Chapter Summaries

Dragon received an Eternal Pose and a powerful bomb from Vegapunk while the Straw Hat Pirates fought CP0 and S-Snake on Bullet Island. S-Snake petrified several of Luffy’s companions, and Dragon refused to help his son, saying hardship would make him grow.

• Vegapunk gave Dragon an Eternal Pose and a key to a bomb more than ten times stronger than Dyna Stone.

• S-Snake petrified Sanji, Chopper, Princess Vivi, and Brook, while Nami stopped Luffy from attacking her because she alone could reverse the petrification.
• Lin Qi questioned Dragon for not helping Luffy, and Dragon said he was willing to let his son suffer if it helped him grow.

• The Kizaru clones slashed Luffy and drew blood, so Joy Boy told him to retreat and defeat them one by one.

• Lin Qi recognized Saori Palace, Qiuyue Gong, and Saint Eugene among the Celestial Dragons and Knights of God who arrived, while Bullet and Saint Pete continued fighting.

Bonney awakened her Age-Age Fruit and transformed into Nika Form, while Tom intercepted Saint Saturn. As Bonney moved to attack a Knight of God, Lin Qi prepared to face the remaining three opponents.

• Lin Qi said he would face the three remaining Knights of God, and Saori Palace revealed the dress beneath her gauzy outer layer.

Saori Palace, Saint Eugene, and the ram-headed man attacked Lin Qi, but his extraordinary durability blunted most of their assault. Saori Palace eventually wounded him by concentrating her telekinesis into three knives, while Lin Qi recognized the ram-headed man’s black flames as resembling Four-Yellow Brook’s Yellow Springs Flame.

• Saori Palace launched seven Seastone throwing knives at Lin Qi as Saint Eugene prepared a sniper rifle and the ram-headed man charged with a flaming scythe.
• Lin Qi caught the knives aimed at his crotch and endured the others with his Armament Haki and tough physique.

• The ram-headed man struck Lin Qi with his scythe, but Heart Crossing devoured the black flames that tried to spread onto Lin Qi’s arm.
• Lin Qi noticed that the ram-headed man’s flames resembled the Yellow Springs Flame displayed by Four-Yellow Brook.

Lin Qi endured Saori Palace’s relentless attacks while Saint Saturn ordered the Seraphim and Pacifistas to attack the Revolutionary Army and Vegapunk. The Empress faced S-Snake, recognized their connection, and fought her despite realizing the clone was compelled to kill.

• Saori Palace’s flying knives repeatedly wounded Lin Qi, but his rapid healing made her attacks ineffective, so she withdrew six knives and charged him herself.

Lin Qi and Bonney turned the third-generation Pacifistas against the World Government’s landing force, while Saint Saturn realized Vegapunk had secretly placed Bonney above the Five Elders in their authority system.

• The 130,000-strong force kept pressing forward until the Pacifistas were forced into close combat.
• Lin Qi called for Judge, and transmission windows opened as Judge’s identical-faced soldiers marched onto Bullet Island.

Lin Qi deployed five hundred Mystic Armor Guards, whose advanced clone technology and combat suits turned the battle for Bullet Island against the World Government forces. As the Guards and Pacifistas overwhelmed the enemy, Lin Qi tried to persuade S-Snake to stop fighting, prompting Saint Saturn to dismiss the attempt.

• Lin Qi ordered the five hundred Mystic Armor Guards to drive the enemy forces off Bullet Island.
• The Guards used lightning, fire, stealth, poison, and enhanced strength to rout the assaulting army and kill a CP0 elite.
• Saint Saturn recognized the Guards as clones and feared that West Sea technology had surpassed the World Government's, while a muscular cat kept him occupied.
• Vegapunk praised Lin Qi's Guards, and Lin Qi called to S-Snake to stop fighting as he battled the three Knights of God.
• Saint Saturn sneered because he believed S-Snake's authority chip would prevent her from listening to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi used S-Snake’s inherited love for the Empress to make her stop fighting and ignore her control chip, leaving Vegapunk baffled by the power of emotion. Meanwhile, Bullet continued to batter Saint Pete, who struggled to retaliate.

• S-Snake saw Lin Qi, blushed, and stepped aside after he asked her to stop fighting, allowing the Empress to pass.
• Saint Saturn blamed Vegapunk for secretly tampering with S-Snake, while Vegapunk wondered how Lin Qi had made her defy her control chip.

• Bullet struck Saint Pete repeatedly and mocked him as the Five Elders member struggled to fight back.

• Joy Boy assimilated the First Generation Kitetsu when Saint Nashuro thrust it into Luffy, leaving Luffy unharmed.

As Luffy’s stolen vitality forced Joy Boy to activate the Drums of Liberation again, Vegapunk found an ancient illustration matching Luffy’s Nika Form beside a gigantic robot.

• Saint Maz failed to pull Luffy’s soul out, and Joy Boy kicked him away before Dragon arrived to protect Luffy and attack him.
• Saint Maz overpowered Dragon and destroyed his prosthetic limbs, but Dragon formed phantom limbs from wind and challenged the two Five Elders to another round.
• Kizaru fought Jerry in Kizaru Form as they traded matching light attacks and weapons, while Jerry irritated Kizaru by mimicking him.
• Saint Nashuro revealed that his Ghost Qi stole life force, causing Luffy to age rapidly, so Joy Boy used Luffy’s lifespan to activate the Drums of Liberation and restore him.
