Chapter Summaries

Vegapunk’s worldwide broadcast revealed the Seraphim’s power and warned that the world would soon be submerged, with the Red Line Continent as the only safe place.

The Revolutionary Army watched the battle on Onigashima and recognized a possible opening against the World Government, while Sabo experienced a strange flicker of recognition at Seraphim Ace and Seraphim Luffy.

• Garp’s fist came within a finger’s breadth of Wes’s face as the Five Elders expected the punch to kill him.
