• Natsuya explained that he had developed Leaping Dragon Gate by combining spatial power with insight into time, and that it could send a target toward a possible future peak at great cost.

• Big Mom ordered Pekoms and Baron Tamago to wait outside Fish-Man Island, and Katakuri said he would meet Natsuya himself if he still refused her invitation.

• Natsuya's Leaping Dragon Gate disintegrated as he entered it, and he realized that sustaining his own future state might require more power than he could provide.
• Natsuya fought Jinbe, who drove him back with his 5000-Brick Roundhouse Punch and attacked him with Water Shot and Vagabond Drill: Rain of Spears.

• A hundred-meter boulder sent by Vander Decken IX flew toward Shirahoshi, and a figure charged toward it before Neptune could act.

• Natsuya asked Shirahoshi to join his pirate crew, shocking her, Neptune, and Jinbe.

Natsuya tried to persuade Neptune to let Shirahoshi join his crew, while Nami and Gin followed his orders to make Vander Decken IX target Noah. As the ancient ship descended toward Fish-Man Island, Natsuya rose to confront it, leaving Neptune wondering whether he was the Child of Prophecy.

• Natsuya explained that he wanted Shirahoshi aboard to protect his Devil Fruit-user companions from drowning, but Neptune and the others remained reluctant to let her leave Fish-Man Island.
• Nami and Gin ordered Vander Decken IX to target Noah, and his Target-Target Fruit power set the ancient ship moving toward Fish-Man Island.

• Natsuya flew toward Noah to stop it, and Neptune wondered whether he was the Child of Prophecy.

• Natsuya transformed into a Great Ape, opened five of the Eight Inner Gates, and unleashed countless attacks through his Door-Door Fruit to slow Noah.

• Nami and Gin watched the Sea Emperor Class appear, then Gin killed Vander Decken IX before they returned to the Sea Forest.
• Nami and Gin found Natsuya unconscious, and Neptune explained that he had collapsed after stopping Noah.
• The royal physician said Natsuya needed a Type F blood transfusion, but Nami and Gin were incompatible and Fish-Man Island’s law forbade Fish-Men from donating to humans.
• Jinbe offered his Type F blood despite the law, and the transfusion restored Natsuya’s color until he regained consciousness.
• Neptune entrusted Shirahoshi to Natsuya’s care, and Natsuya looked toward Noah above Fish-Man Island.

Natsuya agreed to attend Big Mom’s Tea Party while secretly planning to use Poseidon’s power as a hidden trump card. With Fish-Man Island’s help, he transformed Noah into a golden ship powered by Nami’s Rumble-Rumble Fruit and departed with Shirahoshi.

• Natsuya returned to Pekoms and Baron Tamago and agreed to attend the Tea Party, saying he was satisfied with the prospect of marrying Smoothie.
