Short Summary
In the Germa Kingdom, Sanji grows increasingly angry and frustrated at the exploding wristlets on his arm.

Near Sweet City, Brook and Pedro overhear the local citizenry discussing how Jinbe retracted his request to leave the Big Mom Pirates. They spot Charlotte Purin and Baron Tamago as they shop for Purin's wedding dress, before overhearing a disturbing conversation that indicates the Sanji retrieval team's every move is being tracked.

At the northeast coast of Whole Cake Island, the Firetank Pirates, led by Capone Bege and his wife, Charlotte Chiffon, shoot Pekoms. Pekoms falls into the shark-infested waters below.

Inside Big Mom's chamber inside Whole Cake Chateau, Big Mom recommissions Caesar Clown to develop a drug which will turn her family into giants. Caesar believes it is impossible, but is given only two weeks to complete it. If he fails, Totto Land's Minister of Candy, Charlotte Perosupero, will turn him into candy and kill him.

Finally, as night falls in the Seducing Woods, a confused and frustrated Luffy carries "Sanji" and "Purin" into the center of a clearing, where multiple, tied-up versions of Sanji, Purin, Chopper, Carrot and Nami are already gathered.

Long Summary
On a balcony in the Germa Kingdom's royal castle, Sanji stares at the exploding wristlets placed on his arms by his father and sister. It is shown that, a little while earlier, Sanji had tried to remove the wristlets forcibly, setting off a warning alarm; Reiju intervened, telling him that the keys in Big Mom's possession are the only way to remove them. Sanji recalls a childhood memory of Zeff bandaging his wounded hands, before (literally) beating into him the lesson that a chef's hands are not meant for fighting. As his anger mounts, Sanji yells out from the balcony in frustration.

Meanwhile, Brook and Pedro successfully infiltrate Sweet City using the Shark Submerge III. As they land, they overhear the locals discussing Jinbe's betrayal of Big Mom; Totto Land's newspaper reported that, after asking to leave her crew, he retracted his request upon hearing the price she demanded for such a betrayal. Brook realizes that Jinbe's position as Big Mom's subordinate was what led him to turn down Luffy's offer to join the Straw Hat Pirates, and reflects that the newspaper's account of Jinbe's cowardice was uncharacteristic of the fishman they knew. Pedro is astonished that Big Mom has a former Shichibukai in her crew, and asks Brook if Jinbe is an acquaintance of the Straw Hats; Brook confirms that he is.

Suddenly, Pedro spots Baron Tamago and Sanji's fiancee, Charlotte Purin, shopping for a wedding dress. Purin is anxious to tend to a prior engagement, but Tamago insists that she make finding a dress her priority. The store's staff suggest that Purin choose an item that would suit the groom's tastes, but a flustered Purin remarks that she has only met Sanji once before. Brook and Pedro realize that Purin was unable to slip her handlers, and that the pair that Luffy spotted on the shore of Whole Cake Island could not have been Sanji and Purin. As they continue their spying, two soldiers report the Sanji retrieval team's movements since arriving in Totto Land, including: the arrival of the Thousand Sunny on Cacao Island; the disappearance of Pekoms; the presence of Luffy, Nami, Chopper and Carrot in the Seducing Woods; and the presence of Brook and Pedro elsewhere in Totto Land. Tamago recognizes the soldiers' sketch of Pedro, but instructs the soldiers to focus on locating Pekoms; he muses that, in honor of their long partnership in Big Mom's service, he wants to appeal to Big Mom to forgive Pekoms, but that the situation is complex. Brook and Pedro start to panic, realizing that the whole Sanji retrieval team are in dire straits.

At the northeastern coast of Whole Cake Island, the Firetank Pirates are gathered behind Capone Bege, his wife Charlotte Chiffon, and Capone's son, Capone Gang Petz. A tied-up Pekoms is shown standing at the edge of a cliff. The two exchange words as, just before he is shot, Pekoms warns Capone that his underestimation of Big Mom will be his downfall. After being shot, Pekoms falls off the cliff and into the shark-infested waters below.

Inside the Queen's Chamber in Whole Cake Chateau, Caesar Clown is shown talking with Big Mom. Big Mom explains her dream for her family to encompass all the races of the world, and for all of its members to be able to sit and converse with each other at eye level. She reveals that she had previously commissioned Caesar to develop a drug which will turn her whole family into giants, and inquires as to its progress. Caesar reflects to himself that such a project was impossible, and that he had swindled her funds to spend on women and alcohol; however, he lies and states that, were it not for the interference of Luffy and Trafalgar Law, her drug would already be complete. He bemoans that, with the destruction of his research lab on Punk Hazard, he no longer has her drug. Big Mom, however, shocks and horrifies him when she reveals that she had an exact replica of his lab built out of candy and reinforced iron. Caesar is taken to the lab by the Big Mom's eldest son, Charlotte Perospero, who warns him that, if the drug is not ready in 2 weeks, Caesar will be turned into candy and (presumably) licked to death.

As night falls over Whole Cake Island, Luffy continues to labor in the Seducing Woods. He carries "Sanji" and "Purin", whom he has apparently recaptured, and takes them into the center of a clearing in the Woods. There, it is shown that multiple, bound versions of Sanji, Purin, Nami, Chopper and Carrot are already gathered, each making animal sounds. Luffy exclaims that he has found all of them, but that they are all acting strangely. He then asks whose idea it was to begin multiplying.
