Ling Donglai, Nami, and Reiju successfully tested the Prism Core, bringing Nami closer to completing a solar weapon. After Big Mom proposed a marriage alliance with Germa and asked whether Sea Tiger wanted to marry one of her daughters, Ling Donglai refused, leaving Judge to decide how to respond to her offer.

• Big Mom's subordinates accepted her plan to seek a marriage alliance with Germa, and she sent Judge a wedding proposal.

Ling Donglai discussed bringing Germa and North Blue under Izumo while seeking Judge’s help with research into elemental transformation. He then met Trafalgar Law, who had come to apply as a scientist and offered to give up his Op-Op Fruit.

• Ling Donglai told Reiju that Germa could join Izumo while Judge focused on scientific research, and Reiju agreed to speak with her father.

• Law offered to surrender his Op-Op Fruit, shocking his Mink Tribe crew, and said that doing so would let him avoid constant Cipher Pol surveillance.

Ling Donglai tested Law’s Op-Op Fruit abilities during a spar, allowing Law to separate his body and extract his soul. Law gained insight into how his power affected the mind and soul, then stopped when he ran out of stamina.

• Ling Donglai agreed to test Law’s Devil Fruit ability, and Law created ROOM: Slaughterhouse around the room.

• An Izumo seller told the Minks that signal towers were being built in the sky to expand phone coverage across nearly all seas, though the Grand Line’s magnetic fields remained a problem.

Ling Donglai visited Nami in her laboratory, where she worried about testing the Prism Core in space, while Carina stole the Imperial World-Shocking Scripture and discovered its pages appeared blank. Reiju told Ling Donglai that Germa had agreed to join Izumo, though its move to the skies would take two or three months.

• Carina slipped away to the Vimana, found the Imperial World-Shocking Scripture, and saw that its pages contained only blank headings.

Ling Donglai, Reiju, and Nami launched Izumo’s first satellite and tested its cannon on Onigashima. The blast destroyed the island, but Kaido survived in the sea and lamented that he could not die.

• Hina proposed expanding Marine operations into space, but Miss Goldenweek and Nami mocked her ambitions and questioned the Marines’ strength.

• Reiju brought Judge, Ling Donglai, Nami, and scientists to Izumo’s laboratory to examine Vegapunk’s experimental blueprints.
• Judge said Vegapunk’s ideas, shifting projects, and limited support had prevented much of his advanced research from becoming practical technology.

Ling Donglai’s scientists continued studying technology and the relationship between lineage factors and souls as a geisha and her carefree companion infiltrated Izumo. Their attempt to investigate the rumored Imperial World-Shocking Scripture led them to Carina, who claimed she had seen Sea Tiger read it.
