Chapter Summaries

Blackbeard unleashed a massive wave to create chaos and escape, but Ronglin stopped him and demanded to know who had tipped him off. As Ronglin prepared to torture Blackbeard for an answer, Van Augur attacked from a distance and Ronglin dodged.

• Blackbeard struck the sea with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, raising a giant wave that swept up warships and people from both alliances.
• Fujitora floated warships away to help the Star Alliance retreat, while the wave swallowed hundreds and thousands of people.
• Blackbeard tried to use the chaos to escape, but Ronglin caught up and blasted a hole through his left foot.
• Ronglin slowed Blackbeard's attack and demanded to know who had tipped him off, promising him a quick death if he answered.
• Van Augur fired a sneak shot at Ronglin, who dodged it and looked toward the sniper.

Ronglin tortured Blackbeard, dismissed his desperate pleas, and drowned him in the sea. With Blackbeard dead, the remaining Beasts Pirates and Blackbeard Pirates fled the battlefield.

• Van Augur tried to save Blackbeard, but the Star Alliance forces, led by Fujitora, killed him.
• Ronglin twisted off Blackbeard’s wrist and lifted the Time-Time Technique, unleashing the pain of his injuries.
• Blackbeard’s uncontrolled Tremor-Tremor Fruit power blasted his severed hand into blood mist, and he collapsed screaming.
• Ronglin dragged Blackbeard to the ship’s edge as Blackbeard’s Dark-Dark Fruit power failed to affect him.
• Blackbeard begged for mercy and offered to reveal the informant, but Ronglin submerged him in the sea and his struggles stopped.

Ronglin drowned Blackbeard and left Jazz in charge of finishing the battle while he pursued the escaped Kaido. The Star Alliance’s forces closed in on the remaining pirates as Jazz led the Phantom Group into the fighting.

• Ronglin drowned Blackbeard in the sea, then took the two Devil Fruits from the case Jazz brought him.
• Ronglin ordered Jazz to eliminate the remaining enemies and said he would chase Kaido, who had escaped during the chaos.
• Ronglin used Observation Haki and his Overwhelming Body state to speed after Kaido, while Momousagi stayed behind to support Jazz.
• Jazz returned to the Nebula, where the Phantom Group and members of the Eight Treasures Navy had gathered as the Star Alliance continued to surround the fleeing pirates.
• Jazz ordered the Phantom Group to attack the resisting elites of the two pirate crews, and its members transformed into beast forms and charged into battle.

Ronglin pursued Kaido to an island and battered him with a Fire Phoenix and lightning-infused attacks. Though Kaido survived and tried to fight back, Ronglin paralyzed him and struck his abdomen.

• Ronglin caught up with Kaido and sent a blazing Fire Phoenix crashing into him, hurling him into the island's coast.
• Kaido erupted from the flames and destroyed the Fire Phoenix's remaining fire, but he was left badly burned.
• Kaido charged Ronglin, who unleashed Haki: Thunder Spear Rain and blasted him into a deep crater.
• Kaido tried to attack again, but Ronglin's lightning left him numb and unable to retaliate.
• Ronglin appeared behind Kaido and struck him repeatedly in the abdomen.

Ronglin battered Kaido with overwhelming speed and elemental power, but Kaido’s awakened Zoan healing kept him alive. Kaido managed to land a counterpunch that sent Ronglin flying.

• Ronglin struck Kaido into a mountain, and Kaido’s shattered body began healing rapidly.
• Ronglin recognized Kaido’s awakened Zoan resilience, while Kaido regained confidence and offered to make peace and ally with him.
• Ronglin revealed that Blackbeard had drowned and declared that Kaido had no place in his planned New World order.
• Ronglin punched Kaido into a mountain and relentlessly attacked him with lightning, fire, and ice, collapsing the peak around them.
• Kaido blocked a punch with his left arm, broke it, and countered with a right fist that sent Ronglin flying.

Ronglin overwhelmed Kaido in their battle, but Kaido’s awakened Zoan ability repeatedly healed injuries that should have killed him. After Kaido crawled from the devastated battlefield, Ronglin confronted him and questioned whether an awakened Zoan granted immortality.

• Kaido tried to recover after Ronglin’s attacks, but Ronglin struck him with lightning and drove him into a massive crater.
• Kaido counterattacked with a kick, but the impact shattered his own thigh while sending Ronglin flying.
• Kaido’s awakened Zoan ability restored his crushed skull and other injuries, allowing him to survive despite his wounds.
• Kaido crawled from the crater and found Ronglin waiting nearby, apparently unharmed.
• Ronglin asked whether an awakened Zoan Devil Fruit granted immortality and recalled that Adele Baiyu had also survived fatal injuries through a Zoan power.

Ronglin refused to leave Kaido even as the Marines approached, appointing Jazz acting Alliance Leader and continuing to attack Kaido. After Kaido tried to escape, Ronglin broke his bones, but hesitated before delivering a potentially fatal blow.

• Moria warned Ronglin that a fleet of more than seventy thousand Marines, including the three Admirals, was approaching.
• Ronglin appointed Jazz acting Alliance Leader and ordered him to take command while Ronglin stayed to deal with Kaido.
• Kaido urged Ronglin to return to his men, then tried to escape by using a ground-shattering attack to obscure his retreat.
• Ronglin pursued Kaido, struck him down, and broke the bones throughout his body.
• Kaido taunted Ronglin that he would recover in three days, and Ronglin raised his hands but did not release the light in his palms.

Ronglin defeated and tortured Kaido, then took him back to the Star Alliance fleet to make him a symbol of the new order. Meanwhile, Sengoku and the Marine high command weighed striking the battered Star Alliance, but the World Government ordered them to reinforce Mary Geoise against a Revolutionary Army offensive.

• Ronglin seized Kaido, inflicted extreme pain on his wounds, and crushed his Haki with his own.
• Ronglin told the bloodied Kaido that he would not let him die easily and carried him toward the Star Alliance fleet as a symbol of the new order.
• Sengoku and the Marine high command assessed the Star Alliance's victory over the Yonko Alliance and considered attacking while the Star Alliance was weakened.
• The World Government ordered the Marines to abandon their chance to strike the Star Alliance and return to Mary Geoise, where the Revolutionary Army had captured four islands and was advancing with a large force.
• Akainu angrily slammed his fist on the conference table over the order.

The Navy chose to attack the Star Alliance despite orders to reinforce Mary Geoise, viewing the alliance as a growing threat. Aboard the Nebula, Jazz took command as Acting Alliance Leader, but resistance from several commanders threatened to challenge his authority.

• Tsuru urged Sengoku to seize the chance to destroy the Star Alliance before it grew stronger, and Sengoku ordered the Navy to attack.
• Jazz took the chief seat aboard the Nebula as the Star Alliance's senior commanders assembled around him.
• Jazz demanded that Moria accept his overall command, and Moria agreed despite his resentment.
• Hawkins interrupted Jazz as he pressed Capone for support, openly challenging Jazz during the meeting.
• Capone crushed his cigar underfoot after seeing Jazz's smile, but Jazz gave him a cold glance.

Jazz forced Hawkins and Capone to submit and accepted the role of supreme commander aboard the Nebula. As the Star Alliance prepared to retreat, Sengoku and Tsuru decided the Navy should attack before it escaped.

• Hawkins realized Jazz's forces had surrounded the meeting area, and Capone knelt to affirm his loyalty to Jazz.
• Hawkins also knelt and urged Jazz to prioritize the battle, prompting Jazz to accept the position of supreme commander.
• A Navy intelligence officer reported to Sengoku that the Star Alliance had abandoned its trapped ships and was gathering intact vessels to withdraw.
• Tsuru warned that the Star Alliance's Second Fleet could carry the survivors away before the Navy crossed the wreckage, and Sengoku agreed to act.

Fujitora confronted Aokiji after Jazz ordered him to stop the Marines from freezing the sea and blocking the Star Alliance’s retreat. Aokiji and Fujitora clashed over the water, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Aokiji transformed into ice and flew toward the sea to freeze it, raising Marine morale.
• Jazz ordered Fujitora to stop Aokiji, and Fujitora flew up to intercept his former colleague.
• Aokiji attacked Fujitora with an ice spear, but Fujitora blocked and shattered it before using gravity to send Aokiji plunging toward the sea.
• Aokiji dispersed into ice and began freezing the water, but Fujitora crushed the spreading ice with a vast Gravity Field.
• Aokiji re-formed and exchanged attacks with Fujitora, as their clashing powers churned the sea into a vortex of ice and waves.

Fujitora and Momousagi fought to hold back the Marine Admirals, but Akainu joined the battle and the five top fighters unleashed a devastating combined strike. The blast injured all five, and Jazz asked the wounded Fujitora and Momousagi to go for treatment.

• Fujitora blocked Aokiji’s attacks, causing the Marines’ morale to falter as they recognized why he had defected.
• Kizaru attacked Fujitora alongside Aokiji, and Momousagi intervened to fight Kizaru.
• The four fighters’ battle formed a destructive whirlpool that crushed four warships and sent freezing shockwaves across both sides.
• Jazz warned that Fujitora and Momousagi were nearing their limits and told the Star Alliance to prepare for Aokiji freezing the sea.
• Akainu charged into the battle, and the five fighters redirected their combined attack into the sky before the blast hurled them all away, badly injuring Fujitora and Momousagi.
• Jazz asked Fujitora and Momousagi about their injuries and told them to get treated in the rear.

Aokiji froze the sea, trapping the Star Alliance and allowing the Marines to launch an assault. As the Marine vanguard neared the Star Alliance, Jazz ordered the ships detonated, with Fujitora accepting the consequences.

• Fujitora refused to leave the battlefield despite his injuries, warning that the Star Alliance could not beat the three Admirals.
• Aokiji used Ice Age to freeze the sea for thousands of miles, preventing the Star Alliance from evacuating.
• Akainu and Kizaru led tens of thousands of Marines across the ice toward the Star Alliance's Second Fleet.
• Jazz waited until the Marines neared the Star Alliance, then asked Fujitora whether he could bear the harm from detonating the ships.
• Fujitora agreed to accept responsibility for the Marines' casualties, and Jazz ordered the ships detonated.

Jazz lured the Marines into the Sea of Ships and ignited the explosives aboard the warships, trapping tens of thousands in a raging inferno. The Marines began extinguishing the flames, but Jazz remained confident that they could not put out the fire at its source.

• Jazz had the Star Alliance prepare explosives aboard the warships and lure the Marines into the Sea of Ships.
• Kizaru destroyed the Nebula's cannon barrage with Yata no Kagami, but explosives aboard the warships detonated and engulfed the Marine vanguard and central force in flames.
• The Star Alliance celebrated Jazz's plan, while its commanders wondered whether he or Ronglin had devised it.
• Akainu and the Marine divisions extinguished more than half the flames, but the fire spread back into the cleared areas and trapped the wounded Marines again.
• Jazz warned the Star Alliance not to relax and said the Marines could not stop the fire while its source remained.

The Star Alliance trapped the Marine vanguard between fire and water, inflicting devastating casualties before Aokiji restored the Marines’ footing. Akainu and Kizaru launched successive attacks, but Star Alliance fighters and Momousagi held them off as the Marines prepared to attack again.

• The Star Alliance’s fire and shelling melted Aokiji’s ice, trapping the advancing Marines and causing heavy casualties until Aokiji extinguished the flames and froze the sea again.
• Akainu unleashed Meteor Volcano, but more than a hundred Star Alliance fighters joined forces to block the magma rain.
• Kizaru followed with a bombardment of light, and Momousagi used Star to shield the Star Alliance camp, shattering the ice beneath Marine soldiers in the clash.
• Kizaru remarked that Momousagi and Fujitora remained powerful, while Akainu and Aokiji disapproved of his attack for destroying their foothold.
• The Marines treated their wounded and regrouped under the three Admirals and elite Vice Admirals, preparing to launch another attack against the Star Alliance.

Ronglin returned to the battlefield carrying a defeated Kaido, reviving the Star Alliance’s morale and shaking the Navy. Sengoku transformed and attacked Ronglin, who used Kaido to block the shockwave and then countered Sengoku.

• Ronglin returned holding Kaido, whose bones were broken and whose body hung limp.
• The Star Alliance gained confidence at Ronglin’s return, while the Navy’s morale faltered.
• Sengoku reflected on his past and the war’s stakes, then cursed the World Government and transformed into a golden Buddha.
• Sengoku charged Ronglin and struck him with a shockwave, which Ronglin blocked with Kaido’s body.
• Ronglin swung Kaido to clear the attack, then launched a palm strike and Haki lightning at Sengoku.

Ronglin returned to the Nebula with Kaido captured and offered the Navy a chance to surrender to the Star Alliance. When the Navy refused, Jinbe’s hidden presence beneath the sea began to shatter the ice and threaten the fleet.

• Ronglin forced Sengoku back, returned to the Nebula, and had Kaido bound with Seastone and steel rings.
• Ronglin urged the Navy to join the Star Alliance and avoid further bloodshed, but Akainu rejected his appeal and condemned the Alliance’s killings.
• Sengoku and Tsuru realized the lack of sea life near the battlefield meant a powerful creature was lurking beneath the water, and Tsuru suspected Jinbe was waiting there.
• Violent tremors shattered Aokiji’s frozen sea as the Navy retreated to its warships; Aokiji repeatedly refroze the ice to cover their withdrawal.
• Ronglin declared that he would send the Navy down another road and called out, “Sea Emperor!”

Ronglin revealed Princess Shirahoshi as Sea Emperor Poseidon and used her Sea Kings to surround the Marines, leaving Sengoku convinced that the Marines were defeated. As the Star Alliance’s overwhelming power became clear, the chapter ended with Sengoku approaching the Nebula in a small boat.

• Ronglin summoned the Kraken and a vast host of Sea Kings to protect the Star Alliance fleet and encircle the Marines.
• Ronglin introduced Princess Shirahoshi as Poseidon, the Sea Emperor who commanded the Sea Kings.
• Sengoku realized the Marines could not withstand the Sea Kings and despaired over having been outmaneuvered by the Star Alliance.
• Shirahoshi hurried to Ronglin, who praised her and Jinbe as Jinbe affirmed his hopes for the Fish-Man race’s freedom.
• The Marines watched a small boat head toward the Nebula, unaware that the Starry was the Star Alliance’s core warship.

Sengoku, Tsuru, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru surrendered to the Star Alliance and offered their lives in exchange for the safety of tens of thousands of Marines. Ronglin instead ordered them imprisoned and agreed to a truce while the Star Alliance established its new order.

• Sengoku and the four senior Marine commanders boarded the Nebula, where they saw the Phantom Group's army of more than four hundred Zoan users.
• Sengoku announced that the five commanders would surrender and exchange their lives for a way out for the Marines.
• Ronglin questioned Akainu, who explained that he would sacrifice himself rather than let tens of thousands of Marines die and hoped they would carry on his will.
• Fujitora and Momousagi pleaded with Ronglin not to kill the commanders, while Sengoku said the Marine divisions would return to headquarters and release Garp.
• Ronglin chose to imprison the five commanders in the Star Alliance's most secure Prison and promised that the Alliance and Marines would refrain from hostile acts against each other.

Ronglin spared Sengoku, Akainu, and the other Navy leaders, offering them the choice to support the Star Alliance’s new order or stand aside. A report of Garp’s revolt at Marine Headquarters left the Navy in turmoil, while Akainu refused to take command as a prisoner.

• Ronglin told Sengoku, Akainu, and the other three leaders that he would not kill them and urged them to consider joining the Star Alliance.
• A Navy soldier reported that Mary Geoise had dismissed Sengoku and appointed Akainu acting Fleet Admiral, ordering him to reinforce Marine Headquarters.
• The soldier revealed that Koby and Helmeppo had led a mutiny to free Garp, and that Kong had killed Helmeppo before Garp broke out and rallied Marines against Kong.
• Sengoku lamented that the Navy was finished as its officers grieved over Garp’s revolt and the Navy’s collapse.
• Akainu rejected the order to lead the Navy, telling the soldier to find someone else to be Fleet Admiral.
