Chapter 471 summary
Oars stands amid the wreckage of Thriller Bark and counts the missing Straw Hats as Luffy, Nami, and Franky. Perona wakes in the damaged mansion, learns of Oz's rampage, and orders her servants to load the treasure onto the pirates' ship so they can flee. In the ceremonial hall Absalom tries to force a binding kiss on the waking Nami while zombies restrain her, but Lola bursts in and attacks him. Nami breaks free, strikes Absalom with her charged Clima-Tact, and knocks him down. Lola shields Nami from Absalom's pursuit and calls her a friend, then reveals she knew all along that Nami is a woman. Nami returns to Lola, apologizes for the lie, and receives forgiveness. Outside, Oars still searches for the last crew member and misremembers the name until Franky and the others call out that he should not underestimate the Straw Hats' strength.
