Long Summary
Sabo defeats several guards within Pangea Castle when Jewelry Bonney appears before him, to his surprise. She tells him that since they are after the same thing, they should just work together now. Sabo accepts, revealing that he heard that Bartholomew Kuma had a daughter. Once he gets the keys to the slaves’ collars, Bonney tells Sabo that she has been keeping tabs on the Revolutionary Army’s exploits, so she knows that they are trustworthy to care for her father’s body. Sabo hands the keys to one of Karasu’s soot crows and he tells him to tell Morley to get Kuma and all the other slaves to Headquarters as fast as possible. As Karasu accepts the keys, he tells Sabo to be careful. Sabo then asks Bonney what she will do next, and she tells him she will journey to Egghead Island to see if Dr. Vegapunk can undo his alterations to Kuma’s mind.

Before she can tell him what she will do if Vegapunk is unable to do so, Sabo senses some guards and the two hide from them. The guards comment that they are short-staffed, and one of them says it is because some guards saw the “Phantom Room”, which gets Sabo’s attention. After the two exit the castle, Sabo wishes Bonney luck and she tells him to look after her father for her.

Elsewhere, the Five Elders ask King Cobra what he wants to speak to them about. Cobra tells them that he knows the World Government was founded 800 years ago when twenty monarchs came together, along with their families, to live as one clan, the World Nobles, and rule over their world. At first, the twenty monarchs treated each other equally and installed an Empty Throne to ensure that no dictator would try to rise up from them, placing weapons before the throne to symbolize the vow of never sitting on it. Afterwards, new royal families were hand-picked to rule the nations the founders could not watch over anymore, and to ensure a smooth transition, all references to the previous monarchs were removed from their home countries.

Cobra says that the sole exception was the monarch of his own kingdom: Queen Nefertari Lili, who chose to remain ruling over her people in Arabasta, which is why there are only nineteen weapons at the feet of the Empty Throne. The Elders confirm his story and ask what his point is, and Cobra says that through all the accounts chronicling the period after the Void Century he managed to scrounge together, Lili’s name is not mentioned once. To Cobra, he believes Queen Lili never made it back home, and the ruler of the country ended up being her younger brother. To that, he asks if they know what exactly happened to her. Saint Jaygarcia Saturn says that because it was so long ago, the details of what exactly happened to her are lost to the annals of history. Cobra then asks the Five Elders what the secret name “D.” means. When one asks why he asks, Cobra reveals that a short letter was passed down from generation to generation by Lili.

Outside in the public courtyard, Saint Charlos makes his move on Shirahoshi, having Kuma tie her up in chains. Charlos starts dancing over his “accomplishment” and gushes over the idea of riding her everywhere and harming her if she defies him. She starts begging for someone to save her but the bystanders are too scared to interfere and they all run away pretending they did not see a thing. Her brother Fukaboshi rushes to save her, apologizing to her for looking away earlier, which allowed Charlos to seize her. His brothers Ryuboshi and Manboshi join him, but Charlos simply tells Kuma to blast them as he proclaims that he can buy everyone’s silence with money since he only considers the Fish-Men and Merfolk races only fish.

Rebecca and Leo see Shirahoshi being assaulted and Sai asks Saint Donquixote Mjosgard if he can hit Charlos, to which Mjosgard says he can and he will take responsibility for it. Mjosgard tells Fukaboshi to restrain himself since he is of royal blood, but for Leo and Sai, since the two are pirates, he thinks it is easier for them to escape since they are bound to no country. Charlos tries to blast Mjosgard for hitting him earlier, but Leo and Sai attack Charlos simultaneously and practically flatten him with their attacks. All the nearby people start panicking over the possibility that Charlos is dead, while Morley subdues Kuma, begging they go home together. Karasu arrives with the keys, and Morley says they should all head down now.

Meanwhile, in the throne room, Im appears before the Five Elders (who were surprised because Cobra was still present) and sits down on the Empty Throne, horrifying Cobra as Im says Lili’s name.
