The brokers in the New World continue to look on, surprised that Caesar managed to capture so many renowned individuals. Amongst them are Kid and Killer, who themselves have offered an alliance with Apoo and Hawkins, albeit reluctantly. On Punk Hazard, Law begins setting their counterattack in motion. He asks Franky to burn a nearby ship to create a smokescreen, then reveals that he had swapped some of the seastone chains in the laboratory with normal ones, allowing him to break free. He puts Smoker and Tashigi back in their original bodies, asking for their assistance in return for their lives. Outside, the rest of the Straw Hats and Kin'emon continue to flee from Shinokuni. Sanji, Zoro, Brook, and Kin'emon catch up to the dragon, while Usopp and Nami ride on Brownbeard. Kin'emon and Zoro cut through the iron shutters, and all of them reach the laboratory at the same time. Luffy notes that everyone is present, and is ready to begin the counterattack.
