• Kuzan explained that Seastone sealed Kaido’s Devil Fruit power and weakened him but did not suppress his immense strength, and that the Five Elders wanted his Bloodline Factor.
• Rosen, Kuzan, Gion, and Hina arrived at Vinsmoke Judge’s laboratory, where Judge presented the completed Artificial Fish-Fish Fruit.
• Rosen told Judge that Marines could benefit from scientific advances but could not be used as experiments, while offering to provide prisoners as test subjects.
• Judge assured Rosen that prior testing had found no difference between the fruit and T Bone’s version apart from the color of their Azure Dragon transformations.
• Rosen handed the fruit to Hina, and she immediately ate it as the gathered Marines and researchers witnessed the start of the plan.

Hina ate the Artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan Azure Dragon Form, and transformed into an azure dragon maiden, while Rosen learned that mass production depended on solving the energy problem. After ordering Judge to continue his research and promising to secure the Five Elders’ approval for cooperation with Vegapunk, Rosen returned to Marine Headquarters and prepared to head for Mary Geoise.

• Rosen returned to Marine Headquarters with Gion and Hina, sent Hina to develop her abilities, and told Gion to prepare a warship and summon Tesoro as he planned to go to Mary Geoise.

Gild Tesoro hurried to join Rosen, who was taking him to Mary Geoise to retrieve Stella’s body and negotiate with the Five Elders. As the warship sailed toward the Red Line, Gion informed the Five Elders of Rosen’s arrival and refused Saturn’s demand to speak with him directly.

• Gion summoned Gild Tesoro to the inner bay, and he rushed there, overjoyed at the chance to retrieve Stella’s body.
• Rosen departed for Mary Geoise aboard a warship with Gion and Gild Tesoro, avoiding a Black Hole so the Five Elders would not mistake his arrival for an attack.
• Rosen told Gion to notify the Five Elders in advance that he was coming to speak with them face-to-face.
• Saint Saturn demanded to speak with Rosen after Gion delivered the warning, but Gion refused on Rosen’s behalf.

• Gion told Saint Jaygarcia Saturn that Rosen’s visit to Mary Geoise was a notification, not a request, and ended the call.

• Ginny and Bonney fell from the Red Line, but Rosen opened a Black Hole with Negación and transported them safely to his warship.

• Ginny told Rosen that she had once been a commander in the Revolutionary Army and asked him to send Bonney to the Sorbeth Kingdom because Azure Jade Scales left her little time to live.
• Rosen refused Gild Tesoro's offer to adopt Bonney, said her parents could reunite, and suddenly struck Ginny with his Zanpakuto.

• Rosen and Saint Nusjuro answered each other’s challenges by releasing Conqueror’s Haki, beginning a fierce clash before negotiations.

Rosen overwhelmed the Five Elders in a Conqueror’s Haki clash, forcing their lightning-shaped spirits to kneel before they joined forces and briefly reached a stalemate. When Rosen got serious and formed a giant palm of Conqueror’s Haki, the Elders’ spirits began collapsing again.

• Rosen’s Conqueror’s Haki crushed Saint Nusjuro’s Black Lightning Horse Bone and forced it to kneel.
• Saint Saturn and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn added their Haki, but Rosen’s spirit forced their Black Lightning Ushi-Oni and Itzamade to kneel as well.
• Saint Peter and Saint Warcury joined the clash, and the combined Haki of all five Elders raised their lightning constructs into a strained stalemate with Rosen.
• Rosen formed a giant palm from Conqueror’s Black Lightning and brought it crashing down, splitting the clouds and shaking Mary Geoise.
• The Black Lightning Ushi-Oni and Black Lightning Sandworm were forced to kneel again beneath Rosen’s increased Haki pressure.

• Rosen’s Conqueror’s Haki forced all five Elders’ lightning manifestations to kneel, then crushed them into the Red Line and left a massive palm print.
• Saint Warcury ended the clash and welcomed Rosen into Mary Geoise, while Gion admired him and Gild Tesoro followed him with renewed hope of avenging Stella.
• Rosen entered Pangu Castle and sat on the largest sofa in the Power Hall, leaving Saint Warcury with the only remaining seat and the other Elders standing.
• Saint Warcury asked Rosen why he had come, and Rosen said he had three things to discuss.
• Saint Warcury suspected Rosen’s agenda involved Gion or Gild Tesoro, and Rosen’s next words jolted the Five Elders.

Rosen demanded Stella’s corpse and Saint Charlos’s execution from the Five Elders, but they refused and threatened war. He then demonstrated his Bankai, firing a missile through a Black Hole toward Enies Lobby, leaving Rob Lucci staring in terror as it descended.

• Rosen demanded that the Five Elders give him Stella’s corpse, and Saint Warcury refused.
• Rosen asked the Five Elders to execute Saint Charlos, but they rejected the demand and said they would go to war rather than execute a Celestial Dragon.
• Rosen opened a Black Hole, projected its destination on a screen, and revealed Suzumebachi Raihōben as an intercontinental ballistic missile.
• Rosen fired the missile through the Black Hole, then adjusted the projection to show that its exit was above Enies Lobby.
• The Five Elders recognized that Enies Lobby was under attack and tried to stop Rosen, who calmly declared, “One-Hit Kill.”
• A golden missile emerged above Enies Lobby and sped toward the island as Rob Lucci looked out the window in terror.

Rosen demonstrated that Black Hole could deliver Suzumebachi Raihōben across the ocean, obliterating Enies Lobby and terrifying the Five Elders with the threat of a strike on Mary Geoise. He secured their agreement to return Stella’s body and Saint Charlos, leaving the deal contingent on Rosen keeping Suzumebachi Raihōben out of Mary Geoise.

• Rob Lucci noticed the incoming attack and urged Kaku and the others to move, but Suzumebachi Raihōben struck Enies Lobby before they could escape.
• Suzumebachi Raihōben’s explosion erased Enies Lobby, including the main island, the Tower of Justice, the Bridge of Hesitation, and everyone there.
• The Five Elders watched the destruction from the Power Hall and realized Rosen could potentially send Suzumebachi Raihōben directly into Pangu Castle or the Room of Flowers.
• Rosen taunted the Five Elders about checking the Empty Throne and Room of Flowers, frightening them into abandoning thoughts of fighting him.
• Saint Warcury agreed to return Stella’s body and Saint Charlos if Rosen guaranteed Suzumebachi Raihōben would not appear anywhere within Mary Geoise.
• Rosen accepted the condition, relying on his reputation for keeping his word.

Rosen forced the Five Elders to choose between accepting his demands and fighting the Marines at Mary Geoise, after witnessing Saint Charlos throw Ginny and her newborn daughter Bonney from the Red Line. Saint Warcury sat down to hear Rosen's third demand, but the Five Elders had not yet answered when Rosen pressed them to make the Celestial Dragons submit to Marine justice.

• Saint Warcury and Saint Nusjuro tried to end the negotiations, but Rosen said returning Stella's body and executing Saint Charlos were only his first two demands.
• Rosen summoned Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Garp, Sengoku, and Douglas Bullet through seven Black Holes above Mary Geoise, and threatened the World Government with war.
• Rosen revealed that he had witnessed Saint Charlos order Ginny and her newborn daughter Bonney thrown from the Red Line, and admitted he was struggling to restrain his murderous intent.
• Rosen drew his twin Zanpakuto, Zangetsu, and demanded that the Celestial Dragons follow the Marines' rules; Saint Warcury sat down and asked him to explain his third matter.
• Rosen demanded an answer from the Five Elders and brought the two blades together as the threat of war still hung over Mary Geoise.

Rosen forced the Five Elders and Imu to recall the Celestial Dragons at sea and seal Mary Geoise, leaving the Navy’s justice above their privileges. As Rosen’s allies celebrated the victory, Saint Figarland Garling arrived at Saint Charlos’s residence, intending to borrow something from him with murderous intent.

• A Den Den Mushi call interrupted Rosen’s confrontation with the Five Elders, and Saint Warcury answered Imu with deference.
• Saint Warcury told Rosen that the World Nobles would be recalled and Mary Geoise sealed, with none allowed to leave while the Holy Land remained closed.
• Rosen accepted the decision and left Pangu Castle with Gion and Gild Tesoro, who marveled at the unprecedented concession.
• Sengoku, Garp, Borsalino, Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Douglas Bullet praised Rosen’s victory and the Navy’s new standing.
• Saint Figarland Garling visited Saint Charlos and said he had come to borrow something, while Saint Charlos eagerly offered him anything he wanted.

Fernando Greenbull executed Saint Charlos on Imu’s orders, and Rosen received Charlos’s body along with Stella’s frozen remains. Gild Tesoro reunited with Stella aboard the warship while Rosen prepared to leave Mary Geoise, still restraining his anger.

• Fernando Greenbull beheaded Saint Charlos and ordered the God's Guards to deliver Charlos’s body and the slave’s body to Rosen.
• Rosen returned to his warship, where God's Guards brought two coffins aboard and departed.
