Crocodile’s identity as Vegapunk’s controlled avatar was exposed to Kisame, while Vegapunk planned to strengthen the Straw Hat pirates and exploit the spread of Chakra against the World Government. As revolts spread and the World Government held back, its leaders discussed Vegapunk’s survival and their failure to find his base.

• The Five Elders admitted that Vegapunk had survived and condemned their agents for failing to discover his base or the machines he had placed beneath the Red Line.

The Five Elders decided to use degraded Pacifista technology to create obedient clones and chose Whitebeard as their source, launching a surprise attack that killed him and nearly destroyed his crew. Vegapunk learned of the plan from Stussy and questioned whether the World Government could truly control its clones.

• The Five Elders weighed the Revolutionary Army’s growing strength and chose not to risk using Imu or revealing the God's Knights.
• The Five Elders approved a Pacifista Clone Project that could produce over a thousand short-lived, obedient fighters.
• The Five Elders chose Whitebeard as their clone source because his younger self had been exceptionally powerful.
• The World Government and Marines ambushed the Whitebeard Pirates, killed Whitebeard, and captured his corpse; Marco and Ace escaped.
• Stussy brought Vegapunk intelligence about the plan, and Vegapunk doubted the World Government could make its clones obedient.

Vegapunk and Stussy sabotaged the World Government’s Whitebeard Clones, triggering a devastating riot in Mary Geoise before the God's Knights scattered the survivors across the sea. One clone reached Wano Country, where Ace and Marco captured it and asked Yamato to bring Vegapunk to them; Vegapunk arrived but questioned what Ace expected him to do.

• Vegapunk revealed that he had planted control backdoors in the World Government’s clone and Electronic Brain technology, and gave Stussy a vial of Nano-Electronic Virus to release in Mary Geoise.
• Stussy planted the virus in Mary Geoise, and Vegapunk activated it when Whitebeard Clone production was nearly complete, causing more than a thousand clones to rampage.
• The God's Knights drove the clones away from Mary Geoise, scattering them across the sea, and nearly a hundred appeared in various places, including Wano Country.
• After the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed, Ace and Marco fled to Wano Country to escape the World Government and hostile pirates.
• Ace and Marco captured a Whitebeard Clone that had been attacking Wano Country, and Ace asked Yamato to contact Vegapunk.
• Yamato brought Vegapunk to the Flower Capital, where he asked why Ace had summoned him while Kozuki Hiyori and Kozuki Toki attended to him.

Vegapunk explained how to restore Whitebeard’s clone and gave Yamato medicine to repair its brain, while he and Nico Robin discussed the Revolutionary Army’s rapid expansion and considered bringing Wano Country into its ranks. Kozuki Hiyori agreed to the plan, which could bring Ace and Marco to Wano Country and strengthen the fight against the World Government.

• Vegapunk told Yamato that Whitebeard’s clone’s intelligence could be restored and gave her Yang Release Chakra extract to regenerate its missing brain tissue.
• Kozuki Hiyori admitted she had encouraged Yamato to seek Vegapunk’s help because she wanted Ace and Marco to join Wano Country, and Vegapunk told her to ask him directly in the future.
• Robin reported that uprisings had spread to nearly forty countries, including Alabasta, and that the Revolutionary Army’s forces had grown to between one and two million.
• Vegapunk suspected that Dragon had informants or contacts among the slaves in Mary Geoise and suggested that Wano Country join the Revolutionary Army.
• Robin agreed to contact Dragon, and Kozuki Hiyori welcomed the proposal because she viewed the World Government as a potential enemy and wanted to recruit Ace and Marco.

• Rayleigh warned Dragon that the World Government might deploy the God's Knights, and Dragon admitted he did not know how powerful they were.
• Vegapunk revealed that he had arranged for Hancock to bring Rayleigh aboard, and Rayleigh recognized him despite his youthful appearance.

Vegapunk and the Revolutionary Army prepared to confront the World Government as Rayleigh revealed clues about Final Island and the coming upheaval. After the Ninja World fighters defeated God's Knights, the group reached Mary Geoise and found it had vanished, leaving Garp, Sengoku, and Aokiji stunned.

• Rayleigh agreed that Vegapunk had given Dragon the confidence to challenge the World Government, though he doubted the Revolutionary Army could defeat God's Knights.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki and the ninjas overwhelmed God's Knights, and Hancock arrived to turn the defeated fighters into Stone Statues.
• Rayleigh told Vegapunk that Final Island was an enormous Poneglyph and that Roger had warned of a world-changing upheaval linked to the World Government within a little over twenty years.
• Hancock returned with the Stone Statues of God's Knights, and Vegapunk planned to extract their Devil Fruit abilities after returning to Dream Star.
• Dragon, Vegapunk, Rayleigh, and the Revolutionary Army reached Mary Geoise and found it gone; Garp, Sengoku, and Aokiji arrived and learned that the World Government had apparently fled.

Vegapunk suspected the vanished World Government was waiting for a chance to return, while its leaders were secretly trapped in Mary Geoise. The Five Elders sent Braun, the last surviving God's Knight, to curse Vegapunk, but Braun died before they learned whether the curse had worked.

• Vegapunk told Nico Robin and his subordinates that the World Government might be waiting for a great upheaval, and he planned to visit the Ninja World while the Chakra Illusion Network developed.
• Vegapunk said the Straw Hat Pirates might be the only ones able to uncover the truth at Final Island, since he could not locate it even after gathering the four Red Poneglyphs.
• Imu learned that Mary Geoise was trapped in an ethereal space and ordered the Five Elders to carry out their plan against Vegapunk.
• The Five Elders went to Braun, the last surviving God's Knight, and gave him Vegapunk's hair so he could activate his Curse Fruit ability.
• Braun used the curse on Vegapunk but rapidly aged and died, leaving the Five Elders unsure whether Vegapunk had been killed or merely harmed.
