Chapter 879 is titled "Big Mom Commander Dogtooth." The cover story continues: "DROPPING IN ON THE LIVES OF THE STRAW HAT GRAND PIRATE FLEET, VOL. 13, SAI ARC 'THE INEVITABLE FALLOUT FROM BREAKING OFF AN ENGAGEMENT.'" Sai stands in the middle of the fallout from ending his engagement, with angry figures around him and Uholicia present in the scene. The extra page connects back to Sai's personal obligations outside the main Whole Cake Island escape.

Rain falls on the Thousand Sunny after Pedro's explosion and Luffy's disappearance into the mirror world. Brook stands soaked and shattered, saying, "NO... I CAN'T BELIEVE PEDRO..." The grief spreads across the deck as the crew stares into the rain. Someone cries, "IF ONLY WE WERE STRONGER!!" and Nami, Carrot, and Chopper all sit in stunned silence, faces wet with rain and tears. The page holds the crew in the moment after escape: Pedro is gone, Luffy is separated from them, and the ship is still inside enemy territory. No one has time to mourn properly, but the loss has landed fully on the Sunny.

Jinbe refuses to let grief freeze the crew. He says, "OUR ENEMIES SHOULD BE THE ONES CRYING RIGHT NOW. DON'T LET YOUR HEARTS GET TOO CLOUDED." Chopper protests, "NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, JINBE!" but Jinbe continues, "I'M TELLING YOU THAT THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO BE LETTING DOWN YOUR GUARD!" He reminds them that Pedro's own words should be pushing them forward: "THOSE STONE-HEARTED WORDS SURE FELL RATHER EASILY FROM YOUR LIPS, DIDN'T THEY?!" and then, "BACK AT THE COAST, IT WAS KILL, OR BE KILLED. AND WE KNEW THAT FULL WELL, COMING IN." His verdict is harsh but precise: "THIS IS... A VICTORY FOR PEDRO!" The escape they still have is the result Pedro died to create.

Jinbe sharpens the point by making them look at the battle from the enemy's side. "YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WATCHING, HAVEN'T YOU? JUST HOW MANY DO YOU THINK OUR ENEMIES HAVE LOST?" he asks. "FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE, THEY'RE GOING THROUGH AN UNPRECEDENTED DISASTER!" He asks them, "CAN'T YOU HEAR PEDRO CRYING OUT FROM WITHIN YOURSELVES?" and gives the message in Pedro's voice: "KEEP PUSHING FORWARD!" Jinbe lays out the threats still around them: "DOGTOOTH'S GOT A BILLION BERRY BOUNTY! LUFFY'S LIFE IS ON THE LINE!" He continues, "LUFFY GRASPED THE SITUATION IN AN INSTANT, AND ENACTED A PLAN TO TAKE ON THE ENEMY BY HIMSELF!" Behind them are Big Mom and Totto Land; ahead may be enemy ships beyond the mist. The only answer is to keep moving.
The crew turns grief into work. Jinbe shouts, "DON'T LET YOUR GUARDS DOWN!" and demands, "CAN'T YOU HEAR PEDRO CRYING THAT OUT?!" Chopper asks Nami for orders: "NAMI, TELL US WHAT TO DO!" Nami recalls the promise from the others: "FROM CACAO ISLAND VIA THIS ROUTE, SO... SANJI AND THE OTHERS PROMISED TO COME." She tells the crew, "WE'VE GOTTA MAKE SURE WE DON'T JUST MISS EACH OTHER!" Then she gives precise sailing commands: "RUDDER TO STARBOARD!" and "WE'LL TAKE THE WIND ON OUR STARBOARD SIDE, AND HEAD STRAIGHT WEST! MAKE A BEELINE FOR THE RENDEZVOUS POINT!" She adds, "A SLIGHTLY STRONGER WIND WILL BLOW SOON! WE NEED IT AS A TAILWIND!" Brook says, "I'LL FILL UP THE EMPTY COLA BARRELS WE USED UP!" and Jinbe answers, "I'LL TAKE CARE OF WATCHING OVER THE OCEAN CURRENTS!"

The sea immediately answers with danger. Nami sees ships ahead and warns, "THEY'RE COMING! FROM OUR 6 O'CLOCK!" She adds, "THE SHIPS FROM BEFORE, AND..." Then Big Mom appears on the water itself. Someone shouts, "BIG MOM!" as she roars, "CAAAA AAAAA AAKE!" The crew realizes the impossible truth: "SHE'S WALKING ON THE WAVES!" Jinbe rejects the obvious denial, saying, "IMPOSSIBLE! THERE'S NO WAY, I DON'T CARE WHAT-" but Big Mom is already advancing over the sea. The Sunny is fleeing by wind and current, yet Big Mom's hunger is letting her cross the waves as if the ocean cannot stop her.

The truth of Big Mom's movement becomes visible beneath her feet. It is "NOT ON THE WAVES, BUT ON A GIANT, MOVING MASS OF CANDY!" Nami identifies it in pieces: "CANDY..." while Perospero emerges and names his creation: "CANDY SEA SLUG!" He laughs, "KUKU-KUKU!" and complains, "WHERE THE HELL DID ZEUS GET OFF TO?! HE'S THE ONE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO CARRY MAMA OVER THE SEAS!" Because Zeus is gone, Perospero has replaced the cloud with candy and carries Big Mom across the ocean himself. The image is grotesque and practical: Big Mom strides forward on the living candy platform while Perospero, injured and dripping, keeps the chase alive.

Perospero reveals that Pedro did not kill him. He says, "WELL, WHATEVER. I JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE DEVELOPED A RATHER PROFOUND HATRED FOR THESE FOOLS." His right arm is gone, but he says, "IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME TOO MUCH THAT I LOST MY RIGHT ARM, NO... I CAN JUST USE CANDY TO MAKE UP FOR IT." He holds up the replacement and adds, "BUT EVERY TIME MY RIGHT HAND MELTS WITH THE HEAT OF A CUP OF THE BLACK TEA I LIKE TO ENJOY IN THE AFTERNOON, WELL... I CAN'T HELP BUT REMEMBER IT! THE FACE OF THAT BLASTED JAGUAR MINK!" He asks Napoleon, "DON'T YOU AGREE, NAPOLEON? THERE CAN BE NO SHAME GREATER THAN THIS!" His revenge target becomes clear: "THAT BLOODY CAT'S FRIENDS... HOW SHALL I MAKE THEM SUFFER?"

Inside the Totland seas, Chiffon and Pudding fly toward Cacao Island on the carpet. Pound sees Chiffon from below and is stunned: "I MUST BE MISTAKEN, BUT... THAT LOOKS LIKE MY DAUGHTER. CHIFFON!" He is identified as "CHIFFON AND LOLA'S FATHER." Pudding and Chiffon discuss the minister post on Cacao Island. Pudding says, "THE CHOCOLATE MINISTER OF CACAO ISLAND! EVER SINCE SHE'S BEEN GONE, THAT MINISTER SEAT HAS BEEN VACANT!" Chiffon confirms, "THAT'S RIGHT! LOLA WAS," and Pudding adds, "AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT EVERYONE WOULD LET YOU TAKE IT, YOU'VE CONTINUOUSLY REFUSED THAT POST!" Chiffon begins to object, "B... BUT! TO ME," because for her the matter is tied to Lola, family, and obligation rather than status.

Chiffon explains why Cacao Island matters: "THE ONLY FITTING CHOCOLATE MINISTER OF CHOCOLATOWN IS SISTER LOLA! I ALWAYS HOPED SHE'D ONE DAY COME HOME, AND..." She is told, "SO LOLA BACK FROM THRILLER BARK WAS A FAMOUS CHOCOLATIER, HUH?" and then urged, "THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD, PUDDING, BUT CAN YOU GET OUT OF THERE ALREADY?" Pudding is awkwardly clinging to the carpet and snaps, "PEOPLE WILL THINK WE'RE SOME SORT OF COUPLE OR SOMETHING!" Chiffon teases, "AHAHAHAHAHA! IF I SIT ON THE SAME CARPET AS THAT MAN WHILE WEARING THIS WEDDING DRESS," and Pudding sputters, "IT'S ANNOYING! AHAHAHA! A-A... ANNOYING!" Despite the comedy, Chiffon keeps the mission moving: "PUDDING! WHATEVER. WE'LL BE AT CACAO ISLAND SOON." Pudding answers, "OKAY! LET'S MAKE THIS THING QUICKLY!" while thinking of Sanji: "KYAAAAAH! HOW NICE IS HE?! HE'S ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT ME!" then yelling aloud, "S-SHUT UP, DUMMY! I GET TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT I FALL, OKAY, SANJI?!"

In the mirror world, Luffy attacks Katakuri with "GOMU GOMU NO" and then "HAWK GATLING!" while the Charlotte spectators mock him. One says, "GYAHAHA! IT'S USELESS! ACCEPT THE LOSS, STRAW HAT!" Another says, "LORD KATAKURI IS THE STRONGEST OF THE THREE COMMANDERS!" A third jeers, "YOU AREN'T GETTING BACK TO THAT SHIP! YOU AREN'T EVEN GETTING OUT OF HERE!" Luffy keeps punching anyway, turning the mirrored space into a storm of Haki-coated fists. The crowd sees only an impossible matchup, but Luffy is using the isolated battlefield exactly as intended: Katakuri is no longer on the Sunny.

Katakuri answers Luffy's assault with calm superiority. He says, "FUFU... NOT QUITE RIGHT, HUH?" and reshapes his own arms into multiple fists. Luffy breathes hard, "HAA... HAA..." while Katakuri says, "THIS IS WAY MORE EFFICIENT!" The mochi fists strike faster and harder, overwhelming Luffy and throwing him across the mirror world. Onlookers cry, "LORD KATAKURI! THAT'S NOT FAIR!" but Katakuri's point is that fairness is irrelevant. He has taken the same broad idea as Luffy's rapid punches and refined it through his own ability, turning Luffy's attack pattern back on him in a more controlled form.

Katakuri states the gap between them directly. "I TOLD YOU. IN TERMS OF OUR POWERS, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO THAT I CAN'T," he says. Then he adds, "SPEED, POWER, ALL OF IT. YOU ARE INFERIOR." As Luffy begins, "GOMU GOMU NO..." Katakuri says, "LIKE RUBBER WOULD EVER LOSE TO MOCHI!" Luffy fires a "HAWK STAMP!" but Katakuri avoids and counters, sending Luffy crashing backward with "GUWAH!" The fight is not only strength against strength; Katakuri is using superior prediction, control, and an ability that mirrors Luffy's body in a more versatile form.

Luffy suddenly disappears from Katakuri's sight. The onlookers shout, "HE DISAPPEARED!" as Luffy uses speed and misdirection to slip the immediate line of attack. Katakuri whips around and kicks, his leg sweeping through the mirror world with enough force to smash the area around him. The exchange is almost all motion and impact: Luffy vanishes, Katakuri responds instantly, and both fighters keep shifting positions through the broken mirrored landscape. Katakuri still looks composed, but the page shows that Luffy is not simply being crushed; he is testing movement, timing, and openings inside the mirror world.

Katakuri understands what Luffy is doing and corrects him with a warning. "A TEST OF POWER NEXT, HUH? GET THE HINT," he says. Luffy, irritated, bites into his thumb and starts another Gear Third attack: "GOMU GOMU NO" as air floods into his arm. The spectators react, "A HUUUGE PUUUUNCH!" Luffy forms the enormous fist and begins, "ELE-PHANT," but Katakuri watches without panic. The page makes Luffy's pattern clear: after rapid punches and movement, he tries a pure power blow, while Katakuri is already reading the sequence and waiting to prove that he can answer that too.

Luffy releases "ELEPHANT GUN!" with a massive inflated fist, but Katakuri answers by making his own even larger mochi fist. The spectators shout, "BUT LORD KATAKURI'S IS BIGGER!" and Katakuri's blow overpowers Luffy's attack. Luffy is driven back with "UHH-GH!" as the huge fist crashes into him. Katakuri comments, "THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH, RIGHT?" while the caption calls the scale of his power "A 1 BILLION BOUNTY'S POWER... ABSOLUTE SUPREMACY!" The chapter ends with the title reminder and the comparison made brutal: Luffy tried "AN ELEPHANT GUN," but Katakuri met it with a larger, stronger version and dominated the exchange.
