• Bon Clay, Joseph, Johnny, and Baru gathered Baroque Works' agents, who brought food and wine for the gathering.

Leo told Baroque Works' agents that Whiskey Peak would become Kuma's territory and that they would become Kuma's subordinates. He announced that their organization would be replaced by a salaried, trained regular army, leaving the agents to consider their new role.

• Leo and Enel realized they had not tracked the vulture and mole, but Leo decided their escape did not matter because Crocodile would avoid Baroque Works now that he knew who was present.

Leo settled the former Baroque Works agents into his organization and introduced them to his officers. As the group celebrated at Whiskey Peak, the villagers from Cocoyasi Village arrived, and Leo anticipated further reinforcements from the Revolutionary Army.

Kuma and Ivankov restored Zoro and helped Leo begin dangerous training, as Kuma also started experimenting with extracting Buggy’s Devil Fruit ability.

• Leo organized the Baroque Works agents into groups to make bullets, rifle stocks, and firearms, while Enel and Ace processed the metal parts.

• Leo began planning intense self-destructive training with Kuma and Ivankov’s help, while Kuma practiced using his Paw-Paw Fruit to extract Buggy’s Devil Fruit ability into another fruit.

Leo and Enel built and test-fired a light cannon, whose pointed shell flew farther than expected. Enel measured its range at 9.4 kilometers, and he and Leo began building an even larger cannon.

• Leo assigned Enel to make cannons, and Enel used his Lightning Metallurgy to produce the parts for a simple light cannon.
• Leo and Enel argued over who would fire their cannon first, so Nico Robin pulled the firing-pin cord herself.

• Enel followed the shell as a bolt of lightning and measured its range at 9.4 kilometers.
• Enel and Leo celebrated the result and started making a second, larger cannon while Nico Robin watched in exasperation.

• Dragon used a hurricane to move the several-ton 200-millimeter cannon from the ship to land.
• Leo realized that large humans like William, Sandersonia, and Marigold could carry lighter cannons as individual weapons.

Leo prepared the Revolutionary Army’s first congress at Whiskey Peak, aiming to unify its leadership and set its strategy while building a network across the Grand Line. He also advanced weapons research with Kuma as a benchmark, seeking firepower that could overturn the Navy’s naval advantage.

• Sabo contacted the Four Seas commanders Betty, Moria, Lindbergh, and Crow, who agreed to prepare their forces.
• The Revolutionary Army’s forces began converging on Whiskey Peak.

• Dragon reflected on the Revolutionary Army’s stagnation and saw Leo as a possible successor who could lead it into the future.
• Dragon made the gathering a test: if Leo succeeded, he would accept the merger of their groups.

• Leo introduced Ace, Enel, Nico Robin, and his other officers, revealing that his group had formidable fighting strength.
• Sabo wondered why Dragon and the others seemed willing to accept Leo’s group, then asked who Smoker and Hina were and why they were there.

Leo introduced Smoker and Hina as Marine representatives at a Revolutionary Army meeting, then presented an anonymous questionnaire to learn the members’ views and guide the army’s future. Sabo realized the questions were meant to reveal their beliefs, and he hesitated over how to answer the first one.

• Nico Robin distributed the test papers and pencils with her Flower-Flower Fruit, while her arms tracked the answers for a live tally on a blackboard.
• Sabo read the first question, “What do you think revolution is?”, and realized it was designed to expose the members’ beliefs rather than test for a correct answer.

Leo’s exam forced the Revolutionary Army to confront divisions in its beliefs and clarify what it was fighting for. After finishing, Hina and Smoker were left more confused than before and looked to Leo for answers.

• Sabo noticed that Revolutionary Army members were divided almost evenly among their answers, suggesting their movement contained ideological factions.

• Hina and Smoker grew more uncertain about justice, the Revolutionary Army, and pirates, then looked to Leo for answers.

Leo used the assembly’s survey results to challenge the Revolutionary Army’s assumptions about fish-men and argue that their revolution must liberate every race. His speech won the crowd’s applause and left Smoker and Hina questioning how the Marines differed from the Revolutionary Army.

• Leo explained how distance and unfamiliarity could fuel discrimination, prompting Hachi to reconsider his anger.
• Leo asked who oppressed fish-men and declared that the Revolutionary Army would liberate the entire world, including every race.
• Hachi, Moria, Hina, Sabo, Betty, and the other members applauded and cheered for Leo.
• Smoker and Hina admitted that Leo’s words felt true and wondered what distinguished the Marines from the Revolutionary Army.

Leo urged the Revolutionary Army officers to unite around a shared ideology, explaining that unity did not mean killing dissenters or turning comrades into robots. He began the public discussion by asking what revolution was, then shifted to the question of what class meant.

• After the officers relaxed, Leo said they needed to reach consensus and move in step as a unified team.
• Leo argued that the Revolutionary Army's ideology was its greatest advantage over the Navy and called for unity without slaughtering dissenters or brainwashing comrades.

• Leo asked what revolution was, offering several possible definitions before moving on to ask what class meant.

Leo explained to the Revolutionary Army that class oppression made the World Government’s system evil and that revolution was necessary to end it. After the officers embraced his argument, he declared that the Marines were one of them, leaving Smoker, Hina, and the Revolutionary Army stunned as he prepared to explain.

• Leo argued that justice required overturning the system that produced exploitation and crime, and the Revolutionary Army officers shouted their approval.
• Smoker and Hina understood Leo’s argument about systemic evil and imagined how it could undermine Marines who believed in Absolute Justice.
• The Revolutionary Army officers calmed down and began to feel like a unified collective.
• Leo asked what the Marines were and answered that they were one of the Revolutionary Army, shocking everyone before he began to explain.

Leo explained to the Revolutionary Army that many Marines were potential allies whose belief in justice conflicted with their actions. He urged the officers to win them over and turn them into revolutionaries, leaving Smoker and Hina deeply shaken by his argument.

• Leo told the Revolutionary Army officers that Marines were lost allies and that fighting them constantly wasted the revolution’s strength.
• Leo explained that Marine extremists such as Akainu justified mass killings and tolerating the Celestial Dragons through the idea of the greater good.
• Leo argued that extremists grew more violent as they strayed further from their own ideals of justice.
• Leo said that once Marines learned the truth of revolution, they could question their actions, correct themselves, and join the Revolutionary Army.
• Leo urged the officers to win over, infiltrate, and turn potential Marine allies into their strength, and they looked more kindly at Smoker and Hina.

Leo taught the Revolutionary Army how to approach pirates during a revolution, insisting they distinguish each pirate’s strength and conduct rather than kill indiscriminately. His defense of impartial law and individual rights moved Nico Robin and the others, and Sabo understood why Dragon had sent them there.

• Leo asked how the Revolutionary Army should deal with the many groups it would encounter, and Clara answered that they should win over everyone they could.
• Leo told the Revolutionary Army to assess pirates’ strength and determine whether they were criminals, righteous outlaws, or harmless adventurers.
• When officers doubted such adventurers existed, Leo condemned indiscriminate killing and warned that the revolution must not replace the Celestial Dragons with new tyrants.

• The Revolutionary Army members cried as they reflected on being treated as people, and Sabo told Ivankov he understood why Dragon had sent them there.
