Arc 23The Great Pirate Amnesty
Leo used an amnesty campaign and the exposure of retired pirates’ grim fates to draw pirates into surrendering and joining the Revolutionary Army’s labor reforms. As Katakuri and the Sweets Pirates entered prison, Leo’s researchers revealed a major breakthrough in creating Artificial Devil Fruits.
- Jinbe defeated Kid and Bege, and the Revolutionary Army sent them to Jurassic Island to herd dinosaurs, where they met Jewelry Bonney and learned to earn necessities through work.
- Leo recruited Sakazuki and many other former Marines, then explained that the Revolutionary Army was building its strength on Jaya Island while preparing for larger conflicts.
- After an investigation found no surveyed pirates had retired peacefully, Leo publicized the dangers facing former pirates and offered amnesty and labor reform to those who surrendered.
- Lewinsky and other pirates accepted the amnesty, while Katakuri chose to surrender his Sweets Pirates faction so his younger siblings could have a safer future.
- Katakuri brought fifty thousand pirates to surrender, and Leo accepted them before sending the crew to prison and having Kuma extract their Devil Fruits.
- Katakuri and the Big Mom Pirates began organized labor on Jaya Island, while Sabo took Leo and other leaders to Drum Island after researchers reported a breakthrough.
- Chopper showed Leo rows of Artificial Devil Fruits made by his research team, and Leo asked how their effects compared with genuine Devil Fruits.
