Chapter Summaries

Luo Han took Zeus, Prometheus, and Pandora from Charlotte Linlin, using his awakened abilities to make them independent and loyal to him. After Linlin recreated Zeus and left to pursue Luo Han, Streusen recounted the Blue Demon's history and fearsome power to Katakuri as their group reached Nut Island.

• Charlotte Linlin agreed not to stop Luo Han from taking her three soul-made pets, and Luo Han gave their consciousness independent mental wills loyal to him.
• Luo Han teleported away with Zeus and the others, leaving Charlotte Linlin to fall until Katakuri caught her; Linlin created a new Zeus and ordered Katakuri and Streusen to guard the survivors on Nut Island while she left.
• On the voyage to Nut Island, Katakuri asked Streusen about the Blue Demon, and Streusen described Luo Han's early clashes with Ochoku and Silver Axe and his battles against the Roger Pirates.
• Streusen told Katakuri that Luo Han had injured Rocks during the God Valley Battle, where Rocks displayed overwhelming Armament Haki before Garp and Roger defeated him after his Haki was depleted.
• Katakuri and Streusen arrived at Nut Island with the survivors.

On Ark Island, Luo Han and Chiyue decided to give the Cloud Cloud Fruit to Thor, the thundercloud he had obtained from Charlotte Linlin. Thor ate it on its own and unleashed an enormous storm over Eternal City before returning to Chiyue.

• Luo Han brought Sea God and Sun God to the lake and sky, then showed Chiyue the Cloud Cloud Fruit and introduced Thor, the thundercloud from Charlotte Linlin.
• Chiyue asked Luo Han to let Thor stay with her, and Luo Han agreed to let Thor eat the fruit despite not knowing whether a thundercloud could consume a Devil Fruit.
• Thor swallowed the Cloud Cloud Fruit and grew into a cloud a hundred meters wide before racing high above Ark Island.
• Thor transformed into a vast black storm cloud that covered Eternal City, alarming its residents and drawing Elles and Aixi to the QQ account.
• Chiyue confirmed that Thor had gained the Cloud Cloud Fruit's power, and Aixi complained that Luo Han had never given her a Devil Fruit.
• Thor's storm clouds contracted and turned white again, and Thor returned to Chiyue.

Luo Han learned that the underworld leaders wanted Stussy appointed Eternal City's Administrator, while the Gorosei planned to use her to monitor Sola and take control of the city. As Luo Han and Sola went to meet the leaders, Takk told them that Blue Demon preferred beautiful, powerful women, leaving Stussy to weigh whether she should join his harem.

• Chiyue tested Thor's Cloud Cloud Fruit powers and found that their combination boosted her combat power by around twenty percent.
• Elles and Aixi asked Luo Han for pets of their own, and he promised to look for suitable Devil Fruits.
• Sola told Luo Han that the underworld leaders wanted to recommend Stussy as Eternal City's Administrator and that the Gorosei intended for her to help remove Luo Han's authority.
• Luo Han and Sola flew to Island No. 4 to meet the underworld leaders.
• While waiting for Luo Han, Takk told the leaders that Blue Demon liked beautiful women with Admiral-level strength, prompting Stussy to consider joining his harem.

Luo Han appointed Stussy as Eternal City's administrator and gave her five years to make it the New World's center of trade. After Sola outlined the restrictions and Takk offered his support, Stussy and the other underground kings began planning the city's development.

• 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 told Elles and Aixi that he had agreed to appoint an elderly woman as Eternal City's administrator in exchange for the underground world's support.
• Luo Han took Elles and Thor to Sky Island, where Thor transformed Island Cloud and Elles collected a Vine Pulse seed.
• Luo Han and Elles returned to Eternal City and prepared to test whether the Vine Pulse could grow in the sea.
• A cannonball grew to a thousand meters across and exploded above Island No. 4, where Stussy, Takk, and other underground magnates were meeting.
• Cole and Chiyue arrived near Island No. 4, and Luo Han identified the attacker as 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.
• Byrnndi World fired another shell at Island No. 4, but Chiyue destroyed it before it could reach the island.
• Luo Han immobilized World and the control-room crew, then beat World into submission while refusing Chiyue’s suggestion to kill him.
• Luo Han lifted Cannon Island and its injured captain with Psychokinesis and carried them toward Ark Island.
• Stussy and the other five saw World’s battered body on the flying island ship and were stunned that Luo Han had defeated him so quickly.

Luo Han made Byrnndi World absolutely loyal to him and became known as Eternal City's lord, the Night King. Meanwhile, Charlotte Linlin urged Kaido to ally with her against Blue Demon, though Kaido remained skeptical about his Haki.

• 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.
• Stussy and the others spread the title Night King through newspaper reports, establishing it as Luo Han's new name after he defeated Charlotte Linlin's Cake Island and Byrnndi World.
• Charlotte Linlin met Kaido and asked him to join forces against Blue Demon, describing the perfected Armament Haki that made Luo Han undetectable to Observation Haki.
• 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.
• Charlotte Linlin told Kaido that the Ancient Weapons were hidden in Poneglyphs and proposed seeking decipherers, including the Three-Eye Tribe.
• Charlotte Linlin and Kaido agreed to secretly gather strength and Poneglyphs, then launch their plans when the time was right.
• Luo Han and Elles planted seeds beneath the sea and grew a Vine Pulse, but Elles found seawater was corroding it and began modifying it.
• 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.

Luo Han gave the Vine Pulse the Yalchimann Red Tree's seawater-survival talent, enabling it to produce bubbles and support Island Cloud platforms. He then began building up his forces by creating Sea King Tribe members in the Calm Belt.

• Luo Han modified the Yalchimann Red Tree's talent aura and implanted its seawater-adaptation ability into the Vine Pulse, allowing Elles to guide its rapid evolution.
• The Vine Pulse produced a bubble, confirming the evolution had succeeded, and Thor created five Island Cloud platforms around it.
• Luo Han and Elles planted another Vine Pulse beside Dream Island and ten more around Ark Island.
• Sola left to secretly gather information on Vegapunk, while Aixi returned to study food.
• Luo Han used Amaterasu to control twenty-five Sea Kings, gave them Steel Balloon and human-form abilities, and named their new race the Sea King Tribe.

Byrnndi World agreed to join Eternal City and was assigned to guard Bot Island and Cole’s former territory. On the QQ account, Luo Han fought Elles to investigate her infinite stamina and discovered that the Power of Nature replenished her energy by turning it into life force.

• 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.
• After Elles exhausted Luo Han’s Perfect Armament Haki, Chiyue arrived, and Elles recovered her stamina and prepared to continue.
• Luo Han sensed that Elles’s Divine Tree avatar used the Power of Nature to transform incoming energy into life force, replenishing her stamina.

Luo Han developed a way to replenish his stamina with Sea King energy, then tested Cole’s newly awakened Devil Fruit ability in a fierce battle above Ark Island. Their evenly matched fight left the Island Cloud badly damaged as they continued exchanging blows.

• Luo Han used Modify Aura and the Mind World to absorb Sea King energy, restoring his stamina before continuing his battle with Elles for five more days.
• Cole’s Devil Fruit ability awakened, so Luo Han agreed to test his strength after he and Elles stopped fighting.
• Luo Han injured Cole with a powerful punch, but Cole quickly regenerated and asked to test his endurance.
• Cole used his awakened spatial control to block Luo Han’s full-powered strike, prompting Luo Han to activate his strongest Psychic Armament Mode.
• Luo Han and Cole exchanged rapid blows whose explosive force carved deep gouges into the Island Cloud, while Elles shielded the spectators from the Slash Waves.

Stussy began organizing Eternal City's administration while watching Luo Han and Cole's ten-day battle. When Luo Han tested his full-strength Perfect Armament Haki, he shattered Cole's Space Armament and gravely injured him, leaving the group to discover that the Haki suppressed Devil Fruit abilities and hindered recovery.

• Stussy arrived on Island No. 4, learned that King of Beasts Cole was fighting Blue Demon, and ordered an administrative center built.
• After observing the battle, Stussy decided to report Cole's strength to the Gorosei when she next put out to sea.
• Luo Han and Cole ended their ten-day endurance test, and Cole asked Luo Han to use his Perfect Armament Haki.
• Chiyue foresaw danger and tried to stop Luo Han, but his full-power punch shattered Cole's Space Armament and sent Cole flying with a severely injured hand.
• Luo Han brought Cole back, and Chiyue explained that his Perfect Armament Haki had suppressed Cole's Devil Fruit power and weakened his recovery.
• Elles began gathering life force to heal Cole, but a lingering power from Luo Han's strike reduced the effect of her ability.

Elles gathered a massive Life Light Orb to heal the gravely wounded Cole while Luo Han waited. Stussy spied on the group hoping Blue Demon was injured, but Luo Han caught her, crushed her resistance, and altered her will before returning to Elles and the others.

• Luo Han urged Elles to treat Cole, but she explained that she needed to gather enough life force to cross a healing threshold, and Aixi rebuked Luo Han for doubting her.
• Stussy noticed Elles's turquoise Life Light Orb from Island No. 4 and suspected someone powerful, possibly Cole or Blue Demon, had been seriously injured.
• Believing Blue Demon might be vulnerable, Stussy flew to a Vine Pulse and used binoculars to spy on Luo Han and the others, then saw that Cole was the one being treated.
• Luo Han detected Stussy's surveillance, teleported to her, and took the Den Den Mushi she used to contact the World Government.
• Luo Han crushed Stussy with Psychokinesis, entered her spiritual world, and altered her will to make her absolutely loyal to him before teleporting back to Elles and the others.

Elles healed Cole after Luo Han’s Perfect Armament Haki had badly injured him, but the group remained puzzled by how completely it had overwhelmed Cole’s spatial defense. Later, Luo Han investigated the Poneglyphs and wondered whether their structure came from Perfect Armament Haki—and whether the Gorosei might possess comparable strength.

• Elles gathered a five-thousand-meter Life Force Orb and used it to heal Cole’s wounds, after which Luo Han carried the sleeping Cole back to Gourmet City.
• At dinner, Cole said Luo Han’s Perfect Armament Haki had shattered his Space Armament defense, and Luo Han explained that his Haki countered abilities reliant on Devil Fruits.
• Elles forbade Luo Han from using Perfect Armament Haki in sparring and arranged to spar with Cole alongside Chiyue the next day.
• Luo Han examined the four Poneglyphs beneath Ark Island’s central lake but found no new clues about their connection to Perfect Armament Haki.
• Luo Han wondered whether the Poneglyphs had been created using Perfect Armament Haki and whether the Gorosei could be as powerful as he was, then decided to focus on developing his abilities and controlling Sea Kings.

Luo Han took Sea God to the ocean and assigned it to help guide ships through the Circular sea current. After lunch, he explained how to create Perfect Armament Haki, but Chiyue, Elles, and Cole could not reproduce it.

• Luo Han brought Sea God to the sea, where it spread its aura across a ten-kilometer radius and demonstrated how much water it could control.
• Luo Han left Sea God near the Circular sea current to help Niu Niu and the others guide ships through it.
• At lunch, Sola asked Luo Han about Stussy, and he privately told her that he had made Stussy submit and that she should work with her.
• Luo Han explained his method for condensing Perfect Armament Haki by turning willpower into threads and points.
• Chiyue, Elles, and Cole tried the method for ten minutes but could not sense or shape their willpower.

Sola and Aixi unexpectedly learned Perfect Armament Haki, leaving Luo Han puzzled about how they had managed it. After confirming Aixi could use it, Luo Han agreed to let her visit Shao with Elles the next day.

• Elles confirmed that Sola's Armament Haki produced the distinctive chime of Perfect Armament Haki when she tapped Cole's Haki.
• Sola explained that she had followed Luo Han's instructions but remained unsure how she had learned the technique.
• Aixi announced that she had also learned Perfect Armament Haki and squeezed out a thin layer for the others to test.
• Aixi and Sola confirmed Aixi's Haki was Perfect Armament Haki, and Elles congratulated Aixi on becoming stronger.
• Aixi asked to visit Big Sis, and Luo Han agreed that she could go with Elles to see Shao the next day.

Luo Han discovered that Amaterasu power let those connected to him learn Perfect Armament Haki, and he taught it to Niu Niu, the other Sea Kings nearby, and the Sea Kings he controlled elsewhere. He left the Sea Kings as hidden trump cards while ordering them not to attack people or ships.

• Luo Han asked Elles to plant two islands as Eternal City's gates and ports, and tasked Sola with secretly finding a Life Card Paper leading to Zou.
• Luo Han traveled to the Calm Belt, considered how slowly he could control Sea Kings, and checked for the Munch-Munch Fruit in Chopper's snowy homeland but found none.
• Luo Han realized Aixi and Sola might have learned Perfect Armament Haki because his Amaterasu power had entered their spiritual worlds.
• Luo Han taught Niu Niu and his underlings to condense Perfect Armament Haki, and they succeeded, with Niu Niu producing a one-meter-thick coating.
• Luo Han gathered the minds of the other Sea Kings he controlled in the Mind World and taught them Perfect Armament Haki; they all learned it and agreed not to attack humans or ships.

Luo Han discovered he could store and stack Perfect Armament Haki in the Mind World, then devised a way to create a controllable Mind Clone using one of Elles’s Golden Scale Fruits. He named the successful clone James Bond and took him to begin the next experiment.

• Luo Han found that Perfect Armament Haki remained in the Mind World after he left, and he stacked another layer there before physical exhaustion stopped him from making more.
• Elles reported that ships struggled to navigate the Circular sea current, but she and Luo Han left the problem unresolved.
• Luo Han asked whether Elles’s Golden Scale Fruit could become a creature like Thor, then explained he wanted a tireless user for the Door-Door Fruit to connect the Four Blues with Eternal City.
• Luo Han took one of Elles’s Golden Scale Fruits to Charlotte Linlin, who injected it with a soul, and he then used Amaterasu and a projection of his spiritual will to create a controllable Mind Clone.
• Luo Han named the young clone James Bond and teleported away with him to continue the experiment.

Elles tested Chiyue and Cole’s newly mastered Flowing Cherry against her Chaos Armament Haki, while Luo Han explained why her technique overwhelmed theirs. Luo Han then helped James Bond produce a Golden Scale Fruit and confirmed Bond could use their connection to transmit a Divine Tree’s energy, bringing the plan to make the Four Blues converge closer to reality.

• Chiyue and Cole demonstrated Flowing Cherry, but it dissipated when they struck Elles’s Chaos Armament Haki.
• Luo Han explained that Chaos Armament Haki was the ultimate form of Flowing Cherry and encouraged Chiyue and Cole to focus on what suited them.
• Luo Han introduced James Bond, whose aura resembled his own, and Elles painfully stimulated a Golden Scale Fruit from Bond.
• Luo Han and Elles planted Bond’s seed near Island One, where it grew into a towering Divine Tree.
• Luo Han entered Bond’s Mind World and confirmed he could transmit the Divine Tree’s energy to Bond through their Amaterasu connection.
• Luo Han gave Bond permission to transmit the energy independently, and Bond successfully sent another surge into his body before they returned to Ark Island.

Luo Han’s Eternal City flourished over the course of a year as its forces gained fame across the New World. During a clash with Sengoku’s Marines, San Long used Luo Han’s Psychic Armament to slaughter most of their soldiers, leaving Kizaru shaken and newly aware of the Blue Demon’s reputation.

• Luo Han gave the Door-Door Fruit to Bond, then spent his days training, managing Sea Kings, and developing Bond’s powers while studying the limits of his Mind Light.
• Over the next year, Stussy helped establish Eternal City’s first island chain as a major trading hub, protected by Takk’s guards and the Sea King legion led by Niu Niu and Soton.
• Ochoku, Silver Axe, Monk Sanlong, and World Destroyer Byrnndi World gained fame through clashes with powerful pirates and Marines, while Borsalino made his first appearance in the New World.
• During San Long’s battle with Sengoku, San Long activated Luo Han’s Psychic Armament and ignored Kizaru’s laser as he charged into the Marine ranks.
• San Long killed nearly all of the Marines before Sengoku and Kizaru managed to retreat, and Kizaru questioned Sengoku about Luo Han as their surviving troops sailed toward the G1 Branch.
