Short Summary
The Nine Red Scabbards manage to pierce their weapons through Kaido's skin with their Ryuo, and all-out war breaks out in the Skull Dome as the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance's forces mobilize. While Luffy confronts Big Mom, Kaido emerges from the attack with minor wounds and flies to the roof of the dome in his dragon form. The Scabbards follow him up, and face off with him under the light of the full moon. The Mink Tribe forces then join the Scabbards, and they along with Inuarashi and Nekomamushi begin activating their Sulong forms.
