Zoro, Stunned - The Shocking Identity of the Mysterious Woman!

The next bout pits Luffy and Hyougoro against two opponents, Alpacaman and the armadillo SMILE user Madilloman. Hyougoro squares off with Alpacaman, while Luffy reads the enemy through Haki and calls out precisely how the old man ought to counter. Madilloman becomes Luffy's own foe, and he keeps straining to win without making contact, only to come up short and lean on plain Haki instead. The two SMILE users merge into a single attack designed to flatten Luffy, an effort that fails when he flings the pair backward into a wall. Yet again he is left frustrated that he could not seal the win untouched.

Rebels bearing the crescent tattoo get crammed into a vast enclosure for public shaming, and a handful of Heart Pirates, Bepo among them, sit in the throng. Komurasaki and Toko escort Zoro to a cottage so his injuries can be treated. As he makes to chase the sword thief, Komurasaki holds him back, warning that his wounds have not yet closed. She tells him she provoked Orochi, the reason the killer Kamazo was sent after her. At last she surrenders her secret, that the long-missing sister of Momonosuke, Kouzuki Hiyori, is in fact herself.

This is the opening episode to start with DREAMIN' ON, and it debuts Madilloman along with new techniques for both armored fighters. The broadcast inserts Alpacaman coating his spits in Armament Haki, which swaps out the source beat of him swinging swords at Hyougoro, plus more shots of Luffy dodging Madilloman's fire and batting away Seastone rounds with Haki-clad arms. Madilloman tries spinning attacks before Luffy makes another bid at the advanced technique. The cottage scene shared by Zoro, Hiyori, and Toko picks up lines that the manga lacked.
