Chapter Summaries

Leo demonstrated that the Revolutionary Army’s Artificial Devil Fruits worked, as soldiers gained Zoan transformations in front of reporters. The reporters began preparing stories about the fruits, but Morgans stopped them from filing their copy.

• The soldiers swallowed Artificial Devil Fruits and reacted to their revolting taste.
• Leo’s plan to make controllable Devil Fruits widely available challenged the advantages held by people with access to rare fruits and information.
• More than two hundred soldiers transformed into falcons, over one hundred into wild bulls, and more than eighty into wolves.
• The reporters photographed the transformed soldiers and began working out what to write.
• Morgans stopped the reporters from filing their copy.

The World Economic Journal delayed publishing photos of the Revolutionary Army’s beastmen until the transformation could be verified. A month later, 226 Falcon Fruit users began a worldwide publicity and delivery mission, leaving Jaya Island behind and arriving in Alabasta to deliver Devil Fruits to Koza.

• The Chief Editor agreed to hold the article until the Revolutionary Army could provide convincing proof that its soldiers had transformed into beastmen.
• After a month, reporters photographed the Revolutionary Army’s Falcon Fruit users as they prepared to deliver Devil Fruits to branches around the world.
• The 226 fliers departed Drum Island in groups of three and flew toward Jaya Island in formation.
• The fliers swooped over Jaya Island and its harbor, startling Katakuri and the Sweets Pirates, who had been cut off from the world for two months.
• After publicizing their presence, the first group crossed the sea to Alabasta and arrived before Koza with Devil Fruits to deliver.

Falcon Fruit Users delivered Wolf Form Dog-Dog and Bison Form Ox-Ox Artificial Devil Fruits from Leo to Koza in Alabasta. Koza offered the Wolf Fruit to Bell on the condition that he do his job well, while planning how to use both fruits.

• Revolutionary Army Falcon Fruit Users flew over Jaya Island, drawing alarm from civilians and envy from snipers who had not qualified to eat Zoan Devil Fruits.
• The Falcon Fruit Users flew from Drum Island to Alabasta and delivered two Artificial Devil Fruits to Koza on Leo’s orders.
• The falcon captain told Koza that Leo wanted the fruits given to trusted people working on the front lines rather than someone handling office documents.
• The Falcon Fruit Users saluted Koza and departed after the captain signaled them with a whistle.
• Bell approached Koza about the Devil Fruit he had previously surrendered, and Koza offered him the Wolf Form Dog-Dog Fruit if he did his job well.

The Revolutionary Army's Falcon Squad used a month of training to develop flight formations, combat tactics, and plans for mastering partial Zoan transformations. At the Red Line, the flock split up for different seas, while Moria and Marigold continued excavating tunnels that helped people enter the Grand Line.

• The Falcon Squad flew out of Koza, using their bird instincts to navigate and avoid dangerous weather as they traveled in groups.
• The Falcon users developed dive-bombing attacks and learned V and diamond formations to conserve stamina on long flights.
• Leo guided the Falcon users toward mastering Zoan wavelengths and partial transformations for more versatile combat.
• At the Red Line, the group of more than two hundred divided to head for their assigned seas, and the East Blue captain delivered a Bison-Bison Fruit to the stationed soldiers.
• Moria and Marigold continued digging the Red Line tunnels together, finding fulfillment in the routes people used to reach the Grand Line.

The Revolutionary Army’s opening of the Red Line made travel and trade easier, drawing merchants to a new island marketplace and encouraging exploration of other seas. A Falcon-Falcon Ability User Squad staged an air raid drill at the base, where the arriving bird-men revealed themselves as Headquarters comrades testing the Revolutionary Army’s air defenses.

• The opened Red Line created new trade routes, and merchants gathered at the Revolutionary Army’s island marketplace to exchange goods, information, and sea charts.
• Some merchants sought new routes and markets in other seas as trade on the Grand Line became increasingly crowded.
• The Falcon-Falcon Ability User Squad launched an air raid drill to expose the Revolutionary Army’s lack of anti-air defenses.
• Revolutionary Army personnel rushed to the base’s main building and discovered the bird-men had transformed into comrades wearing Revolutionary Army uniforms.
• Local Revolutionary Army members questioned the squad, while the more than forty comrades from East Blue prepared to record local customs, charts, winds, and climate.

A year after defeating the Marines, the Revolutionary Army had stoked revolutions across the world, nearly ended piracy, and built the strength to confront the New World’s remaining Four Emperors. Its soldiers gathered before Jaya Island, awaiting Commander-in-Chief Leo’s order to begin the campaign.

• The Revolutionary Army supported popular uprisings against the nobility, intervening with warships and soldiers when local forces could not prevail.
• The Revolutionary Army offered most pirates amnesty after a year of labor reform, while tightening security around its camps following an attack in the Kingdom of Goa.
• The Revolutionary Army announced it could manufacture Artificial Devil Fruits and sent more than two hundred Falcon-Falcon Fruit users to support forces in the Four Seas.
• The Revolutionary Army Navy equipped nearly every warship with a Falcon-Falcon Fruit user, enabling it to detect and pursue pirates until piracy nearly vanished from the seas.
• The Revolutionary Army assembled an army to target the remnants of the Four Emperors and gathered before Jaya Island, waiting for Leo’s permission to go to war.

Leo freed Sengoku, Garp, and the other Marines who had refused to join the Revolutionary Army, then urged them to help end the remaining piracy. He explained that the Revolutionary Army had largely ended the pirate scourge by overthrowing governments and improving people’s livelihoods, leaving the old Marines to decide what to do next.

• Leo told Sengoku and the other Marine officers that they were free, since the Revolutionary Army could not absorb them and no longer wanted to spend people guarding them.
• Leo invited the Marines to join the campaign against the remaining great pirates, while Garp mocked his claim that he could end piracy.
• Sengoku asked whether the pirate scourge had truly ended, and Leo said governments had mostly been overthrown and people no longer needed to go to sea to survive.
• Leo explained that improved livelihoods, pirate retirement arrangements, and amnesty had reduced the flow of new pirates, leaving the remaining Grand Line pirates without new recruits.
• Leo contrasted the Revolutionary Army’s efforts to improve people’s lives with the Marines’ failure to address the poverty that drove people into piracy.

Sengoku ordered the former Marines to surrender to the Revolutionary Army, and Aokiji, Kizaru, and the officers accepted the transfer of authority. At the expedition assembly, Leo addressed the Revolutionary Army’s troops and prepared to announce its advance into the New World.

• Sengoku ordered the Marines to surrender to the Revolutionary Army and follow it, believing this was the only responsible future for his men.
• Aokiji and Kizaru saluted Sengoku, and the other Marine officers followed, formalizing the handover of military authority.
• Three days later, former Marine Admirals and Vice Admirals gathered in Revolutionary Army uniforms for an oath-taking assembly before the New World expedition.
• World Economic Journal reporters focused on the expedition and its unknown first target rather than the former Marines joining the Revolutionary Army.
• Leo addressed more than one hundred thousand soldiers, praised their work, and highlighted the reform of over three hundred thousand pirate prisoners and the plan to train new recruits.

Leo launched the Revolutionary Army’s colossal island fortress, New World Annihilation, with one hundred thousand people aboard as it departed Jaya Island. As the Revolutionary Army began its campaign to cleanse the seas, Sengoku chose to find work and travel the world to see whether Leo’s claim that no pirates remained was true.

• Leo declared the start of the New World Annihilation campaign and ordered the island fortress to set sail.
• The Revolutionary Army’s hundred thousand personnel took their assigned positions across the island and its fleet of warships.
• The ships and island engines propelled New World Annihilation away from Jaya Island at more than twenty knots.
• Sengoku watched the fortress depart, then decided to find a job, save money, and travel the world to verify Leo’s claim that no pirates remained.

The Revolutionary Army learned to coordinate the New World Annihilation, an enormous island linked to warships, and traveled from Jaya Island to the Kingdom of Dressrosa. Leo warned the Falcon Fruit Users to keep the hidden Little People's Country secret as they began scouting the area.

• The Revolutionary Army linked the New World Annihilation to its warships and used Den Den Mushi to coordinate the crews under Sabo's command.
• Kizaru, Aokiji, and former Marine Vice Admirals worked in the power division, manually generating electricity for the fleet.
• Sabo and the command room helped the Revolutionary Army master the vessel's controls in less than a day, with Zoan Devil Fruit Users helping power the ships and island.
• The Revolutionary Army crossed the Sabaody Archipelago and reached the Kingdom of Dressrosa by sunset.
• Leo warned the Falcon Fruit Users not to reveal the Little People's Country, and they agreed before spreading out to scout.

Leo’s Revolutionary Army left Jaya Island aboard the New World Annihilation, while Falcon Fruit users kept watch over the nearby seas and discovered Small Human Tribe members living near Dressrosa. The army began its first morning aboard the new warship, and the difficulties of feeding and organizing one hundred thousand soldiers emerged.

• Falcon Fruit users discovered Small Human Tribe members near Dressrosa and decided the tribe would be safe under Revolutionary Army control without being disturbed.
• Leo speculated that the Small Humans might eventually fall behind humans as industrialization increased material wealth, risking conflict between the two groups.
• Falcon-Falcon Fruit users maintained surveillance in four six-hour shifts as the Revolutionary Army slept aboard the New World Annihilation.
• The Revolutionary Army woke, drilled, ate breakfast, and changed shifts, adjusting to the new ship’s comfortable living quarters.
• The army struggled to organize its morning routine, as more than five thousand people had to prepare food for one hundred thousand soldiers across ten cafeterias.

The Revolutionary Army struggled to feed and supply its more than one hundred thousand soldiers, even with Katakuri directing the mess halls. After the cooks failed to deliver every packed meal on time, Leo gathered them for a review meeting to identify and fix the problems.

• The Revolutionary Army organized its cooks and cafeterias to feed more than one hundred thousand soldiers before their morning drills.
• Katakuri led five thousand cooks and his siblings in preparing breakfast, then received an order to make one hundred thousand meals and deliver fifty thousand portions across the island before three.
• Katakuri directed ten thousand additional soldiers to help, but logistical problems kept tens of thousands of meals from reaching every post on time.
• Katakuri took responsibility for the failure when Leo arrived at the mess hall after dinner.
• Leo reassured Katakuri and called a review meeting with the mess hall department heads.

Leo introduced a review meeting where the Revolutionary Army’s cooking squad supervisors could identify problems and solve them together rather than fear punishment for honest failures. Cracker raised communication difficulties, and the meeting ended with Koby tentatively suggesting that the work be divided more precisely.

• Leo explained that the supervisors should discuss problems they encountered while preparing food and work together on solutions.
• Katakuri asked whether they would be held accountable, and Leo said responsibility belonged to leaders when orders failed despite everyone’s efforts.
• Cracker identified poor communication as a major problem because workers could not hear or relay orders once cooking began.
• The supervisors raised their hands to confirm that they had faced the same communication difficulties.
• Leo asked for solutions, and Koby cautiously suggested dividing the work more precisely.

Leo held a review of the Revolutionary Army’s food preparations, where Koby and Cracker proposed ways to simplify planning and cooking for the large force. The meeting ended with Katakuri unsettled as his siblings enthusiastically took ownership of the Revolutionary Army’s logistics.

• Leo encouraged Koby to speak up, and Koby suggested using each day’s food consumption to plan the next day’s preparations.
• The cooking squad accepted Koby’s suggestion without a vote.
• Cracker proposed cutting down the number of dishes, and Leo approved the idea of planning a simple menu in advance.
• Leo urged the cooks to maintain nutritional balance with meat and vegetables while simplifying the meals.
• Cracker and his siblings eagerly joined the logistics discussion, leaving Katakuri wondering why they acted as if the Revolutionary Army belonged to them.

Katakuri questioned his siblings and Revolutionary Army soldiers to understand why they had spoken so openly at Leo’s meeting, and learned that they felt safer and more at home in the Revolutionary Army than they had in the Big Mom Pirates. The next day, the cafeteria’s service changed as the Revolutionary Army prepared to enter the Sweets Pirates’ territory.

• Katakuri questioned Cracker about why he had spoken up at the meeting, and Cracker said he trusted the Revolutionary Army not to punish him for criticism.
• Cracker told Katakuri that the Revolutionary Army’s hierarchy was strict but its atmosphere was relaxed compared with a pirate crew.
• Katakuri asked his siblings about the Revolutionary Army, and his sisters explained that its respect for women and sense of belonging differed from Big Mom’s personal privilege.
• Katakuri asked Revolutionary Army soldiers what they thought of the army, and they said they treated it as their home and believed criticism helped improve it.
• The next day, the cafeteria served fewer kinds of dishes but increased meal frequency and serving speed as the army prepared to enter the Sweets Pirates’ territory.

As the Revolutionary Army watched the New World’s power vacuum, the Supernovas seized territory while Doflamingo quietly built influence. The Sweets Pirates were being squeezed toward collapse, and the Revolutionary Army waited for Katakuri to decide whether to bring the remaining siblings to join them.

• The Supernovas allied and attacked the weakened Sweets Pirates, while Little Edward struck Whitebeard’s remaining followers.
• Doflamingo took control of Gecko Moria and built a network of pirate puppets, avoiding the Revolutionary Army as he expanded.
• The Supernovas gathered strength and continued attacking the former territories of Big Mom, Kaido, and Whitebeard.
• Perospero struggled to defend the Sweets Pirates alone after Katakuri and a group of siblings joined the Revolutionary Army.
• The Revolutionary Army applied pressure to Perospero’s remaining forces and waited for Katakuri to answer whether he would persuade his siblings to join.

Perospero panicked as the Revolutionary Army threatened the Sweets Pirates, and Katakuri came alone to urge his siblings to surrender. Katakuri laid out the Revolutionary Army’s overwhelming strength, leaving the Sweets Pirates facing the war already underway.

• Perospero’s panic spread fear among the Sweets Pirates as they awaited the Revolutionary Army’s attack.
• Konpe announced Katakuri had arrived alone, and the siblings felt relieved that he had not come to punish them.
• Katakuri told Perospero he had come to make the Sweets Pirates surrender to the Revolutionary Army.
• Perospero accused Katakuri of betraying Big Mom, but Katakuri silenced him and described the Revolutionary Army’s vast forces and weapons.
• Katakuri warned that the war had begun and urged his brothers and sisters to surrender as Revolutionary Army Falcon Fruit Users surrounded them.

Katakuri urged the Sweets Pirates to surrender to the Revolutionary Army, explaining that only the death penalty was guaranteed to be spared and that the rest would face judicial judgment. Perospero remained furious and suspicious, while Daifuku and the others accepted surrender after Katakuri promised they would stand by their family.

• Katakuri revealed that the Revolutionary Army had grown powerful while the Big Mom Pirates' intelligence network had collapsed, leaving the Sweets Pirates with little chance of resisting.
• Perospero asked what would happen if they surrendered, and Katakuri said the Commander would spare them from execution but leave their sentences to the judges.
• Katakuri explained that he had become a colonel after serving his sentence, but Perospero doubted his account and accused him of refusing to help his siblings.
• Daifuku asked what the Revolutionary Army would do if they refused to surrender, and Katakuri answered that he would stay and die with them.
• Daifuku and the other siblings agreed to surrender, moved by Katakuri's pledge to visit and support them while they served their sentences.

Katakuri persuaded the Sweets Pirates to surrender to the Revolutionary Army, which struggled to manage the hundred thousand prisoners while securing Totto Land. The Revolutionary Army’s rapid takeover drove the Supernova Alliance and the Joker Pirates to leave for Whitebeard Pirates territory.

• Katakuri’s willingness to die convinced the Sweets Pirates to follow his orders and surrender en masse to the Revolutionary Army.
• The Revolutionary Army began processing and imprisoning the surrendered pirates, separating men and women and placing Big Mom’s most dangerous children in Seastone cells.
• The Revolutionary Army stayed in Totto Land to handle supplies, announce the surrender, and suppress Supernova crews attacking the islands.
• Revolutionary Army warships killed the Supernova pirates sent to seize territory, and the Supernovas learned that Totto Land had changed hands.
• The Supernova Alliance and the Joker Pirates weighed anchor and headed toward Whitebeard Pirates territory.

The Revolutionary Army sent reinforcements from Jaya Island to help secure Totto Land, while its takeover and reconstruction strained its resources. The World Economic Journal then presented Katakuri as the hero behind Totto Land’s peaceful unification, setting him up for a rise in the Revolutionary Army.

• The Revolutionary Army took control of Totto Land and accepted the surrender of the Sweets Pirates, but had to keep its people under its care while rebuilding the region.
• Leo ordered forces training on Jaya Island, including former prisoners who had joined the Revolutionary Army, to sail for the New World aboard Prison Island.
• The inexperienced force of fifty thousand veterans and one hundred thousand recruits struggled to operate the island, while merchants worried about the sudden deployment and tried to uncover its cause.
• The Revolutionary Army’s World Economic Journal reported that Totto Land had been unified without bloodshed and portrayed Katakuri as a key hero.
• The article recounted Katakuri’s past and his prison sentence, publishing photographs of him enduring hard labor that convinced the public he had genuinely served his time.
