Stop the Emperor of the Sea! Queen's Secret Plan

Luffy thinks back to Sabaody, where Camie was sold into slavery wearing an explosive collar that Rayleigh stripped away with a single Ryuo-charged hand, and he tries to apply that same lesson to blunt Big Mom's strike. His guard fails, and she flings him and Hyogoro into a wall. Luffy walks away unhurt, but Hyogoro takes a hard hit to the head, congratulating the young pirate for grasping the technique before slumping into his arms.

Big Mom chases Luffy through the ironworks, smashing open countless cells, while Queen rises and devises a counter. Anticipating that she will pursue Luffy through all five labor camps and circle back to the stone quarry, he plants a pot of red bean soup there as bait. The plan unfolds exactly as predicted, and the moment Big Mom finds the soup, Queen plunges down from above and cracks her on the head. The strike seems to accomplish nothing, yet the trauma restores her memories.

Luffy recalls Rayleigh removing Camie's slave collar with Ryuo and attempts the same defense, which fails. Hyogoro is gravely struck after praising Luffy's progress. Queen lays a soup-baited trap at the quarry and lands his Brachio Bomber dive attack on Big Mom, jolting her memories back. Tsunagoro, Omasa, Cho, and Yatappe debut, and Queen's Brachio Bomber technique debuts.

The episode adds Kiku remarking on Luffy's recklessness and Chopper voicing confidence before the attack, a sequence implying Hyogoro has died as Babanuki and Daifugo react with glee then disappointment, Tsunagoro dodging Big Mom and wondering who Luffy is, and Kawamatsu praising Luffy for reversing a dire situation. Big Mom also glimpses flashes of her Homies after Queen's blow. In the manga Hyogoro was drawn with blood on his head after the hit. The episode is part of the Wano Country Arc.
