Luffy, Law, Kid, Zoro, and Killer keep landing hard blows against Kaido in tandem despite the arguing. However, when Big Mom steps in and unleashes powerful lightning strikes, the tide turns for all except one of the rookies.

Zoro gets back on his feet and along with Sanji, confronts King and Queen, the Lead Performers of the Animal Kingdom Pirates. Watching Zoro fight, Hyogoro and Kawamatsu remember someone from way back.

Luffy amps up the reluctant Momonosuke, who is afraid of heights, in his giant pink dragon form, to fly and take him to Onigashima in the sky. Meanwhile, Yamato, in a hard battle against Kaido, vows to survive until Luffy returns.

Zoro tries to figure out a way to damage King. Meanwhile, King remembers when he first met his captain Kaido and declares that his captain is the one to become the King of the Pirates, which leads Zoro to set his swords alight with hellfire.
