After helping Moria escape Big Mom, Araki persuaded him to rebuild his strength and guard the Florian Triangle while training recruits. Araki returned to Wano Country and gave Morgans an interview about Kaido’s capture and Wano’s new leadership.

• Morgans visited Wano openly, saw Kaido imprisoned around the Sword Pavilion tower, and interviewed Araki, who introduced himself as Wano’s Sword God and shogun.

Araki explained Yamato’s surrender to Morgans and allowed him to photograph the Sword Pavilion, after which the World Economic Journal reported Kaido’s defeat. The news reached the Whitebeard remnants and the Mink Tribe, where Inuarashi and Nekomamushi began discussing preparations for the young master’s return.

After Kaido’s defeat, the World Government, Revolutionary Army, Blackbeard Pirates, and Navy all turned their attention to Wano Country and its new shogun, Araki. Several delegations arrived to meet him, and he chose to speak with the Navy first.

• The Five Elders discussed Kaido’s defeat and decided to send government officials and Navy personnel to negotiate with Wano Country about its Seastone resources.
• Dragon and Sabo considered contacting Wano Country, and Dragon decided to travel there himself.
• Blackbeard ordered his crew to sail to Wano Country so he could take Kaido’s Azure Dragon fruit.

• Three days later, Araki instructed Kaguya Black Bone to host the visitors and chose to meet Kizaru and the government envoy before Dragon.
• Kizaru admired Kaido’s body displayed outside the Sword Pavilion, and Araki asked the visitors what had brought them to Wano Country.

The World Government and Wano Country finalized their Seastone trade while the Revolutionary Army chose not to interfere. Blackbeard’s crew infiltrated the Flower Capital and attacked its defenders, prompting Araki to ask Kizaru to deal with the traitorous former Warlord.

• The World Government and Wano Country quickly settled the terms of their Seastone trade.
• Dragon, Sabo, and the Revolutionary Army leaders rejected Hack’s suggestion to sabotage the World Government’s negotiations and decided to pursue their own deal.
• Blackbeard and his crew infiltrated the outskirts of the Flower Capital, but Utakata detected them with the Hidden Mist Technique.
• Utakata’s Shadow Clone reported that Blackbeard’s crew was too powerful for Utakata and Mei Terumi to handle alone, so Mei sent a clone to call for help.
• An enormous explosion interrupted Araki’s negotiations, and Araki recognized Blackbeard’s crew fighting Utakata, Mei Terumi, and Kaguya Black Bone.
• Araki asked Kizaru whether he would deal with the former Warlord who had betrayed the navy.

Araki sent Kizaru to help defend Wano against the Blackbeard Pirates, and Kizaru quickly gained the upper hand against Teach. Araki then ordered Guren and Hua Bing to reshape the battlefield, leaving Kizaru ready to unleash his attack.

• Araki used the threat to his subordinates as a reason to postpone signing the trade document, so the government commissioner persuaded Kizaru to go help.
• Kizaru arrived outside the Flower Capital, where the tailed beasts were fighting the Blackbeard Pirates, and Teach warned him not to interfere.
• Kizaru dodged Teach's Dark-Dark Fruit and kicked him away, recognizing that Teach needed to make contact to use his abilities.
• Teach attacked with the Quake-Quake Fruit, but Araki ordered Guren to raise crystal flooring and Hua Bing to cover the sky with ice.
• Araki left the attack to Kizaru, who fired Yasakani no Magatama through the field of mirrors.

Blackbeard and his crew escaped Kizaru’s light barrage by using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to destroy Guren’s reflective crystal field, but Araki’s forces pursued them to the shore. There, the Revolutionary Army had killed Sanjuan Wolf, and as the pirates tried to flee on his corpse, Araki ordered the Mist Village ninja to attack.

• Blackbeard used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to shatter the crystal floor and escape Kizaru’s golden light bullets, and Araki ordered his forces to pursue.

Araki and the tailed beasts overwhelmed Blackbeard’s crew with a towering wave and seven Tailed Beast Bombs. Blackbeard vanished in the blast, but Hack rescued the powerless pirate and brought him to Dragon.

• Blackbeard and his crew were caught between a massive wave and Araki’s seven Tailed Beast Bombs.
• Blackbeard used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to clash with the incoming attacks, and the resulting explosion wiped out most of Sanjuan Wolf and scattered the crew.
• Shiryu, Vasco Shot, and Pizarro surfaced, but Blackbeard was nowhere to be seen.
• Hack dragged the helpless Blackbeard to Dragon and announced that he had captured him alive.

Araki rejected Dragon’s attempt to bring Wano Country into the Revolutionary Army and criticized the movement’s lack of strength and a concrete plan. He advised Dragon to build a powerful force capable of challenging the World Government, leaving Dragon to consider the suggestion.

• Dragon and Sabo delivered an unconscious Blackbeard to Araki as a greeting gift, while the Blackbeard Pirates were captured and taken back to the Flower Capital.
• After Kizaru left following the signing of the Seastone trade agreement, Dragon asked Araki to support the Revolutionary Army’s campaign against the World Government.
• Araki refused, arguing that the Revolutionary Army could not protect liberated countries from the Navy and lacked a workable plan for what came after revolution.
• Araki advised Dragon to develop his ideology and recruit or train powerful allies capable of matching the Marines and the World Government.
• Dragon accepted the advice thoughtfully, while Sabo and Hack were shocked by his response.

Wano Country expanded its power under Araki while the navy reorganized under Akainu, who moved Marine Headquarters into the New World and abolished the Seven Warlords of the Sea system. Dragon tried to recruit Issho for the Revolutionary Army, but Issho chose to assess the navy first and joined it after Akainu agreed to abolish the Warlords.

• Wano Country grew stronger by trading Seastone, raiding pirates, claiming territory, and giving its ninja Devil Fruit abilities taken by Blackbeard Teach.
• Akainu became Fleet Admiral, moved Marine Headquarters from Marineford to the former G1 Fortress, and launched a worldwide recruitment drive to fill vacant Admiral positions.
• Dragon intercepted Issho on his way to Marine Headquarters and offered him the Revolutionary Army's deputy commander position, arguing that the navy could not save the world.
• Issho declined to join Dragon immediately and said he would first see whether the navy could uphold his ideals.
• Issho told Akainu he opposed the Seven Warlords of the Sea system and made its abolition a condition of joining the navy.
• Akainu confronted the Five Elders, secured the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, and kept Issho in the navy.

With the Seven Warlords of the Sea system ending, Doflamingo sought Big Mom’s protection while the Straw Hat and Heart Pirates took over Dressrosa. In Wano Country, the returning Kozuki retainers learned that Araki had become shogun, then chose to take Momonosuke away rather than risk confronting him.

• Doflamingo went to Whole Cake Island to ask Big Mom for support, unaware that the Straw Hat and Heart Pirates had quietly arrived in Dressrosa.
• Inuarashi and Nekomamushi sneaked to Boro Town to meet the time-displaced Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, and Kikunojo.
• Nekomamushi told the group that Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi were dead and that Araki had become Wano Country’s shogun.
• Kin'emon insisted that Momonosuke should reclaim the shogunate, but Nekomamushi warned that Araki was powerful and widely accepted.
• Momonosuke chose to leave Wano Country for now, and the group quietly boarded a small boat and departed.

After escaping Dressrosa, Luffy rejected Law’s proposal to establish territory and sailed into the New World to pursue adventure and become Pirate King. Meanwhile, Kin’emon and Kikunojo prepared to seek help for Wano, as Dracule Mihawk arrived there to meet the Sword God.

• Sabo held Fujitora off long enough for Luffy, Law, and Zoro to escape Dressrosa.
• Law proposed that the Straw Hat crew claim territory in the New World, but Luffy refused and insisted on pursuing the One Piece with his crew.
• Inuarashi and Nekomamushi welcomed Momonosuke’s group to Zou, where Kin’emon decided to return to Wano and Kikunojo volunteered to seek help from Izo.
• Dracule Mihawk entered Wano Country and announced that he had come to visit its Sword God.

Hawkeye arrived in Wano Country to challenge Araki, the Sword God, but Araki had his subordinates face him first. Hawkeye agreed to their challenges, and the chapter ended as Zabuza and Hua Bing launched powerful sword strikes at him.
