Love is a defensive power:

Sanji throws his cigarette to distract Killingham and kicks the tip of Longinus, managing to break the spear. Killingham continues to take blows while Sanji reflects on Ivankov's words, his family, and the hardships he has endured. Sanji comes to the conclusion that defense must be his priority. Killingham then covers his body with Omen armor and regenerates his spear, this armor can only be destroyed with "dynasty traits". The clash between the two sends Sanji flying, but once again, the tip of Longinus breaks off. Sanji, lying on the ground, looks at his leg and realizes that his "armament traits" has reached a new level. Sanji gets back up, thinking that if Zoro is Luffy's sword, then he will be his shield. He kicks Killingham again, this time shattering his helmet.

Love that longs for death has no value:

Sanji continues to try to suppress his memory and screams for it to stop while Killingham stabs him with his spear on the ground. Killingham advises him to go ask his captain for help, since he isn't capable of defeating him. Then, Killingham uses his ability to manifest Sanji's fears, creating an MMA of Ivankov. Next, Killingham merges with Ivankov's MMA, transforming into a qilin with Ivankov’s face. After being mule kicked, Sanji begins to remember again. Despite winning his battles in Kamabakka, Sanji sustained unnecessary damage, as if he didn't care about dying. Ivankov explains that Sanji doesn't value himself, and that accumulated damage will eventually take its toll on him. Sanji's weakness, what he lacks, is "self-love". His love has no value if he doesn't love himself. Back in reality, Ivankov's MMA vanishes, and Sanji warns Killingham that he won't be able to hit him ever again.

Weakness:

Realizing that Zoro is now able to control his "dynasty traits", Sommers tries to flee the battle. Meanwhile, Shuri regains consciousness, and Brook tries to help her remember, but despite her obvious inner conflict, she continues to insist that she is Gunko. Meanwhile, the group at the library has already opened the box, and Biblo tells them that Lily was on the island in the past. In the western village, the giants continue to fight Zaza to save the children. Sanji manages to kick Killingham, but since he lacks "dynasty traits", Killingham regenerates instantly. Sanji recalls how Gaban told him he has a dangerous tendency toward self-deprecation. Next, Sanji recalls all the times he's been willing to sacrifice himself. Then, a repressed memory surfaces in which Ivankov tells him he has a serious "weakness".

Elbaph in despair. The devil's covenant, "Domi Reversi":

Both the Kyohei Pirates and the Elbaph giants reach the children's location, but a strong Ambition wave produced by Imu causes the weaker ones to lose consciousness. Gunko's body possessed by Imu has taken a devilish appearance with wings and a devil's tail. Brogy traps Imu in his hand, while ordering his nakama to go and save the children. But Imu tells Brogy to go and kill Jarul, and together with Dorry, they will proclaim themselves the new kings at his service. Imu summons a magic book from which he conjures a dagger and a huge double-barreled gun. Imu uses the dagger to stab Brogy's hand and free himself, then fires the gun disintegrating Brogy's wrist. Imu then summons a magic circle that swallows Brogy and causes him to resurface with a devilish appearance and a size that is huge even for a giant. Dorry and the rest of the giants begin to be converted as well. In the village, everyone tries to convince Jarul to leave, but for the old man it is not something a warrior would do.

All things are subject to change:

Sommers is surprised at how close the last attack came, but he realizes that Zoro is unable to control his "dynasty traits". Zoro stabs Sommers in the back while he is distracted, grazing his heart once again. Sommers summons his "Ibalauncher", but Zoro cuts through the shower of thorns and manages to sever his hand. However, his attack remains incomplete, and Sommers continues to regenerate. Sommers combines his ability with "Gram" for his next attack, but in the exchange, both the "Ibalauncher" and the ship are destroyed. Zoro continues to cut Sommers to pieces as Sommers regenerates, until suddenly one of his hands falls lifeless to the ground. Zoro recalls Mihawk's words about "dynasty traits", defining them as "one’s very self". Sommers' face then falls as he realizes that Zoro is finally able to control it.

A desperate second. Gaban vs. the Holy Knights:

Ya-san continues fighting with Sommers and this time his attack manages to cut him in two at chest level. Without wasting any time, Ya-san starts running in search of the children, while Chopper chases after him interested in discovering how he managed to cut someone who is supposedly immortal. Meanwhile, Ange has already set the Owl Library on fire, while Killingham concludes the task by throwing a fire arrow at the school. Having fulfilled the demands, Gunko orders Ronja to leave the platform. Just then, Ya-san arrives to rescue the children, but Gunko pounces on Collon and threatens to kill him. Ya-san can see that the threat is real and decides to surrender, and is pierced by Gunko's arrows. Collon's screams calling for his father awaken a memory in Gunko where Brook appears. This causes Gunko to try to help Brook, but at that very moment, Gunko's body is possessed by Imu who, impatient with getting his army, decides to intervene.

Protect history and the future. Robin and Gaban go on the attack:

A platform-shaped arrow separates Ronja from the children line and puts her on the verge of falling from the top of the tree. Sommers threatens saying they have 30 seconds to comply with their demands or they will start throwing the children. Robin arrives at Sommers' location and interrupts him with an attack. Robin uses one of her submission techniques to pin Sommers and causes them both to fall from the top of the branch. Sommers tries to free himself by growing thorns on his body, but Robin turns out to be one her clones, the real one was freeing her nakamas. Sommers saves himself from falling by growing a vine of thorns with which he is suspended from the tree branch. Meanwhile, Ronja speaks out to the people of Elbaph saying how much she appreciates the school and the library, she is willing to sacrifice herself to keep both. However, Jarul wrapped in tears cannot help but give Ange the order to burn both places to save the girl. At that moment, Sommers manages to return to the branch and neutralizing Robin by wrapping her with his brambles. But suddenly someone cuts Sommers' arm and for some reason it doesn't regenerate. Scopper Gaban appears and neutralizes Sommers with another attack.
