Before leaving, he warned Ryokugyu that the Five Elders might sacrifice Marine Headquarters and Sakazuki, and gave him a letter containing secrets about Wano Country.

• Rayleigh hurried toward Shakky after seeing her distress signal and learning Field Leilde was there, then arrived through the dust and was dumbfounded by what he saw.

Rayleigh arrived at the ruined Island Thirteen expecting to save Shakky, but found Bai Yu had defeated Redfield and Shakky was safe. Bai Yu revived Redfield with a Senzu Bean, intending to let him pursue the Bat-Bat Fruit and become a stronger opponent.

• Bai Yu drew his Zanpakuto and warned the Anbu that he would teach them how to cut someone down.

Bai Yu’s slash devastated the Anbu, but Field, Rayleigh, and Shakky emerged unharmed from their explosive trap and questioned him about their strange surroundings. The system then ordered Bai Yu to defeat Madara Uchiha, leaving him unsure which version of Madara awaited him.

• Bai Yu unleashed a massive blade aura that destroyed the Anbu’s earthen walls and blasted the squad through the forest.

• Field watched the attack and began to question reality.

• Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo attacked Madara Uchiha with water techniques, the Adamantine Staff: Nyoi, and Baku’s suction.
• Bai Yu told Field that Madara Uchiha could not be defeated so easily.

• Madara Uchiha summoned a gigantic Susanoo and threatened to kill the others one by one unless Bai Yu came out.

Madara Uchiha summoned meteors, and Tobirama Senju destroyed the first one with a water dragon and explosive tags. As a second meteor descended, Field launched himself toward it with an umbrella, leaving everyone stunned.

• Madara Uchiha summoned a massive meteor, and Tobirama Senju ordered Danzo, Koharu, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Anbu to retreat while he confronted it.
• Tobirama Senju unleashed Water Release: Water Dragon Biting Explosion and detonated Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags inside the water dragon to shatter the meteor.
• Bai Yu calmly warned that another meteor was coming, prompting Tobirama Senju to order Hiruzen Sarutobi to evacuate the Anbu and seek help for Konoha Ninja Village.
• Field laughed, announced that he would end the fight, and launched himself toward the falling meteor with an umbrella.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted for Bai Yu and the others to stop Field before the meteor hit him.
