Chapter Summaries

Mark accepted Crocus’s warning about the Dark-Dark Fruit’s power to steal abilities, then received a Log Pose and sailed with Daisy and Chiu Chiu to Solomon Shipyard. Their storm-damaged ship arrived there, and a shipwright who was Jerry’s disciple offered to take them to his master.

• Crocus guided Mark toward Solomon Shipyard and explained that the Dark-Dark Fruit could seize other people’s powers and had once empowered a dangerous pirate crew.
• Mark insisted that he would use the fruit’s strength to pursue his ambitions, and Crocus hoped he would not repeat the fate of its previous user.
• Crocus gave Mark an old Log Pose after Mark remembered he had forgotten to ask for one.
• Mark, Daisy, and Chiu Chiu reached Solomon Shipyard after a hailstorm battered the Moss with holes.
• A middle-aged shipwright recognized Mark’s interest in Jerry, confirmed that Jerry was his master, and led the group into Solomon Island.

Mark and his companions met Master Jerry at Solomon Shipyard and asked him to build them a ship. Mark chose the best ship Jerry could make, but the enormous price prompted Chiu Chiu to protest.

• Baroen led Mark and his companions to Master Jerry’s estate, where they met Housen, Jerry’s true disciple.

• Mark asked Jerry to build the best ship to protect his companions at sea.
• Jerry quoted 1.2 billion Beli for materials and another 100 million for labor, and Chiu Chiu angrily challenged the labor cost.

Mark agreed to pay Jerry 1.3 billion Beli to build a ship based on Jerry’s model, which could escape natural disasters and fire powerful compressed-air cannons. With only 500 million available upfront, Mark offered his old pirate ship and kept several cannons, but Baroen explained that even the Adam Wood main beam would cost over 700 million.

• Chiu Chiu insulted Jerry’s labor fee, and Housen threatened the bird before Mark intervened and warned Housen not to insult his companion.
• Jerry explained the cost and timeline for building a top-tier ship, then showed Mark a three-masted model and demonstrated its defenses against simulated disasters.
• Mark accepted the design and agreed to pay 1.3 billion Beli, while Jerry said he would use Adam Wood and premium ironwood for the ship.
• Mark said he could pay 500 million upfront and offered his pirate ship, keeping its thirty-two-pound cannon and four twenty-four-pound cannons.
• Baroen explained that the Adam Wood main beam alone cost more than 700 million, though Jerry’s supplier connections could secure enough additional materials.

Mark arranged to begin rebuilding his pirate ship despite lacking the full payment, then sailed toward the Wind-Snow Twin Islands to raise the remaining money. Meanwhile, Mihawk and Whitebeard saw Mark’s updated bounty poster, and Whitebeard recognized him as the descendant of an old acquaintance.

A worldwide bounty update revealed Mark of the Moss Pirates as a 16-year-old Supernova with a 120-million-Beli bounty, drawing attention from Whitebeard's crew, Doflamingo, and pirates across the seas. Teach secretly struggled with the news that Mark had eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit, while the chapter ended with Wind Island tavern patrons reacting in disbelief to Mark's bounty.
