Detailed Summary
Overwhelmed with fear now that Zoro has properly mastered his Supreme King Haki, Sommers begins fleeing for his life, which annoys Zoro after all the time and energy he spent trying to reach this level of power. As such, Zoro pursues Sommers, who desperately begs him to stay away, but Zoro catches up to Sommers easily and strikes him down on one of the tree branches.
Back with Brook's group, Gunko stands up on her own as Brook promises not to hurt her, while the other Straw Hats stand by in case she tries to attack. Brook asks Gunko to introduce herself, and she remembers Brook when he was alive, the day Reuven was killed, and interestingly, begging Imu to let her live. The strain of these seemingly repressed memories causes Gunko to fall to her knees, which Brook takes as a sign that she truly is not an enemy if she is hesitating compared to her first encounter with everyone. Brook says to Gunko that while he swore he would not forgive her for that fateful day, if she had no free will of her own, then he believes she was the one who suffered the most. Gunko begins to cry, which Jinbe notices, and Brook tells her to take her time, as he knows a few words are not enough to explain all these years. Therefore, Brook offers to introduce himself first, and after he does, he asks her if she truly is Shuri. Gunko remembers Imu ordering her and Shamrock to subjugate Elbaph as their battle-slaves, and while gripping her arm, which has the Depths Covenant, Gunko tearfully affirms herself as a World Noble of the Manmayer Family, leaving Brook shocked. Brook then asks why Gunko is crying and he begins to sing "We're All Bones When We Die", but Gunko creates a sword made of her arrows and fires a blast at Brook demanding he stay away from her. Brook sees her stance and reminds her he taught her that stance, but Gunko insists she does not know Brook and starts running away, while Brook calls to her.
At the Owl Library, the box is opened and Saul asks if what is inside is truly needed now. Biblo, translated through Chopper, tells the three of them that long ago, a human named "Lili" lived on Elbaph, a name that catches Robin's attention. At the Western Village, the giants only have four children left to save; Colon, Ylva, Bjorn, and Johanna, as Killingham orders his Zaza MMA to reach the port where he assumes Sommers still is. Despite his injuries, Sanji flies at him annoyed he would be so arrogant to assume he has won as he unleashes an attack called Ifrit Jambe: Sky Table Kick Course, splitting Killingham in half before shredding him to bits. Killingham easily reforms as he reminds Sanji that no matter how many times he attacks the outcome is the same, and he will never have Supreme King Haki, labeling him an insect that has reached the limit of his capabilities. Killingham returns to his hybrid form and fires a beam of energy from Longinus that pierces Sanji's side, causing him to fall to the ground. Killingham stands over him, where he admits he is impressed Sanji is so sturdy to withstand the power of Longinus, as Sanji thinks back to what Gaban said to him about his habit of self-sabotage, despite Sanji never perceiving his self-sacrificial behavior in the past as such. Killingham then stabs Sanji in the arm as he mockingly asks him what exactly commonfolk eat since Sanji called himself a chef earlier, but rather than react to the pain, Sanji starts reopening memories from the past that he desperately wants to keep locked away.
It turns out said memories are from during his time training on Momoiro Island, when Ivankov started singing to Sanji that he suffers from a crippling weakness.
