Shanks Makes A Move! The Linchpin To The Reckless Era!

While Water 7 celebrates with Sogeking's singing and the Franky Family dancing, the scene shifts to a fleet of wrecked Marine ships and an untouched pirate vessel gliding past. The Five Elders learn that the Whitebeard and Red Hair crews have broken through the Navy's defenses to hold a meeting. Boarding the Moby Dick, Shanks fells several rookies with his Supreme King Haki, then pours drinks for himself and Whitebeard once the crew clears out.

Shanks points to the scar across his face, blaming Marshall D. Teach, and asks Whitebeard to call off Ace's pursuit of him. Whitebeard furiously insists Blackbeard must be taught a lesson and hurls his bottle. Shanks draws his blade, warning that the world is headed for chaos, and the two clash with such force that the sky tears apart. Back in Water 7, the Franky Family is relieved to find themselves left out of the Enies Lobby report, while Iceburg, Paulie, and others join Franky in building the crew's new ship.

Shanks knocks out Whitebeard Pirates with Supreme King Haki, and a continuity flub leaves his scar missing as Whitebeard throws the sake jug. The episode reuses out-of-context jump cuts from the prior installment, and the anime-only subplot has Stevie and Bushon mistake the party for Nami's wedding to Paulie.
