In this action-packed episode, multiple storylines and characters take center stage as the battle on Onigashima rages on. Sanji faces off against Queen and is reminded of his past with Germa. His exoskeleton and newfound strength are put to the test as Queen unleashes a barrage of lasers at him. The fight forces Sanji to reflect on his own identity and the consequences of using the Raid Suit, which may have triggered the mutation within him.
Meanwhile, X. Drake encounters Apoo, who tries to persuade him to join forces to defeat the ultimate victor of the battle. Despite Apoo's strategic approach, Drake refuses the offer, unwilling to ally himself with a coward. This moment highlights Drake's principles and his disdain for working with those he deems untrustworthy.
As Nami, Speed, Lysop, and Tama ascend the staircase between floors, they come across Kinemon’s severed legs. Through an odd form of communication, Kinemon reveals his and Kiku’s dire situation. Lysop decides to help Kinemon, showcasing the Straw Hat Pirates' camaraderie and their willingness to support one another in times of need.
On the third floor, Brook and Robin are cornered by CP0 agents Guernica and Maha. The arrival of these agents underscores Nico Robin’s importance and the potential consequences of her capture. The tension is palpable as the stakes grow ever higher.
In a parallel narrative, it’s revealed that Kinemon survived only because he was incompletely restored by Law’s demonic powers. He eavesdrops on Orochi and Kanjuro as Kanjuro, in his final act, creates a burning, misshapen specter. The destructive flames threaten everyone in the castle, including Orochi, who seems indifferent to his own fate.
This episode is an emotional rollercoaster filled with intense battles, shifting alliances, and the ever-present threat of CP0. The characters are pushed to their physical and psychological limits as they confront their pasts, reconsider their loyalties, and fight for survival. The interwoven storylines captivate the audience, leaving them eager to see how each narrative unfolds in the coming episodes.
