Long Summary
Kaidou watches as Luffy falls into the ocean, remarking that though Luffy coated himself in Haoshoku Haki, he was still sloppy and unable to wield it perfectly. He then considers Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi, and decides that Luffy must not be Joy Boy.

Inside the palace, Nami and Usopp run from Big Mom as the Emperor rejects Zeus, informing that he's no longer needed. Nami stops, surprised, and watches as Zeus asks if Big Mom is serious. Prometheus points out that he didn't come when she fell off Onigashima, and as Zeus explains that he was caught by Kid, he's interrupted by Napoleon who says that they're better off without him. Zeus appeals to Linlin again, but she just instructs Hera to eat Zeus. She begins biting down on Zeus, but he breaks away, running back to Big Mom. However, she said that he's now a thief, stealing a piece of her soul. Hera begins to eat him again, as Zeus asks Linlin for mercy.

As the clouds fight, Big Mom approaches Nami and Usopp. She tells them she won't let them live, and moves Tama out of the way so she can avoid the danger. Tama begs Big Mom not to kill them, explaining that they're her friends, but the Emperor ignores her, chasing after the two Straw Hats. As they run, Zeus comes up next to Nami, apologizing for turning on her earlier. However, Nami rejects him, and Zeus begins to cry, stating that he was rejected by Big Mom and he's now alone.

As Big Mom prepares to attack the two Straw Hats, Zeus flies up, stating that he wants to at least die without everyone hating him. In his first act of rebelliousness, he attacks Big Mom directly, but is simply caught by the Emperor. She begins to extract his soul, throwing him back to Hera to eat. Nami begins providing Zeus with Black Balls to give him energy, but he's unable to eat them due to his soul being extracted and is instead eaten by Hera.

Meanwhile, on the Live Floor, Queen and Chopper continue to face off. Perospero continues to attack traitorous Beasts Pirates members as well as the surrounding samurai, and Chopper tells them to find shelter, with Hyogoro agreeing. However, Perospero attacks the group with Candy Shower, forcing Chopper to block a group of people and get hit repeatedly. Queen then charges at Chopper, and the reindeer is able to grab Queen by the neck, smashing him into the ground and swinging him into the wall. However, the act tires Chopper, and Perospero wonders how much longer he'll be able to fight.

On the Third Floor, Yamato continues to run through the halls with his fake Momonosuke, trying to draw as much attention as possible. He soon runs into a group of Gifters, who request that he comes back without resisting. One of the Gifters falls for Yamato's fake Momonosuke, and notices that Yamato's no longer handcuffed. However, Yamato instantly defeats the group, yelling out that he's traveling with his son Momonosuke.

Meanwhile, in the First Floor crawl space, Shinobu and the real Momonosuke wait for backup from Kin'emon. While they wait, Momonosuke reads Oden's logbook, learning about the world outside Wano Country and his father's time sailing with the Whitebeard Pirates. He reads about Oden meeting Roger, learning about Laugh Tale, and joining the Roger Pirates. He reads about Oden vising the Sky Islands, and carving Roger's name onto a Poneglyph; about visiting Water 7 and Fishman Island, and finding Joy Boy's apology as well as a Road Poneglyph. He learns about Poseidon, and reads about Oden's visit to Zou, and finding the last Road Poneglyph. Finally, he reads about the Roger Pirates landing on Laugh Tale, and the cause of their laughter.

After reading of Oden's journey, Momonosuke resolves not to die. He's suddenly afflicted by the Voice of All Things, and as he and Shinobu panic, they're spotted by one of the Beasts Pirates. Bao Huang informs Kaidou, and he tells her to broadcast Luffy's defeat across the island.

Back inside the palace, Hera finishes eating Zeus. She gets a surge of power, and the two Straw Hats, along with Tama, begin to run away. Linlin notices the three running and concludes that Tama is leaving her, stating that she hates people who leave her. She attacks the three of them, but is suddenly stopped by Kid, who grabs and throws her backwards. He tells the Straw Hats to leave, stating that Big Mom is his prey.
