Summary

A blow from Robin sends Black Maria reeling, and Brook ices over the webbing before smashing it apart to release Sanji. As Robin keeps Maria occupied, Sanji takes off, picking a corridor at random in the hope of running into some of his allies.

Over the broadcast, Bao Huang gives away Yamato's location to everyone on the floor, so Yamato finds the spying mouse and strikes it down. The thing, Yamato explains, is a mechanical creature known as a Mary, a watcher that feeds whatever it sees back to the human Marys serving Kaido.

Key Events

Now that the enemy knows where he is, Beasts Pirates close in on the storehouse, and Yamato fights them off with Momonosuke tucked away in his robe. Carrot, seething over Wanda's defeat, throws herself at Perospero and burns through his candy plating, but clouds slide over the moon and rob her of Sulong, which lets Perospero put her down as well. He sneers at her and at the fallen Pedro before leaving to rejoin the larger fight.

On the roof, Kaido shows the Worst Generation his hybrid shape. With a single minute to go before his Haki returns, Luffy lies down to rest, and when Killer tries his blades on Kaido, the hardened body shrugs them off and a swing of the club hurls Killer away.

Notes

Since Black Maria can no longer guard the prisoners, a patched-up Jack heads for the treasure repository to finish the samurai, and Bao Huang notes that someone has already dressed the Scabbards' wounds. With that task off her hands, Maria fixes on Robin alone and pulls away her robe, baring ink across her body that spells out the words for Girl Trouble. The adaptation works in Yamato noticing and seizing the Mary mouse, along with Carrot's fight against Perospero before the clouds take her Sulong, and it puts Kaido's Human-Beast Form on screen earlier than the manga, which withheld it until Luffy had bounced back from Gear Fourth.
