In Wano Country, Hyogoro and Shimotsuki Yasuke discussed Orochi’s appointment as acting shogun and the samurai plotting against him. When pirates invited by Orochi appeared in the Flower Capital, Yasuke prepared to warn the other daimyo.

• Hyogoro questioned why Sukiyaki had made Orochi acting shogun and learned that Orochi had once been his servant and belonged to the disgraced Kurozumi family.

• Ninja Sarutobi delivered a scroll from the Shogun, and King ordered Taolong to take half his unit and handle the matter.

Yasuke and Kojuro organized a secret attack on Orochi during his public reception in the Flower Capital, while Taolong’s unit hunted the samurai planning to rebel. On Fenrir Island, Oshi named her adopted baby Jack and declined a Great Poster position; Taolong’s group reached the last samurai hideout in Ringo.

• Yasuke and Kojuro planned to gather two hundred samurai and kill Orochi and the outsiders during the Flower Capital reception three days later.

• Kaido said Taolong still lacked the strength required for the role and that the crew had no suitable Devil Fruit to help him improve.
• Ra said she had an idea to help Taolong, though it might be dangerous.

Ra offered to help Taolong gain power through a trial whose success depended on him, while Obe tested her newly built Rider System against Queen. The trial remained ahead, and Obe and Queen began testing the combat suit’s strength.

• Obe tested the armor’s movements and found that it restricted her strength and speed.
• Queen fired Black Fire Light at Obe, who answered with a Double Diamond Cannon blast.

Obe tested her X-Head Cannon armor against Queen, who overwhelmed it but failed to hurt her. She then created and transformed with a ten-star card bearing the power of The God of Obelisk, though the driver trembled dangerously.

• Queen attacked Obe with his Beast-Gatling and a powerful mechanical punch, sending her crashing through the earth.
• Obe revealed she was unharmed, though the X-Head Cannon armor and its card had been damaged beyond use.
• Obe explained that X-Head Cannon was too weak to test her limits and that she could not yet create a stronger, stable card spirit.
• After Queen asked to see something more interesting, Obe created a ten-star card depicting a divine giant.
• Obe inserted the card into her driver and transformed as the driver shook violently, invoking The God of Obelisk.

Obe’s attempt to use a prototype driver with a Phantom God card caused a massive explosion that destroyed the training ground and nearby forest. She survived and focused on the failed experiment’s data and improvements, while Kaido arrived injured and learned Queen had been blasted toward the sea.

• Kaido headed to the training ground, eager to see Obe test her new device, but the driver overloaded and exploded before he could finish speaking.
• At Syracuse Restaurant, Miss Lap and Miss Nina felt the blast and discussed its likely source while Lap served colorful dark chocolate pasta.
• Obe emerged from the destroyed training ground unharmed, but the explosion had also destroyed the device and its data recorder.

Taolong fled a skeletal dragon, fell into a pitfall, and met two Goblins while the Beasts Pirates prepared to relocate their forces across the Fenrir Sea Area. Deke left the island he had guarded for six years, and Old Cook noticed a newspaper report about the Chef Pirates setting sail from the East Blue.
