The festival continues to be in full bloom at the Flower Capital, but people are already preparing for its end. Kaido and Luffy are still fighting, but Kaido has started drinking. He begins laughing with tears in his eyes, making Luffy scold him for being drunk. Kaido clarifies that this means he acknowledges Luffy's strength. He begins a series of attacks that are strong enough to crack the ground.

Kaido's mood changes, and he starts getting sad while attacking Luffy. Luffy manages to counterattack. The two of them clash once again using their Haki. Kaido is now enraged, and both of them exchange blows. Luffy eventually lands a kick that was strong enough to make Kaido cough out a bit of blood.

Meanwhile, at Marijoa, the Five Elders talk about what's happening in Wano. They certainly did not expect that the battle would come to this. Either way, they're discussing how a fight involving Kaido and Big Mom could be beneficial for them. For some reason, they also think that the CP0 members have successfully captured Robin already.

The Five Elders also discuss a mysterious Devil Fruit with a name that the World Government changed, aiming to remove the original name from history. On the other hand, the World Government ships waiting near Wano encounter a massive shadow of an elephant.
