Hiyori walks Zoro through the coup that scattered the Kouzuki and the years Kawamatsu raised her, while down in the mine Hyougoro fells Alpacaman with a refined Armament Haki and offers to teach the method to Luffy.
Zoro tells Hiyori that he sides with Momonosuke and reassures her that Kin'emon and the rest are still living. She answers by recounting the day, twenty years past, that turned everything upside down. As Orochi toppled the Kouzuki Family, Toki called on her Devil Fruit to fling five people two decades ahead in time, Momonosuke and Kin'emon together with Kikunojo, Raizo, and Kanjuro. Hiyori was purposely kept behind as a safeguard, so the line would carry on even if Momonosuke never reached that future. Both Oden and Toki perished in the coup, yet Hiyori survived because Kawamatsu spirited her to safety and brought her up through her childhood.
The story finished, Zoro briefs her on the operation, reporting that his side has tracked down all of the Nine Red Scabbards save three, and Hiyori names the three still unaccounted for, Kawamatsu, Denjiro, and Ashura Doji. The two then settle in to sleep. Over in Ebisu Town, Law clashes with Shinobu over her charge that the Heart Pirates gave away the plans, and he stalks off enraged. As the others worry about him, the town is stirred up by Bingo, Bongo, and Bungo, three onetime capital crooks who once bribed officials, fell for Komurasaki, were robbed and banished by her, and were welcomed in by Tonoyasu despite their ongoing rudeness toward the locals.

Back at the mine, Luffy still cannot drop his foes without contact, so Hyougoro explains that Wano possesses a technique for exactly that and proves it by downing Alpacaman from a distance. The broadcast adds Zoro figuring out that Hiyori meant Kiku when she asked after Kikunojo, an imagined glimpse of the grilled fish Kawamatsu once bragged of catching, and Toko declaring she would like to see a kappa once the tale ends. Azuki turns up for the first time in this entry.
In "Get the Hang of It - Wano Country's Haki, Ryuo!," Kouzuki Hiyori tells Zoro that twenty years earlier Orochi overthrew the Kouzuki Family and Toki used her Devil Fruit to send Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Kikunojo, Raizo, and Kanjuro twenty years into the future, while she herself was deliberately left behind as a safeguard for the family line.
Hiyori survived because Kawamatsu rescued her during the coup and raised her through childhood after both Oden and Toki died in the attack.
In this episode, Zoro reports that his side has located all of the Nine Red Scabbards except three, and Hiyori names the missing trio as Kawamatsu, Denjiro, and Ashura Doji.
