Uncle Witt told Luo Han and Cole how he, Vinson Carter, and Kevin Kate left Ring Tree Island and were separated by a storm, then reunited years later while pursuing a Devil Fruit. At the Giant Village, the three old friends agreed to escape the fighting and return home, and Witt began describing their planned retreat.

• Uncle Witt recalled how he, Vinson Carter, and Kevin Kate discovered the outside world, ate Scale Fruits, and set sail from Ring Tree Island at eighteen.
• A storm separated the three friends; Uncle Witt joined the Marines, while Vinson Carter joined a pirate crew and rose to become its chief combat captain.
• Uncle Witt and Vinson Carter reunited as enemies during a Marine operation, then kept in contact and decided to return home after learning about a valuable Devil Fruit at the Giant Village.
• At the Giant Village, a giant seized the Devil Fruit after killing the World Government spy, and a three-way battle erupted among the giants, Marines, and pirates.
• Uncle Witt and Vinson Carter told Kevin Kate they wanted to leave, and the three arranged to slip away while the giants held back the pirates and Witt ordered the Marines to retreat.

Uncle Witt told Luo Han and Cole how their parents escaped the World Government’s pursuit and returned to Ring Tree Island, then explained the Devil Fruits he had kept. Cole ate the Zoan Devil Fruit, and Luo Han received the Scale Fruit as Cole began radiating a savage aura.

• Uncle Witt recounted how the World Government pursued Luo Han’s parents and their companion, how a storm carried them back to Ring Tree Island, and how the parents died after Luo Han was born.
• Uncle Witt explained that he had kept two Devil Fruits, one Zoan and one Paramecia, and warned Luo Han and Cole that Devil Fruit users became powerless in seawater.
• Uncle Witt gave the Zoan Devil Fruit to Cole because of his exceptional physical talent and gave the Paramecia Devil Fruit to Luo Han because he was suited to developing it.
• Cole swallowed the Zoan Devil Fruit, recoiled at its awful taste, and began emitting a savage beast-like aura.
• Uncle Witt handed Luo Han a Scale Fruit and explained that Uncle Kate had only been joking when he previously claimed it was unavailable.

Cole transformed into a gigantic flying fish after eating the Scale Fruit, then returned to normal and began training with Uncle Witt. During morning exercises, Luo Han felt his body growing stronger but became dangerously thin, and Brother Rhine blamed the Scale Fruit’s energy consumption even as Luo Han remained convinced his unusual sensation was real.

• Uncle Witt instructed Cole to imagine his original form, and Cole shrank back from the enormous fish before agreeing to train with his father each afternoon.
• Luo Han and Cole watched the stars, then Luo Han reflected on his parents, the harshness of the World of Pirates, and whether to develop his Devil Fruit abilities alongside his body.
• The next morning, Cole arrived at training much taller and still ravenous, while Luo Han joined the island children for their usual exercises at Ninth Square.
• During the three-hour practice, Luo Han felt a current nourish his body and became absorbed in sensing himself grow stronger.
• Brother Rhine stopped Luo Han from training longer and pointed out that he had become severely thin.
• Brother Rhine explained that the Scale Fruit consumed the body's energy reserves when overused, but Luo Han insisted that his sensation of a current was real.

Luo Han and Cole went to the first-level plaza, where Uncle Witt introduced them to Rainbow Light Fish and explained how the fish supported the Scale Fruit’s transformation and the island’s residents. Luo Han learned how the Divine Tree, fish, and islanders depended on one another, then prepared to eat the fish raw.

• Cole offered to give Luo Han half his meat so Luo Han would stop looking skinny, but Luo Han declined.
• Luo Han returned home, avoided worrying Grandma Mo, and later followed Cole and Uncle Witt down to the first-level plaza.
• Luo Han saw rainbow-colored creatures swimming in the lake, and Uncle Witt and the other islanders returned with Rainbow Light Fish.
• Uncle Witt told Luo Han and Cole to eat Rainbow Light Fish daily until their Scale Fruit transformations were complete, explaining that the fish concentrated energy from moss on the Divine Tree’s roots.
• Uncle Witt explained that injured residents guided the fish to areas where they should eat moss rather than the Divine Tree’s bark, and that Devil Fruit users received extra fish.
• Uncle Witt handed Luo Han and Cole cut Rainbow Light Fish and said they had to eat it raw to absorb its energy.

Luo Han and Cole ate Rainbow Light Fish and underwent Uncle Witt’s brutal combat training, which exposed Luo Han’s poor physical talent compared with Cole’s. Afterward, Luo Han decided to focus on developing the Mind Fruit’s power and began devising a way to manifest Psychokinesis.

• Luo Han and Cole ate raw Rainbow Light Fish before Uncle Witt called them to the square for special training.
• Uncle Witt told them to attack him, easily threw Luo Han and Cole aside, and urged Luo Han to fight seriously for the Devil Fruit his parents had sacrificed their lives for.
• Cole unleashed his enhanced strength and speed, while Luo Han repeatedly fell to Uncle Witt’s attacks until training ended at night.
• Luo Han returned home injured, ate dinner with Grandma Mo, and later told Cole that he would focus on developing his Devil Fruit power.
• Luo Han reflected on his weak physical talent and reasoned that the Mind Fruit could manifest imagined abilities, then began planning how to develop Psychokinesis.

Luo Han investigated how to develop psychokinesis by using the Mind Fruit and Observation Haki to perceive objects, while carefully controlling the Scale Fruit’s transformation of his body. The chapter ended with him practicing shape perception with two wooden sticks after Uncle Witt told him to develop his Fruit power on his own.

• Luo Han meditated and then trained with the Scale Fruit, slowing its transformation so he would not become dangerously depleted again.
• Luo Han told Brother Rhine that his body had reached its limit and left the plaza early.
• Luo Han studied two wooden sticks and reasoned that perceiving an object’s shape might help him manifest thought as psychokinesis.
• Luo Han prepared lunch for Grandma Mo, then joined Cole at the plaza for afternoon training.
• Uncle Witt told Luo Han to develop his Fruit power on the side because no one on the island could help him.
• Luo Han used Observation Haki and the Mind Fruit to practice sensing the shapes of the two wooden sticks.

Luo Han struggled to sense the Wooden Sticks with his Mind Fruit, but Cole’s powerful new technique gave him a practical way to study the force beyond the body. He arranged to observe Cole’s training and began developing two forms of Mind Manifestation.

• Luo Han spent ten days trying without success to perceive the Wooden Sticks while Cole grew stronger sparring with Uncle Witt.
• Cole unleashed a powerful strike that sent an invisible shockwave through Uncle Witt and into the Divine Tree.
• Luo Han realized Cole’s technique might help him sense the fundamental particle behind thought-force.
• Luo Han asked Cole to demonstrate the technique after training and resting each day, and Cole agreed.
• Luo Han began training two forms of Mind Manifestation using the two methods.

Three years later, Cole completed his special training with Uncle Witt after mastering the Six Powers, while Luo Han continued struggling to develop his Devil Fruit ability. Luo Han kept practicing with Cole and believed he was close to a breakthrough.

• Three years passed on Ring Tree Island, and Cole finished learning all six of the Six Powers from Uncle Witt after mastering them within a year.
• Uncle Witt praised Cole and urged him to keep training and develop his Devil Fruit ability, while telling Luo Han he would have to develop his own power without help.
• Luo Han asked Cole to punch repeatedly so he could sense the invisible force behind the strikes, but he still could not identify the trigger he needed.
• Luo Han and Cole trained until sunset, then returned home, where Grandma Mo asked Luo Han whether he had made progress and he cheerfully said he had.

Luo Han tried to help Cole develop his Devil Fruit and train Observation Haki, but Cole struggled to transform until he recalled the fruit’s taste. After Cole revealed his enormous kun form, Uncle Witt and Uncle Kate arrived, and Luo Han was left determined to keep strengthening his Psychokinesis.

• Luo Han told Cole that eating larger, better-quality meat would help develop his Devil Fruit ability.
• Luo Han proposed training Cole’s Observation Haki by attacking him with stones, but Cole could not transform at first.
• Luo Han reminded Cole that he had eaten the Kun Kun Fruit, and Cole recalled the fruit’s taste and began transforming.
• Cole transformed into a three-hundred-meter-long kun, startling Luo Han and drawing Uncle Witt and Uncle Kate to the island’s summit.
• Uncle Witt told Cole to change back and said he could train his Devil Fruit the next day.
• Luo Han watched Cole return to human form and resolved to keep working toward manifesting his Psychokinesis.

Luo Han discovered how to manifest psychokinesis by sensing the will behind Cole’s attacks, then awakened it after entering the Mustard Seed World. After gaining Divine Sense, he flew with Cole above Ring Tree Island, where the Hunting Squad watched him begin his own path to strength.

• Luo Han trained with Cole at Green Cliff and sensed the mysterious aura behind Cole’s punches, realizing that will could influence reality and manifest as psychokinesis.
• Luo Han entered a profound state and reached the Mustard Seed World, where his thoughts moved the surrounding space according to his will.
• Cole guarded Luo Han as he grew emaciated, then called to him until he woke; Luo Han demonstrated his new psychokinesis by lifting Cole into the air.
• Luo Han’s Observation Haki and mental perception fused into Divine Sense, letting him use psychokinesis anywhere within its range.
• Luo Han and Cole flew above Ring Tree Island, and Cole transformed into a giant Kun to soar through the clouds beside him.
• Uncle Kate praised Luo Han’s approach to developing his Devil Fruit and encouraged Rein to follow his own path.

After successfully manifesting Psychokinesis, Luo Han discovered that it barely drained his strength and could shield him from the sea’s aura. He left the chapter confident that he and Cole could travel underwater as well as through the sky.

• Luo Han returned to the island, replenished his energy with Rainbow Light Fish, and told Grandma Mo that he had manifested Psychokinesis.
• Luo Han tested his new ability and found he could use Psychokinesis without exhausting himself as long as he stayed within his current limit.
• Luo Han wrapped himself in Psychokinesis and swam through a lake, discovering that it blocked external sensations and let him move underwater.
• Luo Han tested the ability in seawater and found it affected him no differently than lake water.
• Luo Han wrapped Cole in Psychokinesis and brought him underwater, where Cole confirmed that he could swim safely.

Luo Han tested his newly developed Psychokinesis in a fight with Cole and discovered he could use it to enhance his body in close combat. After sensing Cole’s aura, Luo Han realized the Mind Fruit might let him unlock similar physical potential, leaving him eager to strengthen his body further.

• Luo Han and Cole sparred, and Luo Han used Psychokinesis to stop Cole’s charge and send him flying.
• Cole transformed into his hybrid form and struck Luo Han with Kun Fist, Divine Path, while Luo Han reinforced his body with Psychokinesis for their clash.
• Luo Han and Cole fought intensely until nightfall, astonishing the islanders and the watching Uncle Kate and Uncle Witt.
• After the fight, Luo Han realized combat had strengthened his body and concluded that Divine Sense and the Mind Fruit could guide him toward Cole’s physical potential.
• Luo Han and Cole headed back for dinner, both hungry after their long battle.

Witt and Kate decided to bring Luo Han and Cole into the Hunting Squad early because News Birds had begun reaching Ring Tree Island and the island might be discovered. Kate took them to the training grounds, where he explained the Nameless Fist Style and began their training.

• Witt warned Kate that outside activity was increasing and that the island’s residents could be endangered if the World Government found them.
• Kate agreed to start training Luo Han and Cole immediately and take them hunting Sea Kings.
• Kate brought Luo Han and Cole to the Hunting Squad’s training grounds, where Rhine told them they had joined the squad.
• Kate explained that the enhanced Nameless Fist Style used vibrations within the body and could only be practiced after the Scale Fruit had strengthened the body.
• Luo Han said his close-combat strength came from using Psychokinesis, and Kate told him to train alongside Cole anyway.

Uncle Kate taught Cole to control the vibrations of his body to strengthen his punches, while Luo Han considered how intense desire could let the Mind Fruit guide his body’s growth. The Hunting Squad then set out to hunt Sea Kings, and Uncle Kate began explaining how Ring Tree Island had grown as Luo Han sensed that no Sea Kings were nearby.

• Uncle Kate demonstrated how he gathered and transferred his body's vibrations into a powerful punch, then offered to teach Cole the technique.
• Luo Han reflected on how his desire to grow stronger affected the Mind Fruit's ability to guide his body's evolution.
• Uncle Kate took ten Hunting Squad members, Cole, and Luo Han out to hunt Sea Kings in small boats, assigning Luo Han to rescue injured hunters.
• Uncle Kate told Luo Han that Ring Tree Island had grown over the years and asked him to use Observation Haki to sense the nearby sea.
• Luo Han sensed that there were no Sea Kings within several kilometers, though Salt-Eating Sharks were deep underwater.

Uncle Kate explained how Ring Tree Island formed around the Divine Tree and how the tree survived the Sea Kings drawn to its Scale Fruit. The story ended with Luo Han wondering whether the apparently intelligent Divine Tree might pose a danger to the island’s residents.

• Uncle Kate explained that the Divine Tree’s desalination left salt in the surrounding waters, where Salt-Eating Sharks lived and often injured the Hunting Squad.
• Uncle Kate revealed that the Divine Tree once grew into a vast tree spanning over a hundred kilometers before its Scale Fruit attracted enormous Sea Kings that destroyed it, leaving only its trunk.
• Uncle Kate said the Divine Tree later gained the ability to desalinate seawater and built protective rock layers around itself, creating Ring Tree Island’s nine-layer structure.
• Uncle Kate explained that the Divine Tree’s ripe Scale Fruit later attracted no Sea Kings because its rock layers and roots blocked most of the aura, while increased salinity drove marine life away.
• Luo Han wondered whether the Divine Tree was intelligent and might eventually threaten the island’s residents.

Uncle Kate explained how the Divine Tree shaped Ring Tree Island, attracted fish, and created the conditions that let its people survive. Luo Han and Cole joined the Hunting Squad’s patrol, learned how it kept Sea Kings away, and returned safely to the island by evening.

• Uncle Kate explained that the Divine Tree drew deep-sea fish through underground passages, providing food that helped the shipwrecked ancestors settle on Ring Tree Island.
• Uncle Kate described how the Divine Tree attracted Rainbow Light Fish, whose feeding first helped the tree grow before islanders had to control their numbers.
• Uncle Kate explained that the Divine Tree’s expelled salt attracted Salt-Eating Sharks, which nested beneath the island and hunted Sea Kings.
• Luo Han sensed Large Sea Kings near the high-salinity boundary, and Uncle Kate ordered the Hunting Squad to patrol the island’s perimeter.
• Uncle Kate explained that high-salinity water weakened Sea Kings and that salt could draw Salt-Eating Sharks to drive them away; he warned the squad to avoid being swallowed or falling into the sea.
• Luo Han and Cole patrolled with Uncle Kate and returned to Ring Tree Island safely by evening.

After realizing he had neglected Grandma Mo in his pursuit of strength, Luo Han relaxed and reassured her about joining the Hunting Squad. He then told Uncle Witt that the Mind Fruit could raise a person's body-talent limit, leaving Uncle Witt astonished by the possibility that Luo Han could surpass Cole.

• Luo Han reflected on his obsession with strength and realized he had neglected spending time with Grandma Mo.
• Grandma Mo asked Luo Han about joining the Hunting Squad, and he promised to be careful and reassured her that he could fly.
• Luo Han flew to the first level and told Uncle Witt that his Mind Fruit ability could enhance body talent when combined with Rainbow Light Fish's energy.
• Luo Han explained that recording Cole's body-talent aura had given Mind Guidance a reference and made the enhancement faster.
• Luo Han told Uncle Witt the ability had no fixed limit, though it worked more slowly without a powerful body-talent aura as a benchmark.

Luo Han learned that his Mind Guidance could improve his physical talent, and Uncle Witt warned him to keep the ability secret and conceal his Devil Fruit powers. For the next half year, Luo Han trained with Cole, joined patrols, spent evenings with Grandma Mo, and secretly used Rainbow Light Fish to strengthen himself.

• Luo Han told Uncle Witt that Mind Guidance only worked on himself for now, though he believed it might help others once it could extend beyond his body.
• Uncle Witt warned Luo Han that the ability could make him a target, and Luo Han promised to keep it secret.
• Uncle Witt advised Luo Han to disguise his powers with Psychokinesis and cautioned him and Cole to hide their Devil Fruit abilities when they went to sea.
• Uncle Witt agreed to bring Luo Han a Rainbow Light Fish each night so he could improve his physical talent without drawing suspicion.
• Luo Han trained with Cole, patrolled with Uncle Kate and the others, and spent his evenings accompanying Grandma Mo.
• For half a year, Luo Han secretly consumed Rainbow Light Fish at night to build his strength.
