The Navy launched a Buster Call against Bullet on Lime Island while Oran’s combat body, Shiki, fought him and helped wear him down. After Garp defeated Bullet, the Five Elders discussed how to bring Oran’s Origin Project under World Government control and considered the newly proposed Shichibukai system.

• Sengoku ordered Oran and his people to leave Lime Island before the Buster Call, and Borsalino relayed the warning while questioning Oran about Shiki.

• In Impel Down, Bullet told Golden Lion that Oran had used him as a template for a robot with much of his strength and Devil Fruit ability, and Golden Lion admired Oran’s ambition.
• Oran told Zephyr that becoming a Shichibukai would help him gain World Government funding and influence, and Zephyr suggested he could instead join the Marines.
• Oran explained that the combat unit’s prototype would resemble Garp rather than Shiki, and Garp burst into Zephyr’s home, bringing engineering soldiers to repair the door.

• Oran reunited with Vi, who explained that Jinx had switched shifts with Caitlyn, and he asked Vi to accompany him to Ona’s home.
• Oran told Ona he needed help with overseas accounts, and Ona advised him to burn the records or arrange a pirate raid while also offering accounting suggestions.

• Kuzan sailed away from Piltover, and local security officers discussed the need for the country to rely on its own strength.
• Gecko Moria and the Moonlight Pirates reached Piltover’s lighthouse, and Moria ordered his crew to apply for entry rather than start a fight.

Moria and his crew arrived at Firefly Island, where Ginny monitored them and Oran chose not to intervene. Oran then read a letter from Merfolk Island, as Otohime invited Shak to a wedding and said she had written to Oran.

• Moria’s crew encountered a powerful cat and asked whether all cats on the Grand Line were that strong.

Two cats in Blitz-type mechs stopped pirates from robbing a shop on Firefly Island, while Moria watched and became more eager to grow stronger. Bear sent the captured pirates flying to Marine G6 Branch, where recruits learned that pirates sometimes fell from the sky.

• Pirates tried to loot a prosthetic body shop on Firefly Island after refusing to pay, but the owner remained confident because the island was backed by Siderial.
• Two cats from the Cat Special Agent Team used Blitz-type mechs to defeat the pirates, and Moria watched the fight with excitement and resolved to become stronger.

Oran and his companions found Brook aboard the wrecked Rumbar Pirates’ ship in the Devil Triangle Sea Area and reunited him with Laboon. Brook joined Oran’s group as they left the sea area, while the old ship sank behind them.

• Ginny sensed a current fluctuation, and Laboon followed it through the fog until the group found the Rumbar Pirates’ battered ship.
• Oran, Frankenstein, and Ginny boarded the ship, where Ginny mistook Brook for a ghost and struck him with lightning.

• Kate told Oran that his flagship was complete, and he named it the Power Gear after the Black Ship.
• Brand and the shipyard director examined the enormous steel warship and debated how other nations would react to the King’s personal vessel.
• Oran used Flying Book Message to send Brand instructions after the Den Den Mushi failed, using his Live Map to locate him at the shipyard.

Oran inspected the newly launched ironclad warship, while Brook waited in Piltover for his future role. A year after Roger’s execution, Absalom returned to Wano Country to advise the Beasts Pirates on third-generation potion trials, where Kaido’s daughter watched from nearby.

• Oran inspected the Power Gear, assigned Kate to command it, and told Brand to recruit sailors for sea trials.
• Brook asked Croccus whether Oran had plans for him, and Croccus said he should wait until the right time.

• The Five Elders rejected Hawk Eyes as a Shichibukai candidate for now and discussed Crocodile, Siderial, and the World Government’s plans for Clover and Ohara.
• The Five Elders chose Siderial as the envoy to contact Clover when they were ready to act next year.
• Oran gave Brook sheet music and assigned him to serve as a military musician for the Pirate Guerrilla Force, advising him to shape his public backstory.

• Kate jumped from the Power Gear onto the pirate ship and quickly incapacitated half its crew, finding no Ability Users aboard.
• After the Alabasta ship reached safety, Kate returned to the Power Gear and ordered its crew to engage the pirates.
• The Power Gear withstood the pirates’ return fire while its inexperienced gunners struggled to hit their target.
• The Power Gear’s main guns finally sank the pirate ship, and Kate continued the training mission without exchanging pleasantries with the Alabasta crew.
• The Alabasta captain decided to report the encounter to Cobra, Alabasta’s King.

The Power Gear’s anti-pirate patrols brought Piltover closer to Alabasta, while Merfolk Island prepared to overcome its distrust of humans. The chapter ended with Queen Titi and Queen Otohime leading delegations bound for Firefly Island.

• Burugurasu prepared to leave the G6 Branch for the New World and recommended Fire Fist Mountain as her successor, while Brook proved skilled at commanding the Power Gear.
