Chapter Summaries

Enel left the Ishtar Kingdom and traveled through Alabasta to Jaya Island, using his lightning powers and newly developed Iron Sand to reach Sky Island. He returned to the White White Sea stronger and more capable than before.

• Enel told Gaius that Dawn had said it was time for him to leave, and Gaius arranged for him to travel aboard a merchant ship bound for Alabasta.
• Enel traveled from Alabasta to Jaya Island, where he used Observation Haki and martial arts to defeat pirates before continuing alone.
• Enel used specially made Iron Sand to form a platform, testing its uses for combat, defense, and flight.
• Enel rode the Iron Sand platform up to Sky Island and gazed across the White White Sea, reflecting on how much he had changed since leaving Birka.

• Enel incapacitated Birka's guards and soldiers with Paralyzing Thunderbirds, sparing them so they could help build the Logos.
• Enel subjected Birka's former god to the Cloud Floating Stream Punishment and conquered the island.

Enel took control of Birka, found the blueprints for the Ark, Logos, and forced the Skypieans and Angel Island to submit. He left Vulcan in charge of the Sky Islands while declaring his ambition to spread the name Thor across the world.

• Enel told Vulcan to manage both Sky Islands and said he wanted to make the whole world hear the name Thor.

After Enel secured control of Sky Island and began preparing it as a base, Dawn and the others were blown off course by a storm and landed on Hunter Island. They learned that the island’s carnivorous beasts were behaving unusually and hunting villagers more often, while its king maintained a private hunting ground.

• Enel assigned the Skypieans and Vulcan to share Upper Yard, gave the Golden Bell to the Skypieans, and put Vulcan in charge of the Ark and Dial resources.
• Enel selected promising soldiers as Priests, taught them Observation Haki training, and stayed on Sky Island to stabilize and develop it.
• A month later, Dawn and the others were forced off their planned route by a storm and spotted an inhabited island where they could rest and resupply.
• Dawn’s group docked at Hunter Island and met Tucker, who explained its farming, hunting traditions, and measures to preserve the forest’s balance.
• Tucker warned that carnivorous animals had been overpopulating and attacking villagers, and pointed out the king’s restricted private hunting ground.
• Sola eagerly asked about the island’s game and local food, and Dawn suggested they try the local cuisine.

Dawn and the others enjoyed a meal in town, where Tucker told them suspicious stories about the King's Hunting Ground. Suspecting the sealed animal crates might conceal something worse, Dawn led the group into the forest and over the wall after dark.

• Dawn and the others explored town, watched hunters return with a boar, and ate rabbit and venison at Tucker's tavern.
• Sola asked Tucker about the King's Hunting Ground, and he described sealed crates that sounded as if something inside was striking them and a servant who had died beyond the wall.

• Dawn told the others to change out of their Marine uniforms, and the group entered the forest after dark.
• Dawn created a Sky Ladder, and the group climbed over the wall into the King's Hunting Ground.

Dawn and his group secretly explored the king’s Hunting Ground, finding a corpse, a blood-soaked iron enclosure, and a grim hut. After a scream sounded nearby, they were left facing whatever was happening deeper in the grounds.

• Sola spotted a corpse by the Protective Wall with an arrow in its neck, and Hawkins divined that the group had a ninety percent chance of surviving the mission.
• Dawn led everyone toward the Hunting Ground’s center, where they found a towering iron enclosure covered in dried blood.
• Sola led the group past wolves to a ramshackle hut, where they saw dried blood and scattered black objects but found no one inside.
• A scream suddenly rang out in the quiet night.

Dawn and his companions witnessed the king and his soldiers hunting helpless people in the forest, then escaped without alerting them. Dawn led the group to piece together how the island’s barriers and predators were used to trap the king’s human prey.

• Dawn hid his group in the trees as the king and his soldiers hunted and killed people in the forest.
• The king revealed that he had learned the hunting game from the Celestial Dragons and planned to host them on the island.
• Sola, Berigood, Shalinkul, and Shuen moved to intervene, but Dawn restrained them and silently led everyone away.
• After reaching the forest’s center, Dawn released the group and warned them to control their anger and assess what they knew.
• Dawn and the others concluded that the fences, cleared trees, house, and predators were all arranged to prevent the king’s human prey from escaping.

After discovering that Hunter Island’s king had built a hunting ground for the Celestial Dragons, Dawn’s group struggled with how the Marines could respond when the World Government might protect the king. Dawn steadied his companions by asking about their dreams, then declared his goal of leading the Marines toward “Black-and-White Justice” before an unseen voice offered to handle their immediate problem.

• Shalinkul and Berigood wanted to report the king’s hunting ground to their Marine superiors, but Sola and Hina warned that the Celestial Dragons’ influence could make reporting useless.
• Dawn explained that the World Government might protect the king and silence them, leaving Shalinkul and the others angry and helpless.
• Dawn asked his companions to share their dreams, and Hawkins, Hina, and Sola each spoke about what they wanted.
• Dawn declared that he would pursue “Black-and-White Justice” and lead the Marines toward true justice.
• An unknown speaker appeared in the darkness and told Dawn to leave the matter troubling them to him.

Dragon appeared in the forest and tested Dawn and his companions with Conqueror’s Haki. After Dawn resisted and revealed his own Conqueror’s Haki, Dragon recognized his convictions and sat down with him to talk, leaving Hina and the others unconscious nearby.

• Dragon’s Conqueror’s Haki overwhelmed Hina and the others, but Dawn remained standing and clashed with him using his own Haki.
• Dawn recognized the hooded man as Monkey D. Dragon after the clash forced his hood back.

• Dawn moved Hina and the others onto a tree trunk, then sat with Dragon at a distance where they could not hear.
• Dragon explained that he had overheard Dawn discussing true justice for the Marines and wanted to learn more about his convictions.

Dawn and Dragon spoke through the night, exchanging revolutionary ideas and strategies that deepened their mutual respect. Dawn declined Dragon’s invitation to join the Revolutionary Army but asked him to teach him Conqueror’s Haki, and Dragon promised to handle Hunter Island’s hunting grounds.

• Dawn and Dragon exchanged ideas, with Dawn offering strategies about preserving the people, inspiring the masses, and using collective strength.
• Dragon invited Dawn to join the Revolutionary Army, but Dawn declined because he had matters to attend to on the island.
• Dawn asked Dragon to guide him in Conqueror’s Haki, and Dragon taught him before Dawn asked further questions about the other forms of Haki.
• Dragon promised to handle the hunting grounds established by Hunter Island’s king, and Dawn asked how he planned to resolve the matter.

Dawn and Dragon agreed that exposing the king’s crimes through the rescued slaves would build resistance more effectively than killing the king outright. After secretly exchanging contact information with Dragon, Dawn considered his allies and hidden bases before Hina and the others woke up, and he concealed what had happened.

• Dragon explained that he had changed his plan from killing the king to rescuing the slaves and having them reveal the king’s crimes, and Dawn endorsed the strategy.
• Dragon thanked Dawn for helping him reconsider his approach, and they exchanged Den Den Mushi numbers before Dawn returned to the others.
• Dawn reflected on his trump cards and fallback bases, including the Revolutionary Army, Sky Island, and a future base on the moon.
• Hina, Sola, and the others woke in a tree and wondered why they had passed out; Sola fell, and Dawn caught her.
• Dawn concealed his meeting with Dragon, then told the others to assess the situation.

Dawn persuaded his companions to keep the king’s Hunting Ground secret and join him in pursuing a truer form of justice within the Marines. After Dawn and the others sailed away, Dragon freed the king’s prisoners and urged them to expose his crimes across the island.

• Dawn and his companions agreed to conceal what they knew about the Hunting Ground because they lacked the strength to change things safely.
• Dawn explained how the World Government’s obedience to the Celestial Dragons could force Marines to become accomplices, and Sola, Hina, Shuen, Berigood, and the others pledged to support his ideal of justice.
• Dawn told the group to keep the secret, build their strength, and expand their influence among young Marines.
• After Dawn and the others sailed away, Dragon returned to the warehouse and freed the people imprisoned there.
• Dragon told the freed prisoners to spread the truth about the king, then protected them as they fled through the forest toward the town.

After returning from Hunter Island, Dawn trained to master Armament Haki while preparing for the coming Mary Geoise attack. Aokiji took him on a mission to warn Doflamingo away from the Ishtar Kingdom, and Garp joined their ship for a ride toward the East Blue.

• Garp boarded Aokiji’s ship, asked for a ride toward the East Blue, and agreed to accompany Dawn and Aokiji to confront Doflamingo.

Dawn, accompanied by Aokiji and Garp, reached a lawless island to test his strength against Doflamingo’s officers. He fought Gladius and was still defending against the officer’s explosive helmet fragments when the chapter ended.

• Aokiji, Garp, and Dawn landed on the island where Doflamingo was hiding, with Dawn assigned to test his strength against an officer.

• Dawn opened the fight with translucent bullets, and Gladius countered with exploding stone spheres before Dawn attacked at close range.
• Gladius detonated his expanding arms and helmet, forcing Dawn to block a storm of fragments with repeated Air Shields.

• Garp and Aokiji stared in surprise when Baby 5’s mood changed so suddenly.

Dawn took Baby-5 into his care, promising to train her and give her a place among his companions. With Aokiji leaving and Garp agreeing to guide Dawn's Armament Haki, the group sailed toward Windmill Village in the East Blue.

• Dawn explained that Baby-5 could not refuse requests and decided to make her his cook and personal maid rather than send her to the Marines or Impel Down.
