Long Summary[]
In the Flower Capital, Kyoshiro, revealing himself to be Denjiro, announces the return of the Nine Red Scabbards. In his human form, Momonosuke announces his victory in Onigashima and the defeat of the Kaidou and the Kurozumi Family. As his announcement is broadcasted to the other regions of the country, Momonosuke declares his intentions to abolish slavery and end the mass poverty caused by Orochi's reign. The townspeople celebrate the return of the Kouzuki Family, and Momonosuke vows to follow his father's footsteps.
As he speaks, Tama remembers her childhood. Following her parents' tragic deaths, Tama was left an orphan with Komachiyo. She was forced to sell hats to survive, often without success and going hungry. She was adopted by Tenguyama, who told her about the prophecy of the Kouzuki Family's return. In the present day, Tama asks Speed to become her adoptive mother, to which she agrees.
In the Skull Dome, as Chopper continues to tend to the wounded combatants, Yamato introduces himself to the Straw Hat Pirates as Kaidou's son, and asks to join the crew. Despite generally being in favour of admitting him, they choose not to act without Luffy's permission.
