Wano nears its climax as Izou trades his own life to fell a CP0 agent, Hiyori pins Orochi with a Seastone nail, and Luffy seizes a grieving Kaidou's distraction to slip into what he calls his very last Gear Fourth on the Skull Dome.
Within Onigashima the structure begins to give way. Nami's group, swelled by fighters borrowed from the Kid and Law crews, pauses to enjoy the win over the Emperor, only for the Live Floor to buckle under the strain of the blast and the duels overhead. At the island's edge, Franky stretches an arm out to catch Zoro and reel him back before he tumbles into the sea below.
Lending its might to the fight, Zunesha arrives at Onigashima, yet Momonosuke wavers over pressing on. He admits to Yamato that freeing the country may not have been what Oden wanted if innocents would pay for it.

The pair, Guernika and Maha, lean on the Six Powers to overwhelm him, and as a Shigan punches through his chest, Izou squeezes his trigger in the same breath, dropping Maha so that both collapse together. Mourning his fallen partner, Guernika then receives an imperial command from the Five Elders to break off the Robin hunt and put down Luffy at once, trailed unknowingly by Drake. Hidden behind Komurasaki's face, Hiyori waits with Orochi until the ceiling caves and pins him, then drives a Seastone nail into his body to seal his serpent power. On her shamisen she performs his cherished melody, then reveals that her own father, Oden, had loved that same tune.
