As the World Nobles yell at Sakazuki for letting Kuma escape, he continues to wonder where Kuma is going. On Egghead, the Sea Beast Weapons are destroyed by the Pacifista, allowing the Marines to land. Luffy has transformed into Gear 4: Snakeman and is barraging Kizaru with his punches which Kizaru blocks, but even he admits that Luffy has become a formidable opponent since defeating Kaidou. Kizaru asks Luffy why he is protecting Dr. Vegapunk, but Luffy retorts by asking why he wants to kill him anyway. Kizaru warps far away from Luffy and admits he does not personally want to kill him because he has known him for a long time, but does not have a choice. With blinding speed, Kizaru kicks Luffy so hard he flies into Vegaforce-01, completely destroying it and sending him into the Frontier Dome's barrier. The Thousand Sunny falls out of the destroyed robot's hands as Franky, Bonney, and
Lilith run away from the exploding robot. Kizaru confronts the two and comments how much Bonney has grown, and he asks why she is getting in his way of killing Dr. Vegapunk, who she is supposed to hate. Bonney, however, grabs a wire and
uses Toshi Tsuki, declaring that her target has shifted.
