Raid on Onigashima

The Raid on Onigashima was a large-scale invasion and battle that took place on the island of Onigashima in Wano Country during that year's Fire Festival. The invading forces were the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance, with the objective of defeating the Beasts Pirates, led by Kaidou of the Four Emperors and his allies, including Shogun Kurozumi Orochi and recent ally, fellow Emperor Big Mom.

They succeeded in their goal after much bloodshed, and with their victory, Wano was finally free from twenty years of tyranny and Kaidou's fiendish New Onigashima Project was foiled thanks to one of the alliance's main leaders, Monkey D. Luffy. In addition, both Kaidou and Big Mom were stripped of their positions as Emperors, with Luffy and Buggy chosen to take their places.

Details
On the night of the Fire Festival, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance had successfully infiltrated Onigashima despite a few hiccups and snuck into the Beasts Pirates' stronghold, the Skull Dome, by using disguises. The raid happened just as Kaidou of the Four Emperors unveiled his master plan which he called the New Onigashima Project; Kaidou began to use his all-mighty dragon powers to lift Onigashima and have the island land on the Flower Capital in order to turn Wano into a pirate paradise so he could prepare for war against the World Government itself. Kaidou's fellow Emperor Big Mom was reunited with Charlotte Perospero, her first-born and an officer of the Big Mom Pirates, and stated that joining forces with Kaidou was her idea, so her son reluctantly accepted her decision. Some agents from CP0 were also present at the party as Kurozumi Orochi's guests. After 20 years of waiting, the loyal retainers of Kozuki Oden attacked Kaidou with all their strength to avenge their master's death and help make his dream of opening Wano's borders a reality: this marked the start of a full all-out battle.

Course of Events
After Kurozumi Kanjuro was exposed as the spy, Kiku asked him if there was any real companionship from their time together; Kanjuro took what she said as a complement to his acting skills, showing he had no remorse in betraying the Scabbards. This hurt Kiku even more as she fights Kanjuro. The rest of the Scabbards joined in and knocked him out. All the samurai present on the Live Floor were awestruck by the Straw Hat Pirates as they showed off their extreme battle prowess by defeating a substantial portion of the Beasts Pirates' forces with relative ease. Then as the Straw Hats stood united against their foes, Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of this motley crew confidently proclaimed that he would be the one to defeat Kaidou.

Though they landed a few hits and caused some significant damage, Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Trafalgar Law, Eustass Kid, and Killer realized that Kaidou and Big Mom were too powerful together and their only chance at winning was if they could separate the two, so they disarmed Big Mom of her special Homies and threw her off the roof. Napoleon and Prometheus manage to save Big Mom from falling into the sea, and she returned to the Skull Dome to hunt down her enemies for revenge. Big Mom then created a new special Homie named Hera to replace Zeus because she was tired of his constant failures lately. Kanjuro recovered shortly after his previous fight and then tormented his former comrades by using his paint powers to create a fake Kozuki Oden, resulting in the death of Ashura Doji, but then Kanjuro was critically injured by Kin'emon. As he fell to the ground with mortal wounds, Kanjuro laughed and noted how fitting it was that the man who had been his closest "onstage" comrade had been the one to take him out, while Kin'emon still shed tears for Kanjuro despite his former friend's treachery.

Since his former comrades tried to kill him, X Drake decided to lend his aid to the alliance despite some of the members being suspicious of him. After hearing a certain village she became fond of was destroyed, a rampaging Big Mom severally wounded two of the Tobiroppo; the siblings Page One and Ulti. This attack put Page One out of commission, but Ulti got back up and attacked Nami, Usopp and their young companion Tama; however, Nami knocked out Ulti after Zeus permanently fused with her Sorcery Clima-Tact, giving her the extra power that she needed to defeat the Tobiroppo. Thanks to the efforts of the alliance, every Gifter who ate Tama's special dangos became the child's obedient servants and on her order, attacked their ex-crewmembers. This act played a key role in turning the tide of the battle in the alliance's favor. The highly skilled Who's-Who, a former CP9 agent was a great challenge for Jinbe, the new helmsman of the Straw Hats. Thankfully, the former Warlord was able to take down the Tobiroppo with his finishing move Onigawara Seiken. The rowdy Sasaki proved to be a worthy adversary for Franky and even managed to heavily damage the durable mech-suit General Franky, but in the end, Franky emerged victorious against the Tobiroppo when he ejected from the Exo-armor and fired a Franky Radical Beam at Sasaki's main weak spot: his large belly. The violent and sadistic Black Maria with her drug altered spider Devil Fruit abilities prove to be a serious threat with its super strong webbing, venom tipped legs and fire-breathing spider face, but thankfully Nico Robin was prepared for battle, while Brook did his share by keeping Black Maria's subordinates at bay. After a harsh battle Robin was able to get the upper hand by using new fighting techniques she learned from her friends in the Revolutionary Army then finish off the Tobiroppo with Grand Jacuzzi Clutch. Yamato, the son of Kaidou who wished to see the end of his father's regime over Wano, started helping the Alliance by helping Shinobu and Oden's son Kozuki Momonosuke escape enemy forces. Yamato then fought his father to a standstill until his new comrades returned. Knowing he could not do anything to help as a child, Momonosuke asked Shinobu to use her power to turn him into an adult. This allowed him to transform into a giant pink dragon so he could fly Luffy back to Onigashima after he was temporally thrown off and indisposed. After leaving with Yamato so Luffy could face Kaidou alone, Momonosuke began to use his new power to create flame clouds to begin the important, long and arduous task of putting an end to Kaidou's sinister New Onigashima Project by preventing Onigashima from landing on the Flower Capital and instead change its course to have it safely land near the city as he moved the flying island with all of his might. Killer dueled Basil Hawkins as he desired revenge for his earlier betrayal. Hawkins used his special straw dolls to transfer all damage to Killer's captain Kid, however, he made a grave miscalculation, since Kid's left arm was a metal prosthetic, it was unaffected by Hawkins' power, so Killer wound up slicing off his left arm with Jin Sonic, thus defeating Hawkins. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were both in an intense battle with tremendously strong opponents; Jack one of the 3 All-Stars and the Charlotte Family's eldest son Perospero. Right in the middle of their respective fights the full moon was covered by clouds causing Inuarashi and Nekomamushi to transform out of their Sulong forms, thus giving their enemies the upper hand. Just as it seemed all hope was lost, a Haoshoku Haki clash between Kaidou and Luffy caused the clouds to clear up, allowing the two Minks to change back into Sulong forms and simultaneously defeat Jack and Perospero with Oden One-Sword Style: Inu Spire & Neko Niko Bam. The All-Star Queen proved to be a dangerous adversary with his Brachiosaurus Devil Fruit and cybernetically enhanced body, but the cook of the Straw Hat crew Sanji did not falter and persevered against this challenge. When Queen tried to crush every bone in Sanji’s body something miraculous happened. To everyone’s shock and Sanji’s anger the genetic modifications given to him by his hated father had finally awaken. By using his new abilities and combining them with Busoshoku Haki, Sanji was able create a devastating fighting style of blue flaming feet called Ifrit Jambe. With this new power, Sanji was able to overwhelm the All-Star with one powerful strike after another, then finally defeated Queen with Bœuf Burst that sent him flying out of the Skull Dome and off Onigashima. Zoro entered a dual against someone who proved to be a most formidable foe: the strongest All-Star and Kaidou's right-hand man King, who is revealed to be a surviving member of the Lunarian race that is wildly thought to be extinct. Zoro quickly deduced King was not a true swordsman, but rather a vicious brute who uses a savage yet practical mixture of swordplay, hand-to-hand combat, the properties of his Pteranodon Devil Fruit, and his species’ natural ability to generate fire. Fortunately, during the climax of their battle, Zoro developed a vastly more  destructive variation of his style of swordsmanship thanks to the properties of the legendary Haki-powered sword Enma   combined with his recently discovered Haoshoku Haki  and unleased King of Hell, Three-Sword Serpent: Ippyakusanjo Hiryu Jigoku to slice King's giant flame dragon in half and cut off King's right wing in the process, causing the defeated All-Star to plummet from Onigashima. CP0 encountered Drake and Scratchmen Apoo, the latter of which defected from the Beast Pirates as he desired to take down whomever won the war. Even though Drake dealt severe damage, he was eventually incapacitated, while Apoo realized he was no match against the might of two CP0 agents and retreated. Before dying from his injuries, Kanjuro painted a fiery creature called Kazenbo that was sent to detonate all the explosives in the Skull Dome's basement. However, this plot was foiled thanks to the interference of Yamato who froze the bombs with Namuji Hyoga just in time. Raizo won his dual with Fukurokuju when his fellow ninja veteran collapsed from dehydration courtesy of the raging flames throughout the Skull Dome. In order to save everyone from the very same flames Raizo summoned a vast amount of water with his scroll-based ability, and Jinbe used his Fish-Man Karate to hurl the water down throughout the castle to extinguish all of the fire. As their fight with Big Mom continued, Kid and Law pushed themselves beyond their limits against the ruthless monarch of Totto Land as she decimated everything and everyone in her path. Law and Kid decided that their only option left was for both of them to use their awakened powers that would drain what was left of their stamina. Things looked especially dire when Big Mom used her soul power on herself to turn her broken bones into Homies to heal herself and exchanged one year of her own lifespan to make herself more powerful. This did not make them falter and with the last of their strength Law and Kid attacked Big Mom with their powerful combo attack of R-ROOM & Silent and Assign & Damned Punk sending her crashing through floor after floor. Big Mom also passed through the weapons vault and accidentally set off one of Yamato's frozen bombs, further injuring herself. As she fell below Big Mom cursed Roger for starting the "Great Pirate Era", then makes impact on ground, where she falls victim to another, much larger fiery explosion which finally defeats her. When Kaidou sensed that Big Mom was unbelievably out off of the fight with his Kenbunshoku Haki, he actually felt sad as he remembered the sibling like bond, they formed during their time in the Rocks Pirates. Meanwhile, Izou and CP0 agent Maha began to fight which ended in a double knockout, causing the former's death, and causing CP0 to fail at capturing Robin. While he was briefly trapped under a pile of rubble, Kurozumi Orochi was beyond shocked when he discovered that the geisha "Komurasaki" he was enamored with for so long was in reality his enemy Oden's daughter, Kozuki Hiyori. Orochi tried to explain himself, but Hiyori saw though his lies as she exclaimed all her animosity toward Orochi while she informed him that every day, he sat on the throne of Wano was a day too long and he was never truly the shogun. In a final attempt to take his revenge, Orochi broke free and was caught on fire from what was left of Kazenbo, yet he still attacked Hiyori with extreme fury, but was stopped by the timely arrival of Denjiro, who sliced off Orochi's last remaining head. Denjiro then comforted Hiyori and commended her for all she had to deal with for years, as they both watched Orochi's head burn to a crisp, finally putting an end to the wretched tyrant's life. As the battle between them intensified Kaidou was glad that he finally found a worthy opponent to fight after all these years and realized hasn’t have this much fun since he fought Oden. Just then CP0 received orders to make sure Luffy lost the fight because the Five Elders knew the repercussions the end of Kaidou’s reign would have on the rest of the world. So, Guernica held Luffy in place so Kaidou could deal the finishing blow. This act actually caused what the Five Elders feared most: Luffy finally awakening his Devil Fruit. Luffy then pressed onward in his fight against the fierce Kaidou as he began demonstrating the extraordinary power of a forgotten time. Despite all of Kaidou's powerful, unrelenting attacks, Luffy kept using his newly acquired abilities in creative and unpredictable ways until he was finally able to make his fist the size of an island and unleashed the mighty Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun, causing Kaidou to finally accept that Luffy was indeed Joy Boy who he foresaw would one day come to defeat him. Kaidou fell so hard into the ground, the collision made a massive crater leading into an underground chamber filled with magma, where both Kaidou and Big Mom's unconscious bodies ended up. This event caused a volcanic eruption where Onigashima once stood, symbolizing both Wano's liberation and the official end of Kaidou and Big Mom’s era as rulers of the sea.

Aftermath
After several lengthy and difficult battles, against all odds, what was thought to be impossible happened; two of the Four Emperors, Kaidou and Big Mom, were defeated by three infamous pirate captains of the Worst Generation, Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar Law, and Eustass Kid. In the end, the raid was a total victory with Kurozumi Orochi being dethroned and deceased. Meanwhile the Beasts Pirates lost all their power in Wano Country, causing many of the Beasts Pirates to flee or be imprisoned in Udon and some of them had defected to the alliance's side during the battle either because of Chopper saving them from the biological weapon Ice Oni or because they were tamed by Tama. Also, CP0 agent Joseph retreated via Geppo so he could report to the World Government everything that happened during the battle. Kaidou's precious New Onigashima Project that he had been working on for decades was now totally in shambles with Onigashima itself having landed near the Flower Capital instead of on top of the city as Kaidou intended thanks to the power of Dr. Vegapunk's Artificial Devil Fruit and Kaidou's once mighty fortress, the Skull Dome, was now in ruins. After giving it much thought, Kozuki Momonosuke, the rightful heir of Wano, decided to postpone opening Wano's borders for the time being. With all enemy forces vanquished, Momonosuke became the new shogun and announced to his subjects that Kaidou and Orochi would no longer oppress them. After hearing this, the people of Wano rejoiced at their regained freedom.

Days later, the children of Wano received new schoolteachers who told them the true heroic tales of Kozuki Oden, shrines were planned to be built so that Oden could finally be laid to rest, along with the members of the alliance that gave their lives for the rebellion, including Shimotsuki Yasuie, Ashura Doji, and Izou. Everyone in Wano also soon learned of Komurasaki and Kyoshiro's true identities as Kozuki Hiyori and Denjiro. As Luffy asked Momonosuke to not give his name to the people of Wano due to his humility, everyone in the country came to know him as the warrior Joy Boy and heard about the tale of how he defeated Kaidou with the citizens comparing his heroism to Shimotsuki Ryuma and became forever grateful for ending his reign of terror. In addition, Big Mom is now known to the people of Wano as "O-Lin the Great Yōkai" and learned of her role in the great battle and as a result has become a legend in Wano just like Kaidou who the Wano citizens now call the "Dragon King".



Naturally, news of Kaidou and Big Mom's defeat soon spread across the seas; it was then before the banquet to celebrate the alliance's victory that Scratchmen Apoo arrived and showed those present the newspaper, which named the new Emperors of the Sea as well as an update on everyone's new bounties. It was announced to the whole world that "Straw Hat" Luffy and Buggy the "Star Clown" had replaced Big Mom and Kaidou as Emperors. Additionally, Luffy, Law, and Kid had been assigned bounties of 3,000,000,000 each. To the dismay of the Five Elders, Luffy also got a new picture in his wanted poster showing the whole world his awakened form, and the Marines did not receive the order to remove the initial D in his name. Luffy's new status as an Emperor unintentionally help increased the influence of his sworn brother Sabo of the Revolutionary Army after the notoriety he gained from the events from the recent Levely. To top it all off, every current member of the Straw Hat Pirates had their bounties greatly increased as well, indicating they were now an even bigger threat to the World Government than before.

Yamato decided to wait before joining the Straw Hats as he wanted to start his journey by exploring Wano before setting out to sea just as Oden did. Before Luffy and his crew left Wano, he gave Momonosuke a copy of his Jolly Roger so that everyone in the outside world would know that Wano was an ally of the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy also told Momonosuke, Kin'emon and Yamato are welcome to join his crew anytime in the future.
