In a dramatic turn of events, the inhabitants of the Land of Gods plead with the Sun God to temper his fury, as the destruction he has wrought is substantial. However, the Sun God remains unforgiving, his wrath unyielding. Meanwhile, Luffy and the Straw Hats find themselves captivated by the intricate world the Sun God has crafted. Determined not to destroy it during their escape, Luffy inquires about their next destination. Nami reassures him, reminding him that she memorized the blueprints she had previously gathered, confidently stating that they just need to continue straight to find the exit.
Suddenly, the Sun God ensnares the Straw Hats in a steel wire net, revealing that they are trapped in a detention center designed to contain even the mightiest of giants. Despite the odds, the Straw Hats refuse to give in. Zoro and Sanji swiftly cut through the net, allowing the crew to push forward. The Sun God, astonished by their strength, warns them of the domain of the Ear God ahead. However, he is left in disbelief upon discovering the remains of the Ear God, which turns out to be a creature known as the “Glut Bunny.”
As the Sun God laughs maniacally, he reflects on how his miniature garden has come alive since the arrival of the Straw Hats. He acknowledges Hajrudin’s respect for Luffy but dismisses Luffy himself. Meanwhile, the other captives begin to devise their escape plan while the Sun God is distracted. Usopp attempts to break a mirror with his Midori Boshi: Dokuro Bakuhatsu So, but the wall behind it remains intact. Luffy prepares to unleash his Gear Fourth, while Nami expresses her anger towards the Sun God. Sanji, too, is incensed, believing the Sun God has wronged Nami by undressing her, but Nami reassures him that the Sun God will face his “divine punishment.”
In a revealing flashback, we learn that the Sun God is actually Road, the navigator of the New Giant Warrior Pirates. He had sent his raven, Muginn, to retrieve the Thousand Sunny, where the Straw Hats were asleep after crossing the Sleeping Mist Belt. Road, who opposes Hajrudin’s allegiance to Luffy, seizes this opportunity to keep the Straw Hats as his “living dolls.” When the Straw Hats begin to awaken, Road quickly puts them back to sleep and traps them.
As Road revels in his control over the Straw Hats, Nami seizes the moment to zap him with Zeus, temporarily immobilizing him. With the Sun God incapacitated, Luffy breaks through the wall, leading the crew to their long-awaited escape. What lies beyond the wall brings a smile to Luffy’s face, hinting at new adventures ahead.
