Kuma

Nearly every Marine stationed outside the auction house has fallen by now, and Luffy teases Kid and Law about how strange their abilities are, only for Kid to lob the same insult right back. Shaken, the soldiers cling to the idea of holding on until Kizaru lands. Unwilling to stall, Law flings a still-conscious severed head, whose mouth shouts a warning about his Room technique, yet a field has already settled over roughly a dozen troops. With his Shambles, Law reshuffles their limbs at a whim.

Luffy then enters Gear 3 and bats the Marines away with a colossal fist, and Kid lifts every gun and metal fragment within reach into a hulking arm exactly as the soldiers move to shoot. The trio of captains runs wild with their fruit powers as their crews and Rayleigh begin slipping outside. Kid says goodbye to Luffy, promising no leniency at their next encounter, and reels when Luffy proclaims he intends to find the One Piece. Kid answers that he slaughtered everyone who ever laughed at his own ambition, that those without such a dream are finished in the New World, and that he expects to see both Luffy and Law out there.

While the crews dash toward their ships, one Marine almost finishes off Law, but Bepo steps in and downs him together with several more. A path opens for Luffy thanks to Sanji, and the Rosy Life Riders ready themselves to carry the Straw Hats off, the crew battling its way clear. Law then frees Jean Bart, a one-time pirate captain who had served as Rosward's slave, and welcomes him aboard the Heart Pirates; Jean Bart accepts without hesitation, and Law remarks that half of his thanks should go to Luffy for setting the chaos in motion.

As Kid's crew heads for their boat, a beam tears straight through Kid. Atop a nearby slope looms a shape that looks like Bartholomew Kuma, prompting Kid to ask why a Warlord would turn up on the island as the chapter ends.

The cover depicts Rob Lucci mending from his injuries to Hattori's joy. This installment officially gives names to Bepo, the speaking, martial-arts bear among the Heart Pirates, and to Jean Bart, the towering slave who had stood at Saint Rosward's side. The final glimpse of Kuma lays the groundwork for the Pacifista revelation that powers the remainder of the arc.
