Protect history and the future. Robin and Gaban go on the attack:

A platform-shaped arrow separates Ronja from the children line and puts her on the verge of falling from the top of the tree. Sommers threatens saying they have 30 seconds to comply with their demands or they will start throwing the children. Robin arrives at Sommers' location and interrupts him with an attack. Robin uses one of her submission techniques to pin Sommers and causes them both to fall from the top of the branch. Sommers tries to free himself by growing thorns on his body, but Robin turns out to be one her clones, the real one was freeing her nakamas. Sommers saves himself from falling by growing a vine of thorns with which he is suspended from the tree branch. Meanwhile, Ronja speaks out to the people of Elbaph saying how much she appreciates the school and the library, she is willing to sacrifice herself to keep both. However, Jarul wrapped in tears cannot help but give Ange the order to burn both places to save the girl. At that moment, Sommers manages to return to the branch and neutralizing Robin by wrapping her with his brambles. But suddenly someone cuts Sommers' arm and for some reason it doesn't regenerate. Scopper Gaban appears and neutralizes Sommers with another attack.

Still practicing:

After taking the combined attack from Loki and Luffy, Imu crashes into the trunk of the Adam Treasure Tree. Loki transforms into his hybrid form to finish him off, but Luffy can't take it anymore and collapses to the ground. Brook's group is watching the battle, and it seems that Gunko is finally beginning to regain consciousness. Meanwhile, at the Owl Library, Biblo leads the group to a chest containing something important that has been passed down through generations. In the western village, the giants face off against Zaza as they try to save the children. At the port, Sommers grows desperate as Killingham is delayed. Sommers surrounds Zoro with his brambles. Zoro think about how to use his "dynasty traits" to harm him while recalling the story Loki told them. Zoro realizes that Harald wanted Loki to shatter his "steel heart", the source of his immortality. Zoro cuts through the brambles and pierces Sommers, grazing his heart. He then apologizes, saying he's still practicing.

We won't stand for it!!:

The combined attack sends Imu flying. Immediately afterward, Loki leaps onto Imu and tries to crush him with Ragnir. Imu flies and manages to dodge the hammer blow, but Luffy arrives with a rain of blows mid-air. Imu uses the swords Tohu and Bohu to create a shield to block the punches, then slams Luffy into the ground. Gaban keeps urging Hajrudin to flee with Luffy, since he doesn’t even know the reason for this battle. However, Usopp interrupts him and says that Luffy’s past experiences with all his giant friends are enough for him. Usopp asks them to stop projecting Nika, Joy Boy, or even Roger onto Luffy. This is who he is, and they won’t let the expectations they place on him ruin his freedom. Back to the fight, Loki charges Ragnir with lightning for a powerful attack. Luffy then has an idea and steps into the hammer’s path to be sent flying toward Imu, landing a powerful punch that pierces through his shield.

A despicable hostage game. Sommers' brazen demands:

Gunko arrives to Sommers after capturing the Straw Hat crew. Gunko intends to make Brook her slave so he composes songs for her, but Sommers tells her to let the crew go so they don't get in trouble with a Yonkou. For his part, Brook replies that he would rather die than live without honor. Sommers addresses via Dengo Mushi to all Elbaph, revealing that the monsters besieging the towns are work of the Holy Knight. Sommers warns that they have the children and that they have defeated Saul. Meanwhile, the Kyohei Pirates are being attacked by the monsters of the children's mothers, their own wives, who are also their greatest fear. Sommers now speaks directly to Jarul, as the leader of Elbaph. If they want to save the children, they must destroy the school, the library and Ohara's documents. However, both Robin and Ya-san are unwilling to let that happen.

The threat of the Aro Aro no Mi. Gunko vs. the Straw Hat crew:

Gunko reveals to the group in Collon's svalr her intention of taking the children to Mary Geoise. Brook realizes that she is not a simple Tenryuubito, but a member of the Order of the Holy Knights. Nami becomes enraged and tries to attack Gunko, but her attack is deflected and ends up hitting Brook. Usopp manages to hit Gunko with an explosive attack, but she regenerates in the same way the Gorousei members did. Gunko talks about a "great battle" that is coming and the importance of which side the giants take. Next, Gunko manages to capture Collon while disposing of the crew with her ability. Meanwhile, Killingham has defeated Director Kiba and has discovered that the country's communication is limited to the "Dengo Mushi". Sommers is confronting Saul and wants to finish him off before speaking to the whole nation. Sommers also shows his discontent after seeing what the mighty Elbaph has become after Harald's reign.

Elbaph in flames. Explosive! Jinbe's Ipponzeoi:

Zoro, Sanji and Goldberg went hunting in search of some meat for Loki. After confronting a dinosaur, they notice that Goldberg's shield is alive. Goldberg explains that it's a Homie resulting from his father's confrontation with Big Mom years ago. Meanwhile, Loki tells the others that he was visited by the Holy Knights. When the hunting party returns with the meat, Luffy tries to force Loki to eat it quickly without letting it get cold. Loki tells Luffy, that believe it or not, he understands his fascination for Shanks. As a child, he wanted to ship with Rocks Pirates and therefore feels he was born in the wrong era. In the village, the Kyohei Pirates and Ya-san take on all the monsters while the firefighters try to extinguish the fire. The line of children is about to go into the flames, but Jinbe decides to intervene and jumps into the sea clouds to throw them and put out the fire. Angry with what happened, Gunko invades Collon's svalr.

There's still Loki:

A badly wounded Luffy approaches Gaban and apologizes because he has lost an arm while trying to protect him. Luffy asks who the person they're facing is, to which Gaban replies that, in a word, it would be "God". Meanwhile, Imu regrets not having wiped out Roger Pirates alongside Rocks. Imu begins to radiate a massive amount of Ambition, undergoing yet another transformation. At the same time, at the Owl Library, Saul takes Chopper to Biblo so he can translate what he has to tell them. Meanwhile, Imu reaches Gaban and Luffy. Gaban asks Luffy to flee with his crew from Elbaph, but Luffy refuses. Imu tries to finish them both off, but Hajrudin appears and sends him flying with a punch. Gaban asks Hajrudin to flee with Luffy, but he also refuses, saying that a warrior must be willing to die, and even if he dies, there's still Loki. Luffy and Loki recover from their wounds and launch a final attack on Imu alongside Hajrudin.
