Big Mom and the Five Elders reassessed the Uchiha Clan after Uchiha Kei defeated Jack the Drought, realizing the clan had several powerful fighters rather than relying on Natsu alone. The Five Elders decided to expand the Marines and strengthen Grand Line garrisons to contain the clan, though one Elder opposed the plan.

At G-2 Fortress, Sengoku approved the order, recognizing that the Uchiha’s durable clan structure posed a deeper threat than a powerful individual.

• Natsu described Pluton and Poseidon, then revealed that Uranus might be an orbital or weather-controlling weapon and was almost certainly in Imu’s hands.
