Bingfeng defeated the adjutant in her World of Ice, and the Rear Admiral let Fanxin and his companions leave rather than risk the fortress. After their fight was broadcast to clear their names, Fanxin’s group set out for Bodhi Island to sell their treasure and arrived at a strangely isolated bank.

• Bingfeng trapped the adjutant in her World of Ice, demanded an apology, and left him badly wounded when he refused.
• The Rear Admiral declined to detain Fanxin and his companions, explaining that Fanxin’s strength made an attack too dangerous for the fortress.
• Fanxin’s group watched the fight video spread worldwide and discussed the unknown person who had framed them before sorting through their treasure.
• Fanxin ordered Little Black Cat to find an island, and the group sailed to Bodhi Island to exchange their gold for money.
• Fanxin, Bingfeng, and Little Black Cat went ashore, located the bank with Mechanical Eye, and reached its isolated building.

• The old man gave Fanxin his share of the gold, then left the island with his two disciples after Little Black Cat beat off the gang that tried to rob them.
• Fanxin bought food and seasonings and sailed with Bingfeng and Little Black Cat toward the Beast Kingdom.
• Wang Yan showed Fanxin a newspaper accusing the Fanxin Pirates of stealing from more than a hundred pirate crews, and Fanxin concluded that an unknown enemy was targeting them.
• Wang Yan reasoned that the enemy must be following the crew, so Fanxin used his Soul Clan ability to search for the pursuer while Bingfeng stayed aboard to oversee things.
• Fanxin used Haki to find a Surveillance Den Den Mushi near a submarine and swam toward it in his physical form.
• Inside the submarine, the man in the black suit reported that the framing had turned pirate crews against Fanxin, while the man in the black jacket said the young master wanted revenge.

The men aboard the submarine realized Fanxin had found them and prepared to fight rather than kill themselves to protect their secrets. When Fanxin demanded to know who was backing their plot against him, the man in the black jacket named Blackbeard, but Fanxin said he still wanted to search their souls.

• The man in the suit urged the man in the black jacket to withdraw, but the latter detected Fanxin nearby and hundreds of Diamond Beasts surrounding the submarine.
• The men armed themselves and saw Fanxin waiting outside the submarine, where they wondered how he could survive underwater without a diving suit.

• Fanxin returned to the ship and asked Little Black Cat to investigate the Alliance, but Little Black Cat suggested asking the Four Emperors or the Navy for information.
• Bingfeng and Wang Yan told Fanxin that the Alliance had existed for nearly two hundred years and had ties to Doflamingo, whose trade network they had destroyed.
• Little Black Cat reported that Straw Hat Boy and Law had also been framed, and Fanxin ordered the crew to contact them and prepare to attack the Heavenly Star Alliance.

Fanxin learned that the Heavenly Star Alliance had attacked the Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates, then prepared to wait for them to regroup with him. The Alliance sent six submarines after the Fanxin Pirates, but Bingfeng froze them beneath the sea, leaving the two commanders to face their losses.

• Fanxin warned Bingfeng, Wang Yan, and the others to cultivate for the coming battle, then spent a day and night with his family and companions in Diamond World.

• Two Heavenly Star Alliance commanders ordered six submarines to approach the Fanxin Pirates, but Bingfeng froze the submarines and the surrounding seabed.
• The commanders found themselves unable to contact their crew, feared the young master’s punishment, and descended into the sea to look for the submarines.

Fanxin’s forces salvaged the frozen submarines, then sheltered the Straw Hat Pirates and Heart Pirates after the Heavenly Star Alliance pursued them for half a month. Fanxin sent Wang Yan to hold off the Alliance’s fleet for a day and a night, but an opponent’s icy power began extinguishing her magma attack.

• The monkey-faced man told the young master that Fanxin’s assistant had frozen the Alliance’s submarines, and the young master ordered the survivors to return without punishment.
• Fanxin had Wang Yan melt the sea ice so Little Black Cat’s robots could dismantle the submarines and haul their steel aboard.
• When one submarine escaped, Fanxin sent Bingfeng and Little Black Cat after it, and Bingfeng froze it again.
• Half a month later, the Straw Hat Pirates and Heart Pirates arrived exhausted after being pursued by the Heavenly Star Alliance, and Fanxin promised them rest and food.
• Fanxin asked Wang Yan to buy the crews a day and a night to recover, so she attacked the Alliance’s fleet with a barrage of magma fists.
• A cold snort from one of the Alliance’s ships extinguished many of Wang Yan’s magma fists and sent them falling into the sea.

Wang Yan used her magma ability to devastate the Heavenly Star Pirates’ fleet, while Fanxin held back to protect his recovering allies and avoid provoking the larger Heavenly Star Alliance. As night fell, both sides stayed on guard, and the enemy prepared to attack once reinforcements could suppress Wang Yan’s and Bingfeng’s abilities.

• Wang Yan spread herself into Magma Rain and heated the sea beneath the Heavenly Star Pirates, melting ships and killing many of their crew.
• Fanxin ordered Wang Yan to stop pursuing the retreating ships and explained that he was waiting for his allies to recover before confronting the Heavenly Star Alliance.

• The Heavenly Star Pirates’ captain forbade an attack while Fanxin’s robots remained on watch and waited for reinforcements to suppress the magma and ice ability users.

Fanxin’s group fled the Heavenly Star Pirates’ pursuit, and Fanxin’s Seven Star Sword attack engulfed their fleet in fireballs. After learning the pirates survived, Fanxin and Law agreed to consider striking the Heavenly Star Alliance, but Fanxin postponed the attack until they understood the organization better.

• Wang Yan and Bingfeng attacked the pursuing Heavenly Star Pirates while Fanxin’s group retreated, but the enemy used a shield and weapons to withstand their abilities.
• Fanxin struck the Heavenly Star Pirates’ fleet with seven falling fireballs, and Little Black Cat accelerated the ships out of the blast zone.
• After a day of travel, Fanxin asked Little Black Cat to spread recordings of the battle to expose the Heavenly Star Alliance’s apparent cover-up.
• Fanxin proposed attacking the Heavenly Star Alliance’s headquarters, and Law agreed after discussing the group’s strength and its unexplained failure to aid Doflamingo.
• Little Black Cat reported that several Heavenly Star Pirates had survived the fireballs, so Fanxin decided to delay an attack until they learned more about the alliance.

Fanxin and his allies arrived at Turtle Island, where an unknown man secretly spread smoke over their ships while they went ashore to eat. Sensing that something had happened, Fanxin warned the others not to return to the ships and decided to stay on the island while he watched for the culprit.

• Fanxin, Law, and the Straw Hat Pirates changed course and sailed together to Turtle Island, where they went ashore to sample the local food.
• A man in coarse clothing released white smoke that settled across the Fanxin Pirates', Straw Hat Pirates', and Heart Pirates' ships without alerting the robots.
• Fanxin sensed trouble aboard his ship and told Bingfeng he suspected someone had tampered with it, but chose to remain ashore and wait for the culprit.

• After eating, the crews split into groups to explore, while Fanxin reminded them to stay alert, use their alarms if trouble arose, and avoid going off alone.

Fanxin detected a shadow following him and used his soul form to trace it to members of Shadow Thorn, who suspected he belonged to the Soul Clan. The assassins decided to consult their boss about abandoning their mission for the Heavenly Star Alliance.

• Fanxin bought food for his Diamond World, then sensed a shadow following him and warned Little Black Cat, Little Fox, Bingfeng, and Wang Yan to stay together.
• Fanxin left his body in soul form and followed the shadow to a ship, where he learned the follower was the monkey-faced Shadow Assassin, a member of Shadow Thorn.
• The Shadow Assassin told the bearded man and the bald man that Fanxin had discovered him and that he believed a Soul Clan member was watching them.
• The Shadow Assassin sensed Fanxin’s presence disappear and insisted that Shadow Thorn abandon the operation rather than risk being killed.
• The bald man and the bearded man explained that their employer, the Heavenly Star Alliance, might retaliate if Shadow Thorn canceled the mission, so the bearded man proposed contacting their boss.

Fanxin forced Shadow Thorn's field team to withdraw temporarily, then accepted a challenge from a powerful hunter connected to the group. Their fight ended without a clear winner, while the hunter claimed Shadow Thorn could still carry out its mission.

• The monkey-faced man reported Fanxin's strength to his boss, who ordered Shadow Thorn's members to stand by while he consulted the Heavenly Star Alliance's young master.
• Fanxin watched Shadow Thorn's members return to their ship, then discovered a white-haired man concealed in his hotel room.
• The stranger said he had come to test Fanxin and offered to make Shadow Thorn withdraw if Fanxin won their fight, so Fanxin followed him to a deserted island.
• Fanxin and the tall man exchanged blade attacks, Haki-enhanced blows, and close-range strikes, but neither could defeat the other.
• The tall man said keeping Fanxin occupied would let Shadow Thorn continue its mission, and Fanxin answered that his Soul Clan ghosts could threaten the group's members.

Fanxin used the Soul Power Tower and his Conqueror's Haki to overwhelm Liu Guang, who abandoned Shadow Thorn's mission after realizing Fanxin was the Soul Clan's young master. Fanxin reunited with Bingfeng and Wang Yan, while Liu Guang later warned a red-eyed man that targeting Fanxin could bring the Soul Clan's wrath.

• Fanxin told Bingfeng, Wang Yan, and the others that Shadow Thorn had withdrawn, and he warned them to remain alert for other enemies.

Liu Guang canceled Shadow Thorn’s assignment to kill Fanxin after learning that Fanxin was the Soul Clan’s young master, and Hai Yan ordered the assignment canceled while plotting to protect his authority. Back on Turtle Island, Fanxin warned his companions to stay alert and went to inspect the ship, where intruders had secretly tampered with it.

• Liu Guang refused the red-eyed man’s demand to continue the assignment, and Shadow Thorn’s group left after Liu Guang warned them not to provoke Fanxin.
• The red-eyed man reported the failure to Hai Yan, who canceled the assignment after learning Fanxin was the Soul Clan’s young master.
• Hai Yan dismissed the red-eyed man and decided to strike first against those who threatened to strip him of his authority.
• At breakfast, Fanxin told Little Black Cat he would inspect the ship because someone had tampered with it.
• Fanxin asked Bingfeng and Wang Yan to keep everyone alert, then headed to the ship after learning intruders had evaded its robots.

Fanxin learned that the Ghost Clan wanted him to go to the Holy Land, where the Soul Clan and Ghost Clan had been cursed and the entrance to the Great One Piece was said to lie. He warned his allies that the Ghost Clan planned to draw them into a dangerous battle, and Law remained unfazed as the group considered whether to go.

• After making arrangements concerning the poisoned ship, Fanxin agreed to let a reporter interview him the next day, hoping to use her to spread news.
• Fanxin practiced his Soul Skills and gathered the Heavenly Soul Pirates, Straw Hat Pirates, and Law to discuss the Ghost Clan and their plan.
• Fanxin explained that a Ghost Clan woman had poisoned the ship to force him to visit the Holy Land, where the curse began and the Great One Piece's entrance was located.
• Robin, Luffy, the Straw Hats, and Law said they wanted to go to the Holy Land, and Fanxin warned them that it would be the main battlefield in the Ghost Clan's attempt to break the curse.
• Fanxin told the group the Ghost Clan might use them as cannon fodder, but Law replied that the warning would not change anything.
