Short Summary
At Mary Geoise, Kuma causes destruction. Sakazuki responds by taking immediate action, forcing Kuma to retreat. Meanwhile at Egghead, the Sea Beast Weapons have been defeated and Kizaru manages to knock Luffy away, resulting in Vegaforce-01's destruction. Just as Kizaru bypasses Labophase's defenses where Vegapunk and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates are, Luffy returns in Gear Fifth, where this transformation results in the Iron Giant being reactivated.

Long Summary
Bartholomew Kuma has reached Mary Geoise and has unleashed an Ursa Shock attack which has devastated several buildings. Sakazuki confronts Kuma as several World Nobles appear complaining about the lack of food and demanding that he execute Kuma for injuring all of them in his rampage. Sakazuki tells Kuma that if the World Government can’t control him anymore, then they can’t let him live. But what he personally doesn’t understand is his motivations since he has lost his sense of self. As he says that, he uses Meigo on Kuma, destroying a portion of his face. Kuma starts running but Sakazuki fires a blast of magma that destroys one of Kuma’s legs, but he still manages to teleport himself away. After he flees, Sakazuki thinks back to when they captured Bonney two years ago and he told her that Kuma willingly offered himself to become a weapon, which Bonney refused to believe at the time. As the World Nobles yell at Sakazuki for letting Kuma get a way, Sakazuki continues to wonder where Kuma is going.

On Egghead, the Sea Beast Weapons are destroyed by the Pacifista, allowing the Marines to land. Luffy has transformed into “Snake-Man” and is barraging Kizaru with his punches which Kizaru blocks, but even he has come to admit that Luffy has become a formidable opponent since defeating Kaidou. Kizaru asks Luffy why he’s protecting Dr. Vegapunk, but Luffy retorts by asking why Kizaru wants to kill him anyway. Kizaru warps far away from Luffy as he admits he doesn’t personally want to kill him because he’s known him for a long time, but he doesn’t have a choice. With blinding speed, Kizaru kicks Luffy so hard he flies into Vegaforce-01, completely destroying it and sending him into the Frontier Dome’s barrier.

The Thousand Sunny falls out of the destroyed robot’s hands as Franky, Bonney, and Lilith run away from the exploding robot. Kizaru confronts the two as he comments how much Bonney has grown, and he asks why she is getting in his way of killing Dr. Vegapunk, who she is supposed to hate. Bonney, however, grabs a wire and declares that her target has shifted as she uses Toshi Tsuki. Kizaru easily dodges her and blows her into the barrier as well as he asks to not make him hurt any more people he knows. Franky tries to attack Kizaru but he teleports away.

Franky realizes where Kizaru must be going and contacts Usopp to warn him, just as Dr. Vegapunk, Edison, and Atlas crack the code to the Frontier Dome. Just as Dr. Vegapunk asks if Franky has brought Vegaforce-01 and the ship to the other side of the island, Kizaru appears telling Dr. Vegapunk that his plans have been foiled. He tells Dr. Vegapunk that this mission is tough on him so he doesn’t want to drag it out too long, but before he can do anything, Luffy appears in Gear Fifth and grabs Kizaru with his giant hand.

As a result of Luffy’s transformation, the Iron Giant seems to turn on in response to Luffy’s heartbeat.
