage to save Toko. The swordsman directly attacks Orochi, who is protected by Kyoshiro, while Sanji fights against Drake, who transforms into Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Ancient Type Allosaurus Beast Form. Franky saves Zoro from the firing squad and manages to recover Yasuie's body as the rest of the Straw Hats join the fight. At Udon, Luffy cheers on his crew from the sumo ring. Just then, Queen gets the news that some criminals have arrived. Kamazo, who failed to assassinate Toko, and Kid, who surrendered after his escape, enter the prison. Kid immediately recognized Kamazo and asks why he's constantly laughing after having beaten up anyone who mocked his laugh and even masked his face to hide it in the past, were it's reaveled that Kamazo is Kid's own crewmate, Killer. Killer was somehow forced to eat a SMILE fruit and therefore can only express happiness. Kid screams out in anguish, demanding to know who's responsible for his partner condition and as well as what happend to the rest of his crew. Angered for Kid, Luffy calls out Queen, demanding he resumes the sumo match.

Zoro clashes with Kyoshiro and Sanji clashes with Drake while Usopp takes Toko to safety. The Orochi Oniwabanshu arrive to confront the Straw Hat Pirates with Brook scaring away a few away. Back at Udon, Queen subjects Kid and Killer to water torture as he resumes the Sumo Inferno. Law arrives at the Rasetsu Town prison to rescue his captured crewmates, but gets confronted by Hawkins, who used his Straw-Straw ability to make it so that Law can't beat him without injuring his friends. When Sanji hears hearing Hiyori's cries, he disengages with Drake to save her from two of the Orochi Oniwabanshu trying to apprehend her, only for Zoro to save her first, leaving the cook shocked with jealousy. Back in the prision, Queen decides that until Luffy and Hyogoro are killed, Kid and Killer will be submerged underwater. However, Big Mom arrives at the Prisoner Mines.

After the skirmish inside the Flower Capital, Kin'emon confesses to Ashura that he provoked Holdem into attacking Mt. Atama. When Ashura becomes angry, Kin'emon admits his mistake for trying to force Ashura to join the rebellion and once again begs him for his help. Ashura tells the two to follow him, as he has something important to show them. After Chopper's group arrives at the Prisoner Mines, Big Mom breaks in. Chopper and Kiku, who dons a disguise, go in after her as Momonosuke and Tama stay outside. During Big Mom's search for oshiruko, Queen, refusing to share his favorite food, transforms into his Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Type Model: Brachiosaurus Beast Form to fight her, both unaware there isn't any soup left. While he and Kiku travel through the entrance, Chopper worries if the amnesiac Big Mom can fight Queen, only to find her slamming Queen's head into the ground.

Big Mom subdues Queen when the latter tries to fight her. During the scuffle, Kid and Killer get saved from drowning and Kawamatsu's cell gets broken apart. Prison guards attempt to contact Kaido in the executive tower, but Caribou stops them from doing so. He explains that the variant transponder snails used in the Land of Wano, known as Smart Snail (Smail for short), transmit very weak signals so they require a Boss Snail to transmit the signals. Raizo decides to go get the keys to free the other prisoners. Big Mom does not find any oshiruko and when Luffy blurts out that he ate it, she attacks him out of rage, revealing she actually wanted to give it to the people of Okobore Town as thanks for their kindness towards her. Luffy and Hyogoro are forced out of the ring, but Luffy manages to use advance Armament Haki to remove the collars before they're killed. Afterwards, Hyogoro decides to test Luffy by having him defend against Big Mom's attack.

Luffy attempts to defend against Big Mom's attack, but she sends him and Hyogoro crashing into a wall. They both survive, but Hyogoro is injured. Hyogoro tells Luffy that he has the potential to use a higher grade of advance Armament Haki, which not only allows someone to emit Haki, but also flow it into a targets body and destroy it from the inside out. Big Mom then to continues to attack Luffy, chasing him around the Prisoner Mines. Queen regains consciousness and he comes up with a plan to take down Big Mom. Knowing the Prison Mine is design in a circle, Queen sets a trap for when she loops around. Once Luffy and Big Mom return to where they started, Big Mom gets distracted by the empty oshiruko pot as Queen uses a dive bomb attack in his brachiosaurus form and strikes her in the head. The attack appears to have failed, but the pain from it causes Big Mom to regains her memories.

Right after Big Mom regains her memories, she suddenly falls asleep. Queen quickly orders his men to restrain Big Mom and escorts her to Onigashima. With both Queen and Big Mom away, Luffy continues practicing with advanced Armament Haki. Babanuki then orders the prisoners to subdue Luffy, and they comply out of fear. Daifugo also fires disease-filled bullets created by Queen on the prisoners. Before Luffy can be infected, Kawamatsu shouts out to Luffy telling him to become a becon of hope for the prisoners. Babanuki orders the guards to kill him, but Kawamatsu manages to fight them off by spitting sharp fishbones at their necks, saying he won't fall so easily.

Raizo retrieves the keys to Kawamatsu's cell as well as his sword, Soto Moto, but is confronted by Solitaire, though he is able to get away. The ninja later gives them to him and Kawamatsu frees himself and fends off the guards with both Ryuo-enhanced sumo techniques and his unique swordfighting style, Kappa Style. After Raizo, Kawamatsu, and Kiku reunite, they join up with Luffy and Hyogoro in fighting the Beast Pirates. When Kiku dons a one mask it's revealed that full name and epithet is "Kikunojo of the Lingering Snow", as well as a fact that she's actually a transgender woman. However, the Beast Pirates continue infecting prisoners with diseased Plague Rounds. Elsewhere Zoro and Hiyori walk through a leafy forest, they're attacked by one Fukurokuju's assassins, but Zoro fends him off. At sea Queen's ship takes Big Mom to Onigashima. Despite the tranquilizer shots, Big Mom wakes up briefly, asking for oshiruko, then falls back asleep. Back at Udon, Kid attempts to get out of his cuffs. Raizo throws them the keys, but Kid, only having one hand, asks Killer to help him unlock the cuffs. However, Killer just lies on the ground, laughing.

Babanuki's men continue firing Plague Rounds at the prisoners, with ehe bullet wounds form black skull marks, spreading green blotches all over the body. Prisoners affected suffer excruciating, burning pain, fever and bleeding, and eventually become emaciated and zombie-like while also being highly contagious by touch as well. Daifugo dubs the viral weapon as Queen's masterpiece, the Mummy virus. The prisoners surround Luffy and his allies, blaming them for getting infected and casting their doubts that Luffy will defeat Kaido. Luffy grabs the prisoners, infecting himself and tells them that he made a promise to make Wano a prosperous place again and prompts the prisoners to either join him and liberate the country or continue to live a life of despair under Kaidou's regime. Babanuki decides to try to kill all the prisoners at once, using an Plague Shot, a cannonball containing two hundred doses of the Mummy virus. He places it in his elephant's trunk to fire, but Luffy walks up to him and ties a knot in the elephant's trunk. With the cannonball still inside, it detonates in Babanuki's body, knocking him out. With the last of his strength, Luffy orders his new followers to take out the vice wardens. Following his orders, the prisoners turn on and defeat Daifugo and Solitaire. Eight days before the Onigashima raid, Luffy scores his first victory, liberating Udon's prisoner mine.

After Udon is conquered, a collapsed Luffy asks Kid if he wants join the fight against Kaido, but Kid rejects his offer, having lost trust in alliances after Hawkins' and Apoo's betrayal. Kid then uses his Devil Fruit power^[11] to create a new prosthetic arm out of magnetic parts and leaves Udon with Killer to find the rest of his crew. Elsewhere, Ashura Doji reveals to Kin'emon and Dogstorm that ten years ago, he had comrades who were too impatient to wait for the Kozuki Family to return and word "sunacchi"; it was an abbreviaton of the sentence, "Namae o sutero, chie o sutero." ("Throw away your name and your wits.") The phrase suggesting not worrying about the dangers and throwing themselves forward for their cause. Against Ashura's command, they sailed out to Onigashima. Ashura he warned, the soldiers were decimated by Kaido's crew and died in vain, after which they were buried at the graveyard. Back at present day, Doji and his men decide to join Kin'emon's alliance to take down Kaido. After finding out that Luffy is a pirate, the prisoners distrust him,while also having doubts of the prophecy and that the Akazaya Nine truly returned from the past. Momonosuke hides with Luffy, who is resting in a cell while Chopper prepares a cure. Although Momonosuke is hesitant to appear in front of them, Luffy throws a boulder at him to chase him out into the open. Momonosuke is spotted by the prisoners and immediately recognized. The prisoners bow down to him and Momonosuke gives a speech calling them to help fight against Kaido. Now convinced that the Akazaya Nine truly have returned, they join the cause to liberate the Land of Wano.

Zoro and Hiyori have an encounter with the ninja Fujin and several ninjas that serve Orochi. After defeating the ninjas, Zoro plans to get Shusui back to prepare for the Onigashima raid. Orochi berates Fukurokuju for allowing Zoro to get away, but the ninja appeases him state that he managed to capture another criminal, Law, who was brutally tortured and chained to a wall. In the Flower Capital, Sanji and Shinobu find that wanted posters of the Straw Hats and their allies have been setup through the entire country. Now that most of their work in the Flower Capital is done, they decide that the next step would be to free the samurai allies who have been imprisoned by Orochi's guards. Sanji observes people creating sky ships, lantern-like balloons that are released into the sky during the Fire Festival. Back at Udon, Chopper finally creates a cure for the Mummy virus. Luffy is cured first, then the other prisoners are also. In Ebisu Town, Nami runs into Bepo, Penguin and Shachi in the streets. Bepo shows her the rebellion flyer, where Yasuie added two lines to the snake to change the rendezvous point. After Nami leaves, Bepo reveals to his crewmate what happened to Law. In exchange for his crewmates freedom, Law turned himself in, with Law telling his crewmates to not tell the Straw Hats. After being beaten, Hawkins and Drake chained him to a wall and tortured him for information.

Kanjuro visits Ebisu Town where he receives permission to bury Yasuie's body in Kuri as the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance continues with their preparations for the Fire Festival. At Kuri, Kin'emon is shocked to see that Ashura has gathered ships to transport the rebels in the raid. Meanwhile, Luffy keeps trying to master Ryuo with Hyogoro aiding him. Zoro returns to Oihagi Bridge along with Hiyori and he challenges Gyukimaru again to reclaim Shusui. The battle is then interrupted by Kawamatsu, who Hiyori and the thief both recognize. Big Mom has been taken to Onigashima. There she tries to recruit King to her crew, stating he's a memeber of one of the three races that aren't part of Totto Land, but he refuses. Kaidou arrives and orders his men to remove her handcuffs. Big Mom calls for Napoleon who has been awake all along, but remained silent while Big Mom was amnesiac due to shyness. After this, they immediately begin to battle.

At Onigashima, Kaido and Big Mom continue with their clash. Queen contacts Udon, and Babanuki, having been tamed by Tama, gives Queen a false report. Back at Udon, Hyogoro gets reacquainted with the other yakuza leaders, Omasa of Udon, Tsunagoro of Hakumai, Cho of Ringo and Yatappe of Kibi, who all agree to join the rebellion. Meanwhile, in Kibi, Kin'emon finds out that Ashura has acquired the blueprints for Kaidou's mansion. He receives news from Raizo that they have amassed an army of 3500 men. The only remaining problem is that they do not have a supply of weapons for them, as possession of weapons was forbidden in the country. At Oihagi Bridge, Hiyori and Kawamatsu have a heartfelt reunion, as Hiyori confesses that she run away out of fear for Kawamatsu's health, as he always gave her whatever food they had. The reunion is cut short as a group of Beast Pirates arrives, seeking revenge on Gyukimaru for stealing weapons from them. Zoro and Kawamatsu defeat the attackers, and Gyukimaru flees the scene with Zoro chasing after him.

Kawamatsu rekindles his bond with Hiyori whilst Zoro chases after Gyukimaru. Kawamatsu explains that in Ringo, people are given a sword at birth which they keep for their entire life. When they die their swords are used as grave markers for their Eternal Graves. He also tells her that thirteen years ago, after she ran away, he spent some time robbing and storing swords from the Eternal Graves in Ringo after befriending Onimaru, a komagitsunea (a fox with flame-like mane and tail) who was once the companion of Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the late damiyo of Ringo. During his time guarding the graves he came up with the alias, "Gyukimaru". This went on until he was captured trying to steal food and was sent to Udon. Hiyori feels it isn't a coincidence that a man named Gyukimaru is doing the exact same thing Kawamatsu did. Kawamatsu contacts Kin'emon to reveal that he can supply the alliance with the stored weapons. Meanwhile, Gyukimaru reveals himself to be Onimaru in a human form.^[12] Hiyori then offers to trade Zoro's Shushui with Emna, a sword that belonged to Kozuki Oden and the only blade that injured Kaido.

At the secret place where Kawamatsu stored weapons, Hiyori expains to Zoro that before he died, Oden gave his two swords to his children, Ame No Hebakiri to Momonosuke, and Enma to Hiyori. Zoro agrees to return Shusui in exchange for Enma, while also being allowed to visit Ryuma's gravesite. At the Flower Capital's Public Cells, Law subdues Hawkins. When Law interrogates him about the alliance he had with Kid and Appo, Hawkins reveals that Apoo was allied with Kaido all along, and when he met face-to-face with Kaido, Hawkins, knowing he wouldn't survived if he tried to fight or escape, immediately submitted to him. However, Kid refused to join Kaido, was defeated, and was sent to the Udon prisoner mine while his crew was forced to work under Orochi under threat of their captain's death. Finishing the story, Law cuts Hawkins down and walks free from the prison with help from an unknown individual. As the day of the Fire Festival draws closer, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance continues with their preparations for the raid on Onigashima. Kin'emon explains the change in the rebellion flyer. The original snake symbol implied Habu Port in Hakumai, but with the two added strokes the snake resembles a lizard, implying Tokage Port in Udon. Apoo returns to Wano, entering via a hidden tunnel behind the waterfall and riding up a gondola. He arrives with a group of gigantic horned beings known as the Numbers. At Onigashima, Kaido and Big Mom decide to put aside their feud and form an alliance to conquer the world.

Hiyori parts ways with Zoro and Kawamatsu, and the two later inform Momonosuke and the Akazaya Nine with him of her survival. Hitetsu presents Ame No Hebakiri and Enma to the group, with Momonosuke asking Hitetsu to hold on to Ame No Hebakiri, as he's hesitant to wield his farther's blade. Zoro receives Enma and tries out his new sword on a tree, but the sword ends up drawing more Haki than necessary, creating an overly-powerful slash cutting off a piece of a nearby cliff as his crewmates quickly become worried as the sword draws significant quantities of Armament Haki from his arm causing it to shrivel. However, Zoro manages to bring the Haki back into his arm. Hitetsu explains that the Enma is considered impossible to wield because it always uses excessive amounts of the wielder's Haki. Still, Zoro to keep the blade. Luffy continues training his Armament Haki and Zoro trains with his new sword. Momonosuke tells Zoro while they are training that he was told not to say the word "Sunacchi", and Zoro tells him that he picked it up after hearing the old man in his home village using it, while admitting to never using the phrase himself. Meanwhile, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance adds more numbers to their cause and finish up with their preparations. On the day before the Fire Festival, Momonosuke and his group of retainers march to the rendezvous point to meet up with their allies. The Straw Hats stay behind by Yasuie and Pedro's graves. Hitetsu seems amazed that Zoro is managing to tame the Enma. He reveals theat he was the one who crafted Sandai Kitetsu and that the reason Zoro can use Oden's sword is because the Wado Ichimonji and Enma were created by the same person, Shimotsuki Kouzaburou. Zoro states that he will turn Enma into a Black Blade. Back at Udon, Babanuki calls Orochi and lies to him, stating that there was no trouble at Udon and the situation is under control. However, Orochi somehow reveals that he has the new information about the rendezvous point change and that Hiyori was alive. Luffy finally masters Ryuo, demonstrating his new skills by blasting a tree as the curtains close on Land of Wano Arc's second act.

After the Levely concludes, Neptune's family returns to Fish-Man Island accompanied by Garp, where he laments the tense and violent arguments that occurred during the Levely. However, Garp brings up a certain incident that occurred concerning Arabasta. Previously, news of the incident were spread by Morgans. Morgans was threatened by a Cipher Pol agent to keep the incident private, but Morgans refuses, beating the agent. However, as he has the World Economy Newspaper headquarters move to a new location, he receives a call from Wapol. Big news concerning Sabo spreads throughout the world. Those who knew Sabo become distressed after reading the news about him. Koby conntacts Drake, who's secretly the captain of the Navy's Top Secret Special Force, "SWORD", and they have a private conversation via transponder snail. Drake informs Koby about the newly formed alliance between Kaido and Big Mom and the recent presence of CP-0 in the Land of Wano. Thanks to the efforts of Nefertari Cobra and Riku Doldo III, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have been abolished, which results in the Marines pursuing the former members. Buggy, Edward Weevil, Dracule Mihawk and Boa Hancock are surrounded by Marine soldiers, their legal immunity being revoked. The former warlords prepare to battle the Marines, except for Buggy who plans to flee while his underlings keep the Marines busy.

At the new Marine Headquarters, the Marine officers hold a meeting where Sengoku explains the Rock Pirates and the history concerning this crew. The Rocks Pirates were a group of extremely violent pirates who even fought each other onboard the ship, but were kept under control by their captain, Rocks D. Xebec, who sought world conquest and was considered as Gol D. Roger's fist and greatest enemy. Among the crew were some of the most dangerous pirates today, including Whitebeard, Kaidou, Big Mom and Shiki.^[13] However, 38 years ago in what would be known as the God Valley Incident, Garp joined forces with the Roger Pirates and defeated the Rocks Pirates, protecting endangered World Nobles. Since the incident, the World Government attempted to remove all traces of the incident, erasing Rocks' name from history and removing the island of God Valley from all maps. Strangely, both Roger and Rocks have the mysterious initial D in their name. It is also reveald that the main reason Garp has refused a promotion to admiral several times is because he does not want to become a direct subordinate of the World Nobles while his achievements kept him from being fired for insubordination. Brannew then reveals the bounty of each of the current Emperors as well as Gol D. Roger and Edward Newgate, which are all in the billions, with Whitebeard's bounty of over 5 billion and Roger's being over 5.5 billion, the highest bounties for a pirate in history. Sakazuki declares that the Marines will not go to Land of Wano due to a lack of manpower and resources and Sengoku talks about Kozuki Oden, saying he was not only a commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, but also sailed with Roger on his last voyage.

Orochi and his men heads to Onigashima after departing from Tabu Port on the day of the Fire Festival. Meanwhile, Kin'emon and the other samurai wait for their allies at Tokage Port, who have not arrived due to an incident orchestrated by Orochi the day before. Two days ago, as everyone prepares it's noted that a full moon that would be present during the final battle, meaning the minks could use Sulong. Meanwhile, Luffy wonders why Jinbe hasn't arrived yet despite Big Mom being in Wano, though Zoro assures him the fishman will appear. In Okobore Town, the citizens were confronted by Holedem, as the Paradise Farm was still being stolen from despite him burning down the Mt. Atama Thieves' hideout. Tsuru, having deduced of her husband's and his allies return, offers to show Holdem where the food is to distract them. However, the other citizens stopped her by claiming aloud that they had eaten the stolen food, shocking her and angering Holedem. Back in the present, the Akazaya lose hope that their allies will come snd decides to head to Onigashima alone, despite Momonosuke's and Shinobu's pleas and protests.

It's revealed that Orochi had the Beast Pirates bomb the Thousand Sunny and destroy bridges to cut off routes to Tokage Port. At the port, the Akazaya Nine prepare to continue with the raid on their own, knowing they'll never get the opportunity again as it's revealed that the Beast Pirates have burned down Okobore Town. A flashback to many years ago begins. Back then, Oden was a well-known troublemaker who constantly tried to sail away from Wano. A delinquent from a young age, Oden committed several atrocious acts, such as starting what would be known as the Harem War, where he clashed with several other samurai whose women he stole. When he turned eighteen, he was disavowed from his father, shogun Kouzuki Sukiyaki. After being caught trying to steal money from a teashop by a younger Tsuru, a younger Kin'emon takes a baby white boar from some thugs and brings it to the Flower Capital to gain money. However, a young Denjiro, a swindeler at the time, reavels to Kin'emon that the boar's parent is a giant boar dubbed the Mountain God, which arrives at the capital and wreaks havoc. Having overheard them Oden asks for the baby boar saying he'll settle the matter.

The Mountain God continues its rampage around town in search of its baby. Upon hearing that the Mountain God swallowed Tsurujo, Kin'emon decides to battle it head on. Despite having stabbed the beast, Kin'emon is knocked back into the ground and defeated. Oden then appears and faces the Mountain God, slicing the beast cleanly in half with a single dual-sword slash. Although there were no casualties from the incident, a quarter of the town was destroyed by the Mountain God. When Kin'emon's tries to confess his guilt over incident, Oden knocks him out and takes the blame before he receives the notice of disavowal from his father and is expelled from the capital. Due to their admiration for Oden, Kin'emon and Denjiro decide to follow him. Oden stays at Hakumai and meets the region's daimyo, Yasuie, and his servant, Orochi. After Oden leaves to travel to across Wano and eventually to Kuri. Afterwards it discovered that the room Oden stayed in is absolutely destroyed. When it is also revealed that Yasuie's money has been stolen, Orochi steps forward and claims to have witnessed Oden take it. While the Daimyo's staff quickly believe the young servant, Yasuie himself is suspicious, knowing that Oden would have made more of a spectacle of the matter. As he, Kin'emon and Denjiro travel, Oden is also joined by others. In Ringo they're joined by Kikunojo and her older brother Izo (the future 16th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates) who were sons of a dancing instructor, but their family had recently been split due to the father being jailed for a crime, forcing them to dance in the snow for money. In Kibi they met Kanjuro, who stole hair from the living and the dead to make brushes to sell for a living. In Udon, they met Raizo, who had quit the Kouzuki Clan's Oniwabanshu after a female ninja had turned him down, who begged to join Oden, no longer wanting to live in the shadows. Oden eventually arrives at Kuri and prepares to fight the bandits there, including Ashura Doji.

Oden defeats Ashura Doji and his bandits and earns the title of the Daimyo of Kuri with Sukiyaki repealing his disavowal and accepts him as his son again. After taking his followers as his official retainers he spends years rebuilding the lawless land and eventually rescues and nurtures Cat Viper, Dogstorm, and Kawatmatsu, who's revealed to be a fishman, but goes as a kappa to escape his kind's persecution after his mother's death from it. When Oden was having finical trouble due to him constantly lending money to Orochi, his retainers decide to steal from Yasuie but are caught. Yasuie then decides to give gold to Oden's retainers to let them train and become worthy samurai. Oden and his retainers become distinguished legends in Wano, and Kozuki Sukiyaki is proud of Oden's accomplishments. Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates cast ashore the beaches of Wano.

Kozuki Oden's dreams to leave Wano leads him directly to Whitebeard after he learns of the pirate's arrival. After a brief battle, Oden begs Whitebeard to let him join his crew. Whitebeard denies his request due to concerns about Oden's character of not the kind of person to follow someone else, saying that this was an issue in his old crew. Once their ship is repaired, the Whitebeard Pirates leave at night to avoid Oden's advances, but he catches up anyway, attaching a chain to the ship and riding with through the ocean with Izo, who tried to prevent his lord from leaving. Marco saves Izo and brings him onto the Moby Dick where he is tied up. Whitebeard tells Oden that if he holds on for three days, he can join the crew. Three days have passed, and Oden only has an hour left before he can join the crew. However, after hearing the screams of Amatsuki Toki, Oden lets go of the chain to save her life. After scaring away Toki's pursuers with his swollen and brusied caused by being dragged around the sea, Oden collapses.

Toki tends to Oden after he rescued her from the kidnappers. On the next day, Toki explains that she dreams of going to the Land of Wano, and when she asks if Oden could take her there, he replies with a annoyed look. They're then confronted by the kidnappers and their leader, Karma. Whitebeard intervenes and knocks out Karma. Whitebeard accepts Oden into his crew because of his selflessness, taling him on as a sworn youger brother. Toki, Izo, and the stowaways Dogstorm and Cat Viper become part of Whitebeard's crew as well. Oden travels to various places and has many eventful experiences. Over the course of their travels, Oden and Toki grow closer and eventually on the second year of Oden's journey, they have a son together and the infant is given the name Kozuki Momonosuke. Back at Wano Country, the shogun Sukiyaki falls critically ill and had to select an heir. Since Oden was absent, he decided to appoint Kurozumi Orochi as his proxy. During the crew's travels, Whitebeard creates five divisions, appointing Oden as the commander of the second, much to his dismay. The next morning, sun shining, they are haggled by Teach as a child orphan to join their crew. With that being a soft spot for Whitebeard, he lets the child onboard. Meanwhile, the Roger Pirates were informed about a new samurai from Wano working under Whitebeard. Roger decides that he wanted to meet the samurai himself.

Orochi became Oden's proxy as he was at sea, but the other daimyos suspect him because he was a member of the Kurozumi Family. It is revealed that before Sukiyaki was born Orochi's grandfather had attempted to take over by assassinating the other daimyos. When assassination plot was exposed, Orochi's grandfather was force to commit seppuku, and the people grew to despise the Kurozumi name to the point lynch mobs were formed to hunt down any members. While hiding from the mobs one day, Orochi met his disant relitives Semimaru and Higurashi, the latter being a former user of the Clone-Clone Fruit. After being told of his family history and being given Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata no Orochi, Orochi plots to take the shogunate with Higurashi's assistance. Orochi needed to collect funding to buy weapons, so he stole money from Yasuie while working undercover as a servant and asked Oden for loans without paying him back. Higurashi then disguised herself as Oden to convince the shogun to let Orochi into the palace, where he became the shogun's faithful servant. Years later, Higurashi disguised herself as Sukiyaki, pretended to fall ill and spread news that Sukiyaki died of the illness, allowing Orochi to rise to power. Overseas, Oden on his fourth year under the Whitebeard Pirates, along with Toki had another child, their daughter Hiyori. One day, the Whitebeard Pirates approch an island being plundered the Roger Pirates. Oden charges in to face them, but Roger sends the samurai flying though several trees with a single swing of his sword. Oden quickly recovers and tries to get back to Roger, but Whitebeard then comes and engages in a monstrous clash with the pirate, the force of their power so great, it blows back everything on the island without their blades even touching.

After three days of battle between the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, a ceasefire was called and on the fourth day the two crews began a gift exchange. During the exchange, Buggy becomes wary of Teach, telling Shanks that he heard that Teach had never slept in his life, including during the ceasefire the last couple of nights. Roger meets with Whitebeard and Oden, amazed that Oden could read a Poneglyph. Roger originally thought that he had reached the end of the Grand Line on Lodestar Island, but since his Log Pose stopped working on the island, he deduced that there was a final island after that. He heard that the location of the final island was written in the Poneglyphs. Roger then says something unheard that completely shocks Oden before asking to borrow Oden for a year to reach the final island. Whitebeard originally refused, but Oden agreed, determined to find the final island of the Grand Line. He decides to part ways with Whitebeard and join the Roger Pirates with Toki and their children, while Izou, having growned fond of them, decides to stay with the Whitebeard Pirates, while Dogstorm and Cat Viper end up sneaking onboard Roger's ship as stowaways.

While enjoying time with the crew, Oden is shocked to learn of Roger's illness and he has about a year to live. The Roger Pirates travel the Grand Line as they visit several islands. They went up a Knock Up Stream to Skypiea, and found the ancient golden city of Shandora. There they found its national treasure, the belfry bell as well as a Poneglyph. After learning about the Ancient Weapon, Poseidon, Roger has Oden etch down the message that Robin would find in twenty years. When Roger decides to look for the Road Poneglyphs Oden, Dogstorm and Cat Viper imform him that both Zou and the Land Wano has one, and Roger with already gotten a copy of another Road Poneglyph belonging to Big Mom the Roger Pirates had already located three of the four Poneglyphs needed to find the final island. They then set sail for Water 7, there they met up with Tom for ship repairs, there Oden meets a young Fanky who ignores the samurai. The Roger Pirates then stop by Tequila Wolf and Sabaody Archipelago before heading to Fishman Island. On their way down Oden hears the voices of the Sea Kings just as Roger did. At Fishman Island, the Roger Pirates are able to take a copy of a Road Poneglyph that was in the Ryugu Kingdom's Sea Forest while a young Madam Shyarly predicts that the Ancient Weapon Poseidon will be born in 10 years.

Oden's adventure with the Roger Pirates led him back to his homeland of the Land of Wano, since there was a Road Poneglyph there. However, Toki falls ill from the fatigue from several years of adventure, so Oden was forced to leave her and the children in Wano, with Cat Viper and Dogstorm also deciding to stay behind. Oden was also willing to stay, but Toki insisted that Oden finish his journey with the Roger Pirates, threating to divorce him if he doesn't. After having a brief reunion with his retainers and introducing his family to them, Oden once again leaves the Land of Wano while quickly taking a copy of the Road Poneglyph. The Roger Pirates travel to Zou to get a copy of the final Road Ponegylph needed in order to arrive at the final island. Before departing, Buggy becomes extremely ill and stays behind with Shanks taking care of him, who vows thet he and Buggy will reach the final island on their own ship. When faced with the treasure on the last island, the Roger Pirates simply laugh while Roger expresses interest in the humorous tale of Joyboy. Roger then becomes the King of the Pirates as he dubs the final island "Laugh Tale".

After attaining everything and becoming the King of the Pirates, Roger disbands his crew. After discussing about who would surpass them, the Roger Pirates threw one last party together and Roger was the first one to leave the crew. Later, Oden returned to Wano with intentions to open its borders before Joy Boy's return and reunited with his family. The citizens were happy to see him return; he had become a celebrity since his wife helped the town after she recovered. Oden also met his retainers, except for Ashura and Denjiro. Ashura had returned to being a mountain bandit and Denjiro wandered around the country borrowing money. Kin'emon reveals to Oden what happened to the country while he was gone. Since Sukiyaki died of an illness, Orochi became the temporary shogun. Backed up by a powerful pirate, Kaido, Orochi had almost absolute power and built several weapons factories operated with slavery. After a family was executed by Orochi, the Oden's retainers protested the cruelty by going to Orochi's palace. However, while they were away, Kaido's men invaded Oden Castle and attempted to kill Momonosuke. Although the enemies were fought off, Toki was shot in the leg with an arrow protecting her child. Angry that his family was threatened and hurt by Orochi, Oden decides to confront him while the others to watch over Kuri while he is gone.

Oden charges to the Flower Capital to confront Orochi, cutting down anyone who tries to stop him. He then tries to attack Orochi but blocked by Semimaru's Bari-Bari Fruit ability and learns that Orochi had Higurashi take Sukiyaki's appearance to make himself the next shogun. Citizens outside cheered on Oden to save the country, but they were struck with poisoned arrows that rained down from the sky before Kaido arives at the capital in his dragon form.After his conversation with Orochi, Oden would dance in his underwear in front of the castle once a week. For this weird behaviour, the citizens started believing him to be a fool and stopped respecting him, with the children also made fun of him His retainers question him for answers, but Oden doesn't tell them. A year later, Oden receives a newspaper from the outside world from the shogun's messenger and learns of Roger's execution. Whitebeard, having also learned of Roger's death, thinks back to his final meeting with Roger who tells him about the Will of D. Meanwhile, Oden runs to the seacoast crying and laughing, praising Roger for the life he lived.

During the second year of Oden's return the Beast Pirates and Gecko Pirates clash against each other as someone vandalizes Ryuma's grave. Oden continues to dance, and the only people left that still support are his family, retainers, and Yasuie, as Hyogoro and his wife. Five years since Oden's return, Orochi goes back on a promise he made with Oden and reveals that he had Kaido deal with Hyogoro, those who attempted to aid Hyougoro, including his wife, were killed. This spurs Oden take action as he and his retainers, now given the name Akazaya Nine, set out to defeat Kaido. Arriving in the Udon region, Oden and the Akazaya Nine are confronted by the Beast Pirates. Wondering how and why they are prepared for them, Kaido reveals a spy must be among them. Oden questions Kaido about their promise and Kaido reveals it was a lie in order to increase their chance of victory. Oden and the Akazaya Nine charge at Kaido's subordinates and begin cutting them down. While Oden's men faced off, Toki watches over Momonosuke and Hiyori, as Yasuie, having arrived Kuri to protect Oden's family at his request, pressuress her to keep them safe at all costs.

Shinobu helps Oden and the Akazaya Nine in their battle as King and Queen join the fray to confront Oden's retainers. Oden confronts Kaido and is pushed back until he manages to injure him, leaving a scar. Kaido turns back into his human form and prepares to enter a final clash with Oden. However, Higurashi disguises herself as Momonosuke while a Beast Pirate held her at knifepoint distracting Oden just enough for Kaido to critically wound and defeat the off guarded samurai. Ashura and Kin'emon try to rescue Oden but are defeated as well by King and Queen. Oden and the Akazaya Nine were all jailed in the Flower Capital, with only Shinobu being spared, thanks to Oden denying allegiance to her so that she would not be arrested with the others. Three days later, Oden and the Akazaya Nine were sentenced to public execution by boiling. Just before Oden entered the pot, he suggested a wager to Orochi and Kaido: if he and his retainers could survive a set amount of time in the pot, they would be set free.

Although Orochi initially scoffs at Oden's suggestion, Kaidou accepts the challenge, agreeing to release the retainers if they survive one hour in the pot. As Oden enters the pot, already being singed by the boiling oil, his retainers run on the plank to also get in, but Oden lifts the plank up, allowing his retainers to sit safe from the boiling oil, despite their protests. Kaidou allows him to do this, since they're technically in the pot. The crowd watching the execution criticize Oden, but Shinobu stands up for him and reals the truth of Oden's burden. When he was confronted by Oden five years eariler, Orochi confessed that he only wanted to become the shogun so he could make the citizens of Wano suffer as vengeance for his family's unjust persecution at their hands. Shinobu reveals more, as she was hiding in the ceiling when it happened, Orochi had kidnapped hundreds of citizens meant as tributes to Kaido. At that point, Orochi offered Oden a bargain; Orochi would cease the kidnappings and he and Kaido would leave the Land of Wano after five years. In exchange, Oden had to dance naked in the Flower Capital every week while being humiliated by Orochi, saving 100 people from being kidnapped with each dance. Oden decided he had no choice as he could't face Kaido without causing a war that would result in mass casualties. The citizens are shocked by the sacrifices Oden made for them.

Fukurokuju confronts Shinobu for telling everyone the truth, but Shinobu denounces the Orochi Oniwabanshu and pledges loyalty to the Akazaya Nine as truth about Oden's sacrifices are spread through the public, and feeling bad for mocking him over the years, they rushed to the execution site to cheer him on, hoping for his survival. However, Oden knows that he will not survive the execution, so he tells his retainers to open up the country in his name, saying one day an important figure will appear . Oden manages to survive for over an hour, which enrages Orochi. The latter tells his men to shoot and kill Oden, breaking the promise. As ten minutes remains with Orochi becoming increasingly frustrated that Oden had not yet died. Through pure willpower, Oden pushes through the final ten minutes and completes the challenge. Despite this, Orochi decides to break his promises, and the firing squad point their guns on Oden anyway. After telling his retainers to open up the country for him, he throws the plank away from the execution area, allowing his retainers to flee to Kuri. They remembered their happy times with Oden as they tearfully ran away. Kaido mentions to Oden that he killed Higurashi for interfering with their fight, but then takes out his pistol and shots Oden in the head. Oden's final words, "Oden wouldn't be oden," is cut off, but the townspeople complete his sentence with, "if it wasn't boiled." as he dies with a smile.

News of Oden's death spread to Toki, who reflected on her final moments with Oden. Before he left to confront Kaido, Oden entrusted Toki with a scroll to be opened if he died in the battle. The scroll prophecized that in twenty years, someone would arrive to save the Land of Wano. Toki then remembers her visit to Oden while he was imprisoned, were he gave her his swords to pass them on to their children. After Shinobu arrives with their weapons, the Akazaya Nine rush towards the Oden Castle to protect Momonosuke, Toki and Hiyori while being pursued by the Beast Pirates. Dogstorm and Cat Cat Viper then get into a argument, blame each other ver Oden's death which ends with them being caught by one of the Numbers. Denjiro and Ashura stay back to fend off their foes, while the rest head forward to Kuri. As Kaidou's men set Oden Castle ablaze with Toki, Momonosuke and Hiyori still inside, Kaidou enters the castle looking to kill Momonosuke, but the boy's cowardice makes him lose interest, so he flies off leaving Momonosuke to die in the mansion. Having made her choice, Toki sends Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Kikunojo, Raizo, and Momonosuke 20 years into the future and has Kawamatsu escape with Hiyori. Shortly after, at the city gate, Toki announces the prophecy given to her by Oden to the crowd before she's shot down.

Orochi frustration grows over the fact Oden's retainers had not been caught. Meanwhile, Oden's remaining followers were devastated by the deaths. Ashura, who survived the encounter in the forest with injuries, reflected on the prophecy given by Toki just before her death. Kawamatsu attempted to cheer up a grieving Hiyori, but to no avail.Denjiro had a meltdown while hidden in a secluded wooden cabin. In the end, this transformed him into a cold and cynical person under the new name, Kyoshiro. He created a new yakuza group and very begrudgingly pledged allegiance to Orochi to work undercover. It is also revealed that Denjiro is also "Ushimitsu Kozo" who steals money from the Capital and distributes it to the poor. After running away from Kawamatsu, Hiyori meets Denjiro and agrees to take on the alias "Komurasaki" for the next 20 years, instructing to carry fake blood at all times so she could fake her death when needed. A few months before the present day, Orochi receives a letter from a Kurozumi spy that informs him about the return of the Akazaya Nine sent through time. When Kaido questions the spy's credibility, Orochi explains the spy is a member of the Kurozumi Family. He was originally part of a theatre troupe but his parents were killed in front of him by a lynch mob. The spy met with Orochi and Higurashi, who tasked him with working undercover as one of Oden's retainers while giving a Devil Fruit. The narrator then recounts the trails the retainers who were transported to the future endured, their separation, their meeting with the Straw Hats Pirates and the struggles with them though Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, Zou and Wano as Luffy leads a group of samurai to the rendezvous.

No allies have to come to aid the raid on Onigashima so the Akazaya Nine jump on a rowboat to get to Onigashima. Kikunojo deduces that there must be a traitor amongst them. Kin'emon struggles to accept that one of his friends betrayed them, Kanjuro coldly confesses that he's the traitor. He claims that while he had no ill will towards them, the persona of Oden's loyal retainer was just a role given to him to him by Orochi after witnessing his parents murder, revealing himself as a member of the Kurozumi Family. He reveals he was resoposible not only for leaking Oden's paln to attack Kaido 20 years ago, but also for Jack finding Zou and leaking information about the raid to Orochi, just three Beast Pirate ships come to attack them. Kin'emon cuts down Kanjuro, only to reveal that it is only a drawing of him made by his Devil Fruit,^[14]. The real Kanjuro is still at the port were he restrains Shinobu with drawn snakes and captures Momonosuke. As the Beast Pirates bombard the Akazaya's boat with cannonballs, their ships are attacked as the Thousand Sunny emerges from the high waves. At the same time, the Akazaya's boat is lifted from the water by the Polar Tang with Law scolding the samurai for underestimating the sea. Another of the Beast Pirates' ship is attacked on the other side by the Kid Pirates' ship, the Victoria Punk. Kid states he's only there to take down Kaido, also commenting that the rebels and their ships are at another port. As Luffy, Law and Kid prepare for battle, Luffy tells the samurai, that the sea is meant for pirates.

A naval battle between the Beast Pirates and the alliance ensues. It is revealed that the Thousand Sunny withstood the bombing attacks the day before thanks to being made made from the wood of the Treasure Tree Adam, which surprises the Gifters. When the Straw Hats ask where their allies are, Kin'emon tearfully tells them of the plans being leaked The Gifters then reveal how they prevented the rest of the allies from getting to Tokage Port; they bombed the ships docked at the port, as well as all connecting bridges. The Gifters also reveal that the Beast Pirates have formed an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates. Feeling satisfied, they decided to keep firing their cannons. Luffy, Law and Kid board the enemy ship, but get into a disagreement over who should destroy the ship. The three captains together go on to destroy the ship in an attempt to assert dominance over one another. Meanwhile, Kyoshiro arrives and destroys one of the Beast Pirate ships much to everyone's surprise.

After destroying the Beast Pirates' ships, Kyoshiro removes his fake pompadour and reveals his real identity as Denjiro. He then reveals that he freed 1000 prisoners from the Flower Capital, all of whom were willing to join the alliance, along with his 200 yakuza members. Then, Denjiro explains the new flyer given by Yasuie. What the lines really meant was to remove the middle syllables of "Habuminato" (Habu Port), getting "Hato" (wharf). The correct rendezvous point was at the wharf of Habu Port all along. Furthermore, although Orochi bombed the connecting bridges between regions, the allied forces had already crossed the bridge before then, due to Orochi misjudging the distance between locations and waited too long to act. Their ships were safely hidden away at the Habu wharf, while the ones destroyed at Itachi Port were the ones left behind. The other samurai arrive and with the men Denjiro brought, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance numbers now stand at 5400 strong. Denjiro commends Kin'emon for cleverly misinforming the other Akazaya to mislead the spy Kanjuro, unaware that Kin'emon had actually misunderstood the message himself, something the other Akazaya members realize. Kanjuro laments having let the alliance get away but attempts to escape with Momonosuke by drawing a crane, which is surprisingly good, reavling him being a bad artist was also a lie. Kawamatsu swims back to shore to confront Kanjuro, but he manages to flee, flying away with Momonosuke. As Luffy and Kid sink another enemy ship, they see them flying away

As Kawamatsu frees Shinobu from the drawn snakes, the Straw Hats become enraged from learning of Kanjuro's betrayal. After clashing with Usopp and Sanji, Kanjuro uses his hair to create an ink cloud which rains arrows of ink below the allies striking the alliance their ships. Momonosuke is initially overcome with fear, but when he remembers Luffy encouraging him back in Zou, Momonosuke tells his allies to continue the fight, while he escapes on his own but internally doubts it. Hearing this, Luffy brings on how Momonosuke is crying (with the Samurai being angered by his audacity) but Luffy promises to save him no matter what. The Beast Pirates start attacking the samurai's ships from a distance with long-range cannons, sinking several. Suddenly, the Beast Pirates' attacking ship is destroyed by a piercing bursts of water, and much to the Straw Hats' excitement (and to Law's and Kid's confoundment) the one who attacked the ship is Jimbei who has finally arrived in Wano to join the Straw Hat Pirates as their official helmsmen.

The Straw Hats are happy to welcome Jinbe into their crew. Luffy decides to have a celebratory drink for Jinbe joining the crew, but there's no alcohol, though Zoro can smell some coming from Onigashima's direction as the allied fleet starts to near Onigashima. Shishillian leads the Minks and Hyougoro leads the samurai. The allies gather in a circle on the Polar Tang and Kin'emon discusses the plan. Onigashima is an island surrounded on all sides by mountains except for a single passage at the front, which is guarded at a torii gate. The castle, shaped like a skull, has a back entrance that could be entered, being less heavily-guarded than the front entrance. The allies would enter the front gate, use the mountain paths to reach the back entrance, and crash Kaidou's banquet to assassinate him. When Denjiro, overestimating Kin'emon strategic skills, comments on what he believes to be a decoy plan's foolishness, Law proposes a better plan. Luffy and Kid would burst through the front gate as decoys. A second decoy would be sent around the mountain paths to the back entrance. The other allies would sneak in by water with the Polor Tang, then be teleported into the island with Law's ability. Kin'emon and Denjiro would each lead a decoy group going around the castle. The Straw Hats stop by an enemy fortress just in front of Onigashima where the its torii gate is located. Franky attachrs the Thousand Sunny's anchor to the gate before the Straw Hats set foot onto the island. All of them, except for Nami, Usopp and Chopper, decimate the enemy troops.

The allies continue to discuss their plans on getting past the front gate when they notice the Straw Hats are missing. They realize that they have already taken over the torii gate, despite it being heavily armed. As Kaido yells at his subordinates that he wants his son to show up at the banquet, he is informed that the Tobi Roppo have arrived and he decides to introduce them to Big Mom, only to learn she's changing into a kimono. Queen begins the Golden Kagura festivities with a musical performance with Apoo as DJ, while Orochi is confident the Akazaya Nine are now taken care of. Meanwhile, all six members the Tobi Roppo, X Drake, Page One and his older sister Ulti, Sasaki, Who's-Who and Black Maria, meet to hear their captain's request, though they all know what it is. The Straw Hats set up to toast Jimbe joining, but after the Akazaya Nine and their other allies advance on Onigashima, they decide to wait to celebrate with everyone after they defeat Kaido, Orochi and Big Mom.

Luffy and Kid race to Onigashima, with Jinbe controlling the Thousand Sunny. Meanwhile, Raizo briefs the plan. Kid and Luffy would enter through the front gate as decoys while Kin'emon and Denjiro each lead another decoy group through the mountain path. Starting the plan, Kin'emon sets sail while the Heart Pirates go underwater in their submarine. The allies enter to find Onigashima vibrantly illuminated, with the guards at a banquet and unprepared for enemy attacks. Usopp knocks out the few intoxicated guards on lookout, allowing the others to safely disembark. However, they destroy their return ships, making it impossible for them to escape if they had to. They split up into their two decoy groups Kin'emon uses his Garb-Garb ability to make everyone's clothes blend in with the Beast Pirates though warns everyone that if the disguises are damaged or removed, they will transform back into regular outfits. He then gives a speech to the samurai to take advantage of their disguises and reach the castle for the final battle.

Although Orochi believes that the Akazaya Nine have been stopped, the raid on Onigashima officially begins. Kin'emon leads the eastern forces while Denjiro leads the southern forces up the mountain paths. Kid decides to go his own way and barge into the island head-on, and Luffy follows him with Zoro. They enter the party hall and find a raucous party being thrown. Although the Akazaya samurai are concerned, Law reassures them that it was part of the plan, as Luffy and Kid were meant to be the first decoys at the front gate. Kanjuro leads Momonosuke down a secret passageway to Orochi, but gets lost in its maze-like tunnels while dealing with guards as they're unaware of Kanjuro being a spy, as Momonosuke sees a viable knife on the floor. As Luffy and Zoro enter the Performance Floor, the rest of the Straw Hats splits into three groups to go up the mountain pass; Franky and Brook riding the Black Rhino FR-U IV, Usopp, Nami, Chopper, Carrot and Shinobu go in Brachio Tank V, with Sanji riding on top as Robin and Jimbe decide to go by foot, the latter two unaware they're being watch by a masked figure. Ulti throws another temper tantrum in front of the Tobi Roppo before they are finally summoned by Kaido. Meanwhile, Zoro attempts to blend in with the Beast Pirates but ends up enraged when one of the partygoers mocks the impoverished people of Wano who could not afford to drink as lavishly as them. Meanwhile, Luffy also sees Beast Pirates gorging themselves on food from the Paradis Farm and mocking the people of Okobore Town while, wastefully dumping oshiruko on the floor, angering him, as he remembers when he fed Tama oshiruko, who accepted it gratefully.

As the Tobi Roppo go to see Kaido, it revealed that King was the one who summoned them in order to aid Kaido with a situation. An Headliner and flying squirrel SMILE user, Bao Huang, then appears. While going over a itinerary, she reveals that Kaidu will make a surprise announcement sometime during the party. Kaido then tasks the Tobi Roppo to find and bring back his son, Yamato, offering the one who succeeds a chance to fight a Lead Performer for their position. Meanwhile, Kid, who is in the party, attacks some of the partygoers and demands to see Kaido while Zoro also picks a fight with some of them over their wastfullness. Elsewhere, Luffy, remembering Tama's struggles, is enraged at the Beast Pirates are continually wasting oshiruko and attacks them with a Elephant Gun. The attack alerts the attention of the partygoers, who panic and retreat, Kid decides take advantage of the ruckus to advance, while Zoro cuts through a tower to get to Luffy on the live floor which causes a commotion. Zoro calls Luffy out for ruining their plans by starting a commotion this early on (with Kid's crewmate Heat retorting he is causing one himself). Luffy explains to Zoro that they spilled a pot of oshiruko, which reminds Zoro too of Tama and he agrees to help him cut them down.

Remembering Tama's joy from oshiruko for the first time in Okobore Town, Luffy explains how wasteful the partygoers were being. Zoro decides to join Luffy before they decide to escape the Performance Floor. Scratchmen Apoo notices and recognizes Luffy and Zoro and alertts Queen who watches them from above, shocked that Luffy escaped the prisoner mine. Queen realizes that Babanuki lied to him when he reported that Luffy was safely behind bars. Queen calls out to all the partygoers, announcing that he plans on eliminating a member of the Tobi Roppo and offers the soon-to-be vacant spot to the person who captures Luffy. Luffy and Zoro battle several Gifters, but Apoo intervenes and attacks them using his music-based Devil Fruit ability.^[15] Even when Luffy and Zoro remove their disguises to fight better, they're still overwhelmed. Kid decides to intervene himself, using his Devil Fruit ability to attract the metal around him to create a gigantic metallic arm that he slams into Apoo for betraying their former alliance.

Kid confronts Apoo about his betrayal, but Apoo fights back as Queen, shocked that Kid has also escaped from the prisoner mine, gives his men permission to kill the intruders. Then one of the Numbers, Haccha comes to interfere, with Kid noting that the Number is bigger than a giant. Kid's crewmates Heat and Wire handles Haccha while Luffy, Zoro, Kid and Killer escape the area but are again confronted by Apoo. Killer tells the others to cover their ears as he figured out that Apoo's attacks only works if the target can hear the sound waves he creates. Big Mom's crew prepare make their way up the falls, unaware of the port behind it. Chopper's group with the tank joins Kin'emon's forces up the east mountain path. Kin'emon decides to modify the plan. The group will split into another two groups; one group will enter through the side of the Skull Dome and the other through the back. This will allow them to attack Orochi and Kaidou from two angles. Meanwhile, Denjiro leads the southern forces, the rest of the Akazaya Nine are under the sea, and Robin, Jinbe, Franky and Brook infiltrate the castle in disguise. Although Kin'emon's group encounters enemy Beast Pirates, Nami and Carrot use their good looks to charm their way through. Unfortunately, Kin'emon's group finds that the island blueprints were out of date, and the castle has been expanded since it was made. The forces encounter a pond on the eastern mountain path as Sanji finds a pleasure hall owned by Black Maria, but is di finds it empty since Kaidou's subordinates have left in search of the intruders. Nami, Carrot and Shinobu decide to break away from the group to search for Momonosuke. In the live floor Apoo explains what happened to Killer. When Killer was imprisoned, Orochi offered him a chance to save his captain if he ate a SMILE fruit. Killer ate the fruit but it was defective, giving him the side effects but no ability and making him a Pleasure. Angered that his partner is being mocked, Kid almost starts another fight, but is stopped by Luffy and the others. Who's-Who decides not to intervene in the battle, instead working on tracking down Yamato before Sasaki does. He also thinks about how Queen said he would kill one of the Tobi Roppo with Who's-Who mentioning there's certain Tobi Roppo he wants to kill.

Although Luffy attempts to follow the plan, Kid and Killer continue to wreak havoc on enemy units. Meanwhile, at the eastern mountain path, Kin'emon's forces split into two groups. One group enters the castle while the other continues down the path. Chopper and Usopp in Brachio Tank V joins the group head towards the back. Most of them see Big Mom's shadow from the window and dive into the water, but she opens the window finds Chopper riding the tank.The Big Mom Pirates, led by Perospero, finally make it back up the waterfall. However, they see another flying figure, thinking it's King, only to find out it's Marco in his Human-Beast Form, who arrived to the Land of Wano to aid Luffy. Although they attack Marco, he kicks the ship back down the waterfall. Cat Viper and Izou, who have also arrived to aid the rebellion, ride up the waterfall and watch the ship falling down. Orochi meets with Kaido and discusses the samurai's plan, with Black Maria staying to attend the banquet them instead of searching for Yamato. Orochi expresses his believies that the allies have died at sea. He comments on how trusting the samurai were of Kanjuro prior to his betrayal, since he nearly died along with them in the boiling pot twenty years ago. However, Kaidou laments that Oden never told them the location of Laugh Tale. The Beast Pirates outside, unaware that Kanjuro was on their side, act hostile towards him, but they are defeated and Kanjuro enters Orochi's throne room. He brings with him an unconscious, beaten Momonosuke. Meanwhile, Page One carries Ulti down the hallway. Off the coast of Onigashima, as he Polar Tang encounters a particularly strong current, Cat Viper contacts Dogstorm to imform him that he's just finished climbing the waterfall with his subordinates, but Cat Viper hangs up before discussing how his group his going to get to the island. In the mansion, Zoro cuts down a wall to get to Kaido, only to find several Beast Pirates on the other side. He and Luffy fight the enemies off, but get separated. As more enemies come, Luffy decides to practice his Ryuo on them.

Big Mom recognizes Chopper as a Straw Hat, forcing Chopper and Usopp attempt to flee in Brachio Tank V with Big Mom chasing after them. Kanjuro comes to Orochi with an unconscious, beaten Momonosuke. He states that Momonosuke attempted to escape by cutting the rope with the knife, but Kanjuro beat him unconscious. However, Kanjuro reports that he failed to thwart the Akazaya Nine's plans, and that the allied forces are in Onigashima. However, Fukurokuju reports that since there were no enemy ships at the port, the island was safe from enemy attacks. Still, Orochi prepares to execute Momonosuke to damage the enemy morale, Meanwhile, Marco and Cat Viper head to Onigashima with Izo also being with them. The revealed message that Marco wanted deliver to Luffy was simpliy "I'll be late, but I'll be there" as Marco states joining the raid to help avenge Oden. Denjiro leads the southern forces up the mountain path only to find the map is out-of-date, as they encounter an unmapped gate. Sasaki exits the gate, and recognizes Kyoshiro, unaware that he was Denjiro. Although Sasaki was trusting of Denjiro, Denjiro's men ambush Sasaki, tying him to a tree with Seastone chains. From there, the southern forces split up into two groups; one would enter the Skull Dome while the other continues down the path. Meanwhile, Big Mom chases Chopper and Usopp into a canyon, with Kaido's forces setting up cannons and mortars to fire at the Brachio Tank V. Although the duo destroys the cannons an mortars they're unable to harm Big Mom and once again force to flee. Since Big Mom has been lured away, Kin'emon's forces are able to safely come out of hiding. They make their advance, but Nami's group is spotted by Prometheus. Meanwhile, Ulti insists that Page One carry her down the hall, but they fall down the stairs and encounter Luffy.

A mysterious masked figure runs through the halls, excited to meet someone while being chased by the Beast Pirates who see them. They crosses through several rooms, including the one where Kid is fighting Beast Pirates. Meanwhile, Ulti checks on her brother Page One. She again throws a fit in front of him, remembering how she rode on Page One's back down the staircase. She then confronts Luffy, being told that he is a pirate intruder. They immediately get into a fight and they headbutt each other, each attempting to knock the other down. Ulti gets the upper hand and slams Luffy into the floor. She transforms into the Human-Beast Form form of her Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Type Model: Pachycephalosaurus while Page One transforms into his full spinosaurus form. Although Luffy gets up, he acknowledges that he is in an Emperor's castle and fights at full strength. Eventually, Luffy grabs onto Ulti's horns and slams her into the ground, then defeats Page One with a Haki-imbued Gear Third punch. Enrage, Ulti transforms into her Beast Form, headbutting Luffy. She prepares a more powerful headbutt, but the masked figure appears and uses a kanabō to strike her down with the same move Kaido used to beat Luffy in their fight. Excited to see Luffy, the masked figure carries him away, saying he's been waiting for Luffy, before revealing himself to be Yamato, Kaidou's son.

Angry that the Big Mom Pirates' ship was knocked down the waterfall twice, Perospero rides to Onigashima on his candy slug. He swears revenge on King and Marco for knocking the ship down, and Luffy for the humiliation he done to the Big Mom Pirates, as well a stating that he against his mother's idea for an alliance. The Brachio Tank V fires several rounds at Big Mom but she is unharmed by the fire. She prepares to use her Devil Fruit powers on Usopp and Chopper, but upon hearing Prometheus' calling her saying he's found Zeus, she walks away. Although the tank is unharmed, a transformation switch is activated, turning the tank into the lower half of the General Franky. Despite being worried about Nami's group, Usopp and Chopper decide must unite it with the Kurosai FR-U IV to form the full General Franky, beleiving Sanji will protect them, unaware he ran off to look for women. As Big Mom walks through the halls in search of Zeus, she creates homies with pieces of her soul. Nami, knowing she could not win in a battle against Big Mom, decides to run into the Performance Hall with Zeus to avoid her. Robin and Jinbe are among the partygoers and they spot Hyougoro, and they are glad that the samurai successfully entered the castle. Robin is harassed by a drunken Beast Pirate but she knocks him out. Then, Orochi appears on the party room balcony, showing Momonosuke tied to a cross and preparing to execute him. Kaidou is disappointed that Orochi interrupted his party, Meanwhile, Zoro is in the halls but is surrounded on both sides. He encounters a group of Gifters who confess that many of them dreamt about being King of the Pirates but all gave up on it before offering him a spot in the Beast Pirates. Zoro refuses and cuts the enemies down. The medical team tends to Ulti's mouth injury and helps her regain consciousness while Page One, who had no injury other than a dislocated jaw, goes to chase after Yamato. Luffy questions Yamato's motive and attacks her, who blocks Luffy's attacks. When Luffy attacks Yamato with Red Hawk, it reminds his battle against Ace who came to Wano for Kaido's head.

Deciding to trust Yamato, Luffy agrees to hear him out as Pade One and the Beast Pirates attempt to locate them. Orochi prepares to execute Momonosuke to damage the enemy morale. He explains to the crowd that Momonosuke was a time traveller who was transported twenty years into the future by his mother, Toki. The crowd votes on his method of execution. Although Robin, Jinbe, Hyougoro and the other allies are unhappy to see Momonosuke on the cross, they are forced to jeer at him to blend in. At Onigashima's coast, Law's submarine approaches the back of the island, battling strong currents. When the submarine goes up to the surface, then Law uses his Devil Fruit ability to transport himself, Bepo, Penguin, Shachi onto the island. Marco also arrives, having carried Cat Viper and Izou to Onigashima. As Kikunojo has a heartfelt reunion with his brother after twenty years separated, the Heart Pirates and Akazaya members prepare to enter the castle as Marco flies off to inspect something heading to the island. Elsewhere, as Kaido gets frustrated that Yamato has not been captured yet, he decides to personally appear at the party, appearing by Momonosuke. Along with the execution, Kaido introduces a certain "New Onigashima Project." Finally in private, Luffy grants Yamato five minutes to explain himself. Yamato explains that he idolized Oden and when he was executed, Yamato proclaimed himself to be Oden. He went to Kuri and found Oden's logbook, reading about his adventures with the Whitebeard and Roger Pirates. Yamato removes his mask, revealing his face. As Yamato is actully a woman and doesn't look masculine, Luffy is confused on why he called himself Kaido's son. Yamato says that he decided to become a man because Oden was a man, and took on Oden's name to continue his dream of opening Wano's borders. Yamato then tells Luffy that he reminds him of Ace, shocking him.

Yamato tells Luffy how Ace came to Wano for Kaido's head and mentioned Luffy a lot. Yamato also admits to have wanted to jion Ace's crew but couldn't. On the top of the castle, Law and his crew break away from the group to achieve their own goals. However, the remaining samurai are attacked by headless samurai on horseback, deducing they are drawings made by Kanjuro. Kanjuro comes out of the castle door with some Beast Pirates and confronts them, revealing what happened to Momonosuke. Momonosuke attempted to escape by cutting his ropes using a knife. Although he managed to cut Kanjuro's hand, he was brutally beaten unconscious and taken to Orochi. Kanjuro finishes by announcing Momonosuke's public execution at the party. Outraged and feeling betrayed, the samurai wage a battle against Kanjuro's forces. Cat Viper has replaced his severed hand with a double-barrel gun and Dogstorm replaced his leg with a sword, so they battle fiercely against their enemies. However, Kikunojo still attempts to sympathize with Kanjuro, believing that there was still some good in him. After Kanjuro denounces the samurai for the last time, she enters the battle. Nami's group is chased by Prometheus down the halls, and are further attacked by the homies. Nami and Carrot are captured, but upon Naami's insistence, Shinobu flees to resscue Momonosuke. Zeus also attempts to intervene, but is grabbed by Big Mom's obscured hand. Back in the attic, Yamato explains that he wishes to jion Luffy's crew and be free like Oden, but Kaido fitted him with shackles that would explode if he left the island, and while Yamato admits he's unsure if Kaido would kill him, he's too afraid to test it. Luffy offers to remove his handcuffs for him, but they are interrupted by Kaido's speech from the Performance Floor. Kaido announces to the crowd his official alliance with the Big Mom Pirates to gather the Acient Weapons to use against the World Government. In the hallway, Big Mom attacks Zeus before personally crashing into the party hall.

The alliance in the Performance Floor are shocked by Big Mom's appearance and her capture of Nami's group. She and Kaido mention the purpose of their alliance is to acquire the One Piece and Ancient Weapons to bring fear and war. He also announces a new plan: he would take full control of the country and enslave all citizens, including those in the Flower Capital. Orochi objects, arguing that the capital is the pride of the Kurozumi Family. Kaido promptly takes out his sword and decapitates him. Upon seeing Momonosuke on the cross through a crack in the ceiling, Luffy and Yamato fall through the ceiling into the party below. They go to rescue Momonosuke.. Meanwhile, Kikunojo and Kanjuro continue their battle with Kanjuro using their past against her, saying it was all an act. Accepting that the Kanjuro she knew will never return, Okiku defeats himKin'emon and Denjiro have reached the back of the castle and join the group, who is still hurt from Kanjuro's betrayal. Still, they decide to move forward and continue their advance. Meanwhile, Kaido gives Orochi's subordinates an ultimatum: join him or die. He also mentions turning Wano into a pirate empire for the war, relocating Onigashima to the Flower Capital and making Yamato the new shogun of New Onigashima. Angered by this news, Yamato makes a shortcut for her and Luffy to use to reach Kaido.

To Hyogoro's shock and disgust, Orochi's subordinates decide to join Kaido's side and abandon their shogun. Big Mom is relieved to have this issue dealt with, and orders her homies to keep Nami and Carrot restrained. Nami places her trust in Shinobu to save Momonosuke, and as Shinobu moves stealthily through the crowd, she notes that Oden knew all along that killing Orochi would change nothing and their real enemy is Kaido. Kaidou then goes to Momonosuke, remembering when he left him in the burning castle to die. Just like twenty years ago, Kaidou demands to know Momonosuke's name, offering to cancel the execution if he turns out not to be the son of Oden. The crowd encourages Momonosuke to lie to escape the execution. Yamato and Luffy run down the hall, where Yamato hears, to his delight, that the Oden's retainers are alive. However, they are pursued by Who's-Who and Ulti. Meanwhile, Usopp and Chopper in the Brachio Tank V, on its two legs, run through a dark cave, accidentally waking up one of the Numbers. At the seas outside the island, Perospero battles against Marco, where they both express their disapproval of Kaido and Big Mom's alliance. Back at the Performance Hall, through sheer bravery, Momonosuke gives his real name to Kaidou, revealing he is a member of the Kouzuki Family and declaring himself as the future shogun of the Land of Wano, angering Kaido. Just then, Luffy uses advance Armament Haki to remove Yamato's handcuffs and they explode, revealing, to Yamato's horror, that the shackles really were explosive. Angry, Yamato denounces Kaido as his father and prepares to attack him, but Luffy stops him so that the samurai could act. Kin'emon's forces advance through the hallways and break into the platform with Kaido and the Lead Performers. CatViper strikes down Jack and Izou manages to disarm King. Shocked that the Akazaya Nine have returned like the prophecy said, Queen makes the announcement to the crowd that they are facing a full-scale raid. Together, the Akazaya Nine yell "sunacchi" before slashing Kaido, cutting him like how Oden did twenty years ago.

As he falls, Kaidou realizes that the Akazaya Nine used Ryuo to pierce through his body. He crashes into the ground below. The Lead Performers realize that Luffy's group was only a decoy for the real invading group. Ulti confronts Yamato for striking her down earlier. Yamato officially defects from the Beasts Pirates, swearing allegiance to the Kouzuki Family, saying he doesn't care if Kaido die as he attacks the enemy Beast Pirates and battles Ulti head-on. Elsewhere, Law travels through Kaido's castle, and Who's-Who stops chasing Yamato to resolve other business. Meanwhile, Big Mom spots and appoaches Luffy. Shinobu sneaks onto the balcony in an attempt to rescue Momonosuke, while Robin and Jinbe prepare to strike when needed. In the hallway, Nami and Carrot fight back against the homies, striking them with electricity and killing them all. Nami then runs after Big Mom to retrieve Zeus. Luffy and Big Mom quickly enter battle, and punch each other, but Big Mom overpowers Luffy, knocking him back. At the same time, Nami finds Zeus. Terrified of her, Zeus rejoins Nami. The Akazaya Nine attempt to kill Kaido by stabbing him with their swords. Kin'emon recites the prophecy given by Toki twenty years prior. They nearly succeed in killing Kaido, but he unleashes a powerful attack knocking them all back. Back on the Performance Floor, Big Mom asks Luffy why he came here, being incredulous that he seriously intends to take on Kaido. To his allies' surprise, Luffy denies it, saying he's not just there for Kaido. Kaido deduces that the samurai have allied themselves with Luffy to take him down. Kaido attempts to deceive the samurai, claiming that Luffy would betray them whenever he saw fit. Kin'emon rebukes Kaido's words as slander and refuses to back down, saying that Luffy will one day stand at the pinnacle of the seas and no matter what happens, he will remain and achieve the promise of daybreak coming back to Wano. Luffy tells Big Mom that he came to defeat all of his enemies as he declares an all-out war.

War ensues in Onigashima. Big Mom and Kaido assume that the raid would be easily defeated, as Luffy only had a few hundred troops. However, Queen gets a report that there are enemies in the thousands charging into Onigashima. When the alliance, Kidd Pirates, Marco and Perospero begin to overrun Kaido's castle, Queen calls off the banquet and tells the Beast Pirates to counter the raid. Shinobu, who is hiding in the ceiling just above Momonosuke, prepares to rescue him. However, she cannot act immediately as the Lead Performers are still on the balcony.Kaido transforms into his dragon form and flies outside up to the roof with the Akazaya Nine riding on him. The Minks and Jack, Numbers member, Nangi and soldiers join their battle with the Minks transforming into their Sulong forms to clash with Jack in his mammoth form aswell as Nangi and the soldiers. Cat Viper and Dogstorm then begin to transform into their Sulong forms as well.

Shinobu tries to rescue Momonosuke but gets caught by King, who prepares to kill Momonosuke until Sanji rescues him in his Raid Suit and tosses him to Shinobu. Sanji attempts to combat King, but the Lead Performer gets the upper hand, transforming into his pteranodon form, piercing Sanji with his beak and crashing into a building. Luffy tells Yamato to protect Momonosuke while he deals with Big Mom who launches a powerful attack that Luffy dodges and almost kills Sasaki, but destroys the tree he was chained to. She then goes after Nami, who still has Zeus and retrieves him to prepare an attack and strike her down with Nami denouncing her friendship with Zeus. But Franky and Brook arrive with Brook slicing Zeus in half and Franky running over Big Mom's face with the back wheel of the Black Rhino FR-U IV, sending her to the floor.

While everyone is surprised by Franky running over Big Mom, Luffy prepares to go to the roof. Usopp and Chopper try to escape from Numbers members, Jaki, Goki and Juki but to no avail. Yamato knocks Ulti away and reaches Momonosuke and Shinobu, who learn from Luffy that she is an ally. However, after he calls himself Oden, they run away. Big Mom wakes up in anger and Franky prepares to fire a Radical Beam at her but is surprised when the Numbers, arrive. Their gigantic size reminds the Straw Hats of the time they battled Oars in Thriller Bark. Big Mom explains that they were failed artificial recreations of ancient giants from Punk Hazard that were failed experiments but were purchased by Kaido. Noticing Jaki carrying the Brachio Tank V, Franky fires the Radical Beam at him. Taking advantage of the situation, Big Mom attempts to attack Franky but is stopped by Jimbei and Robin, who sends her rolling out of the castle. Franky tells Usopp and Chopper that it's time to combine while Luffy looks up at the hole to the roof, telling Kin'emon to wait for him.

Big Mom rolls out of the castle and down the entrance steps, being spotted by Perospero. Meanwhile, Sasaki's chains are broken off by his subordinates as he swears revenge on Denjiro for betraying him. Atop the Skull Dome, Kaido and Jack's forces battle against the Minks. Although Jack fights off the Minks, Dogstorm and Cat Viper take over, transforming into their Sulong forms to face him. Inside the castle, Luffy and Zoro meet up on the platform, intending to go to the rooftop to face Kaido. They attempt to launch through the hole in the ceiling, but they are caught by Queen's dinosaur mouth and King also appears. They are flung off the balcony, where they are faced by Jaki on the ground below. However, Franky combines the Black Rhino FR-U IV and the Brachio Tank V to form General Franky. Operating the robot, Franky shoots down Jaki with his cannon. Unharmed by King's attack, Sanji emerges from the rubble and removes his raid suit. Although he is attacked by enemy units, Luffy and Zoro fight at his aid. The Straw Hats battle against the enemy Beast Pirates, remembering their past adventures as a crew. Despite being far stronger than most of the Beast Pirates, the Straw Hats are still greatly outnumbered. Still, they gather and prepare to battle against the Lead Performers and the Tobi Roppo.

Drake watches the alliance take on the Beast Pirates and thinks back to Koby telling him how Luffy draws people in. He tells Hawkins it's the best time to turncoat, but Hawkins refuses and predicts someone only has 1% chance of surviving until tomorrow. King contacts the Tobi Roppo and tells them to prevent the intruders from reaching the roof. Who's-Who then asks Drake to help him kill Queen. The samurai clash with the Mimawarigumi (a samurai squad that served Orochi) and the Orochi Oniwabanshu while Zoro and Jimbei save them from Goki's attack. Meanwhile, Drake and Who's-Who confront Queen only for, Who's-Who to instead turns on Drake, shooting him in the arm. Hawkins then reveals that his prediction was for Drake. Queen reveals that they were aware of Drake's betrayal all along; he was spotted letting Law out of prison, so they deduced that he was a traitor. Queen prepares to torture Drake for information regarding his true allegiances. The Straw Hats aid the samurai in battling another one of the Numbers, Goki. Luffy remembers when they defeated Oars in Thriller Bark. Although that battle required the efforts of the entire crew, Luffy transforms into his Boundman form to battle Goki on his own. Drake escapes, throwing a grenade at Queen before transforming into his Human-Beast Form and fleeing. Leaping into the party, he uses his sword and four-bladed axe to cut down another Number, Juki, just as Luffy defeats Goki. Noticing each other, Drake detransforms and asks Luffy to fight alongside him.

Before Luffy can answer, Zoro attacks Drake and tells Luffy not to trust him with Franky and Jimbei agreeing as well. However, Luffy lets him join despite his crew's protest and runs to the castle with Sanji. Page One and Ulti defeat a horde of samurai and try to attack Luffy before being stopped by Usopp and Nami. Apoo attacks Luffy and Sanji but its ineffective due to them covering their ears. As Apoo laments over the defeats of Jaki, Goki, and Juki, it's reveled that the Numbers consist of ten members. Haccha arrives to help and goes after the General Franky while carrying Jaki. Franky decides to run away, chased by Hatcha, to prevent him from further rampaging in the Performance Floor. Zoro continues to clash with Drake and questions his true identity until Apoo tries to summon more Numbers. They attack him together, but Apoo dodges and Zoro accepts Drake's alliance due to their mutual dislike of Apoo. They attack Apoo together until Queen fires a gatling gun into the crowd, striking several samurai fighters with bullets. Although their wounds are shallow, the bullets immediately begin taking effect, freezing the victims' skin and coating it with ice. Drake finds that the bullets fired were Plague Rounds, and the samurai were affected by another one of Queen's viruses.

The samurai shot by Queen continue to freeze over and turn into onis, attacking their own comrades who turn into demons as well. Queen fires more bullets at the samurai and even some of the Beast Pirates. Yamato is still chasing after Momonosuke and Shinobu to convince them she is their ally. The fierce battle atop the Skull Dome continues, and Shishilian manages to defeat Nangi in his Sulong form. Dogstorm and Cat Viper confront Jack, remembering how Jack terrorized the Mokomo Dukedom and severed their limbs. Elsewhere, Wanda and the Mink forces attempt to stop enemy Beasts Pirates from climbing to the top of the Skull Dome. Carrot also joins in but is forced to leave after hearing Perospero with Wanda chasing after her. Just outside the castle, Big Mom gets up from falling down the stairs and speaks with Perospero and Marco. The battle between Dogstorm and Cat Viper against Jack continues ends with the two Minks triumphant, slashing Jack's eye and cutting off part of his tusk. Kaido decides to take over the battle, acknowledging reassuring Jack that he didn't lose because he was weak; his opponents were just too strong. Kaido then allows Jack to leave the battle to receive medical treatment for his injuries. Perospero initially protests her alliance with Kaido, but decides to trust her, but this places him at odds with Marco Marco battles Big Mom fiercely just as Carrot shows up and recognizes Perospero, remembers how Pedro sacrificed himself to help the Straw Hats escape from him. Carrot charges in to avenge Pedro's death, before stopping to look at the full moon. As Luffy and Sanji run through the hallways, Kaidou fires a fireball at the samurai, but Kin'emon slices through it as the Akazaya Nine prepare for battle.

As Queen continues firing Plague Ronuns into the crowd, King orders Bao Huang to locate Momonosuke, who along with Shinobu, is still being chased by Yamato. The Akazaya Nine work together to battle Kaido. Raizo and Denjiro strike Kaido's underbelly, Kin'emon climbs onto his body and pierces his head, and Dogstorm and Cat Viper strike him with Electro. Kaidou is still unharmed, flinging them to the ground before blasting them with lightning. Still, just like Oden twenty years ago, the samurai rise in the flames Kin'emon remembers a time when Oden offered to teach them his Oden Two-Sword Style, but they declined. The Akazaya Nine rally together and their attacks begin to injure Kaido, who wonders in bewilderment how the Scabbards are able to hurt him, as none of their attacks are as strong Oden's. Kaido readies another fire breath attack against the samurai, but Raizo then summons a giant scroll which intercepts the fire blast and absorbs all of it before having the scroll wrap around Kaidou's entire dragon body before releasing the fire from it.^[16] Despite their efforts though Kaido remains unharmed. Undeterred, Kin'emon, Denjiro, Ashura, and Dogstorm charge at the emperor using Oden Two-Sword Style, with Kaido surprised to see an image of Oden as the samurai cut him in his scar using their master's sword style.

The slash that the Akazaya Nine inflicted on Kaido draws blood the scars that Oden made, as collapses from the injury. Back inside, Queen takes out his gatling gun and fires another volley of Plauge Rounds. Zoro is forced to fight off the infected samurai who became hostile from the virus. The Straw Hats are appalled by this new highly-infectious virus, and Queen names it his masterpiece, the Ice Oni. In the hallway, after beating some Beast Pirates, Luffy and Sanji encounter Headliner Briscola, a SMILE Fruit user with a gorilla growing out of his left arm. Jinbe then arrive and defeats Briscola easily before joining Luffy and Sanji in battling against the remaining Beast Pirates. In the Flower Capital, the citizens continue to celebrate the Fire Festival while still clinging the belief that the Kozuki clan will save them. On the Skull Dome's rooftop, Kaido has fallen and the Akazaya Nine attempt to finish him off but he gets back up, telling them their attacks were too shallow to reopen his wound. He then unleashes a roar of wind blades, one of which cuts off Kikunojo's left arm.

Shinobu and Momonosuke are chased by Yamato into the right brain tower. Shinobu uses a falling piece of paper to divert Yamato away from him. They are now safe from him, but they are spied on by Bao Huang's black cat. Bao Huang reports back to King about Momonosuke's location, and King sends the report to his subordinates. He orders all available Healiners and Tobi Roppo to go to the right brain tower to kill Momonosuke. Shinobu runs into a dark location only to be ambushed by the Beast Pirates' Armoured Division, led by Sasaki. All members of this division have SMILE abilities that give them an armour-like defense. Shinobu is attacked by a turtle SMILE user, and Momonosuke refuses to run away to save himself. Just then, Yamato appears at his aid, defeating the turtle man and sending him crashing into a wall. Yamato declares that he will fight for the Kouzuki Family. Queen starts to get bored of shooting the enemy samurai, so he decides to start firing at his own men as well. He shoots the Pleasures, knowing that they would simply laugh in response to being shot. Zoro, Chopper, Robin, Brook, the uninfected samurai, Mimawarigumi and Orochi Oniwabanshu battle the ice oni to avoid getting infected, the latter wondering where Fukurokuju went. However, one of the yakuza, Omasa, is scratched by an oni's nail and is infected. Chopper swears revenge on Queen for his gross misuse of manmade viruses. Luffy, Jinbe and Sanji run through the hallways and defeat Hamlet, a giraffe SMILE user who has an entire giraffe's body growing from his backside starting from the neck, thus leaving his main body hanging several meters in the air, and Fourtricks, a chicken SMILE user whose body is transformed into a large rooster, although his head is at the chicken's rear end. After being slashed by Kaido's attack, Kiku loses her left arm, her helmet shatters and her sword breaks in two. Dogstorm orders his subordinates to evacuate the rooftop to avoid the slash attacks. Izou bandages Kiku's arm and Kin'emon cauterizes the wound with his flaming sword to stop it from bleeding. Fully treated, Kiku returns to battle. Kaido says that that is how samurai should behave and states that he likes them, similar to how Roger and Whitebeard did too. He changes back into his human form and says that stating that death brings completion to a human. He asks if the samurai are ready to finish the fight but Kin'emon retorts that dying at his hand would bring no honor to any of them.

As the Ice Oni virus spreads throughout the live floor, Omasa considers killing himself to prevent himself from becoming an oni, but Hyougoro dissuades him, reminding him of how the Udon prisoners were cured of the Mummy virus by the Straw Hats. As Queen spreads Ice Oni, he gives Apoo the only known antidote, threatening to kill him if he loses it. and starts a game for it where everyone chase after Apoo to claim the antidote or everyone infected dies within an hour. Dogstorm and Cat Viper revert to their base forms after being knocked back by Kaido. Yamato reveals to Momonosuke and Shinobu that he was at Oden's execution and was inspired by Shinobu's speech as well as Oden's life. The Armored Corps fires at them again with Yamato taking the hit while also revealing that he rushed to Kuri Castle to save Momonosuke but couldn't do anything to help him. He knocks out one of Sasaki's men and formally introduces himself to Momonosuke and Shinobu.

Marco battles with Big Mom, with his blue phoenix flames clashing with Prometheus' flames. Although Marco defeats Prometheus, Big Mom picks him up and Perospero prepares to shoot him with a candy arrow. Apoo is chased by Zoro and Drake, who attack him viciously for the antibody sample. Queen watches from above, recognizing two of the Straw Hats as Roronoa Zoro and Sanji, son of Vinsmoke Judge. Brook is bitten by an oni, but due to having no skin, blood or warmth he is unaffected, however, Chopper becomes infected with the Ice Oni. Ulti and Page One continue to chase Nami and Usopp down the halls. They separate, and Ulti chases Nami into a bathhouse. She overpowers Nami and strikes her to the ground with a headbutt. Usopp attempts to intervene with his Pop Greens but with Page One's help Ulti defeats Usopp. With this, Nami surrenders, and Ulti pressures her to admit that Kaido will become the King of the Pirates instead of Luffy. Nami recalls when she first met Luffy in Orange Town. Later, Luffy stood up against her oppressor, Arlong, and liberated her village.

At the Performance Floor Chopper then announces to everyone that he figured out how the virus works: Ice Oni is fused with a gas that chills the body, so everyone needs to use fire to stop the chilling. He declares he will make enough antibodies for everyone, friend and foe alike. Queen sees this and prepares to blast Chopper and Apoo for failing to hold on to the antidote. His gatling gun, however, is destroyed by Zoro, who angrily tells Queen he didn't come all the way to the island to waste time on his stupid game, but to cut down Kaido. Suddenly a earthquake strikes Onigashima as Marco enters the Performance Floor and finds Zoro. Outside, Yamato, Momonosuke and Shinobu start to evacuate, but the tremors abruptly stop. Yamato discovers that the Beast Pirates' ship has disappeared from the port, leaving behind a lilac fog. He explains that dragons can fly by creating Flame Clouds and using them as footholds to move through the air. Kaido, who uses his Devil Fruit powers conjures Flame Clouds from the rooftop, is now using the clouds to lift up the entire island of Onigashima out of the ocean into the air to move it to the Flower Capital as Kaido declares that the Kouzuki Clan are finished, that Wano will become "New Onigashima" and the world of violence has begun.

With Chopper, discovering that fire can be used against the Ice Oni virus, Marco uses his phoenix flames to slowdown the Ice Oni's spread on its victims, making them regain their senses temporarily, though he warns everyone the flame will disappear when their stamina runs out. When Chopper leaves with Miyagi and Tristan to work on the antidote, Queen attempts to turn the Beast Pirates against the Straw Hats, claiming that Chopper does not intend to heal everyone with the antidote.

Yamato takes Momonosuke and Shinobu to a storage room to hide and Momonosuke asks about the broken dragon statue. Yamato explains that the statue once decorated the front of the island, but it was left abandoned in the storehouse after it was damaged by her friend who came to Wano to kill Kaido several years ago, Ace.

Yamato treats Shinobu and tells Momonosuke how Ace came to Onigashima to rescue the abducted children and take Kaido's head. However, he was confronted by Yamato who revealed that the Beast Pirates went on an expedition and that he is Kaido's son. As the Spade Pirates take the children back to their parents, Ace stays behind to battle Yamato and learns the reason why he cannot leave the island. However, Ace tells him otherwise which causes Yamato to destroy the dragon statue at the gate and Ace punches the statue to take responsibility. They then share a bottle of sake and Ace tells Yamato about the up-and-coming pirates that's appearing but tells him that his brother will be the greatest. Momonosuke is surprised that another pirate appeared to help Wano and that Kaido is Yamato's father. He also learns from Yamato that Ace died two years ago. Elsewhere, Tama reveals her history with Ace to Nami and how ungently Luffy told her he had died. Nami apologizes and reveals to Tama how Ace's death was painful for Luffy as well. Yamato tells Momonosuke that he was waiting for Luffy, who has inherited Ace's will.

The samurai defend Chopper as he makes the antidote and Marco restores more Ice Oni victims. Queen order the Beasts Pirates, who are reluctant at first, to attack Marco to no avail. Marco tells Robin and Brook to head to the castle before he transforms into his phoenix form and flies Zoro to the roof Zoro to the roof while thinking back Ace. When he was apart of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace tried to convice the crew to help free the Land of Wano. Due to the Wano's isolation, the crew only learned of Oden's death several years after it happened and though they thought about making a move on Wano, they decided against it out of fear of lose of innocent life that would come from a war against the Beast Pirates, while Whitebeard forbade Ace from facing Kaido on his own. Meanwhile, Tama learns that Luffy and Ace are brothers and regrets for what she said to Luffy earlier but is reassured by Nami and Usopp. Momonosuke is also surprised to learn that Ace was both Roger's son and Luffy's brother, while Yamato feel that it must have been fate that Momonosuke chose Luffy to help him. Marco holds King and Queen (who's revealed to have a gun planted in his mouth and a mechanical elongated neck) back while he throws Zoro up to the roof. The Musketeers and Guardians defend the entrance to the roof until Luffy arrives and heads up after defeating a group of the Beast Pirates. After having Zeus and Prometheus regain their strength, Big Mom tells Kaido not to kill Robin as they need her as Big Mom no longer wants to wait for Pudding's power to awaken and they argue when she asks about the Road Ponegliff. She reminds Kaido of his life debt of her giving him the mythical Fish-Fish Fruit^[18] the same day Rocks fell. However, Kaido brushes her off and says that they can talk about it all they want once they find the One Piece.

Yamato shows Momonosuke his father's journal and tells him how she found it. He reveals that Whitebeard, Roger, and Oden predicted that the next generation of pirates would advance to the New World. He also thought Ace would lead the charge until his death, as he recalled Ace telling him about Luffy and his dream. Yamato tells Ace that another person that knew Oden had the same exact dream (unbeknownst to Ace was Roger). He then made Ace's Vivre Card and gave it to him, telling him that they will meet again through it. However, during the Summit War, Ace was killed in Marineford. As he died, Yamato could only watch as Ace's Vivre Card disintegrated before his eyes. While overcome with grief, Yamato remembered when Ace told him that his brother, Luffy, would rise as a powerful pirate. Yamato resolved to wait for Luffy to come to save the country from Kaido. In the present, Yamato gives Oden's journal to Momonosuke and explains how Oden predicted the next group of pirates would defeat Kaido in his stead. Kid, Killer, Law and Zoro reach the rooftop to confront Kaido and Big Mom, with Luffy soon joining them. Luffy notices something and starts walking toward the two as Kaido tells Big Mom what Luffy told him previously. Big Mom also adds how he talked back at her and how he destroyed her castle, so she wants an apology. To their surprise though, Luffy ignores them and walks past them to check on the Akazaya Nine and Kin'emon asks Luffy to save Wano, who agrees citing that it is the land of his friends. An annoyed Kaido proceeds to raise his club to strike Luffy, who asks Law to move everyone away with his Devil Fruit powers, which he does so. Luffy then jumps high into the air dodging Kaido's strike and remembering all the people who made the rebellion possible, Luffy creates a Ryuo-imbued combination of the Elephant Gun and Red Hawk; the Gum-Gum Red Roc and strikes Kaido down, shocking Big Mom. He then introduces himself to the as the one who will surpass the two of them and become the King of the Pirates.

Kaido attacks Luffy, who barely dodges and is pleased, especially after seeing the shadows of those who were capable of fighting him behind Luffy. Big Mom attempts to attack Luffy with Prometheus but Zoro cuts it in half using Foxfire Style while Kaido attempts to attack a distracted Luffy. In the Pleasure Hall, Sanji is kept bound by Black Maria but is too charmed by the women to attempt to escape. Eventually, he decides to free himself by burning the webs with Diable Jambe flames, then uses the webs to fight off the ladies. However, he can't find himself to attack Black Maria, and Maria starts interrogating him about his crew's whereabouts, especially Robin. Law rescues Luffy . before he, Luffy and Kid begin bickering just as Prometheus shoots fireballs at them. Luffy suggests a contest where the last to dodge the fireball would win. Since they were focused on winning this contest, they all ended up being hit by the fireballs. Big Mom fires fireballs at the three captains who refused to dodge due to Luffy's game. Zoro reveals to Killer that he's aware the latter was Kamazo while Killer states his believe that he would have won their fight if he had his Punishers (a pair of gauntlets equipped with rotating sickle blades). The two combatants attack Kaido, to no effect, as Luffy, Law, and Kid get back up and prepare to attack. Luffy transforms into his Fourth Gear Bounceman, Kid gathers metallic objects to form Punk Rotten, a gigantic skull-faced demon-like golem made of scrap and Law creates a large Room and uses it to ride on rocks. They prepare for battle as Kaido excitedly calls them "monsters."

Kaido prepares a counterattack, but Luffy strikes Kaido's stomach with Kong Gun, Kid crushes him with his fists using Punk Vise, and Law pummels him with rocks using Tact. Still, they continue to bicker over whose attack was stronger. He turns back into his dragon form and Big Mom joins him, revealing they intend to take everything from the Worst Generation declaring the winner of the battle will be one step closer to becoming King of the Pirates. Kaido attacks with Demolition Gust (the same move that severed Kikunojo's arm) but everyone dodges it with Luffy, Kid, and Law counterattacking and injuring him. Killer then unleashs a barrage of sonic slashes on Kaido but is struck down by a lightning bolt by Big Mom. Kaido admits the Worst Generation is vexing, but before he can chomp on Killer, Luffy strikes him with dropkick Kaido in the face. Kaido prepares to breath fire, but Zoro tells Law to move him into the air, which he does reluctantly. Zoro cuts through the fire to protect Luffy while having Law move him higher to prepare for a powerful attack. Big Mom warns Kaidou to dodge because the sword Zoro was using is no ordinary sword. Unfortunately, Zoro's attack misses only grazing Kaido's cheek and ends up cutting off one of the horns of the Skull Dome. While Kaido wonders why he senses Oden's presence in the sword, Big Mom unleshes a plethora of sentient, direction-changing lightning onto the young pirate but is surprised when doesn't affect Luffy, who exclaims that he's rubber. Kaido fires another Blast Breath at him, but to Kaido's equal surprise, Luffy came out unscathed as well, claiming that it was his guts that protected him before hitting Kaido with a Kong Gatling.

Luffy continues to hit Kaido with Kong Gatling and knock him into the roof with everybody in the Skull Dome noticing the vibrations, astounding Big Mom and the Worst Generation. Luffy attempts to land one more hit, but Fourth Gear wears off and he collapses. Big Mom tries attacks him until Zoro rescues him. Law hits Big Mom with Counter Shock while Kid and Killer charge at Kaido, who gets back up and uses his Drago Twister to create several tornados to blow everyone away and eats Luffy. Zoro uses his own Dragon Twister to free Luffy and cut through Kaido's scales. Kaido finally deduces that Zoro was using Oden's sword, as the pain and strange Haki felt similar. He decides to challenge Zoro using Dragon Twister Demolition Gust, which everyone tries to dodge. The fierce battle on the rooftop is heard from the live floor. CP0 agents who have entered the party, sitting away from the conflict, using a go board to depict the battle status, using black pieces to represent the Beast Pirates and white for the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. The battle stared with 30,000 Beast Pirates against 5,400 Alliance members, with numbers of both sides decreasing with the Beast Pirate now with 27,000 men against the Alliance's 5,000 remaining members. They lament that their supplier, Orochi, was killed, but note that this battle was inevitable since Luffy took down Doflamingo. They predict with certainty that the Beast Pirates will triumph, but nevertheless encourages battle hoping that the pirates will destroy each other. On the rooftop, Kaido then changes into his Human-Beast Form, (which is obscured) which surprises the Worst Generation, and tells Big Mom that this battle has started to get fun, which she agrees with.

On Onigashima, Speed starts distributing kibi dangos to the Gifters saying they're medicine created by Queen, apparently granting added strength. When Briscola eats a dango and questions its genuinity, Speed discreetly threatens him with the idea of having him tell Queen something he allegolly made was a failure, leading Briscola to suddenly reports to having a surge in energy, encouraging the other Gifters to eat the dumplings. Hours before Tama entered Onigashima, she asked Speed to take her to the island so she could assist the raid. Speed agreed immediately to take her, along with a tamed Daifugo and Gazelleman. On the ship, Tama created several kibi dangos to tame the Gifters on Onigashima despite tiring herself out, determined to help in the fight against Kaido in any way. Back to the present, after uniting with Nami's group, Gazelleman and Daifugo forcefully feed the kibi dangos to the Gifters in the corridors while Usopp shoots a dango into Hamlet's mouth, taming him. At the Performance Floor, while protecting Chopper, Hyogoro gets infected by a samaurai when Marco's flame wears off. Franky continues to battle Sasaki gaining upper hand until the Beast Pirates restrain him and prevent him from moving. Just then, Nami, Usopp, and Tama arrive with several Gifters and they subdue the Armored Corps. Page One and Ulti, who caught up to the Straw Hats, tell Sasaki that the Gifters and Headliners have turned on them, which the siblings deduce that it's the work of a Devil Fruit. Ulti tries to attack them but Nami incapacitates her with a lightning bolt, though Nami state that she needs something even more powerful to beat Ulti. Usopp uses his sniping skills to launch dumplings into the mouths of the Armored Corp, turning them over to their side. This allows an opening for Franky to cut a confused Sasaki with Greneral Franky's sword, Franken.

On the Performance Floor, Marco battles King as Chopper continues to try to make an antidote for the Ice Onis. Hyougoro, who was infected, decides to fight as much as he can as he suddenly transforms into a younger version of himself. Before she goes to pursue the wounded samurai, Black Maria carries out her plan. She tortures Sanji into calling for Robin's help by punching him with brass knuckles. Sanji calls out for help at the top of his lungs, and the Marys announce the message throughout the Performance Floor. His message is heard throughout the castle with some of them thinking his call for help is pathetic. Jinbe deduces that the Beast Pirates are after Robin for her knowledge and Franky mocks Sanji for his whining when he also deduces that Robin is being set up to be captured. Marco admits that the Straw Hats are fun and Nami is not surprised that Sanji was calling for help if his opponent is a woman. Usopp points to a cat with a paper with an eye on it over its face and wonders what they are for. Black Maria prepares to deliver one final blow to finish Sanji, but Robin sprouts a giant arm, striking Black Maria.

Robin strikes down Black Maria as Brook frees Sanji by freezing and shattering the webs. As Robin faces Black Maria, she thanks Sanji for relying on her as he escapes. Bao Huang announces Yamato's location to the Performance Floor. Yamato locates and strikes down the mouse with a paper with an eye on it over its face. Yamato explains that it is a cyborg, known as a Mary, that serves as Kaido's surveillance unit by broadcasting their findings to human Marys. Now that Yamato's location has been revealed, enemy Beast Pirates approach the storehouse. With Momonosuke hiding in his robe, Yamato battles the pirates to escape. Carrot becomes furious after Wanda was defeated by Perospero. She charges Perospero, melting his candy and breaking through his candy armour. However, before she can deliver the final blow clouds block the moon, she loses her Sulong form. Upon hearing Bao Huang broadcast, is unsure to help either Kin'emon's groups or Momonosuke, so he decides to go down a random path, hoping to meet with some of the allies. After defeating and taunting Carrot, Perospero leaves to join the others in battle. On the roof, Kaido reveals his hybrid form to the Worst Generation. One minute remains before Luffy can use Haki again, so he sleeps to get rest. Killer attempts to cut Kaido, but his body is now too hard for him to cut. Killer is struck away by Kaido's club. As Black Maria was unavailable, Jack, having been bandaged and his tusk reattached, decides to go to the treasure repository to kill the samurai. Bao Huang reports that somehow, the Akazaya Nine's injuries have been bandaged. Now that Jack is taking care of the samurai, Black Maria now focuses on battling Robin, as she removes her robe to reveal a tattoo reading "女難" ("Girl Trouble") while wielding a large weapon with a Wanyūdō at the end. She tells Robin that at the end of the battle, she will belong to Kaido, but Robin tells her that she would rather die.

On the live floor of Skull Dome, Chopper works on the antidote but starts to run out of stamina. Still, he pushes through, using the last of his strength. Hyougoro also decides to use the last of his strength, battling the enemy Beast Pirates. However, he instructs his men to kill him once the transformation is complete. As he takes on the Mimawarigumi, he regrets not battling with Oden against Kaido while in his prime. However, he is pleased that the alliance now has a powerful asset, Luffy. On the rooftop, Kaido sends more slashes at his enemies in his Human-Beast Form and Big Mom makes Zeus unleash more lightning bolts. Luffy, having rested enough, is able to use Haki again and is ready to reenter the battle. Queen fires a laser beam from his mouth at Marco, but he avoids it before engaging both King and Queen managing to best both of them, sending King flying into a house and Queen into a wall. Although both survive and emerge from the rubble, this buys Chopper some extra time. However, Perospero, who enters from the stairs, spots him exhausted. Chopper manages to develop a cure for the virus. Before he administers the antidote to other people, he decides to test it on himself to guarantee its safety, noting the antidote creates a high fever meant to combat the virus. Hyougoro defeats both the Orochi Oniwabanshu and the Mimawarigumi, but he begins to transform into an Ice Oni. He orders his men to kill him so he would not endanger his allies. Leaving the battle to his subordinates, he states that he has no regrets.

After taking the antidote, Chopper is cured, and the ice crumbles off his skin. Marco struggles against King and Queen, who attack him from two angles. He is sent crashing into a wall. Meanwhile, Yatappe and Tsunagoro hesitate to kill Hyougoro and Omasa, reluctant to kill their comrades. The Waiters and Pleasures beg Queen to save them. Queen turns into his brachiosaurus form and berates them, calling them useless to the crew since they have no special abilities. He tells them that they should simply succumb to the virus. He also tries to turn the pirates against Chopper, claiming that he cured himself and escaped. Delighted, he prepares to administer the cure to the people. Just before Yatappe could behead Hyougoro, Chopper kicks the sword away. He sprays the antidote sample into Hyougoro's mouth, curing him as well. Then, Miyagi and Tristan load and fire a cannon. The cannonball, named the "Chopperphage", releases a pink mist into the Performance Floor, curing all those who inhale it. Chopper confronts a furious Queen for his abhorrent use of a virus in war. Queen fires bullets at Chopper but the Pleasures rush to his aid. Since Chopper saved them, the Pleasures decide to join his side, fighting Queen. Marco takes this opportunity to grab Queen by the neck, allowing Chopper to transform into his Monster Point form and strikes Queen, as he yells at everyone, who inwardly apologizes, that he isn't a raccoon. On the rooftop, Luffy rejoins the battle against Kaido. Meanwhile, in the treasure repository, the Akazaya Nine wake up to find their wounds bandaged. They open the door to find, to their surpise, Oden greeting them.

In the Right Brain Tower, Yamato and Shinobu defend Momonosuke from enemy Beast Pirates, but Momonosuke becomes frustrated by his inability to fend for himself. He accidentally transforms into a pink dragon, shocking Yamato. Momonosuke thinks back to when he was in Punk Hazard, he broke into a restricted area and ate a fruit, not knowing it was Vegapunk's Artifical Devil Fruit. Yamato comments that his ability is very similar to Kaido's. In the room CP0 are in, agent talks about when the Punk Hazard scientists, led by Vegapunk, created the fruit by extracting Kaido's Lineage Factor when he was once captured by the Navy. However, the experiment was deemed a failure and the fruit was left abandoned in the laboratory following its closure. In the treasure repository, the Akazaya Nine are happy to see Oden, assuming that he must have escaped the boiling pot and survived. Oden claims to have been saved by Toki's power and offers to lead them once again. However, Ashura and Raizo become suspicious and the latter reminding Kin'emon that Toki told them that it is impossible to return to the past. Ashura slices Oden's face, but he does not bleed. Furthermore, Oden stabs Ashura with his sword, confirming he is an impostor. It is revealed he is a drawing made by Kanjuro. Kanjuro states that he was fatally wounded by Kikunojo and would not survive the battle, but he plans to kill Momonosuke in his final moments. While in the hallways, Momonosuke returns to normal and somehow reveals that Luffy is worn out but still in high spirits. On the Skull Dome's roof, as the Worst Generation are being pushed back by Kaido and Big Mom, they decide to split them up in order to beat them.

The Akazaya Nine fight off the Kanjuro-controlled Oden, but Oden reveals and lights an explosive vest. To save the others, Ashura tackles Oden, crashing through a window before the vest detonates, killing them both. The Akazaya Nine begin to grieve his death. Kanjuro runs through the halls, still looking for Momonosuke, and states that he intends to kill the young lord then die himself, finally ending his life-long play. Meanwhile, in another room, a somehow still-living and vengeful Orochi knocks over a barrel of oil and sets it aflame, setting the castle on fire. The remaining Akazaya run through the hallways but quickly run into Jack, surrounded by fallen Mink warriors. Dogstorm break away from the group to battle Jack while the others advance to rescue Momonosuke. Meanwhile, Queen gets up to battle Chopper, but Marco rushes to his aid, battling Queen together. Although some Beast Pirates attempt to put the fires out, Orochi cuts them down before he's joined by Fukurokuju, planning to burn down Onigashima as revenge against Kaido. On the rooftop, as the Worst Generation try to figure out a way to separate the two emperors, with saying Law can't transport them downstairs because their Haki is too strong. Kaido and Big Mom decide to use a joint attack to try and wipe them out and they launch Conquest of the Sea, unleashing an extremely powerful shockwave. The Worst Generation members are unable to dodge the attack, but Zoro blocks the attack, protecting the others from the attack but leaving himself gravely injured. Luffy attempts to retaliate but Kaido evades the attack, preparing to attack him further.

Orochi and Fukurokuju continue to set fire to the castle, as they prepare to go to the explosive storage. The remaining Akazaya Nine run through the hallways, worried about the fire, when they run into Orochi. The samurai tell Orochi that he's inconsequential to them. Fukurokuju offers to battle them, but Orochi insists on battling them himself, transforming into his Yamato no Orochi form (though it only now have seven heads). Despite this, the Akazaya Nine cut off Orochi's heads effortlessly, with Kin'emon cutting down his main head. When Orochi collapses, the Akazaya depart with Raizo staying behind to deal with Fukurokuju. Meanwhile, Kaido and Big Mom continue to battle the Worst Generation on the rooftop, with Kaidou battling Luffy and Big Mom battling the others. Still, Luffy struggles to hurt Kaido and Big Mom wreaks havoc on the Worst Generation. As the Akazaya members hear the battle raging on the roof, Kin'emon assures his faith in Luffy. On the rooftop, the Worst Generation are getting overwhelmed, with Kaido saying he'll take everything from them but Luffy reaffirms that they'll he'll never let Kaido take what's theirs. The pirates re-engage, with Luffy fighting hard against Kaido, only to get hit by a powerful blow from the Emperor. The rest of the Worst Generation tries a strategy to take Big Mom down by immobilizing her homies. Law traps Zeus into a metal box created by Kid, Zoro slices Prometheus into several pieces, and Killer distracts Napoleon by attacking him. With all her homies unable to aid her, Kid attaches some scrap to Big Mom to levitate her into the air while Law launches a boulder at her sending her to the edge of the island, as Zoro cuts off the cliff edge, causing her to start falling into the sea.

Big Mom falls into the ocean below and starts to drown, but her homies are unable to go rescue her. With Luffy left unconscious from Kaido's attack, Kaido aids the homies by attacking Zoro. Law uses his powers to swap places with Zoro and strike at Kaido, but knocked back. This allows Prometheus and Napoleon to escape, while Zeus is still trapped in the box. Prometheus and Napoleon dive into the sea, rescue Big Mom and carry her back to Onigashima. Kid and Killer break off from the group to deal with Big Mom. On the way back to the floating island, Big Mom thanks Prometheus and Napoleon for rescuing her, but gets angry at Zeus for not coming to her aid. Prometheus, no longer wanting to share his power with Zeus, suggests that Big Mom abandons him and creates a new homie to be his girlfriend, which she agrees to. While they rise to the island, the Heart Pirates watch her from the Polar Tang, angry that she survived. Kaido prepares to finish off an unconscious Luffy, but Zoro prepares to use the last of his strength to take him down. Zoro, using Nine Sword Style, slashes Kaido's chest leaving a greavous wound. Seeing his wound, Kaido questions Zoro if he has Conqueror's Haki. Zoro doesn't know what he is talking about as he falls down, saying that he had hoped that attack would have brought Kaido down to the ground. Kaido, however, tells Zoro that his attack will definitely leave a scar. Kaido then retaliates and when Law tries to aid Zoro, he gets struck down as well. Kaido considers it a pity that they didn't decide to work for him, but Luffy, having regain consciousness, stands firm on their choice to ally with the samurai, and once again swears to defeat Kaido.

Luffy's declaration angers Kaido. At the same time, Big Mom takes out a fragment of her soul and gives it to the thundercloud above, creating a new homie to replace Zeus. As her first technique, this new homie fires a powerful lightning bolt at Kid and Killer, hitting them at near point-blank range and shaking the entire island. Meanwhile, Nami, Tama, and Usopp attempt to return to the Performance Floor on Komachiyo while Page One chases them. Page One transforms into his Human-Beast Form and leaps onto Komachiyo's back, but Komachiyo begins to speed up, running into a wall at full speed and ramming Page One into it. Kid and Killer emerge from the rubble somewhere inside the castle. Big Mom is on the floor directly below them, still in pursuit of Kid. Suddenly, they are attacked by Hawkins, and Kid becomes enraged that Hawkins abandoned Kid in favour of Kaido. Killer convinces Kid to advance towards Big Mom while he stays behind to battles Hawkins, who transforms into a scarecrow-like figure. Back on the roof, Luffy admits all the attacks he used on Kaido were shallow, but after being struck with his kanabō, Luffy realized the truth behind Kaido's strength: Kaido can infuse objects with Conqueror's Haki. Kaido laughs in confirmation as he charges at Luffy, revealing that only a select few powerful individuals can pull it off as he brings his club down on Luffy. Rembering Hyogoro's lessons and the defeats he'd experienced in the past, Luffy infuses Conqueror's Haki into his limbs and blocks the attack with his foot without even touching it. With this, Luffy strikes Kaido's stomach without touching him, then unleashes a powerful uppercut knocking Kaido over. As Law is left in disbelief that Luffy did damage without actually touching Kaido, Luffy thanks both him and Zoro for covering him, but tells them to go back downstairs, declaring that he can handle the rest and he will beat Kaido no matter what.

Meanwhile, Uta stands on a cliff, staring out into the ocean and thinking about her childhood. 12 years ago in Windmill Village, a seven year-old Luffy constantly wishes for a life of freedom all the while refusing his grandfather, Garp's desire for him to become a Marine. One day, the Red Hair Pirate come ashore, and Luffy meets Shanks for the first time, along with the Red Hair Pirates' musician and Shanks' nine year-old daughter, Uta.

Luffy and Uta spend their time competing with each other. After one competition, Uta reveals that she dreams of travelling around the world with Shanks, and bringing joy with her singing. When the Red Hair Pirates leave Luffy swears to Uta that he'll be strong enough to join Shank's crew. However, when the Red Hair Pirates return, Luffy is shocked to learn Uta is gone. Shanks claims Uta left the crew to become a singer, but Luffy doesn't believe him, knowing that Uta loved Shanks and that something must have happen to he. When Shanks still doesn't tell him, Luffy runs off telling Shanks he's done with him. Some time later, news of Elegia's destruction spread across the world, with a reported 100% mortality rate and Shanks being held responsible.

He sits with the Red Hair Pirates, telling Shanks that he won't ask what happened because it's his and Uta's business.

On the island, Uta prepares for the concert, stating that a new genesis is going to begin, leading to the events of One Piece Film: Red.

On Luffy's instruction, Law teleports himself and Zoro to a lower level abring Zeus as well to keep hem from reuniting with Big Mom. Meanwhile, Momonosuke's group hides in the castle ceiling. They get in touch with Kin'emon, informing him that Momonosuke is safe, giving him their location so they can reunite as Yamato gathers some sewing supplies for their next move. Elsewhere, Usopp, Nami, and Tama are still being chased by Page One, who rides on Komachiyo's back, with Usopp upset that Tama's power doesn't work on non-SMILE Zoans. Tama plans to give an order on the Performance Floor in order make all the Gifters that ate a Kibi Dongo switch sides. Usopp manages to use his Pop Greens to knock Page One off Komachiyo's back, but he still fiercely pursues them. However, Big Mom appears, and is initially hostile to Nami and Usopp. However, due to her soft spot for children under the age of ten, she enters "Mother Mode" when she sees Tama. She remembers that when she lost her memory, the people of Okobore Town took care of her, fed her and fixed her hair. However, Tama tells her since food was stolen from Bakura Town, Kaidou's subordinates, led by Holedem, set fire to the town. Several people were harmed in the fire, including Tsuru. Page One, in his spinosaurus form, continues to pursue Tama's group, and Tama reminds Big Mom that he is one of Kaido's subordinates. Angry over Okobore Town's destruction, Big Mom strikes Page One with a Conqueror's Haki-imbued punch, alerting Kid and Zeus to her location. Page One collapses on the ground in front of Ulti, defeated.

The grouped Akazaya head to Momonosuke to protect him from Kanjuro. Kikunojo states that the pain from her arm was far less than the pain of when Izo left. The Akazaya decide to split up to assist various areas of the battlefield, but Kiku remains with Kin'emon to pursue Kanjuro. Cat Viper is finally informed about Pedro's sacrifice and death, now knowing that his killer, Perospero, is present on Onigashima. To avenge Pedro, Cat Viper goes to assist Wanda and Carrot in battling Perospero. Yamato, decides to run off with a decoy of Momonosuke, diverting the Marys' attention from the real Momonosuke. In the crawl space, Momonosuke hears Luffy's voice and senses that Luffy is battling Kaidou one-on-one. On the rooftop, they are battling fiercely but neither person could hit the other. On the castle's second floor, Sanji carries a heavily-bandaged Zoro on his back, fighting off swarms of Gifters and Pleasures while the latter heals from his injuries. On the Performance Floor, Chopper battles Queen, but Perospero intervenes by firing candy arrows at Chopper, which angers Queen as he doesn't want any help. Meanwhile, Ulti decides to avenge her defeated brother by attacking Big Mom. She brutally beats Komachiyo down to the ground, and when Tama attempts to stop her, Ulti strikes her in the face. Angry that Ulti assaulted a young girl, Nami and Big Mom both decide to turn on her and fight her directly. Nami attacks Ulti with her Clima-Tact, striking her with lightning, swearing to take her down.

Sanji carries and protects Zoro as he heals, angry that he had to carry someone with a lower bounty than him. He remembers how this happened. Previously, Law teleported Zoro and the others downstairs and ran into Sanji on the way. Law instructed Sanji to take care of Zoro while his group ran off to another area. Sanji begrudgingly took Zoro to another room and bandaged his wounds. Back in the present, Sanji continues to carry Zoro down the halls when he encounters Kawamatsu and Izou. On Zoro's advice, they go to the Performance Floor. On the rooftop, Luffy and Kaidou continue to fight. They clash, destroying the floor under them, and Luffy is nearly thrown off the island. Luckily, he restabilizes himself on the island and continues the clash. Luffy declares he will restore the Kouzuki Family, free the Land of Wano and become the King of the Pirates. Back in the castle, Ulti gets back up and attacks Nami, grabbing her arm. However, Big Mom's homies, Prometheus, Napoleon and her new thndercloud homie, Hera, combine into a single weapon. They use Maser Cannon, unleashing a powerful beam piercing Ulti's abdomen, causing the Tobi Ropp collapse. Zeus watches from the corner, hurt that the other homies and Big Mom pefer Hera over him, even though she shows no respect to the other homies. Zeus then spots Nami, but she coldly ignores him, something he doesn't blame her for. Big Mom then approaches Zeus and he's eager to rejoin his master, but Big Mom coldly states that he's been replaced and is no longer needed in her crew. On the rooftop, Luffy begins to tire but refuses to back However, Kaido eventually triumphs, knocking Luffy unconscious and throwing him off the island, transformed back into his human form, Kaido regrets not taking Luffy's head, knowing his allies will still maintain their hope and belief in him.

Kaido watches as Luffy falls into the ocean, remarking that though Luffy coated himself in Conqueror's Haki, he was still sloppy and unable to wield it perfectly. He then declares that Luffy will never become Joy Boy. Inside the palace, Big Mom rejects Zeus, no longer wanting him in her crew. She instructs Hera to eat Zeus so she can gain more power from his soul. Knowing that Big Mom is trying to take his life, Zeus attempts to reconcile with Nami, apologizing for his cowardice, but Nami refuses to forgive her. So, Zeus rebels for one final time against his mother, . Big Mom effortly subdues him and removes his soul before offering him to Hera. Taking pity in Zeus, Nami tries to help him by giving him Black Balls, but both both they and Zeus are devoured by Hera. Meanwhile, on the Performance Floor, Queen and Perospero battle against and Chopper and the defected Beast Pirates, with Perospero raining down a swarm of candy arrows onto the floor striking down many combatants. An enraged then Chopper gets the upper hand by slamming Queen's body into the floor and throwing him into a wall, but Queen is unharmed while Chopper is left exhausted. On the third floor, Yamato continues to run through the halls with his fake Momonosuke, defeating a group of Gifters who fall for his decoy. The real Momonosuke is waiting in the crawl space for backup. While he is in hiding, he reads the Oden's, which tells of his adventures as a pirate. However, Momonosuke suddenly detects another mysterious voice. Unbeknownst to him, he is watched by another Mary. Having located him, Bao Huang reports Momonosuke's location to Kaido, who decides to personally pursue him. Hera receives a surge in energy from eating Zeus, and Nami's group decides to leave. As Tama also fled with them, Big Mom loses her compassion for her. Big Mom attacks them, but Kid appears and confronts her.

As Momonosuke continues to react to the mysterious voice, Shinobu begins to panic, allowing Kin'emon and Kikunojo to find them. Meanwhile, on the Performance Floor, Chopper continues to protect everyone from Perospero's arrows. As he does so, he thinks back to a conversation he had with Caesar Clown, where the scientist offered to improve the duration of Chopper's Rumble Ball from three minutes to thirty. Chopper was initially oppose to it, due the side effects that would come with it, but agreed when Ceasar pointed out that he'll be facing stronger foes. Back in the present, with less ten minutes left in transformation Chopper charges at back into battle, but is overpowered by Queen. Suddenly, Bao Huang announces the end of the duel between Luffy and Kaido, declaring Kaido as the winner. Across the island, various allies and enemies react to the news, and Bao Huang announces that Kaido will re-enter the castle and begin cleaning up the remaining pirates and samurais. She offers the attackers the option to surrender and join the Beast Pirates, though nobody accepts. Meanwhile, Kanjuro arrives to Momonosuke's hiding spot As he enters disguised as Oden, both Momonosuke and Shinobu fall for his deception, but Kin'emon and Kikunojo see through it, holding the other two back. Kikunojo prepares to fight to avenge Ashura, but she is stopped by her memories of Oden which Kanjuro takes advantage of and stabs her, making her fall to the ground. With Kikunojo out of the fight, Kin'emon and Kanjuro prepare to duel. Kanjuro creates a stage for the fight, and Kin'emon angrily charges at him, cutting the actor down. The two think back on their time together, and Kanjuro declares that he needed to lose Kin'emon, his best friend on the stage, before falling to the ground, defeated. With the fight over, Kin'emon returns to Momonosuke and Shinobu, but Kaido suddenly appears before them, smashing through the ceiling. Kin'emon prepares to fight the Emperor as Shinobu and Momonosuke escape, and he is crushed by Kaido's kanabō while Momonosuke watches helplessly.

As Luffy sinks into the ocean, Chopper continues to battle Queen, but is demotivated from his captain's defeat. Across Onigashima, various samurai and allies react to Bao Huang's announcement, with some reacting like Chopper and some refusing to believe it. Meanwhile, Onigashima approaches the Land of Wano, finally reaching the mainland. As the samurai begin to give up in their fight, the Nine Red Scabbards continue to fight, stating they won't stop until they defeat Kaidou. Izou points out how they can't confirm Luffy's death, and Kawamatsu remarks that even the possibility destroyed morale. However, Sanji refuses to even consider that Luffy lost, getting angry at the samurai for thinking that they might have lost. Back on the Performance Floor, Queen has gotten the upper hand against Chopper, as Perospero continues to bombard the samurai with arrows. They encourage everybody to give up fighting, as Queen is about to bite Chopper wit retractable needle-like fangs; however, he's stopped by Sanji whose kick is hard enough to send Queen's head spinning, causing him to intercept all of Perospero's arrows as well as send Perospero himself flying. He congratulates Chopper for holding off Queen enough for him to arrive, and tells him to continue trusting in Luffy, before handing him Zoro and telling to take care of the injured swordsman. Sanji resolves to fight Queen, and the samurai look on in awe, noting how he doesn't give up despite his captain having been defeated. Meanwhile, above the first floor, Kaidou easily defeats Kin'emon. Despite his injuries, Kin'emon continues to stand up and stab Kaido with his broken sword, allowing Shinobu and Momonosuke time to run. As he struggles, Kin'emon thinks back to when they were sent to the present day. He thinks back to when he and Momonosuke pretended to be father and son, and encourages him to continue living. However, he is stabbed by Kaido, collapsing to the floor. As Momonosuke runs with Shinobu, he also thinks back to his time with Kin'emon. He resolves himself to tell the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance members that Luffy isn't dead, and speaks into one of the Marys, announcing it across the island. He declares that Luffy is speaking to him, and encourages the allies to continue fighting until Luffy returns to the island.

As Luffy sinks into the sea, Momonosuke uses a Mary to inform everybody located on Onigashima of his survival, and to declare that Luffy will defeat Kaido. The people located on the Performance Floor begin to cheer, and are reinvigorated in their fights. However, Momonosuke and Shinobu are still being followed by Kaidou, and are forced to flee, being thrown outside the Skull Dome. However, before Kaido can crush them, Shinobu is able to destroy the floor using her abilities, and the pair fall into the ocean. Bao Huang and horse Gifter, Horseman decide to announce their fall, hoping to demoralize the remaining samurai. Meanwhile, Nami, Usopp, and Tama continue heading towards the Performance Floor, hoping to allow Tama to take control of all the SMILE users who have eaten her dango. As they talk, Nami's Clima-Tact responds, shocking the trio. Elsewhere, Kid prepares to battle Big Mom, when Law suddenly arrives. He offers to form a temporary alliance with Kid to defeat Big Mom. Meanwhile, in the Flower Capital, the residents of Wano celebrate the Fire Festival. Tenguyama Hitetsu and Toko walk through the town together, and he explains the festival to her. Toko wonders if her father is watching them, and Hitetsu responds that he's sure he is. Back in Onigashima, the CP0 present assess the ongoing battle. They notice how nobody surrendered even after Luffy's supposed defeat, and count 5,000 soldiers who can no longer fight. With the Pleasures and Gifters present on the Performance Floor switching sides, the Beasts Pirates now have 20,000 combatants, and the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance have 7,000.Back with Nami, Usopp, and Tama, the group is trying to identify why Nami's Clima-Tact can suddenly speak it responds that it's actually Zeus. He reveals that when Nami tried save him from Hera, his conciseness was pressed into her Clima-Tact. Nami tries to shake him out of the Baton, but he points out that he can't leave without Big Mom's power, so she gives up and continues running. The trio finally arrive at the Performance Floor, exiting a door directly behind Bao Huang. As she's about to announce Momonosuke's fall from Onigashima, she is alerted to their presence, which distracts Usopp and allows Ulti to attack him from behind. She grabs Tama, angry that she's been able to make Beasts Pirates members switch sides, and prepares to attack her; however, she's attacked by Nami and Zeus, who can now extend and transform the Clima-Tact. Usopp is able to attack Ulti from behind, separating her and Tama, which allows Nami to prepare a lightning strike without fear of hurting Tama. Meanwhile, the Heart Pirates hear a voice underwater, finding Luffy sinking and they hurry to save him. At the same time, Yamato reaches the roof, seeing Kaido at the edge of the island and announcing that he's cutting ties.

The Heart Pirates find a sinking Luffy, bringing him to the surface on their submarine. They begin trying to treat him, forcing the water he's swallowed out of his stomach. Meanwhile, as Shinobu and Momonosuke fall from Onigashima, Shinobu uses a kite, and the pair glide to the Wano mainland. However, when they land, Momonosuke bursts into tears, worried over the Kin'emon and Kiku. Back on Onigashima, Ulti is terrorizing Tama when she's suddenly attacked by Nami. Zeus offers to send a lightning blast, but Nami argues that it would hurt Tama; however, Usopp is able to separate her, and Nami takes the opportunity to make a cloud, but Zeus becomes the cloud. Nami then launches a Lightning Blast at Ulti who tries to dodge the strike, but Zeus redirects himself to hit her, knocking the Tobi Roppo unconscious. Panicking, Bao Huang accidentally announces Ulti's and Page One's defeats over the Marys system, causing panic across the Beast Pirates. Taking advantage of her panicking, Usopp incapacitates Horseman and Bao Huang, informing Tama that the latter works as a transmitter. As the allies across the island are overwhelmed with numbers, Tama speaks into the transmitter, converting the Gifters tamed by her power into allies. Elsewhere, Yamato informs Kaido of his decision to cut their familiar ties. Kaido tries to persuade him otherwise, stating that he defeated both Luffy and Momonosuke, but Yamato refuses to change his mind. Yamato declares his intention to set out to sea, stating that he will force Kaido to leave Wano; however, Kaido refuses to allow him to be a pirate elsewhere, stating he must stay in Wano as he transfoms into his Human-Beast Form. The two clash, with Yamato intending on forcing Kaido to remain on the rooftop until Luffy returns.

Across Onigashima, the Gifters who have eaten Tama's dango begin to switch sides, attacking former allies. A Mary reports the mass-betrayal to CP0 as the combat devolves even further into chaos. The Beasts Pirates react in angry confusion, while the Alliance members welcome the change. Nami, Tama, and Usopp celebrate their success, drawing attention from Queen; however, as he tries to shoot them, he is attacked by Sanji, instead shooting the inside of his mouth. Queen welcomes him as Judge's son, angering Sanji, and reveals that he and Judge were former members of the science group MADS. As he prepares to fight, Queen reveals he is a cyborg and enters his Human-Beast Form. The surrounding Beast Pirates panic at his transformation, but Sanji ignores him, confirming with Chopper that Zoro will recover. As he turns to ask, however, he notices that Chopper has entered a new transformation, the Baby Geezer, as a result of his Rumble Ball transformation. However, as they talk, Sanji is attacked by Queen, and he prepares to face off. Chopper begins explaining his new form to Tristan, and Sanji begins fighting Queen. His explanation complete, Chopper turns to helping Zoro. Miyagi informs him about a powerful instant recovery drug from Zou; however, should he take it, his pain will be doubled when the drug wears off. Chopper decides not to give Zoro the drug, but Zoro insists on receiving it, stating that he wants to return to the fight. Elsewhere, the CP0 agents calculate the traitorous Gifters, estimating 300 people switched sides. Meanwhile, Nami, Tama, and Usopp try to find a safe space to hide, having completed their mission. As they run through the halls, they are attacked by a group of Waiters; however, they're suddenly saved by Daifugo and joined by Speed and Gazelleman, who offer lifts to the group. Gazelleman also informs them that he found Komachiyo unconscious. Elsewhere, Jinbe and Who's-Who begin to fight. Among his attacks, Who's-Who incorporates the Six Powers, prompting Jinbe to remark that he's using a World Government fighting style. He brings up a story about a CP9 agent escaping from prison, and Who's-Who confirms that he's the agent as he transforms into his Human-Beast Form. As the two continue fighting, Who's-Who begins explaining his past as a Government agent who was on par with Rob Lucci, though Jinbe has trouble understanding how the story is relevant to him. However, Who's-Who explains that 13 years ago, a Devil Fruit that he was assigned to protect on a Government ship was stolen; the Gum-Gum Fruit.

As Speed carries Tama, Nami, and Usopp through Onigashima, with Gazelleman and Daifugo following close behind in order to recover Komachiyo, defending the trio along the way, Zeus asks Nami if he can become her attendant again; however, she declines, asking him to be her partner instead. Elsewhere, the present CP0 agents speculate that 2,000 soldiers switched sides due to Tama's abilities, which, after discounting 2,000 Beast Pirates due to injury, leaves the field at 16,000 vs. 9,000. However, they remark it as inconsequential to them, noting that they only need to confirm Who's-Who's death as punishment for leaving CP9. Meanwhile, Jinbe asks why Who's-Who left the World Government and became a pirate, but Who's-Who just responds that Jinbe functionally did the same thing. Who-Who's reveals his grudge agiainst Luffy comes from the latter having the Gum-Gum Fruit and his connection with Shanks (the one who stole the fruit). The two then argue over their opinions of Luffy. In the ocean, the Heart Pirates continue trying to resuscitate Luffy. Thinking back to his past with Luffy, Jinbe swears to fight as the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates. As they continue to fight, Who's-Who tells Jinbe that while he was imprisoned, he told about the "Sun God" Nika, a legendary warrior of ancient times who would supposedly free slaves. Jinbe asks how this information is relevant to him, and Who's-Who brings up the past slavery of Sun Pirates members and Fish-Men as a whole, asking Jinbe for more information about Nika while mentioning the guard who mockingly told him about Nika was eventually executed, and asks if it's dangerous to even know of his existence. He begins once again bombarding Jinbe with attacks, asking if he knows a lot about slavery due to being a Fish-Man. However, Jinbe just catches Who's-Who's arms, stating that he has nothing to tell him. Jinbe breaks Who's-Who's fingers and steps on his tail, and tells him that if he wants to investigate history then he needs to be prepared for what he'll find as he defeats Who's-Who with Fish-Man Karate Secret Art: Demon Brick Fist.

Kaido and Yamato clash on the Onigashima rooftop, as Yamato attempts to cut ties with his father. However, Kaido refuses to accept it, instead trying to convince Yamato to become the Shogun of Wano under Kaido. Yamato states that he will continue to believe in Luffy, and that he will stall Kaido until he returns. He transforms into his Human-Beast Form, vowing to protect Wano. On the Performance Floor, Queen continues to attack Sanji, bragging about his powers as a cyborg, firing lasers from the mecanical claws on the end of his left arm, tail and braid. However, Sanjishows no real intrest in them angering Queen. As Sanji continues to dodge the lasers, Zoro convinces Chopper and Miyagi to give him the miracle drug. Elsewhere, Gifters under Tama's influence begin assisting Franky, driving off the Beast Pirates who were surrounding him. As Franky and Sasaki fight, the two realize that they're both very durable, so Sasaki transforms into his Human-Beast Form. Back on the roof, Kaido continues trying to convince Yamato to stay by his side while expessing anger Yamato for eating his Devil Fruit. Yamato responds that he only ate it because he was starving and is also mad since he can no longer swim. Back in the Right Brain Tower, Sasaki draws his Trick Mechanism Screw Sword as Franky draws his sword. Franky instructs the surrounding Gifters to go help others, but Sasaki suddenly begins spinning his frill like a propeller, and begins to fly, charging forward and sending the Gifters flying. Franky is forced on the defensive, preparing the General Shield in anticipation of Sasaki's next charge. However, Sasaki accidentally spins his frills the wrong direction, throwing himself backwards instead. He follows up with a charge forward, successfully blowing one of the thrusters on the General Franky's shoulder. However, Franky managed to grab Sasaki, suplexing him into the ground. In the ocean, the Heart Pirates continue trying to wake up Luffy. He finally regains consciousness, and begins demanding meat.

Yamato and Kaido continue to duel on the rooftop, with Yamato officially refusing Kaidou's offer to become Shogun. Meanwhile, Franky points out Sasaki's stomach cut despite his toughness, attempting to slash his stomach again. However, Sasaki avoids it, and the two begin a swordfight, leading to the Fraken being shattered and half of General Fanky's left shoulder being sliced off.

But But Franky is ejects from the robot and defeatsthe Tobi Roppo by firing a Franky Radical Beam at the Sasaki's stomach. Back on the rooftop, Kaidou laments Yamato having eaten the Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Type Model: Okuchi no Makami,^[21] as the Okuchi No Makami is concidered as the "Guardian Deity of the Land of Wano" and asks once again for Yamato to become Shogun under him. Yamato refuses once again, and begins shooting ice at Kaidou, though the latter counters the ice shots with a blast of fire. Inside Onigashima, Brook and Robin walk through fog, with Nico Olvia suddenly appearing before them. Saul and Clover quickly follow suit, gesturing towards Robin. She reminisces her time with the three of them, remembering their deaths. However, she realizes soon enough that they're simply mere illusions, knocking away Black Maria's minions, including Numbers member, Kunyun, who were embodying these illusions. Remembering the words of both her mother and Luffy, Robin declares that she has friend and has decided to live.

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 bablaze. Robin to grab onto the ceiling and lift the two Straw Hats off the floor. Brook realizes that Wanyudo is a living being, sending his soul through him and freezing him, before Brook extinguishes th flames by covering the ground in ice. Black Maria tries to state that Sanji sold out Robin, hence the reason he called for help, but Robin ignores her. Brook leaves Black Maria to Robin, promising to defeat her underlings instead. Once Brook leaves, Robin argues with Black Maria's description of Sanji, and begins fighting back in earnest. Robin creates a giant version of herself, grabbing Black Maria with multiple extra sets of giant hands. However, Black Maria begins slicing at the arms, causing injuries to form on Robin herself. Noticing Robin receive the injuries, Black Maria launches multiple tendrils of thread, blocking the movement of Robin's enlarged limbs. Back on mainland, as Momonosuke and Shinobu watch as Onigashima flies more inland, they're reunited with the Heart Pirates and Luffy, the latter loudly shouting for meat, having already quickly ate through all the Heart Pirates' provisions, while still asking for more. The Heart Pirates, Momonosuke and Shinobu explain the respective situation to each other. As Momonosuke begins cry, Luffy yells at him to stop, stating he'll be the next Shogun. He then begins yelling for meat again, as Caribou arrives, offering meat to the Heart Pirates. Meanwhile, Luffy asks Momonosuke to transform into a dragon and fly him back up to Onigashima.

Black Maria traps Robin's enlarged form in her web, and starts to sadistically beat Robin with her brass knuckles. Eventually, Robin cancels her technique, recreating her giant arms behind Black Maria. However, Black Maria is able to block the attack, burning the webs she used and surrounding Robin in the process. Black Maria begins swiping at Robin, forcing her to evade, until she ends up caught in one of Black Maria's webs. Black Maria states that she's only getting payback for Robin punching her earlier, and she hits Robin again, throwing her into another set of webs. As she continues to beat Robin, she berates her, stating that she's only useful as somebody who can read the Poneglyphs. Black Maria's insults remind Robin of her childhood and time on the run, and Brook advises Black Maria to run before it's too late as he creates an ice wall to prevent Black Maria's underlings from interfering. As Robin continues to think back, she remembers a training session with the Revolutionary Army, during which she learned a new palm-thrust technique that applies Fish-Man Karate techniques. She creates another giant arm and thrust the ceiling above her and crashing debris above Black Maria, putting out the fire in the process. Free from the webs, Robin creates another giant body, this one in the shape of a demon, Demonio Flur. She generates more arms, trapping Black Maria in a grappling hold and knocks her unconscious with Grand Jacuzzi Clutch. Hearing Black Maria's scream, her Gifters and Kunyun try to see through Brook's ice wall. They realize the Black Maria has lost, and while in a panic, are swiftly defeated by Brook. Brook then walks over to Robin and catches her when she passes out from exhaustion as a Mary is shown to have observed the fight. Back on the Wano mainland, Luffy eats the food provided by Caribou. As he eats, he reassures the Heart Pirates that their captain is alive, and Momonosuke tries to convince Shinobu to use her powers to turn him into an adult so he can transform into a full-grown dragon. Even though Shinobu warns him the process can't be undone, Momonosuke, is undeterred, saying if they don't, all of Wano will be destroyed.

A Mary reports Black Maria defeat to CP0. Raizo enters battle against Fukurokuju but Fukurokuju uses his long earlobes as whips, knocking him to the ground, with Fukurokuju mocks Raizo's emotion saying they're unfitting for a ninja. However, Raizo retorts that those emotions are what make him and his comrades who they are claiming they'll succeed in making Momonosuke the shogun and ending Kaido and Orochi's cruel reign. On Wano's mainland Shinobu turns Momonosuke into an adult and weeps at his appearance. Killer's fight with Hawkins continues, and though Killer manages to slash him, Hawkins' Straw-Straw Fruit ability allows him to redirect the damage onto other people, leaving himself unharmed. When Killer stabs Hawkins, he instead injures Kid, hurting his battle with Big Mom. Hawkins reverts to his normal form and reveals to Killer that he has Kid's Strawman doll in his body, making Killer realizes that he can't harm Hawkins without first killing his own captain. On the Performance Floor, Sanji is left to battle against both King and Queen while Zoro continues to heal, waiting for the drug to take effect, while Marco appears to have reached his limit. Perospero attempts to sabotage Sanji by shooting him with his candy bow, but Cat Viper appears and strikes him out of the castle. King and Queen get the upper hand and strike Sanji down. While Queen brutally punishes the defected Gifters, King decides to pursue and attack Zoro while he is incapacitated. Although Chopper's group attempts to take Zoro away, King stops them, with the drug having yet to take effect.

King intercepts Chopper's group which is carrying Zoro. Sanji sees this and tries to defend against King but is shot by Queen's laser. Marco manages to block King's attack and the two square off. Marco talks of a race that could ignite themselves and once lived on top of the Red Line and says that he didn't expect to meet one in King. King and Queen are prepared to fight Marco, but he surrenders seeing that Zoro has recovered from his injuries, thanks to the drug given to him by Miyagi. Zoro deflects Queen's attack. He and Sanji then proceed to attack the two Lead Performers. Zoro and Sanji then both say that winng this battle will give them a glimpse of Luffy becoming the King of the Pirates Hyogoro advises the other samurai not to interfere in the fight as Kawamatsu arrives at the Performance Floor. Marco spaces out as he watches the fight. He recalls his conversation with Whitebeard about how Mary Geoise used to be the Land of Gods. He is then saved by Izou when some Beast Pirates shoot at Marco while he is in a daze. During their fight, Sanji notices something different in his body from when he put on his Raid Suit a while back. Queen notices this, too, and (despite Sanji's refutes) claims that Sanji must also be a cyborg like Judge's other children since no human can ignite themselves as he's not a Lunarian. Zoro attempts to attack King but he blocks it with a sword that has several notches in it, which Zoro's swords get caught in, allowing King to simply toss them away and leaving Zoro open to be punched by a retractable-spiked glove. Zoro uses the sword in his mouth to block it as he calls King a bloodthirsty brute. King retorts that he never understood why anyone would stick to traditional forms and techniques in a real battle, which Zoro accepts, admitting King never claimed to be a swordsman himself. Nevertheless, Zoro reclaims his swords and tells King he can't afford to lose to him. As the four continue to battle, Hyougoro and Kawamatsu notice Zoro's similarities with the former Daimyo of Ringo, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, who was a decendant of the God of the Blade, Shimotsuki Ryuma―from the way he stands, his one eye, down to his swordplay. They feel that the fact that he returned Shusui to Wano was fate. Meanwhile in Tokage Port, Luffy regains his strength and looks for Momonosuke. Shinobu responds to Luffy as two giant eyes appear behind the shadows.

As the castle is slowly being engulfed by fire, many Beast Pirates quickly move towards the Performance Floor where Sanji, Zoro, King and Queen are fighting, Hyougoro and Kawamatsu preventing them from interfering with the fight. Meanwhile, after beating Sasaki, as Franky fends off some Beast Pirates, he runs out of energy so Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi step in. On the second floor of the castle, Nami, Usopp, and Tama are riding on Speed's back, with Zeus following close by. They are running away from Beast Pirates and while trying to get away Usopp to fall off Speed's back. On the same floor, Law and Kid are battling with Big Mom. Her Conqueror's Haki causes a large number of Beast Pirates to lose consciousness, which saves Usopp from their attacks. Usopp bluffs about causing the surge of Haki and urges the remaining conscious Beast Pirates to join him. On the third floor, Brook is carrying an unconscious Robin inside the burning floor while the fourth floor, Jinbe and Heat are also fighting Beast Pirates. Meanwhile, at the rooftop, Yamato barely manages to keep Kaido preoccupied while waiting for Luffy to return. In the Treasure Repository, Dogstorm and Jack are still engaged in battle, with Jack now in his centaur-like Human-Beast Form. Jack seems to have the upper hand since Dogstorm can't use his Sulong form indoors. However, using his convictions, he gets a surge of energy to tosses Jack though a wall into a portion of the castle where the roof was blown off, (the room where Ashura sacrificed himself). Now with the moon visible, Dogstorm transforms into his Sulong form. Outside, as Shishilian and Bariete tend to Carrot and Wanda, Cat Viper faces Perospero, vowing to avenge Pedro's death, transforms into a Sulong as well. On the second floor, Fukurokuju mocks the Akazaya Nine fools for serving a child but Raizo angrily tells him that Momonosuke still has time to grow, with Wano serving to shape that. In Tokage Port, Caribou and the other Heart Pirates see a large pink dragon and are frightened as it resembles Kaido. Luffy approaches the dragon, knowing that it is actually Momonosuke. Shinobu reveals that she used her Ripe-Ripe abilities to age him to 28 years old, at the young shogun's request. Luffy then tells Momonosuke that it's time for them to take Wano back.

Luffy rides on Momonusuke's back and they start flying towards Kaidou. However, being afraid of heights and having realized that they have been flying, Momonosuke comes crashing down. Meanwhile, as he continues his fight with Kaido Yamato remembers the first time he saw Oden and how the latter's sacrifice to save his retainers touched him as a young child. This caused the young Yamato to rampage around the castle. Yamato was subdued after knocking out several Beast Pirates with Conqueror's Haki. When Yamato declared his love for Oden and declared himself to be Oden, Kaido chained him and locked him up inside the Sacrad Cave with three damiyos who rebelled against Kaido, telling them that they would be locked up for a month, but would be let ou earlier if they changed their mind and joined his army. Yamato feared the samurai would kill him for being Kaido's child, but instead they showed hi nothing but kindness. They gave him the little food they were given, released him from his chains, and trained him. When Yamato saw that the samurai did not intend to harm him, he asked them to help him read Oden's journal which he had found at the foot of Oden Castle. The four read the journal together, learning of the era Oden predicted. After 10 days, the samurai resolved to escape from the cave after seeing that Kaido had no plans on releasing his own son. They also had no intention of rotting away inside the cave and while they would not be able to see the battle that would happen in 20 years, they were reassured knowing that people like Yamato would still be there to fight for Wano. Back in the present, Yamato and Kaidou are still exchanging blows, with Yamato remembering that there were people who believed in him and accepted him. He demands to know why his father is taking away his freedom and the freedom of Wano. Kaido answers that life is not a series of simple questions and answers as their advance Conqueror's Haki clash.

Luffy urges Momonosuke to fly and grows impatient, but the young master is crippled by his fear of heights. Meanwhile, Yamato keeps Kaido busy and the two continue to exchange blows. Yamato manages to make Kaido bleed and is able to defend against Kaido’s attacks coating himself in a layer of ice, declaring that he cannot die until Luffy comes back. Kaido mocks Yamato’s resolve to protect Wano since Yamato is still his son so the people of Wano would never look at him as an ally while further laughing at how Yamato doesn’t even have any friends. Yamato disagrees as he remembers Ace who became his friend when the latter came to Wano. However, he also remembers when he was a child and one of Kaido’s men helped him by giving him food when he was starving and a blanket when it was cold but was executed when Kaido found out about it. Kaido points out that all of those who have been good to Yamato are all dead, including the samurai who were locked up with him in the Sacred Cave. Yamato rebuffs him, saying that they all died because he killed him, to which Kaido replies that they were getting in the way of him educating his child. Back in Tokage Port, Luffy pulls on Momonosuke’s dragon whiskers to force him to fly. Ultimately, Momonosuke takes flight towards Onigashima, albeit, with closed eyes due to fear. Flying blindly, Momonosuke crashes into the Skull Dome and flies through the castle, destroying walls and ceilings as he runs wild, confonding all who see him. He finally opens his eyes and finds his way to the rooftop where they see Kaido and Yamato, both back in their human forms. Yamato prepares his Divine Swiftness White Serpent technique and Luffy joins him in Fourth Gear: Snakeman, launching a Jet Culverin. The two attacks at the same time which sends Kaido flying across the rooftop.

After sending Kaido flying across the rooftop, Luffy thanks Yamato for holding back Kaidou and Yamato expresses his relief that Luffy has finally arrived. Kaido then emerges in his dragon form, unscathed. He is in disbelief that Luffy survived his previous injuries. He notices the pink dragon before him and demands to know who he is. Although frightened at first, Momonosuke answers that he is Kouzuki Momonosuke, the one who will become the Shogun of Wano. Meanwhile, the people in the Flower Capital are oblivious to the events on Onigashima. Toko and Hitetsu join the festivities, with Toko remembering her farther, Yasuie while Hitetsu worries for Tama's safety. A Mary reports updates on the rooftop to all of Onigashima, with the Starw Hats relief at their captian's return. Elsewhere, Dogstorm and Cat Viper seem to be winning their fights against Jack and Perospero, respectively. However, clouds slowly obstruct the full moon, causing the minks to loss their Sulong form. Deprived of their Sulong form and drained of their energy, the minks are overwhelmed by their opponents, as Jack and Perospero prepare to stike down their opponents, with the latter turnig his cane into a candy ax. On the rooftop, Kaido is about to breathe fire on Momonosuke, so Luffy urges the pink dragon to do the same. However, Momonosuke doubts he can produce such an attack so Luffy instead, tells him to bite the emperor. Momonosuke is horrified by this suggestion. Kaido blasts him with successive Blast Breaths which Momonosuke barely manages to evade. Momonosuke remembers what he and his family went through in the hands of Kaido so he musters up the courage to sink his teeth onto the blue dragon. An angered Kaido is about to blast another attack when Luffy punches him in the face, preventing Kaidou from breathing fire. Luffy shouts his praises for Momonosuke which is heard all throughout Onigashima. Luffy tells Momonosuke that he just bit an Emperor of the Sea so there should be nothing left in the world that can scare him. Momonosuke realizes what he just did and concurs.

Luffy's proud declaration from the Skull Dome rooftop inspires the remaining fighters of the alliance to continue fighting. With this, Zoro and Sanji increase their efforts, beginning to overpower King and Queen. However, Kaido reemerges from the rubble after being bitten. Transform back into his Human-Beast Form, Kaido asks Luffy if he honestly thinks has a chace at defeating him with Luffy replying that as long as he's still alive, he has infinite chances. As Luffy and Kaido clash once again, their Conqueror's Haki creates a powerful explosion that breaks apart the clouds above and revealing the night sky. As Yamato watches in awe at Luffy and Kaido's clash, he remembers Oden writing about how Roger and Whitebeard's clash split the heavens as well. Upon Luffy's instruction, Momonosuke and Yamato then leap off the edge of the island, aiming to stop Onigashima from moving while Luffy prevents Kaido from stopping them. Though Momonosuke intially struggles, Yamato's encouragment allows him to generate flame cloud and run across the sky. The explosion created by Luffy and Kaido, which revealed the full moon, allows Dogstrom and Cat Viper to transform back into their Sulong forms. Using Oden One Sword Style with their respective claws and sword leg, Cat Viper and Dogstorm defeat Perospero and Jack respectively. Jack's defeat is observed by Orochi, who is still alive and hiding, and horrified that an Lead Performer has been defeated before remembering he is no longer Kaido's ally. On the rooftop, Luffy and Kaido resume their battle, with Kaido warning Luffy that in he loses everyone in the Land of Wano will become his slave.

Momonosuke and Yamato fly away from the island to try to move it back. They find out that Kaido's flame clouds are becoming unstable due to Kaido weakening and the island risks collapsing and crashing into the Flower Capital below, with all the explosives stored inside Onigashima threating to destroy the capital if the island falls. Momonosuke panics and considers getting Luffy to stop fighting Kaido, but Yamato smacks him on the head and reminds him that Luffy is already putting everything on his shoulders with his fight, and he doesn't need anymore pressure, meaning the two of them need to figure out how to stop the island themselves. Momonosuke attempts to push the island, but to no avail. Yamamoto advises him that he will have to create flame clouds of his own to support the island. On the Performance Floor, Sanji's battle with Queen continues and Zoro's battle with King. Sanji is hit with a strong attack from Queen, but is surprised that none of his bones are broken. Zoro sends a flying slash that slices off a spike from King's outfit. As this was the first time that King's mask was compromised, he quickly grows infuriated and transforms back into his Human-Beast Form, sending flying slashes into the battle. Several fighters are hit by the slashes, with one slash hits Queen's behind while Zoro is sent flying into a hallway with King following. Meanwhile, as they battle inside the Peformance Floor, Queen begs Sanji to put on his Raid Suit, but Sanji refuses stating again he despises the Vinsmokes as his body starts to feel weird again. In the hallway, Zoro clashes with King but is overpowered, though he manages to slice off another piece of King's mask, revealing part of his scalp. King's attacks send Zoro flying off the island but Zoro manages to get back onto the island. As King reverts to his human form, Zoro tell him he won't forgive him for trying to kill him without a sword with King saying he won't forgive Zoro either.

Momonosuke attempts to make Flame Clouds in order to move Onigashima, but he struggles to create them as the clouds immediately disintegrate. Yamato decides to leave him and go back into the island to secure explosives; as explosives are stored on the island, if the island crashes into the Flower Capital the destruction will be amplified by the explosives. To prevent this, Yamato climbs back onto the island. Rob Lucci contacts the lead CP0 agent^[22] and the other members of CP0 on the island, who are planning their moves and inform Lucci of the second pink dragon that allied with Luffy. Lucci informs the agents that if the alliance wins the battle and Kaido falls, the World Government plans to seize the Land of Wano to make it a member state and that reinforcements are on the way. The agents then say the Beast Pirates numbers have been reduced to 12,000 while the alliance is now has 8,000 members. Lucci also informs them of another target of interest: Nico Robin. Meanwhile, on the third floor, Brook and a now conscious Robin continue to evade Beast Pirates trying to capture Robin. As Momonosuke continues to struggle making flame clouds, Yamato makes it up to the island and transforms into his divine wolf beast form and runs inside. As he runs past the Heart Pirates who've also arrived, Yamato maintains believe that Momonosuke will succeed. Sanji still refuses to use the Raid Suit as his battle with Queen intensifies as he uses Diable Jambe against Queen. Queen transforms into his brachiosaurus form before using his Brachiosnakeus: he detaches his head, neck and tail from his body making him resemble a snake. He then captures Sanji and constricts him, breaking his bones and crushing him as Armament Haki can't protect someone insides. Queen then activates the voice activated missle launcher equipped to his torso. However, Queen accidentally fires missiles at himself, freeing Sanji from his grasp. Strangely, Sanji gets up and finds that he was unharmed by Queen's attack. Although his bones are broken and dented, he is able to pound his body back into place. Queen, back in his Human-Beast Form, attempts to behead Sanji, only for the blade to shatter against Sanji's neck and cause him only minor pain. Sanji, to his horror, realizes that he may have genetic enhancements just like his siblings.

Killer continues his battle against Hawkins, but the battle is not in his favour. With to his Devil Fruit abilities, total immunity from Killer's attacks, with the damage inflicted being redirected to Kid, Hawkins begins to mock Killer upon learning he ate a defective SMILE Fruit. Members of the Kid Pirates arrive to Killer's aid, but he forbids them from attacking Hawkins, telling them the situation. As Killer refuses to fight back, Hawkins decides to harm Kid himself. As he fights Big Mom, Kid head starts to feel severe pain, proving especially disadvantageous to and Law, who struggles to fight and protect Kid. Kid's pain is cause Hawkins by repeatedly slamming his head into a pillar, redirecting the pain to Kid. Desperate, Killer offers his life in exchange for Kid's, but Hawkins refuses further claiming that all of Killer's suffering was caused by Kid's refusal to submit to Kaido before offer Killer to join the Beast Pirates if he surrenders. Killer refuses, calling Hawkins out for his own regret for not standing up to Kaido befroe declaring that Kid will become the King of the Pirates. This angers Hawkins, causing him to ruthlessly beat Killer. Killer gets back up and asks Hawkins what will happen if he takes damage that has nowhere to go. Then with a single attack, Killer slices off Hawkins' left arm. As Hawkins writhes in pain, questioning why the attck worked, Killer reminds him Kid already lost his left arm, meaning the damage had nowhere to be transferred to. Killer pulls the straw doll out of Hawkins' severed arm and destroys it, undoing the damage dealt to Kid's body. Hawkins no longer has any people left to redirect damage to and is now completely vulnerable to attacks. In a last-ditch effort, Hawkins uses his Strawman Cards. He reveals the "Death" card upright, summoning a giant straw monster, but Killer decapitates the monster, instantly destroying it. Hawkins draws a second card, only to find to his horror that he drew the "Tower" card. With this, Killer slices Hawkins with Spin & Sonic, defeating him and causing him to collapse. The narrator explains the "Tower" card is assigned two meanings: the death of the old and a new path. Sure enough, once Hawkins falls, Kid says he feels better now as Killer cheers him on.

After Queen's blade shatters upon contact with Sanji's neck, Sanji realizes that he may have scientific enhancements just like his siblings. As he starts to run away in a panic, Sanji theorizes that putting on the Raid Suit is what causing him to change Even when his enemies shoot him with firearms, he survives uninjured. Still, he denies his abilities due to contempt of his old family. Drake continues his battle against combatant Beast Pirates when he is confronted by Apoo who suggests that as both side would be heavyly injured after the battles over, they should form of an alliance to defeat the weakened victor. On Apoo's side are three Numbers: Inbi, the centaur-like Fuga and Zanki. Drake is uninterested by this offer, untrusting of Apoo. Nami, Usopp, Tama, her tamed Gifters and an injured Komachiyo try to escape the fire, but they come face-to-face with Kin'emon's lower body. His lower body can communicate though farts, but cannot hear others because his ears are on his other half. Nami traces the reverse crescent on his rear, allowing him to identify her as an ally and asks for aid. Usopp and Hamlet takes Kin'emon's leg and head to his location. On the third floor, Brook continues to escort Robin away, but are surronded by Beast Pirates, who attempts to capture Robin, but Mink combatants come to her support. Unfortunately, they're confronted by the members of CP0, who're also after Robin. As Kin'emon upper body remains in the attic, he thinks that his survival from his defeat at Kaido's hands was due to his body not being reattached properly after it been bifurcated by Law, while he hopes that aid will come soon for Kiku. Kanjuro reveals to have also survived his defeat and is in contact with Orochi. On Orochi's order, Kanjuro decides to give a "final performance" using his Devil Fruit ability. To symbolize the burning hatred of the Kurozumi Clan, he draws and creates a large ghost-like entity wreathed in flames, Kazenbo. The monster passes through walls and sets everything it touches on fire. Shortly after creating the monster, Kanjuro collapses, finally succumbing to his injuries. The Marys announce that the Skull Dome is now on fire. As Orochi eagerly anticipates his enemies to burn, Sanji continues his battle against Queen, Zoro battles fiercely against King outside, and Luffy and Kaido continue their combat on the roof of the Skull Dome.

As Momonosuke attempts to create the flame clouds needed to stop Onigashima, Yamato runs to the armory to secure the explosives. Meanwhile, Law and Kid continue their battle against Big Mom, but their attacks are futile because of her homies. They both reveal to each other their "trump card": their awakened Devil Fruit powers. While they both admit that their awakened powers greatly drain their stamina, but Kid points out that they can't win if they don't go all out, before telling Law to follow his lead. Elsewhere, on Orochi's command, Kazenbo also heads towards the armory to ignite the explosives to destroy the island, while Orochi waits to escape with Fukurokuju's (who is still fighting Raizo) aid. Kid creates Punk Rotten to combat Big Mom, but she overpowers him and hit Kid with Ikoku, blasting him into the Performance Hall just as Yamato arrives. When Big Mom prepares to finish off Kid, Law seizes the opportunity and use his awakened powers. Law creates a miniature ROOM (K ROOM) and coats his sword with it before phasing it into Big Mom's neck, and unleashes Shock Wille, striking her with an electrical shock that also knocks out her homies. Kid follows up with his awakened powers, he makes Big Mom magnetic, causing metalic objects, including Napoleon, to fly towards her. Then, he use Punk Clash causing even the castle's pillars to be pulled in, causing them both buy and crush her under a mountain of metal. Although Big Mom was finally damaged for the first time in the battle, she survived the entire attack, now enraged. Using Soul Pocus, she steals the lifespans of the nearby Beast Pirates, using the souls to revive Napoleon, Phometeus and Hera, while also creating new homies. Then, she consumes an entire year's worth of her own lifespan in order to increase her size and power. Yamato, who carry on his mission, decides to take a detour through the Cave Chamber. Big Mom admits to Kid and Law that it has been decades since she last felt such pain, and like Luffy, they are serious about dethroning her. She then dares them to continue fighting, as she will show them what it means to be an emperor. Law confirms saying he wants to learn the true history, and Kid says that no matter the costs, he plans on taking her down.

Apoo tries to convince Drake to team up against Kaido after the emperor defeats Luffy, stating Kaido has never been so weakened before. However, Drake rejects his offer and attacks Apoo instead. The skirmish is interrupted by Yamato who is in a hurry to go to the armory and stop Onigashima from exploding, with Fuga (who seems to be on friendly terms with Yamato) chasing after him, Apoo (who now want Yamato to ally with him) chasing after both of them and Drake chasing after Apoo. Elsewhere, CP0 agents have come to take Nico Robin. However, the Minks attack the agents as a distraction, allowing Brook and Robin to escape. Meanwhile, Sanji is fleeing from his fight against Queen after he noticed that his body had started mutating. As he fears of turning into a cold-blooded Germa soldier like his brothers, he fails to notice a lady calling to him for help and he only regains his senses when he sees the said lady on the floor bleeding and looking at him in terror. He rushes to help her, but she begs him not to come closer. The woman, Some, rushes to a nearby room where other geishas have been hiding. Sanji again offers to help Some, but the other women chastise him for hurting a defenseless woman, before driving him outside their hiding place where he finds Queen who had been looking for him. Shaken by the thought of possibly striking a woman, Sanji comes to the realization that his mutation was brought about by his use of his Raid Suit. He wonders if Luffy would rather have an unreliable crewmate who is helpless against women or a cruel and heartless warrior who is able to bring anybody's head when he's ordered. He ponders what the future King of Pirates needs and decides to destroy his Raid Suit. Using a Transponder Snail that he slip on him, Sanji calls Zoro, who is in the middle of his fight against King. Unsure if his mutation will change him for good, he asks the swordsman, once the battle is won, to kill him if he ever loses his humanity. Zoro gladly accepts and tells Sanji not to die before then. Shortly after, Sanji turns seemingly invisible and hits Queen with his Hell Memories attack.

An angered Big Mom promises to inflict unspeakable pain towards Law and Kid. She sics her homies on the two which they barely fend off, while at the same time Izo has Marco carry him to the inner castle Meanwhile, Kazenbo is wreaking havoc and burning everything on its path, causing both samurai and Beast Pirates all flee in a panic. Elsewhere, Brook and Robin are on the run with the CP0 hot on their tail, jumping down to a lower floor. Yamato is still charging his way towards the armory, with Apoo and Fuga following him and Drake chasing Apoo. When Robin and Brook land in Fuga's hair CP0 tries to follow them but they're engulfed by Kazenbo as it falls from the ceiling. Not wasting time Yamato tells Fuga as he heads to the armory. In the Treasure Repository, Orochi listens with excitement to the chaos brought about by Kazenbo, which was created to exact vengeance in the name of the Kurozami Clan. Suddenly, he hears a shamisen playing nearby. He is drawn to the sound which reminds him of his beloved Komurasaki. Outside, a determined Momonosuke is frantically creating flame clouds to prevent Onigashima from crashing down onto the Flower Capital. Zoro and King are still in battle. In his pteranodon form, King grabs his crest and pulls his head back, which also pulls back his beak before letting go of his crest causing his head flings forward at extreme speed in a attack Zoro deems to be unblockable. He notices the flames on King's back, and wonders out loud if this is an ability from his Devil Fruit. King hears this and answers that it is not a feature of the Pteranodon. Zoro attacks with Black Rope Dragon Twister but King easily overcomes this. Zoro is at a loss at how durable King is, noting that it must be because of his dinosaur Devil Fruit. King, turning bick into his human form, agrees but hints that it might also be because he is also a little unique. Zoro concludes that King's durability, wings, and flames are a feature of a tribe that is unknown to him. Zoro is knocked down and exhausted. All of a sudden, Zoro hears the sound of a shamisen which causes Enma to start draining his Haki and emaciate his arm. Inside, Orochi crawls towards the shamisen player and sees Komurasaki alive and well. He cries out in tears while she greets him with a smile.

Kazenbo continues to make its way down to the Armory as the he Beast Pirates and samurai try in vain to stop its descent. Realizing that the flame spectre is moving through walls and that it will be reaching the Armory soon, Yamato urgently moves faster, enlisting the help of Fuga. Atop Fuga’s head are Brook and Robin. Knowing that the CP0 are just behind the flames, they hop off and quickly put distance between them and the agents. The CP0, still in pursuit, are stopped when Apoo take their pictures to sell the photos to Morgans of the World Economy News Paper. One them of agents attacks Apoo before attacking Drake as well. Drake suggests that they team up to take down the CP0 agents and Apoo gladly accepts. Meanwhile, as Onigashima is inching closer towards the Flower Capital Momonosuke coutinues try to prevent the floating island from crashing, determined not to betray the promise he made to his friends and keep everyone safe. Inside, Hiyori (under her Komurasaki persona) plays her shamisen while Orochi watches tearfully. The sound of the shamisen causes Enma to drain Zoro’s Haki. Seeing Zoro trying to stop Enma from fully draining him, King mocks how Zoro is having a falling out with his “friend.” The two continue their clash, with King mockingly allows Zoro to stab him, only to cause a fiery explosion that leaves King unharmed. Elsewhere, Sanji continues fighting Queen, who expresses disappointment in not being able to see Sanji use his Raid Suit. Queen proceeds to provoke Sanji, calling him mentally weak for asking Zoro for emotional support. He tells Sanji that Zoro isn’t any better and that he will not be able to defeat King since King is a Lunarian, a thought to race extinct race that could survive in any natural environment ane were once revered as gods. Sanji brushes this off, asking how “gods” managed to become extinct. Zoro is at a loss at how to defeat King. He attacks using his Death Lion Song, an attack he deems to be stronger than his previous attacks. However, this does not cause any damage to King. Zoro hears the shamisen and once again, Enma drains his Haki. At the same time, King attacks Zoro and lands a hit on him causeing him to let go of his swords. King notes that this is the first time he has ever seen a swordsman being held back by his own swords. Zoro falls and tries to retrieve his blades. He recalls the day he obtained Sandai Kitetsu, the cursed sword forged by Tenguyama Hitetsu. King attacks Zoro in midair which sends him crashing onto the side of the floating island. There, he finds Wado Ichimonji, the sword of Kuina, his childhood friend. In a flashback, Hitetsu explains that Enma and Wado Ichimonji were forged by the same person, the legendary swordsmith, Shimotsuki Kouzaburou. This is why Enma fits comfortably in Zoro’s hand. These memories make Zoro question how a sword from the Land of Wano ended up in a remote region in the East Blue.

Zoro struggles against King as Emma constanyly drains his Haki. When he's thrown back inside, Zoro recalls how he learned of the battle cry, "Sunacchi" and how Momonosuke was prohibited from uttering such cry. He also recalls Hitetsu explaining that his two swords, Wado Ichimonji and Enma were both forged by the legendary swordsmith, Shimotsuki Kozuburo. Zoro then remembers how 13 years ago in his home village, a old man who was rumored to have been a samurai told the phrase "Sunacchi". The old man latter explained Zoro to that every sword had a personality and that it was a swordsman's job to tame them and that a “cursed sword” is a fine sword that was simply called as such because the weak feared it. The old man recalled the greatest sword that he forged that he dubbed "the great king of hell." Remembering all these, Zoro realizes that the aforementioned sword―the great king of hell―was none other than Enma. Outside, Momonosuke accidentally grasps Kaido's flame clouds and realizes that since he is also a dragon, he can also control and manipulate the cloud and proceeds to try and divert Onigashima’s path. Inside the castle, the CP0 agents begin to overpower Drake and Apoo when Inbi and Zanki arrive. Meanwhile, Zoro remembers that he learned that the old was Kuina's grandfather after his death and that his village was founded by a pirate. It wasn't a coincidence that the village was named Shimotsuki. Hitetsu mentioned that Shimotsuki Kouzaburou, had left Wano more than fifty years ago. Zoro deduces that the old man and Kouzaburou are one and the same. He remembers Kouzaburou explaining that it is the sword that chooses its wielder. With that, Zoro understood that Enma chose him and was simply testing him. Zoro then recalls the night he and Kuina made their promise to become the world's strongest swordsman, her death and him taking her blade to keep their promise. Back to the present, as a group of Beast Pirates arrive to attack him, Zoro realizes that Enma was not draining him out of malice and admits that he was simply lacking thus unable to withstand the sword unlike Oden who had been using it with ease even though the sword took away so much of his Haki. Zoro tries to figure out how to control the flow of his Haki and keep it from being depleted and ultimately causing his death. Rather than fighting the sword's effects, he decides to let Enma take his Haki instead and “conquers” it, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki and rendering the nearby Beast Pirates unconscious. King notices and asks if he was trying to be a conquer. Rembering when he first met Luffy, Zoro answers by saying that he just remembered his promise to his captain and his best friend.

Sanji continues his battle against Queen. After Sanji destroys his Raid Suit, Queen decides to continue on with the battle. This time, he demonstrates his scientific enhancements and uses techniques from Sanji's brothers to ovepower him. He reveals that he had a rivalry with Judge and his goal is to outperform Germa 66. Before he could slam Sanji into the ground, however, Sanji uses a Diable Jambe-infused kick to destroy Queen's mechanical arm. Some, the woman who Sanji accidentally attacked earlier, has her wounds bandaged and healed. However, the room where she and the other geishas were hiding are destroyed during the battle. The geishas decide to evacuate, but Some's pet mouse, Chuji, is missing, so Some stays behind to look for it. In fury, Queen uses Sanji's Stealth Black ability to turn himself invisible to catch him off guard. However, Sanji uses moves at high speed, allowing him to turn effectively invisible to Queen but physically taxing him. Queen plans to wait for him to exhaust himself, then strike him unexpectedly. Sanji perches on a wall looking for his next approach. Some follows Chuji dangerously into the battlefield, unaware of Queen's presence. Queen recognizes her; when he was searching for Sanji, he saw her and realized that her uses of sickness as an excuse to repeatedly turned him down were lies. Infuriated, he stuck her in anger while invisible when she encountered Sanji. Queen prepares to attack Some again, giving his position away to Sanji. Combining his exoskeleton with Armament Haki, Sanji coats his legs with hotter, blue flames, dubbing it as Ifrit Jambe. With added agility and greater kicking power along with the realization that Queen was the one who hurt Some he strikes Queen and follows up with a barrage of flaming kick, knocking him into the ground. Queen gets up, preparing his retaliation. Remembering his past and accepting the scientific advancements given to him by Germa 66, Sanji uses Boeuf Burst against Queen, sending a powerful flaming kick into Queen's stomach and defeating him. Queen's unconscious body is sent flying out of the Skull Dome and off Onigashima, falling into the mainland below. Emerging victorious from his battle, Sanji returns Chuji to Some then collapses from his injuries.

With his swords now infused with both Armament and Conqueror's Haki, emanating the black lightning and a green smoke-like aura, Zoro with his newly dubbed King of Hell Three Sword Style, faces off King yet again. As they clash, Zoro lands manages to make King bleed and also rips up the Lead Performer's mask. Zoro finally figures out that King’s durability and speed are directly linked to the flames on his back―that once the said flames go out, King’s speed increases, but his defense gets weaker. A couple of Beast Pirates see King without his mask and observe that he has black wings, white hair, and brown skin. They say that he is of a race so rare that the World Government awards 100,000,000 Berry to those with information about their existence. King overhears this and burns them to death. King and Zoro continue their battle outside the Skull Dome. King finally acknowledges Zoro’s strength and the danger he poses. Zoro accepts the compliment and vows to end Kaido’s and the Beasts Pirates’ reign. King rebuffs this and declares that Kaido will be the King of the Pirates. Zoro rejects this declaration and attacks. King recalls the first time he met Kaido. Years ago both Kaido and King (who back then went by Alber) were both World Government test subjects on Punk Hazard until Kaido broke them out. King agreed to join the pirate crew Kaido was forming after he guaranteed that he would change the world. After noting how strong Alber was, Kaido gave him the name "King" and promised that he would never betray him and made him his right-hand man. Back in the present, King attacks with Imperial Flaming Wings, which sends a magma-like flame dragon onto Zoro but Zoro is able to counter and cut King. As the battle continues King sends a multitude of magma-like flame dragons onto Zoro. The flames try to engulf Zoro, but he cuts them down while he makes his way towards King. Zoro attacks with King of Hell, Three Sword Serpent: 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation and King, coating himself with a flame dragon, counters with his Extra Large Imperial Flaming Wings. The clash sends a shockwave throughout Onigashima, Zoro emerge victorious. King’s sword is broken, and his right wing is ripped apart. As King’s consciousness fades as he falls to the mainland, he thinks of his captain. He had thought of Kaido as the prophesized Joy Boy. Thankful for the life Kaido gave to him, he asked his captain to remain the strongest. He also promised that he would never lose so that he can make Kaido the King of the Pirates. At the same time, Zoro, too, recalls his vow to become the world’s greatest swordsman―a vow he made to Luffy, the man who he declared will become the King of the Pirates.

As the Raid on Onigashima continues to erupt, Usopp locates Kin'emon and Kiku, and while Izou holds off the Beasts Pirates for them to escape, the battle between Raizo and Fukurokuju reaches its climax. Meanwhile, after Drake is defeated, CP0 reports on the current situation on Onigashima and how the only major forces left are Kaidou and Big Mom as the two continue their individual battles.

As Luffy continues to fight Kaidou, Kaidou uses a form of drunk fighting known as Shuron Hakke, making the battle harder for Luffy. Meanwhile, at Mary Geoise, as the Five Elders review the situation, they mention a Devil Fruit that had lay dormant for centuries: which the World Government had to rename just as Zunesha arrives at Wano Country.

As the battles inside Onigashima continue, Chopper returns to normal, Franky searches for Zoro, Izou encounters CP0 and Yamato reaches the Armory and works on defeating Kazenbo and stopping it from setting off the explosives. Meanwhile, as Law and Eustass Kid struggle against Big Mom, when she prepares to leave to assist Kaidou, determined not to allow her to interfere in Luffy's fight, the two launch a powerful counterattack, which badly injures her.

As Momonosuke continues to pull Onigashima away from the Flower Capital, he hears Zunesha's voice. Meanwhile, Big Mom recovers from Kid's last attack and launches a powerful counterattack, putting both him and Law in danger. Despite taking heavy damage and at their limit, the two rivals begin their own their last ditch effort plan to remove Big Mom from Onigashima.

Law and Kid emerge victorious against Big Mom, causing her to fall into the exposed magma chamber below. Meanwhile, Fukurokuju begins to lose his composure as a result of being set alight, and Zunesha arrives at Wano Country.

As the last part of the Raid on Onigashima begins, with the only vital battle between Luffy and Kaidou left, Momonosuke reveals to Yamato why he refuses to open Wano Country to the rest of the world. Meanwhile, Izou sacrifices himself to stop CP0 from going after Luffy as they receive new orders to eliminate the latter. As Orochi becomes trapped, he learns the truth about Komurasaki when she mentions her father, Oden. While, at the top of Onigashima, after Kaidou senses Big Mom's defeat, to defeat Kaidou, Luffy, in his final effort, resorts to using Gear 4.

Raizo outlasts Fukurokuju in the burning hallway, causing the latter to collapse from his injuries. Meanwhile, Guernica follows his order, taking down Drake before interrupting the battle on the Skull Dome.

After defeating Luffy on the Skull Dome, Kaidou viciously beats Guernica before returning to the Skull Dome to battle the remaining allied forces on the Live Floor. Meanwhile, on the Skull Dome, Luffy undergoes a sudden transformation, which Zunesha declares to be the return of Joy Boy.

Zunesha reveals to Momonosuke and Yamato that Joy Boy has returned. Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders debate angering Kaidou to stop Luffy, deciding it is worth the risk to stop the Gum-Gum Fruit, actually called the "Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika," from awakening. After his awakening, Luffy names his ability Gear 5, and confronts Kaidou once again. Meanwhile, Hiyori continues her confrontation with Orochi, and the former Shogun is lit on fire by a near-death Kazenbo.

With his newfound power, Luffy is able to overwhelm Kaidou to the point where he greatly enjoys the battle, shocking Kaidou and his allies alike with his immense power.

As Luffy and Kaidou continue their battle, Raizo and Jimbei utilize their plan to put out the fire that has spread throughout Onigashima. Meanwhile, Yamato warns Momonosuke of the danger Onigashima will face if he does not act soon to create new flame clouds to keep it from crashing into the Flower Capital.

As Momonosuke struggles to create his own flame clouds, Luffy continues to fight Kaidou. As the Samurai realize what would happen to Onigashima if Luffy won, Orochi is freed from the Seastone Nail and attempts to murder Hiyori. After hearing the voices of the people, Luffy prepares his final attack.

As Luffy and Kaidou prepare their final attack, Momonosuke is tasked with moving Onigashima out of the way of Luffy's attack. Meanwhile, Denjiro saves Hiyori by beheading Orochi one final time.

Kaidou's past is revealed; he was a former Rocks Pirate who later built his own crew which sought out to create war. In the present day, Momonosuke moves Onigashima away just as Luffy defeats Kaidou, sending him falling into the ground.

As Kaidou's unconscious body falls into a magma chamber and triggers a volcanic eruption, Onigashima lands safely near the Flower Capital. Momonosuke announces their victory to the townspeople.

Momonosuke announces to the citizens his victory and the return of the Kozuki Family. Tama remembers her childhood, and Yamato asks to join Luffy's crew.

As the Five Elders learn of Wano Country's status, a festival is held to celebrate the alliance's victory. Meanwhile, Admiral Ryokugyu heads to Wano.

Tenguyama reveals his true identity as Sukiyaki to Robin and confirms Wano's secret. The new Emperors of the Sea are declared, as Ryokugyu heads after Luffy.

The Red Hair Pirates, now at Wano, decide on going after the One Piece. The Red Scabbards attempt to stop Ryokugyu from pursuing Luffy. Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Tensei discuss the events at the Levely regarding the Revolutionary Army's interference and Sabo's alleged assassination of Nefertari Cobra.

Sukiyaki shows Robin and Law the Road Ponyglyph and tells them more about Wano Country's history, including the ancient civilization and the location of Pluton. Meanwhile, the Nine Red Scabbards and Momonosuke battle against Ryokugyu. Momonosuke successfully uses a fire-breathing attack against Ryokugyu for the first time, and with the help of Shanks forces the admiral to retreat.

As things settle back down, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi announce to Carrot their decision to have her become the new leader of the Mokomo Dukedom, while Sukiyaki reveals his true identity to his grandchildren and attendants, with the intent to passing his knowledge down to Momonosuke. A few days later, as the Straw Hat Pirates, Heart Pirates, and Kid Pirates prepare to leave Wano Country, Kid reveals to Luffy about Buggy being chosen as one of the Four Emperors and his new group the Cross Guild.

Before their departure from Wano Country, the Straw Hat Pirates say their goodbyes to their comrades. Luffy visits the ruins of Kuri Castle, where he parts with the Nine Red Scabbards and the Mink Tribe, and Tsurujo's shop, where he leaves Tama. Meanwhile, Zoro visits Yasuie and Pedro's graves, and Sanji sells the last of his soba in the Flower Capital.

The Straw Hat Pirates say their final goodbyes to Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and Yamato, formally declaring Wano Country as one of their territories. With their business concluded, they finally depart from the island, at the same time as the Heart and Kid Pirates. Meanwhile, in the Flower Capital, the story of the return of the Kozuki Family is recounted as a performance.

As the Straw Hats leave Wano, they find out their new bounties. Meanwhile, on Karai Bari Island, Mihawk and Crocodile confront Buggy for being portrayed as the clown's subordinates. However, they relent after they realize it's not the worst idea to have Buggy bear the brunt of the Marines' attention and have him become one of the new Emperors of the Sea. Thus, the Cross Guild is established with Buggy as the figurehead, and Mihawk and Crocodile as its Chief Officers.

The Marines invade Amazon Lily to arrest Boa Hancock with the aid of their new Seraphim Pacifista. However, the Blackbeard Pirates also invade Amazon Lily, where Blackbeard captures Hancock, with the intention of stealing her Devil Fruit power.

With the help of Rayleigh, Hancock and the Kuja Pirates defend Amazon Lily from both the Marines and the Blackbeard Pirates. Meanwhile, news of Cobra's assassination and Vivi's kidnapping spread to the Straw Hat Pirates, while Luffy reveals to his crew the end of his dream, even larger than becoming Pirate King.
