Chapter Summaries

Enel prepared to leave Troya Kingdom after taking its royal treasures, while organizing recruitment for the Thunder God Pirates. In Flevance, the people suffered under the Amber Lead Disease and began to recognize that the World Government was protecting the mines and suppressing the truth, until a mysterious variable appeared three months earlier.

• Enel told Troya Kingdom's new administrators that his pirates would leave that afternoon with the palace treasures, and gave them a Transponder Shell to call for help.

• In Flevance, amber lead mining continued despite the disease and the threat of war, while the World Government's ships protected ore shipments and secret agents concealed the truth.
• The people of Flevance realized that the World Government was not protecting them, and resistance led to people disappearing until a variable appeared three months earlier.

As the Navy leaders headed to the Reverie banquet, a prolonged eclipse darkened much of the world and a pillar of fire connected Mary Geoise to a crimson celestial body.

• A Five Elder angrily demanded explanations from Sengoku, CP0’s commander, and Spandine over Ye Mu’s invasion and the missing Dyna Stones.
• Spandine admitted that CP9 had concealed the loss of the Dyna Stones and explained that Ye Mu had entered Mary Geoise disguised as one of Philock VII’s guards.

Sengoku then accepted Ye Mu’s demand for the Celestial Dragons to release their slaves, on the condition that they meet with him.

• Kin'emon and the Nine Red Scabbards asked Kozuki Toki to lead them, and she agreed to write letters to Wano Country’s four daimyo.
