A wide view shows a cliffside island with a building on top. Narration states: "THAT IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF KAIDOU AND HIS BEASTS PIRATES." A small bubble adds "AN ISLAND...!!" Another caption reads: "THE DECISIVE BATTLE WILL OCCUR AT THE DEMON ISLAND, ONIGASHIMA." A close-up of a bearded man notes: "THE STRATEGY MEETING BEGINS AT THE RUINS OF ODEN CASTLE!" The chapter title appears: "CHAPTER 921: SHUTENMARU". Inside a ruined room with bookshelves, several figures sit and stand. One says: "SO WE DON'T NEED A FULL-SCALE SHIP TO GET THERE." Another replies: "BUT THE ISLAND IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE SEEN FROM THIS COUNTRY'S SHORES." A third adds: "INDEED! WE POSSESS A SHIP THAT CAN BE USED FOR THIS MISSION." A fourth questions: "DO WE HAVE TO SAIL TO THAT PLACE, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ALREADY IN THE WANO COUNTRYI" In a close-up, a woman with straight bangs states: "THEY CONSIDER KAIDOU TO BE A WISE KING WHO PROTECTS THIS COUNTRY." A final caption reads: "...OUR DECISIVE BATTLE WILL OCCUR DURING THE FIRE FESTIVAL. IT IS A GRAND FESTIVAL THAT IS CELEBRATED ANNUALLY BY THE RESIDENTS OF THE CAPITAL."

Kin'emon explains the Fire Festival plan: "WILL GO TO ONIGASHIMA TO 'PAY THEIR RESPECTS'... HOWEVER, THAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A FACADE! THE BEASTS PIRATES AND THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WILL HAVE A BANQUET ON THAT NIGHT....!" A close-up shows a woman with straight bangs as narration continues: "ON THE DAY OF THE FESTIVAL, OROCHI AND HIS SHOGUN PROCESSION..." Sanji reacts with shock "HUHI" while Kin'emon and others discuss O-Kiku: "INSTEAD OF BEING IN LOVE WITH THAT PERVERTED SAMURAI, ONCE SHE SEES MY GALLANT FORM~ MAYBE O-KIKU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH ME... BUT, SANJI, SHE'S SUPER-DUPER STRONG." Another ally adds, "I SEE! SO WE'LL BEAT UP THOSE IDIOTS WHILE THEY'RE IN A DRUNKEN STUPOR... AND THEN WE'LL TAKE DOWN THEIR COMMANDER!!!" Later, Kin'emon admits, "I SEE... I'M GLAD SHE'S ALL RIGHT. BUT I CANNOT REUNITE WITH HER YET..." as O-Tsuru appears and Sanji yells, "WHY THE HELL IS A MARRIED MAN LIKE YOU SO POPULAR!I I'M SO JEALOUS!!" O-Tsuru smiles, "O-TSURU IS DOING WELL."

Kin'emon holds up a card marked with two fire birds and a crescent moon, declaring: "SYMBOLISED BY TWO FIRE BIRDS ON TOP OF THE HABU PIT VIPER RESPECTIVELY!!...AND ALSO THE WILL OF REBELLION, THE WANING CRESCENT MOON!!! ALL RIGHT NOW! I HAVE DEPICTED THAT DECISIVE DAY AND PLACE ON THIS PAPER. AT THE HABU PORT, WHEN TWILIGHT COMES ON THE NIGHT OF THE FIRE FESTIVAL, OUR PLAN SHALL COMMENCE!!" He continues distributing cards: "TO THOSE WHO HAVE THE MARK OF A CRESCENT MOON ON THEIR LEFT ANKLE. THAT MARK IS THE WILL OF REBELLION! THEY ARE OUR ALLIES! WE MUST SPREAD THESE CARDS OUT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE... DON'T WORRY, THE CITIZENS OF THE WANO COUNTRY WILL UNDERSTAND THIS MESSAGE. FOR FOREIGNERS SUCH AS YOURSELVES, THAT'S THE TIME BETWEEN 5:30 AND 8:00 P.M. THE TWO BIRDS SYMBOLISE TWILIGHT." An ally notes, "ZOROJURO-DONO AND USOPACHI-DONO ARE CURRENTLY STATIONED IN THE CAPITAL. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THESE CARDS GET TO AS MANY OF OUR ALLIES AS POSSIBLE, I HAVE SENT OUR FELLOW COMRADES TO VARIOUS PLACES AROUND THIS COUNTRY. WE DO NOT KNOW WHERE EXACTLY TO FIND THESE PEOPLE... BUT...!" Someone replies, "AH, THEN I GUESS ZORO HASN'T BEEN VERY USEFUL."

Kin'emon reveals more plans: "...I HAVE SENT FRANOSUKE-DONO TO WORK AS AN APPRENTICE OF THE MAN WHO BUILT KAIDO'S RESIDENCE. HIS GOAL IS TO OBTAIN THE BLUEPRINTS OF THAT BUILDING...!!!" Sanji reacts excitedly with hearts: "I'VE HEARD THAT SHE'S ALREADY MADE A REPUTATION FOR HERSELF! BY MASQUERADING AS A GEISHA AND MAKING HIM WANT HER IN HIS SITTING ROOM!! I'D LOVE TO SEE ROBIN-CHAN AS A GEISHA~" A woman with a fan adds, "FURTHERMORE, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW THE MOVEMENTS OF OROCHI'S ARMY... O-ROBI-DONO IS TRYING TO GET CLOSER TO OROCHI..." The group discusses other roles: "WITH SANJI-DONO'S CULINARY SKILLS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO DRAW IN CROWDS OF PEOPLE AND FIND THOSE WE ARE SEARCHING FOR!! NAMI-DONO'S WEATHER TECHNIQUES ARE PRACTICALLY NINJUTSU!! IN ORDER TO SECURE THE FOOD SUPPLIES IN THE CAPITAL, AS FOR THE REST OF YOU, BROOK-DONO'S POWER WILL BE QUITE USEFUL..." Nami appears in a new outfit as Sanji cheers, "NAMI-SAN DRESSED AS A KUNOICHI!!" and Brook reacts, "HUHI IS THAT SOI"

Kin'emon shouts, "HERE WE GO!! CLOTHES-CLOTHES JUTSU!" as he transforms everyone. He instructs, "NOW... EVERYBODY, PUT A LEAF ON YOUR HEADS!! KIN'EMON, I WANT TO BE A NINJA, TOO! CARROT-DONO AND CHOPPER-DONO WILL GO WITH KIKI TO INUARASHI'S CURRENT LOCATION." A massive "POOF!!" cloud erupts with sound effects. Chopper transforms into a ninja outfit, yelling, "I'M A NINJA~" while hearts float around. Nami emerges in a revealing kunoichi outfit, striking a pose as Brook and others react with "WOOOOW!!" and "OOOOOOHH NAMI-SAN~~" Sanji swoons with hearts. The group stands transformed in the snowy mountain setting with arrows and debris flying.

Kin'emon stares in shock at the transformed figure before him. "THE ATTIRE OF A KUNOICHI!! THAT IS... YOU SURE YOU'RE NOT LYING TO ME!I" A voice replies, "WAIT A SECOND, KIN'EMON, IS THIS... REALLY WHAT A KUNOICHI SHOULD BE WEARING!I YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE YOUR ASSIGNED MISSIONS. ALL RIGHT, NOW THAT YOU HAVE ALL BLENDED IN WITH THE CULTURE OF THIS COUNTRY..." The group reacts with surprise as Shinobu appears in full kunoichi garb. "SHE'S DRESSED COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!! AT YOUR SERVICE!" Sanji exclaims, "WHAT A TREAT!! A REAL KUNOICHI~" while Luffy and others gape. "SHE IS A REAL KUNOICHI. NOW, LET'S CALL UPON THE PERSON WHO WILL GUIDE YOU." Someone mutters, "MMH... I WONDER IF I'LL BE ABLE TO CLOSE THIS UP. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF KUNOICHI... I THOUGHT I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SOMEONE WITH THEIR PANTS ON THEIR HEAD, BUT I WAS WRONG. WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR OUTFITI SANJI IS TREMBLING ALL OVER IN SHOCK...!!!"

Shinobu stands proudly in her kunoichi outfit. "SINCE YOU'RE SO YOUNGI FU FU FU. ISN'T IT FINE, MY NAME IS SHINOBU!!" She continues, "IF IT WEREN'T FOR NAMI-SAN BEING HERE, MY HEART WOULD BE SHATTERED ALREADY!!! THE TECHNIQUE THAT I EXCEL IN, AND MOST BEFITTINGLY... IS THE ART OF BEWITCHMENT!!! IN THE PAST, I WAS KIN'EMON'S PROTÉGÉ. BUT NOW, FUFUFU..." A sign reads "VETERAN KUNOICHI SHINOBU". Kin'emon declares, "THEIR NAMES ARE... KAWAMATSU, DENJIRO, AND ASHURA DOUJI!!!...IN THE PAST, THEY WERE SAMURAI WHO SERVED LORD ODEN JUST AS WE DID!! THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY STILL BE ALIVE!!! NOW, EVERYONE IS GOING TO GO TO THEIR RESPECTIVE AREAS UNTIL THE TIME COMES FOR US TO GATHER... BUT FIRST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE MUST DISCUSS THE THREE SAMURAI IN PARTICULAR THAT WE NEED TO FIND. IF WE CAN LOCATE THEM, THEY'LL BE AN ASSET WORTH 100 MEN EACH!!"

Panic erupts in Okobore Town as the Atamayama Thieves raid the area. "GIVE THAT BACK!! IT WAS GIVEN TO US BY LUFFYTARO...!!! RUN!! ESCAPE FROM THE TOWN!! THE ATAMAYAMA THIEVES ARE HERE!!!" A woman screams, "KYAAH! SHUT UP!!!" while another cries, "LUFFYTARO GAVE THOSE TO US!!" The thieves ransack supplies. "SHUT UP, GRAMPS!! DROP DEAD ALREADY!! PLEASE GIVE IT BACK. I WAS GOING TO FEED THAT TO MY GRANDSON...!!! THEY'VE GOT SOME GREAT STUFF HERE. MASTER SHUTENMARU!! THEY'VE GOT FRUIT, WINE, AND RICE!! WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE!I"

Shutenmaru looms over the scene with a fierce glare. "IS THERE SOME CHUMP OUT THERE PRETENDING TO BE A HERO THAT GIVES PEOPLE FOODI WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS...I IT WAS RENDERED MOOT AS SOON AS WE CAME TO STEAL THIS FOOD....THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY SAMURAI LEFT TO PROTECT THESE PITIFUL WEAKLINGS." A sign identifies him: "ATAMAYAMA THIEVES' LEADER SHUTENMARU". He continues, "WHAT A SHORT-LIVED ACT OF HEROISM." An old man retorts, "ISN'T THAT RIGHT, GRANNYI EVEN IF YOU CONTINUE TO LIVE... THAT STRONG SAMURAI CAN FOLLOW ANYMORE!!! THE WANO COUNTRY'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED...!!! YOU WILL WITNESS ONLY THE CRUEL TRUTH. THIS COUNTRY NO LONGER HAS ANY REAL MEN..."

An elderly woman clasps her hands and declares, "I believe in Lady O-Toki's final words." In the ruined town, a massive bandit leader roars "GRAND-MAAAAA!! WAAAAH!!" while a smaller figure shouts "I'M GOING TO KILL HER NOW." Voices plead, "RUN, GRANDMA!!!" and "PLEASE, WAIT!! PLEASE STOP THIS, YOU THIEVES!!" Shouts ring out: "MASTER SHUTENMARUUUUU!!!" and "GYAAAH!!!" A samurai warns, "NINE SAMURAI WILL DEFINITELY... CARRY OUT LORD ODEN'S WISHES...!!" Another retorts, "YOU FOOL! WITHOUT A GENERAL TO LEAD THEM, IT WON'T EVEN BE A FIGHT!!!" A fierce face snarls, "SHE'S BUT A DEAD PERSON." An explosion erupts with "BOOM!!" as Shutenmaru looms amid debris, a voice crying "MASTER SHUTENMARU...!! HE'S..."

Beasts Pirates All-Star Jack sits atop his massive mammoth form. A voice notes, "A PIRATE NAMED STRAW HAT LUFFY... SHOULD BE IN THIS AREA." Jack replies, "...SO, WE FINALLY MEET... LEADER OF THE THIEVES." He presents his answer by slamming down, declaring, "HERE'S YOUR ANSWER." The samurai gasps, "...!! THEN..." Jack continues, "WE'VE ONLY LEFT YOU ALIVE THIS LONG... BECAUSE KAIDO-SAN WANTS YOU TO BE HIS SUBORDINATE. IF I TELL YOU I DON'T KNOW HIM... WILL YOUR ATTITUDE CHANGEI"

A samurai yells, "DON'T UNDERESTIMATE SAMURAI...!!!" Jack grunts "GUGH!!" as a blade strikes. Another voice challenges, "HOW DARE YOU..." A tap sounds as the samurai lands, crying "MASTER JACK...!!I" The duel intensifies with the exclamation "WHAT AN INCREDIBLY HIGH LEVEL DUEL!!" Shutenmaru and Jack clash violently, sending debris flying as onlookers react in shock.

The fight rages as someone shouts, "THIS IS THE END... OKOBORE TOWN IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED!!" and "STARTED TO FIGHT...!!!" Shutenmaru swings his blade, yelling "MOVE AWAY FROM THEM!!! SHUTENMARU AND JACK HAVE..." A massive impact lands with "HIII-!!" Jack is struck, a voice screaming "MASTER JAAAAAAAACK!!I" Shutenmaru growls, "HM!I" and "SO THERE'S NO WAY A SMALL FRY LIKE YOU... IS TAKING ME DOWN...!!" while declaring "I DIDN'T DIE BACK THEN...!!" Townspeople cry out in terror.

Dark swirling clouds suddenly fill the sky above Okobore Town as shocked onlookers stare upward. "!! NO WAY..." someone exclaims amid the rumbling "ゴゴゴゴ..." A group including samurai and a mink watches the ominous change. Trafalgar Law, sweat on his face, shouts "NO!!" while others react with "HMI" and "...WHY..." Nearby figures wonder aloud, "I WONDER IF IT'S ABOUT TO RAIN..." and "WHY'D THE SKY CHANGE SO SUDDENLYI" Luffy turns with wide eyes and asks, "WHAT'S THE MATTER, TRA-GUY!I" From a distance, a voice urgently calls out, "HEY, STRAW HAT-YA! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" as the group reacts with surprise.

A massive black dragon with horns and flames erupts from the clouds, roaring as it declares, "BRING THOSE BRATS TO ME... RIGHT NOW..." The beast's arrival sends shockwaves through the area with heavy "ゴゴゴ" impacts. Onlookers panic: "HUH!I THE SKY..." "THIS IS BAD, STRAW HAT!" and "NO WAY, WHY IS HE...!!!" A close-up reveals a scarred man realizing, "THAT'S KAIDOU." Luffy stares in disbelief, shouting, "WHO THE HELL IS THAT!!I...A DRAGON!!I" while another figure yells, "JACK....!!!" and a subordinate answers, "HEY. SIR!!" A narration box states, "A SUDDEN TURN OF EVENTS! THE BOSS HAS ARRIVED!!"
