• Wald's Brutal Fate: The crew, led by Bullet, turns its attention to the unconscious World Destroyer Wald, who was defeated in the previous battle.

Wald doesn't even get to wake up; Bullet brutally stomps his head to death, crushing it under his boot.
• Transfer to Shiryu: Teach, lamenting internally that he himself had to "absorb that shitty Rubber-Rubber Fruit," goes through with the extraction. He pulls the invisible mass of the More-More Fruit from Wald's corpse and slams it into Shiryu's chest with a swirling hand of black energy. Shiryu receives the power.
• Testing the New Power: Shiryu wastes no time testing his new abilities. He first demonstrates incredible speed, teleporting across several hundred meters in an instant. Then he shows the multiplication power by expanding his cursed blade (Raiu) a hundredfold until it towers over a hundred meters long. Finally, he dives into the deep sea outside Fish-Man Island and unleashes "Hundredfold Speed: One-Sword Shura" against the abyssal pressure, showcasing his destructive potential.

He says, "I feel great. Better than ever before," indicating that he is fully embracing his new strength and role in the crew.

He acts as the intimidating decision-maker of the group, asserting his dominance over what happens with the Devil Fruit.
• Teach (Blackbeard): Shows a rare moment of deep frustration and envy. He's visibly dejected about having to transfer a powerful fruit to Shiryu while being stuck with a fruit he considers inferior. His selfish, resentful nature is fully displayed.

3. Significant Themes

• The Commodification of Power: The chapter highlights how Devil Fruit abilities—which the Marines and pirates alike treat as precious, one-of-a-kind treasures—can be casually harvested and given away, breaking the established world order and making the Demon God Pirates a terrifying force.
• Brutality and Ruthlessness: Bullet's casual, brutal execution of Wald demonstrates the uncaring, cutthroat nature of the pirate world. There is no mercy for the defeated—only the harvest of their strength.
• Ambition and Jealousy: Even within the same crew, there's a clear hierarchy of desire. Teach's visible envy shows that power is never enough, and the members of the crew are constantly seeking advancement and superiority.
