Long Summary
Tonoyasu takes Zoro to his hometown, Ebisu Town. The town is poverty-stricken like Okobore Town, but its citizens laugh despite their circumstances. Citizens of the town claim that an unknown thief named Ushimitzu Kozo steals from the rich and gives the money to poor tenements. A girl offers him a cup of clean water, which to them is a luxury.

Meanwhile at the Flower Capital, Orochi demands a luxurious dinner, wastefully rejecting many of the prepared meals offered to him. He also demands several geishas, including Robin undercover, to dance for him. Komurasaki and the Kyoshiro Family also join in the dinner party.

Sanji is working at his soba shop when Law comes and warns him of incoming threats. He explains that the top six Shinuchi of the Beasts Pirates are known as Tobiroppo. Two of these Tobiroppo, Page One and X Drake, are after Sanji, with Hawkins also joining in. Both are Ancient Zoan users; Page One can transform into a spinosaurus and Drake an allosaurus.

At Udon, Caribou tells Luffy a false rumour that Eustass Kid lost his arm at the hands of one of Big Mom's subordinates. Kid suddenly appears and debunks this rumour, stating that he lost his arm battling the Red Hair Pirates.

Nami and Shinobu land their kites on the rooftop of Orochi's mansion and make their way inside. Inside, Robin sneaks out. Brook also snoops around, using his Devil Fruit ability to separate his soul from his body. He finds a strangely reinforced door and upon passing through the door, he finds Kaidou's Poneglyph.

In Onigashima, Kaidou is informed that Big Mom is arriving from the southeast, and that her ship is riding up the waterfall being carried by carp. Kaidou orders his men to fire at her ship. The cannons fire, but Perospero blocks the fire with candy, then other Big Mom Pirates destroy the cannons. Big Mom exclaims that she won't let Luffy get away.
