One Piece episode 1087 began near Sphinx, the birthplace of Whitebeard. Here, Marco was dropped off by the Red Hair Pirates. He expressed his gratitude to Shanks for the ride but he turned down his invitation to become a part of his crew, saying that he was tired of having to babysit the Emperor of Sea.

The episode then cut to a flashback to the time when Ryokugyu had attacked Wano. Yamato had just explained to Luffy that he would not be joining them as more enemies like the Admiral might launch an attack on Wano.

Marco, who was passing by, had told Luffy that he had located a ship that could transport him back to his homeland. Luffy had expressed his thanks to Marco for taking care of him during the Summit War. In reply, Marco stated that Ace would have been impressed with the progress Luffy had made.

In One Piece episode 1087, Amazon Lily found itself under attack by the Navy. With the Seven Warlord system now defunct, the island and its inhabitants, including Hancock, had lost their privilege and any man could step into their island.

The female warriors fought back against the Navy, but were countered by the new Pacifistas, known as the Seraphim. The Seraphims possess Lunarian features, with one bearing a resemblance to a young Hancock and another to a young Mihawk.

It was Blackbeard who showed up and interrupted the Navy. However, he was on a mission of his own: he was after Hancock's Devil Fruit, the Mero Mero no Mi.

In One Piece episode 1087, Koby appealed to Hancock, assuring her that the Navy had no intention of fighting if she surrendered. Hancock, who heard his plea from her quarters, decided to step out, with no intention of surrendering.

Hancock used her Devil Fruit abilities to transform most of the Navy soldiers and Blackbeard Pirates into stone. Helmeppo also fell victim to her powers. Subsequently, she targeted Koby, who found himself unable to dodge her attack.

However, Blackbeard, who had been engaged in a battle with one of the Seraphims, intervened by seizing Hancock by the throat, thereby nullifying her powers.

In the previous episode, Nami unleashed her wrath on Luffy for his impulsive actions and locked him up in a cage to teach him a lesson.

The episode also revealed that Mihawk and Crocodile are the true founders of Cross Guild. They were upset with Buggy and his crew for circulating flyers all over the world that depicted them as Buggy's subordinates. However, Mihawk reconsidered the situation and agreed to use Buggy as a figurehead to keep the Navy's focus away from them.
