Long Summary
Smoker draws a line between Straw Hat Pirates and the Marines, saying that it is a line between evil and justice. Smoker managed to contact the G-5 base and says that they will be waiting for the ship here.

Luffy talks with Brownbeard, who intends to turn himself in. Brownbeard says that if the Marines capture them, they can get cured and that a jail is still better than being played with by Caesar. Caesar, Buffalo, and Baby 5 are also captured and unconscious.

The SAD Tanker has suffered some damage, as one of its masts got broken. Franky, helped by Marines, is pulling it back together.

Meanwhile, Chopper is yelling that Law is a murderer. Brook says that he is a murderer too, as Kinemon had already been dead, but Brook had broken him into pieces. Suddenly, the "pieces" crack and Kinemon rises, yelling. Sanji kicks him, asking why is he alive. Kinemon is revealed to be alive, and Momonosuke transforms from dragon to his human form. Father and son hug, and Kinemon conjures some clothes on him before Momonosuke faints.

Trafalgar Law comes from inside the cabin, saying that he just finished cutting up the children's bodies. Chopper runs in and sees that the children are okay. Tashigi comes in and says that the marines will take care of them. Nami talks a little bit about them on the deck, and says that the kids should be saved by a strong marine woman.

At the same time, Sanji is cooking some food, Newkama Kenpo technique, 99 vital recipe, which he learned to make over the timeskip. It is Offal Soup with Sea Pig Meal. Finally, the food is served, and Momonosuke and Kinemon begin to eat.

The Marines and pirates have a party despite Law's sense of urgency. Smoker then starts to talk to Law, where it is revealed that Law told Luffy that they are going to try to defeat Kaido of the Yonko. Luffy then states that he intends to defeat all four Yonko.
