• Dawn reached the island’s inner ring and recognized it as the Boin Archipelago from his former life, where Usopp had once been stranded.

Dawn reflected on the coming upheaval in the world and decided that, despite its dangers, he wanted to live in it rather than return to his old life. He rejected becoming a pirate and considered joining the Marines, but first he had to survive.

• Dawn learned that Sea Year 1493 placed him on the eve of Roger's final voyage and the coming Great Pirate Era.

Abraham Dawn assessed the dangers and resources of Stomach Baron and began training while struggling to resist its addictive food. He remained in the island’s center, determined to grow strong enough to control his fate.

• Dawn checked his few supplies and considered how Stomach Baron trapped prey by luring them with food before swallowing them.
• Dawn concluded that the island’s abundant food could fuel his training, while staying in the center and tying himself to a tree could help him avoid its feeding cycle.
• Dawn ate a bite of an apple and fought the urge to keep eating, realizing that resisting the island’s food would take intense willpower.
• Dawn began basic exercises in place, pushing through exhaustion because he believed strength was necessary to survive and control his destiny.

For three months, Dawn trained and controlled his growing appetite on Stomach Baron, learning to recognize when the island was about to feed. During a feeding, he clung to a tree and saw two pirate meatballs use Devil Fruit powers as they slid toward the Abyssal Maw.

• Dawn repeated a cycle of training and eating for three months, increasing his exercise whenever he increased his food intake.
• Dawn used the island's fattened sea beasts and tremors near its center to anticipate Stomach Baron's feedings.
• When Stomach Baron began feeding, Dawn tied himself to a tree and watched the island's creatures roll into the Abyssal Maw.
• Dawn heard two men cry for help and saw the enormous, overweight pirates sliding toward the abyss.
• The two pirates shouted the names of their powers, Speed-Speed Aura and Snatch-Snatch Lock, revealing Devil Fruit abilities to Dawn.

Dawn watched two Devil Fruit users perish in Stomach Baron’s maw, then continued searching the island for supplies and a way to escape. After another three months of training, he prepared to practice Shave.

• Dawn watched two exhausted Devil Fruit users fall into the abyss with a giant, bloated Sea King.
• After Stomach Baron finished feeding and the island grew quiet, Dawn climbed down and noticed a fruit growing on a plant inside the maw.
• Dawn searched the island’s edge for useful debris or passing ships but found nothing.
• Dawn returned to the interior and began preparing to practice Shave, building on the strength and stamina he had gained over three months.
• Another three months passed as Dawn continued training.

After six months of training on Stomach Baron, Dawn discovered a strange two-colored fruit that might be a Devil Fruit and considered how it had formed. He suspected Stomach Baron had absorbed the abilities of two Devil Fruit users and began developing a theory about the living island’s relationship with Devil Fruits.

• Dawn continued his daily training for six months, strengthening his legs and learning to control his appetite.
• Stomach Baron closed its petals and swallowed the island’s plump creatures, unleashing chaos before the island settled again.
• Dawn spotted a blue, patterned fruit growing beneath Stomach Baron and wove a sturdy basket to retrieve it.
• Dawn found that the fruit was blue on top and green below, with two distinct patterns, and wondered whether it contained two Devil Fruit abilities.
• Dawn reasoned that Stomach Baron had swallowed two Devil Fruit users and that its roots connected to seawater, then speculated about how the living island might avoid the sea’s restraint if it gained a Devil Fruit ability.

Dawn reasoned that a strange two-colored fruit might contain two Devil Fruit powers after Stomach Baron digested and expelled two fruits, then chose to risk eating it. The fruit tasted delicious, but a sudden sensation struck Dawn after he finished it.

• Dawn concluded that Stomach Baron may have expelled two digested Devil Fruits into a single fruit.
• Dawn weighed the fruit's uncertain origins against its potential and decided to eat it.
• Dawn bit into the fruit and found its flesh sweet, fragrant, and unlike the foul taste he expected.
• Dawn savored the entire fruit, then froze when a strange sensation struck him.

Dawn discovered that he had gained the Aura Fruit and Snatch-Snatch Fruit abilities, and began training to develop them as he prepared to join the Marines. At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku discussed the proposed Shichibukai system and Crocodile’s candidacy before a phone call interrupted the meeting.

• Dawn tested his cyan aura and the ability to draw a marked basket into his hand, confirming he could use two Devil Fruit powers.
• Dawn named the abilities the Aura Fruit and the Snatch-Snatch Fruit, and decided to develop supportive aura buffs first.

• Dawn resolved to join the Marines, believing their resources would help him grow stronger.
• Sengoku told Marine officials that the Shichibukai plan had been approved and that Crocodile was being considered after his expected defeat by Whitebeard.
• A phone call interrupted Sengoku’s meeting about the Shichibukai plan.

Corazon warned Sengoku that Doflamingo had learned of the Shichibukai plan and intended to seize Celestial Gold to secure a position. After the Five Elders dismissed Sengoku’s protest, he arranged for Tsuru to delay Doflamingo and Aokiji to warn him if he was appointed.

• Corazon told Sengoku that Doflamingo planned to seize Celestial Gold, though the target country and year were unknown.
• Tsuru reasoned that the World Government likely knew of Doflamingo’s plans and would accept him as a Shichibukai because of his Celestial Dragon blood.
• Sengoku protested to the Five Elders, but they dismissed his concerns and settled the matter.
• Garp suggested that the Marines send someone to beat Doflamingo, prompting Sengoku and Tsuru to plan to hunt him down and delay his appointment.
• Sengoku assigned Tsuru to run Doflamingo ragged and chose Aokiji to notify him and teach him a lesson if he was appointed a Shichibukai.

Sengoku sent Aokiji and Yukimura to eliminate the Slave Catchers who had attacked Yukimura, and they planned to search the Boin Archipelago for the missing child from Yukimura’s ship. Meanwhile, Abraham Dawn developed his Power Aura and considered how he might combine the Aura Fruit with the Snatch-Snatch Fruit.

• Sengoku ordered Aokiji to accompany Yukimura in wiping out the Slave Catchers who had retaliated against the Marines.
• Aokiji agreed to help Yukimura search the Boin Archipelago for the missing child, and Sengoku also hoped the mission would strengthen Aokiji’s faction.
• Aokiji and Yukimura set out aboard a warship toward their target.
• Abraham Dawn developed Power Aura, which greatly increased his strength but consumed considerable stamina.
• Dawn considered combining the Aura Fruit and the Snatch-Snatch Fruit to reach a level where he could face two Admiral-level fighters.

Dawn tested the abilities of his fused Devil Fruit on a fierce beast, using Speed Aura to evade it and Power Snatch to drain its stamina. After weakening the beast, he stabbed it through the eye, and a serpent-shaped phantom aura spread toward it.

• Dawn used Speed Aura to dodge the beast's attacks while leading it through the forest.
• Dawn struck the beast with Power Snatch, draining its stamina and replenishing his own.
• Dawn exhausted the beast, strengthened himself with Power Aura, and drove a sword through its eye into its brain.
• A serpent-shaped phantom appeared at the edge of Dawn's aura and spread toward the struggling beast.

Dawn successfully developed Ouroboros, a fused power that let him devour the strength of defeated beasts, and named its source the Devour Fruit. He began hunting to grow stronger while hiding the ability, but discovered that Ouroboros was a picky eater.

• Dawn drained the dying sea beast with Power Snatch, and the returning Ouroboros aura transferred energy that slightly increased his strength.
• Dawn realized the Aura Fruit and Snatch-Snatch Fruit had fused into Ouroboros, which could seize attributes and let him absorb them.
• Dawn decided to keep the Devour Fruit's powers secret and hunt sea beasts while continuing to develop his aura.
• Dawn provoked savage beasts and smaller Sea Kings to grow stronger, and the chases brought him close to mastering Shave.
• Dawn found that Ouroboros automatically handled the seizing but behaved differently than he had expected and was a picky eater.

Dawn refined his Ouroboros ability while hunting sea beasts on Stomach Baron, learning that it gained useful attribute points only from capable prey. As he searched the island’s shore for a way to escape, he spotted a Marine ship approaching and felt relieved that it was not a pirate vessel.

• Dawn discovered that Ouroboros absorbed energy from helpless, fat Sea Kings but gained useful attribute points from stronger, mobile prey.

• Yukimura apologized for leaving Dawn behind, and Dawn reassured him that the ordeal had made him stronger.
• Dawn told Yukimura and Aokiji that he had eaten a Devil Fruit.

Dawn revealed that he had eaten the Aura Fruit, which could boost his own and other people’s attributes, and demonstrated its strength-enhancing effect for Aokiji and Yukimura. Aokiji recognized Dawn’s potential but reminded himself that the boy still had to grow into it.

• Dawn told Yukimura and Aokiji that he had accidentally eaten a Devil Fruit and called its ability the Aura Fruit.
• Dawn used Speed Aura on Yukimura and Aokiji, who felt only a slight increase because of their exceptional physiques.
• Dawn used the Red Ring on a soldier, whose enhanced slash cut farther into an ice pillar than his unenhanced strike.
• Aokiji considered how Dawn’s ability could strengthen Marine forces, then restrained his excitement and noted that potential alone did not guarantee future strength.

Dawn wondered why he felt no weakness in water after eating the strange fruit, and reasoned that Stomach Baron had transferred and altered Devil Fruit powers into an independent plant and its fruit. He kept the secret to himself, then emerged onto the Marine warship as it sailed toward Marine Headquarters and his new beginning.

• Dawn felt no weakness while bathing and considered how Stomach Baron might have altered the Devil Fruit powers it consumed.
• Dawn recalled that the plant bearing the fruit had been covered in chaotic Devil Fruit patterns and theorized that Stomach Baron had severed it into an independent life-form.
• Dawn guessed that the plant had condensed two Devil Fruit abilities into a delicious fruit, but remained unsure why eating it had not killed him.
• Dawn suspected that his merged soul might explain his unusual mental strength, then decided to guard the fruit's secrets.
• Dawn dressed in clothes prepared by the soldiers and stepped onto the warship as it sailed toward Marine Headquarters.

After spending half a month training aboard the warship under Aokiji’s guidance, Dawn arrived at Marine Headquarters, eager to grow stronger there. Yukimura led him into the fortress to show him where he would stay.

• Dawn trained at sea under Aokiji, who taught him to control his strength and improve through close-combat sparring.
• Dawn made rapid progress in physical combat and Devil Fruit development, while Aokiji learned he had already practiced Six Powers basics on the Boin Archipelago.
• The warship reached Marine Headquarters, and Dawn was stunned by the massive fortress and its fleet.
• Yukimura laughed at Dawn’s reaction and led him into the fortress to find his accommodation.

Aokiji reported that Dawn had survived on the Boin Archipelago, learned the foundation of Shave, and eaten a Devil Fruit, then brought him to Marine headquarters. Dawn began training alongside Hina and decided to make allies among the future Marine elites while pursuing strength without betraying his conscience.

• Aokiji told Sengoku that he had found Dawn, who had trained on the Boin Archipelago and completed the preliminary foundation for Shave.
• Aokiji reported that Dawn had accidentally eaten a Devil Fruit, surprising Sengoku.

• Dawn decided he could become a Marine but would refuse to act against his conscience or submit to the World Government and Celestial Dragons.
• Dawn resolved to befriend the promising trainees and grow strong enough to control his own fate.

Dawn befriended Hina at the Marine training camp and gradually became part of his class, earning a reputation as a mature, powerful pretty boy. His training improved until he could use Shave, while he continued working toward mastering the other Six Powers.

• Dawn found most dormitory rooms empty, and Hina explained that trainees were regularly eliminated and replaced.
• Dawn told Hina about being stranded on Boin Archipelago and rescued from Stomach Baron, and the two became friends.
• Hina helped Dawn fit into the class, where his maturity and strength earned him admirers and the nickname “pretty boy.”
• Dawn learned to use Shave and made progress in the foundations of Paper Art and Tekkai, while Hina envied his advancement and personal guidance from Admiral Zephyr.
• Dawn noticed that his identification tag suggested he might be a year younger than Hina, then continued training to grow stronger.

Dawn continued his Marine training and tried to convince Hina to take Navigation seriously by explaining the importance of navigators on pirate ships. He began telling her about his own experience after she doubted his example.

• Dawn shared his class notes with the sleepy Hina and reminded himself that he needed to grow stronger as the coming era would make the seas dangerous.
• After class, Dawn scolded Hina for falling asleep during Navigation and explained why the skill mattered in a world of islands and oceans.
• Dawn asked Hina who held the most authority on a pirate ship after the captain, then insisted that the answer was the navigator rather than the Vice Captain.
• Hina suspected Dawn was making up his example to trick her into studying, so Dawn began, "When I was captured..."

Dawn told Hina how pirates had captured him before Yukimura rescued him, then discussed why skilled navigators were valuable. At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku and Garp asked Aokiji about Dawn, and Dawn was summoned from Navigation class for a training test.

• Dawn explained to Hina that pirates had captured him to sell as a slave, and Yukimura's rescue had led to him becoming stranded on a Desolate Island.

Dawn became the top trainee at the Marine Training Camp, where his ability to enhance others drew recruits into his circle. After impressing Zephyr with his combat skill and talent for Paper Art, Dawn was told he could begin training Observation Haki, and he endured increasingly grueling private lessons.

• Sengoku and the other Navy leaders recognized Dawn's enhancement ability as a strategic asset that could strengthen Marines across the force.
• Dawn built a circle of trainees, including Shuen, Berigood, Shalinkul, and Sola, while choosing not to pursue Drake closely.

• Zephyr praised Dawn's diligence and discovered that he had talent for Paper Art and Observation Haki.
• Dawn began Observation Haki training and endured Zephyr's brutal private lessons, which the other trainees could not keep up with.

Dawn’s perseverance earned him formal instruction in Haki from Zephyr, who explained the three types, their uses, and their limitations. Dawn began training Observation Haki, and Zephyr’s next lesson was to put him through a beating.

• Dawn’s endurance through the harsh training helped his Observation Haki begin to take shape, earning him permission to study Haki formally.
• Zephyr explained that Conqueror’s Haki was rare and innate, and that its users needed to learn control rather than train it directly.
• Zephyr described how Armament Haki strengthened defense and attacks, while noting that it could not counter every ability.

• Zephyr explained that using any Haki consumed energy and that Dawn would need to manage its intensity and coverage.
• After explaining Haki, Zephyr began Dawn’s practical training by beating him up.
