The Delinquent Comes Home - Emperor Big Mom's Assassins

On the way to Nekomamushi, Brook takes over from Wanda to explain where Sanji and Caesar went. Serving Big Mom, both Pekoms and Bege had followed the crew to Zou, which happened to be Pekoms' birthplace. While the Curly Hat Pirates kept aiding the minks, Pekoms shared a tearful reunion with his own people. Sanji and Brook later confronted the pair, and Pekoms admitted to an assignment that would split the crew apart, yet his thankfulness drove him to wreck it on purpose, a choice that pushed Bege to riddle his back with gunfire.

Brook warns the crew that Sanji may never come home and that the truth runs far deeper than the note implies. He recalls how the enemy overheard Luffy naming Zou as their goal and, thanks to a native aboard, reached the Phantom Island no Log Pose can find. Pekoms erupted in rage over the ruined Kurau City before tracing survivors to the Rightflank Fortress. Inside, Sanji cooked for the minks and traded the customary minkship nuzzle with the females, while Wanda gifted Nami a prized dress. Reuniting with his kin, Pekoms cursed Jack once he learned the truth. Sanji concluded that Caesar, useless as a bargaining chip now that Doflamingo had fallen, had earned his fate. Outside, a weeping Pekoms threw his arms around Sanji, thanked him, and disclosed a second objective that would split the crew apart, vowing to ruin it out of gratitude. When Bege branded him a coward and reached for his back, a torrent of bullets burst from Bege's palm into the kneeling mink.

The broadcast adds Zoro's quip about feeling better without Sanji, more footage of Sanji cooking and flirting, Caesar suggesting they hand Momonosuke over, and the arrival of the two pirates at the fortress. Pekoms searching for survivors is drawn out further. The shooting itself gains extra motion plus reaction shots from Sanji and Brook, though the moment is not carried to its conclusion until episode 763.
