==Long Summary==
As Yamato takes out Oden's journal, he reveals more about his times with Ace. As Ace and Yamato sat around a campfire, they discussed each other's dreams. Ace discussed Luffy's dreams; since his childhood, Luffy had a dream of finding the One Piece in memory of Roger. Using Ace's fingernail, Yamato creates a Vivre Card of him. Ace eventually departed from the island and Yamato kept a Vivre Card of him.
However, during the Summit War, Ace was killed in battle. As he died in Marineford, Yamato's Vivre Card disintegrated before his eyes. Yamato remembered when Ace told him that his brother, Luffy, would rise as a powerful pirate. Yamato resolved to wait for Luffy to come to save the country from Kaidou.
Finishing his story, Yamato entrusts Oden's journal to Momonosuke. He suggests that Luffy was the person mentioned in the prophecy, who would arrive to the country to take down Kaidou.
Kid, Killer, Law and Zoro reach the rooftop to confront Kaidou and Big Mom. Luffy also enters by punching through the ceiling. After tending to Kin'emon's wounded body, Luffy apologizes for being late to the battle. Remembering all the people who made the rebellion possible, Luffy creates a Ryuo-imbued, Gear Third punch, striking down Kaidou. As Kaidou gets up, Luffy declares that he will become the Pirate King.
