He is also ready to take action on their attack at him. Now, Orochi can sleep peacefully at night.

However, Orochi isn’t aware that the raid at Onigashima has begun already. The Easter, as well as the Southern troops, are being led by Kine’mon and Denjiro whereas the other scabbards will be coming with Law through the sea.

Even though not all beast pirates are aware of him being the spy, Kanjuro says that he is lost inside Onigashima as it’s his first time, making it hard for him to navigate.

Kanjuro still needs to deliver his report to Orochi, which he can’t because he’s lost.

The Straw Hats have divided their teams after entering. Luffy and Zoro are going on their own. Usopp, Chopper, Nami, Sanji, Carrot, and Shinobu are together. Moreover, we see Usopp and Chopper driving the Brachio Tank V.

While Franky and Brook ride the Kurosai FR-U IV, Robin and Jinbe are going on foot without being noticed by anyone.

Later on, Another Headliner gets introduced, her name is Bao Huang. Her job is managing schedules for Kaido and crew.

On the other hand, Kaido assigns the Tobiroppo aka the Flying Six to find his son. If they were to find him, they will get an opportunity to challenge the All-stars, the winner will get the position of the one who loses.
