Minutes before the start of the tea party, the guests begin to arrive at the reception on the roof of Whole Cake Chateau. As the Vinsmoke Family makes its way through the castle, the final Underworld guests arrive and are escorted to the banquet hall by Perospero. At the gate in front of the venue, the guest Jigra refuses a body check from Capone Bege. He is immediately sniped by Sweet Commander Charlotte Katakuri, whose Kenbunshoku Haki informed him that Jigra was planning to murder Big Mom. At 10:00 AM, Big Mom enters the tea party venue and the banquet commences.

Long Summary
At Whole Cake's eastern bay, Pekoms is asking Aladine where the Sun Pirates are going. Aladine informs him the crew is leaving the country and Pekoms asks if Big Mom is aware of this while reminding about what happens to those who leave Big Mom's umbrella. Aladine lets Pekoms know how grateful Jinbe is. There is a brief flashback to Jinbe talking to the Sun Pirates. Jinbe acknowledges that their plan to kill Big Mom might not work, and felt better to know about the Germa assassination plot. Jinbe knows if Luffy finds out about this, he would surely do something brash to save Sanji, and Jinbe wants to help Luffy out. Jinbe then declares his intention to fully betray Big Mom. When he tried to inform her honestly, she dragged out her penalty wheel, which is marked with how many crew members would suffer along with Jinbe. The reason he wants them to run now is because he knows security will be light because of the wedding. Aladine assures Jinbe that they would protect him the same way he would protect them. Jinbe tries to brush it off, which angers Aladine, who can tell Jinbe plans to die. Jinbe tells Aladine of his intent to join the Straw Hat Pirates, and it is a matter of when, not if. Aladine understands Jinbe's intentions and tells him to do what he must. He then says that he and the crew will go back to Fishman Island, asking Jinbe if he was still worried about Ryugu, and Jinbe says yes. The flashback ends with Jinbe and Aladine reaffirming their friendship. Aladine then tells the crew to set sail, much to the abandoned Pekoms's dismay.

Inside Wholecake Chateau, Yonji asks Reiju where she was. She brushes it off, saying she could change her room if she wished. Niji patronizes his brother, telling him to keep out of adult business. Judge tells his children they are going to the welcome ceremony taking place on the roof.

Outside, the homies are getting excited as the welcome ceremony draws closer. A pig-drawn carriage hurries in and stops before a welcoming crowd, some remarking how late they are. The guests step out of the carriage. The king of the black market, "God of Fortune" Du Feld, "Red Light Queen" Stussy, "Great Undertaker" Drug Peclo; the president of the World Economic Journal, "Big News" Morgans; Giberson the Concealer, a leader in the storage industry; and a shipping magnate, "Deep Current" Umit. Du Feld and Peclo trade distasteful words about why the other was invited, but are silenced by Stussy. Morgans comments about what big news the marriage will be, while Giberson and Umit note how it was already common knowledge in the underworld. Charlotte Perospero welcomes the guests and prepares a candy escalator to take them to the ceremony, saying they are the last guests. The guests marvel at the escalator's craftmanship. Perospero then gives some lollipops to some children, telling them they can eat the escalator in a few minutes.

Outside the party hall, a person is demanding to be let in, saying he won't submit to a body check. Bege politely tells him they can't do that. The person, organ dealer Jigra, reminds Bege he was invited to the last wedding too but could not attend due to having to go to his mother's funeral. He told Big Mom this, and asks Bege to guess what she sent in return. Before he can finish, the man is shot in the head. Bege demands to know who shot him. A man on the doorframe then tells Bege how the story would have ended. "She sent me the head of my father, who was in the hospital. I'm here for revenge, open the door" at which point he would have opened fire, killing two of Bege's subordinates in the process. The person talking is Sweet Commander Charlotte Katakuri, second son of the family, who threw a jelly bean at him. He takes responsibility, foretelling Bege's response.

Bege is visibly irritated by Katakuri's presence. Katakuri trained his oberservation haki so well he can apparently see into the future slightly, posing the biggest threat to Bege's plans. The final guests enter the party room, excited by atmosphere. Charlotte Smoothie greets them and offers them a drink. The selection is a piece of lava, a beautiful women who stabbed one hundred men, and a giraffe that makes a funny sound. Giberson, Stussy, and Peclo all get a glass of the giraffe, squeezed into the glass by Smoothie's Devil Fruit ability. They marvel at the taste and feel of the drink as Big Mom enters the room. She welcomes the guests, tells them everything in the room is edible and to make sure to enjoy everything that happens today.
