In his cell, Kawamatsu muses about how noisy things have gotten since Luffy showed up and prays that he makes sure Hyogoro doesn't die.Īt the Flower Capital bath house, Drake and Hawkins have raided the place, much to the surprise of everyone bathing. Everyone is stunned, while Queen is amused by Luffy's ability to use Haoshoku Haki. Unimpressed, Luffy calls for the next round. Luffy only grins as he unleashes a burst of Haoshoku Haki, knocking out every fighter. A female Beast Pirates member gives the signal to start and the fighters charge at Luffy, weapons drawn. The crowd starts cheering as Queen begins the match.
Queen berates Luffy for his rudeness and asks if he was paying attention. Luffy asks Queen, addressing him as Balloon, if beating him would set him free. Hyogoro asks Queen if they can go one at a time, saying he'll get in Luffy's way.
Luffy is elated to be free from the cuffs, and tells Queen he is actually a good person for basically letting them go free, prompting a baffled Queen to remind Luffy about the collars, saying they are worse than the handcuffs. As an act of mercy, Queen removes their seastone handcuffs, prompting Raizo to realize he grabbed the wrong key. There is no limit to the number of fighters Queen can put in a match, or the weapons they can use. However, Luffy can opt out of the execution right now if he chooses to join Kaidou's crew. They will be fine as long as they keep winning, but will die if they step out of the ring and thus the execution will be over.
Queen further explains that the pair of them will be fighting a series of sumo matches. Luffy likens them to the bomb collars that the Celestial Dragons use on their slaves. Using a pillar to demonstrate, Queen explains that if either of them leave the ring, claws will shoot out of the collar and decapitate them. Luffy and Hyogoro are fitted with large collars. The event is ostentatiously titled "Queen's Contraception Concert: Sumo Inferno".

One of the jailers sees them talking and informs Solitaire. This pleases Kawamatsu, who asks Raizo to free him, the ninja happily agrees and Kawamatsu tells him to get the key to the cell. Kawamatsu inquires as to the date of the big battle and Raizo informs him about the Fire Festival. He asks to see his friend's face, but Kawamatsu can't since he is chained up. Raizo is amazed to learn his friend Kawamatsu is still alive. Meanwhile, Zoro chases the man who stole Shusui to Ringo, and the man reveals that he returned it to Ryuma's grave as the two prepare to fight for the weapons in each other's possession. He reveals to them that the Heart Pirates were captured, and that they need to tell Law before he is lured to his crewmates.
Sanji inadvertently reveals his presence in his Raid Suit, and escapes with Nami, Robin, and Shinobu. Meanwhile, Drake and Hawkins' platoon raids the Flower Capital bathhouse to arrest anyone with a crescent moon symbol on their ankle.
