Long Summary
Still in grief over Pedro's death, Carrot becomes furious at the sight of Perospero. Wanda consoles her, stating that Pedro took his turn as he promised and did not die with regrets. Together, they transform into their Sulong forms. Just before Perospero could fire his arrow, Wanda and Carrot appear and scratch his face.

Perospero immediately recognizes Carrot as the Mink who sunk the enemy ships on the waters of Totto Land. They reflect on Pedro's sacrifice, but Big Mom attempts to get away. While Marco pursues her, Wanda and Carrot confront Perospero.

Back in the bathhouse, Page One assists his sister, knocking Komachiyo away. He strikes Usopp with his dinosaur nose, sending him flying but landing safely onto Komachiyo's back. While Hihimaru the baboon holds Page One back, Komachiyo rides away, and Tama reveals that an enemy gave her a ride to Onigashima.

In the right brain tower, Yamato battles against the armoured division, breaking through their shields. Although Sasaki prepares to battle him personally, they are interrupted by Franky and Hatcha. Yamato fights Hatcha, defeating him with a single blow. He escapes with Shinobu and Momonosuke. While Sasaki sends a pursuit unit after them, the armoured division prepares to battle Franky.

As Yamato runs through the halls, he declares that the future of Wano Country lies in Momonosuke's hands.
