Following the release of the last episode, viewers watched Zunesha reveal that Luffy is Joy Boy and that, after 800 years, he was able to hear the Drums of Liberation once more. Not only that, but as the episode went on, viewers saw Luffy experience a surge of joy, and every member of the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance experienced relief at learning that Luffy was still alive.

The episode then featured the Five Elders and revealed that Gomu Gomu no Mi was actually a Mythical Zoan named Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, whose infinite potential was only constrained by its user's imagination.

In addition, it was made known that the fruit had been eluding the control of the World Government for eight hundred years. Fans then witnessed Hiyori and Orochi's altercation, during which Orochi met his end. After that, Kaido was seen being grabbed by Luffy, whose arm had now grown to enormous proportions.

After some more fighting between the two, the episode came to a dramatic conclusion, teasing the major brawl that would take place in One Piece episode 1072.
