Chapter Summaries

Yota and his companions left the island aboard their new ship, the Azure Dragon, after deciding to leave the freed slaves there. Guided by Violet, they headed toward the Florian Triangle while Yota worked on his Devil Fruit fusion plan.

• Yota prepared to leave the freed slaves on the island, and Violet reassured Kyros that they could defend themselves.
• Yota named the newly built ship the Azure Dragon, and the group set sail.
• Violet spotted a pirate ship near the Florian Triangle and said the shadowy sea seemed to be chasing it.
• Yota ordered Page One to steer toward the Florian Triangle and went to the cabin to work on fusing Devil Fruits.
• Yota estimated that it would take another year or two before he could fuse his Devil Fruits and awaken his Munch-Munch Fruit and Dark-Dark Fruit.

Yota and the Azure Dragon entered the Florian Triangle and encountered Brook, a skeleton revived by the Revive-Revive Fruit. After the crew mistook Brook for a monster and attacked him, Yota stopped them and learned how Brook had become a skeleton.

• An unnamed pirate crew was swallowed by the Florian Triangle’s fog as the Azure Dragon approached.
• Yota dismissed Charlotte Pudding’s fears and ordered the crew into the Florian Triangle to find Gecko Moria’s Thriller Bark.

• Yota stopped Ulti from crushing Brook and learned that Brook had revived through the Revive-Revive Fruit but found his body only after it had become a skeleton.

Yota and his crew encountered Brook aboard the Azure Dragon and agreed to help him reclaim his shadow from Gecko Moria. They boarded Moria’s Giant Ghost Ship, where the emerging zombies retreated after Yota accidentally knocked one’s head off.

• Brook introduced himself and explained that Gecko Moria had stolen his shadow, leaving him unable to face sunlight.

• At a graveyard, Yota accidentally knocked a zombie’s head off, and the zombie reattached it before retreating into its grave and covering itself with dirt.

Yota and his companions fought off the zombies and ghosts on Gecko Moria’s ship, then captured the invisible man controlling them. Violet took charge of punishing him after Yota recovered the Clear-Clear Fruit.

• Yota used Yellow Springs Swamp to bury the zombies that had crawled from the graves.
• Ulti struck one of Perona’s ghosts, but its body dissolved after her Haki-coated fist damaged it.

• The invisible man tried to reclaim the fruit, but Yota struck him down, and Violet grabbed him.
• Violet pulled out a dagger and made the captured man scream while Ulti and Pudding argued over how to punish him.

Yota's group entered Moria's castle to find Perona, whose Hollow attacks and spirit form proved dangerous. Charlotte Pudding struck Perona's exposed spirit with Sharingan genjutsu, apparently leaving her unconscious and badly injured.

• Violet's slash frightened Yota, Page One, Kyros, Ulti, and Charlotte Pudding, and Yota led the group toward Moria's castle to capture Perona.
• Perona learned that enemies had arrived, hid her body in a secret room, and sent her spirit form out to confront them.
• Ulti attacked Perona's Hollows and then her spirit form, but the physical blows passed through Perona and destroyed the wall behind her.
• Violet recognized that Perona's spirit form was vulnerable to mental attacks, and Charlotte Pudding used Sharingan genjutsu to make it disappear in a burst of green smoke.
• Yota concluded that Perona's exposed spirit had suffered severe damage and that she had probably fallen unconscious.

Yota extracted Perona’s Hollow-Hollow Fruit and planned to let Charlotte Pudding use it to strengthen her spiritual power before facing Gecko Moria. Perona fainted after learning who Yota was, while Yota told Pudding she would need to handle Moria herself unless she could not manage him.

• Violet found Perona unconscious in a hidden room, and Yota used Yin Release Chakra to help her recover.
• Yota extracted Perona’s Hollow-Hollow Fruit and offered it to Pudding so she could practice the Spirit Transformation Technique.
• Perona recognized Yota as the Plunderer and begged to be released after realizing her Devil Fruit was gone.
• Ulti frightened Perona, and Pudding’s blunt comment about killing her made Perona faint again.
• Yota told Pudding to examine Perona’s memories and practice with the Hollow-Hollow Fruit before their fight with Moria.

Yota reassured Ulti and Page One that Gecko Moria had grown far weaker since his battle with Kaido, showing them a recent photograph of him. He then gave Charlotte Pudding the Hollow-Hollow Fruit, and she used the Spirit Transformation Technique before turning her attention to Ulti.

• Yota extracted Pudding's Devil Fruit and gave her the Hollow-Hollow Fruit, which she ate.
• Pudding used the Spirit Transformation Technique and frightened Ulti by acting as if she would take control of her body.

Ulti and the others reached Gecko Moria’s domain, where Charlotte Pudding’s awakened abilities had made her stronger than Ulti. Moria emerged and revealed that he had prepared Ryuma and a powerful zombie army to fight Kaido’s forces.

• Ulti complained to Page One while Charlotte Pudding taunted her, and Ulti avoided a direct fight after Pudding awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and gained Susanoo.
• Violet reported that Gecko Moria was still asleep, then spotted Hogback waking him as the group fought off more zombies.
• Gecko Moria arrived, mistook Ulti and the others for Kaido’s forces sent to eliminate him, and accused Kaido of targeting him.
• Moria summoned his strongest zombies, including Ryuma wielding the black blade Shusui, and declared that he had saved them to fight Kaido.

Gecko Moria unleashed his zombies and shadow powers against Yota’s group, but Ryuma and Oars were quickly defeated, and Moria’s own stamina began to fail against Ulti and Page One. Ulti landed a decisive headbutt, leaving Moria dazed as the pair’s attacks continued.

• Kyros cut Ryuma in half, shocking Gecko Moria, who mistook him for one of Kaido’s powerful subordinates.

• Moria used several shadow techniques to hold off Ulti and Page One, but he began tiring while they kept fighting fiercely.
• Ulti struck Moria with an Ulti Headbutt, dazing him as more attacks rained down.

• Moria pinned Ulti and battered her and Page One when Page One rushed in to save her.
• Charlotte Pudding used Memory Deletion to daze Moria and pull Ulti and Page One out of danger.
• Pudding erased Moria’s memories again, causing him to vomit out the rest of his shadows.
• Pudding’s Susanoo struck Moria across the face and knocked him unconscious.

Yota praised Charlotte Pudding’s new Mangekyo abilities and suggested her third Eye Technique needed another Devil Fruit. Pudding chose the Vampire Fruit over the Soul-Soul Fruit, and Yota removed her Memory Fruit so she could eat it.

• Yota rebuked Ulti for her loss to Moria and reassured Page One that the failure was mostly Ulti’s fault.
• Pudding demonstrated Soul Extraction, which briefly forced Moria’s soul out of his body, and explained its limits alongside Memory Deletion.
• Pudding said her third eye seemed to be developing another technique but lacked a condition, and Yota suggested it needed a Devil Fruit.
• Yota presented the Soul-Soul Fruit and the Vampire Fruit, and Pudding chose the Vampire Fruit for its potential to preserve youth.
• Yota extracted the Memory Fruit from Pudding, and she took a bite of the Vampire Fruit.

Yota examined Charlotte Pudding’s Vampire Fruit ability after converting it into Chakra, then stayed on Gecko Moria’s ship after Moria’s defeat. The chapter ended with Yota’s group remaining on the island while he worried about a possible World Government attack.

• Yota explained that Pudding’s absorbed vital essence became Yang Release Chakra, which restored her eye power but did not grant eternal youth, and promised she could use the Vampire Fruit if his experiment succeeded.
• After Yota defeated Gecko Moria and took his Shadow Fruit, the stolen shadows returned to their owners, who celebrated with a banquet while Moria, Perona, and Absalom were imprisoned.
• Yota exchanged knowledge with the doctor Hogback, while Charlotte Pudding reunited with her sister Charlotte Lola, who proposed to Yota, Kyros, and Brook and was rejected.
• The banquet ended, the visiting pirates departed, and Yota’s group stayed on the island as Yota considered the danger of the World Government sending powerful fighters after him.

Yota continued his Devil Fruit fusion experiments while Gecko Moria rapidly regained his strength and trained with Ulti, Page One, and Kyros. A terrifying vortex filled with teeth appeared above the Giant Ghost Ship, and Moria and the others suspected Yota’s Devil Fruits were awakening.

• Gecko Moria defeated Ulti, Page One, and Kyros in a sparring match after regaining much of his former strength.
• Moria explained that he still had not reached his peak and was weaker without the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
• Yota continued focusing on fusing Devil Fruits, hoping to awaken the Munch-Munch Fruit and Dark-Dark Fruit.
• A huge black hole filled with pale teeth appeared in the sky and began pulling in the clouds and mist around the Giant Ghost Ship.
• Moria identified the phenomenon as a possible Logia-type awakening, and Kyros suggested that Yota’s multiple Devil Fruits might be awakening together.

Yota successfully awakened his Devil Fruit and fused Charlotte Pudding’s Memory Fruit with the Shadow Bat Vampire Fruit, creating a powerful Mythical Zoan. After Charlotte Pudding tested it by defeating Ulti, Yota explained that useful Devil Fruit fusions required compatible abilities.

• Yota used his awakened ability to fuse Charlotte Pudding’s Memory Fruit with the Shadow Bat Vampire Fruit.
• Charlotte Pudding ate the fused Fruit and transformed into red and black bats before returning to normal.
• Charlotte Pudding sparred with Ulti and overwhelmed her using her new bat, shadow, vampire, and mental abilities.
• Gecko Moria and the others considered seeking Yota’s help to obtain fused Devil Fruits.
• Yota told them that successful fusions required Devil Fruits with related abilities, such as Dragon-Dragon and Lizard-Lizard Fruits for Ulti and Page One.

Yota offered his crew the chance to hunt Devil Fruit users and use his modification ability to combine or alter their powers. After restoring Brook’s flesh and bringing him back to life, Yota focused on the Revive-Revive Fruit’s ability to connect with the underworld and considered using it to make the Impure World Reincarnation work.

• Yota told Ulti she could capture pirate or hostile Marine Devil Fruit users and bring them back, while Kyros declined to hunt for a fruit.
• Yota ignored Gecko Moria, Perona, and the others, then asked Brook if he wanted his body restored.
• Yota used his modification ability to grow Brook a new body, and Brook wept with joy at being alive again.
• Yota examined Brook’s Revive-Revive Fruit and realized its connection to the underworld might let him use the Impure World Reincarnation in the Pirate World.

Yota ate the Soul-Soul Fruit and used it with Impure World Reincarnation to bring Ryuma the Dragon-Slaying Swordsman back in a White Zetsu body. Ryuma retained most of his Haki and swordsmanship, but his weakened body and slow recovery limited his strength.

• Yota reflected on the dangers of traveling to powerful worlds and ate the Soul-Soul Fruit.
• Yota used a White Zetsu grown from a spore as an empty vessel for Impure World Reincarnation.
• Yota summoned Ryuma the Dragon-Slaying Swordsman, who awoke confused but accepted that he had died.
• Ryuma told Yota that his body had about half its former strength, though he retained most of his Haki and swordsmanship.
• Yota tested Ryuma’s Impure World body and found its recovery was slow and its physical toughness weak without Haki.

Yota fused the Azure Dragon Fruit and the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit, becoming a powerful Eight-Headed Dragon. After Ryuma recalled that an Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit user had survived decapitation, Yota realized the fruit might let Ryuma survive the release of Impure World Reincarnation and lent him the fruit to test the idea.

• Yota fused the Azure Dragon Fruit with the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit and ate the resulting Devil Fruit.
• Yota transformed into an enormous Eight-Headed Dragon and demonstrated its flames, lightning, and violent winds to Ryuma, Charlotte Pudding, Violet, and the others.
• Ryuma recalled that an Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit user had revived after Ryuma cut off his head.

• Yota lent the Eight-Headed Serpent Fruit to Ryuma, who ate it.

Yota restored Ryuma to life, and Ryuma departed to challenge swordsmen and visit his descendants. Brook also left to search for Laboon, while Yota watched both set out from the Azure Dragon.

• Brook told Yota he planned to return to Reverse Mountain to find Laboon, then cut the mooring rope and departed.

After leaving Thriller Bark, Yota planned to grow stronger before confronting the World Government and went to Jaya Island to find a route to Sky Island and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. The chapter ended with Pudding bringing a captured pirate and Devil Fruit user to Yota.
