Chapter Summaries

Douglas Bullet submitted a sweeping plan to reorganize Army Headquarters into elite expeditionary forces supported by garrisons and Otherworlders. Army leaders began debating the proposal, which would turn main battle troops into highly trained, versatile special operations soldiers.

• Military leaders awaited Aramaki and Issho’s Paramount War challenges while the Myriad Worlds Battle Power Tournament continued.
• Douglas Bullet submitted a reform plan to Marshal Raymond, arguing that narrow Star Gate passages made enormous expeditionary armies unnecessary.
• Bullet proposed three main battle legions of five divisions each, with other troops serving as garrisons, reserves, or guards in conquered worlds.
• Bullet recommended equipping main battle soldiers with enhanced gear and assigning Kabaneri warriors to squads to create chaos behind enemy lines.
• Bullet proposed that every main battle soldier hold at least the rank of lieutenant and eventually qualify to wear a Coat of Justice.
• World Government leaders took the plan seriously, and Army Headquarters began working around the clock as the proposal stirred an uproar throughout the Army.

The World Government expanded its military production and prepared a major settlement and defense project in the Giant World while continuing civilian aid and legal reforms. Imu upheld the Celestial Dragons’ untouchable status, insisting that he would destroy the World Government if he ever lost control of it.

• The Industrial Division completed and launched nine battleships based on the Yamato, fitted with upgraded systems and High-Explosive Jet Bullets, and began arranging their handover to Marine Headquarters.
• Imu limited plans for aerospace carriers and fighter jets to three carriers and their aircraft because he expected better technology to become available through future Star Gates.
• The World Government organized millions of laborers to build safety stations, hospitals, barracks, and defenses on the Canberra Continent, sending Pica and Teach there and preparing supplies and garrison forces.
• The World Government provided aid to impoverished kingdoms, helped them improve living conditions, and sought reductions or waivers of Heavenly Tribute for some of them.
• Police Stations gained public trust, and the Judiciary worked with legal experts to improve the laws while leaving the Celestial Dragons untouched.
• Imu maintained that the Celestial Dragons’ status could not be challenged and said he would destroy the World Government rather than let it fall outside his control.

Imu watched Levi battle Sicilian while Wano Island continued to develop under the World Government. In the Flower Capital, Kagaya Ubuyashiki considered accepting Muzan Kibutsuji’s alliance after Celestial Dragons took his young daughters, leaving him wondering how anyone could make them relinquish what they wanted.

• Imu watched Levi and Sicilian fight, while he judged Muzan Kibutsuji’s victory over Goethe to be inevitable.
• Levi and Sicilian fought evenly through the snowy forest, thrilling Levi and the audiences watching across four worlds.
• Wano Island expanded its airports, Swordmaster Hall, Sea Ninja Village, and Famous Blade Town under World Government rule.
• Kagaya Ubuyashiki watched Muzan’s display of strength and told Amane Jingū and Kiriya that he should make a decision about Muzan’s proposed alliance.
• Kagaya recalled that he had sent his four young daughters to serve a Celestial Dragon because he feared the consequences of refusing, and wondered what influence could make a Celestial Dragon give up what they wanted.

Sengoku worried that the Navy was losing influence as the World Government favored the Army and Air Force, then watched the Demon Slayer Corps team reveal enhanced abilities in the tournament. Garp reported that Issho had defeated several Navy officers, leaving Sengoku doubtful that the Navy could retain him.

• Sengoku lamented the Navy’s declining role in the conquest of the Otherworld and the World Government’s transfer of its authority and resources to other branches.
• Sengoku watched Giyu Tomioka, Muichiro Tokito, Kyojuro Rengoku, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and Iguro Obanai fight Team 11, noticing their markings, improved strength, Haki, and Crimson Blades.
• Garp burst into Sengoku’s office and reported that Issho had defeated Momonga, Comil, Yamakaji, and other Navy officers by himself.
• Garp explained that Issho’s Press-Press Fruit let him manipulate gravity, and Sengoku suspected the World Government would transfer him to the Air Force.

Imu assessed the Demon Slayer marks and their lifespan cost, then considered ways to increase Sea Star’s strength by spreading combat techniques. He decided to recommend investigating the marks and making the Breathing Technique public first, while postponing the release of Haki training.

• Imu watched Giyu Tomioka, Muichiro Tokito, and the others compete and recognized that Muichiro had awakened the mark, Transparent World, and Crimson Blade first.
• Imu considered whether the mark’s lifespan cost came from depleted life force or a curse, and ordered Stussy to report his proposed investigations to the Five Elders.
• Historia compared the mark and Transparent World to Titan Power and the Ackerman Clan’s talents, then watched the matches continue.
• Imu considered teaching the Breathing Technique throughout Sea Star to raise its overall combat strength.
• Imu decided to make the Breathing Technique public first and postpone making Armament Haki and Observation Haki training public.

The tournament’s second round ended with Yasopp leading the scores and many contestants facing elimination matches to determine the Top 100. Meanwhile, senior officials voted on publicizing the Breathing Technique, and Sengoku proposed restricting children’s access to it and real blades.

• The final two tournament matches ended in internal fights as teammates competed for individual points, and Yasopp finished as the sole contestant with fourteen points.
• Contestants with ten points faced elimination matches to decide who would advance to the Top 100 ranking matches.
• Cliff Clay held a State Council vote on making the Breathing Technique public, with five officials supporting the plan and four opposing it.
• Zephyr and Tsuru warned that widespread practice could cause conflict and accidents, while Gareth Malik argued that the Judiciary and police could manage the risks.
• Sengoku suggested passing a law that barred children under fifteen from practicing the Breathing Technique or using real blades.

Imu focused on developing his abilities and received the World Government’s decision to announce the Breathing Technique after the Paramount War. When Historia tried to reveal the next Otherworld, Ymir blocked her Future Sight and warned that it was a “tough nut” requiring more winter clothes, leaving Imu to prepare for a powerful, cold world.

• Imu considered expanding Life Return and mental power and arranged to study a Nue-form Kabaneri’s fear mental energy.
• Stussy delivered the Five Elders’ finalized report, which said the Breathing Technique would be announced after the Paramount War.

• Historia reported that Ymir refused to let Imu visit the Coordinate Space or exchange future memories and warned that the next world was a “tough nut” requiring more winter clothes.
• Imu’s Haki briefly crushed everyone aboard Noah, then he let Historia go and resolved to prepare for the next world.

The Five Elders discussed Ymir’s refusal to provide useful information about the next Otherworld and planned ways to prepare for its cold climate. They decided to seek visions from Kagaya Ubuyashiki while warning that both his visions and Ymir’s information had limitations, leaving the World Government to rely on intelligence with uncertainty.

• Saint Marcus Mars reported that the Biochemical Research Institute was cloning the Hallucigenia and that Tate’s Fish-Man Special Forces were searching for more in the Giant World.
• Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro ordered preparations for the next Otherworld’s cold climate, and the Elders suggested using Borsalino, Sakazuki, and Aramaki to alter its environment.
• Saint Marcus Mars and Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro proposed asking Kagaya Ubuyashiki to use his Future Sight through the Pillars assigned as advance members.
• Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro suggested strengthening Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his son with Cell Enhancement Serum and Sea King meat so they could use their ability more often.
• Saint Marcus Mars explained that Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s visions could change, while Ymir could control the memories Empress Historia saw, so the Elders needed to treat both sources cautiously.

The top hundred contestants advanced to the final ranking matches on Elbaf, while Sengoku met with Issho to discuss his wish to serve in the Navy and protect their world. Issho explained why he had kept his eyes and joined, then revealed that Garp’s surprise punch had led him to demonstrate his flying ability, leaving Sengoku baffled.

• The tournament’s top hundred were announced, including Krieg, Kuroobi, and Chew, and the finalists prepared to travel to Elbaf for the ranking matches.
• Sengoku asked Issho why he wanted to stay at Marine Headquarters instead of joining the Army or Air Force.
• Issho said he wanted to protect his world rather than invade others, though Sengoku doubted the Navy could keep him out of future wars.
• Issho recalled the World Government ending slavery and improving relations between humans, merfolk, and Fish-Men, which convinced him to keep his eyes and witness further change.
• Sengoku promised to support Issho’s request to remain in the Navy but noted that his Press-Press Fruit ability suited the Air Force.
• Issho said he had flown on stone slabs to evade Garp’s sudden punch during a spar with Momonga, leaving Sengoku with three question marks.

Imu approved Fujitora staying at Marine Headquarters after the tournament and considered how to develop the Press-Press Fruit. Stussy then demonstrated a Punk Metal Shrinking Tunnel that let oversized people pass through a Star Gate, and Imu saw Saul successfully test it.

• Imu agreed that Fujitora could remain at Marine Headquarters to oversee Sea Star's homeland defense after the tournament.
• Imu considered using the Press-Press Fruit's gravity for training and wrote down possible techniques for Fujitora to research.
• Stussy presented Imu with a Shrinking Tunnel made from Punk Metal and the awakened Mini-Mini Fruit ability.
• Stussy explained that she had managed to fix the shrinking effect in the tunnel, but could create only one.
• Imu summoned Jaguar D. Saul, who walked through the tunnel and emerged at his full size.

The Top 100 contestants arrived at Elbaf, while Kagaya Ubuyashiki used Future Sight to observe a frozen world filled with huge monsters and faced pressure from CIPHER POL to keep using his ability. The tournament ended with Muzan Kibutsuji in first place, and Imu reacted with alarm to the intelligence gathered from Kagaya’s four visions.

• The Flying Warships carrying the Top 100 contestants arrived at Elbaf, and viewers across the four worlds marveled at the island and its giant tree.
• Kagaya Ubuyashiki showed Amane Jingū, Little Shyarly, and two CIPHER POL officials drawings of Muichiro Tokito and Iguro Obanai fighting a monster in a frozen landscape.
• Kagaya told the officials that his visions showed only ice, snow, and large monsters, while the officials ordered him to use Future Sight twice more after a month of recovery.
• Amane Jingū objected to the officials’ plan to make Kagaya repeatedly expend his vitality, but Kagaya agreed to cooperate and invited them to eat Sea King meat.
• The tournament ended on September 2, with Muzan Kibutsuji taking first place because no contestant could overcome his regeneration.
• Imu read the intelligence from Kagaya’s four uses of Future Sight and reacted with alarm.

Imu learned that Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s drawing showed a group of ninjas, leading him to identify the Star Gate destination as the Shinobi World and worry about the Otsutsuki Clan. The first Myriad Worlds Battle Power Tournament’s Top 100 awards ceremony began on Elbaf, where Stella opened the event and introduced Chairman Fernandez.

• Imu studied Kagaya Ubuyashiki’s drawing and recognized the white-clad fighters as ninjas from the Shinobi World.

The chapter recapped the tournament’s top contestants and the rewards they chose, including Yasopp’s selection of the Pierce-Pierce Fruit and Tengen Uzui’s pursuit of Future Sight. After Tengen Uzui, Muichiro Tokito, and Sanemi Shinazugawa took Muzan Kibutsuji toward Wano Island, Chairman Fernandez proposed creating an official system for evaluating valuable items and resources.

• Muzan Kibutsuji won first place, Benn Beckman took second, and Goethe placed third, with Muzan and Benn Beckman choosing advanced Armament Haki manuals.
• Yasopp placed fourth, joined Cipher Pol, and chose the Pierce-Pierce Fruit after the World Government could not provide his preferred Devil Fruits.

• Tengen Uzui, Muichiro Tokito, and Sanemi Shinazugawa took Muzan Kibutsuji to Wano Island, where Muzan became interested in the mark.
• Chairman Fernandez proposed an official evaluation system for valuable items, and the Otherworld Strategy Committee agreed to draft a proposal for the Five Elders.

Imu revised the secret treasure grading proposal and drafted a bill that would make Devil Fruits World Government property and require users to register. After Stussy delivered both documents to the Five Elders, they began debating the bill’s consequences and enforcement.

• Imu renamed the secret treasure grades Mythical, Legendary, Epic, and Inheritance, assigned items to each tier, and designated the Holy Land Treasury to manage them.

As the first publicly broadcast Paramount War drew near, Ikoma returned from Punk Hazard to watch it with Hozumi. He recalled seeing a powerful, regenerating humanlike machine at the Academy of Sciences and wondered what it was.

• Viewers across four worlds learned that challengers who defeated Vice Admirals could fight Admirals for senior Navy ranks.
• Ikoma returned from the Academy of Sciences to the Air Force base on Zou to watch the Paramount War with Hozumi.
• Hozumi welcomed Ikoma home, and they settled in to watch the broadcast together.
• Ikoma remembered seeing a mechanical figure with Nue-like abilities, Kizaru's light powers, and rapid regeneration during testing.
• Aramaki appeared on the virtual screen as Ikoma continued wondering what the figure had been.

Aramaki and Kaido began their televised Paramount War, with Kaido overpowering Aramaki in close combat before Aramaki unleashed his forest-based abilities. Kaido transformed into an Azure Dragon and flew into the sky, where Aramaki’s Haki-coated bamboo spears forced him to defend himself with tornadoes.

• Kaido charged Aramaki across the floating island and met his Haki-coated wooden fist with a blow from his spiked club, producing a shockwave that stunned viewers across the four worlds.
• Aramaki retreated from their contest of strength and used Forbidden Hatred Woods to attack Kaido with Haki-coated tree fists, grass needles, vines, and flower powder.
• Kaido used Kundali: Dragon Swarm to break apart Aramaki’s attacks while Aramaki continued generating more forest fists.
• Kaido transformed into an Azure Dragon and used Demolishing Gust to slice through incoming fists before flying toward the dark clouds.
• Aramaki fired Haki-coated Black Gold Bamboo spears at Kaido, who spun in the air to create three tornadoes and block them.

Kaido battered Aramaki’s fire-resistant forest with a range of attacks, but Aramaki remained safely underground and relied on his regrowing woodland to endure. Meanwhile, Imu’s intelligence on the Shinobi World led the Five Elders to plan a cautious infiltration using Sea Ninja Village.

• Kaido fired a Bolo Breath at Aramaki, but Schima superba trees weakened the flames enough for Aramaki to disperse them.
• Kaido summoned tornadoes, wind blades, lightning, and dark clouds to devastate Aramaki’s forest while Aramaki controlled it from underground.
• Aramaki relied on the five-day challenge rules and planned to endure, though he would need to demonstrate Admiral-level strength to earn the Army Admiral Candidate title.

• The Five Elders discussed the Shinobi World’s powerful ninjas and Ōtsutsuki, then decided to conceal the Star Gate and prepare Sea Ninja Village for reconnaissance and infiltration.
• Saint Shepherd Ju Peter suggested placing Sea Ninja Village under CIPHER POL, noting that ninjas also handled espionage and assassination.

• The Five Elders reviewed how Kaguya Otsutsuki could be resurrected and concluded that capturing a tailed beast or Black Zetsu might prevent it.
• Saint Jaygarcia Saturn warned that Otsutsuki Hagoromo could empower Indra's or Asura's reincarnations, and the Five Elders agreed they would close the Star Gate if he empowered Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha.
• Fukurokuju gathered Tengen Uzui, Daikoku, Hanzō, Sarutobi, Wind Shadow, Wind Blade, Thunder Blade, and other Jonin to read the CIPHER POL notice and Shinobi World intelligence.
