• Dragon ordered Kuma to verify Ace's location and declared Dawn Operation at global war readiness ahead of Blood Moon Night.

Steel Bone Kong learned that anomalies were spreading across the world and called a secret meeting of senior Navy officers to reveal evidence that the Five Elders served the Void. The meeting examined reports of the growing threat as the Navy faced a choice about whether to obey the World Government or protect the people.

• A Revolutionary Army outpost reported purple-black energy spreading across the Moon and its orbit shifting, prompting Dragon and Shaki to begin the Dawn Operation.

• Steel Bone Kong ordered Tsuru to gather trusted senior officers and delay their departure to Mary Geoise, then asked whether the Navy should obey its superiors or protect the world and its people.
• Steel Bone Kong convened twelve senior officers without Akainu and revealed an old manuscript identifying the Five Elders as parasites serving Void Creatures.
• Tsuru projected evidence of the anomalies, ending with a satellite image of purple-black matter spreading across the Moon toward Earth.

Steel Bone Kong’s officers chose to resist the Five Elders after Akainu’s attack on G-16 Island revealed signs of Void Erosion, and the Navy began secretly preparing to protect humanity. Meanwhile, Kalgara’s team reached a fog-shrouded island in search of the Key of Life and found its inhabitants under strange influence near an ancient hospital.

• Steel Bone Kong warned the Navy officers that the Five Elders might be controlled by Void Creatures, and Tsuru received news that Akainu had attacked G-16 Island with a weapon that transformed its people.
• Aokiji and Tsuru supported Steel Bone Kong’s suspicions, and most officers chose to stand with him while three Vice Admirals left the meeting.

• Kalgara led a five-person Revolutionary Army team to a mist-covered North Blue island, where the townspeople moved mechanically with purple halos around their eyes.
• Kalgara’s team reached an ancient hospital and noticed that its runes resembled, but differed from, Ancient Kingdom writing.

Kalgara’s team found Aisha, guardian of the island and holder of the Key of Life, as she treated the Void-contaminated village chief. When the Purification Corps invaded, Aisha used the key to cleanse the islanders and strengthen the island’s mist barrier, temporarily stopping their advance.

• Kalgara’s team reached the hospital’s central hall and met Aisha, who transformed the Key of Life into a dagger and demanded proof of their identity.

• KS-7 told Ace that the D Clan was the last hope for rebuilding the Barrier and that Laugh Tale was the Ancient Kingdom’s central control center.
• KS-7 transmitted Laugh Tale’s coordinates and activation data to Ace, then began transferring its remaining energy to him.

• The group reached their boat, but a rune-covered warship rose from the sea as they prepared to leave.
• The Purification Commander-in-Chief confronted Aisha and demanded the Key of Life, while Kalgara stood between them and refused to surrender.

Ace and Rayleigh learned that the Dimensional Barrier would collapse in 72 hours and that they needed to reunite seven keys to repair it. With enemy forces closing on Dawn Island, Ace set out for Alabasta to find two moving key bearers while Rayleigh stayed behind to protect the station.

• Rayleigh showed Ace the Miniature Spectrum Temple Branch Station, which tracked the Dimensional Barrier and predicted its collapse in 72 hours.

• Ramon sensed a severe temporal anomaly as the Dimensional Barrier began collapsing around the oasis, and Lin Ye shielded the area from Void Energy.
• Vivi led the Royal Guard toward the capital while Lin Ye stayed with Ramon, who tried to stabilize time as Revolutionary Army forces and a Cipher Pol 9 warship approached.

• Kuma learned that the search for Ace in the East Blue had found only battle traces near Dawn Island, then ordered the Revolutionary Army to investigate Germa Kingdom.
• Kuma and the Revolutionary Army disguised themselves as merchants and prepared to enter Germa Kingdom, whose harbor was unusually quiet.

Kuma and the Revolutionary Army infiltrated the Germa Kingdom’s underground laboratory and discovered that the Stability Key was causing residents to mutate. As the team began rescuing the test subjects and Kuma moved to seize the key, an alert revealed the Blood Moon Night would arrive in less than two days.

• Kuma and the Revolutionary Army found signs that void pollution was spreading among Germa residents while remaining contained to a limited area.
• A Germa researcher helped Kuma and two Revolutionary Army members enter the experimental zone, where they learned Vinsmoke Judge had acquired an ancient key and was conducting genetic experiments.

• Akainu's fleet arrived early and began searching the island, so Aokiji proposed pretending to arrest Rayleigh as cover.
• Rayleigh gave Aokiji a Laugh Tale coordinate fragment and the Miniature Spectrum Temple's core data to deliver to Ace, while Comps began erasing the remaining data.
• Akainu entered the island's central region and found Aokiji escorting Rayleigh in Seastone handcuffs.

Lin Ye, Ramon, Vivi, and Ace discovered their three keys could slow the Void Vortex, but Cipher Pol 9 and the Revolutionary Army closed in around them. A fight broke out before they could escape through Alabasta’s ancient passage, leaving the group under attack and needing to split up.

• Aokiji refused to hand Rayleigh over to Akainu, citing Steel Bone Kong’s orders and challenging Akainu to produce a superior order from the Five Elders.
• Lin Ye and Ramon used the Dawn Blade and Time Tuning Fork to defend against the spreading Void Energy as Vivi spotted approaching Revolutionary Army forces and World Government warships.
