Chapter Summaries

D erased the thoughts of Blackbeard, Kaido, and their crews, and Dragon took command of the merged pirate forces. Im prepared to confront D and Gaia while the Richest Group considered how to reach the God Domain before the coming war.

• D turned Blackbeard, Kaido, and their followers into obedient puppets, then ordered Dragon to merge the Beasts Pirates and Blackbeard Pirates with the Revolutionary Army and reconnect with the Richest Group.
• At Mary Geoise, Im told the Five Elders, Kong, Sakazuki, and the admirals to destroy D and Gaia’s subordinates while Im dealt with D and Gaia.
• Chaos restored Gold City and told Enel and the others that he had not fought D, because he had instead formed an alliance with him.
• At the Gaia Building, Chaos said there was no rush to attack the World Government and urged the group to get stronger and seek entry into the God Domain.
• Chaos identified Archino’s More-More Fruit and Betty’s Inspiration-Inspiration Fruit as possible ways to approach the God Domain, but said they would still need strength beyond their Devil Fruits.

Chaos advised the Richest Group to strengthen their fundamentals and considered ways they might reach God Domain, then began reviewing the history D had shared with him. The history described humanity’s rise from enslavement and the split between Imu’s hegemonists and D’s peaceful faction, ending as the War of the Future began.

• Chaos told the group to improve their fundamentals and suggested they might try dying and being revived or turning Seastar into a Homie to overcome their limits.
• Chaos told Borsalino to choose a second Devil Fruit and ordered the captured Op-Op Fruit user to be rehabilitated for a future Perennial Youth Operation.
• Chaos began studying the memories and images D had given him while Baccarat and Betty handled administrative work.
• Chaos learned that an ancient hero brought back two Devil Fruits, which were eaten by Imu and D, and that more fruits appeared afterward.
• Imu and D led humanity in opposing directions: Imu sought vengeance and human supremacy, while D favored coexistence with other races.
• The other races backed D’s peaceful faction and proposed a Great Kingdom, prompting a war between them and Imu’s hegemonists that became known as the War of the Future.

Chaos learned the history of the wars between D’s peace faction and Imu’s hegemonists, but decided he would keep working with D while ultimately seeking to kill both D and Imu. After news of the Golden Emperor’s apotheosis reached the New World, Luffy and his crew set course to find Ace, while the fall of the Four Emperors left the pirate world without its former ambitions.

• Chaos read the history of the two Wars of the Future and judged Imu’s defense of humanity more sympathetically than D’s ideals, though he planned to kill them both.
• Chaos learned that D had created the Heavenly King, left technology on the moon, and studied Devil Fruits without uncovering their ultimate origin.
• Luffy read that the Whitebeard Pirates had been wiped out and Ace was the sole survivor, and he decided to go see his brother.
• Nami, Zoro, Jinbe, and the others supported Luffy as Jinbe turned the ship toward Ace.
• People across the seas called the Gold City disaster the Gaia Great Emperor’s Apotheosis or the Third God Incident, while the fall of the major pirate crews made the Four Emperors and Pirate King titles seem nearly worthless.

After Aquite lost to Chaos, he joined the Richest Group and spent three years under Crocodile’s reform program. As the Marines struggled to recover, Sakazuki appointed Gion and Chaton as the new Admirals, and they accepted their Devil Fruits.

• Aquite challenged Chaos, lost to his overwhelming power, and was assigned to Kuma and Crocodile for training in the Richest Group’s principles.
• Three years passed as pirate crews fought over the vacant Four Emperor positions, while the Marines remained with only Aokiji and Fujitora as Admirals.
• Sakazuki summoned Gion and Chaton and offered them the Wash-Wash Fruit and Cube-Cube Fruit to make them Admirals.
• Chaton ate the Cube-Cube Fruit, and Gion tearfully ate the Wash-Wash Fruit to carry on Tsuru’s will.

Momousagi and Chaton began their new Admiralty careers as Ace parted from Luffy and returned to Impel Down to rescue his imprisoned allies. Ace freed Katakuri and reached Bullet, leaving their escape still underway.

• Momousagi and Chaton set sail with their crews to prove themselves as Admirals by hunting pirates.
• Ace told Luffy he would keep the Whitebeard flag alive, then left the Thousand Sunny to pursue his own goals.
• The Beasts Pirates and Blackbeard Pirates reclaimed territory while the Richest Group held its lands, and the New World grew tense.
• Ace used the Voice of All Things to enter Impel Down unseen, found Katakuri, and freed him from his cell and Seastone shackles.
• Ace and Katakuri headed to free Cracker, Smoker, and Daifuku, and Bullet greeted Ace from his cell.

Chaos learned that Ochoku had the Inu Inu Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Tanuki Fruit, and hurled a spear across the sea to seize it. He arrived on Yaglands Island, where Ochoku lay pinned by the spear as Chaos descended before the stunned crowd.

• Betty told Chaos that Ochoku possessed the Tanuki Fruit on Yaglands Island, and Chaos decided to retrieve it himself for Stussy.
• Chaos used Observation Haki to locate Ochoku, then hurled a ten-colored spear across the sea toward the island.
• Pirates witnessed the spear’s passage and recognized it as an attack by the Gaia Great Emperor.
• Ochoku and Silver Axe drank in a tavern beside the box holding the Tanuki Fruit when the spear struck, sending Ochoku through buildings and pinning him to a mountainside.
• Silver Axe rushed to Ochoku, and the people of Yaglands Island watched Chaos descend from the sky amid a dramatic display.

Gaia Chaos appeared on Yaglans Island to claim the Tanuki Fruit and confront Ochoku and Silver Axe, who had attacked the Richest Group during the Third God Incident. He captured Ochoku alive for his Regeneration Fruit, killed Silver Axe, and left the island as its people survived.

• Chaos retrieved the Tanuki Fruit from the ruins of a tavern as Ochoku broke free and Silver Axe prepared to fight.
• Ochoku recognized Chaos’s power and fled, urging Silver Axe to escape in the opposite direction.
• Chaos used Almighty Push to block Ochoku’s escape and destroy half his body, then bound him with Chains of Heaven to capture him alive.
• Chaos overwhelmed Silver Axe with ten-colored weapons and gold dust, causing him to explode.
• Chaos departed with Ochoku as the people of Yaglans Island breathed a sigh of relief.

Chaos and the Richest Group opened a road to the underworld while attempting to resurrect Stussy, then tested what happened to Devil Fruit users and ordinary pirates who entered it. The tests suggested the dead traveled onward, but Devil Fruit users had strange, altered souls, and even Haki could only delay the road’s deadly effects.

• The Navy learned that Gaia had killed Silver Axe and taken Ochoku from Yagras Island, while the Richest Group’s attack on Impel Down had freed the Demon Heir and Charlotte Family members.
• Chaos decided to begin Stussy’s resurrection, and he and the Richest Group followed the familiar ritual until a mysterious road to the underworld appeared.
• Chaos ordered Caesar to bring test subjects and sent a Devil Fruit user onto the road, where the man’s body melted and his strange soul vanished into the distance.
• Chaos then tested an ordinary pirate and found that his soul looked human, unlike the beast-human souls of Zoan users and the unusual souls of Paramecia users.
• Chaos continued the tests and discovered that Haki users resisted the road longer, though their Haki was quickly depleted.

Chaos used the Revive-Revive Fruit clone to enter the path through the underworld and drew out the Gold-Gold Fruit devil. After defeating and eating it, he regained the fruit’s power and felt some of his restraints lift, though the world still seemed to reject him.

• Chaos stepped onto the underworld path and found that Armament Haki could withstand its crushing force, while another force extracted the Gold-Gold Fruit’s power.
• Chaos stopped resisting, and a golden devil resembling him emerged from his body and claimed it would take his body.
• The Gold-Gold Fruit devil attacked Chaos with his own fruit techniques, but Chaos overwhelmed it with Haki and powerful attacks.
• Chaos defeated the devil and ate the clump of energy it became, regaining the Gold-Gold Fruit’s power and feeling lighter and more complete.

After learning that Devil Fruit powers came from demons in the Demon World, Chaos and his crew considered how to claim their power without being dragged there. Chaos devoured the incomplete Soul Demon and sent his clone to retrieve Stussy, while Enel fought and devoured the incomplete Rumble-Rumble and Return-Return Fruit demons.

• Chaos explained that demons lived in the Demon World and that consuming one could grant more power, but completely replacing a demon would pull the eater into that world.
• Chaos devoured the incomplete Soul Demon, strengthening his Gold-Gold Fruit and Soul Fruit powers, then sent his Underworld clone to find Stussy.
• Archino asked to enter the Underworld Road, and Chaos agreed that he and the others could go.
• Enel entered the Underworld Road and forced the incomplete Rumble-Rumble Fruit and Return-Return Fruit demons from her body.
• After Enel struggled against both demons, Chaos held back the Rumble-Rumble Fruit demon, allowing Enel to defeat the Return-Return Fruit demon and devour both.

Enel failed to become a god, but Archino forced a brief breakthrough by multiplying his power with the Growth-Growth Fruit. The Richest Group’s members consumed their incomplete Fruit Devils and grew stronger, while Chaos planned to bring Stussy back to life.

• Enel’s power surged, but he failed to break through the barrier to godhood.
• Archino fought the Heat-Heat Fruit Devil and the Growth-Growth Fruit Devil until Chaos restrained the Heat-Heat Devil.
• Archino used the Growth-Growth Fruit to break through and briefly gain a god’s fighting strength, but the power quickly faded.
• Chaos realized Archino had forced his breakthrough and could not sustain his godlike power for long.
• Crocodile and the others defeated and consumed their incomplete Fruit Devils, greatly increasing their strength.
• The Richest Group finished consuming the incomplete devils, leaving Stussy’s revival as their remaining task.

Chaos and his allies successfully resurrected Stussy and celebrated her return at a banquet. Later, Stussy revealed she had chosen the Mini Fruit as her second Devil Fruit, and Chaos suggested investigating the Giant Race to find it.

• Chaos and the others revived Stussy, though they failed to extract the Revive-Revive Fruit from the Underworld clone.
• The group held a banquet in Gold City to celebrate Stussy's return and Archino's strength.
• After recovering from the celebration, Stussy told Chaos she had chosen the Mini Fruit as her second Devil Fruit and still wanted the Kumo Kumo no Mi.
• Chaos proposed investigating the Giant Race and named Lilienstmark as a possible Mini Fruit user.

Chaos gave Borsalino the Tanuki Fruit, then had Trafalgar Law perform the Immortality Operation on him. The operation strengthened Chaos’s life force and froze his appearance and body in time, while Law died; the chapter ended with a pirate party elsewhere in the New World.

• Chaos offered Borsalino the Tanuki Fruit, and she ate it before leaving to develop its abilities.
• Chaos went to Caesar’s laboratory to find the Op-Op Fruit user and requested the Immortality Operation.

• A pirate ship held a party in the New World, where a new crewmate had joined six months earlier.

• Chaos took the Kumo Kumo no Mi from Hody Jones's treasure chest, stopped Hody from breathing, and compelled the charging fish-man pirates to kill themselves.
• Chaos questioned Neptune about the Sea King, then searched his memories and learned that Shirahoshi had joined the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chaos killed Hody Jones and the attacking fish-men, then claimed Fish-Man Island for the Richest Group, leaving Neptune and Shyarly alive. Meanwhile, Sun King Don Archino arrived on an island where the Straw Hat Pirates were gathered.

• Chaos used Almighty Push to erase hundreds of thousands of pirate fish-men and a vast section of Fish-Man Island.
• Chaos returned Neptune's soul to his body and claimed Fish-Man Island for the Richest Group, and Neptune submitted.
• Shyarly realized that the future she had divined had changed, and the survivors slowly recovered from Chaos's Conqueror's Haki.
• Don Archino sped across the New World, evaporating seawater and alarming pirates along his path.
• Don Archino arrived at the Straw Hat Pirates' island, where Jinbe identified him as the Sun King and shielded the others.

Archino attacked the Straw Hat Pirates, killing Momonosuke and devastating the crew while demanding that Luffy summon God D. After Shirahoshi and Lily were seized by an unknown pair of hands, Archino overwhelmed the survivors, leaving Luffy, Zoro, Robin, and Jinbe fighting for their lives.

• Luffy, Zoro, Jinbe, and Robin shattered Archino's Sun Garuda and sent him flying, but their attack did not injure him.

Archino overwhelmed the Straw Hat Pirates, killing Zoro, Robin, Jinbe, and Luffy while capturing Shirahoshi and Lily. Dragon and Garp arrived too late to save them and attacked Archino in fury.

• Zoro used his final attack against Archino, but Archino pierced his chest with heat vision and killed him.
• Luffy and Jinbe fought Archino together, but Archino wounded them and Robin sacrificed herself to block his fatal strike against Luffy.

Chaos learned that Archino was drawing out D and set out with Stussy as the Richest Group ambushed the Revolutionary Army. After Garp and Dragon were killed, the Heavenly King arrived and activated her destructive second phase to target Archino.

• Chaos declined Stussy's suggestion to contact Old Don, then left Gold City with her for the battle.
