• Imu surveyed the ruined battlefield before fixing his gaze on Madara Uchiha and addressing him by name.
• Madara asked whether this was Imu’s real body, and Imu replied that he had waited a long time for him.
• Imu sent the Heaven's Punishment Sword at Madara, whose Susanoo blocked it but suffered a fine crack in its Tachi.
• Imu followed with three weapons, and Madara saw them crack Susanoo’s chakra structure; Imu’s Void Sword then made a large section of Susanoo vanish.

Madara and Imu fought to a standstill after Madara realized Imu's power came from the rules of the seas themselves. Imu then hinted at another trump card beneath Mary Geoise and began gathering his demonic energy.

• Madara found that Imu's weapons had made a hole in Susanoo that would not heal, and used Kotoamatsukami to weaken Imu without forcing him down to Super-Kage Level.
• Imu explained that the seas' rules were part of him, and Madara abandoned rule suppression in favor of fighting with Susanoo's strength.
• Madara and Imu exchanged dozens of blows as their powers reached a stalemate, while Killing Hall, Taki, Yan, Shanks, and Shamrock watched from below.
• Imu stopped attacking and looked toward a hidden place beneath the ruins of Mary Geoise, then asked Madara whether he thought Imu had only one trump card.
• Imu's demonic energy and eleven weapons went still before the energy began slowly weaving together again.

Imu’s Demonic Energy surged after two of his chains broke, triggering a force that violently attacked Devil Fruit Users across the seas. Whitebeard’s Conqueror’s Haki destroyed the dark red fragments being torn from them, but the source and purpose of the attack remained unknown.

• Imu’s Demonic Energy erupted, breaking two chains that sealed the Origin power he had taken from the Twenty Kings.

• Ace’s flames stabilized as Marco watched Whitebeard and Ace with concern.

Madara Uchiha realized Imu was absorbing the power of Devil Fruit users to break his chains and strengthen himself. Madara entered Six Paths Sage Mode, but its unstable power had a limited duration, leaving him to face Imu before his strength ran out.

• Whitebeard sensed that something had happened near Sabaody as Devil Fruit users across the seas began dying and turning into black-red mist.
• The mist converged on Mary Geoise and flowed through Imu's chains, supplying him with power as his third chain began to crack.
• Madara Uchiha recognized that Imu was devouring Devil Fruit users to gain strength and break more of his chains.
• Madara activated Six Paths Sage Mode, surrounding himself with ten Truth-Seeking Orbs and transforming his hair and robe.
• Madara realized that his mode would drain his chakra quickly in a prolonged fight and raised his hand to form Susanoo's tachi anew.

Madara used Six Paths Sage Mode to strike Imu, who broke his third chain and formed the Void-Chaos Shield by merging the Chaos Sword and Void Sword. Madara’s Tachi split the shield, but its strange recoil struck Susanoo’s arm, which began to crack.

Madara abandoned Susanoo and used the Six Paths Staff to overwhelm Imu’s weapons and force him backward, slowing Imu’s progress in breaking the fourth chain. Below, Fugaku ordered the Night Owl Guard elites to retreat, while Akainu remained severely wounded and unable to stand.

• Madara shaped a Truth-Seeking Orb into the Six Paths Staff and attacked Imu with concentrated Six Paths Chakra and Yin-Yang Release power.
• Madara knocked aside Imu’s Heaven’s Punishment Sword, Xingtian Axe, and Sea God Sword, then shattered the Demonic Energy shield Imu raised to defend himself.
• Madara repelled more of Imu’s weapons and pressed him backward, forcing Imu to spend his power defending instead of breaking the fourth chain.
• Fugaku ordered the thirteen Night Owl Guard elites to withdraw, and they retreated to a safe area several thousand meters from the battlefield.
• Akainu knelt wounded on the scorched ground and could not stand.

As Imu’s power drained Devil Fruit Users across the sea, Whitebeard and the battered Marines struggled to resist its pull. The chapter left the Marines facing the dark red energy surging toward Mary Geoise as Imu’s presence grew and the fourth chain began to crack.

• Kizaru helped the wounded Akainu retreat from the devastated battlefield as another chain shattered.
• Whitebeard used his Conqueror’s Haki to protect his crew from the force killing Devil Fruit Users, while Ace and Marco watched Sabaody with concern.
• Whitebeard told Ace that one era was ending and another was being born violently.
• Dark red mist carrying the power and lives of Devil Fruit Users surged toward Mary Geoise and gathered around Imu, whose presence swelled as the fourth chain cracked and the fifth began to show fine lines.
