Summary

As the Sun God hunts the six Straw Hats across the cage, treating them as his playthings, the crew runs while Luffy admires the toy-block buildings the giant assembled. Nami tries to chart a route from the blueprints, but the Sun God counters that the enclosure once served as a holding cell for giants and that nothing but solid stone lies past the mirror. He fits a metal net to his staff to snare them, only for Zoro to slice it open and set them loose. When the giant finally realizes the crew killed and devoured the Ear God, Glutbunny, he does not grieve but laughs, tickled by their fight for freedom, and he name-drops Hajrudin, the crew's ally from Dressrosa, hinting at a prior connection.

Key Events

The Sun God turns out to be Road of the New Giant Warrior Pirates. His crow Muginn had towed the Thousand Sunny to him after the crew sailed through sleeping clouds that plunged them into deep slumber. Road knew them at once but resented that his captain Hajrudin had chosen to serve under them. Refusing to answer to a human, he caged the Straw Hats in his private diorama to keep them lost to the world. Drawing on Zeus, Nami calls down lightning clouds and blasts Road into helplessness, after which Luffy drives a Gear 4 strike through the stone wall.
