Chapter Summaries

Monroe explained that his Debt-Debt Fruit turned his attacks into debts that doubled every thirty seconds, draining his opponents’ stamina until they could injure him to repay them. The group attacked, but Monroe remained unharmed and chose to let their debts grow; Bonney ended with the highest debt at 4800 points.

• Lucci, Kaku, Bonney, and Kuma saw bubbles marked with numbers above their heads, and the numbers doubled as they began to feel their stamina drain.
• Monroe revealed that his Loan Shark Fruit made debts double every thirty seconds, with injuries to him reducing the debt.
• Moria trapped the battlefield in a Shadow Treasure Chest while Tesoro, Doflamingo, Kuma, Bonney, Lucci, Kaku, and the others attacked Monroe.
• Monroe escaped the attacks unharmed, broke out of Moria’s shadow, and decided to wait for the group’s interest to accumulate.
• The debts rose again after thirty seconds, leaving Bonney with 4800 points, Kuma with 3200, and Crocodile with 600.

After the Red Count exposed Rocks as Blackbeard, the World Government forces withdrew from several battles, leaving Rocks to pursue Poseidon on Fish-Man Island. Katakuri killed the remaining Whitebeard Pirates who had opposed him, and they died expressing relief at finally being able to see Pops again.

• Saint Gorosei told Green Bull Saint that Blackbeard was actually Rocks, so Green Bull Saint withdrew after trading Saint Eugene for Bullet and the other defeated fighters.
• Tom treated Bullet while the World Government forces left; in Qingzhou, Saint Saturn teleported away with Deke, and Gion and Fujitora decided to retreat as well.

• Rocks struck Ilulu with Sky Quake, badly injuring her, but she pretended to be dead and secretly began recovering.
• Katakuri pierced Brahmank, Ramank, Bluenheim, Curiel, Kingdew, Haruta, Atmos, Jiru, and Fossa with his mochi trident; they accepted their deaths and said they wanted to see Pops again.

Burgess betrayed Rocks to defend Blackbeard, but Rocks killed him, leaving Blackbeard grieving and distracted. As Rocks threatened Neptune and Queen Otohime to force them to reveal Poseidon, Shirahoshi awakened her power and summoned the Sea Kings, turning the battle against the Blackbeard Pirates.

• Burgess struck Rocks to protect Blackbeard, but Rocks reverted Burgess from diamond to human and killed him.
• Distracted by Burgess's death, Blackbeard was slashed by Lafitte, who urged Rocks to finish the fight before the Five Elders could return.

• The Sea Kings killed Lafitte, swallowed Stronger, Pegasus, and Doc Q, carried Neptune and Queen Otohime to safety, and swallowed Rocks, while Aokiji froze two attackers.

Rocks fled after Lin Qi’s group arrived at Fish-Man Island, but Lin Qi rescued Shirahoshi from the uncontrolled effects of Poseidon’s power. Using fragments of Blackbeard’s Life Paper, the group tracked Rocks and pursued him for a week, leaving him injured and still on the run.

• Rocks escaped from the Sea King that swallowed him and tried to seize Poseidon’s power, but retreated when Lin Qi, Gion, Enel, and Zephyr arrived.
• Lin Qi discovered that Shirahoshi’s unconscious power was controlling the Sea Kings, woke Fanche Star, and knocked Shirahoshi unconscious to stop her power.
• Lin Qi left Shirahoshi in Fanche Star’s care and reunited with the others, who had lost Rocks because Van Augur teleported him away.
• Lin Qi revealed fragments of Blackbeard’s Life Paper, allowing the group to track Rocks and pursue him without killing him if they could help it.
• Over the next week, Rocks and Aokiji repeatedly fought Lin Qi’s group while Van Augur recovered his stamina, and Rocks noticed three days before the chapter ended that his pursuers kept finding him.

Rocks realized Blackbeard’s body let the West Sea track him, but neither the World Government nor the Celestial Dragons would help him escape. After half a month of pursuit, Lin Qi’s group found Rocks dead in a cave and discovered that Aokiji had infiltrated the Blackbeard Pirates to kill him.

• Rocks realized Blackbeard’s Life Paper let the West Sea track him, then fled with Aokiji, Shiryu, and Van Augur as Lin Qi’s group pursued them.

• Lin Qi’s group entered a blood-soaked cave and found Van Augur and Shiryu impaled by ice, Rocks beheaded, and Aokiji dying from a wound that had split him in two.
• Aokiji told Zephyr that his sneak attack on Rocks had succeeded, and Zephyr realized Aokiji had infiltrated the Blackbeard Pirates to kill Rocks rather than betray him.

After Aokiji killed Rocks and the other major enemies, Lin Qi’s group dealt with their losses and began rebuilding the West Sea. Aokiji later returned with Supernovas whom Doc Q’s Sickness-Sickness Fruit had transformed into women.

• Red Count tried to collect blood from Rocks’s corpse, while Zephyr mourned Aokiji until Lin Qi revealed Aokiji still had a breath and healed him with blood.
• Aokiji woke, warned Lin Qi not to become like Rocks, and left despite Enel’s anger; Lin Qi’s group accepted that the Devil Fruits and chance to restore Blackbeard’s original body were lost.
• Lin Qi ordered a search for Devil Fruits, repairs to the West Sea, and the extermination of the Blackbeard Pirates; Blackbeard asked him to resurrect his other sister when he had enough resources.
• Zephyr returned to the New Navy, Lin Qi visited Little Shirahoshi, and news of Rocks’s defeat brought crowds to the West Sea.
• Aokiji returned carrying imprisoned Supernovas transformed into women by Doc Q’s Sickness-Sickness Fruit, and Lin Qi had their Seastone restraints removed.

At the West Sea victory banquet, Lin Qi dealt with the drunken antics of Tsunade and the others while Kozuki Hiyori maneuvered to get close to him. Hiyori pretended to become drunk in his arms, secretly excited and nervous about what might happen next.

• Hiyori, pretending to sleep, felt excited that her plan had worked and nervous about her impending first time.

Sabo and Ace asked Lin Qi to include them and Luffy in his future campaign against the World Government, while Law, Kid, Apu, and Bege feared they had overheard a secret. After Lin Qi spent the night with Kozuki Hiyori, news came that Luffy had reached Final Island, deciphered the apocalypse tablet, and rejected the title of Pirate King in favor of Adventure King.

• Sabo and Ace thanked Lin Qi for avenging the Whitebeard Pirates and asked to join his future fight against the World Government on behalf of themselves and Luffy.
• Lin Qi stopped Ace and Sabo from cutting off their fingers and promised to notify them when the time came; Law, Kid, Apu, and Bege worried they would be silenced for overhearing.

Luffy wandered through the Imperial Capital of the West Sea and, impressed by its prosperity and happy people, debated with Joy Boy whether the D Nation needed rebuilding. He decided to protect the West Sea, but doctors arrived to take him in for psychiatric care.

Vegapunk’s report revealed that the world’s upheaval would arrive in two months, prompting everyone to seek help relocating their loved ones to the West Sea.

Lin Qi reviewed the Eternal Coffin’s resurrection rules and, reassured that it could protect his allies, decided to act without hesitation. He gathered his forces and announced a decisive battle against the World Government, with only two months left before the world would be submerged.

• Lin Qi examined the Eternal Coffin, which could resurrect one player’s NPCs at a cost of reduced strength or 500 million Gold Coins for a perfect resurrection, but could not resurrect the player.
