Summary

With the elephant that holds Zou rising ever taller ahead of them, the crew and their Barto Club escorts gaze up in wonder. Luffy spots the Thousand Sunny tied against one of the creature's hind legs, and Franky, seeing the hull undamaged, concludes that the missing members slipped free of the Big Mom Pirates. No reply answers the captain's shouts, so he springs onto the silent deck. The elephant then strides off, hauling the ship behind it, and Bartolomeo raises a barrier stairway so that Law and the samurai can hurry over before the long climb up the beast gets underway.

Key Events

At the Revolutionary base on Baltigo, Dragon receives tallies of wins on island after island and learns from Koala that the arms lifted from Dressrosa were forged from a rare alloy, which he identifies as Liquor Iron Ore. He instructs her to assemble every senior officer of the army. Aboard a Blackbeard vessel out in the New World, a call reaches Laffitte and Shiryu from Jesus Burgess, who has stowed onto Baltigo and now crouches behind nearby rock. He wants the full crew to sail over, sack the stronghold, and seize its weapons, and because he hovers near death he asks for Doc Q as well. Far away, standing over the broken A O Pirates, the Warlord Edward Weevil declares that he alone is Whitebeard's true son, not the late captain's loyal followers. His mother Buckin, calling herself Whitebeard's lover, backs him and eyes the sixteen commanders' inherited riches. On reading of Doflamingo's loss to Luffy, she resolves to send Weevil after the youth as a means of locating the vanished Marco.

Notes

Business booms for the dispatch outfit Buggy's Delivery on Karai Bari Island, its crew shielded from the law by their captain's Warlord standing. The mood collapses when Mohji reveals that Hajrudin has quit, then that the other four giants under contract have walked too, leaving Buggy stunned and pressing for the reason. Back at Zou, Kanjuro animates a sketch into a long, ridiculous pink dragon that Robin alone finds cute, and rather than fly the crew up it will crawl the elephant's leg as the Barto Club departs in tears. Debuting are Buckin, Ryunosuke, the location Karai Bari Island, and Kanjuro's Nobori Ryu. Broadcast-only footage covers the discovery of the Sunny, the barrier bridge, and a clearer look at Burgess unmasked than the manga gave.
