Chapter Summaries

Kizaru assessed the worsening conflict in East Blue and identified a C-shaped rebel encirclement around the Navy fleet, warning that a larger “arc of rebellion” might surround the Government’s forces. He reorganized the fleet into the Navy East Sea Frontier Army and set Shells Town as the starting point for a counteroffensive.

• Kizaru arrived with reinforcements and heard Vice Admiral Tsuru describe the Mist Pirate Group’s advances, the collapse of Navy bases, and the rise of the Republican Army and Revolutionary Army.
• Kizaru and the officers examined the map and recognized that rebel forces had formed a C-shaped encirclement around the Navy anchorage; a CP agent announced that the Mist Pirate Group had been designated the Deep Sea Rebels.
• Kizaru proposed that an unknown larger force might be supporting the Deep Sea Rebels and forming an even broader encirclement around the Navy.
• Kizaru and Vice Admiral Garp agreed to break the East Blue encirclement by retaking Shells Town, advancing through the Thirteen Republics, and striking the Deep Sea Rebel fleet.
• Kizaru reorganized the forces as the Navy East Sea Frontier Army, took command of the First Combat Group, and assigned Vice Admiral Garp to lead the Second Combat Group.

Uchiha Tokimitsu mobilized his forces to confront an impending Navy campaign in East Blue, while the Navy planned a trap to draw the Deep Sea Rebels into battle. The chapter ended with Vice Admiral Garp accepting Vice Admiral Tsuru’s plan to hold the Anchorage as bait.

• Uchiha Fugaku warned Uchiha Tokimitsu that the Puppet Government Navy was reinforcing its forces and might be preparing for war in East Blue, so Uchiha Tokimitsu summoned the Tailed Beasts, the Great Sages’ avatars, and one-third of the Second Legion.
• Uchiha Tokimitsu led the mobilized forces toward East Blue as Sage Katsuyu worried about the destruction the war could cause, while the White Snake Sage argued that anything they could not possess could be destroyed.
• Asura complained that Uchiha Tokimitsu’s intervention had ended his plans to train the Thirteen Republican Allied Forces, and Uzumaki Ichiraku explained that the National Guard was unfit for battle.
• Uchiha Shiina’s Vanguard Fleet captured Navy posts and attacked moorings, leaving Vice Admiral Garp’s forces struggling to track the Deep Sea Rebels.
• Vice Admiral Tsuru proposed that Vice Admiral Garp draw the enemy toward the Anchorage, where she and the Giant Unit would hold them while Garp returned with the Navy officers by speedboat; Vice Admiral Garp accepted.

Asura’s allies and the Ninja World forces waged an escalating campaign of sabotage and poison against Kizaru’s Navy, crippling Shells Town and unsettling its defenders. Uchiha Tokimitsu approved further assistance from Ryūchi Cave and Sage Katsuyu, then ordered the three battleships to launch an attack.

• Kizaru dismissed CP0’s weak intelligence on Asura and ordered its agent to use assassinations, kidnappings, and coercion against the rebels.
• After attacks across the Thirteen Republics, Uzumaki Ichiraku mediated the deployment of an elite Assassination Unit to strike Shells Town.
• Ninja raids and sabotage battered the Navy’s morale and supplies, while a colorless toxin killed many marines at the port and poisoned Vegapunk.
• Uchiha Tokimitsu authorized the White Snake Sage to deploy combat Ninja Snakes and discussed battlefield healing with Sage Katsuyu.
• Uchiha Tokimitsu ordered Uzumaki Ichiraku to have the three battleships launch a proactive attack.

Uchiha Tokimitsu and his allies lured Kizaru’s fleet toward Dong Island while Uchiha Shiina struggled to maneuver the Vanguard Fleet against Garp’s encirclement. As the Navy prepared to land on Dong Island, Uzumaki Ichiraku’s team withdrew and sent the fleet’s coordinates to Uchiha Tokimitsu.

• Uchiha Tokimitsu left One-Tail Shukaku on Dong Island to follow the Ninja Army Chief Strategist’s arrangements, while Asura led three battleships to lure Kizaru’s fleet toward the island.
• Asura fought Kizaru at sea, then unleashed Water Style: Great Waterfall Technique as the battleships escaped toward Dong Island; Kizaru concluded Asura might be above Vice Admiral level.
• Kizaru speculated that the Deep Sea Rebels might be remnants of the Great Kingdom, deduced that they could be hiding in the Devil’s Triangle, and called Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
• Uchiha Shiina reprimanded two Jonin after Garp’s underwater ambush destroyed two Vanguard Fleet ships, then ordered the fleet to lure the Navy south and use the Calm Belt to attack its rear and maritime blockade.
• Kizaru’s First Combat Group reached Dong Island, and Uzumaki Ichiraku’s team radioed the Navy’s coordinates to Uchiha Tokimitsu before withdrawing from the coming battle.

Uchiha Tokimitsu’s forces ambushed the Navy fleet near Dong Island with a devastating Tailed Beast Ball bombardment, then advanced on the survivors. Kizaru fought Asura and faced the assembled giant beasts and Demon God Statue as Tokimitsu demanded the Navy surrender.

• Uchiha Tokimitsu ordered the concealed fleet to reveal itself and the six Tailed Beasts to fire their Tailed Beast Balls at the Naval Fleet.
• Kizaru tried to intercept the bombardment, but the attacks destroyed the fleet and devastated its surviving crews; he led the remaining Navy officers toward Dong Island.
• Asura attacked Kizaru on the beach with Water Style and Earth Release techniques, but Kizaru broke through and struck Asura’s clone.
• Uchiha Tokimitsu interrupted Kizaru’s attack, and Asura turned to assault the battered Navy officers while the giant beasts assembled on the battlefield.
• Kizaru recognized that the enemy’s overwhelming force made defeat inevitable as Uchiha Tokimitsu advanced in the Perfect Susanoo and demanded surrender.

Uchiha Tokimitsu and Asura overwhelmed Kizaru in a battle that left the admiral badly wounded and driven into the sea, though his fate remained unknown. The Uchiha Dynasty won a major victory that shifted the balance in East Blue.

• Kizaru fought Uchiha Tokimitsu’s Perfect Susanoo, but Tokimitsu and Asura used fire attacks and coordinated strikes to keep him under pressure.
• Tokimitsu used Sage Art and Earth Style techniques while Asura’s Gate of the Kami suppressed Kizaru’s Devil Fruit powers, trapping him underground.
• Kizaru broke free and escaped Tokimitsu’s finishing strike, but Tokimitsu severed his left arm and sent him fleeing across the sea.
• Tokimitsu unleashed a huge wave that swept Kizaru away, and the Ninjas searched the sea until nightfall without finding him.
• Tokimitsu called off the search and withdrew, declaring a decisive victory that shifted the balance of power in East Blue.

After Kizaru escaped the defeat at Dong Island, he revealed the Deep Sea Rebels’ power to Monkey D. Dragon and chose to return to the Navy despite his permanent injury. Meanwhile, Kuzan and Magellan struggled to keep Impel Down supplied while the Great Kingdom Remnant Fleet maintained its siege.

• Uchiha Shiina recalled his fleet and secured the rear instead of pursuing Garp’s retreating forces, while Asura’s Republic Alliance expanded across the East Blue.
• Monkey D. Dragon questioned the injured Kizaru, who identified the Deep Sea Rebels as descendants of the ancient Great Kingdom and described the Navy’s defeat.
• Kizaru realized that the Navy’s scientists might have been captured, then asked Dragon for a fast ship so he could return to Marine Headquarters.
• Kizaru warned Dragon that the vanished Calm Belt and the rising ambitions of powerful factions would deepen the World Government’s troubles, and Dragon agreed to stay in contact.
• Kuzan complained to Magellan about Marine Headquarters’ demands as the besieged Impel Down ran short of supplies and its defenders struggled to fish under bombardment.

Uchiha Tokimitsu recruited the captured Vegapunk by promising him resources and protection in exchange for loyalty, then assigned him research alongside Orochimaru. Vegapunk began work on restoring Sentomaru and studying Haki and Devil Fruit countermeasures, while Tokimitsu ordered him to chart the sea routes to Seastone deposits.

• Uchiha Tokimitsu interrogated Vegapunk, learned that he claimed to be a once-in-five-hundred-years scientist, and offered to support his research in exchange for loyalty.
• Uchiha Tokimitsu placed a Self-Exerting Curse Binding Seal and a Sage Art Seed on Vegapunk, ordered that he receive food and water, and tasked him with drawing a sea chart showing where Seastone was produced.
• Vegapunk transformed Sentomaru, who had lost half his body, into a cyborg, and he and Orochimaru exchanged their knowledge of human modification.
• Uchiha Tokimitsu assigned Vegapunk and Orochimaru projects on the traits needed to cultivate Haki and on ways to counter Devil Fruits.
• Orochimaru reassured Vegapunk that successful research would receive funding, and Vegapunk claimed he wanted the resources to serve Uchiha Tokimitsu better.

Vegapunk’s research and the Ninja World’s plans to rebuild its forces advanced under Uchiha Tokimitsu, while Namikaze Minato’s expedition reached waters near the Land of Wano and encountered the Beasts Pirates. Minato accepted Kaido’s invitation to Onigashima, unaware that Fuzzie F intended to claim their ship as a trophy.

• Vegapunk summarized Devil Fruit strengths and weaknesses, then began research on artificial Devil Fruits and Lineage Factors with Uchiha Tokimitsu’s approval.
• Uzumaki Ashina proposed reenlisting injured retired ninja using mechanical prosthetics, and Uchiha Tokimitsu amended the bill before ordering it submitted to the United Council.
• Namikaze Minato’s group discovered they were near the Land of Wano, but their ship was surrounded by a large Pirate fleet.
• Konan identified the approaching ships as belonging to a large Pirate crew, so Minato led the group underwater and left Shadow Clones aboard their vessel.
• The Beasts Pirates identified themselves and said Kaido had invited the group to a banquet on Onigashima.
• Minato accepted the invitation, and Fuzzie F took charge of the ship while privately planning to present it to Kaido.

Minato's Shadow Clone confronted Kaido on Onigashima, demonstrated the group's escape abilities, and negotiated an alliance against the World Government. Kaido agreed to consider the plan and requested arms in exchange for Seastone.

• Kaido questioned Minato's Shadow Clone and his companions about their ships, while Fuzzie F grew frustrated that the pirates could find no hidden mechanism.
• Minato's Shadow Clone's group vanished from Kaido's council hall using their abilities, then returned and persuaded Kaido to hear their proposal.
• Minato's Shadow Clone proposed that the New World's pirate forces unite to attack the World Government, offering arms and armor technology to limit their losses.
• Kaido asked what concrete benefits the alliance would bring, and Minato's Shadow Clone promised arms for sale while arguing that an attack on Mary Geoise could yield great wealth.
• Minato's Shadow Clone claimed that the group could supply naval cannons and armor but not complete warships, then agreed to deliver one thousand heavy cannons with one hundred shells each in three months.
• King asked how the Beasts Pirates would pay, and Minato's Shadow Clone demanded Seastone.

The World Government struggled to respond to the Navy’s losses and the Great Kingdom Remnants’ expansion, while Sengoku learned that the remnants had allied with Kaido. Namikaze Minato supplied heavy cannons to major pirate crews to provoke conflict with the Navy, leaving him convinced that the other leaders had not seen through his plan.

• The Five Elders ordered a Navy expansion and World Conscription, but Sakazuki and Kuzan rejected their plan to appoint outsiders as Admirals and disconnected from the meeting.
• Sengoku warned the Five Elders that the remnants’ envoy had reached a preliminary alliance with Kaido, citing undercover Marine X Drake as his source.
• The Five Elders ordered CP0 to deploy to the East Blue and told Garp to assist them, while Sengoku refused to expose Drake by placing a bounty on him.
• Namikaze Minato’s heavy-cannon-for-Seastone trade was approved, and Uchiha Tokimitsu arranged for the weapons and shells to contain concealed safeguards.
• Kaido and the other pirate leaders agreed to trade for the cannons; Whitebeard showed interest in Minato’s alliance proposal, while Shanks and Charlotte Linlin dismissed it.
• Namikaze Minato told Nagato that he meant to use the upgraded pirate crews to provoke wars with the Navy, and believed the other leaders had not understood his intentions.

Sakazuki’s attacks on pirate crews provoked the Four Emperors into preparing for war, while Namikaze Minato saw the escalating conflict as an opportunity for the remnants. At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku agreed that the Navy had to fight but moved to limit Sakazuki’s authority as the Navy prepared for a swift campaign.

• Sakazuki ambushed X Drake, seized his heavy artillery, and used it to attack a Whitebeard Pirates detachment, killing one of Whitebeard’s adopted sons.
• Kaido declared war on the Navy, Whitebeard began gathering his forces, and Shanks and Charlotte called on pirate crews to unite against the Navy.
• Namikaze Minato sent headquarters a report on the New World and proposed increasing armament production to intensify conflict between the pirates and Navy.
• Sengoku, Sakazuki, Kuzan, Garp, and Tsuru argued over the Navy’s strategy, with Sakazuki advocating a swift offensive and Kuzan warning that the remnants were the greater threat.
• Sengoku ordered the Navy to prepare for a swift campaign against the Four Emperors and to foment divisions among them, while assigning Tsuru, Gion, and Kake to approach the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
• Sengoku told Tsuru to keep Sakazuki in check, then redirected the meeting toward shipbuilding and troop training.

Sengoku warned Kizaru about the Navy’s precarious position and quietly covered up a CP0 investigation, while Kizaru continued sharing intelligence with Monkey D. Dragon. As Tokimitsu’s forces settled into the East Blue, Dragon agreed to evacuate the Revolutionary Army to the New World, where Kizaru said a power vacuum would soon appear.

• Sengoku questioned Kizaru about refusing a prosthetic and CP0’s investigation, then discussed the New World war and proposed abandoning Impel Down before hinting that he had rewritten the report after a CP0 agent drowned.
• Uchiha Tokimitsu left One-Tail Shukaku on Dong Island, assigned Uzumaki Ichiraku to command the Second Legion in the East Blue, and returned to the Ninja World while Asura continued establishing republics and distributing land to commoners.
• Monkey D. Dragon faced pressure to relocate the Revolutionary Army because Navy and Remnant forces encircled its territory and its supporters resisted land redistribution.
• Kizaru contacted Monkey D. Dragon, warned him that the Revolutionary Army had a mole, and advised him to leave the East Blue for the New World in three days.
• Kizaru promised to arrange coating craftsmen at the Sabaody Archipelago and told Dragon to seize an upcoming power vacuum in the New World.

As the Navy prepared to exploit divisions among the pirates, Namikaze Minato helped Kaido, Whitebeard, and Shanks move toward a Yonko alliance while negotiating arms and supplies. Warring States planned to attack Charlotte Linlin during the alliance meeting and use her death to provoke Kaido, while Charlotte Linlin prepared to leave Totto Land.

• Kaido agreed to pursue an alliance with Whitebeard and Shanks but refused to involve Charlotte Linlin, and Namikaze Minato offered him extra cannon shells in exchange for Seastone.
• Whitebeard reviewed the alliance oath with Marco and planned to attend the meeting on Onigashima in seven days.
• Shanks agreed to attend the alliance meeting despite his crew's smaller forces, driven by a reason he kept secret.
• Warring States persuaded the Five Elders to approve a plan to strike Totto Land, kill Charlotte Linlin, and provoke Kaido into a battle at Onigashima.
• The Five Elders discussed establishing a New Navy after the coming war, and Charlotte Linlin ordered a ship prepared after hearing about the alliance meeting.

Uchiha Tokimitsu reorganized the Ninja World’s forces for the coming war while Marine leaders prepared to confront the pirate alliance. On Onigashima, Kaido, Shanks, and Whitebeard declared their alliance just as Charlotte Linlin arrived, throwing Kaido into alarm.

• Uchiha Tokimitsu established the Star Realm Army from reenlisted retired ninjas and ordered the Third Legion to cross the World Gate, with Fugaku’s forces moving toward East Blue.
• Kakuzu led the Third Legion into the Pirate World, while Uzumaki Ichiraku’s Advance Corps occupied Revolutionary Army territory and encircled Loguetown alongside the other forces.
• Sengoku reviewed reports with Kuzan and Kizaru, including the ninjas’ advance and the Revolutionary Army’s movement into the New World, then prepared to confront the Four Emperors.
• Kaido, Shanks, and Whitebeard announced their alliance on Onigashima and prepared to swear a Blood Oath.
• A Beasts Pirates officer reported that Charlotte Linlin had arrived on Wano, and Kaido reacted in alarm as she approached the gathering.

Charlotte Linlin confronted Kaido over being excluded from his pirate alliance and pledged to help Whitebeard fight the Navy. Meanwhile, Sengoku and the three Admirals launched a surprise attack on Totto Land, but Big Mom’s whereabouts remained unknown.

• Kaido summoned his officers after Charlotte Linlin arrived at Onigashima, then joined her, Whitebeard, and others at a tea party.
• Charlotte Linlin demanded to know whether Kaido was excluding her from his new pirate alliance, and Kaido defended his decision.
• Charlotte Linlin offered to help anyone who fought the Navy, and Whitebeard confirmed he planned to wage war against it.
• Sengoku learned that the Queen Mama Chant was at the harbor but that Charlotte Linlin had not been found, so he ordered communications jamming.
• Sengoku and the three Admirals attacked Totto Land, with Sengoku clearing a path and Sakazuki setting dessert buildings ablaze as they searched for Big Mom.

Sengoku’s Marine assault on Totto Land failed to find Big Mom, who had already gone to Onigashima with her strongest fighters. After learning that the Marines had attacked her homeland, Big Mom ordered the Yonko Alliance to mobilize against the Marines and the World Government.

• Sengoku and the Admirals searched Totto Land, found no trace of Big Mom, and captured Charlotte Ziktor, Charlotte Mascarpone, Charlotte Joscarpone, and Charlotte Nostarde.
• Sengoku concluded that Big Mom had gone to Onigashima and ordered the Marines to return to the G1 Branch with their captives.
• On the return voyage, Kizaru mentioned that the newly drafted Aramaki had been assigned to G1 Branch, while Kuzan said nothing further.
• Onigashima, Namikaze Minato claimed the Old Kingdom could launch a coordinated offensive within one day and probed Shanks about the heavy cannons he had acquired.
• Big Mom sensed that many Homies had died, learned from Capone Bege that Totto Land was under attack, and ordered Whitebeard and Kaido to mobilize against the Marines and Mary Geoise.

After the Marines attacked Totto Land, Charlotte Linlin pushed the other Emperors and Namikaze Minato to mobilize for war. The chapter left Big Mom sailing for the G1 Branch, with Kaido and Shanks committing forces and the Marines learning that the Old Kingdom envoy used an unrecognizable language.

• Charlotte Linlin demanded that Kaido and Namikaze Minato join an imminent offensive after the Marines struck Totto Land, and Minato promised a diversionary attack within three days.
• The Marines eavesdropped on the Onigashima summit, where Sengoku realized that Minato's language was unlike any dialect he knew.
• Minato relayed Uchiha Tokimitsu's decision to launch simultaneous diversionary attacks in the East Blue and toward Impel Down in two days, promising that at least one target would fall.
• Charlotte Linlin revealed that her powerful children and subordinates were aboard her command ship and sailed toward the Marine G1 Branch.
• Kaido ordered King, Queen, and Jack to lead their troops into battle, while Shanks offered Minato a place aboard his ship and indicated he would join the war.

Charlotte Linlin advanced on the Marine G1 Branch while Sengoku prepared its defenses, and the Great Kingdom Remnants attacked East Blue and Impel Down earlier than expected. With Marines stretched across several fronts, Sengoku ordered Sakazuki and Aramaki to draw Big Mom deeper into battle, while Magellan prepared to kill Impel Down’s prisoners.

• Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Nagato watched Charlotte Linlin create a fleet of pie-shaped warships and biscuit soldiers as they traveled toward the G1 Branch.
• Sengoku reinforced the G1 Branch and argued with Sakazuki and Kuzan over how to fight the Emperors and whether to warn Impel Down.
• Charlotte Linlin split her new warships among the Beasts Pirates’ three All-Stars, who began probing the G1 Branch’s defenses while she attacked Marine ships and summoned forces from Totto Land.
• Kuzan received word that Impel Down was under attack, so Sengoku ordered Sakazuki and Aramaki to defeat 'Drought' Jack and lure Big Mom’s forces deeper into battle.
• Uchiha Fugaku and Uzumaki Ichiraku divided their forces to attack Garp’s troops near Loguetown, while the Remnant Fleet bombarded Impel Down.
• Jaygarcia Saturn refused Magellan’s request for support and ordered him to kill every prisoner if necessary, so Magellan headed underground to poison them himself.

Sakazuki’s Navy fleet lured Jack’s squadron into a battle and overwhelmed it with captured Remnant heavy cannons. Sakazuki defeated Jack, who fled into the sea and was apparently killed by a volcanic barrage, just as King and Queen’s fleets arrived.

• Jack spotted Sakazuki’s four Navy warships and formed his ships into a broadside battle line.
• Jack’s squadron fired first, but Sakazuki’s fleet answered with heavy-cannon salvos that battered the pirate ships and left them unable to keep up their attack.
• Sakazuki engaged Jack aboard the Mammoth while Aramaki bound and destroyed Big Mom’s three Pie Warships and recovered their heavy cannons.
• Sakazuki burned Jack badly and bit off his left hand with a magma attack, forcing Jack to cut off the hand and escape through the ship’s hull into the sea.
• Sakazuki blanketed the Mammoth and the surrounding waters with magma, triggered an underwater volcanic eruption, and recovered one of Jack’s tusks.
• King and Queen’s fleets appeared, and Sakazuki ordered the Navy to continue the fight.
