• Beasts Pirates ships and their allies fled, and the pirate force scattered under the Marines’ offensive.

Kaido fought the three Admirals but escaped before they could capture him, leaving the Marines without a decisive victory. As he searched for his scattered fleet, Whitebeard’s ship appeared, and Kizaru fled rather than face two Four Emperors.

• Garp stopped pursuing credit and suppressed King and Queen while Kaido battled the three Admirals.
• Kaido endured the Admirals’ attacks and eventually flew east to escape, with Kizaru pursuing him.

• Kaido spotted a warship bearing Whitebeard’s crescent-hook sail, and Kizaru recognized it and vanished from the sea.

Whitebeard learned how Kaido and Orochi had disgraced and killed Oden Kozuki, so he led the Whitebeard Pirates to confront the Beasts Pirates. He arrived after the battle had ended and attacked the fleeing Kaido, leaving their clash poised to begin.

Leo explained the Marines’ propaganda campaign and his tacit agreement with Sengoku, arguing that the Revolutionary Army should use its time to grow stronger and prepare worldwide revolutions. He left his comrades with a call to build support among the masses and prepare to ignite revolutions in every nation.

• Leo and his comrades read a Marine bulletin that claimed Whitebeard’s achievements as the Marines’ own, and they condemned the deception.

• Leo revealed that he and Sengoku had tacitly agreed to let both sides operate Live Bugs in Magic Valley City, while each side gambled on becoming stronger.
• Leo told his comrades that the Revolutionary Army sought to liberate the entire world and did not need to rush because time and support within the Marines were on their side.
• Leo urged the group to build high walls, stockpile grain, bide their time, and prepare revolutions in every nation.

Leo’s letter argued that the Revolutionary Army’s justice centered on ordinary people, while the Navy served the World Government and nobles under the pretext of fighting pirates. Circulated beyond the organization through Morgans’s News Bird network, the letter drew outside readers toward Leo’s views and sharpened their awareness of exploitation.

• Leo rebutted claims that the Navy’s fight against pirates made it inherently just, citing the Ohara massacre and the Navy’s service to the World Government.
• Leo defined the Revolutionary Army’s purpose as protecting people equally and addressing the exploitation that drove ordinary people toward piracy.
• Leo urged comrades to study, stay alert to the Navy’s control of public discourse, and identify the revolution’s true enemies and allies.
• The Revolutionary Army circulated Leo’s letter internally, and Morgans’s News Bird network accidentally distributed copies to the public.
• Readers outside the Revolutionary Army became supporters of Leo’s argument and questioned the nobles’ right to take most of ordinary people’s earnings.

The World Government struggled to replace the World Economic Journal after Morgans defected, while the Revolutionary Army’s publications captured readers’ attention. In Magic Valley City, Leo confiscated land from merchants who had fled before the battle, then profited as they and outside merchants competed to rent it; the Revolutionary Army’s finances grew flush.

• Morgans’s defection left the World Government without the World Economic Journal’s global distribution network, and its Marine-delivered World News struggled against the Revolutionary Army’s publications.
• Leo took over the land in Magic Valley City after merchants abandoned it before the battle, forcing returning landlords to compete with newcomers for the right to use their former property.
• Merchants returned to Magic Valley City because the Revolutionary Army’s rebuilding efforts promised profits and the city offered reliable laws, low corruption, and protection from pirates.
• The Revolutionary Army collected substantial rental income as former landowners and outside merchants bid for the island’s assets, boosting its finances without spending its stored gold.

Leo showed the group how Magic Valley City's growing safety and industry were improving life, then took them to see Franky's enormous electric elevator. The elevator carried them upward toward the shipyard, leaving Leo amazed by Franky's unconventional design.

• Magic Valley City became safer and more prosperous, drawing merchants who valued its order and protection.
• Leo explained to Revolutionary Army cadres how salt production and affordable salt could improve ordinary people's strength and ability to resist oppression.
• Leo led the group past the salt fields and seawall to the shipyard, where Franky had built a huge elevator powered by Enel's batteries and human labor.
• Leo and the others boarded the elevator and rode upward as Leo wondered how Franky had made the strange design work.

Leo observed the Revolutionary Army’s farming-based labor and ideological reform on Jaya Island, where prisoners learned to cultivate fields and saw Shandian farmers defeat them using Devil Fruits. The second group of Marines and captured pirates remained under guard and continued their reform, while Leo reflected that the prison had become a paradise for farming.

• The Revolutionary Army assigned prisoners to cultivate Jaya Island’s reclaimed fields in exchange for work points, using the labor to change their attitudes toward ordinary people and farming.
• The Revolutionary Army paired prisoners with Shandian warriors and had farmers use Devil Fruits to defeat them, demonstrating that strength could change and did not justify exploitation.
• The first batch of reformed Marines graduated, while a second batch and powerful pirates captured from the prison’s fifth and sixth levels began their education.
• Enel publicly executed Vasco Jot after he attempted to escape and murder someone, while the other pirates stayed quiet under close guard and Observation Haki surveillance.
• Leo watched the prisoners work cheerfully in the fields and considered the Sky Island prison a paradise for farming.

Leo and his group passed through the Revolutionary Army’s farming and workshop areas on Sky Island, where captured pirates worked and young Shandians and Sky Islanders produced wind guns. The chapter left the island’s workshops established as a major arms-production base, with trained workers and standardized weapons being shipped around the world.

• Leo’s group passed famous prisoners Carter Devon, Patrick Redfield, and Douglas Bullet as they worked the fields.
• The chapter recounted how Bullet lost fights against Revolutionary Army fighters and stayed on Sky Island after Leo urged him to pursue strength without relying on a Devil Fruit.
• Leo’s group reached the light-weapons workshops, where young Shandians and Sky Islanders processed barrels, ammunition, and wind dials.
• The workshops produced standardized wind guns in large quantities and packed them for transport around the world.

The Revolutionary Army used its new weapons and intelligence network to strengthen its forces and prepare to purge members who trafficked weapons. Leo’s reforms had grown into a system that could respond to problems without constant direction from its leaders.

• The Revolutionary Army stamped and numbered its air guns and traced any weapons that appeared on the Black Market to identify leaks.
• Crow became the crow breeder, deputy director of the Intelligence Department, and director of the Fifth Intelligence Bureau, which targeted traitors and profiteers.
• The Revolutionary Army formed rapid-response squads with specialized combat roles and trained members to fight in coordinated small formations.
• The Revolutionary Army equipped headquarters warships with lightweight Impact Dial-powered air cannons, while its manual discouraged grassroots forces from attempting direct sieges.
• Leo and the other leaders shifted from intervening in every matter to supervising the Revolutionary Army’s systems.

Leo and the others climbed to Sky Island’s third layer to see Enel’s new flagship, the Ark Maxim, a sleek vessel built by Franky that could fly, sail, and travel underwater. Enel showed off the ship and brought the group aboard as its cabin sealed shut.

• Leo asked whether Enel had arrived as he and the others climbed the enormous vine toward Sky Island’s third layer.
• Leo and the group found Enel waiting beside the Ark Maxim, which Franky had built as a sleek vessel capable of traveling through the sky, sea, and underwater.
• Enel circled the ship in lightning and proudly presented it as his new flagship.
• Enel opened the ship’s entrance with an electrical surge, and Leo led the group inside to inspect the cabin.
• Enel entered last, and the cabin lifted and sealed itself, leaving no trace of the entrance.

Leo showed Nico Robin the importance of teaching children the ancient script, then inspected the Revolutionary Army’s heavily armed, high-speed warship. Enel activated the colossal vessel, and it prepared to set sail.

• Leo asked Nico Robin to teach talented children how to read the ancient script, and she agreed.

• Leo ordered Enel to start the ship, and Enel powered it up with electricity.

Leo and the others flew to Drum Island aboard Enel’s electrically powered battleship-plane, marveling at its speed and considering a new use for aircraft in the Calm Belt. As they neared the island, Enel made the craft plunge, leaving Leo to realize he had forgotten to install seat belts and parachutes.

• Leo told Enel to take the battleship-plane to Drum Island, where Leo had not visited in a long time.
• The Revolutionary Army’s influence had expanded across several islands, and Leo had established Purge and Support Teams to keep its branches in check.
• Enel powered up the craft and accelerated it into the sky, forcing everyone back into their seats.
• Leo considered whether the Calm Belt could be an ideal place for a Caspian Sea Monster-style aircraft to operate.
• The craft reached Drum Island in minutes, and Issho marveled at its speed as the island’s lighthouses came into view.
• Enel made the aircraft plunge, and Leo yelled as he realized Franky had installed neither seat belts nor parachutes.

Leo and his comrades arrived at Drum Island, where Hancock had used the Snow-Snow Fruit to master the island’s blizzards and improve her survival in battle. Leo brought Dragon, Issho, and the others to the mountain’s research center, where experiments were nearing major results and needed protection.

• Enel landed the Ark Maxim roughly at Wapol’s former palace, now the entrance to Drum Island’s mountain city.
• Hancock appeared from the snow, embraced Leo, and told him nothing was wrong as he asked about the island.
• Leo reflected on how Hancock’s Snow-Snow Fruit had strengthened her Observation Haki and made her more likely to survive top-tier battles.
• Leo led his comrades through the mountain city toward its central research facilities.
• Leo explained that Doctor 20, Trafalgar Law, Ivankov, and other researchers had advanced their experiments and that the facilities needed powerful people stationed there.

Leo visited Trafalgar Law’s medical research facility, where Law and the Revolutionary Army had advanced their understanding of Devil Fruits but reached a research bottleneck. The chapter ended with Law calling for more samples and data to study the three distinct Devil Fruit types.

• Leo and Hancock entered the medical facility by elevator and were transported into its sterile operating room by Trafalgar Law’s Op-Op Fruit.
• Trafalgar Law explained how his surgical abilities helped doctors train and described how his time on Drum Island had strengthened his medical knowledge.
• Leo greeted Chopper, who said he had reached Level 9 Internist and Level 8 Surgeon.
• Leo asked Trafalgar Law about Devil Fruit research, and Law said the work had stalled for lack of samples and data.
• Trafalgar Law explained that Zoan, Logia, and Paramecia Fruits were fundamentally different, alarming the people gathered behind Leo.

Trafalgar Law theorized that Zoan Devil Fruits and their abilities could be artificially manufactured, and warned Leo not to eat any more Devil Fruits. Leo promised to send him rare Mythical Zoans for study, then set course with the others for the Red Line to inspect the Grand Canal under construction.

• Trafalgar Law explained his theory that Devil Fruit abilities, especially Zoan powers, could be artificially created through experiments and genetic-drug carriers.
• Jinbe asked about Mythical Zoans, and Law speculated that some might combine Zoan traits with Logia elements.
• Trafalgar Law warned Leo not to eat any more Devil Fruits, fearing what his research might imply.
• Leo told Trafalgar Law that the Nine-Tails Fox Fruit would soon arrive for study and that they might also obtain the Yamata no Orochi Fruit.
• Leo directed Enel to take the Ark Maxim underwater toward the Red Line and the Grand Canal.

Leo and the Revolutionary Army used powerful Devil Fruit abilities to cut passages through the Red Line and connect the Four Seas, undermining the World Government’s enforced isolation. Hancock reunited with Marigold at the construction site.

• Leo assigned Inazuma, Marigold, and Moria to create deep-water harbors and passages through the Red Line.
• Moria used the Push-Push Fruit to make a broad tunnel for ordinary people and freight wagons.
• Franky told the workers that his master could have built a railway and run a Sea Train through all Four Seas.
• Leo promised Moria that the Four Seas would one day be connected and asked where Marigold and Inazuma were working.
• Marigold emerged from the earth and embraced Hancock, who had missed her sister.

Leo greeted Franky during a reunion, then discussed how the World Government used its power to justify exploiting non-member nations. He learned that Wano Country had descended into war after Kaido vanished, but the causes and factions remained unclear.

• Leo greeted Franky through the Live Bug and reflected on the Revolutionary Army’s technological advantages.
• Leo considered how the World Government and Navy enabled member nations to plunder non-member countries.
• Leo called Terry to ask about intelligence on Kaido and Wano Country.
• Terry reported that Kaido had not returned to Wano Country since Whitebeard wounded him, and that Doflamingo had taken him away.
• Terry told Leo that Kaido’s forces under the Three Calamities were fighting Wano Country’s shogun while other restoration forces intervened, leaving the country in chaos.

Leo set out for Wano Country after learning that the Intelligence Department had failed to report vital information about the Four Emperors' forces. After Hancock left for Drum Island, Leo and his companions reached Wano, where they prepared to descend into the violent fighting below.

• Leo ordered Enel to prepare the Ark Maxim and told Hancock, Moria, and the others that he was leaving.
• Leo asked Enel to fly past Drum Island so Hancock could remain there as a Logia guardian; she descended to the royal palace and decided to reveal a secret to Leo later.
• Enel flew the Ark Maxim at supersonic speed toward Wano Country, reaching it after about two hours.
• Enel sensed that samurai and pirates were fighting throughout Wano and confirmed that Doflamingo was not there.
• Leo told Enel to take them down into Wano Country.

With Kaido absent and Wano Country divided among the Kozuki samurai, Kurozumi Orochi, and the Beasts Pirates, King tried to stabilize his side by making Yamato its acting leader. Onigashima suddenly shook as Yamato ran outside to investigate.

• Ashura Doji freed prisoners from Udon and rallied samurai across Wano Country, prompting Kurozumi Orochi to deploy his forces and summon Jack.
• Fukurokuju persuaded Kurozumi Orochi to turn against the Beasts Pirates, and Wano samurai ambushed Jack before wiping out the pirates left behind.
• King rescued Jack, defended Onigashima, and kept the Dragon Gate open so Queen's defeated forces could return, leaving the sides in a stalemate across Wano Country.
• After news spread that Whitebeard had severely wounded Kaido, King proposed making Yamato acting leader of the Beasts Pirates to steady the group.
• Yamato complained about the Seastone handcuffs on her wrists, but a sudden violent shake of Onigashima interrupted King and sent her running outside.

Leo and the Revolutionary Army confronted the Beasts Pirates, with Leo urging them to leave Kaido and join his cause. Issho’s devastating attack wounded King, Queen, and Jack, and he introduced himself as a Revolutionary Army Vice Admiral.

• Yamato and King rushed to the entrance, where they found Leo and four other Revolutionary Army members surrounded by Beasts Pirates.
• Leo called on the pirates to abandon their lives under Kaido and devote their strength to a more meaningful cause.
• King charged Leo, joined by Queen in Brachiosaurus form and Jack in mammoth form.
• Issho unleashed a gravity-powered slash that knocked Jack unconscious, nearly severed Queen’s head, and cut off half of King’s wing.
• Leo praised Issho’s swordsmanship, and Issho credited Leo’s guidance before introducing himself as the Revolutionary Army Vice Admiral.

Leo used Issho’s overwhelming sword strike to show the Beasts Pirates the strength they could have achieved through proper training, then urged them to join the Revolutionary Army. Yamato immediately accepted, leaving the other pirates stunned.

• Issho severely wounded the Three Calamities with a single slash that warped space-time through gravity.
• Leo explained that Issho’s strength came from genius, the right training, and a powerful Devil Fruit, then criticized the pirates for neglecting their growth.
• Leo warned the pirates that many aging pirates disappeared or retired, and that counterfeit Devil Fruit side effects could leave them with a grim future.
• Leo invited the Beasts Pirates to join the Revolutionary Army, promising better training, talent development, and retirement support.
• Yamato shouted that she wanted to join the Revolutionary Army, astonishing everyone by surrendering first.
