Su Hang survived a wild boar and learned that his system offered no protection, then reached Windmill Village and encountered Shanks, Luffy, and the Red-Haired Pirates. The system revealed a world-changing opportunity in Shanks’s wooden box, and Su Hang recognized the Devil Fruit inside as the Gum-Gum Fruit.

• Makino told Luffy that the box held a Devil Fruit Shanks had brought back, and Su Hang identified it as the Gum-Gum Fruit.

Su Hang confirmed that the crate held the Nika Fruit and learned he had to personally change its ownership before Luffy completed the fate loop. After spotting a government spy outside the tavern, he received a twenty-four-hour interception mission as Shanks recognized the threat.

• Su Hang worked at Makino's tavern, told Shanks he had amnesia, and learned the crate's fruit had been seized from the World Government and was guarded by the Red-Haired Pirates.
• Su Hang briefly touched the crate while steadying it and received confirmation that it contained the Mythical Zoan Nika Fruit, temporarily held by the Red-Haired Pirates for Monkey D. Luffy.
• Su Hang spotted a fisherman secretly sketching the tavern and the crate, and Shanks noticed him too.
• Su Hang realized the government spy's presence could spark a pursuit and create a chance to seize the crate.
• The system issued Su Hang a twenty-four-hour mission to personally change the Nika Fruit's ownership before Luffy completed the fate loop.

Su Hang learned that he had to personally seize the Nika Fruit to complete his mission, so he arranged to exploit a clash between Higuma’s bandits and a government spy. As night fell, he prepared to make both groups draw Red-Hair’s crew away from the box, while Benns readied his weapon to take it.

• Su Hang questioned the mission conditions and learned that he had to personally claim the Nika Fruit and alter its destined cycle.
• Su Hang used Luffy’s loud talk about the box to expose Benns, who contacted an East Blue patrol ship and then sent a token to Higuma to lure the bandits into stealing it.

• Su Hang rolled a barrel in front of the chest, and Benns’s Den Den Mushi ordered him to send the fruit out of Windmill Village that night.

Su Hang stole and ate the Nika fruit before Benns could reclaim it, gaining its rubber powers as the Red-Haired Pirates defeated the bandits. The World Government detected the transfer, and Su Hang accepted the pursuit while Luffy vowed to surpass him.

• Su Hang struck Benns, took the purple fruit from the box, and ate it despite Luffy's protests.
• Shanks stopped Benns from shooting Su Hang, and the Red-Haired Pirates fought Higuma and the bandits.
• Su Hang's body gained rubber properties, letting him withstand Benns's bullets and knock him down.
• Benns told the World Government that Su Hang had eaten the fruit, and Shanks cut off the call.
• Luffy confronted Su Hang for taking the fruit meant for him, then vowed to find greater strength and defeat him.
• Shanks restored Su Hang's stretched arm, and the system warned that the World Government had detected Nika's change of hands.

Su Hang used his newly acquired rubber body to shield Luffy and Lia from Higuma’s gunpowder explosion, then recovered with help from Luffy and Shanks. Higuma escaped, and Luffy challenged Su Hang to prove the strength of the stolen Devil Fruit.

• Higuma seized Lia as a hostage, but Su Hang’s stretched arm tangled around a tavern post and left him unable to attack.
• Higuma set off Benns’s gunpowder, and Su Hang tore down the tavern’s support post to fling himself over Luffy and Lia as a shield.

• Luffy handed Lia to Makino, returned to the tavern, and challenged Su Hang to show how strong the stolen fruit was.

Su Hang and Luffy fought in the backyard, where Luffy knocked him down twice before water weakened him and ended the match. Luffy accepted that Su Hang had taken the fruit meant for him but vowed to find his own path, while Su Hang learned that pursuers would arrive before sunset.

Su Hang and the Red-Haired Pirates uncovered Benns's tracking card and a cipher pointing to a government pickup ship and a lockdown order. As Shanks planned to confront the ship at North Cliff, Benns escaped and revealed that a Village-Annihilation Cannon was already positioned there.

• Su Hang noticed Benns repeatedly guarding his collar and sleeve, and Beckman found a Vivre Card in the collar and a hidden Sea-Route Cipher in the cuff.
• Shanks and Beckman deciphered the government pickup ship's location beyond North Cliff and learned that a lockdown would follow if the target was not retrieved.

• Benns broke free after biting down on a hidden drug and fled through the eastern window toward the northern path.
• Shanks pursued Benns, who shouted that a Village-Annihilation Cannon had already been set up at North Cliff.

Su Hang, Luffy, and Beckman stopped Benns from using the North Cliff cannon to destroy Foosha Village, but Benns revealed that a distant support ship had loaded another cannon. The chapter ended with the ship aiming at Su Hang and Benns challenging him to withstand its shot.

• Benns reached the North Cliff warehouse and prepared its cannon to fire on Foosha Village while Su Hang and Luffy pursued him.
• Su Hang tried to turn the cannon, but hidden anchor chains held it in place, and the recoil mechanism dislocated both his shoulders.
• Luffy threw a wet sack over the fuse to slow the flame, while Beckman arrived and helped Su Hang reset his shoulders.
• Luffy damaged an anchor chain and Beckman shot through a lock as Su Hang twisted the cannon's muzzle toward the sea.
• The cannon fired into the northern sea, and its recoil sent Su Hang crashing through the warehouse door into Benns.
• Benns pointed out that a distant support ship had loaded its second cannon and urged it to fire at Su Hang.

Su Hang knocked the support ship’s shells off course, sending one back through its mast, and defeated Benns after he threatened Luffy. After Su Hang unlocked the Nika Core Basic Module, he and Beckman uncovered a hidden order calling for a full-island purge once Nika changed hands.

• Su Hang used a cable and his rubber body to divert the first shell into the sea, then learned Benns had loaded the warehouse with gunpowder and the ship carried more shells.
• Su Hang struck the second shell back toward the support ship, where it smashed through the mast and set the deck ablaze.
• Benns escaped into the stone ditch and threatened Luffy, but Su Hang’s rebounding fist smashed the gun and knocked Benns unconscious.
• Su Hang unlocked the Nika Core Basic Module at three percent compatibility, while his body showed signs of strain.
• Beckman found a hidden message beneath the oil paper, and Su Hang read its final line: once Nika changed hands, the island was to be purged.

Su Hang questioned Shanks about why he had not killed him to reclaim the Nika Fruit, and Shanks said he would only kill Su Hang if he used his power to hurt innocents. As they planned to fake the support ship’s destruction and leave Windmill Village, they discovered that a higher-ranking agent had arrived to confirm Su Hang’s death.

• Shanks brought food from Makino and told Su Hang that the World Government had ordered the entire island wiped out.
• Su Hang pressed Shanks on why he had not killed him for the Nika Fruit, and Shanks said he was watching how Su Hang used his power and would stake his life on stopping him if necessary.
• Su Hang proposed making the Government believe Nika had sunk with the support ship so he could gain time to leave Windmill Village with the Cause-and-Effect Lighthouse.
• Beckman found a coded iron plate hidden in Benns's sleeve, and Benns revealed that a second signal flare had already been sent.
• A red flare split into five trails, the iron plate’s insignia turned blood-red, and Benns said the arriving man had come to confirm whether Su Hang was dead.

Su Hang tested whether Perfect Fusion protected him from seawater and discovered that it did not, then was dragged into deeper water after his safety stake broke. Luffy found the broken rope and ran to save him as Su Hang sank.

• Shanks sent Beckman to take Benns back and led the Red-Haired Pirates to intercept the Clearance Ship while Su Hang stayed behind to confirm the effects of seawater.
• Su Hang tied himself to a stake on the shore and entered the shallows, where seawater weakened him and shut down his Nika Core module.
• A rip current pulled Su Hang away from shore, and the rotten stake snapped as his rope went taut.
• Su Hang could not undo the fusion or reactivate his module, and the current dragged him beneath the waves.
• Luffy found the broken rope and Su Hang's shoes, spotted Su Hang's hand briefly surface, and ran to save him.

Dadan and Luffy rescued Su Hang from the reef, and Luffy helped revive him with CPR. After Su Hang promised to cook for them and repay Luffy with help in a future sea crisis, cannon fire targeted Windmill Village, forcing Dadan to carry him toward the village.

Su Hang organized Foosha Village’s evacuation while recovering from nearly drowning, and he prepared meat rice for the villagers. Higuma abducted Luffy and demanded that Red-Hair come alone to South Beach, leaving Su Hang and the others facing a hostage crisis.

• Shanks intercepted the Clearance Ship’s cannon fire, giving Su Hang time to tell Dadan and Makino to evacuate the villagers through the Hunting Trail.
• Su Hang planned for landing boats at South Beach and the eastern reef cove, then cooked meat rice while promising to use multiple safeguards for future high-risk tests.
• Makino reported that the villagers had begun evacuating, and Su Hang set out with Dadan to check South Beach while Luffy carried food to the village children.
• Higuma ambushed Luffy near the well, captured him, and retreated toward South Beach as Makino returned to the tavern for help.
• Su Hang found a bloodstained message demanding that Red-Hair come alone to the beach if he wanted Luffy alive.

Su Hang and Dadan pursued Higuma as he escaped by boat with Luffy, but the struggle left Su Hang and Luffy in the sea and drew the Lord of the Coast. Shanks rescued them, lost his left arm protecting Luffy, and drove the sea beast away, then told Luffy and Su Hang to remember his wager on their future.

• Su Hang and Dadan reached South Beach and found Higuma escaping with the bound Luffy in a fishing boat.
• Su Hang and Luffy pulled the boat back toward the reef, but Higuma threw a smoke bomb, broke Su Hang’s grip, and kicked Luffy into the sea as the boat began sinking.

• The Lord of the Coast crushed Higuma and his boat, then swept Luffy off the plank as Shanks rescued Su Hang and grabbed Luffy from the waves.
• Shanks shielded Luffy from the sea beast and lost his left arm, while Su Hang briefly restrained its jaws and Shanks drove it away with a powerful presence.
• Shanks told Luffy and Su Hang to remember his wager on them and not make him regret it.

After Shanks saved Luffy and Su Hang from the Lord of the Coast, Su Hang resolved to leave Windmill Village and challenged Shanks over the World Government’s pursuit of the Nika fruit. They made a pact about protecting innocents, but the Navy’s blockade left the village under immediate threat.

• Beckman treated Shanks’s severed shoulder, while Luffy promised to grow strong enough to protect himself and Su Hang admitted that good intentions could still get people killed when he was weak.
• Su Hang said he would leave Windmill Village to draw the pursuers away, then told Shanks he wanted to survive and gain enough power to choose his own path.
• Su Hang promised to oppose anyone who treated human lives as expendable, and Shanks revealed that he had been waiting for an answer about the Nika fruit and that the old prophecy no longer mattered.
• Shanks and Su Hang made a pact to fight each other if either endangered innocents, and Luffy vowed to find his own path and defeat Su Hang.
• Beckman received a report that the Navy had sealed the East Coast, North Harbor, and nearby waterways with at least six hundred men, ability-detecting dogs, and Seastone restraints.

Su Hang prepared to draw the pursuers away from Windmill Village while Luffy accepted Shanks's hat and vowed to become a pirate without a Devil Fruit. The plan was disrupted when infiltrators abducted Benns, and Su Hang raced after them into the northern woods.

• Su Hang argued with Luffy, gave him a list of his Devil Fruit weaknesses, and promised to wait until Luffy could challenge him without a Devil Fruit.
• Luffy kept the empty scabbard as a promise to return it after defeating Su Hang, while Shanks left his Straw Hat with Luffy and urged him to choose his own future.
• Su Hang prepared to escape by the mountain path as Shanks and Beckman organized the Red-Hair Pirates' attack on the blockade.
• A villager reported that Hank had vanished, and Su Hang and Shanks found Marine boot prints, blood, and a button linking the infiltrators to Benns's captors.
• Beckman reported that infiltrators had knocked out the warehouse guards with sleeping gas and abducted Benns using a Seastone net, so Su Hang sprinted after them.

Su Hang planted evidence and arranged a fake report to make the Navy believe he had died at sea, but an unknown caller recognized him and alerted Thorne to his location near the harbor. The Marines surrounded the clock tower as the caller exposed that Su Hang was still alive.

• Su Hang secretly added bloody clothing, coded material, and a supply boat's identification plate to the evidence box, then prompted Benns to claim that Su Hang had escaped by boat.
• After Shanks sank the supply boat, Marines reported seeing a black-haired figure fall into the sea, and Benns used the evidence to convince Thorne that the Nika host had died.
• Thorne ordered the sinking area dredged, but the Marines found no body among the wreckage and killed sea beasts attracted by the blood.
• Su Hang climbed to the harbor clock tower and used a Den Den Mushi to send a false death confirmation under Benns's identity.
• The unknown person on the receiver exposed Su Hang by revealing details Benns could not know, while Thorne tracked the call to the clock tower and surrounded it.

Su Hang escaped the Marines’ harbor search by hiding inside a water barrel aboard Lorne’s grain ship, while Shanks drew the pursuing warships away. The ship broke through the blockade, but Thorne discovered evidence of Su Hang’s escape and ordered an East Blue-wide search for an unnamed rubber-powered man.

• Su Hang sabotaged a harbor crane to distract the Marines, disguised himself as a dockhand, and joined the line of workers headed to Lorne’s grain ship.
• Lorne recognized Su Hang as the man who had rescued Lia and hid him inside a dry compartment in a blue-banded water barrel.
• Thorne nearly found Su Hang when his Seastone probing rod detected the barrel’s hollow compartment, but Shanks’s diversion and a burning boat forced the Marines to let the grain ships leave.
• After the ship escaped the blockade, Su Hang emerged from the barrel and agreed to protect Lorne’s ship until the next island.
• Thorne found Su Hang’s stretched skin in the barrel and ordered every East Blue base to seek an unnamed rubber-powered man.

After the system rewarded Su Hang for taking the Nika fruit and warned him that an unknown source was watching, he prepared to protect a relief ship from the Black Sail Raiders despite his injuries. In Mary Geoise, Imu personally wrote Su Hang’s name onto a list and ordered the purge of Windmill Village suspended so he could be observed.

• The system strengthened Su Hang’s physique, gave him an altered historical fragment, and warned him that a Cause-and-Effect Lighthouse had formed around his changed destiny.
• Su Hang learned that the Black Sail Raiders were following the Morning Bell Caravan and refused Lorne’s plan to give them thirty percent of the relief grain.
• Su Hang demonstrated his stretched arm to convince Lorne that he could defend the ship, though his injury limited him to one powerful punch.
• Imu watched the future fracture after Su Hang took the fruit, heard the Five Elders’ reports, and wrote Su Hang’s name onto a list.
• Imu suspended the planned purge of Windmill Village and ordered the Five Elders to lure Su Hang into revealing his choices rather than kill him.

Su Hang used Mia Compass’s wind reading and the pirates’ grappling lines to wreck the Grayfin Pirates’ boats and defeat Captain Grayfin. After the grain ship escaped, Mia and Su Hang discovered twelve unregistered children hidden in a false compartment, leaving the caravan with an unexpected secret to address.

• Su Hang refused Captain Grayfin’s demand for grain and young laborers, then arranged with Mia Compass to use an approaching crosswind against the pirate boats.

• Lorne agreed to pay Su Hang ten thousand Beli for the escort and waive half his fare.
• Mia heard knocks beneath the cargo hold, and Su Hang and Lorne found twelve unregistered children hidden behind the grain sacks.

Su Hang and Lorne discovered twelve children hidden aboard the Morning Bell Caravan ship and uncovered evidence linking their trafficking to Graystone Port's military supply depot. They decided to keep the children safe and use the fake medicine-crate handover to draw the recipient aboard, while Marines from the 16th Branch waited at the port.

• Su Hang and Lorne found twelve children and Alan in a hidden compartment, and Alan explained how survivors from Grey Stone Island had been trafficked.
• Lorne ordered the children treated, while Su Hang found a slip linking their numbered tags to a Graystone Port military supply depot seal and a factory mark.
• Su Hang rejected the system's offer to convert the slip into an intelligence module and chose to preserve it as evidence.
• Su Hang, Mia, and Lorne planned to disguise empty crates and lure the recipient aboard, while Alan warned them that the 16th Branch's pier had a Seastone inspection gate.
• Mia uncovered a second seal identifying the 16th Branch, and Lorne saw Marines and a military supply depot flag waiting at the rear pier.

Marine Major Qi Hai uncovered evidence that the 16th Branch was trafficking twelve children and refused the branch chief’s order to execute them. He disarmed himself rather than obey, but the branch chief sealed the harbor and aimed its guns at the grain ship.

• Qi Hai opened a shipment crate, found a child’s bloodstained tag, and discovered twelve children hidden aboard the Morning Bell Caravan.
• When the quartermaster pulled a gun and accused the children of being pirate kin, Qi Hai disarmed and arrested him, while Su Hang supplied the original manifest linking the children to the branch warehouse.
• Alan identified the Black Gear Workshop as the cargo’s destination, and Qi Hai ordered the docks sealed and the warehouse and Marine waterway searched.
• The branch chief ordered the children and caravan executed, but Qi Hai refused, gave up his sidearm, and faced his Marines down without letting them raise their guns.
• The harbor gates closed and gun emplacements targeted the grain ship as the branch chief threatened to sink it.

Su Hang diverted Colonel Hawk’s cannon fire away from the children’s ship while Qi Hai seized the signal tower and Lorne exposed records implicating the Marines in trafficking children. Hawk then threatened to ignite a western warehouse where prisoners and witnesses were trapped, forcing Su Hang to choose between stopping him and saving those inside.

• Su Hang used his elastic body to redirect all three cannonballs into an empty warehouse, leaving the grain ship and its children unharmed.
• Qi Hai led twelve Marines to seize the signal tower, cut the barrage flag, and stop the cannon orders from being relayed.
• Hawk ordered Seastone scattershot fired at Su Hang, and a fragment weakened him as he escaped into an alley.
• Lorne had the Morning Bell Caravan post military supply records around the harbor, and merchants recognized the documents as genuine.
• Hawk ignited the western warehouse’s ignition lamps and threatened to burn the prisoners, witnesses, and ledgers inside if Su Hang intervened.

Su Hang, Qi Hai, Alan, and Mia rescued forty-seven laborers from Hawk’s warehouse and stopped the explosives from destroying them. Hawk was captured with evidence of the trafficking operation, while Qi Hai refused Su Hang’s offer to join his ship and remained committed to the navy.

• Mia identified the warehouse holding the captives, and Su Hang drew guards away from the entrance while Qi Hai and Alan entered through the harbor waterway.
• Qi Hai and Alan learned that forty-seven laborers were held in the eastern dungeon and discovered that Hawk controlled a backup fuse.
• Su Hang disabled the main fuse, but Hawk ignited the backup; Qi Hai cut its fuse, and Su Hang shielded the powder keg from the blast while preventing the larger kegs from exploding.
• Alan led the forty-seven laborers out through the waterway, while Mia and Su Hang stopped Hawk from escaping and captured him.
• Alan found a booklet bearing the Black Gear Insignia, and Su Hang arranged for Hawk and the evidence to be guarded jointly and copied for distribution.
