Chapter Summaries

CP9 Deputy Chief Roy went to Mock Town to recover a stolen shipment, but the raid on the Giant Sword Pirates turned into a fierce fight when their captain revealed his explosive Devil Fruit powers. Roy wounded Bambina, though Bambina detonated his own blood and escaped the clash with Roy’s condition unclear.

• Roy rushed to the base and joined the battle after Bruno was blasted aside by Bambina.
• Roy used Weakness Sonic Wave and a sword strike to slash Bambina’s shoulder, but Bambina detonated his blood and blasted himself backward to escape.

Roy defeated the Giant Sword Pirates and arranged for their spoils to be distributed while concealing the loss of stolen supplies. Bruno then presented him with a map that appeared to show a Devil Fruit’s location.

• Roy dodged Bambina’s blood-triggered explosions and used Reaper's Sound to paralyze the pirates before killing Bambina with a slash and Sound Bullet.

• Roy offered to clear Owl’s mistake from a previous mission, and Bruno thanked him before producing a map found among the Giant Sword Pirates.
• Bruno told Roy that the map appeared to record the whereabouts of a Devil Fruit.

Roy examined a treasure map said to be a Bambina family heirloom and decided to search for its Devil Fruit treasure at Twin Capes on Mount Levius. He and Bruno sailed toward the mountain, arriving near it at night as a vast shadow loomed over their ship.

• Bruno told Roy that the Giant Sword Pirates had searched for the treasure for years and that Bambina had recently recovered the map, which had been a family heirloom.
• Bruno judged the map to be at least one or two hundred years old, so Roy decided to take him to Twin Capes to investigate it.
• Roy arranged for two bloodstained ships to return to Enies Lobby while he and Bruno sailed toward Mount Levius aboard a pirate ship.
• Roy relaxed on deck and questioned Bruno about his Door-Door Fruit ability as their ship approached Whiskey Peak.
• After passing Whiskey Peak at night, Roy and Bruno's ship advanced toward Mount Levius, where a huge shadow suddenly appeared before Roy.

Roy and Bruno reached Twin Capes and used Roy’s Echo Map to locate a hidden cave on the Red Line Continent. Roy found a century-old Devil Fruit in a chest and swallowed it whole.

• Roy and Bruno approached Mount Levius by ship while Roy used Echo Map to locate Laboon and the lighthouse.

• Roy smashed open the concealed cave entrance and found gold, jewels, and a small golden chest inside.
• Roy opened the chest, found a pure white Devil Fruit, and swallowed it whole.

Roy ate the long-missing Cloud-Cloud Fruit and discovered that he could turn into mist, fly, and manipulate clouds and weather. He began to see the Logia power as the foundation for his future ambitions in the skies.

• Roy recognized the Cloud-Cloud Fruit as a dream ability and valued its potential to control the Seastone-rich clouds above Jaya Island.
• Roy swallowed the fruit whole, surprising Bruno with his eagerness.

• Roy considered how controlling clouds and weather could support his future rise and plans for a base in the sky.

Roy brought the Turkey Pirates under his command, then trained his Cloud-Cloud Fruit powers before returning with Bruno to Enies Lobby. He planned to visit Sky Island to develop his abilities and eventually claim Enel’s cloud islands and Gold City.

• Roy recruited the lucky Turkey Pirates while they gathered supplies on a deserted island.
• Roy created a massive Cloud Giant over the sea, but struggled to generate lightning and decided to seek training on Sky Island.

• Roy and the Turkey Pirates arrived at Enies Lobby, where the pirates feared the place and the Impel Down prison behind it.

Roy returned to Enies Lobby and learned that Ace had defeated a Shichibukai, triggering chaos in the Machino Sea Area. He and Spandam feared that the turmoil could expose their illegal weapons sales, and Roy reacted violently when he heard Vice Admiral Doberman was being sent to the region.

• Spandam revealed that the Marines planned to send Vice Admiral Doberman to suppress the pirates, and Roy smashed the desk in anger.

Roy and Spandam decided to eliminate the troublemakers in the Machino Sea Area before Doberman arrived to suppress the pirates and uncovered their weapons factory. Roy flew to the Krol Kingdom alone, where pirates were pillaging, while news of Ace defeating a Shichibukai spread across the world.

• Spandam panicked after learning Doberman would leave Marine Headquarters for the Machino Sea Area the next day, but Roy proposed killing everyone causing trouble before the Marines could investigate.

• Roy struck Patches with Sound Lightning, blasting away most of his feathers, then hit him with a Sonic Missile.
• Patches realized a person had created the storm and fled, believing Roy was a Logia Devil Fruit user he could not defeat.
• Roy pursued Patches through the cloud-covered sky and repeatedly attacked him with Meteor Noise.
• Patches dodged most of the falling attacks and asked Roy who he was and why he was attacking.
• Roy fired a Sonic Laser through Patches's chest, causing him to fall uncontrollably.

• Roy tormented Patches in dark clouds until the pirate begged for his life, intending to keep him as a valuable gift for the Celestial Dragons.
• Roy struck Patches with a sonic shell, caught him before he hit the sea, and threw him onto a hail-covered beach.
• Roy used his Echo Map to locate the Black Eagle Pirates’ treasure and collected what they had stored.

• After three days without an answer, Roy questioned Spandam, who admitted he did not know why the usual response from the Holy Land had been delayed.
• A fat Celestial Dragon emerged from a room stained with blood and told Carlos that the medicine and slave had pleased him.
• The Celestial Dragon ordered Carlos to keep the slave alive, and Carlos sent guards into the room after his master left.
• Carlos decided to trust Spandam to keep their deal and walked away with the goods.
• The chapter revealed that Roy and Spandam had promised Carlos half their gains in exchange for using the Celestial Dragons' authority to help their plan.

Roy sailed toward Water Seven, planning to recruit CP9 while leaving Pluton’s blueprints with Iceburg for now. He arrived near the city with Bruno and began preparing to put his plans into motion.

• Roy planned to leave Pluton’s blueprints with Iceburg until he could obtain a Glint-Glint Fruit or Memory-Memory Fruit user.
• Roy decided not to interfere with Spandam sending CP9 to Water Seven, intending to recruit the agents after the World Government abandoned them.

• Roy took Franky to Tom’s abandoned junkyard, where Franky woke and saw Iceburg.

• Roy asked Iceburg whether he wanted to resist the World Government or avenge Tom.

• Roy returned Tom’s body to Iceburg and gave him contact information, prompting Iceburg to consider whether he could avenge Tom.
