Summary

On Dawn Island, villagers digest the news of Luffy and Garp, noting Garp has not been declared dead, with Woop Slap and Makino sure the legend will endure. Then a quake of staggering scale strikes the entire world, felt from Loguetown to Wano to Mary Geoise. Its source goes unrecognized: the destruction of Lulusia six days prior. An investigating ship finds only a vast circular pit in the ocean, like a ring-shaped waterfall where the kingdom once stood. The disaster raises the global sea level by roughly a meter, flooding or submerging many islands. Meanwhile, the Marine fleet bearing down on Egghead is described as dwarfing a Buster Call, with over a hundred ships, twenty of them warships, thirty thousand soldiers, nine Vice Admirals, and Admiral Kizaru, who bickers with Sentomaru over Den Den Mushi.

Key Events

Hidden aboard a warship, Saturn presses Doberman for the truth behind the news. Learning that evacuation ships carry staff who may know too much, Saturn orders them sunk, but waves off Bonney's presence despite knowing she is Kuma's daughter. A signal then reaches the fleet and is wiretapped in Mary Geoise. York identifies herself and demands to know why the Government means to kill her after she exposed the real Vegapunk's treason. When Ju Peter asks her to recreate the Mother Flame, she agrees on the condition that she be spared and granted World Noble status, which Mars accepts. The deal struck, York abruptly bursts into tears, pleading to be saved from Luffy. She is shown chained on the floor, ringed by the Straw Hats with Zoro's blade at her neck and Usopp working the call, confirming a hostage standoff.

Notes

Part of the Egghead Arc, the chapter confirms Lulusia fell six days earlier and that the seahole left behind triggers quakes and tsunamis. Sentomaru notes Vegapunk modeled Pacifista lasers on research into Kizaru's powers. Franky and Usopp are freed from petrification, and Vegapunk is released. The cover honors a request showing a cow serving Nami warm milk while she charts the seas.
