Haku told Robin that Joy Boy had lived during the Void Century, belonged to the Ancient Kingdom, and failed to keep his promise to Fish-Man Island while trying to save his kingdom from the World Government. The Thousand Sunny surfaced in the New World and weathered extreme snow, rain, a splitting sea, and lightning before reaching calmer waters, where Marines waited for emerging pirates.

• Haku explained to Robin that Joy Boy was the first person called a pirate and had left Fish-Man Island an apology Poneglyph after failing to fulfill his promise to the mermaid princess.

Haku faced a Marine force led by Admirals Ryokugyu and Fujitora, Five Elder Nusjuro, and a Seraphim apparently made with Haku’s Lineage Factor. After sending the Straw Hat Pirates away, Haku prepared to fight the assembled enemies.

• Haku spotted the Marine warships and recognized Ryokugyu, Fujitora, Nusjuro, and a Seraphim whose Lineage Factor seemed to include his own.
• Haku told Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates to escape because they could not win against the approaching forces, and Luffy ordered Franky to take the Sunny away.

• Nusjuro recognized Haku’s mysterious spiritual power and showed greed for it.

Haku fought Nusjuro, Ryokugyu, Fujitora, and a Seraphim as they coordinated their attacks against him. He countered with ice and lightning dragons, but the battle remained unresolved as the clash sent the other three enemies flying and left Haku closing in on Fujitora.

• Haku froze the nearby sea and the Marine warships, then attacked Nusjuro with Hyōrinmaru and trapped him in ice.
• Fujitora warned the Marines to abandon their ships, while the Seraphim, Ryokugyu, and Nusjuro launched a coordinated assault on Haku.
• Haku escaped their combined attacks with his teleportation ability, but Fujitora's gravitational field later stalled him and left him nearly cut in half by Nusjuro.
• Haku swallowed the Seraphim in a thunder dragon and rushed toward Fujitora, who sent a gravity-powered meteorite at him.
• Haku summoned ice and thunder dragons to smash the meteorite, and the resulting shockwave sent Nusjuro, Ryokugyu, and the Seraphim flying as Haku advanced on Fujitora.

Haku fought Fujitora, Nusjuro, and Ryokugyu until they restrained him so S-Xebec could plunder his abilities. Haku broke free before the plunder was complete and prepared to reveal his true strength.

• Haku evaded Fujitora and Nusjuro, then wounded Ryokugyu with Hyōrinmaru.

• Haku unleashed intense cold that froze S-Xebec’s hands and weakened the vines and gravity field.
• Haku shattered his restraints, evaded Nusjuro’s slash and Fujitora’s gravity, and declared that he would show them his true strength.

S-Xebec broke free from the Authority Chip after absorbing Haku's energy, then turned his attention to Haku’s black energy as the battle intensified. The Straw Hat Pirates remained near the frozen continent, worried about Haku as his fight’s effects spread.

At New Marineford, Garp, Sengoku, Tsuru, and Momousagi discussed the Marines’ campaign against Haku and the damage Akainu’s decisions had caused. As Haku’s battle sent darkness and freezing cold as far as the training base, Garp suspected Haku was deliberately demonstrating his power and said Akainu had more reason to worry.

• Tsuru visited Garp and Sengoku with Momousagi, and Garp scolded distracted recruits before asking whether Akainu had sent Tsuru to keep him from intervening.

• Garp ordered the recruits inside and suggested Haku was deliberately showing his reach, then said Akainu was the one who should be worried.

Haku fought Saint Nusjuro, Fujitora, Ryokugyu, and S-Xebec while the Five Elders prepared a hidden attack. After the warships’ sonic weapons injured him and blocked teleportation, Saint Saturn activated an unknown device above Haku.

• Haku opened a door through the void to evade the energy attack, though the shockwave destroyed his left hand before it regenerated.

• Nusjuro tried to persuade Haku to join the Celestial Dragons while stalling for Saint Saturn to prepare a teleportation circle, but Haku saw through his plan.
• Haku kicked Nusjuro in the chest and tried to disrupt his teleportation, but Fujitora’s gravity interrupted him and Nusjuro was teleported away.
• Haku threw Hyōrinmaru at Nusjuro, then retrieved it and disappeared; Fujitora received an order from Marshal Akainu to return to New Marineford.

• Vegapunk and his clones found Saint Saturn and Nusjuro encased in ice and confirmed that both were still alive.
