Chapter 216 Summary: The Red Count and Bullet

Key Plot Points and Events

Douglas Bullet obtains an Eternal Pose to Laugh Tale.

After entering the New World, Bullet saves Buena Festa from being eaten by a Sea King. The creature is carrying an Eternal Pose secretly made by one of Roger’s crew members, pointing to Laugh Tale. Roger had discarded it after discovering it, and it was later swallowed by the Sea King by coincidence.

Bullet and Buena Festa plan the Pirate Expo.

Bullet has no interest in becoming Pirate King; he only wants to surpass Roger and become the strongest. Buena Festa suggests using the Eternal Pose as bait to gather pirates from across the world and draw the Marines into a massive war. Bullet agrees, intending to have Moya organize the event once he becomes one of the Four Emperors. Bullet also hopes to fight every major pirate in the New World.

The Red Count acquires the intelligent tanuki Pato.

Patrick Redfield destroys a Marine warship and then a secret Marine science base after failing to locate Sleeping Ancient Town. There, he finds Pato, a pen that has eaten a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit—Model: Tanuki—through Vegapunk’s technology.

Pato’s power is revealed.

By writing a person’s or object’s name on a leaf, Pato can create a copy of it. These creations can possess combat abilities nearly equal to the originals, making her power extraordinarily dangerous. However, the copies are temporary, the number of leaves is limited, and the leaves can be stolen.

The World Government targets Pato.

The Five Elders are furious that Vegapunk’s powerful creation has been taken. They kill the scientists responsible and their families, then send CP0 to retrieve Pato. However, they recognize that CP0 may be unable to defeat the Red Count directly.

The battle on Cherry Island continues.

Katakuri, after driving back Shiryu, awakens his Mochi-Mochi Fruit and rescues his allies with enormous mochi barriers. He retreats toward Big Mom’s reinforcements, but the battle has already caused heavy losses among the Homies and lower-ranking pirates.

The Moya forces exploit Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Cracker’s Biscuit Soldiers hold back the powerful prisoners from Eternal Hell, while Smoothie attacks in giant form with a massive sword slash. Byrnndi World blocks the attack with a hundredfold bullet. Moya’s forces then prepare to use specialized Water Dials and Seastone riflemen against Katakuri and Cracker, whose Devil Fruits are highly vulnerable to water.

Katakuri predicts the counterattack.

Using his advanced Observation Haki, Katakuri foresees the coming water assault. He warns Cracker, while Big Mom’s Homies rush forward as disposable defenses.
