In the latest episode of One Piece, the status quo of the world is turned upside down by a wave of events. The Five Elders find themselves in a dilemma and are angered by Luffy's new bounty poster, which disregards their direct orders. Their attempts to recall the already distributed newspapers remain unsuccessful. Morgan, on the other hand, can hardly contain his excitement and arranges for the immediate worldwide dissemination of the groundbreaking news. The newspapers report not only on Luffy's new bounty but also on the defeats of the powerful pirate emperors Kaido and Big Mom. After the fall of the emperors, Luffy, Kid, and Law each receive an incredible bounty of 3 billion berries.

At the same time, the mood in Wano Country is subdued. While Kid's pirate crew cheers over their captain's new bounty, Kid himself storms off visibly upset toward the capital. Killer, sensing his intentions, announces that they will join the festivities there. The Heart Pirates are also cheerful but cautious, and their leader Law reflects on the consequences of their newfound fame.

In the palace of the Flower Capital, Jinbe enjoys a feast meant for many all by himself, as the others couldn't wait through the elaborate two-hour preparations and instead join the celebrations. There, Luffy, Chopper, and Yamato stroll from stall to stall, savoring the culinary offerings. They participate in games and encounter Brook and Hiyori, who are engrossed in a musical performance of a popular local song, "Moon Princess."

In a mysterious palace, Robin discovers an underground area guarded by Hitetsu. He reveals his true identity as Kouzuki Sukiyaki, the former shogun and father of Oden, and becomes troubled by Robin's knowledge of the legendary weapon Pluton, said to be hidden somewhere in the country.

In Udon's former prisoner camp, a confrontation of a different kind unfolds. Marine Admiral Ryokugyu appears and effortlessly subdues Kaido's already weakened forces, including the King and Queen, with his eerie Devil Fruit powers that transform his arms into lifeless roots.

Meanwhile, Luffy seizes the moment and gathers the citizens for a celebratory toast. Most, unaware of his identity, cheerfully join him. Kid interrupts them and hands them the latest newspaper. The headlines reveal a seismic shift in the power dynamics among pirates: new rulers have been proclaimed, including Shanks, Blackbeard, Buggy, and Luffy himself. But the episode ends with a warning: Admiral Ryokugyu is advancing to disrupt the festivities and eliminate anyone who resists.
