Oak brought Tsuru to Sky Island, secretly hoping to find the Cause-and-Effect Fruit or clues to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

• Linlin ordered her intelligence agents to watch the Holy Land and Marineford as she prepared to deal with Ochoku.

Oak and Tsuru arrived at Sky God Island, where Oak searched for Urouge to help him locate the Cause-and-Effect Fruit. They found the nine-year-old Urouge fighting in a black-market arena, and Tsuru recognized his exceptional strength.

• Oak and Tsuru found Urouge in an arena, where the nine-year-old knocked out an adult opponent with one punch.
• Tsuru praised Urouge's strength and wondered why Oak had sought him out.

Oak followed young Urouge in hopes of finding the Cause-and-Effect Fruit, then hid nearby to watch him. The chapter ended with Urouge secretly eating an offering fruit in the Buddha hall as Oak watched from above.

• Urouge won the black-market arena match, collected his prizes, and hid them in a cellar outside the temple.

Oak investigated Birka to find clues about Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and Maxim, discovering that the islanders had driven wingless Enel and his father to the outskirts.

• An elder activated a flame mechanism in his cane and engulfed Oak in fire.

Oak found blueprints for the Ark Maxim instead of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, then returned with Tsuru to Hachinosu, where former Rocks Pirates gathered to attack Ochoku.

• Newgate asked where Kaido was, and Linlin said he had set out first but vanished, prompting Newgate to fear he had entered Hachinosu alone.

• Oak endured Garp and Sengoku’s Conqueror’s Haki-infused attack without being injured, then enlarged his body and struck them with Karmic Retribution.

• Oak escaped Garp and Sengoku and appeared beside Newgate’s group, where Kaido had Ochoku bound beneath his foot.
• Oak drank Ochoku’s blood and turned the weakened man into his vampire Blood Servant.
• Oak realized the captured Ochoku was a clone, and Ochoku explained that a clone made with half his blood could match the original’s strength but would leave him severely weakened if it was killed.

Oak used Ochoku’s blood clone to track his true body while sending Newgate, Shiki, Linlin, and Kaido away from Hachinosu. Oak, Ochoku, and Garling’s forces entered a three-way pursuit, which ended with Oak finding Ochoku’s fleet and crushing the clone.

• Oak learned that controlling Ochoku’s blood clone let him locate Ochoku’s true body, then told Newgate and the others to leave Hachinosu because the God’s Knights were on the island.
