Oran diagnosed a merchant from Flevance with White Lead Disease and secretly cured him using an experimental separator, while deciding to wait for the disease to spread before revealing the treatment. Meanwhile, Firefly Island’s former royal family returned, hoping to reclaim the island by seeking the World Government’s support.

• Oran learned that a patient from Flevance had White Lead Disease caused by the kingdom’s white lead mining, which the World Government and royal family had knowingly concealed.
• Oran warned the doctors that white lead products were poisonous, reassured them the disease was not contagious, and took the patient to his laboratory for treatment.

Former King Bowen XVI and his brother returned to the Kingdom of Favrille to find Iron Oz and reclaim the throne, but their attempt to enter the old secret passage led them to the Zodiac Vault, where Terra confronted them. Terra knocked the royal family’s group unconscious, leaving their recovery and the fate of their plan unresolved.

• Bowen XVI and his younger brother planned to find Iron Oz, though they disagreed about whether to keep the weapon or trade it to the World Government.
• Bowen XVI led his followers to a concealed entrance and began digging through a boulder blocking the old royal tunnel.
• Terra sensed the group digging above and realized they were heading toward the Zodiac Vault.
• Terra took a red-and-white capsule, grew into its adolescent form, and dug upward through the tunnel.
• The group fell into Terra’s underground chamber, and Terra’s roar stunned them unconscious.

Terra captured Bowen XVI and the former royal family of Favrille beneath the royal city, and Oran ordered Brand to kill them after confirming the World Government would not protect them. In a dream, Oran learned about Durand’s first Galio and woke with a blueprint, wondering whether Seastone could give the stone colossus life.

Oran arranged for Absalom to travel to Wano Country and negotiate with Kaido, offering Zoan Potions in exchange for Seastone. He called Queen to gauge Kaido’s interest, leaving Queen startled by the offer.

• Oran asked Queen to find out how interested Kaido was in Zoan Potions, and Queen reacted in surprise.

Queen agreed to receive Oran’s subordinate and help arrange a deal with Kaido, while Absalom traveled to Wano Country to demonstrate Oran’s potion. Kaido was intrigued when Absalom revealed that the potion gave him a werewolf form alongside his Transparent Fruit powers.

• Queen learned that Oran had developed a potion using animal Lineage Factors and agreed to look after the junior sent to Wano Country.

• Absalom sailed to an island near Wano Country carrying Oran’s potion equipment and vials, then King flew him to Kaido.
• Kaido asked Absalom to show what he was offering, and Absalom transformed into a wolf-like form.
• Absalom used the Transparent Fruit to become invisible and explained that Oran’s invention had given him the werewolf transformation, drawing Kaido’s interest.

Absalom offered Kaido two generations of Zoan Potions in exchange for Seastone, and Kaido agreed to test them before settling the deal. Queen began testing the potions on two pirates, and the first recipient started changing after receiving the silver dose.

• Absalom showed Kaido the gold third-generation potion and silver second-generation potion, explaining their different effects, risks, and limited production.

Absalom completed a serum deal with Kaido’s crew as Roger’s pirates fought Golden Lion Shiki at Edd War, while Oran explored the Monolith’s history during a new visit to Ancient Shurima. After returning, Oran planned to use the arriving Seastone to develop a technological war machine inspired by Galio and Malphite.

• Queen tested the second-generation serum on Kaido’s pirates, creating a stable pangolin-like exoskeleton, while a third-generation modification failed and Absalom explained that serum modifications could not be repeated.

• Oran connected the Monolith’s fragments to Malphite and planned to combine its operating model with Galio’s behavioral model to create a technological war machine.

Oran explained the dangers of power to Lyliana after recalling Shurima’s war against the Void, then agreed to take her to the sky islands after she connected Noland’s Golden Land to their location. Their trip depended on Absalom returning from Wano Country, where he was enjoying himself too much to leave.

• Ginny ordered food for the group at a Buggy Town restaurant, and their conversation about Sky Island drew attention.

• Oran’s group discussed ways to reach the Sky Island and chose to seek out the Rogue Sea Current for the adventure.
• The tavern owner explained that the Rogue Sea Current might erupt soon, while Oran dismissed the cherry-heavy menu.
• Violent Bear Billson approached the group, mocked their plans, and tried to touch Ginny.
• Ginny kicked Billson away, and he revealed his Cave Bear form and attacked the group.
• Bear blocked Billson’s blow and sent him to Vice Admiral Burgess at the Marine G6 Branch.
• Oran told Bear he should have acted sooner and said he would call to collect Billson’s bounty.

Oran’s group sent pirate Violent Bear Billson to the Marine G6 Branch to collect his bounty, then used a Rogue Sea Current to ascend into the sky. They reached the White Sea and learned that their destination, the White White Sea, lay three thousand meters higher.

• Oran warned Vice Admiral Brulgrass that Billson would arrive at the Marine G6 Branch, and Bear’s Paw-Paw Fruit ability sent the pirate flying there.
• Two days later, Billson fell into the Marine plaza, where Brulgrass identified and imprisoned him before arranging to claim his bounty.
• Oran’s group caught a South-South Bird and used it to help locate the Rogue Sea Current beneath the Accumulation Clouds.
• Zack steered the ship into the Rogue Sea Current, which launched it through the clouds and carried the group to the White Sea.
• Oran explained that they were seven thousand meters above sea level and that the Log Pose pointed to their destination, the White White Sea, three thousand meters higher.

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.

• Bear and Zack recovered, and Oran explained how island clouds could be processed into building materials as the ship approached Heaven’s Gate.
• Ginny objected to the enormous entry fee, but Oran explained the Sky Island currency exchange rate, and the four paid to enter legally.

• Oran took the group toward the Shandia instead of Upper Yard and explained that the Shandia had a rightful claim to Shandora’s gold.
• Oran told Lyliana that they should seek a mutually beneficial trade with the Shandia rather than trespass or steal.

Oran told the Shandia people what happened to Noland, secured their promise of payment for weapons, and collected gold before taking his group to Birka. While Lyliana and Ginny stocked up on Sky Apples, they found the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

• Oran told the Shandia chief how Noland had returned to the Blue Sea, been branded a liar, and died insisting that the Golden Land existed.
• The Shandia chief refused Oran's offer to reclaim their land, but his people ordered weapons in exchange for gold after they regained it.
• Zack followed the Shandia people's map and returned covered in gold, carrying a sphere of it nearly three meters wide.
• 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.
• Ginny accepted the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and agreed to donate blood for Oran's research, while Kate chose to remain a non-Ability User so someone could rescue people who fell into the water.
• Two years later, Lyliana trained with Bear in Piltover, showed off a powerful wind-blade attack, and discussed her plans to visit Elbaf and her father's hometown.
• Kate reported that Piltover's few troublemakers had been sent to Stillwater Prison, then showed Oran a newspaper announcing that Gol D. Roger had found the final island.

Kate and Oran discussed the World Government hiding Roger’s D initial, and Bear shared a Buccaneer legend about Nika before confiding his concerns about Ginny. As Roger’s Pirate King news reached rivals and the Marines, Oran appeared in another world as a senior researcher for Origin Project, a corporation opposed by the Gene Dynamics Rebel Army.

• Kate questioned why Roger’s name had changed, and Oran explained that the World Government wanted to suppress the D initial and the Void Century.
• Bear told Kate and Oran that his people preserved a legend of Nika, then privately asked Oran whether he had given Ginny a certain medicine; Oran urged Bear to follow his heart.
• Sengoku scolded Garp over Roger becoming Pirate King, while Bullet, Golden Lion, and Charlotte Linlin reacted to the news in different ways.
• Roger spoke with Whitebeard Edward Newgate about his name and what he would do next, while the rulers of Mary Geoise believed the D initial remained contained.
• 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.
