Short Summary
The Straw Hats learn more about Tonoyasu, who has no prior connections to the Kozuki Family but wishes to join the fight against Orochi. He was forced to sell his daughter, Toko, to the Flower Capital, but his kind actions to everyone in Ebisu Town have caused him to be considered a saint.

In the Prisoner Mine, Hyogoro teaches Luffy about advancing his Busoshoku Haki, and they are eventually left alone in the ring until morning while the Beasts Pirates retire for the night. Raizo and Caribou then arrive, and Hyogoro is encouraged upon reuniting with the former, saying that there are tens of thousands of prisoners who would ally themselves with the Kozuki Family. Meanwhile, Big Mom's group enters Udon.
