The Azure Sky Fortress crashed through Onigashima’s gate, and Kin'emon and the Nine Red Scabbards led the assault, leaving Kaido to recognize Wright’s deception.

• Kaido realized the attackers were Wano’s samurai and heroes, not Marines, and blamed Fleet Admiral Wright for deceiving him.

Kaido and Orochi faced a Marine-backed uprising in Onigashima, while the Marines held back because Orochi remained Wano Country’s nominal ruler. As Marco and the Mink Tribe kept Kaido occupied, the Red Scabbards advanced on Orochi, and Quinn trapped both armies in the venue with his Ice Demon bullets.

• Kaido recognized Wright’s influence, then clashed with Marco and transformed into a dragon to draw him and the Mink Tribe away from the venue.

Drake and Quinn prepared to counter the Revolutionary Army’s advance as Orochi tried to flee, while the Beasts Pirates focused their assassination attempts on Momonosuke. Momonosuke deflected a bullet with Totsuka-no-Tsurugi and urged the Revolutionary Army to kill Orochi.

• Drake told Quinn that the Beasts Pirates’ elite forces had been weakened by the Ice Demon Virus and warned Orochi that their enemies’ stamina was depleted.
• Quinn transformed into his Brachiosaurus Form and went to fight, while Drake left Orochi and headed downstairs; Orochi then ordered Fukurokuju to take him to another floor.
• The Beasts Pirates viewed killing Momonosuke or the Revolutionary Army’s other leaders as their best chance of stopping the Azure Sky Fortress from joining the battle.
• Shinobu and Hyougorou protected Momonosuke from attacks as he advanced with the army, while four former underworld bosses guarded Shimotsuki Yasuie.
• A pirate fired at Momonosuke, but Momonosuke deflected the bullet with Totsuka-no-Tsurugi and ordered the Revolutionary Army to kill Orochi.

Momonosuke sensed a powerful presence in the castle’s basement muttering that she wanted to become Kozuki Oden, leaving the group facing another mystery.

• Drake announced Quinn’s death, ordered the Beasts Pirates to follow him, and attacked Hawkins and Apoo.
• The Flying Six accepted Quinn’s death and joined the fighting as Drake’s forces overwhelmed Hawkins, Apoo, and Orochi’s men.
• Momonosuke urged the Revolutionary Army and Red Scabbards to pursue Orochi while Drake stayed behind and discussed Kaido’s New Onigashima Project with the Flying Six.

• Momonosuke sensed a powerful presence on the first basement level, where someone kept saying she wanted to become Kozuki Oden and would die ten thousand deaths for him.

Orochi tried to reach Kaido’s protection while the battle raged across Onigashima, but Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Law, and the Red Scabbards broke through to his floor and brought the Wano Country Revolutionary Army with them.
