Chapter Summaries

Uncle Kate taught Cole to control the vibrations of his body to strengthen his punches, while Luo Han considered how intense desire could let the Mind Fruit guide his body’s growth. The Hunting Squad then set out to hunt Sea Kings, and Uncle Kate began explaining how Ring Tree Island had grown as Luo Han sensed that no Sea Kings were nearby.

• Uncle Kate demonstrated how he gathered and transferred his body's vibrations into a powerful punch, then offered to teach Cole the technique.
• Luo Han reflected on how his desire to grow stronger affected the Mind Fruit's ability to guide his body's evolution.
• Uncle Kate took ten Hunting Squad members, Cole, and Luo Han out to hunt Sea Kings in small boats, assigning Luo Han to rescue injured hunters.
• Uncle Kate told Luo Han that Ring Tree Island had grown over the years and asked him to use Observation Haki to sense the nearby sea.
• Luo Han sensed that there were no Sea Kings within several kilometers, though Salt-Eating Sharks were deep underwater.

Uncle Kate explained how Ring Tree Island formed around the Divine Tree and how the tree survived the Sea Kings drawn to its Scale Fruit. The story ended with Luo Han wondering whether the apparently intelligent Divine Tree might pose a danger to the island’s residents.

• Uncle Kate explained that the Divine Tree’s desalination left salt in the surrounding waters, where Salt-Eating Sharks lived and often injured the Hunting Squad.
• Uncle Kate revealed that the Divine Tree once grew into a vast tree spanning over a hundred kilometers before its Scale Fruit attracted enormous Sea Kings that destroyed it, leaving only its trunk.
• Uncle Kate said the Divine Tree later gained the ability to desalinate seawater and built protective rock layers around itself, creating Ring Tree Island’s nine-layer structure.
• Uncle Kate explained that the Divine Tree’s ripe Scale Fruit later attracted no Sea Kings because its rock layers and roots blocked most of the aura, while increased salinity drove marine life away.
• Luo Han wondered whether the Divine Tree was intelligent and might eventually threaten the island’s residents.

Uncle Kate explained how the Divine Tree shaped Ring Tree Island, attracted fish, and created the conditions that let its people survive. Luo Han and Cole joined the Hunting Squad’s patrol, learned how it kept Sea Kings away, and returned safely to the island by evening.

• Uncle Kate explained that the Divine Tree drew deep-sea fish through underground passages, providing food that helped the shipwrecked ancestors settle on Ring Tree Island.
• Uncle Kate described how the Divine Tree attracted Rainbow Light Fish, whose feeding first helped the tree grow before islanders had to control their numbers.
• Uncle Kate explained that the Divine Tree’s expelled salt attracted Salt-Eating Sharks, which nested beneath the island and hunted Sea Kings.
• Luo Han sensed Large Sea Kings near the high-salinity boundary, and Uncle Kate ordered the Hunting Squad to patrol the island’s perimeter.
• Uncle Kate explained that high-salinity water weakened Sea Kings and that salt could draw Salt-Eating Sharks to drive them away; he warned the squad to avoid being swallowed or falling into the sea.
• Luo Han and Cole patrolled with Uncle Kate and returned to Ring Tree Island safely by evening.

After realizing he had neglected Grandma Mo in his pursuit of strength, Luo Han relaxed and reassured her about joining the Hunting Squad. He then told Uncle Witt that the Mind Fruit could raise a person's body-talent limit, leaving Uncle Witt astonished by the possibility that Luo Han could surpass Cole.

• Luo Han reflected on his obsession with strength and realized he had neglected spending time with Grandma Mo.
• Grandma Mo asked Luo Han about joining the Hunting Squad, and he promised to be careful and reassured her that he could fly.
• Luo Han flew to the first level and told Uncle Witt that his Mind Fruit ability could enhance body talent when combined with Rainbow Light Fish's energy.
• Luo Han explained that recording Cole's body-talent aura had given Mind Guidance a reference and made the enhancement faster.
• Luo Han told Uncle Witt the ability had no fixed limit, though it worked more slowly without a powerful body-talent aura as a benchmark.

Luo Han learned that his Mind Guidance could improve his physical talent, and Uncle Witt warned him to keep the ability secret and conceal his Devil Fruit powers. For the next half year, Luo Han trained with Cole, joined patrols, spent evenings with Grandma Mo, and secretly used Rainbow Light Fish to strengthen himself.

• Luo Han told Uncle Witt that Mind Guidance only worked on himself for now, though he believed it might help others once it could extend beyond his body.
• Uncle Witt warned Luo Han that the ability could make him a target, and Luo Han promised to keep it secret.

Luo Han began patrolling Ring Tree Island’s waters as growing numbers of intelligent Large Sea Kings gathered to wait for the Divine Tree’s Scale Fruit. He feared the island could not withstand their eventual attack and resolved to become stronger, while a massive rainstorm threatened to change the sea’s salt concentration.

• Uncle Kate assigned Luo Han to patrol alone toward Green Cliff and partnered Cole with himself as the Hunting Squad prepared for the crisis.
• Luo Han flew along the boundary waters and sensed more than four Large Sea Kings, some as long as eight thousand meters, gathered beneath the sea.
• Luo Han recalled how the Sea Kings had steadily assembled over six months, apparently waiting for the Scale Fruit to ripen, and doubted the island could defeat them.
• Luo Han considered escaping with some islanders if the Sea Kings attacked, but worried that Grandma Mo and the older generation would refuse to abandon anyone.
• A torrential rainstorm began, and Luo Han watched the Sea Kings while worrying that the rain could lower the surrounding waters’ salt concentration and prompt an attack.

Luo Han, Uncle Kate, and Cole patrolled Ring Tree Island as Large Sea Kings rose from the sea and surrounded the island, then submerged without attacking. Luo Han and Uncle Kate realized the Sea Kings might return when the Scale Fruit matured, leaving them to continue patrols while facing the possibility of evacuating the island.

• Uncle Kate used Observation Haki from Cole's back to check the waters, while Luo Han sensed enormous bubbles rising from the seafloor.
• Large Sea Kings surfaced around Ring Tree Island, and their waves crashed against the island as residents watched and prayed.
• Luo Han froze before the Sea Kings as they looked toward the island, then watched them submerge without attacking.
• Luo Han worried the Sea Kings would return when the Scale Fruit matured, while Uncle Kate regretted being too weak to protect the island.
• Luo Han, Uncle Kate, and Cole continued patrolling through the day, and the Hunting Squad decided that only the three of them would patrol from then on.

• Uncle Witt and Uncle Kate resolved to keep looking for a way to save the islanders, while Luo Han continued cultivating and considered using Divine Sense to record Sea Kings’ physical auras.
• Luo Han flew Uncle Witt to the border zone and explained that he wanted to record the physical talent auras of the Super Giant Sea Kings.

Luo Han recorded the physical talent aura of a 20,000-meter Eel-shaped Super Giant Sea King, then recovered with Rainbow Light Fish before resuming patrol with Uncle Witt. When a gigantic Crab-shaped Sea King appeared, Uncle Witt concluded the Sea Kings would not attack before the Scale Fruit ripened and proposed searching for nearby islands to evacuate everyone from Ring Tree Island.

• Luo Han used Divine Sense to record the Eel-shaped Super Giant Sea King's physical talent aura while Uncle Witt kept watch.
• Luo Han completed the recording, and Uncle Witt fed him two Rainbow Light Fish to restore his strength.
• Luo Han and Uncle Witt encountered a huge Crab-shaped Sea King, and Uncle Witt decided they should stop patrolling and find a way to evacuate Ring Tree Island.
• Luo Han and Uncle Witt joined Uncle Kate and the others, returned to Ring Tree Island, and explained the danger to everyone.
• Uncle Witt proposed that Luo Han and he, and Cole and Kate, search in separate directions for nearby islands so they could evacuate people in batches.

Luo Han searched the sea with Uncle Witt for an island where Ring Tree Island’s people could relocate before the Scale Fruit ripened. Finding only stationary clouds in the distance, Luo Han suspected an island lay beneath them and urged Uncle Witt to investigate.

• Luo Han noticed motionless clouds in the distance and told a concerned Uncle Witt that an island might be beneath them.

Luo Han and Uncle Witt searched for a way off Ring Tree Island but found no islands, while Super Giant Sea Kings multiplied and panic spread. With the Scale Fruit close to ripening, Luo Han prepared to take as many people as he could and accepted that he might not be able to save everyone.

• Uncle Witt explained that they could not search farther without risking losing Ring Tree Island, and Luo Han agreed to return and try another direction.
• Luo Han and Uncle Witt searched for a day, but neither their group nor Uncle Kate found an island.
• As days passed and five Super Giant Sea Kings were confirmed near Ring Tree Island, residents gathered outside Luo Han's home, pleading for him to take their loved ones.
• With roughly three days left before the Scale Fruit ripened, Luo Han resolved to leave the next day and use all his strength to save as many people as possible.
• Luo Han sensed families across Ring Tree Island sharing a peaceful evening together and finally let go of his obsession.

After his Mind Fruit ability broke through, Luo Han heard the Divine Tree speak and learned that the Scale Fruit would ripen at noon the next day. He named the Divine Tree Luo Huan, called her his little sister, and joined Uncle Witt in warning the islanders to prepare to leave.

• Luo Han, Cole, Uncle Witt, and Uncle Kate prepared to evacuate the island’s residents while Grandma Mo insisted on staying behind.
• Luo Han sent a floating rock layer into the sky with women, children, and disabled residents, while the able-bodied boarded Cole in his Kun form.

• The Divine Tree’s roots and Salt-Eating Sharks held off the Sea Kings until eight Super Giant Sea Kings led a counterattack and began devouring the roots.
• Luo Han sensed that the Scale Fruit’s scent was drawing the Sea Kings through the roots and realized he could use the Mind Fruit to control their five senses.

Luo Han manifested Five Senses Control and turned the Sea Kings attacking Ring Tree Island against one another, saving the island before collapsing from exhaustion. After waking, he reunited with Grandma Mo and learned that Cole was watching the island’s boundary for more Sea Kings.

• Luo Han told Uncle Witt he could hide Ring Tree Island and make the Sea Kings leave, then asked to return to the island so he could develop his ability.
