Summary

In the recorded footage, Shaka asks whether addressing the whole planet is wise, worried the public cannot handle it. Vegapunk replies that the press will carry his words everywhere inside a day. Against any attempt to silence him, his fix is to hijack the Marines' own signal lines and force the most powerful possible transmission, and in the present their lines cannot be cut however hard they fight. He grants ten minutes for people to prepare their snails, trimming it down from an hour so detractors cannot kill the feed before it airs.

Within Mary Geoise, the remaining elders link to Saturn telepathically and ask if the scientist has been handled. Saturn thinks Kizaru struck the fatal blow. Warcury concludes a dead man's trigger set the airing in motion, and Ju Peter argues that finding its origin could end it. They settle on the Labophase as the likely source, walled off by the Frontier Dome.

Around the globe, allies and onlookers gather to listen, the audience reaching as far as Water 7, Foosha Village, the Dressrosa palace, and the offices of the World Economy News Paper, while Dragon recalls Shaka foretelling his early death. Luffy threads a paired ambush, then claps Saturn and Kizaru together with Dawn Cymbal and whirls them out toward the ocean. Saturn merely heals and charges back, the elders warn time is gone, and Saturn casts the summoning that hauls the other four onto the island amid black lightning.

Key Events

Vegapunk's recording allows the audience ten minutes to ready themselves, and no Marine effort can block the global feed. The surviving elders reach Saturn telepathically and recognize the feed as something a dead man's trigger would launch, with Ju Peter placing its origin within the shielded Labophase. Listeners ready themselves at scattered locations, including Foosha Village, Water 7, the Dressrosa palace, and the newspaper's headquarters, and Iceburg's secretary Alice debuts.

Luffy overwhelms Kizaru and Saturn alike, flinging Kizaru into a Marine ship, though Saturn keeps mending and rejoins the brawl. With the message now unstoppable, the elders push Saturn to call the others, and four ritual circles bloom around him to deliver the rest of the council to Egghead.
