• Morris explained that the Ancient Kingdom used vibration frequencies to influence matter and energy, and Lin Ye felt a vast system stirring on the moon.

Morris showed Lin Ye the moon’s ancient defense system activating as the Dimensional Wall weakened and the Void Dimension threatened the world. Lin Ye learned that the key holders must restart the system, then sailed for East Blue to find the moon passage on Dawn Island.

• Morris led Lin Ye to an ancient observatory, where a projection revealed shifting patterns activating across the moon.
• The moon’s system identified the Shadow Abyss as the entrance to the Void Dimension, while abnormal tides and Sea King migrations signaled energy leaking through the weakening Dimensional Wall.

• Ace placed his marked palm on the central platform, opening a passage to a vast underground maze.
• Ace followed the Mark through passages covered with Ancient Kingdom records and found carvings depicting a facility on the moon.

Ace joined forces with the Dusk Island Guardian to defeat the Truth Eradication Squad and opened the door to the labyrinth’s center, while Sabo’s crew crossed the Storm Triangle and discovered the floating Storm Regulator. Ace and the Guardian were swallowed by light beyond the door, and Sabo’s crew reached the island.

• Ace attacked the Truth Eradication Squad as they fought the Guardian, then joined the Guardian after it recognized the D-shaped Mark on his palm.

• Sabo used Dragon's bracelet to create an invisible staircase, and his team boarded the Floating Island, finding a preserved ancient city.
• Sabo and his team entered the central dome and confirmed that its machinery was the Ancient Kingdom's Weather Regulation Hub, still monitoring global climate.
• Mark detected three CP0 warships approaching, and Sabo assigned his team to defend the island, gather data, and find the control room.
• The dome's defenses activated as Sabo and Kewen approached a locked entrance, and Kewen identified it as a Sonic Lock connected to the Tuning Fork in Lin Ye's hands.
• CP0 broke through the storm and found the invisible bridge, so Sabo contacted Dragon for support and went outside to confront the agents.

Whitebeard revealed Roger’s prophecy that the moon’s patterns signaled the weakening of the Dimensional Barrier and warned that the world faced destruction if it collapsed.

• When a World Government aircraft approached the Moon Base, Lin Ye activated the Dawn Protocol, opening a hidden section containing special equipment.

Ace entered the Ancient Kingdom’s core laboratory and awakened the Flame Seed Core, which revealed the Flame Emperor Armor. The guardian then detected a World Government warship nearing Dusk Island, carrying one of the Five Elders.

• Silent Blade arrived and wounded Sabo, who received a brief mental message from Lin Ye warning him about Mary Geoise, a Dimension Gate, and the Moon Base.

• Sabo struck Silent Blade with Flame Dragon Claw and retreated into the control room, where the team revealed the island’s link to the Moon Base.
• Sabo ordered Arnold to take the data to Revolutionary Army headquarters and tell Dragon to prepare resistance, while the remaining team stayed to defend the island.

Jozu’s attempt to reach Ace was intercepted by Vice Admiral Kumamoto and the Marines, while Whitebeard met Silba to learn that the Five Elders were Void Visitors weakening the Dimensional Barrier. Silba revealed that the visitors had entered the world eight hundred years earlier and helped establish the World Government.

• A young man in a straw hat approached the Floating Island, intending to help Sabo.
• Marco sent the Whitebeard commanders on separate missions and ordered his divisions toward Fish-Man Island.
• Jozu’s ship encountered three Marine warships, whose Seastone energy nets weakened his Devil Fruit power.

Lin Ye, Silver Moon, and Ramon armed themselves to defend the lunar base from CP0’s Star Hunters, who were sent by the Five Elders to seize it. After Korion’s partial Voidification gave him the advantage, the awakened defense network forced the attackers to retreat, leaving the group to face a more urgent task.

• Ace donned the Flame Emperor Armor, awakened True Flame, and learned about its Emperor Flame Wall, True Flame Strike, and Emperor Domain abilities.
• Gandalf, one of the Five Elders, broke into the ruins with soldiers and attacked Ace in the laboratory.

• Gandalf's purple sword aura pierced and damaged the barrier, and Ace asked the Guardians how much longer activation would take.

Ace awakened the Flame Emperor Armor’s Emperor Domain and learned that the D bloodline was tied to resisting the Void. After receiving Sabo’s report, Dragon activated the Revolutionary Army’s Dawn Operation and convened its core members to prepare for the threat.
