Oran brought Lyliana, Ginny, Bear, and Zack to the Sky Islands, where he used rubber bands and a piece of soil to trade for supplies and a map pointing toward Birka. He explained that they would seek a fair deal with the Shandia rather than trespass on Upper Yard or take their gold, and the group headed toward the Shandia’s territory.

• Oran's group traveled to Birka, where Lyliana and Ginny sampled and stockpiled Sky Apples.
• A golden fruit with lightning-shaped patterns rolled out of the apples, and Oran recognized it as the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Oran gave the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to Ginny so she could defend herself, while Kate chose to remain a non-Ability User. Two years later, Piltover had grown and Lyliana had become exceptionally powerful, until a newspaper reported that Gol D. Roger had found the final island.

• Oran brought the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to a meeting and considered Kate and Ginny as its potential owners.
• Kate and Ginny both initially declined the fruit, but Oran chose Ginny because she needed to protect herself as head of intelligence and because the fruit had appeared while she was picking apples.

• Oran traveled through a wasteland in a guarded hovercar as a high-ranking Origin Project researcher, and a massive blue arrow shot from the ruins toward the vehicle.

Oran oversaw the carving of a mysterious statue in Piltover while people speculated about whom it depicted. In his laboratory, he considered combining the two blades Zephyr had given him with a Zoan Type Devil Fruit.

• In the Project Universe, Katarina helped repel an attack on a convoy and told the doctor that the plan was progressing smoothly.
• Oran continued researching how to combine Magic-Nullifying Stone, monoliths, and Seastone while directing bionoids to carve a statue.

• Golden Lion rejected the news that Roger had been captured and set out, while Indigo followed him.

Three years after Edd War, Golden Lion sought Oran’s help to remove the ship’s wheel embedded in his head, which had begun to weaken him. Oran agreed to treat him in exchange for a full record of his combat abilities and blood, leaving Golden Lion ready to demonstrate his powers.

• Golden Lion learned that the wheel in his head had fused with his tissue and was gradually affecting his strength, so he went to Oran for treatment.
• Golden Lion arrived at Oran’s island by showering the castle with treasure, and Bear confronted him before Ginny warned Oran about the dangerous visitor.
• Oran scanned Golden Lion’s head and said he could remove the wheel within a day, but he demanded Golden Lion’s “everything” as payment.

• Golden Lion unleashed his swordsmanship and Float-Float Fruit powers over the sea while the people in the royal city watched in awe.
• Lyliana vowed to become stronger than Golden Lion so she could protect the island, its people, and Oran.
• Golden Lion cut his wrist to provide blood for Oran’s research and agreed to undergo surgery without general anesthesia.
• After five hours, Oran removed the ship’s wheel from Golden Lion’s brain, and special medicine rapidly healed the wound.
• Oran confirmed through Ginny that Golden Lion had left, then called Zephyr to report that Shiki planned to attack Marine Headquarters.

• Sengoku and Garp departed for Rogue Town, where Oran’s group had arrived as crowds gathered ahead of Roger’s execution.

• Morgans ordered the news prepared for the front page as Roger’s words inspired people across the seas to pursue the Great Treasure.

• Wapol slipped while handling the fruit, which then rolled away across the floor as if it had grown legs.

Oran prepared a new Origin Project combat unit as Douglas Bullet rampaged toward Firefly Island, while Zephyr warned him and offered a chance to flee. Oran chose to confront Bullet, and Zephyr proposed a Buster Call to stop the destruction.

• Oran tested materials with Blitz and built a special combat unit powered by a cannon made using Ginny's blood.
• Croccus settled into his role as director of Piltover Hospital, where staff enforced rules on disruptive pirate patients.

• Oran reviewed Bullet's history, from his childhood as a child soldier to his time with Roger's crew, and prepared weapons for his new creation.
• Zephyr proposed that Fleet Admiral Kong authorize a Buster Call against the island where Bullet's riots were unfolding.

Zephyr persuaded Kong to authorize a Marine operation to capture Douglas Bullet, and Sengoku was assigned to lead it. On Firefly Island, Oran completed and tested Origin Project: Gold, a powerful combat body modeled on Golden Lion, just as Zephyr called with news that Bullet had moved again.

• Zephyr argued that Bullet’s destruction across the seas made him a priority target, and Kong agreed to authorize a Buster Call.
• Kong ordered Sengoku to lead the operation against Bullet, with Gion, Doberman, Borsalino, and Garp commanding the other warships at Lime Island.

• Zephyr called Oran after Bullet made a new move.

Oran deployed Iron Oz to confront Bullet, hoping to demonstrate Shiki’s value to the World Government while preparing his allies for a battle against a top-tier opponent. On Lime Island, Bullet fused his submarine, pirate ships, and surrounding rock into a giant combat form and began fighting Oran in Iron Oz.

• Croccus read news about Bullet on Firefly Island and watched Iron Oz head toward the coast, while citizens wondered why Oran had activated the national defense weapon.
• Oran explained to Ginny that he wanted the World Government to notice Shiki and fund more powerful projects, then warned Lyliana that Bullet could be her first serious setback.

• Bullet boarded his submarine Catapult and fused it with nearby ships and rocks into a giant body, while Oran controlled Iron Oz and began the planned battle with him.

Bullet battled Ginny and Iron Oz, using his Devil Fruit to form a Haki-coated monster while they tested the mech’s weapons and Seastone armor. As Bullet tried to pull the pilot from the cockpit, Shiki attacked him with powerful Wave Slashes, revealing himself as the Golden Lion.

• Bullet fused the Catapult and surrounding wreckage into a beast, but Iron Oz blasted away part of it with an electromagnetic pulse laser.
• Ginny called down lightning on Bullet, but his widespread Armament Haki left him unharmed.
• Bullet and Oz traded punches, and Bullet realized Seastone kept his Devil Fruit from assimilating the mech.
• Bullet fixed his fused monster in place and left it to seize Oz’s pilot, but the cockpit opened and Shiki launched Wave Slashes at him.
• Bullet blocked Shiki’s attacks with successive punches and recognized him as the Golden Lion.

Shiki fought Douglas Bullet, who recognized him as a copy of Golden Lion but was baffled by his matching Devil Fruit powers. Oran used his awakened Book-Book Fruit to shield himself with a book of city walls, then withdrew and left Lyliana to face Bullet.

• Bullet recognized Shiki’s golden hair and sword attacks as resembling Golden Lion, but noticed Shiki lacked Haki.
• Shiki and Bullet clashed in the air, and Bullet grabbed Shiki and slammed him into the ground.

• Bullet broke free, took control of the land, and charged at Oran to attack the people inside Oz.
• Oran blocked Bullet’s punch with his awakened Aegis Shield, a book containing 277 city walls, then vanished and left Lyliana to fight Bullet.

Oran prepared for the Marines’ arrival while Lyliana fought Bullet alone on Lime Island. After Bullet injured her and declared that family made her weak, Lyliana awakened her Conqueror’s Haki and challenged his beliefs.

• Ginny tracked the approaching Marine fleet, and Oran told Bear to stay ready while Shiki prepared to rejoin the battle.
• Lyliana transformed into a dragon, knocked Bullet off Oz, and struck him with her Dragon Flame Cannon.
• Lyliana and Bullet exchanged blows, and Bullet realized she had exceptional potential after she survived his attack.

• Lyliana called Bullet pathetic and unleashed Conqueror’s Haki that contended with his, revealing her kingly qualities.

Lyliana used her full-power Intentional Punch against Bullet before Shiki took over the fight. As Sengoku's Navy force arrived at Lime Island, Kizaru confirmed that Golden Lion was fighting Bullet, while the chapter left the Navy surprised by the situation.

• Lyliana struck Bullet with her full-power Intentional Punch and followed with Elbaf Flame Dragon Spear, but Shiki took over before the battle ended.
