Chapter Summaries

Katsuo prepared to leave the Shinobi World with two visitors to deal with the Otsutsuki Clan and reassured his family before departing. He placed Tenmei Uchiha in charge of the family and gave him a Chakra Fruit as a last-resort safeguard.

• Katsuo instructed Tenmei Uchiha to protect the family and told him that the Hokage and Uchiha Main Family would follow his authority.
• Katsuo formally entrusted Tenmei with his estate and supreme authority, then gave him a Storage Scroll containing a Chakra Fruit for emergencies.
• Tenmei promised to avoid eating the fruit unless absolutely necessary and to pursue the immortal path through his own efforts.

Katsuo left his family and set out with Kaguya Otsutsuki and Uchiha Madara to travel beyond the Shinobi World. He used his Six Tomoe Rinnegan to cross three hundred light-years toward the Big Dipper Starfield, but depleted his eye before reaching it.

• Katsuo said goodbye to his family and flew to the moon, where Kaguya Otsutsuki and Uchiha Madara joined him.
• Katsuo insisted that Kaguya Otsutsuki and Uchiha Madara accompany him to the Otsutsuki Homeworld, and Kaguya pledged to fight for him.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki estimated that ordinary Void Traversal would take twenty years to reach the Big Dipper Starfield, while her Amenominaka could get them there in two.
• Katsuo used his Six Tomoe Rinnegan to take the three of them three hundred light-years through space, covering about half the journey to the Big Dipper Starfield.
• Katsuo said his depleted left eye would take around two months to recover.

As they traveled toward the Big Dipper Starfield, Katsuo discussed the origins of humanity with Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki, contrasting creation myths with biological evolution. Kaguya then revealed that the Otsutsuki Clan’s legendary ancestor was born from the first fruit of the Primordial God Tree, leaving Katsuo to ask how that story fit with what she had said about the Otsutsuki God.

• Uchiha Madara wondered why so few Life Planets had humans, and Kaguya Otsutsuki said humans lived on about one in ten such planets.
• Katsuo shaped human figures from lake mud and told them the legend of Nüwa Creates Humans, but admitted he could not verify it.
• Katsuo argued that humans might have evolved from upright apes, demonstrating the similarity between an ape’s anatomy and a human’s; Uchiha Madara rejected the theory.
• Katsuo asked Kaguya Otsutsuki about the clan’s origins, and she said its ancestor came from the first fruit of the Primordial God Tree.
• Katsuo questioned how that account fit with Kaguya’s story about the Otsutsuki God and the Transcendence Fruit, and Kaguya clarified that they were different fruits.

Katsuo questioned the origins and nature of Chakra after learning more about the Otsutsuki Clan’s Primordial God Tree and the Upper Realm. Kaguya confirmed that Chakra users were ultimately tied to the Divine Tree, leaving Madara troubled and Katsuo wondering whether Chakra wielders could ever defeat the Otsutsuki Clan.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki explained that the Otsutsuki Clan descended from the Divine Tree and speculated that the Primordial God Tree came from the Upper Realm.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki said the Primordial God Tree had once opened a barrier between realms, letting Upper Realm aura reach the Otsutsuki ancestral planet and strengthen its clansmen.
• Katsuo, Uchiha Madara, and Kaguya Otsutsuki left the Life Planet, and Katsuo reflected on how Natural Energy supported life.
• Katsuo asked what Chakra was, prompting Madara to describe it as a fusion of spiritual and physical energy while Kaguya said it came from the Divine Tree and was disseminated by the Otsutsuki Clan.
• Katsuo concluded that ninjas served as nurseries for the Divine Tree and that their Chakra would eventually return to it; Kaguya agreed and called him unusually able to break free of that causality.
• Katsuo asked whether Chakra users could defeat the Otsutsuki Clan, and Kaguya explained that Six Paths Level beings were immune to Chakra attacks except physical ones.

Katsuo decided to strengthen Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki by teaching them his Sage Mode before confronting the Otsutsuki Clan. His honest offer of partnership won their commitment, and the trio searched for a life planet where they could train.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki warned Katsuo that Chakra cultivators would be outmatched by the Otsutsuki Clan, prompting him to reconsider relying on her and Uchiha Madara.
• Katsuo offered to teach them his half-immortal Fused Sage Mode, which could combine with Chakra without requiring them to abandon their existing abilities.
• Uchiha Madara questioned whether they might use the technique against Katsuo, and Katsuo explained that he trusted them as partners and had already returned what belonged to them.
• Uchiha Madara agreed to learn Sage Mode, while Kaguya Otsutsuki promised not to betray Katsuo as long as he did not betray her.
• Katsuo began teaching them the cultivation method, and the trio searched for a life planet because natural energy was scarce in space.

Katsuo taught Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki Sage Mode and the Yang Seal, though Kaguya could not use the seal because she lacked an upper dantian. He then took them to a planet he hoped might be his old home, but found a different world without humans and accepted that his former home was gone.

• Katsuo taught Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki Sage Mode and explained how the Yang Seal could store Sage Chakra and offset the technique’s weakness.
• Kaguya could not sense an upper dantian, and Katsuo determined that her physiology lacked the hidden acupoint needed to construct the Yang Seal.
• Kaguya mastered Sage Mode, while Uchiha Madara thanked Katsuo for teaching them powerful techniques.
• Katsuo used his ocular technique to take Uchiha Madara and Kaguya to a blue planet near the Big Dipper Starfield.
• Katsuo realized the planet was not his former Earth and had not yet evolved humans, then accepted that his only home was the world they had left.

Katsuo, Kaguya Otsutsuki, and Uchiha Madara traveled through space in search of a place to rest and found a vast ocean planet rich in Natural Energy. Katsuo recognized something familiar about the world and spotted a ship, leaving the group poised to investigate.

• Katsuo took Kaguya Otsutsuki and Uchiha Madara away from Earth and toward the Otsutsuki Clan's territory.
• After half a year of travel and finding only two barren Life Planets, Kaguya Otsutsuki spotted a promising world where they could rest.
• The three reached the ocean-covered planet, where Uchiha Madara felt abundant Natural Energy and Kaguya Otsutsuki considered planting the Divine Tree.
• Katsuo recognized the planet as familiar, pulled a giant sea beast from the ocean, and pointed out a ship for them to investigate.

Katsuo, Uchiha Madara, and Kaguya Otsutsuki boarded the Fallen Monk Pirates’ ship and forced Strange Monk Urouge to cooperate. After learning the pirates were headed to Sabaody Archipelago, they took the crew’s Devil Fruit to examine it, leaving the frightened pirates at their mercy.

• Katsuo, Uchiha Madara, and Kaguya Otsutsuki landed on the pirate ship and searched three pirates’ memories while the crew opened fire on them.
• Katsuo identified the crew as the Fallen Monk Pirates, and Strange Monk Urouge realized the trio vastly outmatched him.
• Katsuo threatened the pirates by making a lackey explode, then got Urouge to reveal that they were sailing toward Sabaody Archipelago.
• Katsuo demanded the Devil Fruit Urouge had found, and Urouge handed it over to the trio.
• Katsuo, Uchiha Madara, and Kaguya Otsutsuki examined the Devil Fruit, and Kaguya’s Byakugan frightened the pirates into calling her a monster.
• Katsuo made the pirate who called Kaguya a monster explode into a cloud of blood mist.

Katsuo examined a Devil Fruit and used his Rinne Sharingan to reproduce its bear transformation without eating it. After reading a newspaper, he recognized the world as the One Piece universe and estimated that the Straw Hats had just rescued Nico Robin.

• Kaguya used her Nine Tomoe Rinne Sharingan to perceive the unknown force inside the Bear-Bear Fruit.
• Katsuo focused his Rinne Sharingan on the fruit and used Natural Energy to transform into a giant bear.
• Katsuo returned to human form, and Uchiha Madara suggested that eating the fruit might grant more power than Katsuo had simulated.
• Strange Monk Urouge gave Katsuo a Devil Fruit encyclopedia and a newspaper, then arranged a banquet aboard his ship.
• Katsuo noticed the serving women’s injuries and read the newspaper’s bounty notices for Monkey D. Luffy, Zoro, and Nico Robin.
• Katsuo concluded that the Straw Hats had recently rescued Nico Robin and thought that his strength made the coming events no cause for concern.

Katsuo and his companions reached the Sabaody Archipelago, where he ordered Urouge to free the women held aboard his ship and then released Urouge as well. As they left, Katsuo told Madara that they should act on their whims without dwelling on what might happen afterward, leaving Madara silent.

• Urouge told Katsuo that the Straw Hat Pirates were nearby, and Katsuo said he was not interested in them.
• Katsuo shared a bowl of wine with Kaguya and decided they would plant the Divine Tree after reaching the Red Line.
• At Sabaody Archipelago, a wine attendant begged Madara for help as the group prepared to leave the ship.
• Katsuo ordered Urouge to release all the women held aboard, and the women fled after Katsuo told them they were free.
• Katsuo told Urouge he was free to leave, then explained to Madara that they should follow their whims without worrying about the consequences.
• Madara fell silent after hearing Katsuo's explanation.

Katsuo rode a Bubble Car through Sabaody Archipelago with Kaguya Otsutsuki, drawing Madara’s disapproval and then striking a Celestial Dragon after dodging his gunfire. The Celestial Dragon appeared to have been killed, leaving the horrified crowd anticipating the consequences.

• Madara reconsidered Katsuo’s carefree attitude, then watched him pedal a Bubble Car and pay its owner with a gold brick.
• Katsuo forced Kaguya onto the Bubble Car, sped away with her, and left Madara to explore on his own.
• A lackey warned Katsuo about a Celestial Dragon and fired at him, but Katsuo dodged the bullet and struck the lackey with the Bubble Car.
• Katsuo dodged the Celestial Dragon’s golden bullets and rammed him, leaving him unconscious and apparently dead.
• The onlookers realized the attack on the Celestial Dragon would bring serious trouble.

After running over a Celestial Dragon on Sabaody Archipelago, Katsuo took Kaguya Otsutsuki to a tavern, where he found Dark King Rayleigh and demanded the Three Colors of Haki training methods. Marines then began searching the area, and Admiral Kizaru arrived under orders to kill the perpetrator.

• Katsuo discarded the Bubble Car after striking a Celestial Dragon and took Kaguya Otsutsuki to a nearby tavern.

• Marine Headquarters surrounded Sabaody Archipelago, and Admiral Kizaru arrived with orders to kill Katsuo.

• Dark King Rayleigh explained the Three Colors of Haki to Katsuo, who mastered Armament and Observation Haki within minutes.
• Katsuo demonstrated Armament Haki to Kaguya Otsutsuki, who also acquired it and dismissed its power as unremarkable.

• Katsuo unleashed Black Conqueror’s Haki across Sabaody, Marine Headquarters, Mary Geoise, and Fish-Man Island, incapacitating nearly everyone in its range.
• Admiral Kizaru reported the mass incapacitation at Sabaody to Sengoku, who said Marine Headquarters had also been struck and ordered Kizaru to wait for reinforcements.

Kizaru confronted Katsuo and his two companions after they emerged from the tavern with Rayleigh, but their effortless defense and overwhelming presence made him reconsider fighting them. When Sengoku, Akainu, Aokiji, and Garp arrived to demand an explanation for the Celestial Dragon’s death, Katsuo dismissed them as children, and Madara opened his eyes.

• Kizaru flew to the tavern after sensing powerful Conqueror’s Haki and saw Katsuo, Madara, and their companion emerge with Rayleigh carrying the unconscious bartender.

• Katsuo pointed to the sky and declared that they came from beyond the heavens and would take over the world.
• Sengoku arrived with Akainu, Aokiji, and Garp and demanded an explanation for the Marine attack and the Celestial Dragon’s death.
• Katsuo asked why adults should explain themselves to children, and Madara opened his deep-purple eyes.

Katsuo and Uchiha Madara fought Akainu and Garp using only Haki and hand-to-hand combat, astonishing the Marines with their strength. As Madara pressed Akainu, Garp launched a full-power Conqueror’s Haki strike at Katsuo, who prepared a terrifyingly charged fist.

• Katsuo told Uchiha Madara to use his newly learned Haki against Akainu, while he faced Garp himself.
• Madara and Katsuo repelled Akainu and Garp with direct punches, and Rayleigh stayed to watch the battle.
• Sengoku signaled Kizaru and Aokiji to join in, but Garp insisted on fighting Katsuo alone as Akainu attacked Madara with a magma hound.
• Madara destroyed the magma hound and overwhelmed Akainu with taijutsu, Haki, and his fighting skill while his wounds healed rapidly.
• Garp unleashed a full-power Conqueror’s Haki-infused strike at Katsuo, who gathered black lightning into his fist and prepared to meet him.

Katsuo defeated Garp in a head-on clash, leaving the Marine hero gravely wounded, then faced a coordinated assault from Kizaru, Aokiji, and Sengoku. He broke free of Aokiji’s ice and countered Sengoku’s shockwave with a dragon-shaped blast of compressed Conqueror’s Haki.

• Garp poured his strength into a Conqueror’s Haki punch, but Katsuo met it head-on and remained unmoved.

• Akainu’s magma fist collided with Katsuo’s black dragon, which crushed through the attack and pierced Akainu’s chest.

Katsuo subdued the Marine leadership with the Colored Rings and ordered Sengoku to lead the Marines to Mariejois so Katsuo could bring it under his control. Sengoku feared the consequences, but Katsuo insisted that the Marines help minimize casualties while he dealt with the authorities there.

• Katsuo sent Colored Rings after the five Marines, and Kaguya caught Kizaru and brought him back to the battlefield.
• The rings suppressed the Marines’ powers and inflicted unbearable pain until Kizaru, Aokiji, Sengoku, and Akainu surrendered; Garp resisted until he passed out, and Katsuo spared him.
• Katsuo ordered Sengoku to leave a vice admiral and one unit at Sabaody and take the remaining Marines to Mariejois.
• Sengoku warned Katsuo that attacking Mariejois could plunge the world into chaos and that Marine forces alone could not capture it.
• Katsuo told Sengoku he wanted to control Mariejois, not destroy it, and ordered the Marines to minimize casualties among the lower ranks.

Katsuo challenged Sengoku and the other Marine officers over their service to the World Government and their claims to uphold justice. He demanded that they help destroy the corrupt old order, leaving them shocked and ashamed as he urged them to become saviors of the people.

• Sengoku asked Katsuo to negotiate with the World Government and call off his attack on Mariejois, but Katsuo questioned why the Marines protected the Celestial Dragons.
• Katsuo described the world's suffering and argued that the Marines had never truly served justice, citing their protection of the Celestial Dragons and cooperation with the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

• Katsuo ordered the officers to stop resisting, declaring that eliminating corrupt World Nobles and evil pirates would fulfill the Marines' true duty.
• Katsuo called for the old order to be destroyed and urged the Marine officers to carry out sweeping reform and become saviors of the people.

Katsuo led the Marines to Mary Geoise and ordered them to kill every Celestial Dragon, using Dao Ball rings to force the senior officers to obey. As Kaguya took Number Ten to plant the Divine Tree in the Red Line’s soil, Katsuo assigned Aokiji to guard her and disciplined him into submission.

• Katsuo ordered the Marines to enter Mary Geoise and told them to kill every Celestial Dragon they encountered.
