Luffy respawns after a devastating blow by Kaidou. He wonders why he can’t stand still even though he lost. His confusion turns into laughter as he starts having fun for some reason. As his heartbeat echoes throughout Wano, Momonosuke tells Yamato that Zunesha told him Luffy is Joy Boy.

Meanwhile, Sanji wakes up after hearing Luffy’s heartbeat, Nami and Tama cry tears of happiness, and others like Law and Drake are pleasantly surprised to hear that he’s alive. In the Sacred Marijoa, the Five Elders wonder if sacrificing one of their elite agents and making Kaidou angry was worth killing Luffy.

Ultimately, they agree that it is better to eliminate a greater potential danger. They then reveal that the World Government has attempted to recover the Gum-Gum fruit in every era, and not once has it ever succeeded. It is as though the Devil Fruit is trying to escape their grasp.

Zoan fruits contain a will of their own, and Luffy’s fruit possesses a body with the properties of rubber and fights in whatever way he wants. It brings smiles to people’s faces, and this warrior of liberation is also called Nika, the Sun God.

Meanwhile, Hiyori witnesses Orochi slowly falling into his demise. He begs her to save him and says that he was forced by Kaidou to betray Oden. He showers the late samurai with shallow praises, but nothing fazes Hiyori.

She tells him how Oden endured all the suffering caused by him and Kaidou with a smile on his face just because he believed in freeing the people of Wano.

She says that she’s taking her revenge by making him suffer just like he made her father suffer. Kanjuro meekly makes his way towards Orochi, and in a desperate attempt, he asks him to kill Hiyori. His attempt is in vain as Kanjuro sets both himself and Orochi on fire.

We cut back to Luffy when his body bulks up, and his massive hand tightly grips Kaidou. He tosses the dragon in the air and swings him.

Kaidou is happy that Luffy is awake, thanks him for surviving. As the chapter ends, Luffy activates his Gear 5 form and asks Kaidou to continue their battle.
