• Loki accepted the end of the battle but vowed to grow strong enough to fight Imu alone in the next war.

• Imu sent its forces to capture powerful prey and searched the seas for strong individuals to consume as it pursued the God King’s throne.

Houka’s attempt to separate Davy Jones from Teach failed, so he turned to a clone scheme to tempt Davy Jones into leaving. Meanwhile, Rocks demonstrated that his awakened Dark-Dark Fruit could erase a contractor’s mark, offering hope for Garp and Sengoku’s recovery.

• Houka arranged for Vegapunk to create a regular Rocks clone and a Lunarian-enhanced Seraphim Rocks, both fitted with control traps, while the Rocks Pirates searched North Blue for the Op-Op Fruit.
• Houka, Charlotte Linlin, Brook, Presley, and Buster performed a soul experiment on Teach, but none of their abilities could distinguish Davy Jones’s soul from Teach’s without risking damage to Teach.
• Davy Jones remained inside Teach, considering escape or negotiation, while Rocks regained hope that the Rocks clones would eventually lure him out.
• Rocks used his awakened Dark-Dark Fruit to erase former Marine Admiral Mu Jian’s Shallow Sea Mark, and Houka’s control over Mu Jian was strengthened.
• Houka said Garp’s Abyss Mark and Sengoku’s Deep Sea Mark might be removable because they were older contracts bestowed by Imu.

Rocks and Houka worked together to remove Buddha Sengoku’s Deep Sea Contract, then turned to Iron Fist Garp’s more dangerous Abyss Contract. As Houka’s Sun God Nika power helped suppress the backlash, a new Rainbow Mist churned outside Lost Island and another separate space began to merge.

• Marcus Peitigong watched Rocks erase Admiral Mu Jian’s Shallow Sea Contract and hoped he could free her from her Deep Sea Contract.
• Rocks began removing Buddha Sengoku’s Deep Sea Contract, but the backlash threatened to kill him until Houka used Nika’s solar power to suppress the demonic energy.

• After resting, Rocks and Houka began removing Iron Fist Garp’s Abyss Contract, whose backlash drained Garp’s life force while Houka’s power restrained it.
• As Houka released more solar power, Rainbow Mist churned in the gray mist outside Lost Island and another separate space began changing and merging.

Houka and Rocks removed the contract marks from Garp, Sengoku, Marcus Peitigong, and Manmayer Gunko, freeing them from Imu at great cost to Gunko. Marcus Peti joined Houka’s Moon Family as Snow Moon Peti, while Gunko remained silent after her mark was removed.

• Houka told Gunko that the Five Elders and Holy Knights had died after Imu reclaimed their contract power, and said she had escaped the same fate by hiding in the Lost World.

Houka explained the state of the world to Petty and Gunko, then released Rocks and the other contract holders from the Lost World. Their return caused Imu to suffer severe backlash, leaving Imu worried that Houka had found a way to break the contracts.

The World Alliance weakened Imu’s rule through unrest while Houka waited to confront the World Government. When Houka’s plan to remove Davy Jones from Teach was ready, Davy Jones escaped into an unawakened Davy Clan–Lunarian hybrid and decided to infiltrate Houka’s circle.

• The World Alliance renamed itself, appointed Tsuru as Fleet Admiral and Mu Jian, Sengoku, and Garp as Admirals, prompting Imu to fear its growing power.
• Over two years, Lily Carnation’s presence worsened divisions among the Celestial Dragons while Presley’s Revolutionary Army fueled revolts across World Government nations.
• Houka prepared to use the Op-Op Fruit and cloned Seraphim to deal with Davy Jones, who was terrified by the soul surgeries performed on Teach.
• When the laboratory staff left to see the Op-Op Fruit, Davy Jones sensed two powerful descendants and chose a Lunarian hybrid with a weak soul.
• Davy Jones forcibly left Teach, took over the unawakened hybrid’s body, and resolved to impersonate him and remain near Houka and Rocks.

Houka trapped Davy Jones in Seraphim Rocks's body and used Vegapunk's Authority Chip technology to bring him under control. Davy Jones was left furious and forced to serve Houka and the others.

• Davy Jones explained that the four gods had reached their power through different paths, but admitted he did not know what would let Houka break through.

Houka forced Seraphim Davy Jones to reveal the location of his centuries-old treasure beneath Fish-Man Island, then went to retrieve it. He reached the Seabed Graveyard and spotted a vast glimmer of gold hidden below.

• Houka abandoned his attempt to learn how to attain God-level Conqueror's Haki and asked Davy Jones about his rumored undersea treasure.

• Houka reached the Seabed Graveyard, saw its many wrecked ships, and spotted gold hidden beneath it.

Houka uncovered Davy Jones's enormous undersea treasure and pumped it into the Lost World, where the Ancient Moon Clan began sorting the gold and artifacts. The discovery of a Great Kingdom emblem revealed the hoard's age, while Davy Jones protested as the others claimed his treasure.

• The clan members sorted through the treasure and chose valuables while Charlotte Linlin ordered the protesting Davy Jones to help move it.

Kozuki Houka’s family spent more than ten days emptying Davy Jones’s deep-sea treasure, while Davy Jones was forced to help under the Authority Chip’s control. By the time Houka returned, the family had grown so tired of sorting treasure that they no longer cared about gold.

• Lu Ya teased the resentful Davy Jones as he carried treasure for the Kozuki family under his orders.
• The Davy Clan reunited in D Village, where Rocks watched Teach eat and felt relieved that Houka had contained Davy Jones and protected the family.

• Houka and his family spent more than ten days emptying Davy Jones’s treasure trove, leaving mountains of gold on Lost Island and making the family numb from sorting it.
• Houka returned and anxiously checked the women and children, who told him they were fine and had simply seen too much treasure.

Houka returned with Davy Jones’s vast undersea treasure and began turning it into a grand Golden Forbidden City, while his family sorted the riches and enjoyed Fish-Man Island. Before entering the Lost World to continue construction, he told Tsuru to let Loki test the giants eager to sail and rescue Lili; a ship’s silhouette appeared in the Rainbow Mist.

• Houka found his family numb to the mountains of treasure, then had clones process the gold for his Golden Forbidden City while the women and children sorted the riches.
• Houka promised Gloriosa and Shakky that they would soon have children and created golden statues for his family.
• Houka returned Wadatsumi and Kraken to Fish-Man Island, spent several days there with his family, and then resumed the Golden Forbidden City project.

• Tsuru told Houka that Hajrudin and Little Oars Jr. had mastered Conqueror’s Haki and were eager to sail and rescue Lili; Houka said Loki could test them so they could keep growing stronger.
• A vague ship silhouette appeared amid the churning Rainbow Mist in the Lost World.
