Summary

Recalling the lone scar Oden gave him and the late lord's warning never to underestimate Wano's samurai, Kaidou screams as the Scabbards pierce his hide using Oden's hardening Haki. The whole alliance mobilizes as the disguised samurai cast off their costumes. While Luffy faces Big Mom on the Performance Floor, Kaidou rises from the rubble with only shallow wounds and takes to the air in dragon form. The Scabbards cling to his body to follow him up, and the Mink Tribe joins them, with Inuarashi and Nekomamushi beginning to transform under the full moon.

Key Events

Kin'emon lands the first blow and the others quickly join, reopening the old scar as Kaidou realizes they wield Oden's Ryuo. Hyougoro's fighters block the Beasts Pirates from interfering. Ulti intercepts Yamato again, who parries her club and declares this the day he becomes Kouzuki Oden. Nami and Carrot free themselves with the Clima-Tact and Electro. Kaidou taunts that pirates always betray and that allies flee a losing side, but Kin'emon insists Luffy will one day rule the seas. Queen, alerted to thousands of samurai pouring in, orders the Beasts Pirates to full mobilization.

Notes

Marco and Perospero reach Onigashima together. Kaidou accepts Luffy's challenge and flies to the dome's summit for an open-air duel like his last with Oden, but Nekomamushi notes the crucial difference this time, the presence of the minks, as he gazes up and begins activating Sulong. The title likely references Chushingura, the tale of the forty-seven ronin avenging their master, with brocade substituted for treasury to mirror Kin'emon's name. The cover pairs the Straw Hats with pugs.
