• Garp spotted Kuzan at a dock where a merchant tried to bribe the guards, and a police cat let out a piercing cry near the cargo.

Feld and Giberson recognized that Oran had become too influential to challenge, while Oran completed his biological-metal monster on Firefly Island. In another world, Oran returned to the Overlord research base as Zero threatened to invade inland, and Heimerdinger and Jigges asked him to bring Unit 10 into the fight.

• Oran told Feld that he would not forgive anyone who owed him money, and Feld realized he had little leverage over Oran.
• Feld received Giberson’s ashes and discussed Oran’s bottom line and growing influence with Giberson, who urged him to prepare for possible conflict.

Heimerdinger and Jigges led a team of Overlord mechs in a costly battle that destroyed berserk Overlord Zero, while Oran later worked to make Oz’s enhanced state controllable. The chapter ended with Sanjuan Wolf approaching District Four’s coast as Oran received an emergency alert.

• Heimerdinger explained that Zero’s self-awareness and connection to monsters had made it dangerously powerful, and Jigges reviewed records on the biological mechs Overlord Alien and Overlord Warrior.

Oran piloted the giant mecha Iron Oz into battle against Sanjuan Wolf while Lyliana watched from the cockpit. After Oz and Lyliana struck Wolf down, he was left unconscious and wondering why the pilot had joined the fight outside the cockpit.

• Lyliana left the cockpit and used Elbaf Spear: Might of the Nation to strike Wolf's head.
• Oran followed with Iron Oz's punch, knocking Sanjuan Wolf unconscious.

Oran defeated and captured Sanjuan Wolf, then used the battle and its publicity to present Oz as a deterrent and bait for the World Government. The chapter left Saturn alarmed by Oz’s resemblance to the steel giant that once attacked Mary Geoise.

• Lyliana tested the mech in battle, and Oran buried the unconscious Wolf in the sea before extracting and preserving his blood.

• Stussy told Oran that the Five Elders had sent investigators to learn about his robot and asked whether he wanted her to cover for him.

Oran told Stussy to report the giant robot truthfully while helping her exploit the World Government’s poorly trained agents and feed them limited intelligence. As news of the robot spread, Vegapunk questioned Oran’s decision to reveal it, while Kaido demanded that Queen make him an identical weapon.

• Oran explained that the robot had been made from Country Carrier Oz’s corpse and told Stussy she could report its origins to the Five Elders.
• Oran showed Stussy the CP agents who had drawn attention by registering at his hospital repeatedly and occupying a cat café, and Kate explained that one had been detained after a fight.
• Brand reported that a woman had approached him at a tavern, and Stussy identified her as Alifa, another CP agent; Oran told Kate and Brand to leak limited intelligence to keep the agents on the island.
• Morgans’s newspapers spread news of the giant robot, prompting Vegapunk to wonder why Oran had revealed it and Caesar to worry about losing funding.
• Kaido confronted Queen after he had bragged about working with Oran at MADS and demanded that Queen build him the same kind of weapon.

Stussy delivered a deceptive report about Iron Oz to the Five Elders, who concluded that its creation depended on Ancient Giant remains and discussed the World Government’s stalled gigantification research. After Stussy’s team was reassigned, Saturn contacted Oran, who agreed to let the Government call on Iron Oz in battle; Saturn then invited him to visit Punk Hazard and consider a partnership.

• Saturn and Pit discussed Stussy’s report, concluding that Iron Oz could not be mass-produced without more Ancient Giant remains and that Punk Hazard’s gigantification project had made little progress.
• Stussy’s teammates credited her for their shared success, but the two agents who had failed were sent back while Alifa received an intelligence-gathering assignment and Stussy became a CP9 reserve member.
• World Government agents delivered a Den Den Mushi to Oran, and Saturn questioned him about Iron Oz and its limitations.

The recruits completed the mountain, balloon, and mecha trials, selecting the first exoskeleton pilots for Firefly Island. Oran then went to Punk Hazard, where he confronted Caesar about the accounts and left him sweating.

• The recruits climbed the mountain under Terra’s doubled gravity and completed the Earth Trial.

• Caesar welcomed Oran smugly and claimed he could only be third-in-command, but Oran asked whether Caesar wanted help settling the recent accounts.

Oran helped Caesar reassure the World Government that the Ancient Giant experiments could succeed, while privately positioning Caesar as a failed comparison for his own future research. He collected Vegapunk’s supposedly failed pink dragon fruit and presented it to Laili as a gift.

• A CP0 agent took Oran and Caesar to a secret experimental zone, where Caesar explained the World Government’s effort to revive the Ancient Giant race.
• Oran supported Caesar’s account of the project’s difficulties, and Caesar became convinced that Oran had been fooled by his claims.
• After CP0 left, Oran visited Vegapunk and persuaded him to destroy a failed Mythical Zoan fruit instead of continuing to study it.
• Oran took the pink dragon fruit to the Sabaody Archipelago and told Laili that he had prepared it especially for her.

Oran took Lyliana from Bubble Park into Sabaody’s lawless district to show her the human auction and the injustice hidden beneath the World Government’s rule. As Lyliana resolved to destroy the traffickers, Gol D. Roger arrived, and Oran asked him to take the blame for the coming commotion.

• Oran and Lyliana left Bubble Park and entered Sabaody’s lawless district, where Lyliana stopped several street fights.
