In a different place, Oars chases Usopp and Sanji respectively, while this interruption makes

it possible for Absalom to once again steal Nami away from Sanji. The crew is reunited, just
as Oars is standing in the courtyard, yelling at the Straw Hats to come out, to which Franky
replies that they have to take him down together. Luffy continues to chase Moria while the
rest of the crew, minus Nami, faces off against Oars,[29] who identifies them by their bounty
posters on his arm. Each of the Straw Hats tries attacking Oars individually, but to no avail,
and no small amount of salt can purify him as he pummels the crew.[30]

Meanwhile, Perona wakes up wondering who could have caused so much destruction, only
for Oars' arm to smash through the wall near her while looking for the girl (Nami). Perona
panics and decides to leave Thriller Bark with the Thousand Sunny.

Back at the wedding ceremony, Nami has woken up, about to be kissed by Absalom only to
be attacked by an enraged Lola, which was a ruse to try and help Nami escape. Absalom
attacks Lola prompting Nami to attack Absalom with her Clima-Tact's Swing Arm knocking
him out thanks to all the damage he took from Sanji and leaving Lola to marry the
unconscious Absalom.
Meanwhile, the rest of the crew gets back up for another round with Oars. [31] Zoro decides
they should send Oars flying and Franky decides to use Tactics Fifteen which is essentially
Franky standing on Zoro and Sanji's shoulders holding Usopp in his right hand with Chopper
on top of his head, Robin does not participate because it was too embarrassing. This upsets
Oars (he was getting pumped for it) who sends Franky, Usopp, and Chopper flying all the
while feeling betrayed by Robin who flatly tells them never to do that again. After a lot of
teamwork and combo attacks, the crew manages to flip Oars over on his head.
Nami finally reaches the treasure room only to find it has already been cleaned out by
Perona. Back at the Thousand Sunny Perona's zombies have restocked the food supply and
almost loaded all the treasure on board when out of nowhere Bartholomew Kuma of the
Seven Warlords of the Sea shows up asking where Moria is. [32] Nami has found out what
Perona is planning and races off to Thousand Sunny. Meanwhile Oars finds that his horns are
stuck in the ground allowing the crew to get some free shots thoroughly engaging Oars.
Once Oars gets free, they proceed to break his knees, while Nami has caught up with
Perona. Before the two begin to fight, Kuma appears again whom Perona identifies as "The
Tyrant", stating that he was brutal beyond all measure while he was still a pirate. Kuma asks
if Perona works for Moria, which she denies and says she was just leaving, Kuma asks her
where she would like to go to which she answers a creepy old castle and then tries to attack
Kuma, who makes her disappear, literally. He then asks Nami if it's true that Luffy has a
brother, to which she replies yes. Back in the forest, Luffy thinks he has finally caught up
with Moria but it's just his shadow and the dawn is now approaching.[33]

Kuma's meeting with Moria.

The fight with Oars continues with Zoro using his 108-Pound Cannon, which is now much
more powerful with his new blade, remarking that that Shusui has a bit of a temper. Oars
dodges it. The two pirate crews resolve to get Luffy his shadow back before dawn so he can
still fight even if they run out of time. Thriller Bark starts shaking again and the fog clears.
Thanks to Oars messing with the rudder Thriller Bark has drifted out of the Florian Triangle.
Meanwhile, Kuma has finally found Moria who tells him that the successor to Crocodile has
been chosen: Marshall D. Teach, also known as Blackbeard with a former bounty of zero.
Moria takes this with apathy until Kuma tells him the government is afraid of another
Warlord being defeated by the Straw Hats.
