Despite receiving brutal punches from [[Charlotte Counter]], [[Luffy]] keeps getting up and fighting back. Counter continues to overpower him and beat him ceaselessly, but the starving Luffy still does not relent. After slamming Luffy into the ground, Counter prepares to unleash a finishing blow as he covers his forearm in [[Busoshoku Haki]]. Luffy receives this punch, but to Counter's surprise, he manages to keep his composure and punch the Big Mom Pirate in the face as well. However, the punch has little impact compared to Counter's and Counter quickly triumphs in the clash, with Luffy falling limp on the ground.
In the Mirro-World, [[Brook]] is still shocked over what just happened to him. [[Pedro]] apologizes for putting him in [[Big Mom]]'s clutches, but Brook simply responds by opening his skull and taking out the copies of Big Mom's [[Poneglyph]]s. He states that he knew he had to complete this mission now, as they would otherwise have to make war with the [[Big Mom Pirates]] if they wanted to try again. The Sanji Retrieval Team is absolutely astounded that Brook managed to get into Big Mom's most tightly guarded room and emerge with the printings, and congratulate him, with [[Brûlée]] and [[Diesel]] being shocked to learn of Brook's actions. With one of their objectives completed, the Sanji Retrieval Team prepares to complete their other goal of finding Sanji. However, none of the mirrors around them see Sanji, and he is not in his room.
[[Nami]] then suspects that Sanji is outside in the field where he fought with Luffy, and the mention of their fight shocks [[Chopper]]. [[Jinbe]] understands why a fight might have happened, knowing that Sanji likely came to reunite with his family for a reason. However, he states that they should find Sanji quickly, as there is plotting going on that will unleash chaos during the wedding tomorrow. He reveals that [[Pekoms]] was caught up in this scheming, causing him to be shot by [[Bege]], although he was saved from dying in the ocean by Jinbe and his crew. Out in Sweet City, [[Bobbin]] pursues Sanji with malicious intent, but a mysterious gunman comes and shoots him from the shadows. Bobbin is only able to walk a little farther before collapsing, and he curses his mysterious attackers, of which there are three. Inside the Whole Cake Chateau, the bargirls serving the [[Vinsmoke Family]] all pass out, to the disdain of [[Judge]] and his sons who are still alert despite all the alcohol they consumed. Judge decides to call off their drinking for the night, planning to throw another party the next night after the wedding. The Vinsmoke men look forward to reconquering the [[North Blue]] with the Big Mom Pirates' support, and note how their failure Sanji is actually helping them achieve this goal. Outside their room, some Big Mom Pirates guards are ordered to keep watch and make sure none of the Vinsmokes leave during the night as they prepare for the next day's wedding.
Sanji reaches the outskirts of Sweet City, and searches for Luffy among the fallen combatants of Big Mom's enraged army. He sees multiple people who resemble Luffy, but is disappointed as all of them prove to be different people. Remembering how Luffy threatened to starve to death as he waited in this spot for Sanji's cooking, Sanji shouts for Luffy before falling into despair. However, he hears the sound of a grumbling stomach, and locates the unconscious Luffy leaning against the corpse of [[King Baum]].
