The latest episode of One Piece has sent fans into a frenzy. Momonosuke is struggling to produce flame clouds as strong as Kaido's, while Yamato has a different mission. Yamato transforms into his hybrid form and leaps onto the stone wall of Onigashima to defuse the explosives and prevent a catastrophe. Although Momonosuke pleads with Yamato not to leave him alone, Yamato trusts in Momonosuke's abilities and encourages him to keep trying.
Meanwhile, Guernica receives a call from Rob Lucci in the CP0 room of Onigashima. He reports that Kaido has been attacked by the pink dragon, which is suspected to be the work of Vegapunk's artificial Devil Fruit. Rob Lucci sees no issue with the pirates destroying each other and orders that Wano Country be placed under the World Government's control if Kaido is defeated. Additionally, capturing Nico Robin remains their top priority.
On the 3rd floor, Robin is recovering but is still too weak to fight alone. Brook protects her from the enemy troops charging at them in large numbers.
Outside Onigashima, Momonosuke continues trying to create flame clouds. In the main hall, Queen attacks Sanji with a laser beam. Sanji dodges and counters with a flame kick, but Queen takes it effortlessly. Then, Queen assaults Sanji with her dinosaur strength, and her muscle mass slowly crushes Sanji. Queen is determined to kill Sanji but accidentally fires rockets at herself. Sanji survives the ordeal, but his body is deformed in several places, leaving everyone wondering if he's okay. Sanji fears he might become like his emotionless brothers. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next episode.
