Summary

Speaking through a Den Den Mushi, Big Mom tells Kaidou she intends to travel to Wano and end Luffy personally. Kaidou pushes back, insisting his own grudge runs deeper after Luffy wrecked the SMILE factory he ran with Doflamingo. Neither yields, so Big Mom floats the idea of joining forces against the young pirate. At New Marineford, the Marines tap the call and learn the Emperors' scheme. Kizaru proposes stepping in, but Sakazuki refuses since Wano sits outside World Government authority.

Garp then walks Hina through Luffy's journey since the war. He recalls Luffy ringing the Ox Bell to herald a new age, the crew's two years of separate training, and their reunion at Sabaody. From there the story sweeps through Fish-Man Island and Hody Jones, the pact with Law against Caesar Clown at Punk Hazard, the toppling of Doflamingo at Dressrosa and the birth of the Grand Fleet, the alliance forged at Zou, and the raid on Totto Land that rescued Sanji and felled Katakuri. The hour ends as a hooded man requests an audience with the Five Elders about a particular pirate.
