Summary:
Franky manages to defeat Sasaki by targeting his weak spot, his stomach. Meanwhile, Robin faces Black Maria’s illusory mist.
Yamato and Kaidou continue to duel on the roof, with Yamato officially rejecting Kaidou’s offer to become Shogun. Meanwhile, Franky points out that Sasaki cut his stomach despite his hardness and tries to slash his stomach again. However, Sasaki avoids it and the two begin fencing. Franky is eventually forced to flee and unleashes the General Cannon on Sasaki. Sasaki dodges the attack and attacks Franky, but in the process becomes vulnerable to Franky’s radical beam to the stomach.
Back on the roof, Kaidou bemoans Yamato for eating the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami, and again requests that Yamato become Shogun under him. Yamato refuses again and starts shooting ice at Kaido, though Kaidou counters the ice shots.
Inside Onigashima, Brook and Robin walk through the fog and Nico Olvia suddenly appears in front of them. Saul and Clover quickly follow him, pointing in the direction of Robin. He reminisces about his time with the three of them and remembers their deaths. However, he soon realizes that these are only mere illusions, which are brought down by Nure-Onna, Kunyun, and Tenjo-Sagari, who embodied these illusions.
