Chapter Summaries

Fanxin and Wang Yan burned through the forest while searching for Ren Fang and the others, who had been captured by a mysterious servant of an evil golden dragon. Bingfeng escaped her vines with Xiaojin’s help, but when the dragon awakened, she stayed behind to fight it as Ren Fang and the others entered Wolf Valley; the battle continued as the dragon took to the sky.

• Fanxin used Xiaojin to track Ren Fang and headed into the forest with Wang Yan, who set the island ablaze to clear the vines and speed their search.
• Ren Fang, Bingfeng, Langyue, and Little Black Cat learned that an evil five-clawed golden dragon in a pool controlled the person who had captured them and meant to feed them to the dragon.

• The golden dragon emerged from the pool and flew into the sky, vowing not to let Bingfeng escape.

Fanxin, Wang Yan, and Bingfeng joined forces against the five-clawed golden dragon, with Bingfeng determined to claim its body. After Fanxin secretly took control of half the dragon and dragged it to the ground, he called on the two women to attack.

• Wang Yan sensed that Bingfeng was fighting the golden dragon, and a child who had earlier ambushed Fanxin offered to lead them to her.

• Fanxin and Wang Yan heard Jesse scream, climbed down, and found him clutching his hand in pain.

Fanxin claimed the Dragon-Slaying Sword, but Giant Dragon sealed it after explaining that it could control its wielder. Fanxin learned that he possessed Conqueror's Haki and agreed to train before the group continued their journey.

• After Ren Fang and the others recovered, Fanxin handed the ship’s control to Ren Fang and Wang Yan and trained with the giant dragon in Wolf Valley.

• The bar owner told Fanxin that Smoker, a powerful Marine colonel with a smoke ability, had cracked down on pirates and driven customers away.

He then sailed with his companions to Reverse Mountain, where they narrowly saved their ship from crashing onto land and entered the Grand Line.
