The Roger Pirates reached Eternal City after collecting the Red Road Poneglyph rubbing from Zou, with only the one in Luo Han’s possession remaining before they could head for the Final Island. As Roger’s crew entered Eternal City’s waters, they saw its ruthless rules enforced against pirates pursuing them.

• When Roger and Oden asked whether he could read Poneglyphs, Luo Han said someone could and teleported Olvia to his side.

• Garp blocked the Roger Pirates after they left Eternal City, and the ensuing battle ended in a truce the next morning with Olvia leaving alongside Roger’s crew.
• Olvia’s Psychic Armament Mode absorbed the Marines’ attacks, while Tsuru ordered them to ignore her after judging that she would not fight back.
• As Roger’s illness worsened, his crew fled from Garp and fought their way onward, boosting Garp’s reputation as a Marine hero.

• Luo Han learned from Olvia that the Poneglyphs described a Great Kingdom that ruled the world before the World Government was established.
• Luo Han used a Transparent Shield above Sky Island and tried to sense the deep-space location of Pluton.

Luo Han failed to sense Pluton and tried to test his theory that the islands of the world had broken off from the Great Kingdom’s continent. He realized his comparison was inconclusive and decided to focus on growing stronger while he waited for future conflicts.

• Luo Han gave up searching Sky Island for Pluton after a month and returned to his routine in Eternal City.
• A year passed as Roger’s disappearance fueled widespread violence and reduced attendance at Eternal City’s food competition.
• After controlling Sea Kings in the Calm Belt, Luo Han compared nearby islands from the sky to test whether they had once formed the Great Kingdom’s continent, but found no clear match.

• Luo Han returned to Eternal City, fought Chiyue in her Beast Giant King form, and resolved to keep training rather than worry about the future war.
