Chapter 819

Now that Oden's service under Roger is known, the crew understands that Kaidou and the shogun pursue Momonosuke and his guardians on the belief that Oden passed Laugh Tale's secret to the next generation. The truth is the opposite, since Oden refused to lay that weight on his heir. The three retainers announce their aim of retaking Wano and throwing its borders open, meaning to topple both the shogun and Kaidou with the minks fighting at their side.

Acknowledging the might of Luffy and Law, the swordsmen ask the crew to enlist, but Luffy refuses outright, stunning the room. He rounds on Momonosuke instead, demanding the heir speak for himself and scolding him for weeping. Recalling that Kaidou took both his father and his mother, the boy hardens and asks for help. Luffy agrees, binding the minks and samurai into a single alliance, though he insists on recovering Sanji first and decides to sail for Whole Cake Island with Pekoms.

As the minks ready a feast to mark the rulers' reconciliation, Wanda, Pedro, and Carrot look back fondly on the days the pair were close. The calm shatters when Jack's fleet returns offshore. Annoyed that his subordinates failed, Jack waves off a plan to ambush the surviving minks and locks onto a darker target: killing Zunesha, the elephant bearing the whole nation. The chapter also records that a will of Oden's called for opening the country, and that Momonosuke knew nothing of the secret Kaidou and Doflamingo chased.
