The All-Stars realize that Luffy's group was only a decoy for the real invading group. Ulti confronts Yamato for striking her down earlier.

Meanwhile, Big Mom spots and appoaches Luffy. They quickly enter battle, and punch each other, but Big Mom overpowers Luffy, sending him crashing into the ground. Getting up, Luffy declares that his goal was not to only take down Kaidou, but also his, Big Mom's and Orochi's subordinates.
