From the Decks of the World: The 500,000,000 Man Arc Finale: "At a wedding that takes place within the ruins of a certain island"

Shanks reads the news of the Straw Hats' new bounties while attending a wedding.

Short Summary
The fight between Luffy and Charlotte Cracker continues, after Luffy's Gear Fourth breaches Cracker's biscuit armour to reveal his true form. Cracker reveals that he ate the Bisu Bisu no Mi, and can manipulate biscuits to form animated soldiers at will. Cracker asks Luffy if he understands why he'll never see Sanji again, but Luffy refuses to back down and they resume their fight.

Elsewhere in the Seducing Woods, Nami and Pound, seated atop King Baum, threaten the Woods' homies. Holding Big Mom's vivre card, Nami asks the homies if they're more afraid of Cracker or Big Mom, but the homies reply that Nami scares them most of all.

Inside Brûlée's Mirror World, Chopper tells Carrot to call him "Brother Chopper" from now on, as he has discovered a way to use her mirror power to their advantage.

In Sweet City, Brook and Pedro have hidden themselves within one of Cracker's biscuit soldiers, and are waiting for it to return to Whole Cake Chateau.

The next morning, Big Mom receives updates on the wedding cake and the Straw Hats inside the Woods. She also asks about the location of the other Vinsmoke siblings, and is informed that they've just arrived.

In the Germa Kingdom, the Germa 66 soldiers celebrate the triumphant arrival of Vinsmoke Ichiji and Vinsmoke Niji. While the rest of his family are pleased, Sanji is seen trembling from the castle balcony as he observes his older brothers' return.
