Chapter Summaries

Chaos forced Belo Betty to join him, made her a wanted member of the Richest Group, and finalized the group’s profiles and roles. After settling the Red Light District issue with the Five Elders, he prepared to pursue Pure Gold.

• Chaos invited Belo Betty to join him, threatened her with a golden sword, and made her submit.
• Five days later, Chaos toured the sea with Betty, who complained about her new title, role, motto, and bounty.
• Betty examined the wanted posters for Stussy, Sand Crocodile, and Don Archino and judged Stussy her main rival.
• Chaos reflected that the Five Elders had let the Red Light District matter end and that the Marines had agreed to the Richest Group’s profiles after he spoke with Kong.
• Chaos remained wary that the World Government would eliminate him and turned his attention to Pure Gold.

Stussy assessed the Red Light District’s losses and the rivals who had seized its territory while news spread about the Richest Group’s new representatives. Chaos reunited with Crocodile and a badly exhausted Archino, then introduced Betty, whose insult provoked Crocodile.

• Stussy read about her bounty and Betty’s new title, then worried about competing with Betty for beauty and charm.
• Stussy reviewed a report listing Underworld powers that had taken Red Light District territory and decided to consolidate what she still controlled before settling scores later.
• Chaos arrived on a primitive island and found Archino emaciated and barely conscious after five days with Crocodile.
• Archino launched an unconscious attack at Chaos, who knocked him out and decided to question him after he rested.
• Crocodile smoked a cigar and called Betty a revealing woman, and Betty retorted by calling him ugly.

Chaos watched Crocodile defeat Betty, expanded the Goddess of the Heavens with newly mined Pure Gold, and ordered his crew to prepare for their journey to the New World. He then tasked Stussy with investigating Bartholomew Kuma and planned to claim a large share of the Underworld under the code name Dark Emperor.

• Crocodile and Betty fought, and Chaos left them to settle their rivalry with a warning exchange.
• Chaos mined gold, refined it into Pure Gold, and grew the Goddess of the Heavens to his 170-meter limit.

• Chaos stopped the argument, ordered Crocodile to prepare dinner, and helped Betty to her feet.
• Chaos asked Stussy to investigate Bartholomew Kuma and told her to handle minor Underworld factions before he confronted the major powers.
• Chaos planned to claim at least half of the Underworld market and chose Dark Emperor as his code name.

Crocodile explained the team’s principles to Betty, who decided the group was dangerously reckless and clashed with him in a fight. The next day, Chaos and the others reached the Red Line Continent, ready to cross toward the New World.

• The next day, Chaos, Crocodile, Betty, and Archino traveled across the sea in the Golden Lamborghini, with Archino acting unusually aggressive after his failed challenges.
• The group spotted the Red Line Continent and prepared to cross it to reach the New World.

Chaos and his crew searched beneath the Red Line Continent and discovered extensive ancient ruins, leading Chaos to suspect the continent concealed a buried kingdom and other historical secrets. They left without exploring further, but the ruins gave Chaos new theories about the continent’s origins and the Great Kingdom.

• Chaos drove the Golden Lamborghini up the Red Line Continent and explored its barren summit with Betty, Crocodile, and Archino.
• Chaos asked Crocodile to dig beneath the continent after recalling theories about buried treasures and secrets.
• Crocodile dug deep enough for the group to find an ancient cavern filled with glowing crystals and crumbling ruins.
• Crocodile dug farther and uncovered more ruins that looked like a town or kingdom buried inside the continent.
• Chaos theorized that the Red Line Continent had grown taller over time and considered whether it had once been the Great Kingdom or Laugh Tale.
• Chaos declined to keep searching, and the group left the ruins unexplored.

Chaos took his crew to Thunder God Island to train while they waited for news about Pure Gold, then returned to the Red Line Continent to carve a boastful message into both sides. He left the crew to endure the island’s lightning and Seastone training as he admired his finished work.

• Chaos brought Crocodile, Betty, and Archino to Thunder God Island, explaining that he planned to train there for one to three months while they waited for news about Pure Gold.

• Chaos departed in the Golden Lamborghini, leaving Betty to put on the outfit and get struck by lightning as she tried to rise.
• Chaos returned to the Red Line Continent and used the Goddess of the Heavens to carve his name and title into both sides.

• Chaos returned to camp and watched Betty and Stussy exchange kicks while Crocodile and Archino observed.

Chaos set out with Archino to recruit Bartholomew Kuma, whose paw-pad ability could help the Richest Group recover from injuries and exhaustion. On Seiken Island, Kuma refused to join without a fight, and Archino’s battle-mad personality emerged as the confrontation began.

• Chaos read about the young Bartholomew Kuma and decided to recruit him, then chose Archino to accompany him.
• Chaos told Crocodile to stay behind and keep Betty and Stussy from turning their ongoing fight serious.
• Chaos and Archino traveled to Seiken Island and found Kuma leaving a hot spring.
• Chaos offered Kuma a place in his group, but Kuma removed his gloves and prepared to resist.
• Archino’s fractured personality took over, and he charged at Kuma.

Chaos used his Golden Birdcage to trap the battlefield and slaughtered pirates who charged at him while watching Archino fight Kuma. Archino and Kuma unleashed their strongest attacks, and the resulting explosion devastated the island as the Birdcage broke apart.

• Archino fought Kuma inside the Birdcage, using his extreme heat and Geppo to keep up with Kuma's speed and attacks.
• Chaos killed nearly a hundred greedy pirates with a rain of golden weapons, then ignored the survivors as they charged again.

• Archino raised his temperature to its limit and formed a giant mass of red light as Kuma compressed air into a miniature paw for their final attacks.
• Archino's Sun Apollo collided with Kuma's Paw Impact, creating a mushroom cloud that shook the island, broke the Birdcage, and killed countless people.

Chaos traveled to Kamabakka Kingdom to recruit Ivankov, bringing Kuma and Archino with him. After Chaos subdued the island’s residents, Ivankov remained standing as the chapter ended.

• Kuma accepted Chaos’s offer to join the Richest Group, and then used his ability to repel his own and Archino’s injuries.
• Chaos and his companions arrived at Kamabakka Kingdom, where Chaos spotted Ivankov and sent a golden dragon whisker toward him.
• Ivankov dodged the whisker and demanded to know what Chaos wanted as the okama prepared to fight.
• Chaos unleashed his Conqueror’s Haki, knocking most of the okama unconscious while Ivankov stayed conscious.

Chaos recruited Ivankov into the Richest Group and arranged identification papers for him and Kuma. At the group’s gathering on Thunder God Island, Ivankov clashed with Betty and transformed himself into a woman to prove his attractiveness.

• Chaos trapped Ivankov and the Okama Kingdom warriors inside a golden Birdcage, then invited Ivankov to join the Richest Group.

• Ivankov challenged Betty after she insulted him, then injected himself with Female Hormone and began transforming into a woman.

Chaos planned another month of training on Thunder God Island to develop the Gold-Gold Fruit, while Crocodile explained the Richest Group’s principles to the others. The group prepared to train with Seastone cuffs as Ivankov and Kuma considered Crocodile’s lecture.

• Ivankov transformed into a woman and then a handsome man, provoking jealousy from Betty and Stussy but little reaction from the men.
• Chaos announced that the group would stay on Thunder God Island for another month and asked Crocodile to explain the group’s principles and culture.

• Stussy gave Ivankov and Kuma Seastone cuffs and explained that they would need to get used to wearing them before training.

Chaos trained in the lightning lake on Thunder God Island, strengthening his body and Gold-Gold Fruit powers, but he still could not develop the laser eyes or Golden Karmic Fire he wanted. After his crew reached the lake, Chaos decided to rest and agreed to fight Archino after they ate.

• Chaos studied how to develop Golden Divine Fire and Golden Karmic Fire while Betty and Ivankov fought, Crocodile sparred with Kuma, and Archino trained with Stussy.
• Over twenty days, Chaos adapted to the lightning and increased the Goddess of the Heavens to 170 meters, while his crew trained and fought among themselves.
• Chaos's crew reached the lightning lake, where he admitted he still had no idea how to develop the laser eyes or Golden Karmic Fire.
• Chaos told Crocodile to catch Sea Kings and agreed to Archino's challenge after they ate.

Chaos fought Archino on Thunder God Island and gained an idea for developing a new high-temperature gold attack. As the Richest Group stayed on the island, news of them faded while events continued across the seas.

• Archino attacked Chaos with his Heat-Heat Fruit, and Chaos blocked his strikes before overpowering him with a punch.

Chaos and the Richest Group traveled toward the Mariejois Sea to search for Pure Gold, while the World Government and Explosion Pirates remained unaware of their approach. Chaos revealed that he planned to find the life-preserving metal and share it with his subordinates.

• On Momigert Island, Nero Dal worried that the Pure Gold reports were false, while Ssubik preferred to keep enjoying their stay.
• At a covert World Government office, Number 10 learned there was still no trace of the Lantern Fish and that Ssubik and Nero Dal remained at the Draifort Hotel.
• The World Government abandoned plans to kill Ssubik and Nero Dal, deciding that provoking the Explosion Monarch would be too dangerous.
• Chaos, Crocodile, Stussy, Archino, Betty, Kuma, and Ivankov traveled high above the sea on a cloud, showing off their transformed appearances.
• Ivankov asked where they were headed, and Chaos said they were going to the Mariejois Sea to find Pure Gold and share it with the group.

Chaos and his group planned to lure the Lantern Fish near Alchemy Island with the Pure Gold Goddess of the Heavens, while rival forces gathered on Momigert Island. After learning Number 10 had hurt Stussy, Chaos vowed to protect his subordinates and kill anyone who harmed them.

Chaos and the Richest Group arrived at Momigert Island, where Stussy created a spectacular display that drew the attention of the island’s residents and Marines. The spectacle turned into an attack on the Marine branch, and Don Archino emerged from a fiery impact as Number 10 watched.

• Chaos reached Momigert Island with Betty and Stussy, then said they would kill the Marine branch’s Number 10 before looking for a Lantern Fish.
• Stussy formed seven enormous figures from black clouds and lightning, making the island’s residents believe gods were approaching.
• Mantis King Ssubik and Chameleon King Nero Dal recognized the figures as representations of the Richest Group, while Number 10 identified Stussy as the one creating them and prepared to arrest Gild Tesoro.
• The cloud giants advanced on the Marine branch, and the leading figure smashed its hand down, reducing the base to rubble while leaving most of the Marines with minor injuries.
• A mass of crimson fire struck the ground and melted the surrounding terrain into magma, after which Number 10’s companion identified the emerging figure as Don Archino.

Archino, Ivankov, Betty, and Stussy fought Number 10 and the pteranodon across a battlefield of lava and ruins. The pteranodon survived Stussy’s powerful kick and unleashed a storm of cutting attacks at the group.

• Archino struck Number 10 with a Haki-coated punch, blasting him backward through the heat and magma.

• The pteranodon spread his wings and sent a storm of crescent-shaped Tempest Kicks toward Stussy, Betty, and Ivankov.

Number 10 overwhelmed Archino with his crystal powers until Crocodile and Kuma intervened, and Crocodile met Number 10’s attack head-on. The watching pirates wondered why the Golden Emperor was absent while his top subordinates faced the CPO agent.
