Summary:
25 years ago the Roger Pirates had a drunken feast on their ship. Kozuki Oden expressed his appreciation for being able to join Gol D. Roger on his journey. Silvers Rayleigh, Shanks, and Buggy offered to help him in his quest to open the borders of the land of Wano, but Oden replied that he should do it himself; he was sure that with the help of his charges he could become the shogun and achieve his goal.
Act 3 of the Wano Country Arc is currently starting. At Port Habu in Hakumai, Orochi boards a ship bound for the Fire Festival in Onigashima. He drinks a lot to celebrate. People in the capital of flowers also celebrate passionately.
Meanwhile, at the rendezvous point, Tokage Port, Momonosuke, and Scabbards find that not only are they under heavy attack, but their ships and allies are nowhere to be seen, and Kin’emon desperately tries to summon his allies to Tanishi. However, he is unable to reach any of them and his pleas quickly become desperate before Ashura Doji silences him.
They flashed back to the two days before the Fire Festival and the alliance members moved to finish preparations and head to Port Tokage. After seeing to the completion of the ship’s restoration at Port Itachi, Franky and Usopp headed to Amigasa Village to reunite with their crew, leaving the ships in the care of the Wano Musketeers and Carpenters.
At the Prison Mine, Hyogoro oversaw the inmates collecting all the weapons they could find while Cho retrieved the weapons stored in Ringo. Jibuemon talked to some allies about making sure they all moved to Port Tokage inconspicuously, and they agreed, even though Orochi and many of his officials would have already left for Onigashima.
At Amigasa Village, Hitetsu gave the Straw Hats some kabuto armor and Luffy, Chopper, and Brook were excited to put them on. Sanji asks Zoro why he doesn’t want to wear armor, to which he replies that it slows him down. He then finally taunts Zoro with his higher reward, causing Zoro to release Enma. The two argued before Nami hit them. Finally, Nami and Robin discussed with Carrot, Wanda, Shishilian, Concelot, and Giovanni about the full moon that would be present during the final battle, hoping that the Norse could use Sulong and that Nekomamushi and the Guardians would arrive in time. Meanwhile, Luffy looked towards the ocean and noticed that Jinbe hadn’t arrived yet, even though Big Mom was here. After finding out what happened to Jinbe, Zoro assured Luffy that the fish man would come if he was still alive.
However, in the town of Okobore, the citizens were confronted by Holed’, who revealed that the Paradise Farm was still being stolen despite burning down the thieves’ hideout, Mt. The citizens reasoned that the Nine Red Sheaths had probably stolen the food if the reports of their return were accurate, though they chose not to say a word about it. Tsuru then came and told Holed’em that she would lead him to eat because she wanted to help her husband Kin’emon and the Kozuki family’s plan. However, the other citizens stopped her by loudly claiming to have eaten the stolen food, shocking her and angering Holed.
Back in the present, at Tokage Harbor, as the Pochevs begin to lose hope that their allies will show up, Inuarashi finds a ship that looks intact and prepares to sail to Onigashima alone. Momonosuke says they should change the date of their meeting and Shinobu tries to stop Kin’emon and the rest of the Sheath from going to Onigashima, however Kin’emon refuses. On Onigashima, Orochi is having fun as he thinks about the incident that happened the previous day.
