Summary:
The rest of the Straw Hats wait for Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji to return the treasure from Caribou. They easily find the Caribou with all the treasure. Luffy, Zoro and Sanji each take a huge sack of treasure. Meanwhile, Pekoms and Tamago come to get candy, but the Left Minister claims that there is no more candy and the factory machinery was destroyed by Hody.
Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji find Caribou and the treasure and start carrying it back, looking for a ride back to Ryugu’s palace. On the way back, he sees a crowd at a candy factory. Luffy shouts “Thanks for the sweets, they were delicious!” He didn’t know that there were Big Mom Pirates, Pekoms and Tamago fights. Luffy is intrigued by the sight of Pekoms and Tamago and then realizes that they are part of Big Mom’s crew. Luffy thought that Big Mom was a “good guy” since she claimed Fish-Man Island as her territory, but he realizes that she is only doing this in exchange for 10 tons of candy.
Big Mom in the New World on Whole Cake Island is waiting for sweets from Fish-Man Island. Bobbin arrives right after Big Mom eats some of her crew. Bobbin tells her that he destroyed the island and smelled sweet when he did it. Then she learns that Fish-Man Island won’t give her candy. He calls out to Tamago and Pekoms and they don’t dare answer, neither does Luffy. Luffy tells her that he ate the rest of the candy and is willing to give her the treasure in return. Tamago sees the vast amount of treasure they have and thinks it would be a good idea to keep it. Big Mom refuses and says she will go after Luffy in the new world. Luffy claims that he will beat her up in the New World and claim Fish-Man Island as his own territory.
After the banquet is over, the Straw Hats are thrilled to hear that they will be able to keep all the stolen treasure. Franky says that will turn them into tycoon pirates in no time. When Chopper suggests looking for Caribou along with Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, Usopp tells him that he just found out that Caribou is worth over 200,000,000 Beli. On the island, the group finds Caribou and Zoro is disappointed that Luffy’s punch was all it took to defeat him. The three are excited to see how much treasure has spilled out of Caribou’s body. They load it into the bags and Luffy asks Zoro which way the town was, prompting Sanji to decide to take a different route. Luffy tells them they need a flying fish.
The scene changes to the Candy Factory, where a leftist minister is discussing their monthly candy payment problem with an off-screen character. The man, a lion named Pekoms, reminds the minister that the deal was that he would make candy for Big Mom and in return the island would not be destroyed. She then asks if the minister knew what kind of person Big Mom is and says that anyone who angers her is doomed. A group of people gathered to one side are all thinking how cute Pekoms looks when he threatens. At the same time, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji walk by and notice the crowd. They go and Luffy says hello to everyone there. Luffy mentions that the best part of the feast was the sweets made in the factory. As the crowd tries to tell Luffy to be quiet, Pekoms asks who they are. Flipping through the book, he recognizes Luffy and asks him what he meant when he talked about sweets. Luffy tells him that he just ate a lot of them at the banquet. This causes Pekoms to become angry with the Minister of the Left, who tries to tell him that there is an explanation when Luffy realizes that the lion can talk. Another character then tells Pekoms that threatening people left and right won’t accomplish anything and that they have to send the candy by tomorrow so it arrives in time for the tea party in four days. A long-legged man in an eggshell and a cup with a hat saucer introduces himself as Tamago.
As Tamago gets up, he asks them if they ate the candy that was made in the factory, Zoro thinks it’s a compass, and Luffy tells him that they ate it and would like more. Tamago then explains that the island belongs to one of the four emperors, Charlotte Linlin, and the flag on the factory shows that the island is under her protection. Luffy deduces that she is a good person and says he wants to meet her. Tamago tells him it’s purely business. The island gives her ten tons of candy a month, and she gives them her flag, adding that Linlin loves candy more than anything else. Tamago explains that the candy from Fish-Man Island is one of his captain’s favorites and they can wait until tomorrow to collect the candies. The Minister of the Left again explains that the cooking equipment at the factory has been destroyed and they will need two weeks to get everything up and running again, which the Baron tells him is unacceptable. Sanji then becomes indignant and asks why he can’t just wait. Zoro adds that even though he’s the emperor, their captain doesn’t have a lot of balls. Tamago clarifies that Big Mom is a woman, which is why she had no balls to begin with. Sanji vaguely imagines what the woman looks like and asks what would happen if the sweets were late. Tamago replies that the treaty will be dissolved and the Big Mom Pirates would destroy the island. Luffy is furious that someone would destroy the island for candy, especially since he and his crew just saved it.
The scene changes to the New World, a place called Whole Cake Island, where someone notes that Big Mom looks excited. He replies that he is looking forward to the tea party in a few days and is looking forward to the candy from Fish-Man Island. He then asks the person if they are excited, to which they say yes. Big Mom then tells him to continue his excitement in her stomach and promptly eats him. Three-Eyed Girl sits uncomfortably in a chair while Big Mom chews. Subordinate Bobbin arrives and Big Mom asks him how the operation went. She is happy when Bobbin tells her that the whole thing burned down, saying that the baked candy from that country was the best and must have smelled good since it was burned to the ground. Bobbin asks if she has any snacks as Big Mom goes on to say that anyone who doesn’t give her candy must be killed and that she likes dishonesty as much as bad candy. Bobbin then remembers that he should have told her that Fish-Man Island might not be able to come up with their payment for the month. The shot changes to show a huge woman leaning forward in a chair, surprised by what Bobbin just said. Bobbin explains that he just got a call from Pekoms and asks her if they should burn the island too. Big Mom then orders an immediate call to the island.
As Luffy expresses his anger at the destruction of an entire island for candy, Den Den Mushi rings. Pekoms realizes it must be their captain since he just reported the situation. Everyone nearby
