Kuma and Ginny delivered Rosinante’s intelligence and the Op-Op Fruit to Fish-Man Island, where Nereus sent Nanamo to warn Dressrosa about Doflamingo’s plans. Nanamo informed King Riku, who confirmed the Donquixote Family’s history in Dressrosa, and she considered using the threat to promote insurance in other kingdoms.

• Shanks brought Uta to Elegia to study music, then encountered Nanamo and heard her claim she was there on a state visit.

Nanamo visited Elegia, where Uta’s singing caught the attention of both Nanamo and Gordon, but Uta chose to stay with Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates.

• Alber arrived and proposed opening a path into the spiritual world with his dream ability so they could attack Tot Musica in both worlds.

Alber sent Shanks and several Red Hair Pirates into the Nightmare Demon World so they could strike TotMusica in tandem with Nanamo and the others outside. After they defeated it and rescued Uta, Nanamo challenged Shanks's plan to conceal the truth and leave Uta in Elegia, insisting that Uta deserved to know what happened.

• Alber transformed into his Nightmare Kirin form, explained the dangers of his dream world, and warned Shanks's crew that death inside it would be real.

Nanamo took Uta under her care after Shanks left her a recording explaining their separation, and she brought Uta to Fish-Man Island after Otohime assessed her well-being. Meanwhile, Weevil and Buckin attacked Zephyr’s Marine recruit ship, and Yamato and Chloe headed toward the cannon fire that interrupted their race.

• Shanks left Uta with Nanamo, recorded a farewell message on a Tone Dial, and departed with the Red Hair Pirates.
• Nanamo explained Shanks’s reasons for leaving and told Uta she could help repay his loan by singing; she later took Uta to North Blue for Otohime to assess before bringing her to Fish-Man Island.

• Weevil attacked Zephyr’s recruit ship while Buckin held Zephyr’s asthma medication, leaving him unable to stop the slaughter of the recruits.
• Yamato fell into the sea after cannon fire disrupted her race with Chloe, and the two set off to find who had fired the shots.

• Chloe explained to Yamato that belief might let her Okuchi no Makami ability develop flight, then spotted a Marine warship and recognized Zephyr aboard it.

• Chloe kicked Weevil’s Naginata away from Zephyr and used Secret Technique: Sea Phoenix Piercer to strike Weevil.
• Buckin recognized Chloe’s Fish-Man Karate and suspected she was Nereus’s daughter, then ordered Weevil to retreat by boat.
• Chloe chose not to pursue Buckin and Weevil because Yamato was waiting nearby and a storm was coming.

After Chloe helped Zephyr survive Weevil and Buckin’s attack, the Navy and Ryugu Kingdom adjusted to the incident and the passage of several months. In the East Blue, Arlong’s crew spotted stranded Zeff and Sanji and prepared to rescue them.

• Zephyr treated the surviving recruits and reported Chloe’s intervention to Sengoku, who wondered whether the Ryugu Kingdom was signaling cooperation; Zephyr reminded him that the Navy’s protection of the Celestial Dragons kept it opposed to Nereus.
• Chloe told Nereus about Zephyr’s asthma and vulnerabilities, and Nereus took her to the Sea Forest to test her strength.
• Several months later, Zephyr changed the recruits’ graduation exam to involve other units, Otohime returned to Fish-Man Island, and Jack finished his East Blue journey with Arlong’s crew.
• Arlong and his crew spotted people calling for help from a rock and signaled them, discovering Zeff and Sanji on their eighty-third day stranded there.
• Sanji had learned that Zeff sacrificed his own leg and gave him all the food, while Zeff’s bag held only inedible treasure.

Zeff and Sanji recovered aboard Arlong’s ship after surviving eighty-three days stranded on a rock, and Zeff paid Arlong before asking for a ride to an East Blue shipyard. Back in Cocoyasi, Nami asked whether Arlong would leave, and he suggested she join his country so they could meet again.

• Arlong’s crew rescued Zeff and Sanji, and the ship’s doctor determined they would survive despite their severe starvation and dehydration.
• Arlong learned that Zeff was the former Pirate captain Red Leg Zeff, while Sanji appeared to be an ordinary child, and Zeff recovered enough to cook a feast for the crew.

• Arlong returned to Cocoyasi, where Nami asked whether he would leave and come back, and Arlong suggested she join his country.

• Arlong offered to recruit Nami as a navigator and described the Ryugu Kingdom’s pay and benefits, while Bell-mère objected to taking her to the Grand Line.

Chloe explained to Yamato that the palace’s Poneglyphs were living objects given Zoan Devil Fruit abilities through ancient technology, then discussed Nereus, Bullet, and Nanamo’s plans for Uta. In the New World, Bullet finished another failed challenge against Nereus and decided to kill Doflamingo after reading a report about Joker’s slave trading.

• Nereus explained that Doflamingo’s Joker identity had drawn hidden underworld figures back into the open and ordered Bullet to target them rather than Doflamingo.
• Bullet accepted a list of targets and set off aboard his Catapult.
• Doflamingo learned that several collaborators had been attacked, and Trebol reported that the attacker’s power resembled Pica’s.
• Trebol named Bill and Carat among the victims, startling Rosinante because they matched a list he had not yet written.

As Doflamingo began his plan to take Dressrosa, Nanamo set out with allies to stop him and protect King Riku. She left with Alber, who requested that Doflamingo be left to him, and assigned the group their roles on the island.

Rosinante revealed that Doflamingo’s officers would attack if he failed to return, urging King Riku to call Marine Headquarters or the G-1 Branch for reinforcements.

• Doflamingo tore apart Alber’s flame monster and mocked his fear of fire, but Alber’s flames recalled the fire that had haunted Doflamingo since Homing abandoned the Celestial Dragons.
• Doflamingo threatened King Riku and demanded Alber be handed over, but King Riku said he could not command Alber, who dismissed Doflamingo’s Conqueror’s Haki.
