"It's On - The Special Operation to Bring Down Kaidou!" is the 918th episode of the One Piece anime

Short Summary
Inuarashi clashes with Shutenmaru, who refuses to aid in Kin'emon's operation. Sanji and the others seek out recruits.

Long Summary
As the Wano Country Arc's second act begins, Inuarashi and Doji quickly engage in a swordfight. The battle leads in a standstill. Mid-battle, Inuarashi exclaims that he is here to fulfill Oden's dream of taking over the country again. Suddenly, the battle is interrupted by Kin'emon's fire slash. Doji immediately walks away from the battle. He explains that he is refusing to join the plan because Kin'emon abandoned the country for twenty years.

Back at Hitetsu's house, Tama's injuries are treated by Chopper and a few Mink doctors. She explains that she fainted from fear upon seeing Kaidou, but was otherwise unharmed aside from a few minor scratches. Chopper explains, to her shock, that Luffy had been captured and sent to Udon's excavation camp.

In Udon, Luffy is sentenced to hard labour, where he must carry large blocks of stone. He receives one kibi dango for every five blocks he hauls. However, Eustass Kid runs past, knocking the dango out of Luffy's hand and trampling over it. Kid, who works extremely fast, gets an enormous pile of dumplings to eat.

In the Flower Capital, while the news boy informs the people about various criminals, several of Kin'emon's allies, including Usopp, a Heart Pirate, and Bepo, hand out flyers to recruit allies. Many of these allies mysteriously find the paper in their hands, calling it the work of a ghost. Some recruits are hesitant while some are willing to join.

Meanwhile, Nami and Shinobu spy on Orochi's mansion. Shinobu uses her Devil Fruit powers to decay holes into the attic, where they spy on Orochi's men from above. However, they are caught and barely escape with Shinobu panicking.

In Onigashima, the other two All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, King and Queen, reprimand Jack for not bringing in enough offerings from Kuri. They also furiously bicker with each other.
