The chapter left Elles transporting Chiyue’s fleet to Island One while Luo Han questioned why Cole had become an enormous mass of flesh.

• At the banquet, Luo Han announced that the surrounding islands would form Eternal City and promised his pirates they would work together to rule the New World.

Luo Han enlarged his body to make Chiyue a real woman, but discovered that the growth had cost him an estimated ten years of lifespan, so he left to search the New World for the Lanternfish. Meanwhile, Chiyue returned to Fish-Man Island and began organizing its people to move to a new homeland, while the Ryugu King reluctantly accepted her plan.

• Luo Han grew to fifteen meters tall using Mind Guidance, then told Chiyue that enlarging himself had cost him ten years of lifespan and that he had only about twenty years left.

• Chiyue told the Ryugu King that Elles’s ability had made the island but would not cause it to disappear, and the Ryugu King reluctantly let her proceed with the migration.

• Chiyue noticed a mountain-like shape moving underwater, struck it with a lightning spear, and revealed the golden Lanternfish before it covered itself with silt again.
• Unable to contact Luo Han, Chiyue shattered her ring; he read her Life Card Paper and raced toward her, damaging ships and islands with the wind pressure and tsunamis from his flight.
• Whitebeard protected his ship and crew from the resulting gale and tsunami, while Luo Han eventually reached Chiyue and stopped the waves.
• Chiyue told Luo Han she had found the Lanternfish, but his Divine Sense detected nothing beneath them, and he questioned where it was.

Luo Han found and subdued the Lanternfish, used its Pure Gold to halt his aging, and brought Misukina Asie and Olga back to Ark Island. After reflecting on what he truly wanted, he began awakening his Mind Power by building the future Eternal City in his Mind World, while the real city continued to expand.

• Luo Han agreed to make Stussy administrator and granted her an island, requiring Eternal City to become the New World's trade center within five years.
• Luo Han left the city's development to Sola and Takk, then returned to Ark Island.
• Sola explained which islands Stussy could manage and warned her to respect Luo Han's and the other leaders' territories.
• Takk revealed that Luo Han could share his Psychic Armament Mode, prompting the underground kings to weigh its protection against the risk of becoming bound to him.
• Takk told Stussy and the others to make decisions themselves, explaining that he would help establish their authority rather than control their administration.

Luo Han and Elles tested whether Thor could make Island Cloud and collected a Vine Pulse seed to develop floating islands for Eternal City. Their plans were interrupted when a giant cannonball struck Island No. 4, and Luo Han recognized the attack as the work of someone Chiyue had defeated before.

Luo Han stopped Byrnndi World’s attack on Island No. 4 and defeated him, choosing to spare him and recruit him. Stussy and the others saw Luo Han carry the defeated World toward Ark Island and realized how quickly Blue Demon had won.

• After Luo Han contained the first shell’s explosion, Takk told Stussy and the others that Luo Han’s Observation Haki covered the entire Eternal City.

• Luo Han used Amaterasu to make the badly wounded Byrnndi World absolutely loyal, then ordered his men to save him and serve Eternal City.
• Luo Han told Elles, Chiyue, Sola, and Aixi that he would return each day after going out for an hour, and promised to show them Eternal City's floating island the next day.

• Kaido questioned whether Blue Demon had truly mastered Rocks' special Haki, while recalling Rocks' near-fatal blow and his own goal of awakening his Devil Fruit.

Charlotte Linlin and Kaido agreed to secretly build their strength and seek the Ancient Weapons so they could eventually overturn the world. On Ark Island, Luo Han and Elles tested whether a Vine Pulse could survive in seawater, and Chiyue suggested transplanting the Yalchimann Red Tree's talent to it.

• Charlotte Linlin explained to Kaido that Blue Demon had powerful Armament Haki and a terrifying Devil Fruit ability, and Kaido agreed they needed to prepare against him.

• Chiyue, Aixi, and Sola suggested that Luo Han transplant the Yalchimann Red Tree's talent to the Vine Pulse, and Chiyue explained how they had inferred his ability.

• Byrnndi World woke aboard his ship, learned that Blue Demon had claimed he agreed to serve Eternal City, and decided to join to protect Bin Jack and the others.
• Sola ordered Byrnndi World to guard Bot Island, oversee Cole’s former islands, and command the pirate crews stationed around Bort.
• Luo Han brought Elles to the QQ account to study her infinite stamina, and Elles grew to fifteen meters before they clashed with their Armament Haki.
