Summary:
Kid, Killer and Zoro flee from Apo’s attacks and advance to the castle. Kin’emon’s forces encounter a pond on the eastern mountain path.
Kid confronts Apoo about his betrayal, but Apoo fights back and slashes Kid. Queen, shocked that the Kid has also escaped from the prison mine, gives her men permission to kill him. They are attacked by one of the Numbers, Hatcha, a giant with a mace. The explosive arrow fired knocks Hatcha back, allowing Kid, Luffy, and Zoro to escape to the castle while Wire and Heat hold Hatcha back. However, they are chased by Apo’s sonic attacks. Killer suggests covering your ears. This makes them immune to Apo’s attacks as they only work when the target can hear the sound waves. Kid, Luffy, and Zoro continue to advance to Kaidou’s castle.
Big Mom, who is going to a party, gets word that her family is unharmed and on their way. Big Mom’s pirates, led by Perosperus, ride down the waterfall and approach land.
Chopper’s party with the tank joins Kin’emon’s forces on the eastern mountain path. Kin’emon discusses the plan. The group splits into two more groups; one group enters through the side of the Skull Dome and the other through the back. This allows them to attack Orochi and Kaidou from two angles. Denjiro leads the southern forces, the rest of the Nine Red Sheaths are under the sea, and Robin, Jinbe, Franky, and Brook infiltrate the castle in disguise. Although Nami and Carrot’s group run into hostile Beasts pirates, they use their good looks to fight their way through.
Unfortunately, Kin’emon’s group discovers that the plans for the island were outdated and the castle has been expanded since it was made. The forces encounter a pond on the eastern mountain trail. Sanji finds the recreation hall owned by Black Maria, but finds it empty as Kaidou’s subordinates have left to look for the intruder. Nami, Carrot, and Shinobu decide to break away from the group and search for Momonosuke.
Apoo explains what happened to Killer. When Killer was imprisoned, Orochi offered him the chance to save his captain if he ate the SMILE fruit. Killer ate the fruit, but it was defective, giving him side effects but no ability and giving him pleasure.
Who-is-who decides not to interfere in the battle and instead works to track down Yamato before Sasaki does. He also thinks about how Queen said she would kill one of the Tobiroppos. Who is-who mentions a certain Tobiropp that he wants to kill.
