Fanxin and his crew crossed the island after Wang Yan melted the ice, then found the Straw Hat Pirates, Law, Franky, and Smoker trapped in an iron cage as poison gas approached. Fanxin chose to watch from a distance while Law proposed hiding their escape attempt behind smoke and faking their deaths.

• Fanxin had Wang Yan melt the ice covering their landing area, allowing the crew to continue across the island.
• The group encountered strange human-animal beings, and Bingfeng trapped them inside an ice barrier after they attacked.
• Fanxin spotted Straw Hat Luffy, Law, Franky, and Smoker imprisoned in an iron cage near a building and decided to wait and see how they escaped.
• As poison gas drew closer, Law suggested that Franky conceal the cage with smoke so they could make their captors believe they were dead and launch a surprise attack.

Law freed himself and led Luffy and Smoker out of captivity, while Fanxin’s group headed for the building in search of Artificial Devil Fruits. They took shelter there with Zoro’s group as liquid poison gas swept toward them, but the gas began seeping through the damaged entrance.

• Franky released a stinking smoke bomb, allowing Law to reveal that his handcuffs were not made of Seastone and free himself and Luffy.

Fanxin fought Monet and then pursued Caesar through the laboratory, determined to capture him. He intercepted Caesar on the upper floor after escaping the Seastone corridor, where Caesar had expected the poison gas to stop him.

• Fanxin confronted Monet when she arrived to help Caesar, and she trapped him in snow before unleashing a blizzard.

• Fanxin carried Caesar to Little Black Cat, who freed the poisoned brothers from their white restraints and helped gather the children into Fanxin's Diamond Space.
• Monet blocked the exit and demanded that Fanxin surrender Caesar, so Wang Yan stayed behind to fight her while Fanxin led the others away.
• Wang Yan used World of Flame to turn Ice and Fire Island into a Magma World, forcing Monet into the air and driving Smoker, Law, Vergo, Luffy, and the others to flee.
• Fanxin ordered his group to use flying armor to escape the magma, then offered the marines and others a lift if they answered whether his group were good people.

Fanxin rescued his companions from the spreading magma, captured Caesar, and helped Law defeat Vergo before Law finished him. Back aboard the ship, Law explained that they would use Caesar and the destruction of his Artificial Devil Fruit operation to provoke Kaido against Doflamingo, while Fanxin decided to keep Caesar for his crew.

• Law explained that destroying the Devil Fruit production site would provoke Kaido into targeting Doflamingo, and Fanxin agreed to secure the fruits instead.
• Fanxin and Law warned Luffy not to attack Doflamingo directly, since that could draw Kaido into a war with them.

• Fanxin took Wang Yan back to the ship to rest, and the group set sail for Dressrosa alongside Luffy’s ship.
• Doflamingo descended from the sky with two figures and confronted the ships before they had reached Dressrosa.

Fanxin held Doflamingo back so the Straw Hat Pirates and Law could reach Dressrosa and destroy the Devil Fruit factories. Doflamingo left to defend the factories, while Fanxin’s crew set sail for Dressrosa and Fanxin returned to Wolf Valley to make arrangements for the children.

• Doflamingo confronted Law and Fanxin at sea, and Fanxin told Law and the Straw Hat Pirates to continue to Dressrosa while he stalled Doflamingo.
• The Straw Hat Pirates launched their ship with the Coup de Vent, while Little Fox, Fanxin, and Bingfeng attacked Doflamingo and prevented him from pursuing them.
• Fanxin revealed that the group intended to kill Caesar and destroy the factories, which could provoke Kaido into war with Doflamingo.
• After Fanxin warned that the Straw Hat Pirates were already headed for Dressrosa, Doflamingo left with two subordinates to protect the factories.
• Fanxin explained to Little Black Cat that they would confront Doflamingo with their allies in Dressrosa, then ordered the crew to sail there and returned to Wolf Valley to visit the children.

Fanxin learned that the children Caesar had enlarged with drugs were suffering irreversible damage and might be saved only by Law, so he set out for Dressrosa to find him. There, Fanxin and his companions searched for the Straw Hat crew, discovered that the island’s toys contained living souls, and headed to the colosseum to meet Luffy.

• Qiangwei told Fanxin that the children’s drug-induced condition caused painful attacks and could eventually kill them, and Fanxin agreed not to send them away until they received treatment.
• Fanxin questioned Caesar, who confirmed the children could not be cured by ordinary means and suggested Law might use the Op-Op Fruit to repair their bodies.
• Fanxin left Caesar confined in Diamond Space and sailed toward Dressrosa, where he selected Jesse, Ren Fang, Bingfeng, and Little Black Cat to accompany him ashore.
• Fanxin used Haki to locate Luffy at the colosseum and sensed that the island’s talking toys contained living souls.
• Fanxin led his companions toward the colosseum to find Luffy and discuss their plans.

Fanxin watched Luffy defeat Chinjao in the colosseum and learned that Luffy had entered the tournament to reclaim Ace’s Flame-Flame Fruit. After guards blocked the exits on Doflamingo’s orders, Fanxin suspected the colosseum was part of a trap and stayed to investigate.

• Luffy defeated Chinjao in the arena and restored the point on his head, winning a place in the finals.
• Fanxin asked Luffy about the Flame-Flame Fruit, and Luffy said he intended to reclaim it because Ace had owned it.
• Fanxin warned Luffy that Doflamingo might be using the fruit to lure him into a trap, then left Bingfeng and Jesse to watch over him.
• Guards prevented Fanxin, Ren Fang, and Little Black Cat from leaving the colosseum, so Fanxin returned and searched the building for a secret.
• Fanxin concluded that Doflamingo might trap the weakened tournament fighters and told the others they had to secure the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Fanxin gave up on competing for the Flame-Flame Fruit after Sabo reunited with Luffy and took his place in the tournament. Fanxin and his companions left the arena to seize Doflamingo’s factory, where they split up and fought their way inside.

• Fanxin told Luffy he wanted the Flame-Flame Fruit, but Luffy said he had not decided what to do with it after obtaining it.
• Sabo appeared, reunited with Luffy, and explained that he had come to claim the Flame-Flame Fruit in Ace’s memory.
• Sabo and Luffy switched clothes so Sabo could compete in Luffy’s place, while Fanxin hid Luffy in Diamond Space.

• Fanxin found the factory beneath a tall building, entered with his companions, and split the group into two search parties.
• Little Black Cat summoned robots that attacked the uniformed people blocking Fanxin’s path with bolts of lightning.

Fanxin entered Dressrosa’s underground base and learned from Usopp that Sugar’s Hobby-Hobby Fruit had turned people into toys and erased memories of them. He continued toward the factory to seize it, while Usopp, Robin, and the Tontatta set out to confront Sugar and Trebol prepared to defend her.

• Little Black Cat ordered the robots to defeat the guards, and Fanxin led his group into the underground base.
• Fanxin sensed that the toys were living beings, and Ren Fang guessed that a Devil Fruit ability had created them.
• Usopp told Fanxin that Sugar had turned people into toys and erased others’ memories, then asked him to help defeat her.

• Trebol found the executive tower’s surroundings in chaos, secured Sugar, and went outside to suppress the invaders.
• Fanxin reached the factory and prepared to move the building into Diamond Space while his companions stood guard.

Fanxin stole the factory by lifting it into his Diamond Space, then tried to leave Dressrosa with Ren Fang and the others. Trebol confronted them and fought Fanxin, but Bingfeng stepped in to counter his Sticky-Sticky Fruit with her ice powers.

• Fanxin merged with all the Diamond Beasts inside him, dug out the factory, and stored it in his Diamond Space.
• Trebol blocked Fanxin and demanded the factory back, but Fanxin mocked him and refused.
• Trebol attacked with sticky liquid, but Fanxin dodged it and then fought him with diamond blades, which failed to injure him.
• Trebol trapped Fanxin in the sticky liquid and ignited it, but Fanxin survived the explosion unharmed.
• Trebol attacked again, and Fanxin dodged before asking Bingfeng to handle him; Bingfeng froze the area and sent ice at Trebol.

Bingfeng battled Trebol while Fanxin rescued Usopp, the wounded dwarves, and toy Robin, whose identity he could not remember because Sugar’s power erased her from others’ memories. Fanxin then confronted Trebol for Sugar and sent Straw Hat Luffy toward Doflamingo, leaving the fight over Sugar to himself.

• Bingfeng froze Trebol’s mucus attacks and fought him, but her ice spikes failed to draw blood from his strange body.
• Fanxin and Little Black Cat went to check on Usopp and found him and the dwarves injured after their mission to stop Sugar failed.
• Fanxin moved Usopp and the wounded dwarves into his Diamond Space, then learned that the toy clinging to him was Robin, though Sugar’s power had erased his memories of her.
• Fanxin sent Robin into his Diamond Space and returned to Trebol, demanding that he hand over Sugar.
• Fanxin took Straw Hat Luffy out and sent him toward Doflamingo, while Bingfeng went with him to guide him to the palace.

Fanxin defeated Trebol’s advantage by discovering that Trebol hid his frail body behind mucus, then seized Sugar and carried her away. When Fanxin knocked Sugar unconscious, the toys across Dressrosa returned to their true forms, exposing Doflamingo’s secrets and putting his rule at risk.

• Fanxin used the Dragon-Slaying Sword, diamond blades, and Soul Perception to discover that Trebol’s mucus concealed his frail body.
• Fanxin attacked Trebol and took Sugar from him, restraining her with Seastone handcuffs before escaping with the others.
• Trebol failed to catch Fanxin and headed to the palace to report Sugar’s capture to Doflamingo.
• At the shore, Fanxin demanded that Sugar lift her curses, then knocked her unconscious when she refused.
• Sugar’s loss of consciousness restored the toys across Dressrosa to their human and animal forms, and the freed people began cursing Doflamingo.
