Chapter Summaries

Fiddler drew Big Mom’s attention while Kutu’s team raided Cake Island, but they withdrew rather than risk attracting stronger forces. On Dressrosa, the Big Mom Pirates continued battling the Donquixote Family as Charlotte Cracker cut through their ranks and the Beasts Pirates remained absent.

• Fiddler rushed to the ice island and attacked its streets with a sonic blast, destroying buildings and killing the nearby pedestrians.

• Su Xiao watched Charlotte Cracker fight on the battlefield and saw that his pirate reputation had reached 1,970 points, while Ku Tu had surged to 6,255.
• Charlotte Cracker crushed a pirate, then fought Pica, who quickly realized the opponent was weaker than expected.

• Cracker struggled on the beach as Doflamingo flew toward him.

Charlotte Katakuri arrived at Landing Point No. 7 and protected the gravely wounded Cracker from Su Xiao’s sniper fire. Su Xiao drew Doflamingo into battle with Katakuri, leaving Cracker exposed, but Katakuri noticed Bubu Wang near his brother.

• Doflamingo charged Katakuri, and the two began fighting while Su Xiao reloaded and aimed at Cracker.
• Bubu Wang knocked Cracker back down when he tried to stand, but Katakuri spotted Bubu Wang and made it retreat.

Su Xiao’s shot crippled Cracker, but Katakuri protected him and fought Doflamingo as their Devil Fruit awakenings transformed the beach. Meanwhile, Contractors watched for a chance to profit from the battle, and a squad of Big Mom’s faction approached Su Xiao after learning he was a Tier Three Contractor called Byakuya.

• Su Xiao’s bullet mangled Cracker’s legs, but Katakuri used mochi to shield Cracker and keep him alive while blocking Doflamingo’s attack.

• Su Xiao spotted Contractors from Big Mom’s faction approaching the Royal Plateau and prepared to deal with them instead of watching the beach battle.
• A squad of five Contractors identified Su Xiao as a Tier Three Contractor codenamed Byakuya, surprising their gaunt leader.

Su Xiao waited at King's Heights as the Shadow Group approached, then revealed and killed one of its members. The remaining six recoiled, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Five Contractors spotted Byakuya's third-place ranking but chose to retreat rather than attack him.
• Seven Tier Four assassins known as the Shadow Group advanced toward King's Heights using clones and stealth abilities.

• A'mu leaped down and struck the ground, while Su Xiao emerged from the villa and used Intuition to spot a hidden attacker.
• Su Xiao cut through the Shadow Group member's spine and then stabbed him through the skull, frightening the other six.

Su Xiao tracked down and killed Shadow Three after the Shadow Group’s stealth team scattered, then considered heading to the coast to join the fight between Doflamingo and Katakuri. He left with his Pirate Reputation still behind Qian Meng’s, while Cracker’s injuries offered a chance to overtake him.

• Su Xiao used a trap’s sound to locate Shadow Three, who stayed motionless under his concealment ability while asking the Shadow Group for help.
• The Shadow Group’s members refused to support Shadow Three, so he revealed himself and demanded five seconds before Su Xiao killed him with a slash.
• Su Xiao told A’Mu to endure his hunger and decided not to pursue the remaining stealthy enemies.
• Su Xiao checked his combat records and found that he had gained nearly two hundred points of Pirate Reputation but still trailed Qian Meng by more than four hundred.
• Su Xiao considered going to the coastal battle between Doflamingo and Katakuri, where he could try to finish the already-wounded Cracker.

Su Xiao went to Landing Point No. 7 and found Doflamingo losing to Katakuri while Cracker remained hidden in the mochi. He joined the battle and resumed his plan with Doflamingo as Katakuri recognized him as the one who had attacked Cracker.

• Su Xiao reached the beach and sent small white Spiders into Katakuri's mochi mass, where Cracker was hiding.
• Su Xiao told Doflamingo to continue their previous tactic, and Katakuri recognized Su Xiao as his attacker.

• Su Xiao fired twice at Katakuri, but Katakuri foresaw the shots and dodged them.

• Doflamingo searched the mochi field for Cracker as Katakuri turned toward him.
• Su Xiao climbed out of the boulder with blood at his mouth and realized Katakuri had been avoiding Dragon Slayer Flash.

Su Xiao rejoined the fight against Katakuri with a seastone rod, prepared to exploit its power against Devil Fruit users. He and Doflamingo continued to pressure Katakuri while Bubu Wang and A'Mu waited nearby to target Cracker.

• Su Xiao put away Dragon Slayer Flash and retrieved the seastone rod Dr. Vegapunk had forged for him.
• Su Xiao charged Katakuri with the rod while Doflamingo fought him, as Bubu Wang and A'Mu lay in wait to attack Cracker.
• Doflamingo blocked Katakuri's punch with Spider Web Thread, though Katakuri's mochi had entangled and disrupted his awakened threads.
• Su Xiao swung the seastone rod at Katakuri, who dodged it, and Doflamingo kicked Katakuri in the abdomen.
• Katakuri stepped back to avoid the rod's next swing, choosing to endure an Armament Haki attack rather than touch the seastone.

Su Xiao and Doflamingo fought Katakuri while Bubu Wang searched for the wounded Cracker and Am waited to attack. Katakuri remained a dangerous opponent, and the chapter ended with Su Xiao’s seastone staff smashing into Doflamingo after Doflamingo deliberately moved into its path.

• Katakuri blocked Su Xiao’s seastone staff, kicked Doflamingo away, and trapped Su Xiao’s leg in sticky rice cake.
• Su Xiao struck Katakuri with Blue Steel Shadow energy, confirming it could threaten Katakuri’s ability to transform into sticky rice cake.

• Su Xiao’s metal staff smashed into Doflamingo’s face, sending him flying backward.

The Big Mom Pirates retreated from Dressrosa under pursuit by the Donquixote Family, while Jack's fleet arrived and helped drive them out to sea. After the battle, Jack confronted Doflamingo about his new partner, Byakuya, and learned that Byakuya had once worked with Dr. Vegapunk for the World Government.

• Smoothie used her sword and Slow Ballad to kill a pursuing Donquixote Family pirate, then boarded a ship as the Big Mom Pirates withdrew.

Doflamingo introduced Su Xiao, also known as Byakuya, to Jack as a valuable ally against the Big Mom Pirates and explained his role in making Alchemy Bombs. After Jack and Su Xiao clashed over Bubu Wang, the group negotiated cooperation and agreed to discuss obtaining more bombs after the war.

• Doflamingo said Su Xiao’s current bomb supply was reserved for the war and placed a Superior Alchemy Bomb on the table.

Su Xiao negotiated with Doflamingo and Jack to trade special bombs for famous swords, then received a Main Quest to repel the Big Mom Pirates. When the Big Mom Pirates landed on Dressrosa, Doflamingo used an Apollo to burn back their assault, earning Su Xiao 1,690 pirate reputation points.

• Doflamingo watched the Apollo's flames drive back the Big Mom Pirates and ordered Pica to start buying Great Grade Swords.

Apollo’s explosion devastated the Dressrosa coast and forced Charlotte Katakuri’s fleet to retreat, while the Donquixote Family and Big Mom Pirates remained trapped in a war neither side could easily end. Su Xiao discussed Apollo’s limits with Jack, who recognized the weapon as the same bomb that had burned him before.

• Charlotte Katakuri ordered his fleet to retreat after Apollo vaporized ships and burned his forces, but insisted the Big Mom Pirates still had to take Dressrosa to preserve their reputation.

• The history of Apollo’s development revealed that hundreds of alchemists had died creating it, and Su Xiao acknowledged he could not safely increase its blast radius much further.
• Jack confronted Su Xiao about the special-model bomb and revealed that a similar weapon had burned him on an island where he had been stationed.
