Chapter Summaries

Jevite lured Tiger aboard his ship by pretending to welcome him as a friend, then drugged and attacked him. Tiger discovered that the ship’s cargo hold contained cages stained with blood, and Jevite revealed his real intentions.

• Jevite led a dizzy Tiger below deck, where Tiger found iron cages and dried blood.
• Jevite called Tiger a stinking fish, punched him into the stairs, and admitted that he had drugged him through the meal.

• Tiger struck Jevite with a powerful Water Strike, but the poison left him too weak to use Armament Haki.

After strange changes appeared in Gigue’s arm and eye, he agreed to take Tiger back to Fish-Man Island and sped toward the Red Line. The two entered the sea aboard an uncoated speedboat, where Tiger was shocked to see Gigue move, breathe, and speak underwater despite being a Devil Fruit Ability User.

Gigue, the Marine Admiral known as Black Dragon, visited Ryugu Palace with Fisher Tiger and Jinbe, alarming King Neptune and Queen Otohime. Gigue had no official grievance with the kingdom; he was interested in securing the future Sea King, Shirahoshi, for the Figarland Family before she was born.

• Tiger introduced Gigue to the Right Minister as a Marine Admiral, and Gigue agreed to visit Ryugu Palace.
• Jinbe asked Tiger about Gigue and privately wondered whether he could test the Admiral's strength, but held back.
• At Ryugu Palace, Neptune recognized Gigue and hurried to meet him, while Otohime grew concerned about the Admiral's arrival.
• Neptune and Otohime suspected Gigue had come over Neptune's friendship with Roger, but Gigue had come to reserve Shirahoshi's power for the Figarland Family.

• Gigue began asking Neptune a question, but Otohime interrupted and arranged a banquet and fresh clothes for him.
• After Gigue left, Tiger explained how Gigue had saved him, and Otohime warned Neptune that the Marine Admiral's visit might be tied to his friendship with Roger.
• Otohime told Tiger that Fish-Man Island could not resist Gigue and called for Shyarly to predict whether his arrival would bring disaster.
• Shyarly touched her crystal ball, which filled with blackness before vanishing, and she screamed, clutched her head, and collapsed.

• Gigue returned, picked up Shyarly, and questioned Neptune about his relationship with Roger.

• Neptune offered to pay for the Marines’ expenses, but Gigue said he wanted to see their sincerity rather than their money.
• Gigue asked Neptune and Otohime to send their future daughter to Mary Geoise at age six, promising to return her when she came of age.

Gigue brutally injured Neptune and drained his blood after Neptune refused his demand, then stopped when Otohime agreed to cooperate. Otohime asked Gigue what he knew about the special nature of her future daughter.

• Gigue agreed to grant her wish after he met her daughter, and Otohime thanked him tearfully.

After leaving Ryugu Palace, Gigue visited Fish-Man District, where he killed Hody and the fish-men who encouraged him, then flew up to Noah. He hovered before the ancient ship and raised his darkness-covered hand.

• Gigue dismissed Noah as an eyesore, then asked Tiger to take him to Fish-Man District despite Otohime's warnings.
• Tiger and Jinbe followed Gigue to Fish-Man District, where the hostile fish-men stared at him.

• Gigue exploded Hody and the fish-men who had cheered him on, then scattered their blood across the district.
• Gigue unfurled his wings, broke through the bubble membrane, and hovered before Noah with his hand shrouded in darkness.

Gigue destroyed Noah and fought the giant Sea Kings, binding them with darkness before vanishing. The Sea Kings feared that his appearance had disrupted the prophecy and endangered their king and another person, then withdrew to the deep sea.

Gigue visited Vegapunk as he experimented with an Artificial Devil Fruit, saving the last of Kaido's blood after Vegapunk accidentally spilled it. The experiment produced a blood-red fruit with golden-orange rings, leaving Gigue unsure whether its unusual color meant it had failed.

• Vegapunk accidentally dropped and shattered a test tube of Kaido's blood when Gigue suddenly appeared in the research institute.
• Vegapunk explained that the blood was the last of his rare materials for an Artificial Devil Fruit experiment and that replacing them could take nearly twenty years.
• Gigue used his power to gather the spilled blood and put it into the machine as Vegapunk instructed.
• The solution boiled and transformed the purple apple into a red Devil Fruit with golden-orange ring patterns.
• Gigue wondered whether the fruit's appearance differed from the dark-purple fruit he remembered from Momonosuke's memories, or whether the experiment had failed.

Vegapunk completed an Artificial Devil Fruit that Gigue took away for testing, then examined Gigue and found his blood pressure was abnormally low. Gigue showed he could control his blood pressure without apparent harm, but Vegapunk warned that his occasional sleepiness might precede a period of hibernation.

• Vegapunk celebrated the successful creation of an Artificial Devil Fruit after its vapor formed a white dragon above it.
• Gigue took the fruit from Vegapunk and said he would handle its final testing.
• Gigue asked Vegapunk for a physical examination, and Vegapunk found his blood pressure was dangerously low despite his lack of weakness.
• Gigue manipulated his blood to send his blood pressure soaring, then let it fall back to its low level without showing distress.
• Vegapunk warned Gigue that his sleepiness might mean he would enter a period of hibernation.

After returning to Marine Headquarters, Gigue deduced that Roger would likely visit Whole Cake Island to obtain Big Mom’s Road Poneglyph. He accepted a mission to investigate Roger there alone, leaving the Navy’s broader forces out of a costly confrontation.

• Gigue left Vegapunk’s research institute and returned to Marine Headquarters after months away.
• Kong gave Gigue intelligence reports and asked him to study the elusive Roger Pirates’ movements.

• Gigue accepted the mission to investigate Whole Cake Island alone, avoiding a large-scale Navy assault.

Gigue headed toward Whole Cake Island after learning that the Roger Pirates had arrived there. Roger met Charlotte Linlin to ask about the Poneglyph, but found her in the middle of having a child and demanding food.

• Gigue received intelligence about the Roger Pirates and Whole Cake Island's Log Pose, then flew toward the island without waiting for Kong's orders.
• Aboard the Oro Jackson, Roger told Rayleigh that he needed to see the Poneglyph because his illness was incurable and he had little time left.
• Streusen greeted Roger and led the Roger Pirates to Linlin's castle, where Roger sensed that a man inside was about to give out.
• Charlotte Linlin emerged in a pink nightgown, and Roger and his crew were stunned by how much her appearance had changed.
• Linlin dismissed the man on her bed as a disappointment, demanded food, and ate a cake Streusen made from floor tiles before asking for something tastier.

Roger and the Roger Pirates visited Linlin, who taunted them about their defeat and tested Shanks with her Soul-Soul Fruit. After turning down Linlin’s offer to have a child with him, Roger tried to steer the conversation toward serious business.

• Streusen rushed to prepare food for Linlin, who had become hungry.
• Linlin mocked Roger about his defeat, and Shanks angrily denied that the Roger Pirates had come to seek refuge.

• Roger stopped Linlin from pressing Shanks further, and Buggy pulled Shanks back behind Rayleigh.
• Linlin asked Roger to have a child with her, but he refused and said he had come to discuss serious business.

Roger urged Linlin to let him see the red stone connected to Laugh Tale, and their clash brought the Roger Pirates and Big Mom Pirates to the brink of battle. Meanwhile, Gigue arrived on Toasted Cake Island and effortlessly pinned Oven beneath his speedboat.
