Chapter Summaries

Luo Han rested while Elles and Chiyue rushed to help Ann’s sparring partner, Jack, after Ann nearly beat him to death. Luo Han secretly gave the unconscious Fish-Man Jack a powerful physical talent, confirming he was the future Drought Jack, though his life in this altered world had taken him away from Wano Country.

• Luo Han returned to his villa exhausted, and Elles climbed into bed with him despite his insistence that he needed sleep.
• Chiyue arrived and Elles learned that Ann had nearly beaten Jack to death during a sparring match.
• Luo Han teleported to Ann and Jack, then watched unseen as Elles restored Jack’s body while his mental trauma remained.
• Chiyue asked Luo Han to help protect Jack during future sparring, and Luo Han secretly gave him Innate Aura mixed with the talents of a Super Giant Sea King and a Steel Balloon.
• Luo Han confirmed Jack was a Fish-Man and likely the future Drought Jack, who had come to Eternal City instead of going to Wano Country.

Luo Han completed Vegapunk’s Mind Clone fusion with a prepared Clone Body and then visited Judge’s laboratory in West Blue. Reiju asked him to make Judge treat Sanji better, and Luo Han left after granting her an Innate Aura Flame and ordering Judge not to mistreat Sanji.

• Luo Han finished copying Vegapunk’s Mind Clone and traveled to Judge’s laboratory in West Blue.
• Luo Han placed Vegapunk’s Mind Clone into the prepared Clone Body, and Judge released and dressed it after the fusion succeeded.
• Reiju brought clothes to the laboratory and asked Luo Han to make Judge treat Sanji better.
• Luo Han agreed on the condition that Reiju never touch men, then gave her a Steel Balloon Innate Aura Flame.
• Luo Han ordered Judge to leave Sanji alone and teleported away with the Clone Body.

After giving Vegapunk a new body and helping him establish a research base, Luo Han spent two years gathering Mind Power until his Mind World grew stronger. He then demonstrated a way to make attacks pass through him and explained how Chiyue could imitate it, while Elles watched.

• Luo Han introduced Vegapunk to Stussy, who helped him plan and supply a research base on Vine Pulse Island.
• Vegapunk designed strange research buildings that appeared across the levels of the island.
• Luo Han created Mind Clones above densely populated places around the world for two years, causing his Mind World to undergo its first transformation in intensity.
• Luo Han let Elles and Chiyue attack him, and their physical, lightning, Chaos Armament Haki, and Flowing Cherry Haki attacks all passed through him.
• Luo Han explained that Chiyue could use her future-seeing Observation Haki to make attacks miss by turning her body into an element and leaving a hole in advance.
• Chiyue asked Elles to attack her so she could try the technique.

Luo Han tested Reverse Projection, a new ability from his transformed Mind World that let his projection affect reality while remaining intangible. He then went to Sky Island to test his deep-space senses and considered how powerful the ability could make him.

• Elles and Chiyue attacked Luo Han without Armament Haki, and he demonstrated that his projection could grab Elles while remaining untouchable to her and Chiyue.
• Luo Han explained that his real body was inside his Mind World and that actions there could be reflected onto real-world projections.
• Luo Han teleported above Sky Island and found no unusual deep-space presence before the moon rose.
• Luo Han identified Reverse Projection’s limits: it could not project Seastone or targets coated in Armament Haki, though attacks from his Mind World could still affect reality.
• Luo Han concluded that enemies could not touch him while he used Reverse Projection unless they could enter his Mind World.

Luo Han sought Vegapunk’s help to find a way to strengthen his Perfect Armament Haki, but learned it had reached the limit of its Seastone-like development. He brought Elles to the research base to test her Chaos Armament Haki as a possible alternative.

• Luo Han realized Pluton might not be orbiting above Sky Island, so he planned to search for it by planting Mind Clones across the world.
• Luo Han decided to investigate stronger Armament Haki after considering how full-body Haki could resist his Mind Power abilities.
• Luo Han asked Vegapunk how to improve Perfect Armament Haki, and Vegapunk tested it in a pool connected to analysis equipment.
• Vegapunk found that Perfect Armament Haki’s energy structure overlapped with Seastone and said its development in that direction had reached its limit.
• Luo Han teleported Elles to the research base and asked her to activate Chaos Armament Haki and enter the pool for testing.

Luo Han learned how Elles's Chaos Armament Haki suppressed Devil Fruit abilities through particle compression and chaotic movement, despite having little overlap with Seastone. Worried that Imu's advanced Perfect Armament Haki would eventually overwhelm him, Luo Han heard Vegapunk suggest developing a different, equally powerful Armament Haki structure.

• Luo Han had Vegapunk test Elles's Chaos Armament Haki and asked what direction it was developing in.
• Vegapunk explained that Elles's Haki consisted of compressed particles in chaotic, high-speed motion, creating a grinding effect that suppressed Devil Fruit abilities.
• Luo Han learned that Chaos Armament Haki had less than half the overlap with Seastone that he expected, and Vegapunk compared its effect to a saw's teeth.
• Luo Han told Vegapunk about Imu and the Masked Men's advanced applications of Perfect Armament Haki, admitting he feared being surpassed.
• Vegapunk advised Luo Han to develop a different Armament Haki structure that could match Perfect Armament Haki, since its later developments merely changed its form for different battles.

Luo Han realized Imu’s Perfect Armament Haki modes were designed to counter Perfect Armament Haki and resumed controlling Sea Kings in the Calm Belt. Meanwhile, Akainu’s Marines invaded Amazon Lily, and Luo Han headed toward the island after nearby Sea Kings called him about the bombardment.

• Luo Han concluded that Imu had created different Perfect Armament Haki application modes to counter its users and resolved to develop a way to oppose them.
• After leaving Elles’s bed, Luo Han resumed controlling Sea Kings in the Calm Belt.
• Akainu ordered the Marines to invade Amazon Lily after their Seastone technology let them cross the Calm Belt without attracting Sea Kings.
• The Marines landed and fought Amazon Lily’s warriors while Akainu gained the advantage over Empress Diana.
• Seven Sea Kings near Amazon Lily contacted Luo Han to complain about the cannon fire, so he decided to investigate.

Luo Han arrived at Amazon Lily and saved Diana from Akainu, defeating him with a single strike. He claimed the island as territory under Eternal City and forced the Marines to withdraw, leaving the people of Amazon Lily stunned.

• Luo Han teleported into the Calm Belt, recognized Amazon Lily, and sent the Sea Kings back underwater before flying toward the island.
• Akainu blasted Diana into a mountain wall, and the badly wounded queen urged her people to escape through the palace's underground passage.
• Luo Han appeared before Diana and blocked Akainu's magma punch with his palm.
• Luo Han struck Akainu down with flowing Armament Haki, and Akainu recognized him as someone from Eternal City.
• Luo Han declared Amazon Lily Eternal City's territory and threatened to kill the Marines if they stayed, so Akainu ordered their withdrawal.
• The people of Amazon Lily remained stunned by Luo Han's strength and identity after the Marines left.

Luo Han learned that Amazon Lily’s Sacred Spring awakened its people’s Armament Haki through changes to their physiques, then brought the island into Eternal City and began analyzing the spring water. At Marine Headquarters, Akainu asked Sengoku and Garp about the man who had injured him.

• Luo Han asked Diana how Amazon Lily awakened Armament Haki, then controlled her and learned about the Sacred Spring beneath the Nine Snake Stone Sculpture.
• Luo Han took a sample of the Sacred Spring and healed Diana with life force provided through Elles.
• Luo Han told Diana that Amazon Lily had joined Eternal City and promised to arrange a Space Gate and have Stussy help the islanders find work.
• Luo Han returned to Eternal City, finished gathering the Amaterasu power he needed, and began analyzing the Sacred Spring in his Mind World.
• At Marine Headquarters Hospital, Akainu showed Sengoku a portrait of Luo Han, and Garp agreed that it depicted the man who had fought him.
• Akainu asked Sengoku how he knew Luo Han, since the man was absent from Eternal City’s bounty posters despite his age and strength.

Garp, Sengoku, and Akainu considered whether Luo Han and the women of the Eternal City had remained young, but agreed to keep their suspicions from the World Government for now. After studying Amazon Lily’s Sacred Spring, Luo Han sent Stussy and Bond to find the islanders a base and asked them to look for Boa Hancock.

• Garp and Sengoku realized that Luo Han and Aixi and Sola had appeared unusually young for decades, and feared the Eternal City might possess a way to preserve youth or grant immortality.
• Garp argued that the World Government already knew about Luo Han and that they should not provoke a war, so Sengoku and Akainu agreed to keep quiet.
• Luo Han discovered that Amazon Lily’s Sacred Spring transformed the body’s aura, allowing women to develop Armament Haki, and suspected the change depended on an all-female environment.
• Luo Han asked Stussy and Bond to find Amazon Lily a base in the Eternal City and to ask whether Boa Hancock was there.

Luo Han learned that Boa Hancock had been missing for years and that pirates often targeted Eternal City’s supply ships, then discovered his interest in women had diminished. More than a year later, Fisher Tiger freed the slaves at Mary Geoise, but Navy and Cipher Pol forces cornered the Boa sisters on Sabaody, leaving Hancock injured and her sisters captured.

• Stussy told Luo Han that Boa Hancock had gone missing during a voyage four years earlier and that Amazon Lily’s people now escorted Eternal City’s supplies.
• Luo Han learned that Donquixote Doflamingo had robbed the Heavenly Tribute and heard that pirates repeatedly tried to rob Eternal City’s ships.

• On Sabaody, Hancock and her sisters fought off Navy soldiers and Cipher Pol agents until a Cipher Pol captain kicked Hancock aside and the soldiers captured Sonia and Golde.
• Seeing her sisters captured, Hancock ignored her injuries and told them to use their abilities.

Hancock awakened Conqueror's Haki while trying to protect her sisters from the Marines and Cipher Pol, but the Cipher Pol captain defeated her before Rayleigh arrived and killed their pursuers. The sisters woke safely at Sister Shaku's bar, where Leosa identified herself and they began to trust their rescuers.

• Hancock's sisters discovered their Seastone handcuffs and warned her as the Cipher Pol captain closed in.
• Hancock awakened Conqueror's Haki, which spread across Sabaody Archipelago and knocked out the nearby Marines and agents.
• Leosa asked Sister Shaku to rescue the Amazon Lily sisters, and Rayleigh went in Shakky's place.
• The Cipher Pol captain defeated Hancock and tried to put a slave collar on her, but Rayleigh killed him and the other pursuers before carrying the three sisters to Sister Shaku's bar.
• The sisters woke at the bar, learned Leosa was a former empress of Amazon Lily, and ate the food Sister Shaku had prepared.

Rayleigh and Sister Shaku discussed having Luo Han retrieve the rescued Hancock sisters, while Hancock learned that Amazon Lily had joined Eternal City and vowed to withdraw from it. Luo Han arrived and explained that he had saved Amazon Lily from a World Government extermination campaign, leaving Leosa scrambling to stop Hancock from provoking him.

• Rayleigh thanked Sister Shaku for the food and said the World Government presence outside was still too strong to leave safely.
• Sister Shaku suggested asking Luo Han to pick up the sisters, and Rayleigh worried about how he would react to learning the Celestial Dragons had enslaved them.
• Leosa told Hancock that Amazon Lily had joined Eternal City a year and a half earlier, and Hancock vowed to withdraw once she became Empress.
• Luo Han appeared and explained that the World Government had sent Akainu to destroy Amazon Lily, and that he had saved it while training in the Calm Belt.
• Hancock mocked Luo Han and promised to withdraw Amazon Lily from Eternal City, so Leosa covered her mouth and apologized to him.

Luo Han told Hancock he would let Amazon Lily leave Eternal City if she killed a Celestial Dragon, then left her shaken by the challenge. Sister Shaku showed Hancock evidence that Celestial Dragons had been killed before, and Hancock resolved to follow Luo Han’s example.

• Luo Han explained that Diana had sent him to find Hancock and her sisters and bring them back to Amazon Lily.
• Hancock insisted she would return on her own, and Luo Han challenged her to kill a Celestial Dragon before Amazon Lily could leave Eternal City.
• After Luo Han teleported away, Hancock panicked at the thought of killing a Celestial Dragon.
• Sister Shaku showed Hancock and her sisters a newspaper describing Blue Demon and King of Ten Thousand Beasts attacking Mary Geoise and killing many Celestial Dragons.
• Sister Shaku showed the sisters old bounty posters, and Hancock recognized Luo Han and resolved to decide the life and death of Celestial Dragons herself.

After a year of training, Ann learned a powerful Arhat Fist and sparred with Jack in Eternal City. Robin then suggested visiting Ark Island to search for a Poneglyph, but Ann warned that it was forbidden, so the children set off for Sky Island instead.

• Rayleigh warned Hancock that killing a Celestial Dragon without strength like Luo Han's would bring disaster, but Hancock vowed to surpass him.

Luo Han completed a new graphene-based Armament Haki by fusing it with Psychokinesis, then proved it could pierce Perfect Armament Haki. He celebrated the breakthrough and healed Bond before sending him away.

• Elles, Aixi, Chiyue, and Sola told Luo Han that Robin had gone missing, but he refused to search for her and teleported away.
• Luo Han continued his daily work controlling Sea Kings and guarding inhabited islands with Mind Clones, then trained his Armament Haki.

• Luo Han explained that he had fused Psychokinesis with graphene-based Armament Haki so he could stack its layers and strengthen it.
• Luo Han struck Bond with a blade of the new Haki, severing Bond’s arm and proving it could break Perfect Armament Haki’s defense.
• Luo Han restored Bond’s arm with a Life Force Orb, and Bond left through a Space Gate.

Luo Han explained to Aixi why Cole had returned to Ring Tree Island and reflected on Hancock’s failed challenge and the younger generation’s roles in the Eternal City. The chapter ended as a Den Den Mushi rang beside him.

• Luo Han told Aixi that Cole had returned to Ring Tree Island to live with his parents rather than keep pursuing immortality, and Aixi admitted she feared a child might make her choose the same way.

• A Den Den Mushi rang while Luo Han was thinking about the past.

Aixi persuaded Luo Han to meet Ann, who learned she could leave Eternal City when she turned twenty. Half a year later, Ace met Shanks in the New World and learned that Shanks considered the Blue Demon Luo Han stronger than Whitebeard.
