A Celebration Banquet! The New Emperors of the Sea!

The Straw Hats spill into the capital to join the drawn-out Fire Festival, diving into the games and the banquet. Mindful of Luffy's order, Momonosuke keeps quiet about his own part in the raid. Off by herself, Robin reaches the country's Poneglyph and finds Tenguyama there, who admits he is really Kouzuki Sukiyaki, Oden's father. The Kurozumi had jailed him after his son's execution; he broke free years later but, sickened by what Orochi had made of the land, withdrew into hiding. Sukiyaki goes on to confirm for Robin that the ancient weapon Pluton rests somewhere inside Wano.

Word of Kaidou and Big Mom's fall sweeps across the world. The Five Elders try to strip the Nika imagery from Luffy's poster, but with the printers out of reach, the unaltered picture reaches the public anyway. Fresh bounties follow for Luffy, Law, and Kid, each pegged at three billion berries, and Luffy joins Buggy in filling two of the now-empty Emperor seats. The news drives Kid to storm the festival and lunge for Luffy's life. Over in the old Prisoner Mine, the wounded King and Queen draw a visit from Ryokugyu, who goads them into a fight and then beats both with vines that skewer and wring the water from their bodies, ordering their arrest before flying off toward the capital after Luffy.

This is the first time Kid's eyecatcher carries its own musical sting. Anime-only touches include Luffy, Chopper, and Yamato trying the festival games, and Ryokugyu daydreaming of overrunning the capital while running Luffy through using his Devil Fruit. The installment also lengthens Morgans circulating the newspaper, the crew under Kid taking in word of his fresh bounty, the Brook and Hiyori musical number, Sukiyaki's reasons for staying hidden, and Ryokugyu's brawl with the surviving Beasts Pirates.
