Chapter Summaries

Robin offered her life in exchange for the Straw Hat Pirates’ safety, while Su Xiao left Bruno to handle her and went to confront arriving Contractors. On a rooftop, Li and Lilith tried to stop the unseen Su Xiao, but his attacks quickly overwhelmed them.

• Lilith was wounded by six gunshots and took cover with Li behind his crystal shield.
• Su Xiao threw a bomb onto the rooftop, blasting Lilith across it before she could locate him.

Su Xiao pursued Li and Lilith, cutting Lilith apart with Boundary Severing Thread before she reformed through Blood Transformation. He resisted Lilith’s mental inducement and attacked her, but Li trapped him briefly with a shield ability before fleeing.

• Li realized Su Xiao had both exceptional Strength and Agility as Su Xiao rapidly caught up to him.

Su Xiao fought Li and Lilith, overcoming Lilith’s Blood Poison and exploiting discord between the two women to kill her. He was briefly trapped by Li’s crystal control, while Li fled into the distance.

• Li realized she and Lilith could not escape, while Su Xiao shattered Li’s Crystal Barrier and Lilith struck him with Blood Poison.

• Su Xiao found Bubu Wang emerging from the waterway, where the dog had hidden and eaten fish on the seabed.
• Bruno returned after fighting other enemies, learned Su Xiao had already dealt with their opponents, and confirmed CP9 was preparing to act that night.
• Su Xiao told Bruno to capture Iceberg directly that night rather than follow the plan to frame the Straw Hat Pirates, since CP9 needed to locate the Pluton blueprints.

Su Xiao helped CP9 replace Spandam’s slow plan with a swift operation, and the group began its mission in Water Seven after capturing Nico Robin. They seized Iceberg in his study, leaving him restrained as Lucci prepared to question him.

• Su Xiao persuaded Lucci to adopt a one-hour operation plan, and Zero intervened until Spandam approved it.

• Lucci and Kaku joined the others, and Bruno led the group through a hidden door to Iceberg’s study.
• Kaku grabbed Iceberg and pinned him to the floor while Lucci asked him to confirm something.

Lucci confronted Iceberg for the Pluton blueprints and deduced that Iceberg had entrusted them to Franky, formerly Cutty Flam. The chapter ended with Iceberg’s panic confirming Lucci’s suspicion as CP9’s deadline approached.

• Iceberg initially suspected Lucci and the others had been bribed, but Lucci revealed they were CP9 and demanded the Pluton blueprints.

• Kalifa reported that Cutty Flam was Franky, prompting Lucci to question Iceberg’s heartbeat and explain his deduction.
• Lucci concluded that Iceberg had hidden the blueprints with Franky, and Iceberg’s racing heartbeat betrayed his alarm.

Su Xiao killed Barry after discovering Kaku had spared him, then escaped with Robin as the Straw Hat Pirates arrived and tried to bring her back. Robin rejected Luffy and the others to protect them, and Su Xiao left the room with her just before detonating the bombs inside.

• Su Xiao recognized Barry's presence, confronted Kaku for leaving him alive, and killed the wounded shipwright with Boundary Severing Thread.

• Su Xiao counted down, grabbed Robin, and leaped through the window as Luffy and Zoro sensed the danger of the Alchemy Bombs he detonated.

Su Xiao accidentally killed Iceberg in an explosion, while Luffy and Zoro survived the blast and the Straw Hats fled toward the Going Merry. In the ruins, the revolver-wielding man confronted Mad Milk as the National Football Team Trio watched, then ran when the two noticed them.

• Luffy shielded Nami and Chopper from the Alchemy Bomb, while Zoro helped protect Luffy; the explosion destroyed Iceberg’s house and killed Iceberg.
• Su Xiao received 8.1% World Source for Iceberg’s death but found that Iceberg had dropped no Treasure Chest.

• The National Football Team Trio fled when the revolver-wielding man and Mad Milk turned their attention toward them.

Su Xiao waited for Franky in Water Seven while discussing with Robin why the World Government treated them differently. He left Robin considering that her attachment to the Straw Hat Pirates was her weakness and warned that Enies Lobby would confine them both.

• Su Xiao found Franky's gang's headquarters in ruins and learned from Lucci that Franky would return within ten minutes.
• Su Xiao told Robin that the Straw Hat Pirates were still alive and that his bombs had helped protect them from Lucci and the others.
• Su Xiao argued that Robin's weakness was the Straw Hat Pirates and warned that the World Government would keep him at Enies Lobby to obtain his bomb-making technology.

• The group met a CP8 agent at the Sea Train station and boarded the train for Enies Lobby.
• Kalifa had Franky chained, stuffed into a sack, and carried to the rear carriage.

Su Xiao concealed his escape attempt from CP9 and infiltrated the Sea Train’s seventh carriage, where Franky was being held. After knocking out the guards, Su Xiao reached Franky, intending to take the object hidden inside him.

• Su Xiao told Lucci he was only going to sleep, while Robin overheard their conversation and confirmed that Su Xiao’s situation resembled hers.
• Su Xiao used Bubu Wang’s loud snoring to convince Kalifa he was resting, then changed clothes and climbed out onto the Sea Train’s roof.
• Su Xiao reached the seventh carriage and knocked out its three guards with a metal canister, but Franky also collapsed after inhaling its fumes.
• Su Xiao checked the nearby carriages, entered the seventh carriage through a window, and approached Franky to retrieve the object he had been pursuing.

Su Xiao searched Franky for a hidden item, cracked the combination lock on his lower back, and took what was inside. He restored the scene and returned to his compartment, where Bubutney reacted to Su Xiao’s test of its intelligence.

• Su Xiao searched Franky's body and found a combination lock concealed beneath an artificial membrane on his lower back.
• Su Xiao tried several birthday-based passwords before entering 831 and opening the lock.
• Su Xiao removed an item, placed another object inside, relocked the compartment, and tied Franky back up.
• Su Xiao returned to his carriage, dried and changed his clothes, and cleaned away signs of his passage.
• Su Xiao asked Bubutney to identify the number shown by his five fingers, and Bubutney reacted irritably to the question.

Su Xiao opened Crimson Cards with Bubutney and obtained both useless items and valuable loot. He ended with Spider Empress, a powerful heavy sniper rifle, and realized how dangerous it would have been in the hands of the Contracter he had defeated.

• Su Xiao opened two Crimson Cards with Bubutney and drew an Elixir of Elves, a cucumber, and a Comforting Airplane Cup.
• Bubutney opened a Crimson Card and received a watermelon, chives, and eggs.
• Su Xiao used Destiny Redemption to boost his Luck before opening a Level 9 Crimson Card, but first drew Tyrannosaurus Glasses and Thong Underwear.
• Su Xiao pulled Spider Empress, a powerful purple heavy sniper rifle, from the Crimson Card.
• Su Xiao inspected Spider Empress and recognized that its former owner could have seriously endangered him with it.

Su Xiao prepared for the coming battle on Enies Lobby, opened a treasure chest for a huge haul of Paradise Coins, and rested aboard the Sea Train. When Lucci and the CP9 agents searched his compartment and tested him with a Seastone pendant, Su Xiao concealed that he had recognized it as a Devil Fruit test.

• Su Xiao considered how Spider Empress and Shattered Elf would let him attack enemies at range before returning to close combat.
• Su Xiao opened a Blue Treasure Chest and gained 12,560 Paradise Coins, then decided not to hunt Contractors unless they provoked him, with Violators as an exception.
• As the Sea Train grew noisy, Lucci and the CP9 agents barged into Su Xiao's compartment to investigate Franky's attack, and Bubutney bit Kaku when he moved to strike.
• Su Xiao echoed Lucci's earlier excuse for entering his room, accepted Lucci's pendant without reacting, and watched the CP9 agents leave for Carriage Three.
• Su Xiao identified the pendant as Seastone and put it into his Storage Space, realizing Lucci had used it to test whether he was a Devil Fruit user.

Su Xiao arrived at Enies Lobby, completed his quest to capture Nico Robin, and learned that the blueprints for Pluton would draw other Contractors into the coming battle. The Marines arranged to take him to a secret base to make bombs, but he faced an unexpected obstacle when he found Vice Admiral Tsuru aboard the warship.

• Su Xiao disembarked at Enies Lobby with Lucci, Robin, and Franky, then learned that his capture quest was complete and that his next quest involved the Battle of Enies Lobby and the Pluton blueprints.

• Su Xiao negotiated permission to return to Enies Lobby in three days, and Hina received approval from her superiors.
• Su Xiao boarded the Marine warship and discovered that Vice Admiral Tsuru was aboard; Tsuru judged him untrustworthy and in need of observation.

Su Xiao gave Vice Admiral Tsuru and Hina an elaborate list of materials for his Alchemy Bombs and overwhelmed them with technical explanations. Tsuru judged him a dangerous but valuable double-edged sword and decided to have him watched when they reached the island.

• Vice Admiral Tsuru ordered the warship to sail toward the nearby island, while Su Xiao considered how to profit from his technology and Bubutney suffered from seasickness.
• Tsuru asked Su Xiao for the materials needed to make Alchemy Bombs, and he listed several unfamiliar substances and components.
• Su Xiao explained the materials in detail, leaving Tsuru confused and Hina struggling to record the formulas.
• Su Xiao continued writing the formulas himself after Hina asked to leave, and Hina joined Tsuru on deck.
• Tsuru told Hina that Su Xiao resembled Shiryu in his dangerous aura but had a clear purpose, and said they would have someone watch him at the island.

Su Xiao reached the Marines’ island facility and demonstrated his Alchemy Bomb to Kizaru and Sentomaru. After meeting Vegapunk and learning that he could provide both substitute materials and Mana-restoring potions, Su Xiao prepared to mass-produce bombs for the World Government, advancing his Alchemy skills.

• Vice Admiral Tsuru escorted Su Xiao to the island, where Hina led him through Marine ambushes to the experimental facility.

• Su Xiao agreed to begin mass-producing Alchemy Bombs, hoping to raise his manufacturing skill and unlock Alchemy Potioncraft.

Su Xiao tested his Intermediate Alchemy Bomb and began mass-producing bombs in the laboratory the Marines had prepared for him. He left the chapter focused on manufacturing, with more than 300 bombs accumulated and his production speed steadily improving.

With the Marines eager for more bombs and Pluton’s blueprints in his possession, he considered using them to lure Contractors to the heavily guarded island.

• Su Xiao chose Precise Control as his Alchemy Bomb Manufacturing reward and learned formulas for Superior Psychic Bombs and Sun God Apollo.
• Hina summoned Kizaru, and Su Xiao negotiated for rare materials by claiming he could make stronger bombs than the ones he had manufactured the previous night.

• Su Xiao demonstrated the bomb’s abilities to Kizaru and estimated that he could manufacture more than 200 a day.
