Perospero and his siblings debated how to respond to the Navy's attack on Cake Island while Big Mom pursued the Straw Hat Kid. Perospero decided to risk deceiving Big Mom again and lead her back to defend their headquarters.

• Perospero explained that Kizaru, Fujitora, Ink Snake, and Shiryu of the Rain were massacring the Charlotte Family forces on Cake Island.
• Mondol argued that they had to return before their headquarters and troops were wiped out, but said they could not leave Big Mom behind.

• Perospero decided to abandon the pursuit and return to Cake Island with Big Mom.
• Perospero told his siblings that he would deceive Big Mom into returning, accepting the risk because he had already lied to her about the cake.

The Navy’s advance force arrived at Cake Island while Sakazuki’s main force and Vice Admirals attacked the surrounding islands in a cautious, divided campaign. Dawn recognized the strategy as a compromise designed to test whether Big Mom would return before the Navy committed to a full-scale attack.
