A Woman's Honor

Battling cream-clogged juice, Chopper and Brook wrestle the Shark Submerge III toward the Thousand Sunny, the vessel coated inside and out by the giant sponge cake. Deeper in the woods, with Big Mom torching the trees, Jinbe describes her craving disorder to Luffy and ties the fit to the cake Luffy ruined. The forest homies assault the crew, and the maze warps to trap them, since Big Mom's nearness cancels Lola's Vivre Card. Jinbe urges Nami to keep Zeus fed, warning that recovery of the cloud homie would doom any escape. Luffy strikes Prometheus to avenge Kingbaum, yet his Haki-imbued blows slip through the flame body until Jinbe stuns it with bursts of water.

A squad of the crew darts ahead and engages, and Jinbe and Luffy yank Pedro and Carrot back rather than let the group fracture. Caught off guard, Nami lets Zeus devour her entire weather egg, which balloons into a black thunderhead spreading over nearly the whole sky. Sanji drags the stunned navigator along as she fires a gust, calling down an enormous bolt that ravages the pursuing pirates, the crew barely outrunning the blast. From the Sunny, Perospero concludes the Straw Hats were wiped out and tells Brook and Chopper their friends are gone, offering them a chance to abandon Totto Land, which they refuse. High above, Pudding and Chiffon ride in on Rabiyan, Chiffon having chosen to repay the crew for rescuing her twin Lola.

Having reclaimed the Shark Submerge III, Chopper and Brook make their way back to the Sunny, steeling themselves to fight Perospero and Katakuri. The chapter confirms that Big Mom's proximity nullifies the hold her Vivre Card grants over the homies. Nami harnesses Zeus into a ruinous lightning strike against Big Mom and nearby crew, though Perospero believes the attack was the Emperor's own doing. Chiffon parts from Bege to accompany Pudding, the pair heading into the Seducing Woods after Sanji, and Pudding's odd preoccupation with him comes to light.

On the cover, the Barto Club brazenly torch the Red Hair Pirates' flag to the citizens' alarm. A flashback lays out Chiffon's reasoning: she told Bege that aiding Lola's saviors was the honorable thing to do and asked him to care for Pez should she not return.
