At Impel Down, Muzan became Chief Warden, while Magellan received a new food container designed to prevent his breathing from contaminating his meals.

• Imu forbade the Five Elders and the World Government from presenting themselves as gods, though he approved spreading legends that he had been asleep or in seclusion.

• Ayame Yomogawa begged Ranode to save Kurusu, and he offered either transforming him into a Kabaneri or supplying nutritious Sea King meat.
• When Ayame chose the food, Ranode said Kurusu was not important enough to warrant it and pressured her to offer something else.

Ayame Yomogawa rejected Minister Ranode’s demand that she trade her dignity for help saving Kurusu, and the World Government removed him from his post. Ayame and Kurusu received a direct line to the Otherworld Strategy Committee and medicine that restored Kurusu’s strength, though further pills would be costly.

The World Government chose to have Water 7 shipwrights learn battleship construction techniques in the Demon Slayer World rather than begin building ships locally. Deputy Director Jerome explained the plan to Water 7's leaders and shipwrights, who were eager to learn, and Mr. Tom asked how the trip would affect the Sea Train project.

• Sengoku repeatedly asked the Industrial Division when battleship construction would begin, but the Five Elders refused to provide Marine Headquarters with ships from the Demon Slayer World.
