Chapter Summaries

Yei mastered Armament Haki hardening while sparring with Garp, then continued toward the Grand Line and stopped at the Baratie Sea Restaurant. After ordering an enormous amount of food, he demonstrated his power by lifting a mass of ocean water and fish into the air to supply the restaurant with ingredients.

• Yei accidentally broke Garp's arm during their spar, healed him, and used the Tenseigan to restore Mount Colubo.
• Yei thanked Garp for helping him master Armament Haki hardening, then left Windmill Village and sailed toward Reverse Mountain.
• Yei recognized the Baratie Sea Restaurant, boarded it, and ordered several dishes from Sanji.
• After enjoying Zeff's cooking, Yei asked Sanji and Zeff to prepare one hundred servings of every menu item and offered to provide the ingredients.
• Yei used the Heavenly Spin of Retribution to lift a section of the sea, then lowered the water and left the fish and Sea Kings floating in the air as extra ingredients.

Yei left to witness Hawk-Eye's duel but encountered Golden Lion Shiki after catching one of Shiki's falling islands. After defeating Shiki in their first exchange, Yei restored him to his prime and invited him to fight at full strength.

• Yei read that Demon Blade Sophis planned to challenge Hawk-Eye for the title of World's Greatest Swordsman and decided to seek out the duel.
• Yei caught a falling island with his Heavenly Spin of Retribution and flew it up to the Sky Islands where Golden Lion Shiki and Indigo were.
• Shiki confronted Yei, and the two clashed with sword strikes until Yei gained the advantage and pointed out that Shiki's injuries and impaired Haki kept him from fighting at full strength.
• Shiki tore the ship's wheel from his head and removed Sakura Ten and Kogarashi from his legs, declaring that he would face Yei with swords.
• Yei used Healing Path: Withered Tree in Spring to heal Shiki, restore his lost legs, and return his body to its prime, then invited him to attack.

Yei fought Golden Lion Shiki to study his Great Swordsman techniques, then revealed a Sword Intent powerful enough to split the sea and carve a ravine through the Red Line. After Shiki recognized the gulf between their strengths, Yei left through a spatial rift, and Shiki laughed at how interesting the world had become.

• Golden Lion Shiki attacked Yei with swordsmanship enhanced by Haki and the Float-Float Fruit, while Yei blocked and countered without using his full strength.
• Golden Lion Shiki realized Yei was holding back and demanded a serious fight, but Yei said no one in the world could make him use his full strength.
• Yei released his overwhelming Sword Intent and sent a slash across the sea, splitting clouds, water, uninhabited islands, and the Red Line.
• Golden Lion Shiki asked whether that strike had been Yei's full strength, then accepted that Yei was a monster and challenged him to continue fighting.
• Yei explained that he had no intention of killing Golden Lion Shiki and had only come to observe his swordsmanship, then left through a spatial rift.
• Golden Lion Shiki watched Yei disappear and laughed that the world was becoming more interesting.

The Marines discussed the recent Grand Line disasters and suspected an Ancient Weapon might be responsible, while Garp privately feared Yei was behind them and warned against provoking him. Sengoku sent Aokiji to monitor Hawkeye Mihawk’s duel with Demon Blade Sophis at Fallen Leaf Island, where Yei watched Mihawk arrive.

• Sengoku convened the Marine leadership to discuss the disasters, and Tsuru, Akainu, Kuzan, and Momonga considered whether humans or an Ancient Weapon had caused them.
• Garp kept his knowledge of Yei secret, while Sengoku and Tsuru noticed his unusual expression and wondered what he knew.
• Sengoku ordered the Marines to investigate the strange events and assigned Aokiji to observe the duel at Fallen Leaf Island.
• Sengoku assigned Kizaru to investigate the Sea Kings that had surrounded Fish-Man Island once its lockdown ended.
• Crowds gathered at Fallen Leaf Island as Demon Blade Sophis and Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk arrived for their duel.
• Yei watched Mihawk arrive and wondered how his swordsmanship compared with Golden Lion Shiki’s.

Hawkeye Mihawk faced Sophis, who challenged him for the title of World's Greatest Swordsman with the Demon Blade Onimaru Cut. After defeating Sophis, Hawkeye turned to Yei and invited him to exchange a few moves.

• Hawkeye noticed Yei watching from a secluded spot and saw through the illusion hiding him.
• Sophis revealed Onimaru Cut and challenged Hawkeye, hoping to avenge his previous defeat and claim the title of World's Greatest Swordsman.
• Hawkeye and Sophis exchanged dangerous sword strikes while the spectators retreated from the shockwaves.
• Yei judged that Hawkeye had the advantage and observed that Onimaru Cut was affecting Sophis's mind.
• Hawkeye cut through Sophis's enormous crimson slash, defeated him with a single crossing strike, and then invited Yei to exchange a few moves.

Yei accepted Hawkeye's invitation to spar and revealed swordsmanship powerful enough to match the World's Greatest Swordsman. Aokiji arrived at Fallen Leaf Island, where the duel continued as he began freezing the fleeing pirates with Ice Age.

• Hawkeye saw through Yei's illusion and invited him to spar, and Yei stepped out and accepted.
• Yei and Hawkeye exchanged powerful slashes and sword strikes, and Hawkeye praised Yei's Haki, swordsmanship, and physique.
• Aokiji arrived at Fallen Leaf Island and discovered that an unfamiliar swordsman, not Sophis, was fighting Hawkeye.
• Aokiji confronted the pirates gathered on the island, prompting them to flee as Yei and Hawkeye continued their duel.
• Aokiji used Ice Age to unleash freezing power across the area and trap the fleeing pirates.

Aokiji captured most of the criminals at the illegal gathering, then confronted Hyuga Yeiichi over his apparent connection to Golden Lion Shiki. When Aokiji attacked, Yeiichi killed him with a Cero, leaving the Marines without their Admiral.

• Aokiji froze and captured most of the pirates and criminals, while Marines caught several who escaped his initial attack.
• Aokiji recognized Golden Lion Shiki's sword techniques in Yeiichi's fighting and interrupted Yeiichi's duel with Dracule Mihawk.
• Yeiichi said he had met and fought Golden Lion Shiki once, then ended his spar with Mihawk, who accepted defeat and learned Yeiichi's name.
• Aokiji stopped Yeiichi from leaving and prepared to attack because he suspected Yeiichi was connected to Golden Lion Shiki.
• Yeiichi repelled Aokiji's freezing attack and fired a Cero through Aokiji's awakened ice shield, annihilating him.

Yei killed Aokiji with a single Cero and left Mihawk convinced that the world might be facing a god. At Marine Headquarters, Garp warned Sengoku not to provoke Yei and revealed that he might be a true god, leaving the Marines unsure how to respond.

• Yei realized his Cero had bypassed Aokiji's Haki and Devil Fruit powers, killing him, and told Mihawk he would destroy anyone who provoked him.
• Yei and Mihawk departed, while the Marines who had witnessed Aokiji's death panicked and sent news to Marine Headquarters.
• Sengoku learned that Yei had killed Aokiji in one strike and recognized him from a photograph as the man Garp had warned him about.
• Garp told Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru that Yei was far more powerful than Whitebeard, Roger, or Rocks and might be a true god.
• Sengoku tested Garp's strength in a spar and discovered that Yei had restored Garp to beyond his prime, then told Zephyr that Aokiji had died.
• Sengoku returned to the meeting room troubled by the possibility that Yei was a god and uncertain how the Marines should respond.

The World Government identified Yei as a suspected Three-Eye Tribe member linked to recent “miracles” and issued him a record 1.5 billion Berries bounty. The news reached Shimotsuki Village and Golden Lion Shiki, who prepared to return to the seas as the world moved toward a new upheaval.

• The Five Elders discussed Yei’s suspected connection to the Revolutionary Army and ancient weapons, then ordered a worldwide warrant and set his first bounty at 1.5 billion Berries.
• News Coos spread the report that Yei had defeated Hawkeye Mihawk and killed Aokiji, naming him the new World's Greatest Swordsman.
• Koshiro read the bounty report and worried that the World Government had provoked Yei, then warned himself that the Revolutionary Army must not use his name to cause trouble.
• Kuina and Zoro celebrated Yei’s news before debating whether they could surpass their teacher and resuming their sparring.
• Golden Lion Shiki read the report, declared that the World Government was inviting disaster, and called his followers to return to the seas.

After Yei killed Aokiji and defeated Hawkeye, the news reached the New World, where Kaido, Big Mom, Whitebeard, and the Red Hair Pirates considered the upheaval and what it might mean. Big Mom ordered Katakuri to capture Yei, while Shanks wondered whether the new arrival would make the New World even harder to stabilize.

• Kaido celebrated the news of Yei’s rise and ordered Ember King to watch Red Hair Shanks and push back any expansion toward their territory.
• Big Mom ordered her crew to capture Yei and assigned Katakuri to bring him to her.
• Whitebeard discussed the chaotic new era and the unexplained miracles with his crew before starting a party; Blackbeard secretly vowed to surpass him and obtain a certain fruit.
• A messenger told the Red Hair Pirates that Yei had killed Aokiji, defeated Hawkeye, and taken the title of World's Greatest Swordsman.
• Shanks read Yei’s report and bounty of 1.5 billion Berries, then reflected that the New World might be difficult to stabilize.

Yei transformed the resentful spirits trapped beneath Mary Geoise into nearly two hundred Hollows and sent them rampaging through the Holy Land. As the Five Elders mistook the creatures for awakened Zoan users and ordered reinforcements, the Hollows killed guards and Celestial Dragons, including two who had tried to capture them.

• Yei opened a spatial rift above Mary Geoise and discovered the abused slaves and resentful spirits in its underground prisons.
• Yei empowered the spirits, transforming nearly two hundred of them into Hollows that targeted the World Government personnel responsible for their deaths.
• The Hollows tore through the prisons and charged into the Holy Land, killing guards, officials, and some Celestial Dragons while leaving no bodies when they were slain.
• The Five Elders received a photograph of the Hollows, mistook them for awakened Zoan users, and ordered Kong to mobilize the Marines and summon CP agents.
• Two Celestial Dragons ordered their men to capture the Hollows, but the monsters killed their guards and tore the two nobles apart.

Monsters rampaged through Mary Geoise, growing stronger by devouring one another as World Government and Marine forces fought to stop them. With five near-Admiral-level monsters still attacking, two of the Five Elders transformed and set out to end the disaster, while the others suspected a hidden enemy was behind it.

• CP0 Chief rescued Saint Heroi and fought the monsters, discovering that they grew stronger by devouring the mist left by their dead.
• The monsters dwindled to five, each gaining powerful energy attacks and strength comparable to a Marine Admiral as they destroyed part of Mary Geoise.
• Commander-in-Chief Kong transformed into his awakened Zoan form and battled a monster, while Kizaru arrived and attacked another with Yasakani no Magatama.
• The Five Elders discussed the monsters’ unknown origins and feared the consequences if they could keep growing stronger.
• Science Defense God of War and Environment God of War transformed and departed to fight, while Finance God of War, Agricultural God of War, and Legal God of War searched for the person plotting the attack.

Yei entered the Room of Flowers and confronted Im, whose Hollow power and Cero came from Uranus. After effortlessly erasing her attack, he revealed Uranus and claimed that his power had created the world, leaving Im terrified and wondering whether he had caused the earlier lunar anomaly.

• Yei observed that Kong and two of the Five Elders had developed Hollow traits, then traveled to the Room of Flowers to meet Im.
• Im unleashed her Conqueror's Haki and fired a Cero at Yei, but he ignored the Haki and erased the beam.
• Im recognized that Yei had erased Uranus's source power, while Yei explained that the Hollow power she used was his own.
• Yei used Heavenly Spin of Retribution to locate Uranus, pull the enormous Hollow-like dragon from its hiding place, and bring it before Im.
• Yei bound Im, called himself a god and the world's Creator, and Im asked whether he had caused the earlier anomaly on the moon.

Yei awakened Uranus and revealed that it was born from his power, gaining complete control over it and forcing Im to acknowledge him as the Creator. He then explained that he had empowered resentful souls to become Hollows and left the World Government to choose whether to defeat them or let them destroy the place.

• Yei used Rejuvenating Touch to awaken Uranus, whose power had been suppressed through Im's connection to it.
• Uranus attacked Im, but Yei ordered it to be quiet and sit, and it could not resist his commands.
• Yei told Uranus that it had been born from his power and asserted that he was this world's Creator; Uranus accepted his authority and called him its lord.
• Im knelt before Yei and asked whether he intended to destroy the World Government, and Yei said he had come because its people had placed a bounty on him.
• Yei explained that he had empowered resentful souls to become Hollows and gave the World Government a choice: defeat the rampaging monsters or let them destroy the place.

Yei revealed that the Hollows were part of a game and left Im to face the Gillian Menos Grande. The Gillian’s Cero devastated Mary Geoise, and Im met it with her own Cero, triggering an explosion that destroyed Pangaea Castle and shook the Red Line.

• Yei explained that the Hollows came from another world, transformed the five battling Hollows into a Gillian, and challenged Im to defeat it or see the World Government destroyed.
• Yei took Uranus through a spatial rift as Im went to confront the Gillian, while the World Government forces and freed slaves watched in terror or excitement.
• The Gillian unleashed a Cero that overwhelmed the defenders and swept toward Pangaea Castle.
• The Finance God of War, the Legal God of War, and the Agricultural God of War attacked the beam but were thrown through the castle.
• Im transformed into a masked salamander dragon and fired her own Cero, colliding with the Gillian’s beam and erasing Pangaea Castle in a catastrophic explosion.

After the Gillian devastated Mary Geoise, Im ordered the Five Elders to defeat it as part of a game, while Yei watched from Uranus and discussed travel between worlds. The Gillian regenerated from their combined attacks just as Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and other Marines arrived at the ruined Holy Land.

• The Gillian's attack destroyed most of Mary Geoise, leaving Im, Kizaru, Kong, the CP0 Chief, and the Five Elders injured or shaken.
• The Five Elders knelt before Im, and she ordered them to defeat the Gillian at any cost without asking about the person behind the game.
• The Five Elders combined their abilities to restrain and attack the Gillian, but it survived and rapidly healed its wounds.
• Yei told Uranus that breaking through a world barrier required planet-destroying power, while surviving the space between worlds was even harder.
• Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and other Marines reached Mary Geoise and were shocked by the devastation and the Gillian.

The Marines and Five Elders joined forces against the Menos Grande, which absorbed Im’s Cero and evolved into a stronger form. Yei revealed that the form would last only three minutes and challenged them to hold it back; as they launched their attack, the Menos Grande overwhelmed them with rapid Hollow Bullets.

• Kizaru told Sengoku and the others that five monsters had fused into the Menos Grande, while Garp suspected Yei was responsible.
• The Menos Grande struck at the Five Elders, and Garp, Kizaru, and Sengoku counterattacked together, knocking it down.
• Im fired Uranus’s Cero at the fallen Menos Grande, which protected itself with Negación and absorbed the scattered energy.
• The Menos Grande shrank, gained full-body bone armor, and grew stronger; Yei announced that the evolved form would last three minutes and called the fight a game.
• Im ordered everyone to hold the monster back, and the Five Elders, Marines, and injured World Government fighters charged together.
• The Menos Grande fired a barrage of Hollow Bullets that the Finance God of War partly deflected, but the attacks blasted nearly everyone back.

The Great Hollow overwhelmed the World Government forces, critically wounding the Agricultural God of War and targeting Im as they tried to stall for time. Im revealed her Life Fruit power to heal her allies, shifting the battle in their favor as Yei recognized the source of Im’s longevity and control over Uranus.

• Kizaru, Garp, and the World Government forces attacked the Great Hollow, but it endured their barrage and rapidly healed its injuries.
• The Great Hollow dragged the Agricultural God of War in and struck him critically, then fired a Cero at Im that she blocked at the cost of injuring her arm.
• Im used pale-green life energy to heal the wounded, stabilizing the Agricultural God of War and restoring the forces’ ability to fight.
• Yei recognized Im’s ability as power from the Life Fruit and concluded that the time limit on the Great Hollow made the World Government’s victory likely.
• Uranus accused Im of stealing the Mother Tree’s primordial life and enslaving it, while Yei connected the Life Fruit to Im’s longevity and power.

Im and the World Government forces fought the Great Hollow as the three-minute battle limit ran down. Just as Im and the Great Hollow unleashed their final attacks, Yei appeared, erased both attacks, and declared the World Government the winner.

• Im restored the injured fighters and ordered them to keep attacking the Great Hollow, while Garp told Tsuru that Yei had caused the chaos.
• The Great Hollow broke through the fighters’ combined assault with a devastating shockwave, then fought Im as she transformed into a salamander dragon and used her recovery powers to stall it.
• Garp, Sengoku, Kizaru, and the remaining fighters joined forces to restrain the Great Hollow, but its attacks left only a few of them standing as the timer neared its end.
• Kizaru blinded the Great Hollow long enough for Garp and Sengoku to strike, but the monster recovered and prepared a powerful Cero against Im.
• Im called down sixteen beams with her God Slayer attack as the Great Hollow fired its Cero, but the three-minute limit expired and Yei appeared, erased both attacks, and announced the World Government’s victory.

Yei revealed himself as the Creator, ended the World Government’s crisis, and agreed to revive Aokiji in exchange for a Logia-type Devil Fruit. After retrieving Aokiji’s spirit from the underworld and overcoming the world’s rejection, Yei restored him to life.

• Yei dispelled the Menos Grande’s attack, and Imu, the Five Elders, and the World Government survivors knelt before him as the Creator.
• Yei told Imu he would not hold the World Government accountable, then departed on Uranus while the Marines and Garp watched.
• Garp asked Yei about reviving Aokiji, and Yei offered to do so in exchange for a Logia-type Devil Fruit.
• Imu provided the Air Fruit from the World Government treasury, and Yei stored it before beginning the revival.
• Yei used his eyes to find the underworld, pulled out Aokiji’s spirit, overcame the world’s rejection, and restored Aokiji to life.
