• Blackbeard opened the final chest and found a writhing mass of black gas that filled him with revulsion and an urge to destroy it.

Shen Mo explained the Outer-Realm Demons and helped Blackbeard change into one, giving him a terrifying power suited to his hunger for plunder. Crocodile boarded the Destiny Ship, earned the right to choose his destiny, and selected the Element Series.

• Shen Mo granted Crocodile the right to choose a power series, and Crocodile chose the Element Series.

Crocodile spent his remaining fortune opening Level 3 Chests and gained the Earth Warrior class, powerful on land but poorly suited to the sea. He agreed to join Blackbeard’s crew as vice-captain while secretly planning to gather treasure, and Blackbeard turned his attention to recruiting Kaido and Big Mom.

• Crocodile used his savings to buy around one hundred and thirty Level 3 Chests, while Blackbeard watched and tried to learn what he obtained.
• Crocodile received the Earth Warrior class, whose earth-based powers offered immense defense and recovery but limited usefulness at sea.
• Crocodile agreed to become vice-captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, though he privately intended to stay with Blackbeard only until he gathered enough treasure.
• After opening more than a hundred chests, Crocodile gained powerful earth-based skills but no Blue Rare Grand Prize and found many abilities unusable at sea.
• One of Blackbeard’s subordinates failed to qualify for the ship, and Crocodile and Blackbeard accepted that he was no longer fit to serve as a commander.
• Blackbeard proposed rescuing Kaido and Big Mom, making them subordinates, and taking their possessions to build a powerful crew.

Blackbeard escaped Impel Down with Kaido after fighting Garp, killing Big Mom, and earning recognition as a new Pirate Emperor, while Ace set out to find the Destiny Ship and confront him. With the world’s competitive order established, Shen Mo prepared to leave, and Bismarck explained how life beside him had let her put down her burdens.

• Blackbeard infiltrated Impel Down, grew stronger by devouring prisoners, and escaped with Kaido after losing to Garp and causing Big Mom’s death.

• Shen Mo concluded that Blackbeard had made himself a public enemy and that the world’s competitive system had taken shape.
• Bismarck heard Shen Mo say his work in the world was nearly complete, and he invited her to sit beside him.
• Bismarck told Shen Mo that she had changed because she no longer needed to be an invincible leader and could set down her past burdens around him.

Shen Mo left Bismarck to welcome Hancock aboard the Destiny Ship and gave her new powers for the task. Hancock faced the ship’s trials, which exposed her deepest fear, while Bismarck watched from outside the Illusionary Realm.

• Shen Mo and Hikari turned invisible as the Kuja Pirates approached, leaving Bismarck to handle their first guest.

• Hancock resisted the first trial with her Conqueror’s Haki but entered the Illusionary Realm’s second trial.
• The Illusionary Realm revealed the mark on Hancock’s back, and her people rejected her as a former slave.
• Bismarck observed Hancock’s distress and described her as an insecure, willful girl with a girlish heart.

Bismarck received Hancock after she passed the Illusionary Realm trial and taught her that the Destiny Ship valued her determination, not her beauty. Hancock regained her confidence and asked how to obtain power while the Lord of Destiny was away.

• Bismarck realized her role was to uphold the Destiny Ship's image as Hancock struggled through the Illusionary Realm and strengthened her Conqueror's Haki.
• Hancock passed the trial, boarded the Destiny Ship, and asked Bismarck where the Lord of Destiny was.

• Hancock's confidence in her beauty was crushed, but Bismarck encouraged her by reminding her that her determination had earned her place aboard.
• Hancock recovered her resolve and asked Bismarck how she could obtain power while the Lord of Destiny was absent.

Hancock chose the Mage series and obtained the Blood of the Beauty God, gaining divine power after nearly being overcome by its influence. Shen Mo decided Bismarck could manage Hancock’s world in his absence, leaving Bismarck in charge.

• Bismarck transmitted information about Jars and their series to Hancock while Shen Mo designed Job Change Items and a Fate-type Item drawing process for her.
• Hancock chose the Mage series because she valued its elegance, then opened Level 3 Chests and obtained the Blood of the Beauty God.
• Hancock swallowed the divine blood before Bismarck finished warning her about the risks, but the images Bismarck had transmitted helped her regain control and fuse its power into her soul.
• Hancock became more captivating and understood beauty as a kind of power, then asked whether the Lord of Destiny would return.
• Bismarck told Hancock that Shen Mo might not return and that she would manage the world, while Shen Mo watched and decided he could trust her with the role.

Shen Mo left the One Piece World in Bismarck’s care after the seas’ balance of power shifted and the Five Elders began searching for the Destiny Ship. He departed for the Naruto world when Ikaros warned that a great war was imminent, leaving Bismarck to manage the world through the administrator system.

• Hancock erased the mark on her back, then set sail for Marine Headquarters to challenge the Marines’ abolition of the Shichibukai system.
• Hancock’s enhanced charm made her a new Four Emperors alongside Whitebeard, Blackbeard, and Red-Hair, while Roger, Dragon, Hawk Eyes, and Garp stood among the seas’ other prominent powers.

• After spending several more days aboard Bismarck’s ship, Shen Mo left her instructions to submit reports and use the administrator system for help.
• Shen Mo vanished with Hikari for the Naruto world after Ikaros warned him that a great war was near.
• Bismarck opened the employee group and saw Shen Mo ask whether she already missed her captain.

Bismarck discovered the administrator chat’s photo features and enjoyed sharing selfies with Shen Mo, while he monitored the escalating conflict between Konoha and Amegakure. With Mei Terumi arriving to support Konoha, Minato Namikaze explained that the battle over Kakuzu’s gold mine had reached a stalemate against the Akatsuki.

• Bismarck exchanged teasing messages with Shen Mo and Ikaros, then sent Shen Mo photos of herself in different outfits.
• Shen Mo read Bismarck’s report and noted that Konoha’s conflict with Amegakure had escalated over a gold mine discovered by Kakuzu.

• Mei Terumi questioned why Sunagakure and Iwagakure had not reacted to their missing-nin Sasori and Deidara growing stronger.

Minato Namikaze and the allied leaders prepared to launch a general offensive against the Akatsuki Organization while assigning Mei Terumi to face Sasori. When Sasuke left alone to confront Itachi Uchiha, Minato sent Naruto, Neji, and Hinata after him, and the alliance set out for battle.

• Mei Terumi offered to take responsibility for a section of the main battlefield, and Minato assigned her to confront Sasori.
• Naruto told the leaders that Sasuke had left a letter and disappeared, so Tsunade learned he had gone to find Itachi Uchiha alone.
• Minato ordered Naruto, Neji, and Hinata to catch up to Sasuke, while Jiraiya stopped Tsunade from pursuing them.
• Minato gave Mei information about Sasori's powerful mechanical puppet, and Mei objected to being assigned the mission without being consulted first.
• Shikaku Nara urged the alliance to use its surprise advantage, and Minato ordered the forces to attack the Akatsuki Organization and advance toward Konan at the Gold Mine.

Sasuke learned that Itachi Uchiha had massacred their clan to protect Konoha, and he confronted his brother in a Destiny Stage, demanding an explanation. Itachi admitted he regretted his choice, leaving Sasuke’s desired fight unresolved.

• Shen Mo watched Konoha head toward battle and considered how the conflict could strengthen the Naruto world.
• Sasuke raced through the forest, enraged after receiving a letter explaining Itachi Uchiha’s reasons for killing the Uchiha clan.

• Sasuke demanded to know why Itachi had chosen Konoha over their clan, and Itachi explained his reasoning.
• Sasuke attacked Itachi, who endured his sword strikes without retaliating and finally said that he regretted his choice.

Itachi admitted that his choice to shoulder everything alone had failed, and Sasuke demanded that he fight for his own dream instead of waiting to die. Their revenge battle began with both wielding powerful weapons, and Sasuke remained convinced he could win.

• Itachi told Sasuke that he had been wrong to act alone and that he did not expect forgiveness for killing his family and comrades.
• Sasuke asked Itachi about his Fate-type Item and insisted he fight for his own dream so Sasuke could defeat him as revenge.

• Itachi attacked with the Great Fireball Technique, and Sasuke shattered it with the Wind Roar Sword.
• Sasuke charged with a storm of sword strikes, but Itachi stopped them with his blade's Gale Barrier, leading Sasuke to acknowledge their powers were close and vow to win.

Sasuke fought Itachi Uchiha, whose blade unleashed a series of powerful skills that repeatedly countered Sasuke’s swordsmanship. After Itachi wounded him with Reverse Light: Remnant, Sasuke realized the skill was likely a reduced form of something even greater.

• Sasuke used Gale Sword Intent and Wind Lightning Sword against Itachi Uchiha, but Itachi’s Shinso extended and pierced through his clone.
• Itachi Uchiha released All Things Freeze, slowing Sasuke’s charge with a wave of ice.
• Sasuke attacked with a swordsmanship inheritance, but Itachi blocked it with Gale Barrier and prepared a counterattack.
