Summary

Luffy amuses himself with the living legs, strapping the waist to his own and boasting of dragon powers, until the limbs piledrive him repeatedly. Zoro calls everyone over from atop a building, where they realize they stand beside a lake fronting an ice-clad mountain range, meaning the distress call originated from the frozen half of the island. As they argue over exploring, Usopp glimpses a smiling winged woman perched on a chimney who promptly takes flight, leaving him unsure of what he saw.

Key Events

In a locked cell, Franky, Sanji, Nami, and Chopper piece together that sleeping gas felled them and that Brook is missing. A voice from the corner reveals a man's head split into eight scattered pieces; the group reassembles it, briefly mismatching hair and chin. The head, a Wano samurai who cannot explain his own survival, clashes with Nami over manners before warming to them slightly. Once Franky blasts an escape hole with his Radical Beam, the samurai admits he came to the island searching for his son. Carrying the head along, the crew bursts through a door into a room teeming with enormous children.

Notes

Zambai, Tamagon, Kiev, Marumieta, and Yamenahare reappear after the timeskip, with the Franky Family now operating as Zambai's Company Union under Galley-La. Punk Hazard is confirmed to be a two-sided island, one half ablaze and the other frozen, divided by a central lake. Usopp's sighting of the winged woman is dismissed by the others. The still-living samurai head from Wano states he is looking for his son, and Brook remains the only Straw Hat absent, last seen aboard the Sunny.
