Summary:
Bluejam remembers when the king of Goa Kingdom told him on Den Den Mushi that he would make him a noble when he realized that the Nobles used a lie to manipulate him and his crew. Their ship catches fire, making it impossible for any of the Bluejam pirates to escape. The nobles pretend the fire isn’t happening and behave as they always do when explaining why the Gray Terminal is on fire. Bluejam then sees Ace and Luffy as the two try to escape. The pirates capture them and force Ace to tell Bluejam where his stolen treasure is. As the two resist being captured and killed with them, one of the Bluejam pirates draws his sword and wounds Luffy around the forehead. As Luffy is about to be killed, Ace unleashes his anger and manages to defeat all of the Bluejam Pirates (with Haki).
Surprised by Ace’s strength, Bluejam kicks him down and is ready to put a bullet through his skull. Dadan and her band of mountain bandits arrive just in time to protect Ace and Luffy as they are her responsibility. Dadan is seen with a battle ax knocking down Bluejam. The bandits take Luffy back to their hideout to treat his injuries. Ace refuses to go and decides to stay and finish the fight with Bluejam. Dadan decides to stay to help Ace out.
Meanwhile, the people in Gray Terminal are losing hope and think their lives are over. Suddenly there is an explosion and a road without flames appears. It leads to a ship where Dragon, Kuma and Ivankov are waiting. The dragon welcomes the humans to join him and the ship sails away.
The next day, it appears that Dadan and Ace never returned home from the night, and Goa Kingdom soldiers begin clearing the ruins of Gray Terminal. Luffy, despite being injured, decides to search for them. Still disgusted with his family and his newly adopted brother, Sabo still wonders if Ace and Luffy are okay. The ceremony begins as the World Nobles of the Great Line are due to arrive soon. A ship appears with a lone child on board. It’s Sabo and he’s heading for the sea. He departs the kingdom of Goa, noting how perfect the weather is for setting sail, and finally begins his dream of becoming a pirate.
