Cover Page: Oni Child Yamato's Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Vol. 14: "The girls from the soba shop in Kuri have gone missing."

As both the Straw Hat Pirates and Giant Warrior Pirates celebrate, the Straw Hats learn from Oimo and Kashii how Dorry and Brogy came back to Elbaph from Little Garden. Meanwhile, the Red Hair Pirates have defeated the Barto Club and after Shanks puts Bartolomeo through a loyalty test, Yasopp destroys the Going Luffy-senpai. At Hachinosu, though Blackbeard is angry by Koby and Moria's escapes, he is satisfied with Garp's capture and the current state of the world as Catarina Devon's ship arrives with Caribou. Two days later, the Thousand Sunny disappears with six of the Straw Hats.

As the party goes on, Oimo and Kashii reveal to the Straw Hats that they went to Little Garden to pick up the captains not long after they left Water 7. When they got there, they were surprised to see them fighting with nothing but their bare fists due to their weapon’s destruction. Because of that, the two wound up convincing Dorry and Brogy to return with them to Elbaph to get new weapons, but they still intend to continue fighting, which Nami finds unbelievable. Still, everyone continues to enjoy themselves as they sail to Elbaph.

A month ago on Gartel Island, the Red Hair Pirates have subjugated the Barto Club as payback for infiltrating their territory and burning their flag. Shanks tells the chained up Bartolomeo that many islands rely on his flag, and if he just let this incident slide, the people would lose faith in him, which would put his allies in danger. Bartolomeo apologizes to Shanks for his thoughtlessness as Hongo presents Bartolomeo with a poison that is said to cause immense pain and erupting blood from those who ingest it, and tells him to give it to Luffy within a month, calling it equal compensation.

Instead, Bartolomeo drinks the poison himself, to the horror of his crew. Bartolomeo states Luffy never asked him to share the sake or take up his flag, so he should not get him involved in this mess that has nothing to do with him nor should it. He sobs over his inability to see Luffy become the Pirate King and entrusts everything to his crew, but he unexpectedly burps instead. It turns out that poison Bartolomeo drank was fake, and with that realization, the Barto Club immediately high-tail it out of there, with Bartolomeo calling Shanks softer than he expected. On the island, Beckman asks Shanks why he is smiling, and Shanks says it is because Bartolomeo is so dedicated to Luffy. Yasopp then appears and shoots at the Going Luffy-senpai from afar, stating they still need to teach Bartolomeo a lesson. The Barto Club’s ship explodes and sinks, with the crew’s fate left unknown.

On Hachinosu, Blackbeard has returned and is outraged that Pizarro let Koby and Moria escape, especially with how the world is teetering towards all-out war. Despite his rage, the other pirates are all fired up to find the One Piece and conquer the world, which he aims to capitalize. In addition, though Koby escape, Kuzan was able to capture Garp, though he was trying to actually kill him. Furthermore, Blackbeard now has Pudding, intending to exploit her mysterious abilities. He then contacts Laffitte, who is at the Umit Shipping company's HQ.

Blackbeard asks Laffitte what the Revolutionary Army is up to, and he reports that the Bondolas keep breaking down every time it’s loaded with food and all supply shipments have stopped as well, meaning their siege is working and the World Nobles might actually be in danger, all of which he finds very amusing. Blackbeard tells him to get ready as Devon and Augur then arrive with Caribou.

Two days following the Giants’ departure from Egghead, the crew has yet to arrive at Elbaph, and that is because the Thousand Sunny, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper have disappeared without a trace, leaving everyone in a panic. Elsewhere, Nami wakes up in a strange room made of studded blocks wearing a viking-like outfit.
