Short Summary
Speed, who had taken Tama to Onigashima on her ship, feeds several Gifters Tama's taming kibi dango in order to make them obedient to her, and they along with tamed Gifters from Bakura Town and the Prisoner Mine begin fighting against their former crew. Tama, Usopp, and Nami ride on Komachiyo to where Franky and Sasaki are fighting, and Usopp shoots the dango into more Gifters' mouths while Nami holds off Ulti with a lightning attack. When Sasaki becomes distracted by this turn of events, Franky takes advantage of this to injure him with his sword.

Meanwhile, Black Maria's group has subdued Sanji again, and the Tobiroppo tells Sanji to call out for Robin through a special mask that will broadcast across the entire castle. Black Maria then receives a report that Bao Huang has found the Nine Red Scabbards in the Treasure Repository and agrees to go there and kill them. However, Bao Huang sees a tenth person in the room, a mysterious woman who is tending to their wounds.

Long Summary
On Onigashima, the Shinuchi Speed delivers a bag full of Kibi Dango to several Gifters, telling them that they were made with Queen's special tonics and will boost their body's natural healing process. Some were unsure if they would work, but Briscola, who ate one, says that they are. She tells the Gifters that there are enough for all of them and they have a muscle-boosting effect, which makes them even more excited.

Back in Ringo, Tama told Speed that she wants her help to take her to Onigashima since no one else would take her with them. As they were making their way to the island, Tama made several Kibi Dango despite tiring herself out. Speed tells her to stop but she continues to make them, saying that each one will create a new ally. She also tells her that she wants to see a Wano without Kaido and Orochi and one with Momonosuke as the shogun so she can never go hungry again. Speed agrees to fight for her, along with Gazelleman and Daifugo, who she had also tamed. They decide to hide in wait until the right moment.

With the right moment passing, Gazelleman and Daifugo proceed to distribute Kibi Dango to various Gifters. Some of the prisoners of Udon spot Daifugo and and try to attack him, but Daifugo tells them that that is all water under the bridge. He then proceeds to shove the dango in the mouths of Gifters and Shinuchi, such as Mizerka and Poker, declaring that they will all serve their new master.
