Short Summary
Sukiyaki shows Robin and Law the Road Ponyglyph and tells them more about Wano Country's history, including the ancient civilization and the location of Pluton. Meanwhile, the Nine Red Scabbards and Momonosuke battle against Ryokugyu. Momonosuke successfully uses a fire-breathing attack against Ryokugyu for the first time, and with the help of Shanks forces the admiral to retreat.

Long Summary
As the Straw Hat Pirates and Heart Pirates continue to participate in the Flower Capital's various festivities, Sukiyaki directs Robin and Law to a passage leading underground. The passage leads deep into the sea, showing an ancient lost civilization on the sea floor. The predecessor to the current Wano Country, the civilization was flooded by rainwater eight centuries prior after they erected boundary walls around the country. Sukiyaki shows Robin and Law to the Road Poneglyph at the bottom of the staircase, and reveals that Pluton is even further underground, but the only way to reveal it would be to open the country's borders by destroying the physical boundary walls.

In the outskirts of the Flower Capital, the Nine Red Scabbards continue their battle against Ryokugyu, but are overwhelmed by his ability. Momonosuke orders Yamato not to participate in the combat, but becomes cornered by Ryokugyu's vines. Remembering Luffy, he successfully manages to breath fire in a similar manner to Kaidou's Bolo Breath, destroying Ryokugyu's wooden golem form and forcing him to revert to his human form.

At that moment, Shanks, a short distance from the coast, sends a powerful wave of Haoshoku Haki at Ryokugyu from a distance, overwhelming him. Submitting to Shanks' Haki, Ryokugyu agrees to retreat, just as the Red Hair Pirates' ship also departs from the country.
