Chapter Summaries

At Roger’s execution, Lin Ye awakened a system that let him collect abilities from the dead and gained several powerful techniques. He escaped the crowd and used Conqueror’s Haki and Divine Departure to kill a pirate, drawing the attention of Shanks and others.

• Lin Ye witnessed Roger’s execution and heard Roger announce that he had left his treasure in one place.
• Lin Ye collected Conqueror’s Haki, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, Divine Departure, and the Voice of All Things from Roger’s death, then learned how his term-pickup system worked.

• After the Marines opened fire, Lin Ye entered an alley, where the pirate who had shoved him attacked him with a sword.
• Lin Ye stopped the pirate with Conqueror’s Haki and killed him with Divine Departure, startling Shanks, who recognized the technique as his captain’s.

After using Divine Departure and upgrading it with Entries, Lin Ye left Loguetown while Shanks arrived at the scene and narrowly avoided the Marines. As the Marines pursued the crowds and pirates scattered, a rear admiral recognized the aura of Lin Ye’s sword strike as resembling Roger’s and contacted Marine Headquarters.

After Roger’s execution, the Marines discussed whether a powerful sword strike in Loguetown could have been his and braced for the surge in piracy. A year later, Lin Ye sailed with Gecko Moria, having grown stronger through battles and Entries while considering whether he could gain full Devil Fruit powers by picking up and developing abilities.

• Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru examined photographs of a sword strike in Loguetown and concluded it was too weak to have been Roger’s.

• Lin Ye strengthened his Haki, Divine Departure, and other Entries, and learned that he could pick up a Devil Fruit user’s developed ability.
• After raising Mighty Arms and Mighty Physique, Lin Ye wondered whether developing an ability taken from a Logia user could grant him that Devil Fruit’s full power.
