Chapter 1.004: "Kibi Dango".
On the cover, Chopper, a squirrel, and a monkey are eating sweet Rumble Balls together.
The chapter begins with Speed (the Shinuchi of the Pirates of the Beasts) who is touring the castle of Onigashima delivering some dangos to the Gifters that he meets. When he gives it to them, he tells them that it is a special medicine that Queen has prepared to help them regain strength.
We see a flashback in which Tama is waiting for the moment to go help Onigashima. Tama wants to see Wanokuni with Momonosuke as Sogún and she never wants to go hungry again. Tama decides that it's time to go to Onigashima, so he uses Speed's personal ship and takes her, Gazelleman, and Daifugou away. While traveling on the ship, Tama creates a large quantity of Kibi Dango.
We return to the present, and we see that Gazelleman and Daifugou are also touring Onigashima Castle handing out dangos to the Gifters.
We move on to the battle between Franky and Sasaki. The Franky Shougun fires his "Weapons Left" but does not affect Sasaki, who immediately throws himself at the robot and crashes heavily against it. However, the Franky Shougun manages to grab him by the horns and throw him.
The Franky Shougun is about to shoot Sasaki again but the Gifters of the "Armored Unit" of the Beast Pirates, grab the robot by its limbs and stop it. The Gifters are quite strong and manage to retain Franky while Sasaki charges against him again.
Suddenly Usopp, Nami and Tama enter the scene riding Komachiyo. After them comes an army of Gifters who are now on their side thanks to Tama's powers. Franky takes advantage of the confusion and frees himself from the grip of the Gifters, causing Sasaki to collide with the "Armored Unit".
Ulti and Page One come after Tama and the rest, yelling that those Gifters have betrayed them. Sasaki is confused and wonders why the Gifters have betrayed them. Ulti jumps on Komachiyo, but Nami throws her "Thunder Lance = Tempo" at her to stop her. The lightning strikes Ulti, who falls to the ground.
Nami: "This won't be enough to stop her. I need a more powerful beam!"
Usopp launches an attack called "Hissatsu: Kibi Dango Star" against the "Armored Unit", causing the Gifters to swallow Tama's dangos to become their allies. Sasaki is still confused to see that his troops have turned against him, and Franky takes advantage of that moment to attack.
The Franky Shougun uses the attack "Fran Blade: Victory V Flash", and with a sword that emits light manages to cut Sasaki. The blow hits the Tobiroppo's limb directly and begins to bleed.
We move on to Black Maria Vs. Sanji, the latter has defeated all the male subordinates but is not capable of hurting women, so Black Maria manages to trap him in her net.
Black Maria tells Sanji to call Robin so that his subordinate with the paper with the drawn eye can project her call throughout the castle and thus attract Robin to them. Black Maria says that Kaidou ordered her to catch Nico Robin alive, then they will hurt Robin enough that she cannot escape and keep her alive until Kaidou is done using her.
Sanji: "Don't you dare underestimate Nico Robin !!"
We return to the Live Stage, Bao Huang announces that one of his spies (a rat with the paper with the drawn eye) has found the Red Pods. They are unconscious in a room in a castle tower. King receives the report but is busy fighting (we can't see who) and orders someone to go there and kill the samurai immediately.
Black Maria answers King's call and says that she herself will go and take care of them personally, since the room where the samurais are is directly connected to her plant.
Bao Huang: "Hurry up, but be careful! There are" 10 people "in that room!
I can't see it clearly because everything is so dark ...
But there is someone else there trying to help the samurai !! "
In the room we see the silhouette of a mysterious person tending to Kinemon's wounds, this person has a" normal "size (it is half the size of Kinemon) and the long hair. We can also see the silhouette of the profile of his face in the foreground, and from the shape of his nose and mouth, it seems that he is a woman (or perhaps a young man).
As he attends to Kinemon, we see how this person grits his teeth in anger and tears fall from his face ...
