As the alliance prepares for a major battle in Wano, Zoro takes on a powerful new sword with unique challenges, while Luffy continues his Haki training. Hiyori's survival is confirmed, and the group consolidates forces for the impending conflict, heightening anticipation and stakes.
Hiyori parts ways with Zoro and Kawamatsu, and the two later inform Momonosuke and the Akazaya Nine with him of her survival. Hitetsu presents Ame No Hebakiri and Enma to the group, with Momonosuke asking Hitetsu to hold on to Ame No Hebakiri, as he's hesitant to wield his father's blade. Zoro receives Enma and tries out his new sword on a tree, but the sword ends up drawing more Haki than necessary, creating an overly-powerful slash cutting off a piece of a nearby cliff as his crewmates quickly become worried as the sword draws significant quantities of Armament Haki from his arm causing it to shrivel. However, Zoro manages to bring the Haki back into his arm. Hitetsu explains that the Enma is considered impossible to wield because it always uses excessive amounts of the wielder's Haki. Still, Zoro to keep the blade. Luffy continues training his Armament Haki and Zoro trains with his new sword. Momonosuke tells Zoro while they are training that he was told not to say the word "Sunacchi", and Zoro tells him that he picked it up after hearing the old man in his home village using it, while admitting to never using the phrase himself. Meanwhile, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance adds more numbers to their cause and finish up with their preparations. On the day before the Fire Festival, Momonosuke and his group of retainers march to the rendezvous point to meet up with their allies. The Straw Hats stay behind by Yasuie and Pedro's graves. Hitetsu seems amazed that Zoro is managing to tame the Enma. He reveals that he was the one who crafted Sandai Kitetsu and that the reason Zoro can use Oden's sword is because the Wado Ichimonji and Enma were created by the same person, Shimotsuki Kouzaburou. Zoro states that he will turn Enma into a Black Blade. Back at Udon, Babanuki calls Orochi and lies to him, stating that there was no trouble at Udon and the situation is under control. However, Orochi somehow reveals that he has the new information about the rendezvous point change and that Hiyori was alive. Luffy finally masters Ryuo, demonstrating his new skills by blasting a tree as the curtains close on the Land of Wano Arc's second act.
