Ian and his companions reached Peji City after moving it out of the battlefield and found civilians killed by V5’s infrasound attack. As survivors emerged from hiding, Ian’s group tried to persuade them to leave with them, warning that the war was not over.

• Ian arrived in Peji City with Uvogin and the others and saw civilians killed by V5’s infrasound bomb among the rubble.

• Survivors cautiously left their hiding places after seeing the Toy Soldiers clear rubble without attacking them.
• Chrollo, Uvogin, Nobunaga, and the others called on the survivors to come with them, but many did not trust them and retreated.
• Ian directed Chrollo and the others to address the survivors again from atop the Toy Soldiers, saying they would rescue them and that staying risked further harm from the war.

Ian gathered Peji City’s survivors and used V5’s role in the massacre to persuade them to trust him and go to Ejin City. Just as he offered to take them there, President Xiupa and several generals emerged to confront him.

• Survivors followed Uvogin and the Toy Soldiers to Ian, while Ian planned to relocate Peji City’s population beside Ejin City and build support for his rule.
• Ian told the crowd that the war continued nearby and that more than a hundred thousand people had died in the pit, killed by monsters and V5 soldiers.
• Ian warned that V5 might silence the survivors to hide the massacre, prompting them to beg him not to hand them over.
• Ian invited the survivors to leave for Ejin City and rebuild their homes there.
• President Xiupa and several military generals emerged from the shelter and called for Ian to wait.

Xiupa approached Ian and argued that the survivors from all twenty-two cities of the Republic of the Congo should be rescued, not just those from Peji City. Ian recognized Xiupa’s political skill and had Aimina bring him closer, leaving Xiupa suspended before the group of giants.

• Xiupa appeared with several generals and asked Ian not to leave the Republic of the Congo yet.
• Xiupa explained that V5 might persecute survivors in the other cities and begged Ian to rescue people from all twenty-two cities.
• The survivors agreed with Xiupa, while Ian recognized his political instincts and considered how he might work with Xia and Kazan.
• Ian nodded to Aimina, who lifted Xiupa into the air and drew him toward Ian and the others.

Ian agreed to evacuate the people of Peji on the condition that Xiupa lead them to treat one another with respect, while Xiupa interpreted the exchange as a chance to become a king. After footage of Ian’s giant soldiers spread worldwide, Netero warned Kigen that Ian’s power exceeded his own and advised against opposing him.

• Ian agreed to take Peji’s survivors from other cities as well, provided Xiupa encouraged mutual respect and love among his people.
• Xiupa pledged to put Ian’s will first and privately understood the arrangement as a path to becoming a king.
• Footage of Ian’s giant soldiers and their battle with the Rock Giant caused an uproar in the outside world and exposed Nen users.
• Kigen asked Netero about Ian’s strength and goals after seeing the footage.
• Netero said Ian was probably more powerful than he was, admitted he had never seen Ian’s limits, and advised Kigen not to make an enemy of him.

Kigen realized Ian’s ties to Meteor City made him difficult for the V5 to control, while footage of Ian commanding dozens of Red Giants stunned people around the world. At Kukuroo Mountain, Zeno praised Silva for sending his children to Ian, whom the Zoldyck family now saw as a world-shaping force.

• Kigen considered Ian easier to control than Sashado until Netero warned him that Ian came from Meteor City and had no government ties.
• Television broadcasts of Ian driving dozens of enormous Red Giants through the forest to Peji City astonished viewers around the world and stunned Nen users at Heavens Arena.
• Zeno praised Silva for recognizing Ian’s potential and sending his children to stay with him.
• Zeno estimated that even Netero could handle only a few Red Giants, while Ian controlled thirty, and Kikyo watched in awe.

Kikyo, Silva, and Zeno discussed how Ian’s strength could shape Illumi and Milluki’s futures and perhaps lead humanity toward the Dark Continent. They then considered why the red giant had not attacked Ian, with Zeno concluding that the two had fought before and the monster feared him.

• Kikyo said Ian’s strength had reassured her about Illumi and Milluki’s futures, while Silva admitted the brothers might one day surpass him and Zeno.
• Zeno agreed that Ian could open an unimaginable future for humanity and perhaps lead people to the wondrous continent, though he feared he might not live to see it.
• Zeno said he would be content if Silva, Illumi, and the others could support the family before he died, and the family returned their attention to the broadcast.
• Silva asked why the red giant knew Ian and had not attacked him despite the V5’s campaign against it.
• Zeno reasoned that Ian and the monster had likely fought before, and that the monster’s wariness of Ian had kept it from attacking while it considered his words.

Xiupa led Congo’s survivors in worshipping Ian as a god, and Ian allowed the display to continue because it could calm them during relocation. When a new battle erupted between Sashado and V5’s forces, Ian judged that the ordinary soldiers had no chance of defeating Sashado and watched from above.

• Xiupa and his generals knelt before Ian, and the survivors followed, chanting their tribute to him.
• Ian felt briefly swept up in the worship but let it continue because it might reassure the survivors.

• Ian and his companions saw that Sashado was fighting V5’s forces with new weapons, while Xiupa begged forgiveness for his blasphemy.
• Ian concluded that V5’s soldiers could not defeat Sashado, whose Nen and sacrifices made him nearly impossible to kill.

Ian promised to evacuate the civilians from Peji City and began drawing them under his protection, while V5’s troops resumed their attack on Sashado. The Rock Giant was reduced to dust by shock-mine bombs, and dozens of bombs exploded around Sashado.

• Ian told Xiupa and the civilians that the war had nothing to do with them and promised to take them away.

• V5’s troops fired shock-mine bombs at the Rock Giant and Sashado; the Rock Giant crumbled to dust, and dozens of bombs exploded around Sashado.

V5’s tremor-mine bombs caused Sashado to crumble into dust, and the soldiers and war correspondents believed they had defeated him. The victory footage reached the V5 nations, while no one considered where Ian had gone or how Peji City had disappeared.

• Sashado grew furious when the tremor-mine bombs damaged his body and realized the V5 was testing him through its soldiers.

• The V5 nations received footage of the apparent victory, and the troops rested without asking where Ian or Peji City had gone.

The V5 celebrated its soldiers’ apparent victory over Sashado and the power of its new weapons. Berudo warned Akaru that the battle had gone too smoothly and that Sashado might still be alive, leaving the soldiers in danger.

• Kannari Rin and the V5 officials watched footage of the exhausted soldiers and applauded their apparent victory over Sashado.
• Kannari Rin and Wilson worried that the V5’s weapons could diminish the standing and prospects of Nen users.
• Akaru praised the weapons’ performance and asked Berudo whether the recent military strategy had been right.
• Berudo said his calculations predicted the soldiers would die and Sashado would suffer heavy but nonfatal damage.
• Berudo warned that Sashado could have survived through a Nen Ability, and Akaru recalled the monster’s cold, still gaze as it was struck by the Seismic Mine Bomb.

In the white hall, Berudo warned Bono Netani that Sashado might have survived the attack, leaving the gathered officials uneasy. In Peji City, Aimina sensed that her father’s aura had vanished, while Ian doubted the V5 had truly killed him and reminded the sisters that Sashado was no longer an ordinary biological being.

• Akaru and Berudo realized the V5 had stopped broadcasting the battle and that it might already be too late to warn the army.
• Bono praised Akaru’s weapons and tried to win access to them, hoping they would protect him from Sashado.
• Berudo warned Bono that Sashado might still be alive, then left with Akaru as Bono grew fearful.
• In Peji City, Aimina told Ian that her father’s aura had disappeared, and Ian wondered whether Sashado had been eliminated.
• Ian told Aimina and Eluna that Sashado was a genuine monster and that surviving his Godly Might No. 1 made him exceptionally difficult to kill.

Ian prepared to move Peji City's survivors to help other disaster-struck cities, unaware that Sashado had returned from death and was heading after the soldiers who had attacked him. A distant explosion from a Rose bomb interrupted Ian as he activated the Map of Repositioning.

• Sashado's scattered Black Mud remnants gathered pale-skinned monsters and surviving Pterosaurs, whose ritual sacrifice formed a black egg.
• Sashado burst from the egg, made armor from underground metal, and set out to retaliate against the soldiers, with Ian as a possible target.
• Ian's giant Toy Soldiers guarded Peji City's survivors after he confirmed that nearly a hundred thousand people had died and more than two hundred thousand remained alive.
• Ian activated the Map of Repositioning to take the survivors elsewhere, but a distant Rose bomb exploded in the sky.

Ian saw the Rose Bomb explode in the distance, then arranged to move Peji City and nearby settlements toward Ejin City. Meanwhile, Sashado slaughtered the V5 soldiers at Peji City’s original location and continued toward the leaders behind them.

• Nearly 200,000 people, including Ian and the Phantom Troupe, watched the Rose Bomb bloom on the horizon, while Biscuit warned Ian about the destruction caused by weapons made for war.
• Ian told Aimina and Eluna that Sashado was probably alive, then chose the city near Peji City as the next destination for his relocation plan.
• The airship’s passengers looked down and discovered that Peji City, its survivors, and the Red Giants had vanished from beneath them.
• Sashado attacked the V5 soldiers in the forest, killing or swallowing them with deadly environmental hazards.
• Sashado continued forward with a faint smile, intending to say hello to the leaders behind the soldiers.

Sashado entered the forest and used his ability to kill V5 soldiers with the terrain and plants around them. The remaining troops panicked, unable to see or identify the attacker.

• Sashado walked through the forest, using his power to turn its vegetation and debris into weapons.
• V5 soldiers rested and talked about their mission, the destroyed monster, and the mysterious boy they had encountered.
