Chapter Summaries

The Whitebeard Pirates’ Seventeenth Division fought the Donquixote Family in Dressrosa while Doflamingo waited for Navy reinforcements. As Marineford’s leaders argued over who should respond, Kuzan volunteered to go to Dressrosa and confront Golden Lion and the other forces.

• Doflamingo learned that the Whitebeard Pirates had invaded Dressrosa and went to meet them with senior officers, while Viola stood by him.
• Miss Fortune shot Gladius after his bullet ricocheted off a shield, and the Seventeenth Division gained the upper hand across Dressrosa despite Gin being badly beaten by Machvise.
• Sengoku and the other Navy leaders discussed Vergo’s disobedience and Mary Geoise’s dispatch of Darius and the Special Response Unit to protect Doflamingo.
• Kizaru and Akainu each refused to go to Dressrosa, with Akainu choosing to guard Marineford and Impel Down against a possible threat from Marshall D. Teach.
• Kuzan rose from his seat, took his bicycle, and headed for Dressrosa, declaring that he would defeat Golden Lion and the other old men.

Kuzan rode to Dressrosa with no memory of his mission, only to find the island in chaos and Ma Qiao fighting Vergo. Ma Qiao handed Kuzan evidence that Vergo had spied for the Donquixote Family, while keeping Vergo to train him and Crocodile in Armament Haki.

• Kuzan forgot why he was heading to Dressrosa, argued with Garp about skipping a livestream, and continued toward the island.
• Garp told Sengoku that he planned to lead Sanji into embezzling Marine funds so Sanji could be dismissed publicly and take over SWORD undercover on Whole Cake Island.
• Kuzan arrived at Dressrosa, saw the Floating Sky Island and Whitebeard Pirates helping people evacuate, and explored while searching for a safe livestream location.
• Ma Qiao knocked Vergo unconscious, and Kuzan accepted Ma Qiao's claim that he was a good person despite seeing him attack a Marine Vice Admiral.
• Ma Qiao gave Kuzan documents showing that Vergo had sold Marine intelligence to the Donquixote Family and said he would take responsibility to protect the Marines' reputation.

Ma Qiao and Kuzan investigated the Donquixote Family’s crimes in Dressrosa, captured Senor Pink, and discovered the horrors inside the underground factory. After Kuzan called Marines to aid the victims, he realized his own mission was nearly out of time.

• Ma Qiao showed Kuzan intelligence about the Donquixote Family, and Kuzan agreed to investigate its underground factory with him and Trafalgar Law.
• Senor Pink tried to block the group, but Tahm Kench, Xin Zhao, and Jax subdued him, and Ma Qiao sentenced him to 200 years in prison using Kuzan’s authority.
• Ma Qiao proposed funding a private prison, and Kuzan listened as he described the business plan.
• Kuzan, Xin Zhao, Jax, and Graves entered the factory, found injured captives, and drove off the Donquixote Family’s soldiers while Ma Qiao waited outside.
• Kuzan called for a Marine patrol ship, then noticed Garen and Darius had arrived and suddenly realized his mission was nearly out of time.

Doflamingo was overwhelmed by Katakuri, Yamato, and Gangplank until Darius arrived to fight Yamato, while battles across Dressrosa reached a stalemate. Doflamingo publicly demanded Kuzan’s help, but Buggy appeared on the broadcast claiming he had already defeated the Admiral, with Ekko secretly forcing Buggy and Galdino to read a script.

• Katakuri, Yamato, and Gangplank beat Doflamingo while Ma Qiao watched through Gangplank’s eyes, and Doflamingo awakened Conqueror’s Haki Coating to endure the assault.
• Darius arrived to aid the Donquixote Family in the name of its supposed true head and clashed with Yamato using the Black Cleaver.
• Gangplank joined the fight against Yamato, Doflamingo fought back against Katakuri, and Varus’s Marines battled Miss Fortune and the Whitebeard Pirates’ forces as the fighting stalled.
• Doflamingo broadcast a demand for Kuzan to come fight for him, unaware that Kuzan was not in Dressrosa.
• Buggy interrupted the broadcast and claimed he had stopped Kuzan, while Ekko was revealed to be forcing Buggy and Galdino to recite the boast from a teleprompter.
