After defeating Holdem, Luffy grabs Tama and flees the scene. During the escape, they encounter Speed and Tama tames her. They then catch up to Zoro, Kiku, and Komachiyo as the latter three were fleeing with the stolen food cart. Meanwhile, Law fights Hawkins but their battle is interrupted when the food cart passes by them. After jumping on the food cart, Law reprimands Zoro for his group's actions.

Right after the destruction of Oden Castle, Luffy enters a furious battle with Kaido.

Wano's most popular courtesan heads to the palace, but a revenge plot threatens the proceedings.

After Udon is conquered, Chopper tends to Luffy and works to develop a cure for his condition. Luffy asks Kid to join the fight against Kaido, but Kid rejects his offer and leaves Udon with Killer. After finding out that Luffy is a pirate, the prisoners distrust him, but Momonosuke speaks to them and convinces them to join the cause to liberate Wano Country. Elsewhere, Ashura Doji reveals to Kin'emon and Inuarashi that he had comrades who were too impatient to wait for the Kozuki Family to return and died when they tried to fight Kaido. Afterwards, Ashura comes around and decides to rejoin Kin'emon.

While Luffy is hurrying to the rooftop and Yamato is trying to catch up to Momonosuke to protect him, the Akazaya members finally face off against Kaido. Hearing Kaido jeering at them for being weak, the samurai retainers attack him relentlessly, remembering the day Oden told them to master his sword skill.

Luffy’s strong attack reminds Kaido of all the strong ones he’s ever met. On the other hand, Luffy, Law, and Kid keep quarreling amongst themselves. Meanwhile, Sanji is caught and interrogated by Black Maria in what he calls “heaven.”

Luffy remembers how he was advised by his friends, how he was saved by his comrades, and the frustrations of being defeated. As Kaido mocks him to his face, the Color of the Supreme King Haki gushes out and they clash again.
