Perona breaks into the Blackbeard Pirates' prison to rescue her captain, Gecko Moria, and frees Koby, who then helps free other prisoners. Koby, now with a high bounty, distracts a mob of pirates to protect the others. He recalls Blackbeard's plan to trade him for Hachinosu's entry into the World Government. The pirates face attacks from clay golems, SWORD member Kujaku, and a Marine force led by Garp and Tashigi.

A massive warship comes flying towards the Pirate Island of Beehive and Vice Admiral Garp launches a crushing attack on top of it to save his pupil Koby. Koby almost reaches the ship with Navy HQ Commander Hibari running by his side.

At the Pirate Island of Beehive, Vice Admiral Garp, who came to rescue the kidnapped Koby, deals with an overwhelming number of pirates alone. As he and his fellow Navy soldiers try to escape the island, Kuzan, the former Navy admiral, stands in their way.

Avalo Pizarro, who merged with the Pirate Island, reaches his giant hand to crush the Navy ship with many soldiers and civilians on board. The wounded Garp gives orders to Koby, Helmeppo, and Prince Grus, and delivers a powerful blow to save the ship.
