Full Plot Summary

The Heart Pirates find a sinking Luffy, bringing him to the surface on their submarine. They begin trying to treat him, forcing the water he's swallowed out of his stomach. Meanwhile, as Shinobu and Momonosuke fall from Onigashima, Shinobu uses a kite, and the pair glide to the Wano mainland. However, when they land, Momonosuke bursts into tears, worried over the Kin'emon and Kiku. Back on Onigashima, Ulti is terrorizing Tama when she is suddenly attacked by Nami. Zeus offers to send a lightning blast, but Nami argues that it would hurt Tama; however, Usopp is able to separate her, and Nami takes the opportunity to make a cloud, but Zeus becomes the cloud. Nami then launches a Lightning Blast at Ulti who tries to dodge the strike, but Zeus redirects himself to hit her, knocking the Tobi Roppo unconscious. Panicking, Bao Huang accidentally announces Ulti's and Page One's defeats over the Marys system, causing panic across the Beast Pirates. Taking advantage of her panicking, Usopp incapacitates Horseman and Bao Huang, informing Tama that the latter works as a transmitter. As the allies across the island are overwhelmed with numbers, Tama speaks into the transmitter, converting the Gifters tamed by her power into allies. Elsewhere, Yamato informs Kaido of her decision to cut their familiar ties. Kaido tries to persuade her otherwise, stating that he defeated both Luffy and Momonosuke, but Yamato refuses to change her mind. Yamato declares her intention to set out to sea, stating that she will force Kaido to leave Wano; however, Kaido refuses to allow her to be a pirate elsewhere, stating she must stay in Wano as he transforms into his Human-Beast Form. The two clash, with Yamato intending on forcing Kaido to remain on the rooftop until Luffy returns.
