After Eclipse defeated the Big Mom Pirates and seized Totto Land and its Road Poneglyph, the Five Elders and Navy recognized Portgas D. Ace as a threat to the world order. They issued him a new title and a 5.05-billion-Beli bounty, while the Navy prepared to monitor Eclipse and target its underground supply networks.
