Meanwhile, King and Queen have their hands full with Marco the Phoenix. The latter has done a great job of holding them off for the moment. However, this isn't going to last for very long. Perospero is still making his way into the castle.
Last but not least, Chopper is putting the finishing touches to his antidote.
