• On the way to the warehouse, Ra learned that Wright had been a scholar from Ohara who specialized in ancient writing.
• Ra and Wright reached the newly built office beside the warehouse where Oshi and the others were working.

• Burufatt announced that the banquet was about to begin, and King invited everyone to soak in the hot springs first.

Oshi and Obe soaked in a hot spring before joining the Beasts Pirates’ banquet, where Oshi challenged Burufatt to an arm-wrestling match and secretly took his money to let him win. Obe spotted the trick and claimed half the proceeds, while Oshi covered for them by praising Burufatt’s honor.

• Oshi, Obe, and Ra relaxed in the women’s hot spring, where Oshi tried to sneak into the men’s bath to get revenge on King.

At a banquet, Kaido appointed Skypegate as a Beasts Pirates cadre but required him to survive the crew’s challenge trial. Kaido also named Oshi and Obe cadres, and the pirates charged at Skypegate while Oshi watched.

• Kaido welcomed Skypegate and appointed him the Beasts Pirates’ fourth cadre, explaining that he had to accept any challenges and keep the position by winning.
• Skypegate agreed to face challengers, hoping to improve the standing of the Foll Pirates, but hesitated when Oshi volunteered and he heard about her strength.
• Skypegate decided to concede, but Kaido interrupted him and named Oshi and Obe cadres for their contributions in the last operation.
• Oshi prepared to fight, but the pirates swarmed toward Skypegate instead, leaving Oshi and Obe watching.

Skypegate defeated more than two hundred challengers and retained his officer position, then collapsed from exhaustion. Ra proposed a meeting to establish a management system for the growing Beasts Pirates, but told Kaido she had no interest in leading them and planned to pursue ordinary pursuits instead.

• Skypegate transformed into a crazed goat and defeated the final challenger, securing his officer position before fainting from exhaustion.

• Ra took her leave, while Kaido wondered what she truly wanted.

• Ra proposed a hierarchy of captain, core officers, mid-level officers, and rank-and-file members, with one-hundred-person combat groups stationed on affiliated islands.

• Kaido offered Skypegate the choice of becoming a core officer or keeping his crew together as an island garrison.
• Skypegate chose to remain with the Foll Pirates, and Kaido assigned them to Hati Island, where Skypegate pledged their loyalty to the Beasts.

The Beasts Pirates established a new command structure and spent nearly a month organizing personnel, officers, and island garrisons. Taolong received a Letter of Appointment promoting him to Skull Island garrison officer, and he left the tavern celebrating his new rank.

• Kaido approved a management structure with five core officers, rotating mid-level officers, stationed combat squads, and affiliated crews assigned to guard islands.

• A headscarfed pirate brought Taolong a sealed box containing a glowing Military Token and a Letter of Appointment from Kaido.
• The headscarfed pirate read that Taolong had been promoted to garrison officer of Skull Island and given a Military Token, one million Berries, and authority over the island's taxes and garrison.
• Taolong rushed into the street, shouting that he had become an officer.

Ra formalized the Beasts' officer appointments to make the crew take its reforms seriously, while also indulging her new interest in wood carving and removing herself from routine affairs. She assigned Burufatt to the combat department and left as the crew's executive secretary, calling herself “GCMG.”

• Burufatt complained that Ra's formal appointments had made Beasts members targets of public attention, while Ra defended the ceremony and gave Oshi a carved Sky Dragon figurine.
• Ra explained that she had planned the appointment ceremony to strengthen the Beasts' order and cohesion, though her real motive was to pursue wood carving and quit handling miscellaneous crew affairs.
• Ra asked Burufatt which department he wanted to oversee, and he chose the combat department.
• Ra told the officers to draw lots for the remaining departments and said she had no department of her own.
• Obe explained that Ra would serve as Kaido's executive secretary, and Ra departed after suggesting they call her “GCMG.”

Ra translated Wright’s navigation log and discovered that the legendary Sky Island and its gold might be real, prompting her to arrange an expedition. She sent King to lead Wright and trusted crew members toward Paradise while she stayed behind.

• Wright bid farewell to Skypegate as the Foll Pirates prepared to leave for their assigned base.
• Ra gave Wright her translation of the navigation log, and he recognized its references to Angel Island, the White Sea, and Noland’s legend of gold in the sky.

• Oshi questioned Vista about his background and loyalty, and King confirmed that he did not seem to be lying.
• Ra arrived and learned that King and Oshi had been screening new pirates and had caught several Marine and World Government spies.
• Ra told King to choose trustworthy crew members and travel to Paradise to verify whether the Golden Land existed, bringing Wright and occupying Shandora if they found it.
• Ra instructed King to finish screening the crew, retain a few gullible pirates to spread false information, and prevent other hidden dangers from joining the confidential mission.
• After screening one hundred pirates, Oshi asked King to take her on the expedition, and he said he needed Ra’s permission.

Oshi joined King and Wright for a confidential voyage to Gaya Island, where the group debated how to cross the Grand Line. King decided to fly them over the Red Line, and Oshi eagerly looked forward to riding on his back.

• Ra prepared Oshi for the mission and reminded her to follow King and Wright, then revealed that Obe was already aboard to study the weapons logbook.
• Oshi joined King, Wright, and a navigator as they discussed their route to Gaya Island and the need to acquire a Record Pointer along the way.
• Wright and the navigator proposed traveling through Fish-Man Island and Sabaody, but King rejected the route because of its dangers and Marine presence.
• King decided to fly the group over the Red Line, and Oshi supported him after recalling that Kaido had carried her across it before.
• Oshi left the cabin humming and privately anticipated using King as her mount.

King led Oshi and the rest of the team across the Red Line to investigate a ship's log, then descended onto the Fedlin Pirates' ship. The pirates' voyage to the New World ended in a sudden crash as King and his companions landed aboard.

• At the foot of the Red Line, Oshi threw a tantrum because King refused to let her ride on his back, but he made her join the group in a basket.
• King carried the basket over the Red Line in his pteranodon form while Oshi tried and failed to climb onto his back.
• At the Red Line's summit, King told Oshi to stop calling him Alber and prepared the team for their descent.
• Captain Fedlin and his pirates delayed their trip to the New World to avoid Marine inspections near Sabaody and boasted about their strength.
• The lookout spotted a flaming creature towing a basket toward the ship, and King and the team crashed onto the deck.

King, Oshi, Obe, and their companions seized Fedlin’s ship after Oshi defeated him and King drove his crew overboard. They continued toward their destination, leaving the stranded pirates with only two wine barrels.

• King landed hard on Fedlin’s ship, spilling Oshi and the others from the basket.

• Oshi tossed the stranded pirates two empty wine barrels and went below deck.

The Beasts crew reached Gaya Island, where King prepared to land in Mock Town, a lawless pirate settlement built around the abandoned legends of Shandora and Sky Island. At the town’s largest tavern, a tiny figure provoked the owner by demanding food and drink the shop did not serve.

• The Beasts crew sighted Gaya Island, and King ordered them to prepare to land while Wright checked the nautical log.
• Oshi sarcastically complained that King had kept the crew from spending time on the islands during their voyage.
• The chapter described how Mock Town’s early reputation as a destination for treasure and Sky Island seekers collapsed into lawlessness when people gave up on those legends.
• A tiny figure hopped onto a stool in the largest tavern and demanded orange juice and fennel beans, then beef noodles, then a free hot pot.
• The tavern owner refused each request, and the tiny figure accused him of running a terrible shop as the other customers laughed.

Oshi drew the pirates in a Mock Town tavern into an arm-wrestling challenge so she could ask them about sky islands. After defeating Furihairu, she asked whether he had heard of islands floating in the sky.

• Oshi offered fifty thousand Berries to anyone who could beat her at arm wrestling and charged one thousand Berries for each try.
• Furihairu, a pirate with a five-million-Berry bounty, accepted the challenge and paid the entry fee.
• Oshi defeated Furihairu despite his apparent strength advantage, and he accepted his loss.
• Oshi asked Furihairu whether he had ever heard of islands floating in the sky.

Oshi challenged the pirates in a tavern to tell her what they knew about Sky Islands and promised to prove they existed by dropping a coin from the clouds. The old pirates remained doubtful, while Oshi continued her arm-wrestling game and sampled the tavern’s cherry pie.

• Oshi asked the tavern patrons why they mocked Sky Islands so fiercely and said their reactions revealed buried resentment and hope.
• An old pirate insisted Sky Islands were a scam, but Oshi pointed to the Log Pose aimed upward and asked him to tell her what he knew.

• The oldest pirates left the tavern, while Furihairu admitted he did not know whether Sky Island existed and Oshi let him go.
• Oshi defeated the skinny man in arm wrestling, then tried the owner’s cherry pie and complained about its unpitted cherries.

Oshi and the Beasts Pirates failed to learn how to reach Sky Island in Mock Town, so King ordered them to keep investigating before trying the vague method in the ship's log. At a graveyard for abandoned ships, Furihairu learned that nearly twenty people had recently visited and left, and he wondered whether they had come for the same reason he had.

• Oshi, Obe, and Wright reported that Mock Town residents refused to discuss Sky Island, while King ordered them to search for information for two more days.
• Wright explained that the ship's log only said its crew had been swept skyward near Gaya Island by a massive ocean current, without giving any reliable details.
• After losing his last 1,000 Berries, Furihairu went to a secluded bay where abandoned ships were kept.
• Furihairu spotted his former companion's decrepit ship, but turned away when the old pirate described its ruined condition.
• The old pirate told Furihairu that nearly twenty people had visited the ship graveyard recently, and Furihairu stopped to ask about them.

Oshi returned to the tavern and used an arm-wrestling contest to ask pirates about Sky Island, revealing that she and her companions had come from the New World. She declared they would keep searching the sky for Sky Island, while Furihairu quietly left the tavern.

• Oshi offered fifty thousand Berries to anyone who could beat her at arm wrestling, and she defeated the first challenger.
• Oshi told a second challenger that she and her companions had come from the New World to find Sky Island.
• The pirates argued over whether Sky Island existed and whether Oshi’s claims could be trusted.
• Oshi said her companions would leave if they found no valuable clues by the day after tomorrow, but would search the entire sky for Sky Island.
• Furihairu quietly left the tavern, thinking that only one day remained.

Furihairu decided to reclaim his ship, and the tavern owner revealed that he wanted to send his own old ship, Libertalia's Wing, out to sea one last time. The gathered pirates offered their ships as materials for a new vessel, hoping to join Oshi and search for the legendary Sky Island.

• Furihairu told the old pirate he wanted to reclaim and repair his battered ship, but the old pirate pointed out that he lacked money and help.
• The tavern owner arrived and revealed that he had once been a 50 million berry bounty pirate who came to Gaya Island seeking the legendary Sky Island.
• The tavern owner said he wanted to entrust Libertalia's Wing to someone who could carry it into the future, but the old pirate said the ship was too damaged to sail.
• Furihairu offered his ship as a framework for a new vessel, with the tavern owner's ship providing additional materials.
• The pirates who had heard Oshi's declaration gathered at the ship graveyard and offered their own ships, saying they wanted to search for the legendary Sky Island too.

Furihairu and the other pirates dismantled their old ships to build a new one for Oshi, who planned to seek Sky Island. The tavern owner revealed that he had once reached the sea in the sky using the Upward Sea Current and was entrusting his remaining dream to Oshi.

• Furihairu and the pirates agreed to salvage their ships and build a new one for Oshi before she left.

• Furihairu learned that the tavern owner had tried to reach Sky Island twenty years earlier using the Upward Sea Current.
• The tavern owner insisted that Sky Island existed because he had briefly touched the sea in the sky, and said he was betting what he had left on Oshi.
