The Sword Technique Heats Up - Law and Zoro Finally Appear!

In the colony deep below Silver Mine, Desire, Luffy, and Bartolomeo prepare to flee along a rail line that runs to the surface. Desire offers the captive workers a chance to leave, and although they fear Bill's reprisal, she points out that staying only means waiting to die, so they join the climb. Peseta and his men spring out and rain cannon fire down, snapping the track, but Luffy cushions the fall with Gomu Gomu no Fusen while Bartolomeo shields the group, even flinging his barrier with its trapped rubble at Peseta before raising a barrier stairway toward the exit.

A line of alliance fighters plugs the way out with packs of molten ore, until one digger among them is abruptly traded for Kin'emon, whose blade carves through the torrent. Law had used Shambles to swap the two and is left drained by the strain. Luffy batters the alliance aside and the group finally breaks into the open, only for Peseta to reappear and dangle Desire's captured crew from a stretch of track to demand surrender. Zoro slices the hostages down, then turns aside every Adhesive Shell without one sticking and looses a Three Sword Style whirlwind, hurling Peseta together with his men through the air, all of them glued fast. Making for the ship, the four are torn apart when a molten wave smashes part of the bridge and Bill steps out, confessing his real goal had always been collecting his allies' bounties, the reason he destroyed most of Desire's fleet and saved the rest to bring her aboard.

While Zoro carries out Kokujo: O Tatsumaki, the scene flashes an image resembling Momonosuke's dragon form. The installment also brings the Going Luffy-senpai to dock at Silver Mine, has Usopp and Franky drive off a Battle Boat raid at sea, and confirms through Bill's own admission that he engineered the attack on Desire's crew, which sends her charging at him in a rage.
