Summary:
The Straw Hat Pirates visit the Flower Capital to join the expanded Fire Festival and Banquet where they participate in its activities. Momonosuke remembers Luffy’s instructions to him not to reveal his participation in the raid.
Meanwhile, Robin finds the Poneglyph in the ground where she is met by Tenguyama. Tenguyama turns out to be Kozuki Sukiyaki, Oden’s father. Sukiyaki was imprisoned by the Kurozumi family after Oden’s execution. Sukiyaki escaped many years later, but when he saw how Orochi had transformed the land, he went into hiding. In the present, Sukiyaki also confirms to Robin that the ancient Pluton weapon was indeed in the ground.
News of Big Mom and Kaidou’s defeat spread internationally, but the Elder Five attempted to censor Luffy’s wanted poster depicting him as Nika. Despite their efforts, they are unable to contact the printing companies and the uncensored image is shown to the public. Luffy, Law, and Kid’s new bounties are announced, each receiving a reward of three billion Bellies. Additionally, Luffy and Buggy are chosen to replace Big Mom and Kaido as two of the four emperors. After receiving these messages, Kid interrupts Luffy at the festival and tries to kill him.
In the former Udon Prisoner Mine, the defeated beast pirates, including the king and queen, are bandaging their wounds, but are visited by Ryokugyu. After a battle is called, both the king and queen are defeated by Ryokugyu’s Devil Fruit ability, which allows him to manipulate vines that impale and dehydrate his targets. Ryokugyu orders their arrest before heading to the Flower Capital to pursue Luffy.
