Short Summary
Jinbe and Neptune have a discussion at the Ryugu Palace about cutting off their connections to Big Mom and Neptune has found the flag he would wish to use to defend his island in case he loses Big Mom's, the flag of the Straw Hat Pirates. The Minister of the Right comes and alerts Neptune that an explosion cause by a bomb inside of the tamatebako will occur when it is opened. Luffy returns to the palace and tells everyone that he gave all the treasure he had to Big Mom and that he'd fight her. In consequence, everyone is shocked and Luffy, Zoro and Sanji get beaten up by Nami. Caribou wakes up and tries to find the treasure he stole. He sees that Pekoms has it and tries fighting him only to be defeated by one punch. In the New World, the pirates that just escaped from Hody's slave army are attacked by the Marines.
