Chapter 1,059: “The Incident of Captain Koby”.
Germa 66's Ahh... Emotionless Excursion, Vol. 18 “Caesar's hallucination gas!!". On the cover we see Katakuri and Oven hitting each other because of Caesar's hallucinogenic gas.
Chapter begins with a ship sailing in the seas near Sphinx Island (the homeland of Whitebeard). Marco is leaving the ship and thanks the crew for taking him there. The ship is Red Hair Pirates' ship.
Shanks asks Marco if he isn't going to join them. Marco tells Shanks to stop joking, he's tired of being the babysitter of the great pirates.
Shanks tells Marco not to exaggerate because he's not a handful. Ben Beckman tells Shanks that he is, while their nakamas laugh at his captain.
Everyone says goodbye to Marco as he flies towards Sphinx Island.
A flashback begins, it takes place in Wanokuni, during the night of the festival after Ryokugyuu's attack.
Luffy: "What~~~~~ You're not coming with us!! Become a pirate~~~!!"
Sanji: "No~~~ Yamato-chan~~~~~~"
Yamato: "I'm sure you all noticed too, right? The incident with the “forest guy" was only resolved thanks to someone's powerful Haki. Kaidou may have fallen... But now we have all those guys coming after Wanokuni!! I cannot allow it!! How could I go on adventures while I'm worried about this country? I'm sure we both feel the same way!!"
Yamato talks to Luffy totally convinced of what he says, he even winks at Luffy confidently. Luffy looks at Yamato seriously but he understands what Yamato says, so he accepts Yamato's decision and leaves Momonosuke and the other in his care.
Zoro asks Yamato to be careful to not hurt Momonosuke's feelings, because he has a very strong sense of pride. Yamato tells Zoro he knows it. Yamato says too that he is going to look for a personal goal in Wanokuni in order to fulfill himself even more. Sanji cries for Yamato's decision.
Marco arrives flying where Luffy and the other are. Marco tells Luffy that a suitable ship appeared near Wanokuni and he is going to leave the island on it. There's a little Marineford flashback, when Marco told Jinbe to take Ace's brother with him (after Ace's death). Luffy then thanks Marco for helping him during the Summit War.
Marco: "I'm sure Ace would be very happy if he knew how far you've come!!"
Luffy: "Shishishi!! I see!!"
Marco flies off Wanokuni with one last message for Luffy.
Marco: "From now on this is your era!! Go forward with determination!!"
Luffy: "Of course I'll do!!"
Flashback ends. We return to the present, to see Marco arriving at Sphinx Island.
Cut to “Amazon Lily", the island of women. Part of the big mountain in the center of the island has been destroyed. Gloriosa says it's the first time that men were able to invade the island so deeply, and that the damage in the city is huge. Hancock says that as long as she's on the island, enemies will keep coming.
Hancock: "Uh.. Now that the situation has come to this... I want to be married to Luffy... ♡"
Gloriosa: "You always wanted that, it's not something new..."
A new flashback begins, it takes place during Marines' attack a few weeks ago. Marines manage to break down the city gateway, but Kuja counterattacks. Marines then order to dispatch the new Pacifistas called "Seraphim” to the frontline and order to activate the recording cameras too. Vice Admiral Yamakaji says there's no sight of Hancock yet.
A little girl with wings and a flame on her back appears in front of Marguerite and Sweet Pea, but they don't want to fight with a kid. The girl, who has star-shaped pupils, shoots a laser with her hand like the Pacifistas we already know.
Suddenly, Blackbeard Pirates' ship appears behind the Marine warships. A powerful seaquake pushes warships off Blackbeard's path to Amazon Lily. Marines say the Sea Kings will notice the seaquake.
