Episode 398 sends Admiral Kizaru toward Sabaody, frees Camie from her bomb collar, and ignites a three-captain clash with the Marines surrounding the auction house.
Summary
Sengoku orders Kizaru to restore the Celestial Dragons' honor on the archipelago. While the rookies brace for the admiral's coming, Rayleigh tends to Camie and removes her exploding collar with calm precision. Luffy, Kid, and Law then step outside to meet the swelling Marine cordon, each captain showing off his Devil Fruit as cannon fire opens the fight.
Key Events
Word of Luffy striking a World Noble races through Sabaody, scattering rookies like Bonney and Bege while Drake's group lingers to watch. At Mary Geoise, Sengoku learns up to five Supernovas are present, and Kizaru volunteers to handle it. Disco reports the breakout to Doflamingo, who dismisses the slave business as outdated, touts SMILEs as the future, and notes his recall as a Warlord for the war on Whitebeard. Rayleigh triggers the collar's timer, and the blast leaves Camie unharmed. Kid identifies the old man as the Dark King, who insists he is merely a coater now. Outside, Luffy deflects a cannonball with Gomu Gomu no Fusen, Kid repels shots with magnetism, and Law swaps a Marine's head for a cannonball inside his ROOM.
Notes
SMILEs are referenced here for the very first time, though they would not physically appear nor be mentioned again until more than two hundred episodes later in Episode 615. A continuity quirk shows two Penguins among the Heart Pirates. The chapter source is chapter 504.
