• Saint Saturn appointed Sengoku Fleet Admiral but refused to provide additional military funds until the next year’s Celestial Gold was collected.

• Li Yuan decided to wait for the Roger Pirates at an island on the edge of the Limitless Sea and called for Bullet and Hermes to join him.

Roger confirmed that the Poneglyph taken from Charlotte Linlin recorded a Road Poneglyph and decided to seek the remaining clues in Wano Country. Li Yuan summoned the Roger Pirates to Herberth Island and demanded powerful Devil Fruits in exchange for the Poneglyph in his possession.

• An Ohara Scholar verified that Charlotte Linlin's Poneglyph matched the one from the Mink Tribe and identified Wano Country as a likely place to find another Road Poneglyph.

• During Zephyr’s field training on Besco Island, Munis searched for a hidden Devil Fruit and ate the Logia-type Steam-Steam Fruit before the trainees attacked the Spark Pirates.

• Golden Lion learned the Roger Pirates had departed the Limitless Pirates and ordered the Flying Pirates to assemble for an attack, hoping to obtain the secret of the Ancient Weapons.

They arrived at the family’s base on Escobar Island and announced that the Limitless Pirates wanted to meet its leader.

• News of the Roger Pirates’ draw with the Flying Pirates spread, and Whitebeard told his crew they would need to grow stronger before challenging a Legendary Pirate Crew.
• Li Yuan concluded that Golden Lion had avoided his original fate, declared his ambition to become World King, and promised Shakky she would be Queen of the World.
• Shakky told Li Yuan that the Capone Family had intercepted a weapons shipment and possessed the Castle Fruit, so they decided to visit the family themselves.
