Long Summary
Aboard the Going Merry, Gan Fall begins to explain Sky Warfare to Sanji, Nami and Usopp. He demonstrated this by making Sanji hit the Impact dial with a large hammer but nothing happened, Gan Fall tells Sanji to press the tip of the dial and a blast came from the shell. Gan Fall further explained how some other dials are used for warfare. When asked about Mantra, Gan Fall told them it is difficult to explain however, he was able to explain some basics to them and told them what the hearing capabilities of the priests and Enel was.

Enel is seen at his shrine and he counted the total number of people in his supposed survival game as totaling 81. He asked one of his advisers to predict the number of people that will be left in three hours and the man says that he is underestimating the power of people in the battle. Enel however, predicted that 5 people will be left after three hours.

The Shandian warriors have made their way into the Upper Yard forest and found themselves trapped in Shura's Ordeal of String. Just as Shura was explaining to the warriors how they got tangled, he felt the presence of Wiper and both began battle. Just as Shura began his attack, Wiper threw his weapon and shield away and took Shura's hit. At that point, he defeated Shura using the Reject dial. Enel's commenting indicates that Shura was defeated as a result of underestimating Sky Weapons. Meawhile, God's Enforcers have also been mobilized by Yama.

Luffy making his way through the forest had an attempted attack on him by an enforcer however, Luffy punched him and knocked the enforcer out and went on his way. Luffy then encountered Wiper who has decided to eliminate Luffy because Luffy refused to leave the Island. Both of them then prepared to fight each other.
