Sabo Returns - The Shocking Truth to Be Told!

As he sits down with Dragon and Ivankov, Sabo marks the partial success achieved at the Levely, where the army provoked an uprising across eight separate kingdoms. Among those nations, every one has now ceased its payment of the Heavenly Tributes, and the revolutionaries went further by attacking suppliers serving the World Government in order to besiege Mary Geoise. The mood is tempered by grief over Cobra's assassination, since the army held him to be a kind and capable ruler. Dragon raises the Knights of God for the very first time before the recollection begins in earnest.

While the raid unfolded across the holy land, Karasu, Lindbergh, and Morley released the World Nobles' slaves and told them to gather at the town's eastern edge for evacuation. Karasu then entered combat with Fujitora, and Ryokugyu likewise confronted Morley, with both admirals constrained to attack without injuring any nobles. Watching the turmoil unfold were Kalifa, Jabra, Fukurou, Blueno, and Kumadori. Sabo slipped into Pangea Castle to hunt for the keys that would unlock the slaves' collars, but he uncovered Charlos' renewed plan to make a slave of Shirahoshi once more, on this occasion turning Kuma into his instrument. The discovery enraged Sabo, who abandoned his original goal and resolved instead to free Kuma. Elsewhere, Cobra readied himself for his audience with the Five Elders. The two bodyguards at his side, Pell and Chaka, were refused entry at the door, leaving only the king permitted to attend.

The anime broadly enlarges the Revolutionary Army's strike on Mary Geoise, layering in fresh scenes. A guard urges the nobles to flee just as one of them moves to have the guards killed for permitting the attack, Karasu is depicted coming to the rescue of Pluming's slave and then frightening the noble into flight with a single glare, and Morley rises from the earth to halt a noble taking aim at the freed slaves. The adaptation also reveals that the agents who assaulted Karasu belong to Cipher Pol, and it has Karasu employ Observation Haki to detect the two admirals beforehand. The episode introduces Pluming and debuts Karasu's Obelisusu and Karasu Renkon along with Lindbergh's Laser Shooter, with Morley featured as the bonus character.
