Arc 13The Fall of Mary Geoise
Tsugikuni Yoriichi freed slaves in Mary Geoise and fought the Marines, the Gorosei, and Imu before escaping the Holy Land. Branded a criminal and stripped of his Marine standing, he returned to Dressrosa, where Whitebeard arrived and offered him a place among his sons.
- Shanks took control of the Kingdom of Goa, exposed the nobles’ crimes, and began reforms while Tsugikuni Yoriichi supervised.
- Garp warned Shanks against following Roger’s path, then told Yoriichi about the World Conference and the planned Shichibukai system.
- At Sabaody, Mihawk cut off a CP0 agent’s arms, and Yoriichi escorted King Neptune and Queen Otohime to Mary Geoise, where he exposed the slaves laboring beneath a moving walkway.
- Yoriichi and Issho freed the slaves and fought Sakazuki, Kuzan, the Gorosei, and the Holy Knights as Yoriichi killed Celestial Dragons and searched for more captives.
- Yoriichi entered Pangea Castle, confronted Imu and the Gorosei, and escaped the Holy Land wounded after killing Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro.
- The World Government expelled Yoriichi from the Marines, stripped Dawn Sword of its designation, gave him a five-billion-Beli bounty, and threatened Dressrosa with a Buster Call.
- Yoriichi reunited with his allies at Dressrosa and prepared to relocate to Thunder God Island as fearful citizens demanded that they leave.
- Whitebeard arrived at Dressrosa, clashed briefly with Yoriichi, then offered to let him pursue his goals as one of his sons.
