Full Plot Summary

spoilers

Yamato tells Luffy how Ace came to Wano for Kaido's head and mentioned Luffy a lot. Yamato also admits to have wanted to join Ace's crew but couldn't. On the top of the castle, Law and his crew break away from the group to achieve their own goals. However, the remaining samurai are attacked by headless samurai on horseback, deducing they are drawings made by Kanjuro. Kanjuro comes out of the castle door with some Beast Pirates and confronts them, revealing what happened to Momonosuke. Momonosuke attempted to escape by cutting his ropes using a knife. Although he managed to cut Kanjuro's hand, he was brutally beaten unconscious and taken to Orochi. Kanjuro finishes by announcing Momonosuke's public execution at the party. Outraged and feeling betrayed, the samurai wage a battle against Kanjuro's forces. Cat Viper has replaced his severed hand with a double-barrel gun and Dogstorm replaced his leg with a sword, so they battle fiercely against their enemies. However, Kikunojo still attempts to sympathize with Kanjuro, believing that there was still some good in him. After Kanjuro denounces the samurai for the last time, she enters the battle. Nami's group is chased by Prometheus down the halls, and are further attacked by the homies. Nami and Carrot are captured, but upon Nami's insistence, Shinobu flees to rescue Momonosuke. Zeus also attempts to intervene, but is grabbed by Big Mom's obscured hand. Back in the attic, Yamato explains that she wishes to join Luffy's crew and be free like Oden, but Kaido fitted her with shackles that would explode if she left the island, and while Yamato admits she is unsure if Kaido would kill her, she is afraid to test it. Luffy offers to remove her handcuffs for her, but they are interrupted by Kaido's speech from the Performance Floor. Kaido announces to the crowd his official alliance with the Big Mom Pirates to gather the Ancient Weapons to use against the World Government. In the hallway, Big Mom attacks Zeus before personally crashing into the party hall.
