Summary:
Kawamatsu and Sanji try to save Momonosuke from Kanjuro, but Kanjuro holds them off with his artwork as he flies Momonosuke away on a bird. Despite his fear and lack of strength, Momonosuke assures the alliance that he will find a way to escape on his own. The remaining Beasts Pirates ship retreats, only to continue attacking from a distance with ranged cannons. However, Jinbe then attacks the ship and reveals himself to have come from Totto Land alive as promised.
While the samurai congratulate Kin’emon on his ingenuity, the Sheaths (except Denjiro) are suspicious and pester him to tell the truth. He shrugs it off by preparing to fight to his possible death as his allies assure him that he will not fall alone.
Kanjuro decides to retreat and take Momonosuke to Orochi while Kawamatsu dives into the water to return to the docks. However, Kanjuro holds him back with his brush before conjuring a crane and fleeing on its back, claiming to find Hiyori and dispose of her now that he knows she’s still alive. Kawamatsu is enraged by this, as is Kin’emon about Kanjuro using terrible drawings for them in their time together.
On Sunny, the Straw Hats determine that Kanjuro was a spy and decide to defend him. Sanji is about to chase them with his Sky Walk, but Kanjuro creates and fires a cloud of ink. With this technique, which Kanjuro calls Ukiyo Yudachi Ezu, a spray of ink rains down on the alliance, hitting their allies and ships. Kanjuro then mocks Oden and Toki’s legacy as well as Momonosuke’s cowardice. Through tears, Momonosuke tells his allies to continue fighting while he escapes alone, but inwardly doubts it.
Hearing this, Luffy shows Momonosuke crying (the samurai is angered by his courage), but Luffy promises to save him no matter what. Momonosuke touches before Kanjuro flies them to Onigashima. The battle of the seas continues and the Sheaths regroup with Shinobu and Denjiro on the Polar Tang. Law resents them using his ship as they thank him despite his protests.
The Beasts Pirates battleship begins sinking the rebel ships with ranged guns when the Straw Hats decide to advance on her. Everyone on the battlefield is aware of the disadvantage, even if it doesn’t affect Kid. Soon the battleship is sunk when a voice is heard introducing himself as the newest recruit of the Straw Pirates. It turns out to be none other than Jinbe. Law is shocked by Jinbe’s presence, while Kid is shocked to hear that the former sea warrior has joined Luffy’s crew.
After reintroducing himself, Jinbe tells Luffy that he kept his word to return alive to join the raid on Onigashi, and the Straw Hats were happy that he did.
