Short Summary
The Supernovas are showing their skills and the Straw Hats are ready to fight a Pacifista.

Saobody Archipelago
Inside a fortress, soldiers are rushing around, preparing cannons and equipment for battle. Drawbridges are lowered for cavalry, and gunports are opened for cannons. Cannons fire at the marines surrounding Capone Bege, who are flabbergasted at seeing people inside Bege's body. As the tiny cannonballs pass an area around Bege's body, they expand to normal size and hit the soldiers. Cavalry then begin to pour out of Bege's stomach, who states that his military power is greater than theirs.

Meanwhile, at Grove 27, everyone is running away, stating that both and admiral, and a shichibukai have arrived on the island. At Grove 24, Urouge has encountered a pacifista, and states that he is not going to be so lucky considering that he is so close to Marine Headquarters. Meanwhile, Basil Hawkins is being encouraged by his crew members to escape from Admiral Kizaru, who is standing right in front of the Supernova. However, Hawkins merely ignores the admiral as he continues his fortune-telling. Kizaru asks Hawkins if he has seen a man named Sentoumaru, but Hawkins states that he knows no such person. Kizaru states that he cannot leave a head like Hawkins' lying around, then asks him if he has ever been kicked at the speed of light. Hawkins is then kicked into a building by the admiral, while at Grove 27, a pirate collapses without reason. Meanwhile, Kizaru fires a laser into the same building, creating a massive explosion, while Scratchmen Apoo watches in amazement. Again, at the harbor, another man collapses from a random injury, and Hawkins walks out of the building's wreckage unharmed to Kizaru's apparent surprise. Hawkins states that facing and admiral with just ten "bodies" is unwise, as two straw dolls appear out of his body and fall to the ground. Urouge then appears flying down the street. The "Mad Monk" comments on the strength of the pacifista, then notices Kizaru close by and states how he has trapped by a shichibukai and an admiral. Hawkins tells him that he does not see death on him, and Urouge states that he is grateful for the joke, and gets back up. X Drake then appears and hits the pacifista with a four-headed axe, damaging it, and Kizaru refers to Drake as a rear admiral. Drake states that he never intended to run into Kizaru, but at that time, Urouge activates his ability and grows in size to match the pacifista. Apoo notices how interesting the situation has gotten, while his crew members tell him to run.

Meanwhile, at Grove 12, the Straw Hat Pirates have encountered another pacifista whom they think is Kuma. Sanji warns Luffy of a shockwave attack, but the pacifista shoots a laser at Luffy instead, much to the crew's surprise. Luffy dodges, but he and Chopper are fascinated by the beam. Luffy realizes that this was the enemy who attacked his crew on Thriller Bark, and Franky fires a Coup de Vent at the pacifista, sending it flying. Luffy then activates Gear Second, saying he will go all out from the start, and his crew mirrors him. Zoro notices that the atmosphere seems to be off, but is unable to identify the cause.

At Grove 36, a large figure with a battleaxe is sitting on top of a building. He states that Kizaru is late, and wonders why the admiral has not contacted him. He continues by saying that if they don't hurry, they will all be wiped out.
