Long Summary
The G-5 marines has drawn a line between the Straw Hats and the Marines, saying that it is a line between evil and justice. Smoker thinks it is stupid and says that he just didn't want them to mingle with pirates. Meanwhile, he has managed to contact the G-5 base and says that a ship will come pick them up soon.

Luffy converses with Brownbeard, who intend to turn himself in. He says that if the Marines capture them, they can get cured and that a life in prison is far better than being a guinea pig of Caesar.

Franky, and some other G-5 Marines are repairing the SAD Tanker together, as one of its mast got broken.

Meanwhile, Chopper is yelling out that Law is a murderer. Brook screams that he himself is a murderer as well, as Kinemon had already been dead, but Brook accidentally broke him into pieces. Suddenly, the "pieces" crack and Kinemon rises, screaming. Sanji kicks him, asking why is he alive. Kinemon is revealed to be alive, and Momonosuke transforms from his dragon form to his human form and the father and son hug. Kinemon conjures some clothes on him just before Momonosuke faints from starvation.

Trafalgar Law steps out from the cabin, saying that he just finished cutting up the children's bodies. Chopper runs in and sees that the children are okay. Tashigi comes in and says that the marines will take care of them, much to most of the kids' displeasure, who want to see the other Straw Hats. Nami talks a little bit about them on the deck, and says that the kids should be saved by a strong marine woman.

At the same time, Sanji is cooking some food, Newkama Kenpo technique, 99 vital recipe, which he learned to make during the timeskip. It is Offal Soup with Sea Pig Meal. Finally, the food is served, but Momonosuke is too proud to eat. Therefore, Kinemon starts eating, and says that it's okay to accept the food.

The Marines and pirates all start a party despite Law's sense of urgency. Smoker then starts to talk to Law, where it is revealed that Law told Luffy that they are going to try to defeat Kaido of the Yonko. Luffy states that the order doesn't matter since he's going to defeat all four of them.
