Summary:
After Sanji escapes, Bobbin decides to pursue him alone.
The Sanji Retrieval Team finds a mirror leading to Brook, but also learns that the mirror also leads to Big Mom’s bedroom. While Big Mom sleeps, the team plans to retrieve Brook and replace him with another skeleton. After three failed attempts, the team manages to get Brook back.
As Sanji rushes towards where Luffy promised to wait for him, Luffy also approaches his intended destination. However, Charlotte Counter ambushes him.
At Whole Cake Castle, a group of pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, encounter Bobbin, who is recovering from being kicked into a wall by Sanji. They express concern at the situation, but Bobbin, not wanting anyone else to get involved, just rocks his head from side to side to get them to sleep. After taking out his crewmates, Bobbin runs after Sanji to deal with the Straw Hat himself, and Sanji continues running around the castle.
In the mirror world, Chopper, Carrot, Nami, Jinbe, and Pedro ask the mirrors for information about Luffy, Sanji, and Brook’s whereabouts, but are initially unsuccessful. Then they notice a very large mirror in front and Brûlée gets excited about it. Pedro makes Diesel pull their cart faster, even though Diesel can’t move fast because of the amount of people he’s pulling. The group reaches the mirror and sees Brook on the other side, but then they are shocked to realize that he is being held by a sleeping Big Mom. They try to call Brook without waking Big Mom, but fail and Brûlée and Diesel call Big Mom, forcing Sanji’s rescue team to bind and gag them. While sleeping, Big Mom notices a fly and tries unsuccessfully to swat it. After the fly flies by again, Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon wake up and wipe it out, and the Sanji Retrieval Team is struck with fear at the amount of power they used.
The team prepares to head into the room to save Brook regardless, and Jinbe gets a skeleton from the execution room to stand in for Brook while Pedro collects seaweed from the kitchen to serve as Brook’s fake afro. After putting Brûlée in the mirror to make it a portal, Chopper first tries to go inside and replace Brook with a dummy. He almost trips but manages to right himself. Then he gets the urge to sneeze and manages to suppress it, but not for long until he sneezes. Big Mom then raises her hand to smash him, forcing him to run back into the mirror world. Carrot then walks in with the dummy and jumps up to Big Mom’s bed. However, Big Mom’s bubble extends to Brook when she exhales, so Carrot waits for her to inhale before going to Brook. She can’t wake up Brook before Big Mom’s bubble reaches her and jumps to the floor below. This partially awakens Zeus and Carrot tries to imitate the stuffed bunny. It somehow works, Zeus goes back to sleep and Carrot heads back to bed. However, he kicks a pebble into another rock and Zeus thinks the fly is back and goes into attack mode. Carrot runs back to the Mirror World as the cloud friend attacks, and Pedro decides to try it himself. He sneaks up to Big Mom’s bed and as he walks over to Brooke he notices that Big Mom is moving but just tossing and turning. He perfectly envisions saving Brook and being celebrated by his teammates, but Big Mom turns on him before he can act, forcing him to run back to Mirro-World. Big Mom’s tossing causes Brook to fall off the bed and Nami runs straight to her colleague. He wakes up Brook, but Brook screams after seeing his dummy, which wakes up Big Mom. Thinking the fly is still there, Big Mom grabs Prometheus and throws her to the ground where Nami and Brook are. However, Jinbe runs into the room and grabs Nami and Brook, bringing them into the mirror world just as Prometheus hits the floor and explodes. Big Mom and her special pals fall asleep again and the Sanji Retrieval Team celebrates their success in retrieving Brook.
Sanji has reached Sweet City and is forced to fend off a dog that tries to steal his bento basket. Elsewhere, Luffy approaches the suburbs where he fought an enraged army, but is attacked by Charlotte Counter. He tries to counter attack but can only muster basic attacks and none of them are effective. Counter easily overpowers Luffy, leaping into the air and slamming him into the ground with two massive Haki-clad fists. Starving and nearly helpless, Luffy doesn’t get up and Counter stomps him into the ground again.
