Flower City, Underground Prison.
The members of the three pirate groups were baffled by Kaido's mention of a "list."
Jhin, under Kaido's directive, disclosed the grim news of Momonosuke's execution, stunning the Straw Hat Crew and their allies.
Nami, desperate for reassurance, implored Yamato to refute the claim, but received no response.
Kaido callously declared the eradication of the Kozuki family, leaving only his own forces in Wano.
The revelation of Momonosuke's fate sent shockwaves through the imprisoned pirates, eliciting grief and outrage.
Zoro, incensed, threatened Kaido with retaliation, while Sanji selflessly offered his life to spare Nami's.
As tensions mounted, Kaido revealed that Momonosuke's endurance in the oil pan determined the survival of their comrades.
Quinn and Jhin's callous banter further fueled the prisoners' despair, prompting Sanji's brave sacrifice.
Kaido, however, surprised everyone by sparing all the pirates, attributing their salvation to Momonosuke's efforts.
The Straw Hat Crew and their allies were relieved, but concern lingered for those not granted reprieve.
Xia Qi and the Heart Pirates objected to the unequal distribution of survivor spots, but Kaido remained indifferent.
Jhin and Quinn deferred the final selection to Kira, Bepo, and their crew, who vowed to stand by their comrades.
Despite Jhin's sinister intentions, Kira and Bepo's unwavering loyalty and unity prevailed, refusing to betray their allies.
Jhin's cold demeanor belied his frustration as he observed their solidarity, promising to execute the remaining prisoners as a grim reminder of their defiance.
