Summary

Luffy steps back into the Mirro-World to face Katakuri, who wonders whether he came to die rather than flee in shame or to beg for a place among the Big Mom Pirates. Luffy answers with a barrage of punches and declares he returned to win, while Katakuri dodges and notes neither was among the choices he offered. At sea, the pursuing fleet hurls cannonball homies, but Nami's trickery sends them off course. A crewman observes that Big Mom struggles to control her homies while deranged, yet the Straw Hats are now boxed in.

Key Events

Daifuku's ships block the Sunny's path while Smoothie's fleet closes from behind. Perospero clears Daifuku to sink the vessel and notes Big Mom has slimmed down from the long chase. Brook readies to charge straight through, but Jinbe warns that Daifuku wields a genie. Chopper offers to go wild with a Rumble Ball, yet Carrot volunteers instead. As the full moon rises, she becomes a Sulong, astonishing both crews, and Nami recalls Inuarashi promising the Mink Tribe's true power. Carrot dives, redirects in midair toward Daifuku's ship, and tears through his pirates.
