Short Summary
The fight on the upper ruins draws to a close. Holy sets off all the iron cloud traps which creates a spiked cage around everyone on the upper ruins. Zoro and Wiper stand back up and analyze the situation. Laki appears outside of the cage calling for Wiper. She tells him of how Kamakiri was defeated by Enel. Wiper screams for her to leave, but before she is able to respond, Enel shows up behind her. Laki tries shooting Enel in vain. Laki says to Wyper that Enel is invincible as Enel strikes her with lightning. Enel laughs and insults Wyper before disappearing. Wyper, Nola, Holy, Ohm, Zoro, Gan Fall, and a couple of fodder begin fighting again. Nami's group inside of Nola run into Luffy.

Plot Points

 * The iron cloud cage appears.
 * Laki is defeated by Enel.
 * Nami's group finds Luffy inside of Nola.
 * The chapter title "Serenade" is once again a musical piece that describes what happens in the chapter. A serenade is a calm musical composition that is played in someone's honor generally in the evening. It is similar to an aubade (an earlier chapter title) but later in the day. In the chapter, the serenade is referring to Laki being taken down. The calm style of a serenade also fits with the calmer mood of this chapter.
