Chapter Summaries

King fought Huijin at the west gate, overcoming her Ash Flame and Conqueror’s Haki until she surrendered. Huijin revealed her face for the first time in twenty years, while King headed for the north gate to help Kuma.

• Bullet asked Ginny about the west gate, and she reported that Fire Demon was pinned down and Huijin was fighting there.
• Huijin used her Ash Flame to devour Fire Demon’s flames, but King arrived and saved him.
• King compressed his flames into a point that exploded inside Huijin’s Ash Flame, then fought her with Conqueror’s Haki.
• After nearly a hundred exchanges, King and Huijin were both badly injured, and Huijin surrendered only to him.
• King offered Huijin a bandage, but she discarded it and revealed her face after twenty years of hiding.
• Ginny told King there was trouble at the north gate, and he left to help Kuma.

Huijin removed her bandages as Kuma defeated Jizō and secured the north gate, though he was badly injured. Kuma learned that Lin Yuan faced the Iron Wall Guard while Kaido fought Orochi, and he headed to watch.

• Huijin sat among the west gate ruins, touched her uncovered face, and said she was tired of hiding it.
• Kuma fought Jizō at the north gate, enduring Ryuo strikes and a crushing blow from an iron pillar.
• Kuma used his own repulsion to ricochet around the square and strike Jizō's unprotected knee joints until Jizō surrendered.
• Kuma confirmed to Caimi that the north gate was theirs, then drew the toxins from Caimi's wounds.
• Ginny told Kuma that Lin Yuan faced the Iron Wall Guard and Kaido had gone to fight Orochi, so Kuma walked toward the square to watch.

Lin Yuan defeated Tie Gui and broke the Iron Wall Guard’s advance, then entered the castle alone to help Kaido fight Orochi. As Huijin treated Kuma and the others guarded the plaza, Lin Yuan climbed toward the battle on the top floor.

• Lin Yuan used Spatial Perception and Space Folding to exploit gaps in the Iron Wall Guard’s formation while Bullet, Kuma, and King attacked its flanks and rear.
• Tie Gui anticipated Lin Yuan’s movements and wounded him, but Lin Yuan redirected Tie Gui’s axe strikes through doors and defeated him in close combat.
• Tie Gui’s fall halted the Iron Wall Guard, and Lin Yuan left the soldiers in the plaza before heading into the castle.
• Lin Yuan sent Bullet, Kuma, and King to remain on standby, explaining that their injuries would make them a liability upstairs.
• Huijin used her gray flames to stop Kuma’s bleeding while Lin Yuan climbed toward Kaido and Orochi’s ongoing fight.

Lin Yuan and Kaido defeated Orochi in the castle after Lin Yuan discovered and destroyed the source of Orochi’s regeneration. With Orochi dead, the allied forces took Flower Capital and began tending to the wounded and repairing the city.

• Lin Yuan entered the poison-filled castle and joined the badly wounded Kaido against Orochi, whose eight heads had regenerated and were protected by Ryuo.
• Lin Yuan and Kaido attacked Orochi together, but Orochi regenerated his heads and pursued Lin Yuan with guided venom projectiles.
• Lin Yuan used Spatial Perception to locate the growth at the end of Orochi’s tailbone, then destroyed it with a Seastone bullet infused with Conqueror’s Haki and a Space Cutting Fault-Line Slash.
• Kaido smashed Orochi’s final attack and crushed his severed head, killing him; Ginny confirmed that the allies had taken Flower Capital.
• Lin Yuan helped Kaido leave the castle as the Awakening’s severe aftereffects set in, while Huijin tended to Kuma and the others gathered in the square.
• Lin Yuan handed Orochi’s body to Fukurokuju, Hachinosu’s flag replaced Orochi’s, and the allied forces began clearing streets and arranging compensation for casualties and damage.

Lin Yuan’s forces secured control of Wano Country after defeating Orochi, while Lin Yuan negotiated terms for Kuri’s autonomy and fair Seastone trade with Kozuki Oden. With Wano’s immediate future settled, Lin Yuan planned to return to Hachinosu and seek a way to reach Zou.

• Lin Yuan ordered compensation for civilian casualties and the capture of the remaining spies, while his crew inventoried Orochi’s treasury and preserved evidence of his Seastone deal with the Rosward Family.
• Fukurokuju’s forces captured Kurozumi Semimaru and Tetsumaru, and Gecko Moria and his allies seized three CP5 agents for a future hostage exchange.
• Huijin used her Ashen Flame to heal Kaido, while King and Huijin grew closer and Bullet kept teasing Kaido with food.
• Fukurokuju invited Kozuki Oden to meet Lin Yuan, and Oden agreed to Kuri’s self-rule, fair Seastone prices, and taxes no higher than under Orochi.
• Lin Yuan’s forces took control of Wano Country, and Lin Yuan told Ginny he would remain a few more days before returning to Hachinosu.
• Lin Yuan asked Ginny how to reach Zou, and she suggested checking Hachinosu’s books and Caesar’s records before they departed in three days.

After securing Wano Country, Lin Yuan and Zephyr reviewed the crew’s weaknesses and set goals for developing their abilities against stronger enemies. Huijin joined Hachinosu as both ship’s doctor and fighter, and Zephyr began a month-long special training program.

• Ginny reported Wano’s postwar arrangements, including local governance, Hachinosu’s control of Seastone exports and port rights, and aid for the people; Lin Yuan said they would not disturb the country.
• Lin Yuan and Zephyr assessed the fighters’ weaknesses and assigned training to improve their Observation Haki, stamina, Conqueror’s Haki, Devil Fruit abilities, and combat skills.
• Kaido, Bullet, King, Huijin, Kuma, Moria, Inazuma, and Lin Yuan each described how they intended to explore the limits of their powers.
• Huijin accepted a position in Hachinosu as ship’s doctor and fighter, choosing to stay because King was remaining in Wano.
• Zephyr assigned the crew a month-long schedule of physical training, Haki practice, and individual ability development.

Zephyr began a month of training in Wano, where Ashura Doji taught the group to use Ryuo by making Armament Haki flow through Seastone. As Kaido and King practiced controlling their awakened abilities and Lin Yuan advanced his Spatial Perception, Zephyr confirmed they would leave for Zou the next day.

• Zephyr outlined the group's training schedule, and Ashura Doji demonstrated Ryuo as flowing Armament Haki that could damage targets from within.
• Lin Yuan used Spatial Perception to guide his Haki into Seastone, while Kaido struggled to make his powerful Haki flow and Bullet pierced the stone with compressed Haki.
• Ashura Doji concluded that the group had solid foundations and left them to practice Ryuo for the coming month.
• Kaido practiced controlling his awakened lightning and drew its scattered power back into his body, while King trained his precision by moving thirty rocks through intersecting paths.
• Lin Yuan practiced perceiving spatial patterns, and Zephyr told him the group would leave for Zou the next day.
• Kaido discussed their Seastone training with Lin Yuan, who described hardening as sealing and Ryuo as releasing.

Lin Yuan’s crew sailed from Wano toward Zou, where they discovered slave traders and evidence that the World Government was targeting the Mink Tribe. They reached the giant elephant as Marine warships and masked figures appeared on its back, and Lin Yuan ordered the Void to approach before they could act.

• Lin Yuan and the crew left Wano aboard the Void, while Zephyr stayed behind to guard Hachinosu.
• Ginny noticed the Vivre Card’s erratic movement, and a strange fog revealed tracks and signs of ships gathering near Zou.
• The crew confronted Diyazi and the Scimitar Pirates, who planned to capture Mink Tribe members for sale; Kaido and the others routed their fleet and captured survivors.
• Diyazi revealed that a masked person wearing the World Government’s insignia had directed the slave traders to wait at the Elephant Tide.
• Lin Yuan identified Zou as a giant elephant searching for its lost companions, and Ginny spotted Marine warships and masked personnel on its back.
• The Den Den Mushi connection failed, and Lin Yuan ordered the Void to charge through the fog toward Zou.

Lin Yuan and his crew reached Zou, where he secretly took a rubbing of the Poneglyph and learned that the real Road Poneglyph was on Fish-Man Island. As the Marines and Holy Knights arrived to attack the Minks, the Void sailed toward Sabaody Archipelago, leaving Zou behind.

• Lin Yuan, Kaido, Bullet, King, and Huijin traveled through a space gate to Zou and asked the Mink chief to let them see the Poneglyph.
• After the chief refused, Lin Yuan used a miniature space gate to take a rubbing without entering the clearing or harming anyone.
• The Mink chief learned that Lin Yuan had taken the rubbing but let the crew go because they had not hurt his people or damaged the forest.
• Ginny translated the rubbing and revealed that Joy Boy had left the real Road Poneglyph at Fish-Man Island.
• Ginny warned that ten warships carrying five masked Holy Knights were approaching Zou to seize the Poneglyph and capture the Minks.
• Lin Yuan ordered the Void toward Sabaody Archipelago, leaving the Minks to fight the incoming force.

Lin Yuan and his crew brought the Void to Sabaody for coating and went to an auction to buy a Fish-Man Girl. After Bullet struck Saint Charlos to stop him from taking her, the crew escaped to sea, where Lin Yuan faced Garp as the Marines pursued them.

• Lin Yuan negotiated with the coating craftsman to coat the Void for 350 million Beli over two and a half weeks, while the crew explored Sabaody.
• At the auction, Lin Yuan bid 350 million Beli for a Fish-Man Girl, but Saint Charlos arrived and tried to claim her.
• Bullet punched Saint Charlos, and Lin Yuan freed the Fish-Man Girl by cutting through her bomb collar and cage.
• Lin Yuan opened a door for the crew to escape to the Void, and the craftsman agreed to finish coating the ship at sea for an extra 300 million Beli.
• Three Marine warships pursued the Void, and Lin Yuan stayed behind to face Garp, who recognized him as Zephyr's student.

Lin Yuan fought Garp and escaped after Garp chose not to pursue him, then led the Void through the deep-sea currents and past Sea Kings to Fish-Man Island. The crew brought Shira home and was allowed to stay at the harbor.

• Lin Yuan clashed with Garp, used Space Cutting against his Armament Haki, and was badly struck before retreating to the Void; Garp let him go and reported that the crew had escaped.
• After the Void's coating was finished, Ginny warned Lin Yuan about the currents and Sea Kings on the route to Fish-Man Island.
• Kuma, King, and Huijin helped steer the Void through the Deep-Sea Current Zone, and Kaido frightened four Sea Kings away with his Conqueror's Haki.
• The Void reached Fish-Man Island, where Shira returned home and thanked Lin Yuan's group for saving her.
• An elderly Fish-Man thanked Lin Yuan and allowed the crew to stay at the harbor, while Kaido put back a crab after learning it was a child's pet.

Lin Yuan secured permission from Neptune to take rubbings of both Poneglyphs in the Sea Forest and formed an alliance with Fish-Man Island. After saying goodbye, the group sailed toward Hachinosu with the rubbings and planned to pursue the last Road Poneglyph after Ginny translated them.

• Neptune questioned Lin Yuan about his intentions, then agreed to let him take rubbings of both Sea Forest Poneglyphs and accepted a Den Den Mushi to contact him for help.
• At a feast in Ryugu Palace, Prince Manboshi admired Huijin's wings, and Neptune confirmed that Fish-Man Island owed Lin Yuan a favor.
• Lin Yuan took rubbings of the red Road Poneglyph and the blue apology Poneglyph, while Huijin wondered about Joy Boy's connection to the Lunarians.
• Shira guided the group through Fish-Man Island, where they saw three-year-old Jinbe defeat three older children, and later gave Lin Yuan a conch pendant before they departed.
• Aboard the Void, Ginny said the red rubbing would take three days to translate, and Lin Yuan announced they would return to Hachinosu before seeking the last Road Poneglyph.

Lin Yuan and his crew returned to Hachinosu with translations of the Road Poneglyph and Joy Boy’s apology, then arranged a visit to Big Mom to seek the final Road Poneglyph. The Void set sail for Whole Cake Island, where Lin Yuan hoped to trade with Big Mom and eventually gather allies for a voyage to Laugh Tale.

• Ginny translated the red Road Poneglyph and part of Joy Boy’s apology, which described his failed promise to bring Fish-Man Island’s merfolk to the surface.
• Kaido and Bullet defeated the Iron Fang Pirates and took their crew prisoner aboard the Void.
• At Hachinosu, Lin Yuan told Ginny to contact Big Mom and arrange a visit to Whole Cake Island to discuss business and the final Road Poneglyph.
• Big Mom invited Lin Yuan and his crew to a banquet, and Ginny later revealed that Joy Boy’s apology named the D. Clan as guardians of the Ancient Kingdom tasked with protecting Laugh Tale.
• Lin Yuan told Ginny he wanted Rocks, Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Roger to sail separately to Laugh Tale and meet there once the crew had all four Road Poneglyphs.
• The Void left Hachinosu and sailed toward Whole Cake Island.

Lin Yuan and his crew arrived at Whole Cake Island, where Big Mom hosted them for a feast and proposed a deal for a rubbing of her Road Poneglyph. Big Mom postponed naming her terms until the next day, leaving Lin Yuan to consider what she might demand.

• Lin Yuan, Kaido, and the crew passed through Totto Land and met Perospero and Katakuri at Whole Cake Island’s harbor.
• The group toured the dessert-filled town and reached Big Mom’s Castle, where Big Mom welcomed them to a feast.
• Big Mom asked King and Huijin to have children with her, and both Lunarians refused.
• After the feast, Lin Yuan asked Big Mom for the right to take a rubbing of her Road Poneglyph, and she said she would name her terms the next day.
• Katakuri asked Lin Yuan about the Road Poneglyphs and warned him that Big Mom would drive a hard bargain.
• Lin Yuan told Ginny that Big Mom had delayed negotiations and suspected she would seek bloodlines, territory, or power rather than money.

Lin Yuan negotiated with Big Mom for a rubbing of her Road Poneglyph, agreeing to supply Seastone and reserve nine places for her people on the journey to the Final Island. With all four Road Poneglyph rubbings secured, he sailed toward Hachinosu planning to trade access to the route for offers from Roger, Whitebeard, and others.

• Big Mom agreed to let Lin Yuan copy her Road Poneglyph in exchange for a yearly Seastone contract and nine places on the Final Island voyage, subject to his conditions.
• Lin Yuan told Big Mom he planned to offer Roger, Whitebeard, Rocks, Golden Lion, and others a chance to reach the Final Island in exchange for payment or other contributions.
• Lin Yuan made a rubbing of Big Mom's Road Poneglyph in the castle basement and confirmed he now had all four rubbings.
• Katakuri asked Lin Yuan whether he could join the voyage, and Lin Yuan told him Big Mom would decide who used her nine places.
• The Void left Whole Cake Island for Hachinosu, and Lin Yuan told Ginny he had all four rubbings and intended to negotiate for the route.

Lin Yuan and his crew returned to Hachinosu with all four Road Poneglyph rubbings, and Ginny confirmed that their route could only be followed during a one-month window in late winter to early spring. Lin Yuan invited the major pirate crews to negotiate for the route and prepared to depart at winter’s end, whether Rocks came or not.

• King used his Devil Fruit ability to make the Void fly toward Hachinosu, while Kuma steered it through the air.
• A pirate ship approached the Void, recognized Lin Yuan and his bounty, then turned away after Lin Yuan told them to leave.
• Three CP ships followed the Void from a distance before turning back, and Lin Yuan’s crew reached Hachinosu the following evening.
• Ginny confirmed the coordinates and timing from all four rubbings, and Lin Yuan had her contact Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Rocks with an offer to exchange for the route.
• Roger set course for Hachinosu, Whitebeard waited, Golden Lion sent a reconnaissance ship, and Rocks held back until Lin Yuan named his price.
• Lin Yuan told Ginny he expected Roger to arrive first and said the crew would leave at winter’s end regardless of whether Rocks came.

Roger and his crew visited Hachinosu, where Roger and Lin Yuan agreed to travel together using Lin Yuan’s route and sparred at the training ground. After the Roger Pirates departed, Lin Yuan told Kaido that Whitebeard would come later and Rocks would arrive last, before the end of winter.

• Roger arrived at Hachinosu with Rayleigh, Gaban, Shanks, Buggy, and other crew members, and Lin Yuan welcomed them.
• At a feast, Lin Yuan confirmed he had gathered all four Road Poneglyphs and explained that Zephyr lived on the island; Shanks and Buggy later explored the training ground.
• Roger asked to enter their destination first, but Lin Yuan said they would decide the order when they arrived, and Roger agreed to join the journey with his whole crew.
• Roger sparred with Lin Yuan, who used the Door-Door Fruit to redirect Roger’s Haki-coated punches.
• Roger set a meeting for the end of winter and sailed away; Lin Yuan told Kaido that Whitebeard would come later and Rocks would come last, or they would go themselves.

Lin Yuan and his crew completed preparations to sail for the Final Island after receiving confirmation that Whitebeard, Roger, Golden Lion, and Rocks would also come. The Void departed Hachinosu at winter’s end, leaving the group underway toward their meeting point.

• Marco delivered Whitebeard’s agreement to Lin Yuan, with the condition that whoever arrived first would enter first, and said Whitebeard would bring one ship.
• Golden Lion’s scout ship watched Hachinosu for four hours before leaving, and Lin Yuan predicted Golden Lion would arrive before winter ended.
• Slow Heartbeat delivered Rocks’s message that he would bring one ship but travel separately and wait at the entrance if he arrived first.
• Lin Yuan’s crew stocked the Void and completed preparations while Ginny marked the meeting point on the nautical chart.
• At winter’s end, Lin Yuan and his crew cast off from Hachinosu aboard the Void and sailed toward the meeting point.

Lin Yuan led Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, and Rocks's crew to the ancient underwater ruins, while Garp followed in his Marine warship. The fleet entered the ruins through a giant stone archway, with the secret of the Void Century seemingly within reach.

• The great pirate crews assembled at the rendezvous, but Rocks stayed aboard his silent black ship and did not appear.
• Garp arrived alone and said he wanted to witness the truth Roger had spent half his life searching for; he then followed the fleet despite Roger's warning about an archway.
• The ships sailed to an ancient underwater city marked with writing identical to the Road Poneglyphs, and Lin Yuan ordered the Void to dive.
• The fleet passed through the giant stone archway into the ruins, while Garp paused outside before ordering his warship to follow.

Lin Yuan and the other pirates discovered Joy Boy’s final message on Final Island, learning the Ancient Kingdom’s history and the locations of the Ancient Weapons. After Roger and the others departed, Lin Yuan took the Void back to Hachinosu, leaving the next steps undecided.

• The crews explored the preserved city on Final Island, and Lin Yuan led his group to the main temple and its enormous tablet.
• Ginny translated Joy Boy’s message, which described the Ancient Kingdom’s destruction, the Ancient Weapons, the D. Clan, and the secrets left behind.
• Roger said he had found the answer he had sought, while Lin Yuan declined to discuss the Ancient Weapons’ locations further.
• Rocks left without comment, and Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom, and Garp departed Final Island.
• Lin Yuan invited Garp to join him as a righteous pirate, but Garp returned to his warship and sailed away.
• Lin Yuan and his crew left Final Island aboard the Void and headed toward Hachinosu, planning to decide what to do next.
