Reading on Kuraigana Island that Moria survives, Perona is annoyed Mihawk kept it from her. She almost rushes off immediately to seek him out; Mihawk sends her off with good wishes, and she thanks him through tears for taking her in. He remarks that something worth noting came up at the Levely, making now a fitting moment for her to go. Over in the New World, Moria and his zombie army tear through the pirate refuge of Hachinosu, calling for Blackbeard and searching for Absalom, said to have arrived there a few days prior. Word of the attack reaches Avalo Pizarro.

All at once Absalom greets Moria, praising the island as a paradise and apologizing for failing to check in. Reassured, Moria cautions that this crew is infamous for preying on fruit users, and in that instant an invisible Shiryu cuts him down, having seized Absalom's transparency fruit. The beaming Absalom then turns out to be Catarina Devon wearing a disguise through her fox power, and she discloses that Absalom is dead. Blackbeard's voice thunders from a loudspeaker as he sets off a tremor, declaring his territory a haven for pirates and urging Moria to sail under his banner.

Blackbeard passes along the day's news: on the Levely's fourth day, Sabo and his Revolutionaries fought Admirals Fujitora and Ryokugyu to take back Kuma, while Luffy and the other rookies caused an uproar in Wano and Big Mom pursued them. In the Kuri region, Ashura Doji and Inuarashi exchange blows on Mt. Atama, observed by Kiku, Kin'emon, and the mountain bandits. At Amigasa Village, Tenguyama thanks Chopper for mending Tama's wounds, and Chopper promises the girl that Raizo has sworn to spring Luffy from prison. Kin'emon resolves to enlist Shutenmaru, who sneers that the family's returned warriors gladden no one and that the two-decade gap they left behind will never be filled. On Onigashima, King and Queen chew Jack out over the shrinking tribute from Kuri.

Four figures resurface for the first time since the time skip, namely Blackbeard, Avalo Pizarro, Catarina Devon, and Moria, and Teach's bounty of 2,247,600,000 berries becomes the earliest instance of an Emperor's figure being displayed. Shiryu is now the holder of the Suke Suke no Mi, while the power Devon consumed is identified as the nine-tailed-fox variety, the Inu Inu no Mi in its Kyubi no Kitsune model. A pair of All-Stars, King and Queen, make their entrance. On the cover, several black cats join Perona in brewing sangria from Mihawk's wine supply.
