During his clash with Jinbe , Who’s-Who reveals his past as a CP9 agent who was imprisoned for losing a specific Devil Fruit—the Gomu Gomu no Mi —which Luffy eventually ate.

While Episode 1039 focuses on the Gifters' rebellion (covering material primarily from Manga Chapter 1016 and 1017), is a completely different milestone. That chapter, titled " Top Billing ," features the climactic battle where Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid use their Awakened abilities—Puncture Wille and Damned Punk—to finally topple the Emperor Big Mom .

Thousands of Gifters immediately turn on their former comrades, throwing the Beast Pirates into a state of "angry confusion" while providing the Samurai-Pirate Alliance with a much-needed surge of reinforcements.
