Chapter Summaries

Douglas Bullet overwhelmed Gild Tesoro and split Gran Tesoro in two with a single punch, ending the fighting inside the venue. Afterward, Oboro revealed he had long known Rob Lucci was a World Government spy and told him he was free to use his abilities but had nowhere to go except with the Hell Pirates.

• Bullet used his awakened Clank-Clank Fruit to grow into a colossal fused giant, drawing inorganic objects from across Gran Tesoro toward him.
• Tesoro unleashed Golden Divine Punishment, but Bullet shattered it with a punch that smashed through Tesoro’s golden giant and split the ship in two.
• Oboro stopped controlling the airflow and surveyed the venue, where the Hell Pirates had killed everyone; he bowed to the corpses and declared the performance over.
• Lucci confronted Oboro and asked when he had discovered his identity as a spy for the Five Elders.
• Oboro said he had known from their first meeting, explained that the government had branded Lucci a traitor, and told him he could use his strength openly but could not leave the Hell Pirates.

After Bullet’s attack left Gran Tesoro sinking, Oboro claimed the ship for the Hell Pirates and led Lucci through the ruined city. Lucci killed a group of government agents, confirming his defection, and was left with no path back to the World Government or any chance of completing his mission to kill Oboro.

• Oboro declared Gran Tesoro would become the Hell Pirates’ territory and walked away from the devastated performance hall with Lucci.

• Oboro remarked that Lucci looked more at ease, while Lucci remained silent, numb after losing his former identity and purpose.

Oboro and the Hell Pirates finished destroying Gran Tesoro and planned to rebuild it elsewhere using Gild Tesoro’s wealth and the underworld’s connections. With Bullet holding off government reinforcements, Oboro ordered the crew to leave the ruined ship behind.

• Bullet returned with the unconscious Gild Tesoro and then flew off to fight the arriving government warships.
• Oboro and Rob Lucci waited among Gran Tesoro’s ruins until Enel, Crocodile, and the rest of the crew arrived.

• Oboro said Tesoro’s Devil Fruit and worldwide investments could fund a new Gran Tesoro with help from Doflamingo and the maritime underworld.
• Oboro ordered the crew to inform Bullet that they were leaving the abandoned giant ship to the Marines and World Government.

Oboro learned that Shanks, Kaido, and possibly the World Government had joined forces against the Hell Pirates, so he ordered the crew to hide in Dressrosa while they rebuilt Gran Tesoro. He believed the uneasy alliance would eventually collapse under its own mistrust and demands.

• Bullet reported that dozens of warships had pursued the Hell Pirates and that the battle had cost them only a few dozen crewmen.
• Oboro announced that the survivors had officially joined the Hell Pirates and revealed that Shanks and Kaido were searching for them, possibly alongside Big Mom and the World Government.

• Rob Lucci argued that returning would entangle Doflamingo further, while Shiryu urged the crew not to fear a fight.
• Oboro reasoned that Shanks, Kaido, and Big Mom distrusted one another and that their alliance would likely collapse, then told the crew to stay hidden and focus on rebuilding Gran Tesoro.

• Gild Tesoro awoke in a seastone-shackled cell aboard the Blood Pluton and realized his Gran Tesoro had likely been destroyed.
• Oboro and Rob Lucci showed Tesoro a newspaper announcing the World Government's all-out war and the alliance against the Hell Pirates, then told him it was already ten days old.
