The Stories of the Self-Proclaimed Straw Hat Grand Fleet: Vol 8, Bartolomeo Arc: "Selling Straw Hat decals and a Luffy Senpai pin badge to the buddies at a 'special' price."

The Barto Club are selling Straw Hat Pirates memorabilias.

Short Summary
Luffy, Sanji, and the Vinsmoke Family attempt to provide protection and distraction to allow Caesar Clown a chance to escape the roof with Capone Bege. However, they are soon overwhelmed by the combined might of Charlotte Linlin and her children, leaving the alliance at her mercy.

At the same time, however, Du Feld manages to reach the Tamatebako, which had fallen onto a lower landing. However, he is soon shot by undercover CP-0 agent Stussy. Du Feld's body, landing beside the box, causes the box to fall and break at the base of the castle. As a result, the bomb inside detonates in a huge explosion that damages the castle and causes it to collapse, along with everyone on its roof.

Long Summary
Caesar Clown, holding Capone Bege and the rest of the alliance, attempts to fly off the roof of Whole Cake Chateau. However, Big Mom and her crew immediately kick into action, with Perospero bringing up a candy wall in an attempt to block Caesar’s escape. Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji combine to destroy the wall and allow Caesar and Bege through.

Meanwhile, Du Feld chases after the Tamatebako, which has fallen onto a lower landing of the Chateau. However, he is intercepted by Stussy, who is revealed to be an undercover agent of CP-0. After shooting Du Feld with a finger gun, Du Feld falls off the side of the upper landing and beside the Tamatebako. Stussy then claims the Tamatebako for the World Government, ordering the eavesdropping Morgans to pin the blame for the box’s disappearance on Du Feld.

Back on the roof, Big Mom confronts Monkey D. Luffy over his pronouncement to defeat her back on Fishman Island. Sanji, however, prevents Luffy from directly confronting Big Mom, grabbing Luffy and telling him not to fall for her bait. Nonetheless, Luffy wriggles free of Sanji’s grasp and declares to Big Mom that he, not she, will become the Pirate King. He attacks her with Gear Fourth, declaring that he will take her down after he takes down Kaido, but Big Mom, after deflecting the attack, declares that Luffy will never achieve either victory because she will ensure he never leaves her territory. Around this time, due to the fact that Luffy had used Gear 4 two times to fight Cracker, he cannot mantain Gear 4 long in the third time from the lack of stamina and soon passes out very quickly. She prepares to attack Luffy and Sanji again, but is intercepted by Judge, who calls her a villain for betraying the dreams of the Germa Kingdom. Big Mom dismisses Judge’s attack, promising to make use of Germa’s scientific powers before defeating him with an attack from Zeus.

In response to the sight of their father going down, Niji and Yonji abandon Caesar’s escort and rush back towards Big Mom. A distraught Caesar encounters a further obstacle when Katakuri appears before him on the edge of the roof. Katakuri, in turn, is attacked by Ichiji, but before Caesar can use the distraction to escape, he runs into a mirrored version of himself. Brulee manifests her face from Caesar’s mirrored body, reminding him of the score she has to settle with the alliance. With his path blocked, Caesar turns around to see a desperate scene: Katakuri holding up a bloody Ichiji; Big Mom holding Niji and Yonji in each hand; an unconscious Judge; and Galette, Daifuku, and Smoothie surrounding a slumped and restrained Luffy, Sanji, and Reiju with Galette's Devil Fruit power. Caesar and Bege bemoan that the alliance was defeated, promoting Jinbei and Pedro to attempt to charge out. Big Mom then announces that she will carry out the alliance members’ execution.

Suddenly, an enormous explosion rocks the entire Chateau: the Tamatebako, nudged off the landing by the impact of Du Feld's fall, smashes onto the ground and blows apart a huge section of the Chateau’s base. The entire of Sweet City is rocked by the blast, and the Chateau, now unbalanced, tilts sideways and heads for a spectacular collapse.
