Short Summary
While Kuma shows up at the Red Line, both the CP0 and Vegapunk forces are busy formulating their strategy. As Bonney is still furious with Vegapunk, the Labophase defense system mysteriously goes down. During this opportunity, Kaku tries to destroy the Thousand Sunny but is stopped by Zoro. As the defense is restored and Bonney demands that Vegapunk restore her father Kuma to normal, the Kid Pirates arrive at their destination which turns out to be Elbaf. Meanwhile, Garp arrives at G-14 to lead the mission to rescue Koby.
