Justice for the Winners! Sengoku's Strategy in Action!

Skewered by Moria, Oars Jr. strains one final time to reach Ace before his vast body crumples and shatters the bay, leaving everyone stunned. When the towering Vice Admiral Lonz charges at Whitebeard, the Emperor brushes him off in an instant using the quake powers. Whitebeard then commands his crew to mount the fallen giant and surge ahead, and they cut down every Marine blocking the route. Furious over Oars Jr.'s mangled leg, the commander Atmos throws himself at Doflamingo, who chuckles about occupying the center of history and twists Atmos against his own comrades with his still-unrevealed power.

Too rattled to fight, Koby and Helmeppo bolt and run straight into Akainu confronting a soldier who wishes to leave for his family's sake. The admiral slays the man for picking shame over honor, leaving the watching Marines terrified, right as word reaches him that the strategy stands ready.

Whitey Bay's ice-cutting vessel finally lets Whitebeard's allies smash into the bay. Acting on Sengoku's command, Tsuru triggers the plan, scrubbing away the pirates who assail her with her Woshu Woshu no Mi and rallying every Marine over the transponder snail. Garp ascends the platform, recalling his wish that Ace and Luffy grow into Marines rather than pirates, and both men dissolve into tears as Sengoku takes in Garp's torment. The instant Koby and Helmeppo catch wind of the order to kill Ace early, the prison's escaped inmates and Luffy plummet from the sky in a stolen warship, leaving nearly the entire battlefield staggered by the troublemaker's return.

A continuity glitch erases Whitebeard's chest scars during the Lonz clash, only for them to pop back when he blocks. The escapees raining down echoes the Kaze o Sagashite opening and follows its exact order, though here the ship and many of the falling prisoners are added and Luffy's vest color differs. Crocodile pins the fall on Ivankov, a claim the following episode refutes. This installment introduces Hangan and Reforte, debuts Whitebeard's Kabutowari, and unveils the Woshu Woshu no Mi.
