Yamato glares at the chaos, declaring that trying to win Drake over was a bust and it's time to switch gears. X Drake and Scratchmen Apoo appear in the background as Yamato shouts, "Drake...!! Apoo...!! Why is one of the Flying Six here with an informantI!" Apoo smirks and taunts, "So I'm not on your side!! Not now! And I've cut ties with Kaido." He adds playfully, "Have I got some news for you- let's rap!" while singing "Young master~♪". Fuga growls nearby with a "Fuga...". Drake yells, "Fo' realI! Then you'll really wanna hear this-♪".

At the Pleasure Hall, Left-Brain Tower, Skull Dome, a confrontation unfolds. A man in a suit declares, "Yeah, I am, but you've got it wrong! It wasn't me!!" while another retorts, "You're with the rebel army, aren't youI" and questions, "How could youI! She's just a young girl!!". Inside, a woman screams, "We just want to hide in peace!! Get out!!" as the suited man kicks violently with "Don't play dumb! You were alone with her!" and "SMACK!". A child cries, "WAAH...! I couldn't have... I could never...". Observers react in horror: "Everything about you goes against what I stand for!" and "You beat her till she lost consciousnessI! Your sadism is disgusting!!". One figure concludes, "This isn't right!! A man marking a lady is the one thing I'd never do...".
The massive snake-like creature looms over the street, snarling at the man in black. "DIDN'T YOU GET THE MEMO, YOU GERMA DOLTI! THE PLEASURE HALL IS CLOSED!!" A voice laughs from the side, "HEY YOU'RE BACK! MUHAHAHA! WHERE'D YOU RUN OFF TOI" The creature wonders internally, "THAT TINGLING SENSATION STOPPED... IS THE TRANSFORMATION OVERI" The blond man stands silently. A terrified geisha cowers nearby, crying out, "KYAA! I'M SORRY! I'M... I'M JUST A GEISHA FROM THE FLOWER CAPITAL...!!!" She recalls, "I REMEMBER BEING LOST IN THOUGHT, THEN..." In a sudden flashback, the geisha lies bleeding on the ground as the narration states, "...BLEEDING!! THE NEXT THING I KNEW, SHE WAS ON THE FLOOR..." The blond man glares down with sharp teeth visible. The geisha pleads, "PLEASE, DON'T HURT ME!!" while adding, "KAIDO'S MEN BROUGHT ME HERE...

Sanji looks down and asks quietly, "HEY, LUFFY... WHICH VERSION OF ME DO YOU WANT AROUNDI" A close-up shows the geisha's terrified eyes as narration notes, "...IN HER EYES!! SHE HAD A TERRIFIED LOOK..." The snake-like creature, now sprouting propellers and mechanical parts, declares, "BUT AS A 'SOLDIER OF SCIENCE,' I'D BE ABLE TO COLDLY EXECUTE ANYONE YOU ORDERED ME TO!!! EVEN A BEAST LIKE THIS WOULD BE EASY TO DISMEMBER." It continues, "MY HUMAN SIDE HAS ALWAYS MADE ME USELESS AGAINST FEMALE ENEMIES..." Sanji crushes a Germa-labeled canister in his hand. The creature cheers, "OOOH! YOU'RE FINALLY BREAKING OUT THE GERMA SUITI!" Sanji replies, "I'VE MADE UP MY MIND. I'M NOT SURE I KNOW THE ANSWER, BUT...!!!" while thinking, "WHAT KIND OF PERSON DOES THE PIRATE KING NEED BY HIS SIDE...I"

Sanji continues, "BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER AT THIS POINT!!" as the crushed canister flies away. The creature adds, "...BY WEARING THIS DAMN THING, MY DORMANT, AUGMENTED ABILITIES WERE AWAKENED..." The snake-like beast lunges forward with a massive "SMASH!!" Sanji stands firm amid the impact. The creature yells, "GAH!! WHAT A WASTE!! I WANTED TO SEE YOU MORPH!!" Sanji declares, "I'M NOT GONNA LOSE ANY MORE OF MYSELF!! I'LL NEVER BELONG TO GERMA!!" A ringing transponder snail appears as Sanji lights a cigarette. He states, "FAREWELL, WOMEN'S BATHS!! I'LL FIND MY OWN WAY TO END THIS FIGHT!!" and concludes, "FAREWELL, GERMA!!"

A close-up shows a startled face with "HMI" as the figure vanishes amid "VANISH". In the next sequence, a surprised voice exclaims "WHATI" while the captive struggles, "I WANT YOU TO PUT ME DOWN!!" A massive explosive clash erupts with the caption "A STRIKE THAT SHOWS HIS RESOLVE!!" and the cry "AGH!!" The devastating technique is unleashed: "HELL MEMORIES!!" Elsewhere, a composed figure states, "NOT SURE I GET IT, BUT FINE, IF IT COMES TO THAT..." and "I'LL MAKE IT SWIFT." The reply comes, "SO THAT MEANS..." followed by "THANKS."
