Chapter Summaries

Bright brought Garp, Tsuru, and the Marines who had broken with the World Government to a hidden island, where they committed to fighting Imu and creating a new order. After leaving them to prepare, Bright returned to Fish-Man Island to train and build strength for the approaching war.

• Bright brought Garp and the other Marine leaders to a deserted island where thousands of Marines were gathered.
• The Marines declared that the World Government had become their enemy and vowed to pursue true justice in the coming war.
• Bright left after promising that logistics teams would bring supplies, and Tsuru and Garp assured the Marines that he could be trusted.
• The Marines reflected on their past conflict with Bright and Fisher Tiger, then agreed to prepare for war.
• Bright returned to Fish-Man Island, continued training as his forces grew, and quickly succeeded in his training.

Bright mastered Observation Killer and began considering how to detect someone using it, while the World Government prepared to attack Fish-Man Island. Im ordered the destruction of Eve and the relocation of Mary Geoise.

• Bright tested Observation Killer on Queen Otohime and successfully stopped her from hearing his inner voice.
• Bright planned to train with Red-Hair and try to trace an opponent's Observation Haki through the disrupted presence.
• The Five Elders told Im that the undersea troops were nearly ready and proposed sending them against Fish-Man Island.
• Im rejected their plan and ordered them to destroy Eve and prepare to relocate Mary Geoise.

Lord Im used the Final Weapon to bombard the Red Line, destroying Mary Geoise and opening a breach directly above Fish-Man Island. As falling rock threatened to crush the island, Bright rushed upward to stop the disaster.

• Bright and the people of Fish-Man Island prepared for war while the island remained peaceful.
• World Government officials and Celestial Dragons evacuated Mary Geoise into temporary settlements deeper in the Red Line.
• Lord Im fired the colossal Straw Hat-shaped ship’s beams into the Red Line, vaporizing Mary Geoise and blasting open the wall.
• While training with Red-Hair in the Sea Forest, Bright sensed the attack and heard the deep sea rumble.
• Bright transformed and shot upward as chunks of the collapsing Red Line began falling toward Fish-Man Island.

Bright realized Imu was destroying the Red Line to bury Fish-Man Island and raced to protect it. He enlisted Shirahoshi and used his awakened Flame Clouds to catch the collapsing rock, but the avalanche continued to overwhelm him.

• Bright concluded that Imu had chosen to abandon Mary Geoise and collapse the Red Line onto Fish-Man Island.

• Bright caught falling boulders and tried to block the surrounding rock avalanche, but the growing collapse began to strain him.
• Reinforcements arrived as Bright struggled to keep the rocks from burying Fish-Man Island.

Bright and the Sea Kings stopped the falling rocks and surging stone from destroying Fish-Man Island, but Imu’s bombardment had made the island unsafe. Bright and Queen Otohime began evacuating everyone aboard Noah so Shirahoshi could lead them to a new home on the surface.

• Alexander and the Sea Kings arrived to help Bright block falling rocks and stop the torrents of stone surrounding Fish-Man Island.

• The people accepted the evacuation, gathered their belongings, and began the great migration toward Noah.

Fish-Man Island’s residents evacuated onto Noah while Bright and the Sea Kings shielded them from falling rocks. When Imu’s bombardment stirred violent whirlpools that threatened the island, Bright called on Pluto for help.

• Jinbe directed the residents into Noah and told Bright that the evacuation would take a little over an hour.
• Bright asked Jinbe to maintain order while he and the Sea Kings continued blocking falling rocks.

Bright brought Pluto into the sea battle against Imu’s Final Weapon, setting up a direct clash between the ancient warships. The chapter ended with both sides firing their main guns at once.

• Bright and Pluto rose from the deep sea, and Pluto assured Bright that its firepower could match Imu’s Final Weapon.

The Sabaody Archipelago was destroyed by the Red Line’s collapse and a vast tsunami as Bright and Imu fought above the sea. After learning that the enemy warship’s shield was its greatest strength, Bright and Pluto exchanged fire with it until Vegapunk reported that everyone had boarded Noah and the Sea Kings were towing it away.

• The Red Line was blasted open, causing the Sabaody Archipelago to break apart and its survivors to cling to floating mangrove trees.
• A clash of beams between the distant warships created a huge explosion and tsunami that swept away the remaining survivors.

• Bright used clouds to maneuver Pluto and evade attacks while Pluto maintained its shield, bringing their battle to a stalemate.
• Pluto received Vegapunk’s message that everyone had boarded Noah and the Sea Kings were towing it from Fish-Man Island, so Bright prepared to leave the battlefield.

Bright and Pluto fought their way past Im’s floating warship and escaped into the New World. Bright then headed back to Fish-Man Island to retrieve Vegapunk’s laboratory and the unfinished Pluto Unit 2 before the coming final battle.

• Bright ordered Pluto to fire all its cannons while he raced through the shattered Red Line toward the New World.

• Bright watched Fish-Man Island disappear into darkness as its artificial sun illuminated Noah’s departure.

Bright discussed how Fish-Man Island’s refugees would stay safe after relocating, proposing a deserted island and measures to prevent spies from exposing their location.

• Bright used Observation Haki to notice the humans from Fish-Man Island who had fled with the others and were now cut off from outside contact.

After Fish-Man Island was destroyed, Bright and the survivors began rebuilding on a deserted island while the New Navy and Revolutionary Army considered the threat posed by Imu. They learned that the World Government and Celestial Dragons had vanished from Mary Geoise, leaving their next move unknown, and agreed to prepare for the coming battle.
