Chapter Summaries

Lin Ye's Alliance crushed Doflamingo and Crocodile's operations, then used the discovered spy Reno as bait to draw out the Shichibukai's allies. As the World Government prepared a larger plan, its new weapon Voidbringer began weakening Devil Fruit Users at the Alliance's northern branch.

• Doflamingo's three strongholds were destroyed, while Whitebeard reported that Crocodile's forces in Alabasta had been uprooted.
• An Alliance subordinate exposed Reno as a Shichibukai spy, and Lin Ye ordered an emergency security overhaul while spreading a false rumor about a world-shaking secret.
• Charlotte Linlin's intelligence network spotted several suspected moles contacting Reno, while Doflamingo, Crocodile, and Gecko Moria began coordinating to rescue him and seize the secret.

• The World Government's elite unit activated the Voidbringers, weakening Devil Fruit Users across the northern branch and causing some to lose their abilities entirely.

The Science Force attacked the Drum Kingdom Alliance Headquarters with the Voidbringer, suppressing Lin Ye and the other Devil Fruit Users. Lin Ye’s counterattack and Ace’s Sealing Power resonance exposed ways to disrupt the weapon, but news of a worldwide Voidbringer deployment left the Alliance preparing for a larger war.

• Lin Ye learned of the Voidbringer and ordered Alliance researchers to find a countermeasure.
• The Science Force launched a surprise attack on the headquarters, and the Voidbringer suppressed Lin Ye and the other Devil Fruit Users.

Lin Ye and the Drum Kingdom Alliance learned how to exploit the Voidbringers’ periodic weakness and planned simultaneous strikes against five deployment sites before the World Government could cover the New World. As preparations began, Lin Ye and Whitebeard reaffirmed their resolve, while Ace and Kaido trained for the coming battle.

• Lin Ye presented research showing that the Voidbringers weakened for roughly three seconds every seventy-eight seconds, allowing Devil Fruit powers to recover temporarily.

In Dressrosa, Doflamingo gathered the Shichibukai and revealed that Lin Ye’s Golden Blade could exploit a weakness in the World Government’s Voidbringer, though his plan remained unstated.

• Dragon vowed to stop the Voidbringer’s deployment, and the surviving Revolutionary Army continued toward the five islands.
• Doflamingo gathered Crocodile, Gecko Moria, and other Shichibukai in Dressrosa to discuss the coming war between the World Government and the Pirate Alliance.
• Crocodile argued that the Shichibukai should remain neutral, while Moria urged them to support the World Government and preserve their positions.
• Doflamingo claimed that Lin Ye’s Golden Blade had a decisive advantage over the Voidbringer, citing a World Government Science Force test, and Crocodile asked what he intended to do with that information.

Doflamingo used a meeting with the Shichibukai to draw them into a loose search for the Second Sealing Weapon while secretly launching his own plan to find it. At Belger Island, Charlotte Linlin’s fleet began its assault on the World Government’s installation after Lin Ye’s signal appeared.

• Doflamingo told the Shichibukai that the Second Sealing Weapon was a shield hidden within the Red Line and persuaded them to gather intelligence while waiting for an opportunity.

Whitebeard destroyed the northern Voidbringer after Aokiji revealed that the Sealing Weapons were tied to a hidden truth and an ancient promise. As the Whitebeard Pirates withdrew, the story shifted to Sosa Island, where CP0 prepared to defend the southern Voidbringer.

• Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit weakened under the Voidbringer’s suppression, and Aokiji pressed his attack.

• Lin Ye ordered the Alliance fleet to attack Marys Island, assigning Sabo to lead an elite squad against the outer facilities while the main force engaged the Marines.
• Lin Ye landed, defeated the Marines in his path, and reached the central platform, where Sengoku and Garp were waiting.

After the Alliance’s victory over the World Government, Lin Ye woke and revealed what he learned about the Ancient Kingdom and the Void Century. The Five Elders reported the failure of the Voidbringer plan to Lord Imu and feared that the Golden Blade’s sealing power had awakened.

• Lin Ye woke in Freedom Fortress, and Sabo explained that resonating with the Golden Blade had left him mentally exhausted.
• Ace reported that the three Voidbringer sites were destroyed, Whitebeard was recovering, and Kaido had demolished Sosa Island; Lin Ye then shared his vision of the Ancient Kingdom and the Twenty Kingdoms Alliance.
• Alliance officers reported their forces’ withdrawal, the recovered Voidbringer wreckage, and a stone fragment that might bear Ancient Kingdom script, which they secured for Lin Ye.
• The Five Elders discussed the failed Voidbringer plan and Lin Ye’s resonance with the Golden Blade, then addressed the shadowy figure as Lord Imu.

After Imu approved the Ultimate Cleansing Plan, the World Government launched a hunt for Lin Ye and raised his bounty to a record 5.6 billion Beli. The chapter ended with Marine officers arguing over the defeat at Marys Island and warning that Whitebeard’s fleet remained a threat.

Aokiji secretly left Marineford to seek answers from a reclusive former Marine Hero, while Lin Ye studied the stele fragments and chose to resonate with the Golden Blade again. The resonance revealed a magnificent ancient island where diverse inhabitants lived in harmony, leaving Lin Ye with a clearer vision of the civilization behind the blade.

• Sengoku proposed sending Aokiji north to investigate the Whitebeard Pirates, but Aokiji instead sailed secretly toward a remote island with evidence about Lin Ye, the D Clan, and the Void Century.
• At Freedom Fortress, Lin Ye, Ace, and Sabo studied the stele fragments and concluded that the World Government’s unprecedented 5.6 billion Beli bounty showed its fear of their discoveries.

Lin Ye and Robin learned that Moonlight Island was a moving island carried by a rare Moon Whale and would surface near the Eternal Triangle Zone at the next full moon. Lin Ye led an Alliance team aboard the Gale to find it, while Aokiji and a Navy force headed for the same waters; as the Gale approached the zone, its compass failed and the sea turned inky blue.

• Robin told Lin Ye that Moonlight Island would appear in two months and required the Sealer's Blade, the Knower's Eye, and Guardian's Blood to enter.
