Chapter Summaries

Rosen revived the last of the 358 fallen Marines despite his allies urging him to stop, leaving him dangerously exhausted. As Gion supported him, Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk attacked, seeking to kill him and end their enslavement.

• Rosen explained that delaying the revivals would make them harder because he would have to deny both death and time, then continued despite the Marines’ pleas.
• Rosen revived Marines one by one until only the final corpse remained, while his strength dwindled and Gion stepped forward to support him.
• As Rosen began reviving the last Marine, Borsalino and Sakazuki agreed he should be stopped, but Kuzan moved to take responsibility for knocking him unconscious.
• Crocodile launched a sand blade at Rosen, and Dracule Mihawk followed with a devastating slash from Yoru.
• Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk attacked the weakened Rosen, accepting that the Marines might kill them because they wanted to be free of their collars.

Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk tried to assassinate the weakened Rosen, but Bartholomew Kuma intervened and revealed that he had joined the Shichibukai to protect Rosen. After explaining his connection to Ginny, Kuma offered to relieve Rosen’s fatigue while the Marines remained wary.

• Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk attacked Rosen while he was too weakened to defend himself, but Borsalino rushed to shield him.
• Bartholomew Kuma blocked Crocodile’s Desert Great Sword and diverted Mihawk’s slash, saving Rosen from the assassination attempt.
• Kuma revealed that he had voluntarily joined the Shichibukai and worn a collar so he could protect Rosen without anyone expecting it.
• Kuma told Rosen that Ginny had sent her regards and said Ginny and Bonney were doing well.
• Kuma offered to use his Paw-Paw Fruit to remove Rosen’s fatigue, but waited for permission as the Marines kept watch.

Rosen dismissed the idea of recovering his strength and confronted Crocodile, who challenged his claim that Conqueror’s Haki alone could kill him. Rosen used his Haki to trap and crush Crocodile in a black coffin, leaving the Marines and Bartholomew Kuma stunned by his power.

• Rosen told Bartholomew Kuma he would deal with Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk before expelling his fatigue.
• Crocodile mocked Rosen’s weakness and challenged him to prove he could kill him with Conqueror’s Haki.
• Crocodile attacked Rosen with four Haki-coated sand blades, but Rosen’s Conqueror’s Haki shattered them.
• Rosen formed a black coffin from Conqueror’s Haki, twisted the space inside it, and crushed Crocodile to death.
• Borsalino, Sakazuki, Kuzan, Douglas Bullet, and Bartholomew Kuma reacted with shock as they recognized Rosen’s overwhelming Haki mastery.

Rosen crushed Crocodile with Conqueror's Haki and faced Dracule Mihawk, whose resolve drove him to attack despite the overwhelming gap between them. Rosen's five-dragon Haki technique devastated the ice field, and after the blast faded, Black Blade Yoru fell into the ice, leaving Mihawk's fate unclear.

• Rosen killed Crocodile with Haki and turned to Dracule Mihawk, who recoiled after sensing Rosen's spirit.
• Dracule Mihawk tore off his collar, declared that he was not Crocodile, and attacked Rosen with a powerful Conqueror's Haki slash.
• Rosen stopped Mihawk's slash with a thin Armament Haki wall and called the world's strongest Great Swordsman a slightly larger flying insect.
• Rosen unleashed five Conqueror's Haki black dragons that swallowed Dracule Mihawk and devastated the ice field.
• The Haki sphere dissipated, the world regained its color, and Black Blade Yoru plunged into the ice.

Rosen killed Dracule Mihawk after shattering Black Blade Yoru with Conqueror's Haki, then asked Bartholomew Kuma to remove the fatigue accumulated from rejecting hundreds of Marines' deaths. Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit could not move that immense burden, leaving Rosen's condition unresolved.

• Rosen's Conqueror's Haki broke Black Blade Yoru, then trapped Dracule Mihawk in the Black Coffin and crushed him to death before he could reach his sword.
• Marines and pirates watched Rosen kill Mihawk and Crocodile, hailing him as unmatched under heaven.
• Rosen, supported by Gion, asked Bartholomew Kuma to eject the fatigue in his body and warned him it had accumulated from rejecting the deaths of several hundred Marines.
• Kuma agreed and pressed his paw-shaped palm against Rosen, but the accumulated fatigue felt as immovable as the Red Line.
• Borsalino, Sakazuki, Kuzan, Douglas Bullet, and other Marines who could see the future realized that Rosen's burden was too heavy for Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit to eject.

After Rosen revived the fallen Marines, Bartholomew Kuma expelled one-third of the immense fatigue Rosen had accumulated, but warned it would return unless living beings bore it. The Marines and their allies volunteered, until Gild Tesoro suggested transferring the burden to the unconscious Big Mom and Whitebeard pirates, leaving the pirates screaming as Dol divided the fatigue among them.

• Bartholomew Kuma used his awakened Paw-Paw Fruit to expel a mountain-sized bubble of fatigue from Rosen, but managed to remove only one-third before collapsing from exhaustion.
• Rosen revived the final dead Marine with Shield Shun Six Flowers after shedding some of his fatigue.
• Bartholomew Kuma explained that the expelled fatigue would return to Rosen unless living beings took it, and warned that even an Admiral could die bearing a third of it.
• Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Douglas Bullet, Gion, Tokikake, and the Marines volunteered to share Rosen's burden.
• Gild Tesoro suggested making the unconscious pirates bear the fatigue, and the Admirals agreed to try it before sharing any remainder themselves.
• Dol divided the paw-shaped bubble into thousands of pieces with the Ope Ope Fruit and transferred them into unconscious pirates, who woke screaming in pain.

After the Three Admirals forced the Whitebeard and Big Mom Pirates to absorb Rosen’s immense exhaustion, the Marines sent the surviving prisoners to Impel Down. Rosen then arranged for the remaining key figures to be taken to Marine Headquarters, restored Bartholomew Kuma, and sent the allies home, while Boa Hancock sought his approval.

• Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan threatened the pirates who had already surrendered, and Vista and the others agreed to share Rosen’s exhaustion.
• Gild Tesoro told Dol to distribute the exhaustion according to each pirate’s strength so that most would survive for future use.
• Tesoro revealed that Stella had been resurrected, and he vowed to make the Marines conquer Paramecia Devil Fruit replication technology.
• Rosen opened Black Holes to Impel Down and told the Marines he would take them home after they escorted the prisoners; he ordered Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Shiki, Dracule Mihawk, and Charlotte Katakuri taken to Marine Headquarters.
• Rosen restored Bartholomew Kuma and sent him back to the Sorbeth Kingdom, then sent the other Shichibukai away through Black Holes.
• Boa Hancock knelt before Rosen and asked whether her performance had pleased him.

After Rosen defeated the Whitebeard and Big Mom Pirates, Sengoku told him that the Red-Haired Pirates had invaded Judge's Forbidden Zone and freed Kaido. Rosen learned that Garp had survived because of a contingency he left behind and vowed to capture Kaido again and wipe out the Red-Haired Pirates.

• Rosen visited Garp, who apologized for nearly losing the base, and praised him as a legendary Marine hero.

Rosen repaired Judge's Forbidden Zone, healed Garp, and heard Garp pledge to help him become King of the World. After Rosen asked to inspect Garp's memories, he witnessed the Red-Haired Pirates approach the base and Garp prepare to defend it largely alone.

• Rosen used Kannon Opening Kurenai Kai to restore Judge's Forbidden Zone and healed Garp's crippling injuries with Shield Shun: Six Flowers.
• Garp told Rosen that he remained in the Marines for justice and vowed to wager the name of Hero to make Rosen King of the World.

• Shanks unleashed Advanced Conqueror's Haki, knocking out most of the Marines and researchers at the base.
• Garp tore off his Justice Coat and prepared to face the Red-Haired Pirates alone.

Shanks and the Red-Haired Pirates attacked Judge's Forbidden Zone to free Kaido and take Vinsmoke Judge, while Garp tried to stop them. As the crew reached the shore, Sode no Shirayuki and Thousand Cherry Blossoms appeared to block their way.

• Shanks told Garp he wanted Kaido and Vinsmoke Judge, arguing that the Marines had grown too powerful and that the Great Pirate Era needed to survive.
• Garp and Shanks clashed, while Benn Beckman joined the fight with Haki-infused gunfire and helped suppress Garp.
• Jesus Burgess, Lucky Roo, and the other Red-Haired Pirates officers moved toward Judge's Forbidden Zone while Shanks and Benn Beckman kept Garp occupied.
• The Red-Haired Pirates landed at the forbidden zone, where Sode no Shirayuki and Thousand Cherry Blossoms appeared and declared that the road was closed.

The Red-Haired Pirates encountered two defenders wielding Rosen’s Zanpakuto, Sode no Shirayuki and Thousand Cherry Blossoms, and realized the blades could be used by others. As they pressed toward Judge’s Forbidden Zone, the masked warrior revealed his Bankai and identified himself as Thousand Cherry Blossoms.

• Sode no Shirayuki appeared with a kimono-clad woman, freezing the beach and stopping the Red-Haired Pirates’ advance.

• Benn Beckman ordered the pirates to seize the Zanpakuto, prompting Jesus Burgess and Lucky Roo to fire Haki-coated bullets.
• The masked warrior released Thousand Cherry Blossoms’ Bankai to shield himself and the woman, then revealed that he was Thousand Cherry Blossoms.

Thousand Cherry Blossoms and Sode no Shirayuki revealed themselves as Rosen’s materialized Zanpakuto and attacked the Red-Haired Pirates, but the crew recovered from the surprise and turned the battle around. Shanks pinned Garp down while Benn Beckman’s Haki-coated bullet threatened Sode no Shirayuki and the other officers cornered Thousand Cherry Blossoms.

• Sode no Shirayuki activated Bankai and froze most of the Red-Haired Pirates, while Thousand Cherry Blossoms delayed Lucky Roo with a storm of blades.

• Shanks broke free of the ice and attacked Garp in earnest, while Benn Beckman recognized Thousand Cherry Blossoms and Sode no Shirayuki as materialized Zanpakuto.
• Benn Beckman fired a Haki-coated bullet at Sode no Shirayuki, and Thousand Cherry Blossoms formed a blade barrier that the bullet shattered.
• Jesus Burgess and Lucky Roo shot at Thousand Cherry Blossoms while Hongou attacked him with his Haki-hardened staff, leaving both Zanpakuto in danger.

Katen and Kyōkotsu rescued Thousand Cherry Blossoms and Sode no Shirayuki from the Red-Haired Pirates, using their shadow blades to wound Benn Beckman and kill Hongou. Garp kept Shanks occupied, while Katen warned that Shanks’s Haki made him a deadly threat to the Zanpakuto guarding Judge's Forbidden Zone.

• Thousand Cherry Blossoms and Sode no Shirayuki escaped their opponents by sinking into shadows beneath their feet.
• Benn Beckman narrowly avoided a fatal strike from a blade emerging from his shadow, but the same attack pierced Hongou.
• Garp seized Shanks’s distraction to hurl him into the frozen sea with Sea Bottom Drop.
• Katen and Kyōkotsu emerged from the shadows and brought Thousand Cherry Blossoms and Sode no Shirayuki back to safety.
• Thousand Cherry Blossoms admitted that he had underestimated the pirates, and Katen cautioned that Shanks’s Haki could threaten even her.

Katen revealed five more of Rosen’s materialized Zanpakuto, turning the Red-Haired Pirates’ attack on Judge’s Forbidden Zone into an eight-on-eight battle. As the Zanpakuto faced their opponents, the injured Hongou withdrew to warn his crew about their dangerous and unfamiliar abilities.

• Thousand Cherry Blossoms apologized for his arrogance and chose Lucky Roo as his opponent after Katen and Kyōkotsu steered him away from Benn Beckman.
• Sode no Shirayuki volunteered to fight Jesus Burgess, but Katen warned that she could not defeat him alone, even with Bankai.

• Senbonzakura materialized as a man and a woman, introduced themselves to Bonk Punch and Mighty Star, and prepared to fight them.

Senbonzakura and Sode no Shirayuki attacked Red-Haired Pirates officers while Suzumebachi revealed her Shikai ability to Lime Jones. The chapter ended as Suzumebachi began her Bankai, with Lime Jones realizing her Two-Hit Kill was only her Shikai.

• Senbonzakura used Twin King Senbonzakura to blast Bonk Punch and Monster, and Sode no Shirayuki froze them before the two Zanpakutō agreed to fight them together.
• Heaven's Punishment transformed into Black Rope Heaven's Punishment Ming King and drove Roaring Gabu into a fissure with a massive slash.
• Suzumebachi introduced herself to Lime Jones and marked his hand and shoulder with her stinger, leaving painless black butterfly patterns.
• Lime Jones deduced that Suzumebachi's Shikai, Two-Hit Kill, killed anyone struck twice in the same spot, and he resolved to avoid a second hit.
• Suzumebachi revealed that Two-Hit Kill was only her Shikai and declared Bankai as she aimed her stinger at Lime Jones.

Suzumebachi used her Bankai to strike Lime Jones with a devastating missile, while Nikutsu revealed her own Bankai to save Suzumebachi from Jesus Burgess. The battle continued with Lime Jones’s fate uncertain and the Red-Haired Pirates facing another powerful Zanpakutō.

• Suzumebachi drew Lime Jones into the sky, then fired Suzumebachi Raihōben when they were far enough from the other fighters.
• Lime Jones chose to meet the missile with his Haki-coated staff rather than let it hit the Red-Haired Pirates’ ship, and the collision erupted into a massive explosion.
• The Red-Haired Pirates, including Shanks and Benn Beckman, feared that Lime Jones had been killed, while Suzumebachi celebrated taking down an officer with one shot.
• Jesus Burgess fired a Haki-coated bullet at the immobilized Suzumebachi, but Nikutsu activated Bankai and sliced the bullet apart with her extended blade.
• Nikutsu revealed a face and figure resembling Unohana Retsu and told Jesus Burgess she was stronger than every Zanpakutō except those known as the strongest.

• Nikutsu unsettled Jesus Burgess by revealing that Suzumebachi could fire her Bankai two more times that day, and Burgess vowed to stop her.
• Benn Beckman and Katen continued their quiet but dangerous duel as Katen tried to shake his confidence by warning that Suzumebachi would use Bankai again.
• Benn Beckman unleashed Advanced Conqueror’s Haki, suppressing Katen and Kyōkotsu, and blamed himself for Lime Jones’s injuries because he had hidden his strength.
• Benn Beckman shot Katen through the heart with an Armament Haki bullet, then turned and shot Kyōkotsu through the heart as well.

Katen and Kyōkotsu used their Bankai, Katen Kyōkotsu: Kasanutsume, to share injuries with Benn Beckman and each other. After surviving the first exchange with the help of Haki, Benn Beckman was struck by the damage from the second bullet and fell to one knee, while the two Zanpakuto remained standing.

• Benn Beckman aimed at Suzumebachi, but Katen and Kyōkotsu rose despite their pierced hearts and activated Bankai.
• Suzumebachi told Benn Beckman that even the strongest Zanpakuto feared fighting Katen when she got serious.
• Benn Beckman used Observation Haki to see the future, but Katen’s First Movement: Hesitant Wound Sharing reflected his gunshot wound onto him and transferred his earlier slash wound to her.
• Benn Beckman survived the reflected heart wound because his Armament Haki reduced the damage, but Katen reminded him that he had also shot Kyōkotsu.
• Kyōkotsu activated First Movement: Hesitant Wound Sharing, spreading the second heart-piercing wound among Benn Beckman, Katen, and Kyōkotsu.
• Benn Beckman collapsed to one knee as Katen and Kyōkotsu stayed on their feet.

As she unleashed her Final Verse, Katen proudly recalled Rosen’s assessment that she was invincible below Admirals and Emperors and could trade one-for-one with those above them.

• Benn Beckman realized that First Movement: Hesitant Wound Sharing injured him without killing Katen and Kyōkotsu, then aimed at Katen’s head.
