• Yota celebrated his birthday with Ace and Yamato while suspecting Kaido had a hidden plan for the coming battle.
• Three days later, Yota recognized the Big Mom Pirates’ singing Homies among the Beasts Pirates’ fleet, and Marco noted that Charlotte Linlin was absent while Katakuri appeared to lead them.

• Whitebeard unleashed a tsunami at the enemy fleet, and Kaido transformed into a dragon to block it with a waterspout.
• Whitebeard and Kaido clashed with Conqueror’s Haki, shaking the ocean and splitting the sky, while Whitebeard ordered his crew away and Marco led them off the ship.

Yota combined forces with nine Water Clones to unleash a colossal, boiling tsunami against the Big Mom and Beasts Pirates. As the waves crashed toward their fleets, the Big Mom Pirates mounted a defense while the Beasts Pirates scrambled to escape or slow the impact.

• Yota struck Jack with Thousand Years of Death, sending him screaming into the sea.

After finding the Vampire Fruit in the Pirate World, Yota traveled to the Naruto World to seek medical knowledge and investigate Konoha, Orochimaru, and Akatsuki. He began working as a bounty hunter ninja to test the Dark-Dark Fruit, and ended the chapter draining a rogue ninja’s chakra and life force.

• Yota found and stored the Vampire Fruit in a cave near Suiko Town, then decided his limited medical knowledge was holding back his body’s growth.

• Yota became a bounty hunter ninja known as the Black Shadow Ninja to test whether the Dark-Dark Fruit could affect chakra.
• The Black Shadow Ninja absorbed a group of fleeing rogues’ attacks, then seized one ninja and drained his chakra, blood, spirit, and strength.

• Yota withdrew Dark Hole, exhausted from absorbing the debris and buildings.

At his underground base, he inventoried his stolen treasures and decided to modify his body using Hashirama Senju’s cells and the Mangekyo Sharingan.

• Yota fought off Hiruzen Sarutobi and drained Fugaku Uchiha’s Susanoo until it collapsed, then captured Fugaku in the Dark Space.
