Chapter Summaries

Charlotte Linlin defeated two opponents and wounded Borsalino, but Mousse urged the family to retreat into the Mirror World in case the Celestial Dragons used their national treasure. Linlin instead pursued the badly injured Sengoku, and Borsalino rushed to block her as she approached him.

• Charlotte Linlin struck down two opponents, while Daifuku ambushed Borsalino and sent him flying, though he survived.
• Mousse urged Charlotte Linlin and her sons to hide in the Mirror World and recover, fearing the Celestial Dragons' national treasure.
• Charlotte Linlin refused to retreat because Katakuri had not sensed Sengoku's death, and she went after him to prevent a future threat to the family.
• Borsalino found Sengoku embedded in a crater, alive but gravely injured, and carefully began cutting him free from the rock.
• As Charlotte Linlin approached, Borsalino nearly fled, but he regained his resolve and rushed forward to block her path.

Borsalino used his speed and laser attacks to keep Charlotte Linlin from reaching Sengoku, then threatened to repeatedly attack Totto Land if she continued. Charlotte Linlin stopped, leaving the confrontation at a standoff.

• Charlotte Linlin laughed at Borsalino, but his laser barrage hit her repeatedly and drained her Haki while she struggled to catch him.
• Charlotte Linlin continued toward Sengoku, intending to endure Borsalino's attacks and finish him off.
• Borsalino threatened to attack Totto Land and its civilians repeatedly if Charlotte Linlin harmed Sengoku.
• Charlotte Linlin halted Zeus and challenged Borsalino over his willingness to target innocent civilians.
• Borsalino insisted he would do whatever it took to protect Sengoku, and Charlotte Linlin remained silent as she considered her options.

Mousse felt relieved when Charlotte Linlin returned safely, then explained to Katakuri why Borsalino had driven her back and why the World Government might hesitate to attack Totto Land. Katakuri remained unconvinced that the Celestial Dragons lacked a secret weapon, leaving the mystery of their supposed national treasure unresolved.

• Mousse regretted his delayed warning after Charlotte Linlin returned safely and remembered how much she had cared for him.
• Katakuri learned that Borsalino had forced Charlotte Linlin to retreat, and Mousse explained why Borsalino might choose that tactic over risking defeat.
• Katakuri worried that Borsalino could threaten Totto Land's civilians again, but Mousse argued that the World Government also feared an assault on Mary Geoise.
• Mousse reasoned that the Five Elders' failure to use the Celestial Dragons' supposed national treasure suggested they believed Charlotte Linlin posed a threat to Mary Geoise.
• Katakuri questioned whether the national treasure was merely a fabricated rumor, then doubted that explanation because so few people knew of it.

Mousse explained that the World Government and the BIG Pirates had formed a fragile balance of terror, then urged the family to seek peace from a position of strength. He left Katakuri suspicious of his sudden shift from opposing the World Government to pursuing favorable terms for Totto Land.

• Mousse reasoned that the World Government might avoid using its national treasure because activation carried an enormous cost, making both sides wary of escalation.
• Mousse argued that the BIG Pirates could abandon Totto Land and continue conquering, while Charlotte Linlin’s care for her citizens made her reluctant to do so.
• Mousse proposed either negotiating peace or strengthening the family while weakening the World Government, and Daifuku said the family could pursue both while applying pressure.
• Mousse said Totto Land should seek to join the World Government on terms as favorable as Elbaf’s, and Charlotte Linlin agreed.
• Katakuri grew suspicious of Mousse’s new, less ambitious stance.

Mousse outlined how the Charlotte Family would pressure the World Government while avoiding direct conflict, then explained why the King's Fist and Elbaf Spear remained difficult to counter. Charlotte Linlin proposed that Garp could use Elbaf Spear too, leaving Mousse and Katakuri considering how the technique worked.

• Mousse proposed secretly supporting the World Government's enemies while keeping Charlotte Linlin out of direct clashes unless necessary.
• Mousse explained why Elizabello II was unlikely to reveal the King's Fist's secret to the World Government and how its long preparation made it vulnerable if discovered.
• Mousse argued that Elbaf Spear: King's Spear was harder to stop because it required little preparation and was known only to the Charlotte Family and possibly the Giants.
• Charlotte Linlin suggested that Garp's powerful iron fists could be explained by his use of Elbaf Spear, shocking Katakuri and Mousse.
• Mousse considered whether Elbaf Spear required exceptional Haki capacity, which might explain why the Giants had developed it.

After the Marines left their ship untouched, Mousse discovered a newly regenerated Devil Fruit and decided to identify it without risking anyone’s life. News of the BIG Pirates’ victory spread, and Charlotte Linlin’s bounty rose to 6.6 billion Berries.

• Mousse concluded that widespread long-range Haki battles would threaten the Marines’ many bases more than the Charlotte Family.
• After more than an hour without an attack, Mousse led the family out of the Mirror World and back aboard their ship.
• Mousse found a Devil Fruit among the fruit brought by a Chess Pawn and reasoned that it had regenerated after a Marine Devil Fruit user died.
• Mousse decided to ask Stussy for a more complete Devil Fruit encyclopedia and planned to return some of her lifespan in keeping with their agreement.
• Morgans’s World Economic News Paper reported the destruction of Marine Branch G1 and Sengoku’s severe injury, and the World Government later allowed coverage to counter the effect of Roger’s words.
• The World Government settled the BIG Pirates’ bounties, raising Charlotte Linlin’s bounty to 6.6 billion Berries.

Charlotte Mousse’s new bounty complicated his plans to travel to Ohara, while Whitebeard questioned how Charlotte Linlin had defeated two Marines so easily. The chapter then followed James Glenn’s losing wrestling match against Jozu, until Marshall D. Teach urged him to remember his destroyed nation and ruined family.

• Charlotte Mousse received a 100-million-Berry bounty, making him reconsider traveling to Ohara without preparations.
• Whitebeard heard that Charlotte Linlin had defeated Dill and Sengoku in one blow and suspected she had used a powerful technique such as the true Elbaf Spear.
• James Glenn challenged Jozu again, but Jozu’s strength and agility let him pin Glenn despite Glenn’s switch to grappling.
• Vista celebrated Jozu’s victory and pressed Rakuyo to pay out the bets, while Marshall D. Teach insisted James Glenn had not lost yet.
• Marshall D. Teach glared at James Glenn and urged him to remember his nation’s destruction and his family’s ruin.

James Glenn defeated Jozu and earned the Whitebeard Pirates’ admiration, while Whitebeard explained why he was willing to confront the Marines to protect his territory. Glenn remained uncertain whether the crew would help him reclaim Faros Island, until Whitebeard called him over to discuss a newly available opportunity.

• James Glenn transformed, seized Jozu with his trunk, and hurled him toward the sea, where Vista rescued him; Jozu lost the fight.
• The Whitebeard Pirates cheered James Glenn as the “Elephant King,” while Marshall D. Teach quietly encouraged him not to abandon his goal.
• Marco warned Whitebeard that Glenn’s hatred of the World Government and Marines could bring disaster, but Whitebeard said he would shelter Glenn and defend his territory.
• Whitebeard explained to Marco that the crew could no longer avoid the Marines because they had territory to protect, then told him to summon Glenn because an opportunity had appeared.
• James Glenn reflected that Whitebeard’s reluctance to attack Marines had made him doubt the crew could drive them from Faros Island, though he had no intention of leaving and knew he could not restore the kingdom alone.

James Glenn saw the destruction of Marine Branch G1 as a chance to reclaim his old capital, Faros Island, and Whitebeard agreed to support him. Whitebeard later discovered that the Marines had abandoned Branch G3 and realized Glenn could be in danger.

• James Glenn read the news about the BIG Pirates and recognized that Marine Branch G1’s fall had left the New World Marines vulnerable.
• Whitebeard told James Glenn that nearly ten thousand Marines were stationed at Faros Island, then promised to hold back Sakazuki while Glenn attacked.
• James Glenn recruited Little Oars Jr. and asked Marshall D. Teach to bring Marco along for the assault on Faros Island.
• Whitebeard left with Vista’s Fifth Division and Diamond Jozu’s Third Division to confront the Marines at Branch G3.
• Whitebeard found Branch G3 in ruins without any bodies and realized the Marines had deliberately abandoned it.
• Whitebeard concluded Sakazuki had concentrated his forces elsewhere and feared that James Glenn was in danger.

After the Marines reinforced Pharaohs, Whitebeard chose not to risk his crew in a battle to restore James Glenn’s kingdom. Glenn left the Whitebeard Pirates to seek Charlotte Linlin’s help, while Marshall D. Teach condemned his reliance on others.

• Mousse told King James Glenn about Pharaohs’s strategic importance, prompting Glenn to seek refuge and Whitebeard to recognize why the Marines were protecting the island.
• Garp reached Pharaohs and joined Sakazuki and Borsalino, forcing the Whitebeard Pirates’ ships to withdraw without casualties.
• Glenn confronted Whitebeard about his lost chance to restore his kingdom, and Whitebeard let him leave rather than risk his crew in a fight against the Marines.
• Glenn quit the Whitebeard Pirates and sailed away with his original followers, intending to seek Charlotte Linlin’s help.
• Marshall D. Teach privately criticized Glenn for relying on others instead of building power himself.

James Glenn asked Charlotte Linlin for Charlotte Custard’s hand in marriage, offering Pharaohs’ submission in exchange for help restoring his kingdom. Mousse objected and exposed how the deal favored James, leaving Charlotte Linlin to reconsider the proposal.

• Charlotte Brulee recognized James Glenn and brought him to Charlotte Linlin, alarming Katakuri and Mousse because his arrival could revive painful memories of Pharaohs.
• James Glenn asked Charlotte Linlin to let him marry Charlotte Custard, and Mousse immediately objected.
• Mousse accused James Glenn of disguising his request for help restoring Pharaohs as a marriage proposal, turning the Charlotte Family against him.
• James Glenn admitted he wanted both Charlotte Custard’s hand and Charlotte Linlin’s help, offering Pharaohs’ allegiance in return.
• Mousse argued that Charlotte Linlin would conquer Pharaohs and give up a talented daughter while James received a wife and kingdom without paying a fair price.

Mousse rejected James Glenn’s request for the BIG Pirates to restore Pharaohs, and Charlotte Linlin killed him after deciding he had tried to deceive her. The incident left Mousse shaken but convinced that his mother had made the safest choice for the family.

• Mousse told James Glenn that the BIG Pirates would not help restore Pharaohs without a valuable benefit he could offer immediately.
• James Glenn tried to prove his resolve by drawing a dagger, but Mousse dismissed the gesture and did not reveal a possible political arrangement involving Charlotte Custard.
• Charlotte Linlin accused James Glenn of trying to deceive her and forced him to spin the wheel, which took all his lifespan and killed him.
• Mousse was disturbed by seeing his mother’s Soul-Soul Fruit ability kill James Glenn, then concluded that killing him prevented greater trouble for the family.
• Mousse reasoned that Whitebeard was unlikely to retaliate because James Glenn had already left the Whitebeard Pirates.

After James Glenn’s death, Mousse proposed rules for the Charlotte Family’s political marriages, and Charlotte Compote married Baron Tamago. Mousse came to see that the couple suited each other, while Tamago gained a place in the family’s inner circle.

• Mousse reflected on James Glenn’s death and recognized how many talented newcomers died before reaching their potential.
• Mousse suggested that Charlotte daughters should marry talented men without independent followers, preferably men already serving the Big Mom Pirates.
• Charlotte Linlin, Perospero, and Katakuri approved Mousse’s proposal and adopted it as a principle for future political marriages.
• Charlotte Compote married Baron Tamago, who welcomed the match as a chance to use his intelligence within the Charlotte Family.
• Mousse watched Compote and Tamago receive the priest’s blessing and decided they looked like a well-matched married couple.

Charlotte Mousse reflected on marriage while the Tea Party celebrating Charlotte Compote and Baron Tamago brought the BIG Pirates a windfall. Charlotte Linlin announced she would marry and host another Tea Party in a month, leaving the guests and Streusen with an exhausting challenge.

• Charlotte Mousse considered his expectations for marriage and the freedom his standing might eventually give him.
• Stussy brought Mousse books, including a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, which revealed that the unsold fruit was the Swamp-Swamp Fruit.
• Charlotte Linlin’s Tea Party gifts replenished the BIG Pirates’ finances, but the crew still could not sell the Swamp-Swamp Fruit at her demanded price.
• Charlotte Linlin announced that she would marry in a month and hold another Tea Party, then gave the attendees new invitations.
• The guests worried about preparing gifts for the next Tea Party, while Streusen faced the task of creating another unique giant cake.

Charlotte Katakuri challenged Charlotte Oven to train against Borsalino’s tactics, but Oven’s speed and awakened thermal radiation defeated him. Mousse encouraged Katakuri to find a way to overcome the strategy as Katakuri repeatedly recovered and challenged Oven again.

• Mousse persuaded Charlotte Linlin to replace ingredient plundering with paid orders, giving Streusen more time to prepare for the postponed wedding celebration.
• After Borsalino’s threats against the Charlotte Family left Katakuri troubled, Mousse suggested that Oven simulate the Vice Admiral’s tactics in training.
• Oven used his speed and awakened thermal radiation to defeat Katakuri, while Daifuku watched and grew uneasy about the tactic.
• Mousse praised Oven’s improvement and told Daifuku that Katakuri could still find a way to win.
• Katakuri recovered with Life Return and challenged Oven again less than two days later, then continued returning for more duels and suffering further defeats.

After losing nine times to Charlotte Oven, Charlotte Katakuri awakened advanced Observation Haki and learned to see the near future. He defeated Oven in their tenth match, restoring his place as the stronger brother, while Mousse learned more about Katakuri’s abilities.

• Charlotte Katakuri continued battling Charlotte Oven, and his repeated defeats prompted Charlotte Linlin to postpone her wedding date.
• During a match, Katakuri saw a burn appear on his body before Oven’s attack landed and realized he had awakened advanced Observation Haki.
• Katakuri learned to predict Oven’s attacks by observing his own future injuries, but he still lost his ninth challenge because Oven’s speed and reactions made him difficult to evade.
• By the tenth challenge, Katakuri had improved his future sight, used Life Return to strengthen his nervous system, and avoided nearly all of Oven’s attacks.
• As Oven’s Overheat drained his strength, he conceded to Katakuri, who reclaimed his position as the stronger brother.
• Mousse confirmed that Katakuri could control detached parts of his body and gained a deeper understanding of his awakened techniques.

After Katakuri defeated Oven and awakened advanced Conqueror’s Haki, Mousse revealed that his breakthrough still could not stop Borsalino from threatening Totto Land. Mousse proposed using technology to help Katakuri counter the speed gap, and Katakuri realized he could threaten Borsalino’s family in return.

• Katakuri grew stronger through his repeated fights with Oven and awakened advanced Conqueror’s Haki.
• Mousse reflected that the pressure of facing Oven had pushed Katakuri to surpass his former limits.
• Mousse explained that even a stronger Katakuri could not catch Borsalino if the Marine relied on his speed to evade.
• Katakuri became furious when Mousse admitted the fights with Oven had been meant to force his breakthrough, then despaired that he still could not stop Borsalino.
• Mousse said technology could provide Katakuri with enough speed to counter Borsalino, and Katakuri realized he could threaten Borsalino’s family as Borsalino threatened his siblings.

Mousse explained how the BIG Pirates could counter Borsalino’s threat by helping Katakuri reach a speed that would let him ambush Borsalino. Katakuri committed to pursuing the uncertain Devil Fruit replacement plan or Mousse’s more practical Battle Suit backup so he could kill Borsalino.

• Mousse explained that a truce and mutual threats could deter Borsalino, but would not eliminate the danger he posed to the BIG Pirates.
• Mousse proposed that Katakuri reach one hundred kilometers per second so he could attack Borsalino before he sensed the danger and flee.
• Mousse suggested replacing Katakuri’s Devil Fruit with one suited to extreme speed, though he had no proof that a Devil Fruit could be replaced.
• Mousse offered a backup plan to develop a speed-enhancing Battle Suit based on Germa 66 technology.
• Katakuri accepted the long effort and cost required to become fast enough to kill Borsalino, and Mousse agreed that Borsalino had to die while he remained their enemy.

Sakazuki trained with Garp and refined a fighting style that used smaller, faster magma attacks and a pursuing technique he named Hell Hound. After Garp was struck and refused to keep sparring, he paired Sakazuki with Borsalino, whose hit-and-run training helped both men improve and strengthened their bond.

• Garp repeatedly defeated Sakazuki in sparring, exposing the weaknesses in Sakazuki’s oversized magma attacks.
• Sakazuki decided to make his attacks harder to evade by shrinking his magma fists and shaping one into a pursuing Hell Hound.
• Sakazuki hit Garp with Hell Hound, but Garp blocked the magma with Armament Haki and refused to continue sparring because the technique was too dangerous.
• Garp arranged for Sakazuki to spar with Borsalino, who needed to sharpen his Observation Haki and could withstand magma while elementalized.
• Sakazuki tried to hit Borsalino while Borsalino practiced evading, and their repeated clashes strengthened their bond.

Sengoku, Tsuru, and Garp planned to use Big Mom’s Tea Party to create an opportunity to attack the BIG Pirates, despite the danger to civilians. Garp agreed after hearing their arguments, and Sengoku began preparing him for a confrontation with Charlotte Linlin by explaining how her forces had hidden their presence.

• Sengoku reflected on his injuries and resolved to defeat Charlotte Linlin through strategy, even if he could no longer match Garp in strength.
• After Katakuri broke through his limits, Charlotte Linlin sent invitations for the Tea Party and wedding in Totto Land, prompting Sengoku to summon Tsuru.
• Sengoku and Tsuru refined a plan to exploit the Tea Party, though they disagreed over whether to tell Garp about it.
• Garp hesitated because the plan could kill tens of thousands of civilians, but Sengoku and Tsuru persuaded him that the sacrifice could protect the wider world and strengthen the Marines.
• Garp agreed to cooperate but asked how he could face Charlotte Linlin after she had defeated Sengoku, Tsuru, and Borsalino.
• Sengoku explained that Devil Fruit creations had concealed the enemy’s presence from Observation Haki, and regretted that their confidence had left them vulnerable.
