Short Summary
Kawamatsu and Sanji try to save Momonosuke from Kanjuro, but Kanjuro keeps them away with his art creations as he flies Momonosuke away on a bird. Despite his fear and lack of strength, Momonosuke assures the alliance that he will find a way to escape on his own. The remaining Beasts Pirates ship retreats, only to resume attacking from a distance with long-range cannons. However, Jinbe then attacks the ship and reveals himself, having come from Totto Land alive as promised.

Long Summary
The Beasts Pirates battleship begins sinking rebel ships with long range cannons, as the Straw Hats decide to advance on it. Everyone on the battlefield realize the disadvantage, while Kidd is not concerned. Soon the battleship is sunk, as a voice is heard introducing himself as the newest recruit of the Straw Hat Pirates and stating he is Jinbe. Kidd is shocked to hear Jinbe has joined Luffy while Law is shocked by Jinbe's presence.

Having reintroduced himself, Jinbe tells Luffy that he kept his word of returning alive to join the raid on Onigashima, with the Straw Hats happy he made it.
