Chapter Summaries

Doflamingo sought Duke Ippolito’s protection and offered him a chance to take control of territory, hoping to expand his merchant group while Lin Qi Merchant Group faced attacks. As Figo received another precognitive vision, Doflamingo’s scheme remained uncertain.

• Doflamingo recognized that Lin Qi Merchant Group’s worker-support campaign threatened the major merchant groups and ordered his subordinates to watch pirate crews connected to Hol Merchant Group and Red Merchant Group.
• Doflamingo asked his sister, a Blue Sea Navy Rear Admiral in Capri, to arrange a call with Duke Ippolito.
• Doflamingo told Ippolito about Lin Qi Merchant Group’s campaign and proposed reporting seven merchant groups for colluding with pirates, offering Ippolito the chance to claim their territory.
• Doflamingo told Lucilia that Ippolito might send his own forces against Lin Qi Merchant Group, while admitting that his plan carried risks and that he intended to expand his holdings.
• Figo experienced another precognitive vision while recruiting fishing lamp collaborators.

The Lin Qi Merchant Group expanded its recruitment and lamp-wick deliveries, but Adelino was ambushed by the Pompeo Pirate Crew while transporting a valuable wick. Figo destroyed the pirates and left Adelino safe, while seven merchant-group presidents realized their scheme against the Lin Qi Merchant Group had ended in disaster.

• Over three days, the Lin Qi Merchant Group recruited 109 collaborators, including 65 flame-igniting Kings, and Adelino began escorting lamp-wick shipments by speedboat.
• The Pompeo Pirate Crew surrounded Adelino, took his Body Flame wick, and revealed that they had targeted his delivery deliberately.
• Adelino suspected Figo was a mole, but Figo appeared beside him after a blinding flash and told him the delivery was safe and the pirates were gone.
• Adelino saw the Pompeo Pirate Crew's wreckage and realized Figo had wiped them out.
• Seven nearby merchant-group presidents discussed missing pirate crews and feared that their plan to disrupt the Lin Qi Merchant Group had brought them into serious trouble.

Doflamingo, Ippolito, and Urik tracked the Lin Qi Merchant Group’s activities as rival powers prepared to move against it. Urik’s investigation linked its founder to an Angel called Figo, and he realized the name matched the King of the Starry Sky.

• Doflamingo warned Ippolito that Hall and the others had attacked, while Ippolito acknowledged the warning and hinted that Doflamingo was still weak.
• Urik decided to protect the seven merchant groups by tying the Lin Qi Merchant Group to Michael and arranging an investigation on Wind Ring Island.

• Doflamingo watched the Lin Qi Merchant Group launch a sales page and announce a zero-lamp-coin event across 485 islands.
• Ippolito learned that Barodale and the others had arrived and ordered his side to make its move.
• Urik heard that the Angel founder might be Michael, then recognized Figo as the name of the King of the Starry Sky.

Lin Qi settled into his new role at the Lin Qi Merchant Group as Figo uncovered and captured spies inside the headquarters. Figo then confronted Barodale, a four-lamp Lunarian King waiting to ambush him, and struck him down with a single elbow.

• Barodale attacked Figo, but Figo struck him in the face and sent him crashing back onto the boat.

Urik warned Ippolito that the Lin Qi Merchant Group might be connected to Figo, but Ippolito’s agent Barodale had already attacked Figo and been defeated. Figo later confronted Doflamingo, revealing that Ippolito blamed him for the attack and that the Lunarians would now target him.

• Urik rushed to Ippolito’s estate and warned him that Gaston Figo might be behind the Lin Qi Merchant Group.
• Ippolito learned he had sent Barodale to attack the group and discovered he could not reach him by Den Den Mushi.

News of Gaston Figo’s arrival on Flame Star reshaped the plans of merchant groups, Celestial Dragons, and the planet’s other powers. At the Naval Branch, Figo rewarded the Marines and announced a new mission to form a Fishing Lamp Group.

• Gaibugu panicked after learning that the King of the Starry Sky was Figo, while the Lin Qi Merchant Group welcomed a surge of recruits and Doflamingo joined the transport team.

Bichi discovered a powerful Level 5 Flame in the deep sea, escaped its deadly attack at the cost of his left arm, and alerted the Mulunbu Merchant Group. Human dukes prepared a Fishing Lamp Feast to search for the flame and invited Figo, who agreed to join but asked whose ship he could board.

• Figo admired the Nodili as Urik explained its history and the loss of its Ship Spirit.
• Figo and Urik reached the bow, took fishing rods, and cast their lines into the sea.
• Figo quickly caught a Cannoneering Lamp wick, surprising Urik with his ability.
• Figo caught a Flying Ship Control Lamp wick and then an Infant Rearing Lamp wick, leaving Urik increasingly suspicious.
• Figo reeled in another Lamp wick, and Urik realized it was his own Three-Eyed bloodline ability.

Figo used his unusual talent for catching lamp cores to help the Nodili Merchant Group's anglers, then devised a way to fish with a hundred rods at once. After a short run across the sea, he returned with more than a hundred flames and lamp cores, astonishing Urik and Ippolito.

• Walker investigated why the Nodili Merchant Group's anglers had caught almost nothing and found that anglers farther along the ship were making good catches.
• Figo's crowded platform of lamp cores showed Walker and the others why their catches had been meager, while Urik praised Figo's skill.

• Figo returned with more than a hundred flames and lamp cores, leaving Urik and Ippolito stunned.

Figo’s extraordinary lamp-angling drew the dukes’ attention as the group reached the waters where a Level 5 Flame had been found. After learning the flame was linked to Level 5 swordsmanship, Figo revealed that he had ignited his sixth flame in swordsmanship, leaving the six dukes stunned by his strength.

• Figo’s experiment caught seven flames and 134 wicks in five minutes, astonishing the dukes and worrying Ippolito about the effect on merchant-group trade.
• Eleven days later, the six ships reached Cassius’s target waters, where his people reported that few outsiders had heard of the Level 5 Flame.
• Mulunbu said the lamp angler who discovered the flame had died and offered to guide the group to its recorded location; the dukes suspected he had concealed the truth about the man’s death.
• After hearing the discoverer’s wound resembled sword energy, Figo identified the Level 5 swordsman as Fauci and said he had killed three long-lived Celestial Dragons.
• Figo emitted a burst of sword energy and revealed he had ignited his sixth flame in swordsmanship, stunning the six Five-Lamp experts.

Bichi woke in a cave after escaping Mulunbu’s torture and learned that a man from Mulunbu’s group had rescued him. He was shocked to hear that Mulunbu had also sent people after his wife and son.

• Urik and the dukes of Capri searched the sea for the Level 5 Flame but found no trace of it.
• Mulunbu ordered his subordinates to keep searching for Bichi and Xiuba, while warning them not to reveal the truth to the dukes.

• Bichi learned he had been unconscious for nearly half a month and asked Xiuba to help him rescue his wife and son.
• Bichi returned to the cave, furious after hearing that his young son had been badly burned in a fire, and warned Xiuba that Mulunbu was panicking because the dukes had arrived.

• Mulunbu ordered a guard to attack Xiuba, but Xiuba defeated him with a punch and then killed Mulunbu and his men, sparing Bichi and his family.
• Xiuba left the cave after telling Bichi to protect his family, then met Figo on the mountain path, who asked whether he wanted help from the Navy.

Xiuba explained that the Merman Race had pursued him for helping Loulan flee and fathering her son, whom they considered part of their plan to claim the Merman Queen’s true inheritance. Figo heard Xiuba’s plea for help but left him uncertain by suggesting they pretend they had never met.

• Xiuba fled from Figo and the six dukes, then waited for Figo at the mountain’s foot and asked him for help.
