Short Summary
Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji find Caribou knocked out, take all of the treasure and head back to the palace. On their way they meet the Minister of the Left while he is being threatened by Pecoms. Luffy accidentaly reveals that he ate candy at the banquet and is soon questioned by Mr. Pecoms on that. Baron Tamago stops Pecoms and starts explaining the situation calmly to Luffy. On Whole Cake Island, Big Mom is very eager to eat the sweets from Fishman Island. Bobbin, one of her pirates, returns and reveals that he destroyed a country for not being able to pay their tribute of sweets in time as she requested. She uses a Den Den Mushi to call Fishman Island, which Luffy answers and tells her there is no more candy, lying that he ate all of it. He tries to negotiate by offering all of the treasure, but fails despite Tamago encouraging the deal due to the pirate group being low on cash. Big Mom does agree to direct her anger towards Luffy and not Fishman Island, and Luffy declares war on her, saying he will make Fishman Island his territory.

Chapter Notes

 * Luffy, Zoro and Sanji catch up to Caribou, who had apparently been easily knocked out by Luffy's punch, his mud powers utterly overwhelmed by Luffy's Haki and they take back all of the stolen treasure.
 * A Longleg Tribe member, Baron Tamago, is introduced. This is the first appearance of a Longleg Tribe member since their addition (among several other as-of-yet-unseen races, such as dwarves) on the Seabody slave trade's price range list for all the various races of the world.
 * An island in the New World is introduced, Whole Cake Island.
 * Big Mom makes her first appearance, as do several other members of the Big Mom Pirates.
 * Luffy once again answers a call no one else wanted to pick up, similar to when the Marines contacted him just after he broke out of Impel Down and when Bon Clay called post-Arabasta arc.
 * To keep Big Mom from destroying Fishman Island, Luffy takes all the blame for eating the sweets. Big Mom is able to see through this lie, but due to her interest in someone standing up to her she accepts the blame shift.
 * Baron Tamago states that Eustass Kid destroyed two of their ships in the New World only a few days before they arrived on the island, showing he has been consantly in action in the New World over the past two years.
 * Luffy declares war on Big Mom, and says he will make Fishman Island his territory, which would make it the first and so far only island under the Straw Hats' continued protection, but judging by the fear even just the Straw Hat imposters garnered, his name alone should be a sufficient deterrent- even though it would be extremely difficult to turn around on their journey towards Raftel and return to Fishman Island.
 * Pandaman can be found on the bottom panel of the second page.
