Chapter Summaries

Monet outmaneuvered Luffy and Franky and sent them falling into a cavern, though they stopped themselves against its steel wall. Elsewhere, Perona’s Negative Ghosts briefly incapacitated an enhanced dragon, which got back up before Nami could put out the surrounding fires.

• Monet used a blizzard, ice walls, and a hole in the floor to make Luffy and Franky fall, then left them in the cavern below.

• Perona’s Negative Ghost passed through the dragon and knocked it down, but the dragon soon rose again, enraged.
• Perona formed an Exploding Ghost to attack the dragon, but Nico Robin grabbed her arm before she could send it.

Nami struck the dragon with lightning, but it survived, and Kin'emon and Brook defeated it with their sword attacks. The Straw Hat Pirates then heard Chopper roar and headed uphill to find him, while Tea Beard went off alone to search for his subordinates and confront Caesar.

Chopper and the Straw Hats tried to save the drugged children from eating poisonous candy, with Perona briefly calming them through her Negative Ghosts. As the group prepared to lead the children toward R-66, Monet blocked the exit and confronted them in the Biscuit House.

• The children overpowered Chopper after his Rumble Ball ran out, but Perona and the others arrived as they headed for the Biscuit House.
• Chopper explained that Caesar had experimented on the children and that Mocha had taken the candy; Perona used Negative Ghosts to make the children collapse and cry for their parents.

• Monet revealed that she had eaten the Snow-Snow Fruit, while Nami and Perona challenged her for interfering with their attempt to save the children.

Nami stayed behind in the Biscuit House to fight Monet while the others evacuated the children, then used the Cloud Cloud Fruit and her weather knowledge to turn hot and cold clouds into shifting air currents and a vortex. Monet realized Nami’s clouds could be the key to her power, but Nami’s next move left her stunned.

• Monet made an Ice and Snow Wall and prepared to freeze Nami’s clouds, but she noticed the clouds changing again.

Nami used the Cloud Cloud Fruit and meteorological techniques to overpower Monet in the Biscuit House. She defeated Monet with lightning from a cumulonimbus cloud and left her unconscious amid the ruins.

• Tea Beard, enraged by Caesar’s confession, regained some mobility and swung his great saber at him.

Caesar manipulated the Taxi Soldiers into shooting Tea Beard, but Luffy and Franky intervened and confronted him.

• As rubble fell around them, Caesar contacted his soldiers and ordered them to open the ventilation opening and release the Death Country.

• Law urged Nami to prepare an escape cloud as cracks spread across the ceiling.

The Straw Hat crew and the rescued children escaped the poisonous gas in Punk Hazard and gathered in R Building, where Law learned that Merry controlled wind through her Ship Spirit powers. After they realized Brook was still in the gas-filled area with Kin'emon, Merry went back to find them while Nami prepared a huge cloud to carry everyone to safety.

• Nami prepared a large cloud to evacuate the children, and Law learned from Xi Yan that Merry's wind control came from her being a Ship Spirit, not from a Logia Devil Fruit.

Nami’s group escaped the collapsing facility with the children and Marines, while Buffalo and Baby-5 arrived at Punk Hazard and cleared poisonous gas from part of the island. Doflamingo warned them to leave before a massive explosion, then learned from a dying Monet that his forces had been defeated and admitted he had misjudged the Straw Hat Pirates and Law.

• Nami reassured Mocha that the children could go home, and she took Usopp, the soldiers, and the others away from the collapsing facility on her cloud.
• Baby-5 complained that Doflamingo had destroyed another fiancé and town, while Buffalo urged her to understand the Young Master and asked to borrow 2 million Beli.

• Doflamingo answered Monet’s call and heard her say she was about to die; he admitted he had misjudged the Straw Hat Pirates and Law, then confirmed that Law had defeated Vergo.

Monet prepared to activate Punk Hazard’s Detonation Device on Doflamingo’s orders, while Xi Yan and the others learned that the island was in danger as they escaped through a tunnel. Xi Yan summoned a Wood Dragon to carry the group toward the exit at full speed.

• Doflamingo told Monet to activate the Detonation Device, and she revealed that she was already beside it and agreed to destroy the island with everyone still there.

• Xi Yan summoned a Wood Dragon, which swallowed Nami’s cloud and rushed the group through the tunnel toward the exit.

Xi Yan shielded the group and their cruise ship from a massive explosion with Wood Style: Ranking Wall Technique. Once the blast subsided, Brook prepared to scout outside by sending out his soul.

• Caesar feared Monet might trigger the explosion, then celebrated when he heard Nami had defeated her.
• Xi Yan spotted Poisonous Gas at the tunnel exit, and Merry cleared a safe passage with Wind Impact.
• Xi Yan brought everyone out of the tunnel, but a distant explosion began, so he protected the group and cruise ship with Wood Style: Ranking Wall Technique.
• The blast’s shockwaves struck the wooden shield, frightening the children until Nami lifted everyone onto clouds and Xi Yan assured them they were safe.
• After the shockwaves stopped, Xi Yan chose Brook to scout outside, and Brook began sending his soul out of his body.

After Xi Yan’s Wood Style shield protected the group from the explosion, the Straw Hat Crew and Marines surveyed the ruined island and discussed the poisoned children’s care. Law agreed to remove some of their toxins, while Nami negotiated with the Marines about their longer-term treatment.

Kin'emon awoke on Punk Hazard and learned that an explosion had destroyed much of the island, leaving him convinced that Momonosuke might be dead. Brook suggested Momonosuke could have survived in a protected part of the laboratory, and Kin'emon began questioning Caesar for clues to his location.

• Usopp and the others discovered Kin'emon alive, and Kin'emon realized the dragon he had fought was not Momonosuke.
• Usopp and Sanji told Kin'emon that a terrible explosion had reduced Punk Hazard to ruins, making him fear Momonosuke had died.
• Brook suggested Momonosuke might have survived in a blast shelter, and Sanji stopped Kin'emon from searching the ruins without a plan.
• Usopp and Sanji proposed asking Caesar about the laboratory, and Kin'emon threatened Caesar with his sword to demand Momonosuke's location.
• Caesar recognized Momonosuke as the samurai-haired boy who had refused the poisonous candy, giving Kin'emon hope that he had avoided being poisoned.

Kin'emon learned that Momonosuke might be in the underground Scrapyard, and Merry, Brook, and Zoro went to search for him. As Law began treating the poisoned children, Perona and Xi Yan prepared to confront two of Joker's approaching subordinates.

• Caesar told Kin'emon that Momonosuke had entered the secret room and might have reached the underground Scrapyard, though he had not found him there.
