Short Summary
Sabo gives his report to Dragon and Ivankov about his earlier mission in Mary Geoise and that he achieved his objectives. As the two want to know the truth of Cobra's death, flashing back during the Levely, while the Revolutionary Army commanders fought against the Admirals, as Vivi is still concerned of Shirahoshi's safety, Cobra prepares for his meeting with the Five Elders.

Long Summary
Sabo tells Dragon and Ivankov that his side accomplished everything they set out to do; they destroyed the World Noble’s symbol and declared war, they rescued Bartholomew Kuma and freed as many slaves as they could, and they managed to destroy Mary Geoise’s food reserves. Dragon tells Sabo that his actions got the Marine's attention and kept most of their forces' eyes on him, while the Revolutionary Army's influence sparked twelve nations to take up arms, eight of which were successful, with the exception of Lulusia, which has been annihilated. As such, the seven nations are no longer paying the Heavenly Tribute nor exporting natural resources. Ivankov adds that the Revolutionary Army is attacking World Government supply carriers all over the world to keep resources from reaching the Holy Land.

Ivankov considers this a huge success, as now, the people of Mary Geoise can see what it is like to be deprived of food and money. Dragon admits they are not cutting off all of their supplies, but they are definitely putting the squeeze on them. He knows, of course, that the World Government will not accept this situation and will dispatch God's Knights, which Dragon says is the real battle once they mobilize. Ivankov tells Sabo that he will be the Knights' main target, while Dragon tells him that regardless of what happened with King Cobra’s assassination, he is a hero in the eyes of the people.

Dragon says that in the eyes of the rebellious, authority figures in the World Government are treated as the enemy, but with that said, he acknowledges there are intelligent and fair rulers; Nefertari Cobra was one of them, but sometimes news does not travel accurately. Sabo admits it is cold to say this, but he confesses he can live with the way things turned out if it helps fuel the flames of rebellion, something Dragon admires. Ivankov then demands to know what happened as he shows a picture of Sabo standing over Cobra’s body in the newspaper and confesses everyone wanted to believe he did not kill him.

In a flashback over a month ago, the Revolutionary Army attacked Mary Geoise not long after the Levely began. Several World Nobles started fleeing out of fear, and one tried to kill their slave for being too slow, but he is saved by Karasu, who steals the Noble’s gun and tells the slave to escape to the east of the city. The World Noble’s bodyguards open fire on Karasu, but he takes no damage. As it turns out, Karasu ate the Susu Susu no Mi, which allows him to turn his body into soot and morph it to his will. With it, he dispatches his attackers using a move called Obelisusu. Meanwhile, Lindbergh uses his inventions to free several slaves as Karasu notifies him that the Admirals are on their way.

It isn’t long before Karasu finds himself fighting Fujitora, using a move called Karasu Renkon to match Fujitora’s gravity powers. Elsewhere, Morley is fighting Ryokugyu, though several World Nobles demand Ryokugyu be more careful for collateral damage or they will hang him, forcing Ryokugyu to hold back. When he asks Fujitora what he is doing, Fujitora reveals he is about to call down a meteor, which Ryokugyu says is a bad idea. On the outskirts of the city, Jabra, Blueno, Kalifa, Fukurou, and Kumadori, who are all now members of CP0, watch the carnage and admit how tough the Revolutionary Army is to be able to contend with the likes of two Admirals.

Sabo, meanwhile, is trying to get the keys for the slaves' collars when he sees Saint Charlos and his father Rosward riding Kuma, where Sabo learns that Charlos still plans on making Shirahoshi his slave. He contacts Morley to make sure everything is ready while he initiates his plan to save Kuma and stop Charlos. In addition, Jewelry Bonney was running around the castle grounds too.

Meanwhile, Nefertari Vivi is being followed by Rob Lucci, though she refuses to permit him to be by her side, following his refusal to help Shirahoshi earlier, whom Vivi was positive would be targeted again by Charlos, and wants to make sure he cannot. As for her father, he is told only he can have an audience with the Five Elders. Pell and Chaka try to refute this, but Cobra has them stand down, instead asking them to look after Vivi for him and not let her out of their sites.
