Chapter Summaries

Ronglin killed an envoy he called a spy, then let the other spies expose themselves as they tried to turn the summit against the Star Alliance. The hall’s supporters began to rally behind the alliance until distant cannon fire gave its opponents new hope.

• Ronglin rejected demands for evidence and defended his killing by calling the dead envoy an undercover spy.
• Envoys who denounced Ronglin were gradually isolated as others recognized their attempts to sabotage the summit.
• A supporter accused the agitators of being spies, prompting many people in the hall to side with the Star Alliance.
• Distant cannon fire erupted, and the people opposing Ronglin celebrated, believing the major powers would disrupt the summit.

Germa 66 assassins ambushed the envoys at the conference, while a dormant poison left most people—including Ronglin—unable to move. The attackers revealed that BIGMOM Pirates were assaulting Ashil Kingdom, leaving the Star Alliance apparently trapped on all sides.

• Germa 66 assassins disguised among the envoys attacked, killing over a hundred people before the envoys rallied and overwhelmed many of them.

• The attackers explained that they had exposed everyone to a dormant poison days earlier and activated it with a bottle of reagent.
• The attackers claimed the Four Emperors' BIGMOM Pirates were attacking Ashil Kingdom and that Ronglin and the Star Alliance's forces could no longer resist.

Ronglin tried to stop poisoned envoys from defecting to a BIGMOM spy, but over a hundred people attacked their neighbors to prove their loyalty to the enemy. The spy claimed the Star Alliance was doomed and urged Ronglin to surrender, while Ronglin remained confident that the spy had not secured the overall outcome.

• The spy offered protection and an antidote to anyone who killed the person beside them and joined his side.

• Ronglin laughed at the spy’s confidence and challenged his claim that he could decide the outcome.
• The spy said he was waiting for Big Mom to take control and accused Ronglin of trying to win support through empty words.

Ronglin let the envoys leave the Star Alliance, but the BIGMOM Pirates’ spy leader ordered Germa 66 to attack those who refused to submit. As the Star Alliance supporters fought a losing battle, Ronglin revealed a fish-men unit hidden in the central pool, beginning his counterattack.

• Jazz announced that envoys who wished to leave the Star Alliance could do so, prompting many to head for the exits.

• The spy leader declared that Charlotte Linlin was advancing on the meeting hall and urged his forces to hold out for twenty minutes until she arrived.
