Ebisu Town

Guided by Tonoyasu into Ebisu Town, Zoro receives a warm welcome from residents who stay merry even as they speak of going hungry. Their good cheer baffles him, and Yasu reasons that laughter is a gift too precious to leave unused. The townsfolk mention a nighttime visit from Ushimitsu Kozo, who left them coin taken from the capital. A child draws clean well water for Zoro, who drinks it grudgingly while the locals keep smiling and vow that poverty will never break them.

Word reaches Kaidou on Onigashima that Big Mom's fleet approaches, having roped carp to their vessel to drag it up the falls. Furious, he commands they be sunk, yet Big Mom's crew sweeps aside the Beasts Pirates' defenses and begins the ascent. Big Mom relishes the coming clash with Luffy and the chance to retrieve Zeus, and Kaidou grows more frantic, ordering her halted before all-out war ignites. Just as they reach the summit, King soars in transformed into a pteranodon through the Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon, striking the prow so the ship flips and plunges. Meanwhile in the capital, Usopp, Sanji, Franky, and Law run from the assassins, but Sanji hears a woman scream as Page One, in spinosaurus form, smashes the food stalls. He rushes over and kicks the headliner down, then tells the others to leave as he brings out his Raid Suit canister.

Zoro reaches Ebisu Town, a place Ushimitsu Kozo had lately visited. The Big Mom Pirates reach Wano but King repels them at the threshold before any of them set foot inside, and his Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Pteranodon is disclosed. Sanji goes after Page One and means to don the Raid Suit to mask his identity, confident he can avoid harm so long as no one learns who he is. The cover request shows Urouge and Cracker racing on dolphins.
