TL:DR

## Summary

The crew upon defeating Luna and Helios convince them that everything they have learned so far has been wrong and enlist their help to take down Emperor Dominius. As they reach the capital, they encounter Inquisitor Maximus and Inquisitor Aster. Louis greatly contributes to the battle by countering Aster's devil fruit ability and as Maximus is killed by Luna, Aster gives up and starts spitting fire (rapping). After failing to enlist his aid the crew sets off on the empty city to confront Emperor Dominius and the plot twist is revealed that Emperor Dominius is really an alternate Timeline Duros that got corrupted by the Armor that goes with Duros's current shield.
