Long Summary
Orochi prepares to execute Momonosuke to damage the enemy morale. He explains to the crowd that Momonosuke was a time traveller who was transported twenty years into the future by his mother, Toki. The crowd votes on his method of execution. Although Robin, Jinbe, Hyogoro and the other allies are unhappy to see Momonosuke on the cross, they are forced to jeer at him to blend in.

At Onigashima' s coast, Law's submarine approaches the back of the island, battling strong currents. The submarine goes up to the surface, then Law creates a Room for his Devil Fruit ability. Using the Shambles move, he switches the samurai on the submarine with mountain rocks on the island. This transports the samurai to a snowy mountain peak. Marco also arrives, having carried Nekomamushi and Izou to Onigashima. Kikunojo has a heartfelt reunion with his brother after twenty years separated. Ashura and the others prepare to enter the castle.

Kaidou gets frustrated that Yamato has not been captured yet. He decides to personally appear at the party, appearing by Momonosuke. Along with the execution, Kaidou introduces a certain "New Onigashima Project."

Finally in private, Luffy grants Yamato five minutes to explain himself. Yamato explains that he idolized Oden and when he was executed, Yamato proclaimed himself to be Oden. He went to Kuri and found Oden's logbook, reading about his adventures with the Whitebeard and Roger Pirates. Back in the present day, Yamato removes his mask, revealing himself to be a woman. She decided to become a man as she desired to become Oden.
