Full Plot Summary

Kaido and Yamato clash on the Onigashima rooftop, as Yamato attempts to cut ties with her father. However, Kaido refuses to accept it, instead trying to convince Yamato to become the Shogun of Wano under Kaido. Yamato states that she will continue to believe in Luffy, and that he will stall Kaido until he returns. He transforms into his Human-Beast Form, vowing to protect Wano. On the Performance Floor, Queen continues to attack Sanji, bragging about his powers as a cyborg, firing lasers from the mechanical claws on the end of his left arm, tail and braid. However, Sanji shows no real interest in them angering Queen. As Sanji continues to dodge the lasers, Zoro convinces Chopper and Miyagi to give him the miracle drug. Elsewhere, Gifters under Tama's influence begin assisting Franky, driving off the Beast Pirates who were surrounding him. As Franky and Sasaki fight, the two realize that they're both very durable, so Sasaki transforms into his Human-Beast Form. Back on the roof, Kaido continues trying to convince Yamato to stay by his side while expressing anger Yamato for eating her Devil Fruit. Yamato responds that she only ate it because she was starving and is also mad since she can no longer swim. Back in the Right Brain Tower, Sasaki draws his Trick Mechanism Screw Sword as Franky draws his sword. Franky instructs the surrounding Gifters to go help others, but Sasaki suddenly begins spinning his frill like a propeller, and begins to fly, charging forward and sending the Gifters flying. Franky is forced on the defensive, preparing the General Shield in anticipation of Sasaki's next charge. However, Sasaki accidentally spins his frills the wrong direction, throwing himself backwards instead. He follows up with a charge forward, successfully blowing one of the thrusters on the General Franky's shoulder. However, Franky managed to grab Sasaki, suplexing him into the ground. In the ocean, the Heart Pirates continue trying to wake up Luffy. He finally regains consciousness, and begins demanding meat.
