Chapter Summaries

The Navy prepared to wage all-out war against the Straw Hat Crew at Egghead to ensure Vegapunk’s execution, while Sakazuki also planned to exploit the conflict on Hachinosu. Meanwhile, Dragon learned Kuma might be restored if the memories he sealed away could be found, but he ordered Sabo to focus on the Revolutionary Army’s coming operation.

• The Five Elders authorized Sakazuki to deploy Navy forces freely, and they discussed the danger of the Egghead operation escalating into a war on the scale of Marineford.
• Brannew briefed Navy officers that the Straw Hat Crew might rescue Vegapunk, and Sakazuki ordered the Admirals and more than half the Navy’s elite forces to prepare for all-out war.
• Sakazuki sent a massive fleet from Marineford toward Egghead, intending to attack Hachinosu if Blackbeard defeated the Straw Hat Crew there.
• Lindbergh told Dragon that Kuma’s control chip was being disabled but that Kuma had lost his sense of self, possibly by sealing away his memories.
• Dragon concluded that Vegapunk might know where Kuma’s memories were and told Sabo to leave Kuma’s rescue until after the Revolutionary Army’s operation, then ordered Ivankov to assemble the Grand Line Army.

Teach killed Van Augur to steal his ability, then fought Luffy, Sanji, and Reiner with his new teleportation and Erosion-Erosion powers. Reiner repeatedly bombarded the apparently unconscious Teach with lightning, determined to make sure the fight was over.

• Teach extracted Van Augur's Devil Fruit ability and threw him aside, leaving him dead as Luffy and Sanji watched.

• Reiner followed the Lightning Pillar with repeated lightning attacks on Teach and Luffy, while Sanji watched from a safe distance.

Reiner, Luffy, and Sanji fought Teach after he revived and caught Reiner off guard. Teach unleashed a vast Dark Realm that sealed their abilities, leaving the fight to physical strength and Haki.

• Teach revived, sealed Reiner's ability, and attacked him, but Reiner struck him hard enough for Luffy and Sanji to land a combined attack that sent him crashing into a mountain.

• Reiner and Luffy prepared to fight Teach with physical strength and Haki as Teach approached them.

Luffy and Reiner fought Teach while their abilities were sealed, and Luffy used Gear Second to overwhelm him. After defeating Teach, Luffy collapsed from the technique’s strain, while Reiner pinned Teach to the ground with Bone Swords.

• Luffy activated Gear Second despite his rubber ability being sealed and rushed Teach with powerful attacks.

Reiner defeated Teach and claimed the Dark-Dark Fruit, then learned Aokiji wanted to travel with the group to Egghead. After returning to the plaza, Reiner reassured the others that Aokiji was no longer an enemy and told them to hear his explanation.

• Reiner left the beach after claiming Teach's Dark-Dark Fruit and joined the others at the plaza.
• Reiner found Aokiji waiting in the shadows, and Aokiji explained his conflicted feelings about having joined Teach's crew.

• Reiner told the group Aokiji was not an enemy and said Hancock was recovering from surgery.

Reiner’s group left Hachinosu and flew toward Egghead, while they questioned Vegapunk’s suspicious request for help. As dawn neared, they reached Egghead’s stormy waters as Lucci’s warship approached on a mission.

• Reiner told Nami to wake Hancock, and the group prepared to leave Hachinosu before dawn.
• Usopp, Sanji, and Aokiji questioned how Vegapunk’s secret research had been exposed and why he had asked pirates he barely knew for help.

• As the Straw Hat Crew slept in flight, Reiner told Nami they were nearing Egghead’s waters.
• Lucci and his companions sailed toward Egghead aboard a military warship and discussed the possibility that the Straw Hat Crew would interfere with their mission.

Reiner and the Straw Hat Crew arrived at Egghead, where Aokiji warned that the World Government intended to destroy the island and its civilians. They found Vegapunk fleeing from Bonney, who was attacking him because he had not turned her father back.

• Aokiji said the World Government would destroy Egghead and its people, and agreed there was still time to evacuate the civilians.
• The Straw Hat Crew entered the research facility and called for Vegapunk, while Robin wondered whether a killer had already executed him.

• Luffy nearly struck Bonney before Vegapunk and Sanji stopped him and explained that she was not an enemy.
• Bonney demanded that Vegapunk turn her father back and threatened to kill him if he did not.

Jewelry Bonney confronted Luffy and Vegapunk about her father, Bartholomew Kuma, after learning that Kuma had secretly helped the Straw Hats. Vegapunk said he could not restore Kuma, then led Bonney and the others to see the last thing Kuma had left behind.

• Bonney attacked Luffy, and Robin and Sanji identified her as Jewelry Bonney, the daughter of Bartholomew Kuma.
• Bonney demanded to know why Kuma had helped the Straw Hats, and Reiner explained that he had promised Kuma to protect her.
• Reiner gave Bonney a Vivre Card that pointed toward her, and the group moved to a lounge to talk.
• Vegapunk revealed that Bonney was only twelve years old, and Bonney demanded that he restore Kuma.
• Vegapunk said he could not restore Kuma and led Bonney and the others to a sealed room containing the last thing Kuma had left behind.

Bonney opened the chamber holding Kuma’s memories, but Luffy accidentally absorbed them after she sent him flying into the memory bubble. Vegapunk said Kuma’s chance of regaining consciousness was gone, and the chapter ended with Pudding offering to extract the memories from Luffy.

• Bonney ignored Vegapunk’s warning and opened the chamber containing Kuma’s memories, prompting Luffy to rush in after her.
• Luffy restrained Bonney, but she used her power on him, weakening him until he flew into the bear-paw-shaped memory bubble and absorbed it.

• Bonney blamed Luffy and attacked him, but Reiner stopped her before Nami punched Reiner into a wall.
• Zoro suggested Pudding could solve the problem with her Memory-Memory Fruit, and Pudding said she could extract the memories.

Luffy witnessed Kuma’s traumatic memories, from his enslavement and escape from God Valley to the gentle life he built with Ginny in Sorbet Kingdom. As Vegapunk explained Kuma’s later history to Bonney and the others, a World Government warship approached and the Seraphim vanished from the laboratory.

• Luffy watched Kuma endure abuse as a child, lose his mother and father, and escape the God Valley hunt with Ivankov and Ginny after eating the Paw-Paw Fruit.
• Kuma and Ginny settled in Sorbet Kingdom, where Kuma helped the poor by taking their pain onto himself.
• Vegapunk told Reiner and the others that Kuma and Ginny led a rebellion against Sorbet’s king, were imprisoned, and later joined Dragon’s Freedom Fighters after their liberation.
• Bonney demanded that Vegapunk explain Kuma’s unconsciousness and later life, but he refused to reveal what happened after Kuma joined the Revolutionary Army.
• Lilith reported that a World Government warship was approaching and that all the Seraphim had disappeared from the laboratory.

Vegapunk realized that one of his satellites had betrayed him and controlled the Seraphim, while CP0 and the Marines prepared to attack Egghead. News of the coming war spread worldwide, and Elbaf’s giants set sail to help the Straw Hat Crew.

• Reiner suggested that one of Vegapunk’s satellites had leaked the research and taken control of the Seraphim, and Vegapunk concluded that he himself was the traitor.
• Lucci learned from Kizaru that CP0 should wait for the Marines before acting, but he rejected the warning and ended the call.
• Kizaru spoke with Garp aboard the Marine fleet, and Garp admitted he had come to protect Luffy before claiming he and Sengoku were there to supervise.
• The World Economy News Paper announced that Akainu had assembled 138 warships and around seventy thousand Marines to attack the Straw Hat Crew at Egghead.
• People across the world read the news, while Dalton and Dr. Kureha worried about the Straw Hat Crew’s chances.
• The giants of Elbaf decided to help their friends and sailed out on a huge pirate ship.

Vegapunk’s allies divided up to protect him and Egghead as CP0 and the Seraphim moved against them. Reiner intercepted Lucci’s group and left Lucci badly beaten, while the conflict on Egghead continued.

• Reiner, Sanji, and Vegapunk reasoned that the Seraphim’s attack was meant to divide the group, and Vegapunk planned to search Punk Records for the infiltrator.
• Nami sensed six CP0 agents arriving, so Reiner, Nami, Robin, and Usopp went to intercept them while Zoro, Franky, Brook, and Hancock went after the Seraphim and the Going Merry.
• Sentomaru evacuated Egghead’s workers and deployed Pacifistas, then learned from Vegapunk that the World Government was trying to kill him because he had researched the truth of history.
• Reiner’s group confronted Lucci, Kaku, Stussy, Blueno, Kalifa, and S-Bear, and Robin and Usopp disrupted Blueno’s attempt to open escape routes.
• Reiner stopped S-Bear from sending Lucci toward the facility, dodged Lucci’s attack, and kicked Lucci into a building.

Lucci challenged Reiner but was swiftly beaten, and the Straw Hat Crew prevented CP0 from escaping with him. Blueno nearly rescued Lucci through an Air Door, but Reiner stopped them and declared that they lacked the strength to take anyone from him.

• Lucci and Kaku transformed into their awakened Zoan forms and attacked Reiner alongside S-Bear.
• Reiner overwhelmed Lucci, slamming him into a metal wall and kicking him into the path of S-Bear’s Ursus Shock, which left him gravely injured.
• Usopp and Nami stopped Kaku and Blueno from reaching Lucci while Robin and the others kept CP0 under pressure.
• Kalifa proposed that Blueno take Lucci through an Air Door while Stussy stayed behind to cover their retreat, and Stussy volunteered to hold off Nami.
• Blueno reached Lucci and opened an Air Door, but Reiner teleported behind them and pinned Lucci down before Blueno could escape.

Reiner defeated CP0’s assault and forced Kaku, Blueno, and the Seraphim to retreat, while Lucci was sent flying. Stussy revealed that her apparent last stand had been a ruse and asked Reiner’s group to let her see Vegapunk, claiming she had come to help him.

• Blueno and Stussy attacked Reiner, but he shrugged off their strikes and overpowered them and S-Bear.
• Stussy ordered S-Bear to target Usopp and Robin, but Reiner teleported with Lucci and intercepted the Seraphim’s attack, sending Lucci flying.
• Kaku ordered CP0 to retreat, but Stussy charged Reiner and he caught her with his Black Hole ability.
• Blueno closed the spatial passage and escaped with Kaku, Kalifa, and the Seraphim after Stussy urged him to leave.
• Reiner released Stussy and explained that he had known she was pretending to risk her life; she then asked to see Vegapunk and offered to wear Seastone handcuffs.

Reiner learned that a force of seventy thousand Marines, including Akainu and the Admirals, was closing in on Egghead, and went to retrieve an ancient robot that could provide a powerful trump card. The Marine fleet entered Egghead waters and began forming an encirclement, while Reiner returned toward the laboratory prepared to fight.

• Sanji showed the others Zoro lost in the laboratory warehouse, while Reiner and his group brought the shackled Stussy inside.
• Stussy told Reiner, Robin, Nami, and Usopp that seventy thousand Marines were approaching Egghead, including Akainu, the Admirals, Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, two hundred Pacifistas, and three Seraphim.
• Reiner left to retrieve the ancient robot that held Joy Boy's powerful Conqueror's Haki, while Usopp briefly clung to him before deciding not to come along.
• Akainu ordered the Marine fleet into Egghead's blizzard, and Sengoku and Tsuru worried that the inexperienced recruits might act recklessly.
• The Marines emerged from the blizzard and began establishing an encirclement, while Reiner spotted their fleet from above the clouds and headed back toward the laboratory, ready for war.

Luffy witnessed Kuma’s memories as Kuma and Ginny joined Dragon’s Freedom Fighters, later renamed the Revolutionary Army. After Ginny died from a terminal illness, Kuma left the army to raise Bonney, and the chapter ended with him searching for a cure after she developed the same disease.

• Dragon and Ivankov freed Kuma and Ginny, and both joined the Freedom Fighters, which became the Revolutionary Army.
• Two years after Ginny was captured and taken to Mary Geoise, she contacted Kuma, confessed her love, and died from a terminal illness.
• Kuma left the Revolutionary Army and raised Bonney in the church in Sorbet Kingdom, where she called him Daddy.
• When Bonney developed blue scales like Ginny’s, Kuma searched for doctors and learned that she could not be exposed to natural light.
• Kuma asked Bonney where she wanted to travel, and she said she wanted to visit the Sky Islands because their clouds sounded delicious.

Kuma’s memories revealed the sacrifices he made to cure and protect Bonney, culminating in his final emotional confession before his consciousness vanished. Luffy woke on Egghead after experiencing Kuma’s memories, and learned that Marines had surrounded the laboratory while Sanji and the others fought outside.

• Kuma found Vegapunk, who offered to treat Bonney’s Azure Jade Scales in exchange for Kuma’s blood for clone experiments.
• Saint Saturn imposed conditions on the deal: Kuma had to become a Shichibukai and undergo modifications that would erase his consciousness, while Bonney would be held as a hostage.
• After Bonney’s treatment, Kuma served the World Government and sent her letters that CP agents intercepted, while he continued to watch over her and the Straw Hat Crew.
• Before his final modification, Kuma wept as he told Vegapunk that he wanted to live and stay with Bonney; afterward, his memories and consciousness vanished.
• Luffy awoke in the Egghead laboratory after seeing Kuma’s memories and found Uta, Pudding, Vegapunk, Aokiji, and three children in transparent bubbles nearby.
• Pudding told Luffy that Marines had surrounded them and that Sanji and the others had gone out to fight.

The Marines surrounded Egghead as Sentomaru and the Pacifistas prepared to defend the island, while the Straw Hat Crew emerged to face them. Fujitora opened the battle with a meteor shower, which Zoro destroyed, and Sanji then leaped down to join the fight.

• Sentomaru refused Kizaru's request to stand down, and Tsuru advised Akainu to send the vice admirals against Sentomaru while holding back the Marines' Pacifistas.
• The Marines spotted the Straw Hat Crew emerging from the laboratory, and the vice admirals prepared to engage them.
• Reiner and the crew faced the Marine fleet from the Island Cloud, while Zoro singled out Fujitora as his opponent.
• Fujitora summoned more than a dozen meteors toward the island, and Zoro cut through them and blew them apart with his Nine-Sword Style.
• Zoro landed beside Sentomaru and challenged Fujitora, then Sanji leaped down from the clouds as the Marines prepared for battle.

The Marines launched a full assault on the island, while Sanji, Zoro, and the Pacifistas fought to hold the shore. Sengoku realized the Pacifistas were bait, but Reiner ordered their self-destruction before the Marines could escape their blast range.

• Sanji struck the Marine fleet with a Tremor-Tremor-powered kick, and Ryokugyu raised a forest wall that absorbed much of the impact.
• Akainu ordered a full fleet bombardment and sent the officers ashore, while the Pacifistas used bubble shields and lasers to resist the attack.
• Doll and Bluegrass fought the Pacifistas, while Zoro wounded Dalmatian and then clashed with Fujitora; Sanji intercepted Ryokugyu on the island.
• Sengoku suspected the Pacifistas were bait and ordered soldiers below vice admiral rank to retreat from them, and Akainu relayed the order.
• Reiner realized the Marines had uncovered the trap and told Vegapunk to detonate the Pacifistas early; Vegapunk activated their self-destruction sequence.

Reiner unleashed Franky’s mechanically modified undead beast army against the Marines landing at Egghead, turning the coast into a fierce battle. The Marines’ vice admirals and rear admirals counterattacked, but the fight continued as they cut into the beast horde.

• Fifty Pacifistas self-destructed, killing or injuring hundreds of Marines before Akainu ordered the fleets to land.
• Kizaru flew around the island to pursue Vegapunk while Reiner left him to Aokiji and the Seraphim and asked Franky about the undead army’s preparations.
• Franky reported that the modified beasts and weapons were ready, and Reiner sent the undead legion plunging from the clouds onto the Marine landing force.
• The beasts used their lasers and immense bodies to destroy warships and devastate the Marines, who regrouped and continued their assault.
• Onigumo, Smoker, Chaton Tokikake, and Momousagi Gion led Marine officers into the horde and opened a path for the elite vice-admiral and rear-admiral squad.
