• Hina lamented that she still lacked offensive techniques, and Dawn asked if she had heard of the Pole Insertion Technique.

Dawn explained the Pole Insertion Technique to Hina and reflected on how the battle had improved his constitution and endurance. A week later, the training camp’s food ran short after the recruits’ intense training and a month of practice, and the group set out by warship to visit other islands.

• Dawn described how Hina could develop her fences into hard rods and use them to pierce and branch through an enemy’s body.

• Dawn and the others spotted an island and approached its forested shore, eager to find food.
• Rear Admiral Yak sent Dawn, Sola, and the others to investigate the abandoned area on the barren half of the island.

• Sola sensed that the barren half felt unnatural, and Dawn suggested its former owner might have conducted strange research there.
• An attacker struck from behind, but Sola hit the figure with a beast-clawed fist, leaving Dawn shocked when he saw who it was.

Dawn and his companions encountered a pool of red liquid and fought the Red Compsognathus gathered around it. They defeated the attackers and continued toward the castle, while Dawn reflected on how much his companions’ skills had improved.

Dawn and the others arrived in Anluya, a bustling desert city on an island once conquered by the Vinsmoke Family and now divided among competing factions. As Dawn explored the city with Rear Admiral Yak, he reflected on the Vinsmoke Family’s role in the North Sea and looked forward to seeing the wonders of the world.

• Dawn and the others sailed to an island where they learned the Vinsmoke Family had conquered the former country and its king had been beheaded.
• Dawn reflected on how wars between nations had shaped Marine recruitment in the North Sea and speculated that the Vinsmoke Family had profited by stirring up conflicts.

• Yak explained that Anluya’s busy market thrived on passing ships replenishing supplies and merchants selling local goods abroad.
• Dawn became eager to explore Anluya and see the unusual sights of the world.

• Dawn and the others visited a Honey Pot Ant shop, where the owner explained how the ants stored nectar to help their colonies survive shortages.
• Hina tried a mint-fed Honey Pot Ant and enjoyed its cool watermelon flavor, so Dawn bought assorted ants, drinks, and wines for the group.
• Dawn and the others continued exploring Anluya’s food stalls, sampling dishes such as crocodile eggs, sea turtle eggs, and grilled crocodile meat.

Sola then called him over after finding a person imprisoned in a barrel on a camel, apparently captured by Sand Bandits for being a Devil Fruit user.

• Dawn decided to focus on developing enhancement abilities and aimed to combine Power Snatch into a group-targeted Weakness Aura.
• Dawn's experiments revealed that Power Snatch reduced the stamina cost of his Devil Fruit abilities rather than directly restoring stamina, and that bodily stamina recovery had a limit.
• Dawn considered the Snatch-Snatch Fruit's potential, including the Ouroboros ability, but found no promising new developments.
• Sola called Dawn over after discovering a person inside a barrel tied to a camel.
• Dawn went to inspect the captive, suspecting the Sand Bandits had seized them because they were a Devil Fruit user.

Dawn and his companions discovered that the Sand Bandits had trapped Basil Hawkins, a young Devil Fruit user, in a barrel of seawater. After hearing Hawkins’s strange divination and learning his predictions had gone foggy, Dawn released him and considered recruiting him.

• Dawn watched Sola and the others open the barrel and found Basil Hawkins trapped in seawater.
• Dawn questioned Hawkins, who introduced himself as a Curse Fruit user.

• Hawkins offered to divine the group’s fortunes as thanks, and Sola eagerly agreed to try it.
• The group left the decision to Dawn, who chose to release Hawkins.

• Dawn agreed to free Basil Hawkins, and the others drained the barrel before pulling him out.
• Sola agreed to have Hawkins read her past, present, and future, and he laid out three cards.

• Hawkins revealed upright Judgment for Sola’s present, which represented resurrection and reminded the group of Golden Lion’s attack.
• Hawkins turned over Sola’s future card and found it completely blank.

Dawn’s fate remained hidden from Basil Hawkins’s divination, while the cards revealed Dawn’s past as a new beginning and his present as a ruler.

• Dawn and his companions visited a restaurant and received an enormous platter of food.

As they headed toward a dojo, Dawn asked Hawkins whether he had decided to join the Marines, and Hawkins revealed he had already divined his future after making that choice.

• Dawn and his companions ordered Karate Island's enormous meals, and Basil Hawkins was stunned by the portion sizes.
• Dawn and the others divided food onto Hawkins's plate, then ate through multiple oversized servings while Hawkins received only small portions.

• Sola set off for the Yoga Style Karate dojo, while Dawn asked Basil Hawkins if he wanted to join the Marines.
• Basil Hawkins said he had divined his future after making his own choice, though anything involving Dawn blocked his readings.
• Dawn asked Basil Hawkins what the divination had revealed.

Dawn asked Basil Hawkins to divine the futures that awaited him if he joined the Navy with Dawn or joined on his own. Hawkins chose to follow Dawn as Captain, leaving Dawn with a loyal new recruit whose future differed from the Navy's ordinary path.

• Basil Hawkins told Dawn that his first reading showed [The Fool] in the present and [The Magician] in the future if he joined the Navy with Dawn.
• Hawkins said a second reading showed [The Fool] in the present and [Justice] in the future if he joined the Navy alone.

• Dawn welcomed Hawkins to the Navy and his group, and Hawkins addressed him as Captain to declare his loyalty to Dawn.
• Hawkins said he preferred the creative path represented by [The Magician] over the balanced path represented by [Justice].

Dawn gained Basil Hawkins’s personal loyalty and welcomed him into his close-knit group as a future Marine. After Rear Admiral Yak approved Hawkins’s enlistment at the island branch, he shared news from his old friend Cher that caught the group’s interest.

• Dawn reflected that Basil Hawkins had chosen to follow him personally, and valued the loyalty as a foundation for his influence.
• Dawn told the group that Hawkins was joining the Marines, and they welcomed him as a companion.

• After Sola returned from the dojo, Dawn took Hawkins to report to Rear Admiral Yak, who approved his enlistment.
• Rear Admiral Yak explained that Hawkins would enter training camp after they returned to Marine Headquarters, and said Cher had sent news that interested the group.

Rear Admiral Yak sent Dawn’s group to deal with the Killer Crab, a giant sea beast terrorizing Karate Island’s coast. The group found it disguised among the rocks and began fighting, but its powerful limbs and armor proved difficult to damage.

• Rear Admiral Yak told Dawn and his companions about the Killer Crab and asked them to investigate with Commodore Cher watching over them.
• Sola eagerly asked whether the giant crab would make good food as the group traveled to the coast.

• Sola, Berigood, and Shalinkul struck the crab, but their attacks only cracked the keratin covering its shell.
• The Killer Crab counterattacked with a rapid barrage from its six hard limbs.

Dawn used the Killer Crab to show Hina, Sola, and the others the limits of their strength, then defeated it with one devastating punch. Commodore Cher watched Dawn’s display and realized another monster was emerging.

• Dawn closed in and smashed the Killer Crab’s head with one enormous punch, killing it instantly.
• Cher watched Dawn’s victory and concluded that another monster was about to appear in the world.

After Dawn defeated the Killer Crab and shared its prized claws with the Marines, Yak learned that Dawn had awakened Observation Haki and rushed to report it to Marine Headquarters. Dawn then considered recruiting powerful allies and pursuing his own vision of justice, though his plans had yet to begin.

• Dawn killed the Killer Crab with one punch, and Commodore Cher identified it as an edible Rock Crab whose claws were a delicacy.
• Dawn and the others feasted on the steamed crab claws, while Dawn saved one claw to take home and the rest were shared with the Marine Branch soldiers.
• Cher confronted Yak for failing to tell him that Dawn knew Observation Haki, but Yak revealed that he had not known and hurried to contact Marine Headquarters.
• Dawn thought about recruiting Enel and Gild Tesoro, building a faction within the Marines, and relying on allies if his reforms failed.
• Dawn resolved to pursue his chosen path of justice and bring his will into the world despite the obstacles ahead.
