Closing the Amazon Lily Arc, the episode tracks Zoro and Brook after Kuma scattered them. Zoro wakes on a gloomy island under the bored Perona's thumb, while Brook is hailed as Satan by starving villagers craving revenge.
Aboard Momonga's ship, Hancock frets that Nami and Robin might lure Luffy away from her, while the captain belches and gushes about how tasty the food is. She tells him to keep it down, but the racket has already caught the ear of Lieutenant Stalker, who grows suspicious of her. On a dismal island far away, Perona sulks that Kuma did deliver her to the place she requested, only the spot has no servants and no stuffed animals to amuse her. When Zoro drops from the sky, she carries the swordsman off to the castle that crowns the island, and the moment he comes to, she fells him once more using one of her negative hollows, then crams him into a Kumashi costume.
Insisting Zoro will serve as her attendant, Perona hurls additional negative hollows at him to break his will, yet he decides to leave anyway, with the ghost-girl drifting after him through her abilities to keep him close. On the impoverished Harahettania of Namakura Island, a band of worshippers carrying out a ritual to call up Satan are convinced it succeeded when Brook lands before them. They explain they want vengeance on the Longarm Tribe and ask what their summoned demon desires in exchange; his reply is a request to glimpse the underwear of one of the women, and to his confusion every devotee present, the men among them, promptly complies.

Six days remain before Ace's execution, and the Admirals, the rest of the Warlords, and several renowned officers gather at Marineford to brace for Whitebeard's expected counterattack.
