Chapter Summaries

Stussy joined the White Wolf Pirates as their new apprentice ship's doctor, and Magnus told her to train and learn toxicology from Kureha before the crew sailed for Fish-Man Island.

Rona met Magnus in Acropolis Port and proposed joining the White Wolf Pirates, then bargained with him using the Navy’s list of enslaved giants. After Magnus promised her Pure Gold, Rona decided to defy the Navy and invited him to take action with her.

• Rona met Magnus during the Reverie and said she would turn a blind eye to his plans as long as he did not interfere with the proceedings.

• Magnus spent the night with Rona, who gave him a list of the missing giants before leaving.
• Magnus learned that only ten of the 163 missing giants were in Acropolis Port and that many others had been enslaved by the World Government and Celestial Dragons.

• Magnus decided Lily and Stussy would stay in Acropolis Port to rescue the giants there while the rest of the crew headed toward Fish-Man Island.

• The crew spotted Fish-Man Island’s light, and Magnus prepared to enter openly under his title of White King.

King Carlo welcomed Magnus back to Fish-Man Island and discussed Magnus’s plans to help protect the island and establish a trade route. Carlo then asked Magnus to consider recruiting his son Neptune into his crew, leaving Magnus stunned.

• Twelve-year-old Neptune questioned why Fish-Man Island’s leaders had to welcome a pirate, and Carlo told him Magnus was their friend.

• Magnus arrived aboard the Millennium Falcon, and Carlo greeted him warmly after eight years apart.
• Magnus proposed a trade route connecting Fish-Man Island, Elbaf, and Sphinx, and Carlo agreed to negotiate.
• Carlo asked Magnus what he thought of Neptune as a potential crew member, leaving Magnus struggling to remember whether Neptune had any remarkable abilities.

Magnus refused Carlo’s request to take Neptune aboard, but agreed to protect Fish-Man Island from pirates abducting mermaids. Rocks confronted the traffickers and Shiki, who was being forced to serve them, as they prepared to take their captive away.

• Magnus declined to recruit twelve-year-old Neptune, then told Carlo that pirates who caused trouble on Fish-Man Island were disrespecting his protection.
• At Coral Hill, Butler’s crew abducted a young mermaid with help from a fish-man and planned to capture more to sell as slaves.
• Shiki, a rookie pirate secretly hiding his Devil Fruit power, endured serving Butler while plotting to escape and kill his captain.
• Rocks arrived to stop Butler’s crew and declared that anyone abducting mermaids on Fish-Man Island would be killed without mercy.

Rocks D. Zebek killed Butler with one slash, impressing Shiki and revealing the gap between their strength. Magnus praised Rocks and confirmed he had Conqueror's Haki, then confronted the nervous Shiki and told him to let the frightened mermaid go.

• Butler attacked Rocks with his Rock Armament, but Rocks cut through the rocks and killed him with one slash.
• Shiki watched Rocks defeat Butler and wondered how powerful Magnus was.
• Rocks noticed Shiki holding a mermaid and prepared to attack, but a nearby fish-man fainted from Magnus's Conqueror's Haki.
• Magnus praised Rocks's strength, and Rocks asked whether he had Conqueror's Haki; Magnus confirmed that he did.
• Magnus focused on the young Shiki, who was tense at meeting him, and asked him to release the frightened mermaid.

Magnus spared the young Shiki from execution for his part in the Mermaid kidnapping, sentencing him to labor and offering him a chance to join the White Wolf Pirates if he learned one of the Six Powers. After reuniting with Kokoro, whom he had saved eight years earlier, the crew resumed its voyage toward the Lanternfish that swallowed Pure Gold.

• Magnus sensed that Shiki felt satisfied rather than angry and judged that he had not masterminded the Mermaid kidnapping.
• Magnus sentenced Shiki to labor on Fish-Man Island and offered him an apprentice position if he learned one of the Six Powers.
• Rocks learned that Magnus considered Shiki talented and challenged himself to surpass Magnus.
• Kokoro thanked Magnus for saving her again and recalled that he had rescued her eight years earlier.
• Magnus invited Kokoro to help manage a planned trade route between Fish-Man Island and Sphinx, and she agreed to work hard.
• The White Wolf Pirates left Fish-Man Island and headed toward the Lanternfish that had swallowed Pure Gold.

Magnus led an underwater expedition to find the Lanternfish, hoping to capture the scientist inside it and learn how to produce Pure Gold. Near the Calm Belt, he discovered colossal Sea Kings surrounding the Lanternfish and prepared to approach with Rocks and Newgate.

• Magnus assigned Dean to lead the operation, with Rocks and Newgate supporting him, while Linlin stayed on standby; he promised her giant fish sashimi to secure her help.
• Magnus told the crew that the Lanternfish had swallowed a scientist who extracted Pure Gold and the scientist’s daughter, both of whom had survived for over 150 years because of the fish’s glowing organ.
• Two days after leaving Fish-Man Island, Newgate spotted a light near the Calm Belt, and Magnus sensed the Lanternfish among more than a dozen giant Sea Kings, with even larger ones nearby.
• Magnus realized his Voice of All Things let him hear the Sea Kings, and recalled that defeating Shiki had also increased his cell activity and strengthened his Observation Haki.
• The sea beasts pulling the Millennium Falcon refused to approach the Lanternfish, so Magnus told Dean to have them wait outside and prepared Rocks and Newgate to advance in coating bubbles.

Magnus and his crew attacked a gigantic lanternfish that had lived beneath the glow of Pure Gold, while Magnus let the others test their strength against it. When the wounded creature tried to flee, Magnus froze it with his Mythical Zoan power and claimed it as his subordinate.

• Dean struck the lanternfish with Fish-Man Karate, drawing its attention and revealing how tough its scales were.
• Rocks and Newgate attacked the lanternfish's belly while Linlin carried the shrunken Millennium Falcon closer in her bubble coating.
• Linlin landed a powerful punch that made the lanternfish recoil, while Rocks realized Magnus was using the fight to train their Haki.
• Magnus heard the lanternfish preparing to flee toward the Calm Belt and decided to end the battle himself.
• Magnus introduced himself as White Wolf Magnus, touched the lanternfish's forehead, and froze it into a giant ice sculpture.

Magnus and the White Wolf Pirates captured the Lanternfish, then surfaced near Impel Down and alarmed the Marines, who mistook their presence for an invasion. While the Marines prepared reinforcements, Magnus waited for Ripley to shrink the Lanternfish and then demanded its submission or its life.

• Magnus intimidated and froze the Lanternfish, and the White Wolf Pirates brought it toward the surface as the colossal Sea Kings watched them leave.
• The Millennium Falcon surfaced near Impel Down, caught in currents that would carry it toward Marineford, while Ripley worked to shrink the Lanternfish.

• Xiang Shan ordered Kong and Shiro to reinforce Impel Down and transferred Rona to Mary Geoise, where she planned to pursue her own aims.
• At the Gate of Justice, Magnus waited while Ripley reduced the Lanternfish to a house-sized ice sculpture, then offered it food and safety in exchange for its Pure Gold or threatened to kill it.

Magnus had Lanternfish pull the Millennium Falcon toward the Sabaody Archipelago while the Marines feared the White Wolf Pirates were targeting Marineford. Marine Headquarters prepared to counter Magnus and secretly planned a scheme involving Tsuru and Zephyr in Sphinx, while the White Wolf Pirates reached Sabaody.

• Magnus learned Lanternfish could not spit out the Pure Gold it had swallowed, so he tied it to the ship and fed it Sea King meat.
• Lanternfish discovered that it had retained its strength despite being shrunk and pulled the Millennium Falcon at tremendous speed.
• The Marines at Impel Down speculated that Magnus was using them as a decoy to attack Marine Headquarters, and Theodosius tried to calm them.
• Elephant Mountain ordered Kong and Shiro to await orders and told Portman Nissen to continue preparations for a scheme involving Tsuru and Zephyr in Sphinx.
• Magnus steered the Millennium Falcon clear of the whirlpool currents, and the White Wolf Pirates arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago the next day.

Magnus split the White Wolf Pirates into teams across the Sabaody Archipelago to gather information and find Dorry and Brogy. He took Toki with him to the largest human auction house, intending to destroy it.

• Magnus assigned Rocks and Newgate to search for giants, Ripley and Linlin to find Dorry and Brogy, and Dean to coat the ship while watching Lanternfish.
• Magnus brought Toki along, reminding her that reaching Wano Country was the end of her current journey and the beginning of a new one.
• Toki reflected that her reasons for reaching Wano Country had changed, then linked her arm through Magnus's and went with him.
• Magnus warned Lanternfish not to flee, and Lanternfish stayed behind with Dean as the crew set out.
• Magnus headed for the Sabaody Archipelago's largest human auction house to wreck it.
