• Whitebeard praised Ace, Yamato, and Yota for defeating Kaido, and Ace and Yamato credited Yota with overwhelming him.

• The lookout spotted Kaido approaching, and the crew noticed the azure dragon was missing Kaido’s horns, mane, and chest scars.
• Whitebeard calmed the commanders as the dragon landed on the Moby Dick, shrank, and revealed Yota.

Yota explained his transformation and sudden power growth to the Whitebeard Pirates as racial abilities, then told Teach and Whitebeard that he was an alien from another planet. The chapter left Whitebeard reflecting on how much stronger life in the universe might be.

• Yota told the Whitebeard Pirates that reaching adulthood had awakened his full form and that his race could wield multiple Devil Fruit powers.
• Whitebeard stopped Teach's questions and called for a feast to celebrate Yota's defeat of Kaido.

• Yota told Teach that an electronic chip in his brain had revealed his alien origins, leaving Teach wondering whether his own unusual body came from alien ancestry.
• Yota told Whitebeard that aliens were generally stronger than the Four Emperors, and Whitebeard lamented that he had not learned about the universe sooner.

Yota told Whitebeard he planned to leave the Whitebeard Pirates and explore the seas, so Whitebeard challenged him to prove he could travel freely. Their spar showed that Yota’s strength and physique rivaled Whitebeard’s, but he lacked Conqueror’s Haki.

• Yota decided to leave the Whitebeard Pirates and explore elsewhere, and Whitebeard agreed that he was ready to seek adventure.

• Whitebeard struck Yota with a blow wrapped in Conqueror’s Haki, revealing the Haki Yota still lacked.

Yota revealed his Dark-Dark Fruit and other powers as he clashed with Whitebeard, then unleashed his full strength and sent Whitebeard flying into the sea. After rescuing him, Yota healed Whitebeard’s injuries and restored some of his fading vitality.

• Yota transformed into a half-dragon and used the Dark-Dark Fruit to nullify Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit attack, matching Whitebeard’s Haki before they both stepped back.

• Yota used Secret Technique - Cell Expulsion to heal Whitebeard and restore some of his vitality.

After testing Yota’s strength, Whitebeard accepted that his era was ending, while Ace and Yamato stayed behind rather than travel with Yota. Yota set out again with Queen, Page One, and Ulti, directing them toward Punk Hazard to retrieve something.

• Thatch found a sack of Devil Fruits that Yota had left aboard Whitebeard’s ship, including Ancient Zoans and ordinary Zoans.
• Yota found Queen, Page One, and Ulti waiting with a ship at their arranged meeting place.
• Yota asked Page One to command the ship and set their course for Punk Hazard to pick up some things.

Yota’s group stopped at Dressrosa on the way to Punk Hazard, while Doflamingo worried over Kaido’s demands for improved artificial Devil Fruits. When Doflamingo learned Queen had arrived, he feared Kaido was about to force another confrontation.

• Doflamingo had beaten Caesar after Caesar said he needed a sample of a millet dumpling to research the problem.
• Gladius warned Doflamingo that Queen the Plague had arrived in Dressrosa, and Doflamingo feared Kaido was demanding the goods or preparing for war.

Doflamingo learned that Yota was in Dressrosa and mistakenly believed Queen had come to capture him. He proposed turning Yota into a toy to erase everyone’s memory of him, while Queen privately saw Doflamingo’s plan as a chance to earn favor with his new crew.

• Violet told Doflamingo that Yota, a Whitebeard Pirates member, was in Dressrosa.
• Doflamingo called Queen and wrongly concluded that he had come to capture Yota.

• Doflamingo proposed having Sugar turn Yota into a toy so everyone would forget him.
• Doflamingo assured Queen that Sugar’s Hobby-Hobby Fruit could not be undone once it worked.

Yota left the arena and confronted Doflamingo, who had come to capture him for the Beasts Pirates. After Doflamingo’s strings failed to restrain him, Pica buried Yota deep underground, but Yota remained unharmed and prepared to fight back.

• Yota decided to leave the arena and head for the Flower Field, sensing that powerful pursuers and watching toys were following him.
• Doflamingo descended before Yota and revealed that he had come to capture him, then tried to control him with strings.
• Yota resisted Doflamingo’s threads and tugged him forward, forcing Doflamingo to sever them and brace himself with more strings.
• Doflamingo ordered Pica to use the Stone-Stone Fruit to swallow Yota and crush him deep underground.
• After Pica exhausted his strength burying him, Yota calmly began to exert himself and announced that it was his turn.

Yota used his overwhelming power to defeat Doflamingo and the Donquixote Family, killing Pica and absorbing several officers into Dark Space. After the battle, he questioned the quality of the family’s Devil Fruits and wondered where its absent members were.

• Doflamingo sensed Yota’s attack and pulled his subordinates into the sky before Yota’s Almighty Push blasted Pica apart underground.
• Yota opened the Eight Gates and swiftly defeated Jora, Lao G, Gladius, and Trebol, absorbing or destroying them with his abilities.

• Yota combined the Dark-Dark Fruit’s suction with Universal Pull and absorbed Doflamingo into Dark Space.
• Yota’s clones returned with other Donquixote Family officers, whom he absorbed, and he wondered why the family had so few powerful Devil Fruits.

Violet tried to betray the Donquixote Family by sending Yota information about Sugar, whose Hobby-Hobby Fruit power threatened Dressrosa’s people and the Riku family’s name. Monet caught Violet before she could make contact, and Sugar prepared to interrogate her.

• Violet restrained her urge to attack Sugar while Monet guarded her, then decided to use Sugar’s location to help bring down the Donquixote Family.
• Violet went to the restroom and tried to use her Glint-Glint Fruit to locate a Den Den Mushi near Yota, but found none because Yota had taken the family’s members and their Den Den Mushi into Dark Space.
• Violet left the restroom to contact Yota, but Monet froze her limbs and demanded to know Young Master’s situation.
• Sugar arrived and told Monet to hand Violet over to her, leaving Violet terrified of what Sugar would do.

Sugar threatened Violet to force her to reveal information, while Monet and Sugar discussed how to rescue the captured Doflamingo and Donquixote Family members. Yota decided to keep Doflamingo’s status and resources useful to him, planning to subdue the family with Kotoamatsukami.

• Sugar threatened to turn Violet into a toy and make her kill King Riku, so Violet broke down and agreed to talk.
• Monet learned that Yota, Ace, and Yamato had defeated Kaido and the Beasts Pirates, and that Queen had surrendered.
• Monet and Sugar realized the Donquixote Family’s remaining officers could not rescue Doflamingo, and Monet urged Sugar to use her Hobby-Hobby Fruit.
• Monet warned Sugar that underground forces would target her if the Donquixote Family fell, leaving her with no choice but to try to rescue Doflamingo.
• Yota chose to preserve Doflamingo’s underground status and resources rather than take his Devil Fruit, and planned to subdue the family with Kotoamatsukami.

Yota failed to keep Doflamingo under Kotoamatsukami’s control, so he used Mind Dive to turn him into a vegetable and installed a Red Queen subprogram in his body. After modifying Red Queen Doflamingo and taking control of the Donquixote Family, Yota returned to Dressrosa and found Sugar’s toys watching him.

• Doflamingo’s Conqueror’s Haki began breaking through Yota’s Kotoamatsukami, so Yota abandoned the attempt to control him.
• Yota used Mind Dive to search Doflamingo’s memories and leave him brain-dead but alive, then implanted an Electronic Chip containing Red Queen into his brain.
• Red Queen took over Doflamingo’s body and retained his Devil Fruit abilities, but lost most of his Haki.
• Yota modified Red Queen Doflamingo and brought the Donquixote Family under his control, apart from two subordinates he had killed.
• Yota returned to Dressrosa and noticed little toys secretly watching him, revealing that Sugar had come to him.

Yota saw through Sugar’s staged kidnapping attempt to lure him toward a supposed Doflamingo treasure vault. He captured and brainwashed Sugar, while Monet’s call for help had already set the Marines and the family’s Shichibukai status in motion as a fallback.

• Yota went to investigate cries on Lovers Avenue and found Sugar apparently held captive by a group of pirates demanding the location of Doflamingo’s treasure vault.
• Yota recognized Sugar as the Hobby-Hobby Fruit user and realized the pirates were acting out a setup aimed at him.
• Sugar turned the pirates into two enormous nutcracker dolls and tried to escape while Yota smashed through the dolls and blocked her path.
• Yota used Kotoamatsukami to control Sugar, who revealed the details of her plan to launch a sneak attack or surrender if it failed.
• Monet had already alerted Vergo, and the Doflamingo Pirates planned to use their Shichibukai status and the Marines as a last resort.
