==Short Summary==
After Luffy makes his demands to the Five Elders, the group makes their escape plan which they plan to return to the Thousand Sunny and after escaping the Marines, plan to flee to Elbaf. Meanwhile, with the information that Rob Lucci had been secretly leaking to them, Kizaru and Saturn, lay out their own plans, as Kizaru leaves to go deal with Sentomaru.
==Long Summary==
Luffy calls the Five Elders and introduces himself while simultaneously confirming that he and his crew are allies of Dr. Vegapunk, and if they care about York's safety, they should withdraw their fleet from the shore. Mars asks Luffy who is currently alive with him in the Labophase, but just as Luffy is about to tell him, Robin forces him to stop, telling him that they cannot give the enemy any information about their status. Luffy apologizes and asks if they will back down, but Usopp tells him to quit dreaming.
Saturn says that they need to protect three things: York, Punk Records, and the power plant needed to produce the Mother Flame; everything else is expendable. Doberman reminds Saturn that several of their Cipher Pol agents are still on the island, but Saturn explains that he is considering the worst-case scenario and that they need to prioritize the safety of the most important things to them. He does add, however, that Doberman should consider humans no different from insects; if their numbers shrink, they will replenish over time. Ultimately, Doberman accepts Saturn’s wishes.
Back in the Labophase, York tells everyone that if they hurt her now that she has made a deal with the World Government, Egghead will be completely destroyed just like Ohara. Her words, however, earns her a smack on the head by Nami, who Zoro tries to calm down. Chopper asks Robin if her injuries have recovered and she confirms. While that is going on, Kaku is seen resting from his own injuries, Luffy and Bonney are eating, and Usopp is trying to get in contact with the underground basement. Lucci notes that both Shaka and Pythagoras have been destroyed while Lilith, Edison, and Atlas are heavily injured. Kaku asks him what he is doing and Lucci simply says he’s talking to himself.
Usopp succeeds in getting the communications operating, and he asks the now free Cipher Pol agents if they are alright. It turns out they provided the agents with food, which most of them were deeply grateful for. They ask to be freed but Usopp says they cannot do that, to which they ask to be moved away from the Seraphim instead. It turns out that the four Seraphim have been contained in bubbles made from the same material as the bubble shields used by the Pacifista Mark III, as they have the same properties as Seastone. S-Snake tells the agents that neither of them were ordered to kill them, so they do not need to be scared of them, much to their relief.
Franky then thanks S-Snake for freeing him, Lilith, and Usopp, while Dr. Vegapunk wonders why she did so since he never programmed her to act like that. It is revealed that Luffy crossed paths with S-Snake and mistook her for Hancock, after which he asked her to free his friends, which she did because somehow, she inherited the real Hancock’s love for Luffy, which Dr. Vegapunk makes a note of. Luffy thanks S-Snake once again (which she misinterprets as a confession of love, much like how the real Hancock would), while Atlas tells Dr. Vegapunk that she still cannot open the Frontier Dome, which means they are still trapped. York smugly tells them that she locked everything with a password that she has shared with none of them.
Stussy tells Dr. Vegapunk that they are surrounded as he talks to Nami, telling her that they should head in one of the directions her Log Pose recorded in Wano. Nami notices that one of the needles is pointing northeast of Egghead, and Dr. Vegapunk says that that leads to Elbaf, much to the joy of Luffy and Usopp. Dr. Vegapunk says that the crew is fortunate that their ship is on the Labophase Stratum, but since the entire coast is blocked by Marine ships, they will not be able to leave this way. Instead he says they need to head northeast to the other side of the island, which does not have that many ships blocking it. He says that Vegaforce-01 can potentially carry them and their ship past the blockade but it can only fly within the air field of Egghead, after which it will fall down. Thankfully, Franky tells him that they can use the Thousand Sunny's Coup de Burst ability to carry them the rest of the way, which intrigues Dr. Vegapunk.
Atlas admits the plan is sound but reminds them that the Frontier Dome will not let them leave, York once again saying they will never get the password out of her. Unfortunately for her, Vegapunk, Atlas, and Edison get to work trying to crack the code. As for Lilith, Dr. Vegapunk tasks her with commanding the Vegaforce-01, and she starts heading for the mech with Luffy, Bonney, and Franky joining her. Lilith starts gushing over leaving the island for the first time in her life while Luffy says he will miss the food on this island. Bonney shares the sentiment, and they should bring some, but Luffy tells her that Sanji can just cook for them, much to her joy. Luffy then asks Bonney why she is in such a good mood now and she says she feels better that she no longer wants to kill Dr. Vegapunk.
With the fleet, Saturn is notified about the situation by Lucci, who was somehow able to contact him. Saturn asks Kizaru if he can just slip by the Frontier Dome with his powers, but Kizaru tells him that Sentomaru is guarding it. Saturn tells him to ignore him, but Kizaru says that would go against his own ideals. He adds that if they begin their assault, Sentomaru will likely order the Sea Beast weapons and Pacifista to attack. Saturn asks about the power plant and Kizaru admits that Lucci was able to relay that information to them. With that, the ships get into battle formation, with the Rokushiki users being put on standby as the assault will begin soon and the bombardment unit being told to aim for the Sea Beast weapons instead of the Pacifista.
Luffy’s group reaches the Thousand Sunny and Vegaforce-01 just as Kizaru uses Yata no Kagami to reach the island. Sentomaru intercepts him as Luffy senses Kizaru’s strength and says that someone strong is coming.
