Ch. 859Starting Over

Chaos survived by transferring his consciousness into his clone, but he had lost much of his strength and both Devil Fruits. After Im’s apparent death, the Richest Group defeated the remaining World Government forces, while much of the Starfish World lay devastated.

  • Chaos awakened in his clone, discovered he had lost half his soul power, and found that the Soul-Soul Fruit and Gold-Gold Fruit were gone.
  • Chaos’s allies inspected the blast site and found no trace of Im after a black hole swallowed the remaining debris.
  • The Richest Group arrived at the battlefield, and Crocodile and Stussy offered Sakazuki, Kuzan, Issho, and the other Marines a chance to surrender.

  • The Richest Group left the remaining Five Elders and World Government remnants to be dealt with, while the battle and resulting disasters had killed seventy percent of the Starfish World’s population and transformed its geography.

Ch. 860Sun God Nika Form, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Gaia Great Emperor Form

After the Richest Group seized control of the world, it purged resistance and rebuilt the Sea Star while Chaos recovered and sought the Soul-Soul and Gold-Gold Fruits. At a banquet a year later, Stussy revealed that Luffy’s Rubber-Rubber Fruit was actually a Mythical Zoan, prompting Chaos to wonder whether belief could create new legendary forms.

  • Stussy sent Enel to clear the Four Seas, Crocodile to clear the Grand Line, and Archino to clear the New World of resistance.
  • Blackbeard and Kaido joined the Richest Group after Enel restored them to their prime, while Caesar mass-produced robots to help rebuild the Sea Star.
  • Baccarat brought Chaos the Soul-Soul Fruit, which he ate to help restore his half-whole soul and prepare for his plan to turn the Sea Star into a Homie.
  • Over the following year, the Richest Group used its technology to rebuild the Sea Star and control its natural disasters.
  • At a banquet, Stussy presented Chaos with the Gold-Gold Fruit and Luffy’s Rubber-Rubber Fruit, explaining that the latter was the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Sun God Nika Form.
  • Chaos speculated that belief in a figure could create a corresponding Mythical Zoan, such as a Gaia Great Emperor Form.

Ch. 863Not What I Imagined

Ch. 864Soul Master, Gold Master

Ch. 865I Became a God

  • Over twenty years, the Richest Group ruled the Demon World while searching for a way back to Seastar, and Chaos ordered Caesar to investigate breaking through space.
  • After another hundred years of research, Caesar built a device that opened a short-lived passage at the place where the group had first arrived.
  • Chaos sensed another world beyond the passage and entered it despite the danger, leaving Stussy, Enel, and the others behind.
