Kuzan arrived to stop Lucci from attacking Rock and froze him, while Issho defeated Kaku and the other CP agents. Afterward, Kuzan noticed that Airin’s jewelry held sealed traces of Conqueror’s Haki.
Roy resisted Imu’s attempt to take control of his body and forced Imu out of the darkness domain. He summoned an old man to strike Imu with a hundredfold iron fist, unleashing a shockwave that tore through the skies above Mary Geoise.
Garp’s hundredfold Iron Fist appeared to destroy Imu, while the allied fighters defeated several Holy Knights across the battlefield. Roy steadied the exhausted Garp, but warned that Imu’s battle might not be over.
Imu revived by draining the fallen Saints and Holy Knights, then awakened Uranus to destroy the world. Roy revealed its power source was a fake Mother Flame, causing the ancient weapon to explode and leaving Imu raging amid the destruction.
Imu used Black Turn Domination to open Underworld gates across the battlefield, turning Ivankov and Crow into demons and unleashing demonized Saint Garling. Roy fought Imu while the others tried to contain the demons, but Imu’s Black Piece: Fall swallowed Sakazuki and Zephyr into darkness.
Zephyr and Sakazuki emerged as demonic, mindless fighters, forcing their former allies into a desperate battle while Roy attacked Imu with fused Haki, spatial power, and darkness. As the conflict spread across the Red Line, Shanks spotted two streaks of white light, and an ancient drumbeat began to shake the battlefield.
Loki and Blackbeard Teach arrived on the battlefield as Roy fought Imu, and Imu recognized Teach as Davy. Roy knocked Imu away and ordered Teach to do his part, leaving Teach and Loki charging the demonized Sakazuki and Zephyr to complete the ritual.
Teach and Loki joined Kizaru and Dragon to free Sakazuki and Zephyr from Black Turn Domination, while Roy broke Imu’s Devil Contract and struck Imu down. The chapter ended with Roy preparing to settle the score as Imu fell.
Roy and his allies joined forces to defeat Imu, whose immortality depended on forbidden power and a succession of bodies. Their final attack ended Imu’s rule and brought eight hundred years of darkness to an end.
After Imu vanished, Roy confirmed that she was gone as dawn broke over the ruined Mary Geoise. Zoro and Kuina then destroyed Saint Garling with a combined sword technique, bringing the battle to an end.
Vegapunk revealed the truth about the Void Century to the world as the survivors cleared the ruins of Mary Geoise. When Enel tried to kill Saint Shamrock, Shanks intervened, and Roy stopped their clash before Shanks offered to show him the National Treasure in exchange for sparing Shamrock.
After Vegapunk revealed the D. Clan’s history, Roy spared Teach and sent him to Lulusia, while the world learned the World Government had fallen. Vegapunk ended his broadcast by warning that the world was about to sink into the sea.
After the World Government fell, Roy and Shanks entered the depths of Pangaea Castle to uncover the National Treasure. Roy learned that it was an ancient device for rewriting life, and connected its legacy to altered races, the Davy Clan, and God Valley.
Roy recounted how Imu betrayed Davy Jones and the Davy Clan over the National Treasure, then wondered whether the sea level was rising. At Marineford, he offered Buggy and Bullet pardons if they destroyed the Red Line, leaving them shocked by the impossible-sounding task.
Roy gained Neptune and Shirahoshi’s support for destroying the Red Line and reshaping the world’s ocean currents. The Red Earth Plan began with a worldwide declaration, and the Red Line stood on the verge of its transformation.
Roy and his allies began tearing apart the Red Line, combining their powers to break the continent and clear its fragments from the sea. Shirahoshi and the Sea Kings helped protect the world as the four oceans joined, leaving a new strait where the Red Barrier had stood.
As the Red Line collapsed, Roy and his allies worked to control the surging currents and keep the continents and islands from being destroyed. Just as their efforts began to stabilize the world, a colossal wave rose from the deep sea, leaving everyone stunned.
Roy used spatial barriers to hold back a world-shaking tsunami while his allies continued breaking apart the Red Line. He summoned Aqua, the Water Goddess, who calmed the sea and left them to witness the dawn of a new world.
Aqua calmed the world-ending wave and soothed the wounded sea, allowing the waters to flow together again. As Roy and the others honored her, the four seas merged beneath the gap in the Red Line and the world became whole.
Roy announced the successful destruction of the Red Line, connecting the four seas and promising to end the world’s divisions. One month later, All Blue had formed, a World United Assembly had begun, and people of many races lived and worked together in the new era.
Seven months after the Red Line collapsed, Sanji reached All Blue and cooked at the New Era’s first All-Sea Banquet. After Zeff praised him, Sanji vowed to let the whole world taste All Blue.
Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr were assigned to advise the reopened Neo Marine Training Camp, where they put the recruits through brutal training. Watching the recruits recover and keep standing, Roy decided the old men could not retire yet, only to be reminded that his own retirement paperwork remained unsigned.
Nami prepared to map the New Era’s changed seas and joined Luffy, Ace, and Sabo in forming an adventure crew. After saying goodbye to Garp and Dadan, the crew set sail from Foosha Village to explore the unknown sea.
Roronoa Zoro defeated Kuina in the World Swordsman Tournament final, fulfilling their long-awaited duel and renewing their bond. Before Zoro could claim the title, Dracule Mihawk challenged him to one last battle.
