Trafalgar Law prepared to turn himself from a pirate informant into an official Marine ally by staging the Rocky Port Incident. He gathered more than a hundred high-bounty pirates and used his Op-Op Fruit to defeat them as Ace and Koby arrived, leaving Ace to confront him.

• Law used his powers to take the hearts of one hundred pirates, then fought Ace to demonstrate his strength as a candidate for the Shichibukai.

• Law used his new position and base to help Rosinante handle intelligence on Doflamingo, while Thunder God Island and Punk Hazard surrounded the G-5 Branch.
• Urouge and the Fallen Monk Pirates sailed into the waters around Thunder God Island and planned to meet Enel and ask about the legend of Vearth.

Urouge and the Fallen Monk Pirates reached Thunder God Island and met Enel in his Divine Palace. Urouge asked Enel about Vearth and challenged him to show the difference in strength between a Sky Island warrior and a Shichibukai.

• Urouge explained that he had come to learn whether Enel had any clues about Vearth.
• Urouge asked Enel to demonstrate the gap between his strength and that of a Shichibukai.

Enel challenged Urouge to prove his strength in exchange for information about Vearth, then consulted Wright about recruiting him and revealing part of the truth about the moon. Wright also told Enel that Trafalgar Law had become a Shichibukai and was one of their allies, while Enel complained that most of the Shichibukai were already connected to Wright.

• Wright told Enel that Trafalgar Law had become a Shichibukai and was one of their allies.
• Enel complained that six of the seven Shichibukai were connected to Wright, while Wright said Doflamingo would be removed but denied planning to replace him with one of their own.

• Enel used Physical Persuasion and Electric Therapy to beat Urouge, then assessed his fighting ability and potential.
• Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabura, Blueno, and Kalifa left the G-5 Branch training base, while Kaku and Kalifa noted that Kumadori and Fukurou had failed the test.
• Lucci and his companions discussed using Blueno’s Door-Door Fruit for infiltration and escape, and Lucci told Jabura to control the personality changes caused by his Fruit ability.

Wright and Kuina discussed the Red Hair Pirates’ unexplained journey from Elbaf to Marineford and examined clues about Treasure Tree Adam. They left the tree’s purpose unresolved as Wright suggested a connection to a route to Sky Island.

• Wright told Rosinante that Rob Lucci and the other Cipher Pol agents had left believing Wright’s revelations about the Donquixote Family and the secret of a god.
• Kuina reported that Tashigi had used the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit to sneak into an Elbaf village, where she learned that Shanks had gone to Treasure Tree Adam.
• Kuina explained that the giants guarded the tree and that its immense, uniform branches made aerial reconnaissance impossible.
• Wright concluded that Treasure Tree Adam might have a function no one understood and asked Kuina what she remembered about Gan Fall’s Summit of the West Sky route.

Wright theorized that Elbaf and its Treasure Tree Adam had helped Shanks rise to power and reach Marineford, then decided to investigate the Giant Kingdom himself. The chapter ended by identifying Dorry and Brogy, the former Giant Warrior Pirates captains who had been dueling on Little Garden for a century, as potential sources of information.

• Kuina and Wright reasoned that the Summit of the West Sky was likely a route to Sky Island connected to the giants of the West Blue and Treasure Tree Adam in Elbaf.
• Wright suspected that Shanks had used Elbaf’s support to become an Emperor and had earned the giants’ friendship or loyalty, possibly explaining the Red Hair Pirates’ rapid arrival at Marineford.
• Wright decided to travel to Elbaf to learn how Shanks had gained the kingdom’s support.
• The chapter described Elbaf’s gentle giants and explained that the fearsome Giant Warrior Pirates had come from its warlike Warrior Village.
• The narration revealed that Dorry and Brogy, former captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, were still on Little Garden after a century of dueling and were temporarily resting in a truce.

Wright visited Little Garden and challenged Dorry and Brogy to prove he was the Fleet Admiral before asking about Elbaf. The giants revealed their reverence for Carmel Nun, whose intervention had brought peace between the Giant Tribe and humanity.

• Wright found Dorry and Brogy dueling on Little Garden and interrupted their fight.
• Dorry and Brogy recognized Wright as a Marine and doubted his claim to be Fleet Admiral, so Wright knocked them both away with one blow.
• Wright asked the giants about Elbaf, and Dorry and Brogy feared the Marines planned to attack their homeland.
• Wright explained that Carmel Nun had intervened after the Giant Warrior Pirates disbanded, helping establish peace between giants and humans.
• Dorry and Brogy honored Carmel Nun as their benefactor and said her presence had allowed them to duel safely for a hundred years.

Wright told Dorry and Brogy how Charlotte Linlin’s childhood actions led to Carmel Nun’s disappearance and Elbaf’s isolation, then asked them to help him reach Elbaf to investigate its ties to Red Hair Shanks. Dorry agreed to seek the Elbaf king’s permission before Brogy escorted Wright there.

• Wright healed Dorry and Brogy’s injuries with golden Holy Light and explained that Elbaf had once made peace with humanity and the World Government.
• Wright revealed that five-year-old Charlotte Linlin had destroyed a village and killed Yoruru, then that Carmel Nun vanished from Lamb House on Linlin’s sixth birthday.
• Wright explained that Elbaf closed itself off after Carmel Nun disappeared and said the Marines suspected an alliance between Elbaf and Red Hair Shanks.
• Wright asked Dorry and Brogy to help him enter Elbaf openly and promised to defeat Charlotte Linlin without forcing the giants to break Yaruru’s promise.
• Dorry asked for a Den Den Mushi so he could return to Elbaf and consult the king, agreeing that Brogy would take Wright there if the king approved.
