In the previous episode, Zoro remembered how he met Shimotsuki Kozaburo, a Wano samurai who gave him swords to train with. Kozaburo taught Zoro that swords had their own unique personalities and traits. He also hinted that he was the creator of Enma.

Recalling the conversation, Zoro realized that Enma was testing him, and he failed to meet the blade's expectations, unlike Oden, who was able to handle the amount of Haki that Enma drained from him without any problem.

Back in the present, several Animal Kingdom Pirates appeared, and Zoro quickly overpowered them using his Conqueror's Haki. Meanwhile, Momonosuke's persistent attempts to produce Flame Clouds to counter Kaido's failed repeatedly until he discovered that his dragon form allowed him to physically grasp Kaido's clouds. He then started to move the island away from its trajectory.
