Ch. 427Overwhelming Power, a Giant Pillar of Light Shooting into the Universe! (Combined Chapter)

Luo Han and Imu continued their battle above Mary Geoise as Imu absorbed the sun’s energy and strengthened her defenses. Luo Han could neither break her barrier nor discover how she controlled the Heavenly King, and after two days the sun had grown larger while Imu’s control advanced.

  • Aokiji and Sengoku led the Marines toward Wano Country for shelter, while Sabo ended the Revolutionary Army’s fight and parted from Ann, who headed for Ark Island.
  • Luo Han and Imu’s clash killed the Sea King Army and Masked Man Legion, and Imu began absorbing solar energy as a pillar of light struck her.
  • Luo Han attacked Imu’s growing sphere of light but could not break through; Imu’s next attacks disrupted his projection, so she fortified herself and focused on controlling the sun.
  • Luo Han bombarded Imu’s barrier with Telekinetic Spears while searching the Mind World for the secret of her control, but after two days he had found nothing and the sun had grown larger.

Ch. 428The Frozen Four Blues, Luffy Revived? (Combined Chapter)

As Imu’s control of the sun plunged the world into a deadly freeze, Aokiji and Fujitora worked to evacuate people to the Great Land, which merged with Final Island. Luffy revived after absorbing the power of the Clan of D, then set out for Wano Country to awaken the Mother Tree and end the 800-year conflict.

  • The global freeze forced people from the Four Blues toward the Great Land, and Aokiji froze the Calm Belt while Fujitora prepared to lift evacuees past the moving landmass.
  • Aokiji and Steel-Bones Kong led soldiers and civilians across the ice road as the Great Land reached Final Island and fused with it.
  • The crimson Poneglyph restored Luffy’s body, rejoined his head, and his awakening killed Ann, Trafalgar D. Law, and the remaining members of the Clan of D.
  • Luffy absorbed the Clan of D’s power, grew into a ten-meter-tall giant, and regained consciousness with a new, merciless demeanor.
  • Luffy caught his giant straw hat, declared he would thwart Imu and awaken the Mother Tree, then flew toward Wano Country.

Ch. 429The Blooming Devil Fruit Tree, Imu and Luffy's Connection! (Double Chapter)

Luffy revived with immense power, restored the Devil Fruit Tree, and drew Imu into battle after severing her control of the Heavenly King. After learning that Luffy had absorbed Ann and the other members of the Clan of D, Luo Han sheltered his companions from the battle and focused on breaking through his Mind Power.

  • Luffy fed his blood to the Devil Fruit Tree, causing it to bloom and return uneaten Devil Fruits to the tree while producing a giant fruit embryo in outer space.
  • Luffy severed Imu’s connection to the Heavenly King, and Imu sensed his return and flew toward Wano Country.
  • Luo Han recognized Luffy’s immense aura and brought Elles and the others to safety, where Elles told him that Ann had died.
  • Luo Han sensed the Flame-Flame Fruit and Shadow Shadow Fruit powers on Luffy and concluded that Luffy had absorbed Ann and the Clan of D to gain his strength.

  • Imu accepted defeat after fighting Luffy for a day, then self-destructed and vanished, leaving Luffy unsure what she meant by returning next time.
  • Luffy used Law’s Op-Op Fruit power to expand a ROOM over the Great Land and reach Luo Han inside the Mind World, stabbing through his chest and gripping his heart.

Ch. 431Elles's Resolve, Ripples in the Dark World!

  • Luffy bound and tortured Luo Han with sharp azure wind threads while taunting him about taking his women.
  • Elles chose to kill herself rather than let Chiyue control her, and Luo Han watched her die.
  • Chiyue told Luffy to kill Luo Han, and Luffy tore off Luo Han's head.
  • After recalling his past life as Hanzi from Earth, Luo Han's consciousness entered a dark realm where he heard two pulses.
  • Luo Han adjusted the changing pulse until it matched the steady one, and their resonance produced silver light that revealed the One Piece planet.
  • Luo Han sensed the Red Line, Ark Island, and the Devil Fruit Tree, and realized he could control the tree.

Ch. 432Mind Resonance, the Beginning of the Comeback!

After Luo Han discovered Mind Resonance with the One Piece Planet, he returned from his Mind World and survived Luffy’s attack. His renewed control over the Mind World let him evade Luffy and Chiyue and move the Island Cloud’s inhabitants toward Pluton space, leaving them unable to strike him.

  • Luo Han realized Mind Resonance let him control the entire One Piece Planet and generate silver light that could transform into abilities such as Psychokinesis and Mind Fruit powers.
  • Luo Han resolved to protect Aixi, Cole, and the others, preserve Elles’s body, and use Pluton space to expose Luffy and Chiyue to outer space.

  • Luffy and Chiyue failed to find Luo Han, but he discovered that the overlapping worlds had greatly strengthened his ability to affect reality.
  • Luo Han appeared before Luffy and Chiyue, teleported everyone on the Island Cloud except the Fish-Man Race, Luffy, and Chiyue to the route to Pluton space, and let their attacks pass through him.

Ch. 433Mind Fusion, Frozen Mummies!

Luo Han trapped Luffy while evacuating people into Pluton’s space, then brought the One Piece Planet into the Mind World, killing everyone left outside. After restoring the planet and confirming Luffy and Chiyue’s deaths, he revived Elles with the Heal-Heal Fruit, and she began to awaken.

  • Luo Han teleported away from Chiyue and Luffy, and Luffy rescued the falling Fish-Men with the Op-Op Fruit.
  • Luffy discovered he had lost contact with Pluton and the Heavenly King, then rushed to the Pluton space passage after sensing someone had opened it.
  • Luo Han evacuated people from Sky Island and Ring Tree Island into Pluton’s space, then trapped Luffy in a deep space barrier to buy them time.
  • After everyone had entered the passage, Luo Han escaped to Pluton’s space and fused the One Piece Planet into the Mind World, leaving Luffy, Chiyue, and everyone else outside to die in space.
  • Luo Han restored the planet, and the Devil Fruit Tree bore fruits showing that Luffy and Chiyue had died; he then used the Heal-Heal Fruit to revive Elles.
  • Elles’s vitality and soul returned, and she slowly opened her eyes as Luo Han held her.

Ch. 434Unknown Fear, the Anomaly in Elles's Resurrection!

After reviving Elles, Luo Han found that although she seemed identical to the woman who had died, his mind insisted she was not the Elles he had wanted to bring back. The war ended with Eternal City ruling the devastated world, while Luo Han left the survivors celebrating and began considering what to do next, including a journey through space.

  • Elles woke in Luo Han's arms, feared for Aixi and the others, and relaxed when he assured her they were safe.
  • Luo Han sensed that the revived Elles had all the original's memories and traits, yet his mind told him she was a new Elles, and he hid his confusion from her.
  • Luo Han brought Elles to Aixi, Sola, Cole, Sister Shaku, Hancock, and the others, who welcomed her back.
  • Luo Han spared the Fish-Man Race after Sister Shaku pleaded for them, but ordered them to leave Ark Island and return to the ocean.

Ch. 435Mind Power Cultivator

Luo Han learned from Little Black, the Main God, that Mind Power Cultivators could not be resurrected and that the Elles he had brought back was only a copy. Little Black said the real Elles could still be revived, but only by a Mind Power Cultivator, and revealed that Lord Apocalypse was one as well.

  • Luo Han worried that merging the One Piece planet into his Mind World would kill its inhabitants and tried to understand why he sensed that the resurrected Elles was not the original.
  • A voice summoned Luo Han to Apocalypse Infinite Space, where he met Little Black, the Main God.
  • Little Black explained that Mind Power could transform into and be used as any power in any universe, but Mind Power Cultivators could not be resurrected.
  • Little Black confirmed that the resurrected Elles was a copy because the original had died, leaving Luo Han devastated.
