Chapter Summaries

Kizaru and the other officers uncovered evidence that the Five Elders were connected to Void Energy and a secret Ascension Ritual, and agreed to organize covert resistance. Kizaru read Sengoku’s classified file about D, the Ancient Weapons, and Laugh Tale, while the Five Elders continued preparing the ritual and searching for keys.

• Kizaru showed Fujitora, Tsuru, and Ryokugyu evidence that the Five Elders had changed and that missing Navy personnel were likely taken to Mary Geoise for the Ascension Ritual.
• Kizaru, Fujitora, Tsuru, and Ryokugyu agreed to secretly contact potential allies and investigate Void Energy, the Five Elders, and the ritual.
• Kizaru asked Tsuru about Sengoku’s classified file on D, then retrieved it from the Fleet Admiral’s private archives.
• Kizaru read Sengoku’s notes saying D were original guardians and the Ancient Weapons were meant to defend against a greater threat.
• The Five Elders discussed finding the remaining keys, confirmed Rayleigh had been captured, and said preparations for the ritual were more than halfway complete.

Kuma recovered the Stability Key from Germa’s laboratory and led the Revolutionary Army’s evacuation as Void energy turned residents into mutants. At the harbor, Vinsmoke Ichiji appeared with a sealed metal container but did not attack, leaving his intentions unknown.

• Kuma took the Stability Key while Revolutionary Army soldiers freed the test subjects, many of whom had suffered irreversible mutations.
• Vinsmoke Judge arrived with enhanced soldiers, and Kuma fought them while discovering Judge and some rescued subjects had purple Void-changed eyes.
• Judge revealed that Germa was a testing ground for Void energy and activated the laboratory’s self-destruct sequence.
• Kuma blasted Judge and the soldiers aside, then led the survivors through the collapsing facility and out beneath a purple vortex spreading across Germa.
• The research assistant told Kuma that the Five Elders had used Germa’s experiments to let the Void take root, and the Revolutionary Army fought its way toward the harbor.
• Vinsmoke Ichiji blocked the fleet’s pier while holding a sealed metal container, but he did not attack.

Ichiji gave Kuma the Stability Key mission’s research materials before staying behind to rescue Germa’s survivors, while the Revolutionary Army escaped as the kingdom was swallowed by a Void Eye. Dragon ordered Kuma to head for a secret Calm Belt base, as an invasion began on Amazon Lily, where Hancock and Ivankov led the island’s defense.

• Ichiji gave Kuma his father’s research on Void Energy and apologized to him for Sanji before leaving to search for survivors.
• Kuma and the Revolutionary Army fleet escaped as the Void Eye consumed Germa Kingdom, leaving only purple ripples in the sea.
• Dragon contacted Kuma and ordered him to take the Stability Key to a secret base in the Calm Belt.
• Enemy ships began landing on Amazon Lily, and Hancock assigned Savona, Marigold, and Ivankov to defend different fronts while civilians were evacuated.
• Hancock fought the invaders with her powers and Conqueror’s Haki, while Ivankov drove back assault squads on the northern battlefield.

Hancock used the Link Key’s Expanded Vision and discovered that CP0’s main force was hidden underwater, while a Void energy field threatened Amazon Lily. She ordered an evacuation through the eastern passage, then fought Rob Lucci to cover the retreat as a Revolutionary Army submarine arrived and an elder shielded her from Lucci’s fatal strike.

• Hancock used Expanded Vision to locate the underwater invaders, identify CP0 as their commanders, and see that the southwest defenses had fallen while the eastern evacuation passage remained open.
• Hancock told Emporio Ivankov what she had discovered and ordered the warriors to evacuate the vulnerable people through the eastern secret passage while she and the elders covered them.
• Hancock led the defense at the temple as her strength waned, then fought Rob Lucci, who revealed his Void mutations and resisted her attacks.
• A Revolutionary Army submarine surfaced near the shore, and Emporio Ivankov signaled the retreat while the remaining warriors opened a path for Hancock.
• Lucci transformed into a half-human, half-leopard form and prepared a fatal strike, but an elderly tribal elder stepped in to block it.

Hancock escaped Amazon Lily with Emporio Ivankov and headed for the Revolutionary Army’s secret base, where Dragon coordinated preparations to gather the seven keys and reach Laugh Tale before the Five Elders completed the Ascension Ritual. New reports brought possible Marine cooperation and Whitebeard’s support, but Void Contamination continued to spread.

• Hancock escaped Amazon Lily with Emporio Ivankov and vowed to repair the Dimensional Barrier and return to free her people.
• At the Dawn base, Dragon assigned his divisions to monitor Void Contamination, secure supplies, and study how to activate the seven keys.
• Dragon reviewed the key holders and noted that the Spectrum Key remained missing while the Defense Key might be in Wano Country.
• A communications officer reported that Akainu had captured Rayleigh, Aokiji offered cooperation, and the Whitebeard Pirates agreed to join the final battle.
• Dragon ordered his forces to include Whitebeard’s crew in their plans and prepared to meet Whitebeard as contamination spread and seven islands became hatcheries.

Dragon led the Revolutionary Army toward a secret meeting with Whitebeard as Void Contamination spread and the World Government pursued the Keys. After fighting off contaminated forces at sea, Dragon revealed the threat to Whitebeard, who wanted to know why Ace had become involved.

• Dragon reviewed reports of spreading Void Contamination, learned Amazon Lily had fallen, and ordered searches for the Spectrum Key and Defense Key.
• Contaminated soldiers ambushed the Dawn, but Dragon defeated them with Conqueror's Haki and a storm before ordering the ship onward.
• Three days later, Dragon and Corazon met Whitebeard, Marco, and other Whitebeard Pirates on a hidden island.
• Dragon showed Whitebeard images and records of the Void threat, and Whitebeard asked why Ace had become involved.

Dragon revealed Void’s threat and the keys to Whitebeard, who agreed to join the fight after learning that Roger had entrusted him with the Spectrum Key. At Marine Headquarters, Kizaru, Aokiji, and Vice Admiral Tsuru uncovered signs that Sakazuki and many Marines had been controlled, while Rayleigh was held for interrogation.

• Dragon explained Void, the seven keys, and the sealing device on Laugh Tale to Whitebeard.
• Whitebeard revealed the Spectrum Key tattooed on his chest and agreed to cooperate, provided he could confirm Ace was joining willingly.
• Aokiji and Vice Admiral Tsuru told Kizaru about mutation incidents, suspicious orders, and missing officers, and they concluded that Sakazuki was likely controlled.
• Sakazuki announced that he had captured Rayleigh and demanded sole access to the special interrogation room.
• Kizaru gave Sakazuki the keycard, then instructed Aokiji and Vice Admiral Tsuru to contact Dragon while he sought a way to reach Rayleigh.
• Sakazuki entered the detention block, where Rayleigh was bound in Seastone chains.

Akainu and Dr. Vega prepared the Void Ascension Ritual, planning to convert Marine forces and use Pluton if they could not gather every key. In Alabasta, Vivi and King Cobra discovered ancient records linking the current anomalies to a past Void disaster.

• Akainu interrogated Rayleigh for information about the keys, while Rayleigh secretly loosened his chains after Akainu left.
• Dr. Vega reported that the conversion agent was nearly ready and that Vegapunk was guiding the research from a cultivation tank.
• Vegapunk announced that the full moon, less than two weeks away, would be the best time for the Ascension Ritual.
• Akainu said he would collect every key and use Pluton to destroy Laugh Tale and break the Dimensional Barrier if necessary.
• Vivi and King Cobra found records describing the Great Hollow Incident and connected its Void disaster to the anomalies and the Five Elders' plans.

Vivi and King Cobra discovered that Alabasta’s Sun Temple held the Spectrum Key, but CP0 tried to seize their documents before Crocodile intervened. The three formed a temporary alliance and reached the temple, where they found signs that someone had already entered and brought Void Contamination inside.

• Vivi found an ancient record identifying the Spectrum Key and its hiding place in Alabasta’s Sun Temple.
• Three CP0 agents attacked King Cobra and Vivi to take the documents, but Crocodile arrived and drove them to retreat.
• Crocodile explained that purple Void Contamination had spread through desert ruins, and he joined Vivi and King Cobra to seek the key.
• Three days later, Crocodile, Vivi, and King Cobra uncovered the Sun Temple entrance and found its doors slightly ajar.
• The group followed evidence of a prior battle through the temple and found purple contamination coating parts of its walls.

Crocodile, Vivi, and King Cobra found the Spectrum Key, but it rejected Vivi, so Crocodile proposed seeking help from the holders of the other keys. In Wano, Hiyori learned that her kimono revealed the Defense Key’s location just as purple-clad attackers breached Kozuki Castle, and Fujitora urged her to leave for Tengu Mountain.

• Vivi approached the Spectrum Key, but its invisible force hurled her away and Crocodile caught her.
• Crocodile explained that the key chose its own bearer and suggested contacting Dragon and the Revolutionary Army for help.

• Hiyori revealed that Wano’s Defense Key was the Lock-Country Artifact, though she did not know where it was hidden.
• Kawamatsu announced that Kurozumi remnants and purple-clad ninja had attacked Kozuki Castle, and the Scabbards fought back.
• Hiyori’s kimono revealed a map marking a shrine atop Tengu Mountain, and Fujitora called for them to leave while Kin'emon offered an escort.

Hiyori, Fujitora, and four of the Nine Red Scabbards reached Tengu Mountain and defeated its awakened guardian to claim the Kozuki Clan’s sacred relic. Hiyori learned the relic was the Barrier Blade, and she agreed to join Fujitora and the other key holders while the Scabbards prepared to protect Wano Country.

• Hiyori, Fujitora, and Kin'emon, Kawamatsu, Nekomamushi, and Ashura Doji traveled toward Tengu Mountain through land corrupted by the Void.
• Fujitora and the Scabbards fought off purple-clad ninjas and encountered increasingly unnatural conditions as they approached the shrine.
• A stone warrior awakened at the shrine gate, and Fujitora destroyed the jewel on its forehead after Hiyori revealed how to defeat it.
• Hiyori found the ancient katana in the underground chamber, and it recognized her as the Kozuki heir.
• Hiyori learned the katana was the Barrier Blade, capable of severing connections between dimensions and creating an impenetrable barrier.
• Hiyori agreed to travel with Fujitora to meet Dragon and the other key holders, while Kin'emon offered to accompany her and leave the others to defend Wano Country.

Dragon gathered the holders of the Seven Keys at Dawn to plan how to stop the Void Gate from opening during the Purple Moon in ten days. They learned that the ritual must be performed at Laugh Tale, and Rayleigh revealed that the missing Purification Chain was hidden beneath Akainu’s office at Marineford.

• Dragon briefed the assembled leaders on the Void’s spread, the World Government’s Ascension Ritual, and the impending Purple Moon.
• Ace, Lin Ye, Kuma, Hancock, Crocodile, and Kozuki Hiyori presented the Flame Key, Dawn Blade, Stability Key, Link Key, Spectrum Key, and Defense Key.
• A researcher explained that all seven keys had to be activated at the Dimensional Convergence Point at Laugh Tale within ten days.
• Dragon announced that the Purification Chain, the seventh key, was still missing.
• Marco received a transmission from Whitebeard, and Rayleigh revealed that the Navy had hidden the Purification Chain in a secret vault beneath Akainu’s office at Marineford.

Dragon organized two missions to seize the Purification Chain from Marine Headquarters and sail to Laugh Tale, while the Navy split into factions over Akainu’s experiments and orders. Tsuru’s squad reached the vault amid a battle between Navy soldiers.

• Rayleigh warned Dragon that Dr. Vega had developed a drug to turn people into Void Thralls and that the G-1 base faced conversion within three days.
• Dragon assigned Whitebeard to lead the mission for the Purification Chain and planned to take the other key holders to Laugh Tale with Rayleigh’s help.
• Lin Ye and Ace spoke on the Dawn as they prepared to leave, and Ace worried over whether they could succeed.
• Akainu confronted Kizaru over withdrawing the Special Tactical Unit from Island 76, and the two Admirals began fighting in Marine Headquarters.
• Tsuru led Momousagi, Chaton, and loyal soldiers toward the vault to secure the Purification Chain, but they found Navy factions fighting outside it.

Tsuru’s forces fought their way into the Marine treasury to retrieve the Purification Chain while the Admirals battled Akainu’s growing corruption. With the Vinsmoke Family arriving to counter the purple energy, Tsuru stripped the corruption from Bel-mère, but the threat to the treasury remained.

• Tsuru sent Chaton and Momousagi to draw enemy fire while she led a squad toward the treasury, aided by Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp, whom Rayleigh had sent.
• Tsuru entered the already-open treasury, passed its fingerprint and voiceprint security, and took the Purification Chain, the seventh key, before someone ordered her to put it down.
• Kizaru and Akainu fought through Marine Headquarters until Aokiji froze the battlefield and confronted Akainu over his corruption and the civil war.
• Bel-mère and purple-eyed members of a special tactical unit cornered Tsuru and demanded the necklace, but the Vinsmoke Family arrived with weapons that could counter the purple energy.
• Tsuru dodged Bel-mère’s attack and used her Seal-Cleansing Ultimate Move to strip away the purple energy, leaving Bel-mère collapsed in agony.

Lin Ye and Vice Admiral Tsuru fought the Void-corrupted Bel-mère in Marine Headquarters’ treasury, where the Dawn Blade revealed a link to the real Purification Chain. As Whitebeard arrived, Akainu prepared to face him while his Void-driven power escalated.

• Bel-mère attacked Vice Admiral Tsuru, but Lin Ye intervened with the Dawn Blade and discovered that it briefly weakened the Void Energy controlling her.
• Bel-mère warned Lin Ye and Tsuru that the chain was bait and that the Void’s attempt to merge dimensions would destroy both realities.
• Lin Ye’s Dawn Blade pointed to a hidden compartment in the treasury, and Tsuru moved to search it while Lin Ye held Bel-mère off.
• Bel-mère said Akainu controlled the key routes through Marine Headquarters, then a tremor announced Whitebeard’s arrival.
• At Marine Headquarters, Akainu’s Purple Patterns spread as he attacked Aokiji and Kizaru, declaring that his evolved power could surpass Whitebeard.

Lin Ye and his allies escaped the treasury with the real Purification Chain, but found Marine Headquarters sealed by controlled Navy soldiers. After learning of a secret route to the shore and Whitebeard’s five-minute bomb deadline, Lin Ye led the group toward it as the Dawn Blade’s connection to the purple energy—and its past—became clearer.

• Tsuru retrieved the real Purification Chain, and Lin Ye used the Dawn Blade to sever the purple energy’s hold on Bel-mère long enough for the group to leave the treasury.
• Lin Ye, Tsuru, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and the Vinsmoke Family found their exits blocked by controlled Navy soldiers as Akainu demanded the chain.
• Whitebeard told Lin Ye that bombs would detonate throughout Marine Headquarters in five minutes, and Lin Ye briefly purified a soldier with the Dawn Blade.
• The soldier revealed that a strange song had influenced the Navy and that a secret passage lay behind the laundry room at the end of the right corridor.
• Zoro, Sanji, and the Vinsmoke Family fought a path to the right corridor while Lin Ye noticed the Dawn Blade growing brighter around purple energy.
• Lin Ye recalled finding the Dawn Blade in a skeleton’s hand inside an ancient stone chamber on an island covered in purple mist three years earlier.

Lin Ye and his allies escaped Marine Headquarters with the Purification Chain after Fujitora stopped the controlled Vice Admiral Momonga. They reached the Revolutionary Army’s secret base, where all seven keys had gathered, and prepared to discuss their next move against the Void.

• Lin Ye and Vice Admiral Tsuru found the hidden evacuation passage behind the laundry room and escaped through it toward a seaside cave.
• Vice Admiral Momonga and his controlled unit blocked the cave exit, but Fujitora restrained them with gravity and let Lin Ye’s group pass.
• Whitebeard’s bomb detonated as Lin Ye, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and the others boarded Revolutionary Army ships, and Lin Ye saw a purple vortex above Marine Headquarters.
• Lin Ye discovered that the Dawn Blade’s runes had fully emerged and vowed to stop Akainu before heading to Laugh Tale with the seventh key secured.
• After traveling for days, Lin Ye arrived at the Revolutionary Army base Dawn, where Dragon gathered the heroes and all seven keys for a meeting.

The seven keys and the Dawn Blade formed a Star Chart to Laugh Tale, where the group planned to repair the Dimensional Barrier before the Purple Moon appeared in eight days. Lin Ye and Ace suspected Luffy was trapped in the Void, but an approaching fleet triggered an emergency before they could investigate further.

• Dragon confirmed that all seven keys had been gathered and said they had to be activated at the Dimensional Convergence Point on Laugh Tale.
• Lin Ye placed the Dawn Blade beside the keys, and their resonance formed a Star Chart pointing the way to Laugh Tale.
• Rayleigh identified the chart and warned that the route crossed dangerous dimensional passages where members of Roger's crew had vanished.
• Dragon set a deadline of eight days, and Rayleigh began explaining the route and its dangers to the group.
• On the deck, Ace and Lin Ye compared how they had found the Flame Key and Dawn Blade, then shared dreams suggesting Luffy was trapped in the Void.
• Sabo announced that a fleet was approaching, and Dragon saw dozens of purple lights closing in on the radar screen.

The Revolutionary Army and its allies fought the Void-corrupted Navy fleet as the seven keys worked together to disrupt the enemy’s energy network. The battle remained dangerous, with Akainu’s flagship closing in and Dragon ordering the crew to prepare for boarding combat.

• Dragon ordered Dawn to set sail for Laugh Tale early, while Whitebeard agreed to hold off the pursuing fleet.
• The purple fleet attacked Dawn with beams of Void Energy, and Whitebeard’s seaquake failed to sink the ships.
• Ace’s Flame Key and Hiyori’s Barrier Blade shielded Dawn from the beams.
• Lin Ye used the Dawn Blade to sever the energy lines connecting the enemy ships, weakening the fleet and confusing its controlled crews.
• Sabo, Kaku, Robin, and the other key holders joined the fight, and all seven keys formed a field that temporarily suppressed Void corruption.
• Dragon ordered the crew to prepare for boarding as Akainu’s transformed flagship approached.

Lin Ye used the Dawn Blade to absorb some of Akainu’s Void Energy, helping the Dawn’s crew break through the blockade, but he was left with Purple Patterns on his arm. As the ship sailed toward Laugh Tale, Rayleigh recognized that the marks were unusual and took Lin Ye aside to reveal what he knew.

• Akainu attacked the Dawn with a sphere of magma and Void Energy after Dragon refused to hand over the key.
• Lin Ye struck the sphere with the Dawn Blade, which absorbed Void Energy and showed him a vision of an ancient warrior before the explosion knocked him unconscious.
• Ace told Lin Ye that the Dawn had escaped the blockade and was sailing toward Laugh Tale, while Whitebeard and escort ships covered their retreat.
• Lin Ye discovered Purple Patterns on his arm, and Ace’s Flame Key briefly weakened them, leading Vice Admiral Tsuru to suspect the keys could counteract Void Energy.
• Ace said the ship would reach Laugh Tale’s outer waters in five days, and Lin Ye insisted they must reach the Dimensional Convergence Point before Purple Moon in the Sky.
• Rayleigh examined Lin Ye’s arm, said the marks were not ordinary Void Contamination, and brought him to his cabin to show him a leather notebook.
