Chapter Summaries

Roy used his Godspeed technique to defeat Big Drunkard and secure victory for his forces in Gilia Kingdom. After the battle, he told the King of Gilia to meet him the next day to discuss their arrangement.

• Roy dismissed the King's clumsy praise and told him to return the next day to discuss their matter, warning him against inappropriate ideas.

Roy entered the Underground Palace beneath King Gilia’s bedchamber and navigated its elaborate traps to retrieve an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. He considered which of his subordinates might be able to eat it, but decided to ask them later.

• King Gilia led Roy to the entrance beneath his bedchamber and opened the passage to the Underground Palace.
