Kaido gathered Wano Country’s samurai for the Beasts Pirates, unknowingly giving the Nine Red Scabbards a chance to leave Wano and find their young lord. After the Navy debated Sengoku’s fate, the Five Elders gave him one last chance to respond to Kaido’s movements.

• Doflamingo laughed at Kaido’s speech, and Ulti rebuked him while the other Tobiroppo showed their dislike of him.

The chapter ended with Second Lieutenant Koby arriving in Magic Valley City to install Den Den Mushi by order of the Fleet Admiral.

• Leo argued that Kaido’s enormous dragon form would draw concentrated fire, while the Navy still retained its top fighters and aerial advantage.
• Leo revealed that Morgans’s broadcast had concealed the battle’s casualties, misleading the other Four Emperors into thinking the Navy was weakened; only Kaido had acted on the opportunity.

• The Revolutionary Army crowd made way for Leo, whose authority had grown after their recent victory.
• Leo confirmed that Koby was a Marine Second Lieutenant from Marine Headquarters and asked whose order had sent him there.
• Koby said Vice Admiral Garp had ordered him to come alone, and Leo considered what the mission might mean.
• Leo told the revolutionaries not to frighten Koby and agreed to let him install the Live Bug, but Koby admitted he had never thought about where to place it because he expected to die.
• Issho and the others were moved by Koby’s resolve, and they wondered whether he could become the next Fleet Admiral.

Leo questioned Koby about Marineford’s preparations for Kaido’s invasion, then let him return to the Marines. As the Revolutionary Army watched, Sengoku broadcast an order for every Marine to meet the Beasts Pirates in battle.

• Leo asked Koby about Marineford’s morale and preparations, and Koby said Sengoku had ordered a full mobilization and evacuated civilians to Mary Geoise.

The Marines launched a carefully prepared assault on the Beasts Pirates, whose crew initially mistook the first inaccurate volley for a sign of Marine weakness. The second bombardment revealed the Marines’ rapid-fire cannons and delayed-fuse shells, inflicting heavy casualties on the Beasts fleet.
