Caribou's Kehihihihi in the New World Vol. 3 - "In the end, kehihi(TxT)"

Short Summary
The brokers in the New World continue to look on, surprised that Caesar managed to capture so many renowned individuals. Amongst them are Kid and Killer, who themselves have planned an alliance with Apoo and Hawkins, albeit reluctantly.

On Punk Hazard, Law begins setting their counterattack in motion. He asks Franky to burn a nearby ship to creating a smokescreen, then reveals that he had swapped the some of the kairoseki chains in the laboratory with normal ones, allowing him to break free. He switches Smoker and Tashigi back into their original bodies, asking for their assistance in return for their lives.

Outside, the rest of the Straw Hats and Kinemon continue to flee from Shinokuni. Sanji, Zoro, Brook and Kinemon catch up to the dragon, while Usopp and Nami ride on Brownbeard. Kinemon and Zoro cut through the iron shutters, and all of them reach the laboratory at the same time. Luffy notes that everyone is present, and is ready to begin the counterattack.

Long Summary
Caesar brags about how he was able to capture a Shichibukai, the captain of the once again active Straw Hat Piratses, the "Devil Child" Nico Robin, and the great Vice Admiral Smoker. In the New World, a broker is surprised that Caesar managed to capture all of them. Killer tries to point them out to Eustass Kid, and Kid seems amused to Luffy's return to the public eye. He then tells Killer that watching is meaningless, and how he doesn't think Killer ought to work as a broker anyway. Kid also mentions he is surprised about how Law is really was planning something all along as infoboxes show the pirates' new bounties. Kid asks if the poeople came, and Killer tells him they have and that he was surprised they came at all. Before entering the room, Killer reminds Kid to be friendly, and Kid rudely tells him to shut up. Inside are Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins. Apoo, standing over one of Kid's badly beaten subordinates, tells Kid that it feels nostalgic for him to see his ugly face. Kid instantly gets angry, asking what gave him the right to trash someone's hideout. Apoo replies that when he gets invited by the enemy, he comes expecting a fight. An infobox next to him shows his new bounty. As the two challenge each other, Hawkins declares how foolish this meeting is and that he is leaving. Killer asks him to wait as he steps between Kid and Apoo, reminding them that their three crews came together to try and form an alliance and asks that they at least try to discuss it.

On Punk Hazard, Luffy is curious about Law's idea. The Marines panic about the gas. Law asks if anyone in the cage can burn things. Luffy tells him Franky can, mentioning he even has a beam cannon. Franky says he requires his hands to use his Radical Beam, and can only use Coup de Boo right now. Law asks him to burn the battleship, which he does using Franky Fireball. Caesar watches this, and wonders what they're doing, calling them desperate, saying their corpses will be useful later. Outside in the cage, the smoke from the fire is surrounding the cage. Law removes his chains, saying they needed the smokescreen to hide the fact that they are escaping. Luffy asks how Law could take off kairoseki chains. Law explains that they were normal chains that he put in the lab so he could escape in case he was captured. Law then cuts the pirates free, and wonders aloud what he should do with Smoker and Tashigi as he puts them back in their own bodies. Tashigi realizes that her breasts are exposed and tries to hide them with her knees, begging Law to let her out of the chains. Law tells Smoker he has no reason to save him, but if Vergo loses his position due to Smoker returning alive, that would be good. He tells Smoker he will only free him on the condition that he forget everything he learned about him and Joker. On a balcony below the cage, Luffy asks Law how they get inside. Law asks how Luffy broke out, and Franky tells him the mesh isn't made of kairoseki.

Meanwhile, Zoro, Sanji, Brook, and Kinemon are still barely outrunning the approaching gas. Kinemon tells them that the comedic way they are running isn't helping them. Sanji is trailing behind due to Nami's body being at its limit. He instinctively clutches his chest, and in doing so puts his hand on Nami's breast. Sanji's eyes light up and moments later he catches up with the dragon and captures it. Nearby, Nami and Usopp are riding on Brownbeard. Nami apologizes to him for making him carry them in his injured state, saying they have to save the kids, hoping they hadn't eaten the candy yet. Brownbeard tells them it is not a big deal as he has to save his men anyway. They look down and see the dragon outrunning the gas. In front of the lab, the Marines are relieved to see one of the shutters to the lab opening. Inside the lab, Caesar's subordinates are panicking due to the shutter opening, asking who pulled the lever. Someone points up and the subordinates see Luffy, Robin, Law, Tashigi, and Smoker standing over them. Tashigi is happy to see everyone inside safely, Law wonders where his heart, Luffy remarks how interesting things are getting, and Smoker voices his reluctance about cooperating.

Outside the lab, Brownbeard, with dragon now attached to his tail and Zoro, Brook, Sanji, and Kinemon clinging to the dragon is running toward the now closing shutter. Zoro asks Kinemon if he can cut iron and the samurai replies that it is no problem. Zoro tells Brownbeard to keep running. The two swordsman cut down the door and Brownbeard barrels through, all of them landing in a heap. Everyone inside is terrified now that the gas can get in the lab. Luffy is happy to see that everyone arrived, and ordered everyone to start fighting back.
