Trap on Lovely Street! Almighty God Enel

So that Conis and Pagaya avoid further grief, the three depart her house, yet their aged Skypiea map leaves them lost on the way to the Sacrificial Altar. At her father's request, Conis turns up and volunteers to guide them, an offer they take. Watching in secret, McKinley grins, glad the outsiders mean to enter the Upper Yard. The group arrives at Lovely Street, a crowded stretch of stalls where shoppers edge away from the branded criminals, while Luffy entertains himself handling dials and other goods on display.

At the Gondola Port, Luffy stubbornly demands a particular gondola until Sanji comically pummels him into apologizing. Conis sends them through Gate 2 toward the Milky Road that climbs to the Upper Yard, but Luffy has noticed she has shaken with nerves since they left her home. Usopp grows wary, since she leads them onward while the townsfolk keep their distance. At last Conis discloses the secret obligation Skypieans owe against visitors: a flashback shows Pagaya and the citizens expecting these so-called Sea Dwellers to give up and flee, all enforced under Enel's rule, with punishment awaiting any who refuse. She reveals that she summoned the lobster that dragged the Going Merry and her crewmates upward. The admission condemns her, and drawing on Mantra, Enel sends down a huge beam that flattens nearby houses.

Luffy tries to carry Conis clear of the blast, and afterward it is unclear whether either lived, until Gan Fall and Pierre prove to have rescued them both. Asked what he intends, Luffy answers that they will push on to the Upper Yard and free their friends, leaving McKinley astonished at their lack of hesitation. The episode adapts chapter 244 and closes with Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp setting out for the Upper Yard.
