Chapter Summaries

After surviving the battle with CP0 and Zephyr, Luo Han and Cole returned to Whitebeard’s ship aboard a Sea King and then reunited with the Green Fork Pirates. Cole was badly wounded, and Luo Han ordered the crew to prepare food for his recovery.

• Whitebeard told Sister Shaku that Luo Han had asked him to leave first, while they wondered whether Luo Han and Cole had survived.
• Sister Shaku sensed a Large Sea King approaching, and Whitebeard lowered his weapon after Luo Han asked him to stop.
• Luo Han and Cole flew out of the Sea King’s mouth onto Whitebeard’s ship, where Whitebeard and Sister Shaku welcomed them back.
• Luo Han took Cole to Takk’s ship and privately felt hurt that Golden Lion had not treated them as friends.
• Takk and the Green Fork Pirates welcomed Luo Han and Cole, and Luo Han ordered them to prepare food to help Cole recover.

After surviving an attack by Zephyr and three CP0 agents, Luo Han and Cole celebrated with their crew before sailing toward an unfamiliar island. At Mary Geoise, the Gorosei reported to Lord Im that the pair probably did not possess the legendary Infinite Fruit, but they still planned to investigate Luo Han’s unidentified ability.

• Luo Han reflected that he and Cole had escaped the CP0 agents by using his Illusion to control a Sea King, and worried that they were still too weak to face the World Government.
• Luo Han and Cole joined Takk and the crew for a late-night celebration, then slept after learning that no one had died in the battle.
• The next morning, Takk told Luo Han that they had spotted an island, and Luo Han used his Divine Sense to judge that it was a medium-sized island covered in primeval forest.
• A CP0 captain told the Gorosei that Phil Cole had a Zoan Devil Fruit and Vincent Luo Han had an unidentified Force Field Fruit, after which the Gorosei ordered higher bounties.
• The Gorosei knelt before Lord Im and reported that CP0 had mostly ruled out the Infinite Fruit, though they could not exclude the possibility that Luo Han’s unknown power was connected to it.

The Gorosei searched the World Government archive for the Infinite Fruit and concluded that it might be on a missing island near Bot Island, ordering a search that could put Ring Tree Island at risk. Meanwhile, Luo Han and the others landed on Takk’s island, where Luo Han entered a silent, fog-covered forest to scout for a place to settle.

• The Gorosei read the archive’s records on the Infinite Fruit and found that none of the people mentioned had met Luo Han.
• The Gorosei decided the fruit might be on an island they had never found, and ordered CP agencies to search near Bot Island.
• The swordsman and the long-bearded old man agreed to investigate personally if the island was found, while the Gorosei left the archive expecting Lord Im would soon receive answers.
• Luo Han relaxed on the island’s pebble beach with Cole, then heard Whitebeard say the tide rose at night and the crew needed to find a place to settle.
• Whitebeard sent Luo Han to explore inland while he and Shao stayed by the beach, and Luo Han asked Takk to tell Cole where he had gone.
• Luo Han entered the fog-covered forest under Psychokinesis protection and kept his Divine Sense active as he found no signs of animals or insects.

Luo Han encountered Golden Lion on a mountain range and survived his attacks by using Divine Sense and Psychokinesis to evade the swordsman’s Slash Waves. He flew back toward the coast after Golden Lion stopped pursuing him, reflecting on the mental and physical cost of his abilities and healing his wound.

• Luo Han reached a mountain range, scanned the area, and found Golden Lion approaching after he injured Luo Han’s left arm with a slash.
• Golden Lion questioned Luo Han about why the World Government had sent four CP0 agents to capture him alive, then attacked him with two slashes.
• Luo Han dodged Golden Lion’s slashes and taunted him, explaining that his Observation Haki was stronger.
• Golden Lion unleashed hundreds of Slash Waves with Thousand Cutting Valley, but Luo Han used Divine Sense and Psychokinesis to divert them.
• Luo Han flew toward the coast while keeping his Divine Sense active, and Golden Lion did not follow.
• Luo Han reflected on the heavy energy cost of Bullet Time, healed his wound, and returned to the shore.

After returning from his clash with Golden Lion, Luo Han shared the shore with Whitebeard and the others, then tested a new application of Psychokinesis. Golden Lion contacted Rocks and flew off to pursue his own plans, while Luo Han demonstrated destructive power that astonished everyone.

• Golden Lion decided to recruit powerful subordinates, contacted Rocks, and then flew toward one end of the mountain range.
• Takk offered Luo Han Grandma's old flatbread, which Luo Han passed to Whitebeard, and the two discussed the island's silent interior and flat-topped mountain.
• Luo Han told Takk he would use Psychokinesis to bring both ships along instead of carrying tents.
• Luo Han gathered pebbles into a five-meter sphere and launched them across the sea in a spiraling stream.
• The pebbles carved a ten-meter-wide passage through the sea, leaving Whitebeard and the others stunned by Luo Han's growing power.

Luo Han used his growing Psychokinesis to prepare the Rocks Pirates to leave the strange beach, while Divine Sense let him secretly perceive Sister Shaku and left him embarrassed. Whitebeard noticed Luo Han’s guilty reaction as the group prepared to move inland without Golden Lion.

• Luo Han tested his control over pebbles and told Sister Shaku he had found a mountain range inside the island, where Golden Lion remained.
• Whitebeard and Luo Han agreed that the island seemed dangerous and decided to leave the beach once Sister Shaku had eaten.
• When Golden Lion failed to return, Whitebeard asked Luo Han to move the two pirate ships and the gathered crew inland.
• Luo Han lifted the ships with Psychokinesis and secretly used Divine Sense to perceive Sister Shaku as he raised her aboard.
• Sister Shaku gave Luo Han an amused look, and Whitebeard noticed his embarrassment before jumping onto the ship himself.

Luo Han and Whitebeard reached the mountain summit where they had expected to find Golden Lion, but learned that he had left to lead a team against Roger. Whitebeard decided the crew should train on the island, and they prepared to explore it.

• Luo Han guided the pirate ships through the fog and up to the flat mountain peaks, where the group found no sign of Golden Lion.
• Rocks called Whitebeard and revealed that Golden Lion had contacted him and would lead a team to hunt Roger.

• Luo Han agreed to train with Cole on the island, and Whitebeard proposed that they split up to explore.
• Luo Han arranged for Cole to take Sister Shaku while Whitebeard explored alone, and Sister Shaku asked whether Cole could make people fly.

Luo Han, Whitebeard, and Sister Shaku explored the strange island while Cole revealed the enormous scale of his Zoan transformation. Luo Han surveyed the island from above but found no signs of human habitation, and Whitebeard turned back as night approached.

• Cole transformed into a six-thousand-meter-long Kun, shocking everyone, and Takk urged his companions to cheer for him.
• Luo Han asked Cole to carry Sister Shaku as they explored the right side of the island, while Whitebeard searched the left and Luo Han headed toward the mountains opposite them.
• Luo Han found a vast forest plain, a huge river, abundant wildlife, and no evidence of human activity.
• Luo Han climbed to ten thousand meters and saw that the island resembled a primitive ship, with mountain ranges around a central forest plain and a lake fed by a river.
• Whitebeard explored a forest of enormous trees and fifty- or sixty-meter-tall rooster-like creatures, then headed back as the sky darkened.

Luo Han explored Ark Island with Cole and Sister Shaku but found no traces of people, then joined the crew’s feast after spotting the island’s unsettling shoreline forest. Whitebeard told him to explore the island himself the next day to understand why it was uninhabited, while incoming seawater spread twisted black shadows unnoticed.

• Luo Han, Cole, and Sister Shaku inspected Ark Island and found no signs of human activity.
• Luo Han returned to the ship and learned Takk had brought out Granny’s flatbreads for the feast.
• Luo Han saw that the shoreline trees had tangled, tentacle-like branches and noticed the tide spreading toward the mountains.
• Whitebeard returned and told Luo Han that giant chickens were the island’s most common animals, then suggested he explore the island the next day to understand its mystery.
• Whitebeard started the feast, and the crew raised their cups and cheered.

At a feast on the mountaintop, Luo Han discovered a glowing coastline where countless sea snakes gathered and animals were mysteriously drawn to their deaths. The next morning, he experimented with channeling his physical strength into his Psychokinesis, but found he was missing a necessary medium.

• Cole pointed out aurora-like lights above the coastline, and Luo Han used his Divine Sense to discover dense masses of sea snakes in the forest below.
• Takk noticed the glowing coast, and the others considered going down to see it until Whitebeard and Sister Shaku warned them to stay on the mountaintop.
• Luo Han, Sister Shaku, Cole, and Whitebeard sensed animals crossing the mountain ravines toward the coastal forest, where faint screams followed.
• The next morning, Luo Han stayed awake on the ship's deck and tried to guide his physical strength into his Psychokinesis, but the attempt failed.

Luo Han developed Psychic Armament Mode, which let him merge his physical strength with psychokinesis and move at tremendous speed. He tested his new power against Giant Roosters on the island, then returned to find the fog and sea serpents had reappeared along the coast.

• Luo Han merged his physical strength with psychokinesis, created Psychic Armament Mode, and discovered he could fly and move at extreme speed.
• Luo Han decided to test his new ability on Whitebeard, but found Whitebeard asleep and went into the island instead.
• Luo Han encountered a Giant Rooster that used Armament Haki to smash a tree, then killed it with a single punch.
• Luo Han fought more Giant Roosters and brought five back for the head chef to prepare.
• Luo Han noticed Cole was still asleep and saw that the island's fog had returned, while the sea serpents had disappeared from the forest.

After breakfast, the crew explored Ark Island, where Luo Han used Conqueror's Haki to knock out giant roosters and warned Takk's group to stay near the mountains. He then joined Whitebeard to test his new Psychic Armament Mode, and Whitebeard charged at him after praising his speed.

• Whitebeard announced that the crew would rest on Ark Island for two months before pursuing the Roger Pirates, and four groups set out to explore.
• Luo Han knocked out a flock of giant roosters with Conqueror's Haki and explained the ability to Takk and the others.
• Luo Han warned Takk's group to stay near the mountains and suggested that fighting the roosters might help them awaken Armament Haki.
• Luo Han flew to Whitebeard in Psychic Armament Mode and asked to test his speed against him.
• Luo Han struck at Whitebeard, who blocked the attack and praised his speed before charging at him.

Luo Han trained with Whitebeard on Ark Island, testing his defense and speed against Whitebeard’s Haki and Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Whitebeard agreed to train him for two months, and Luo Han left with a clearer plan to develop his speed and defense.

• Luo Han traded punches with Whitebeard, and Whitebeard’s Haki and Tremor-Tremor Fruit shattered Luo Han’s Psychic Armament.
• Sister Shaku heard the battle and remarked on Luo Han’s rapid improvement, while Cole chased giant roosters and later killed five for dinner.
• After fighting for hours, Luo Han challenged Whitebeard to attack him and dodged a powerful punch by appearing behind him.
• Whitebeard praised Luo Han’s speed and promised to train with him over the next two months, especially to improve his defense.
• Whitebeard explained that speed, attack, and defense defined strength, and Luo Han resolved to push his speed and Psychic Armament Mode while strengthening his Psychokinesis.

Two months after arriving on Ark Island, Luo Han had mastered Psychic Armament Mode and fought Whitebeard in a final battle before their departure. Whitebeard countered Luo Han’s speed with a vibration technique that could lock down space, leaving Luo Han determined to stay cautious and keep his distance from unknown abilities.

• Luo Han agreed to train with Cole the next day, then joined Whitebeard, Cole, and Sister Shaku at the island’s feast.
• Luo Han reflected on his two months of training and told Whitebeard they would leave Ark Island the next morning.
• Whitebeard and Luo Han fought at full strength, with Luo Han using his speed and Whitebeard relying on his defense and attacks.
• Whitebeard used vibrations to briefly trap Luo Han in midair and land a punch, so Luo Han avoided close combat for the rest of the battle.
• Whitebeard warned Luo Han that people and Devil Fruit abilities could counter speed, but Luo Han concluded he could avoid defeat by staying far away.

Luo Han and the crew left the island after a final night of feasting, and Luo Han and Cole received their first bounties. Luo Han then worried that the World Government would investigate Ring Tree Island and expose the people connected to the Mind Fruit, but he knew Rocks would not let them leave his crew.

• Sister Shaku spent the crew’s last night on the island eating and drinking, and Luo Han wondered whether she was the future Aunt Shao.
• Luo Han woke at noon, washed up, and joined the others as they loaded supplies and set the two ships sailing again.
• Takk brought Luo Han and Cole their bounty posters: Cole was named Beast King and received 400 million Beli, while Luo Han received 300 million Beli.
• Takk praised Cole’s higher bounty, and Luo Han dismissed him before Cole encouraged Luo Han to use his full strength next time.
• Luo Han reasoned that the World Government had linked him and Cole to the Mind Fruit and might search for Ring Tree Island, putting Uncle Kate and Uncle Witt at risk.
• Luo Han decided that he could not leave Rocks’s crew without facing brutal retaliation, so he kept his concerns from Cole.

Luo Han learned that he could not return to Ring Tree Island until the Rocks Pirates’ mission ended, six months later, and heard from Whitebeard about Golden Lion’s battles against Roger’s group and the Marines. After the ships reached a prosperous island under Rocks’ rule, a bespectacled young man recognized Cole’s 400-million-Beli bounty poster.

• Luo Han asked Whitebeard how he could return to Ring Tree Island, and Whitebeard explained that Rocks’ mission rules barred him from leaving until the year ended, six months later.
• Whitebeard told Luo Han that Golden Lion had gathered Silver Axe, Ochoku, and others to fight Roger’s Pirates, Garp, and their allies in several three-day battles that ended in draws.
• Whitebeard revealed that Rocks’ original crew included several people as strong as he was, while Luo Han learned that his own ship had no such members.
• Luo Han and Cole arrived at a prosperous island ruled by Rocks and entered its largest restaurant.
• A bespectacled young man found Cole’s bounty poster, read aloud his 400-million-Beli bounty, and asked whether Cole was Lord Cole.

Luo Han and Cole ate at an island restaurant, learned that Rocks Pirates members could eat for free, and returned to Whitebeard’s ship as it set sail toward the island near the Roger Pirates. Later, Luo Han shared wine with Whitebeard and asked what he knew about Roger.

• Bill Bit praised Cole, said he hoped to join his crew someday, and left without acknowledging Luo Han.
• Luo Han and Cole realized they had no money after their meal, but the restaurant owner told them Rocks Pirates members ate free on islands under the crew’s control.

• Whitebeard ordered the ships to set sail, and Luo Han used Illusion to notify Takk.
• Luo Han and Whitebeard drank wine together on the ship’s stern, and Luo Han asked Whitebeard what he knew about Roger.

Luo Han learned that the Roger Pirates were exceptionally powerful as several forces prepared to converge on First Line Island. The Gorosei ordered the Marines to stay out of the coming battle, while Whitebeard, Luo Han, and Cole headed to breakfast unaware of the order.

• Whitebeard warned Luo Han that every Roger Pirate was at least as strong as a Marine Vice Admiral and that Roger was even more formidable.
• Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Ochoku, and other Rocks Pirates planned to attack the Roger Pirates, expecting Whitebeard to arrive as well.
• Sengoku and Zephyr concluded that Roger was on First Line Island and anticipated a three-sided battle involving the Marines, the Rocks Pirates, and Whitebeard's group.

• Luo Han woke aboard Whitebeard's ship, then flew with Cole to Takk's ship for breakfast as Whitebeard watched the sea with unease.

The Roger Pirates prepared to face Golden Lion’s group on First Line Island as Luo Han and Whitebeard approached from another direction. The battle began while Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr watched from a nearby warship under orders not to interfere.

• Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr heard the distant clash and turned their attention toward First Line Island.

Roger and the Roger Pirates fought Golden Lion’s forces on First Line Island while Whitebeard, Luo Han, Cole, and Sister Shaku joined the battle. The fight remained divided between Roger’s clash with Golden Lion and the beach battle, where Luo Han’s sudden punch sent Gaban flying into the forest.

• Roger confirmed Golden Lion’s arrival, and the two clashed on First Line Island as their sword strikes tore through the island and sky.
