Summary:
The nine red scabbards come upon Orochi and Fukuroku, and Orochi tries to defeat the wounded samurai himself in his Yamata no Orochi form, but the scabbards cut off six of his heads at once. The pods then continue on, with the exception of Raizo, who stays behind to confront Fukuroku.
On the roof of the Skull Dome, Kaidou and Big Mom unleash a monstrously powerful combo attack, but Zoro is able to block it long enough to allow the supernovas to escape. Luffy then attacks Kaido, but the Emperor overpowers him with his fire breath and kanabo. Meanwhile, Law is able to teleport Zeus into a metal box made by Kid, Zoro uses the Foxfire style to cut Prometheus into small pieces, and Killer attacks Napoleon. Kid then shoots metal spikes at Big Mom, and even though she punches him, he then deflects the scrap he attached to her to blow her up, allowing Law to hit her with a rock in mid-air. The rock sends Big Mom flying away from Onigashima and she falls down to the ocean without her special friends to help save her.
Inside the castle, the Beast Pirates are trying to put out the fires Kurozumi Orochi started. However, Orochi and Fukurokuju end up surprisingly encountering the Nine Red Sheaths. Fukurokuju advises Orochi to back off and allow himself to deal with the samurai, as they don’t realize he’s already died once today. Orochi declines saying that if he came out now he would be surrounded, while also saying that Kaidou has softened them up so he believes it will be an easy fight for him. He laughs at the servants and what’s left and asks if Kanjur’s true loyalty was a surprise. He also admits that he was surprised to learn that Kyoshiro was actually Denjiro, but says that he will overlook this betrayal when he transforms. He tells the seven that they don’t scare him in their injured state and kills them as payback for haunting him as ghosts for twenty years. However, in an instant the samurai cut off six of his heads and told him that they had no time to waste with him and he would be judged in hell. As they all continue, Raizo asks Fukuroku if he’s serious about avenging Orochi and how surprised he is to see him defending a dead fool. Fukurokuju in turn mocks Raizo and the others for fighting for Oden before telling Raizo that they were destined to clash before choosing sides.
On top of the Skull Dome, Big Mom suggests to Kaidou that they use a combo attack to finish off the five pirates. Kid questions why Law can’t simply use his Devil Fruit abilities to send one of them away, causing Law to reply that if he could, he would have already, but the reason he can’t is because both of their Haki they are too strong for him to move directly. Kid says they’ll just tear them apart as Luffy warns everyone of the coming attack. Kaidou and Big Mom prepare their weapons while insulting each other and unleashing a flying attack called Hakai. To their surprise, Zoro tries to block the attack and tells everyone to run. The deflected attack destroys a chunk of the island, but everyone survives, which the two emperors notice.
Law asks Zoro if he’s okay and he says he’s barely. Kid tells Zoro that he couldn’t buy them much time, but also thanks him for blocking the attack. Meanwhile, Luffy attacks Kaido. When Kaidou dodges the blow, Luffy smiles and asks Kaido if he’s dodging because he knows it can hurt him. Kaidou lunges at Luffy with his kanabo while Luffy uses Haki to protect himself. Kaidou then fires a Bolo Breath at Luffy, who dodges, but Kaidou jumps into the air and attacks Luffy with Kosanze Ragunaraku, knocking Luffy to the ground. Meanwhile, Kid tells Law that he has finished creating a box, which Law immediately uses to capture Dio. Zoro and Killer then take on Big Mom’s other friends. Zoro hacks Prometheus to pieces with Homura Saki: Rokudo no Tsuji, preventing him from reforming, while Killer knocks Napoleon out of her hand and then drives the sword away. Exasperated, Big Mom demands the friends return as the Kids Punk Pistols fire at her. Big Mom questions if the five seriously thought taking out her friends would give them an advantage as she shakes off Kid’s attack and slams him into the ground.
However, Kid attaches some scrap to Big Mom and uses Repel to levitate her into the air, while Law uses Takt to blast a boulder at her. She asks what it’s about, just as she realizes she’s been knocked off the roof and down to the sea below. He tries to get Dio to help, but he can’t because he’s stuck in the box.
