Full Plot Summary

Yamato shows Momonosuke his father's journal and tells him how she found it. He reveals that Whitebeard, Roger, and Oden predicted that the next generation of pirates would advance to the New World. He also thought Ace would lead the charge until his death, as he recalled Ace telling him about Luffy and his dream. Yamato tells Ace that another person that knew Oden had the same exact dream (unbeknownst to Ace was Roger). She then made Ace's Vivre Card and gave it to him, telling him that they will meet again through it. However, during the Summit War, Ace was killed in Marineford. As he died, Yamato could only watch as Ace's Vivre Card disintegrated before her eyes. While overcome with grief, Yamato remembered when Ace told her that his brother, Luffy, would rise as a powerful pirate. Yamato resolved to wait for Luffy to come to save the country from Kaido. In the present, Yamato gives Oden's journal to Momonosuke and explains how Oden predicted the next group of pirates would defeat Kaido in his stead. Kid, Killer, Law and Zoro reach the rooftop to confront Kaido and Big Mom, with Luffy soon joining them. Luffy notices something and starts walking toward the two as Kaido tells Big Mom what Luffy told him previously. Big Mom also adds how he talked back at her and how he destroyed her castle, so she wants an apology. To their surprise though, Luffy ignores them and walks past them to check on the Akazaya Nine and Kin'emon asks Luffy to save Wano, who agrees citing that it is the land of his friends. An annoyed Kaido proceeds to raise his club to strike Luffy, who asks Law to move everyone away with his Devil Fruit powers, which he does so. Luffy then jumps high into the air dodging Kaido's strike and remembering all the people who made the rebellion possible, Luffy creates a Ryuo-imbued combination of the Elephant Gun and Red Hawk; the Gum-Gum Red Roc and strikes Kaido down, shocking Big Mom. He then introduces himself to the as the one who will surpass the two of them and become the King of the Pirates.
