Arc 1The Droplet and Gran Tesoro
Lynn used the Droplet to assert his power over the Marines and the Celestial Dragons, forcing the Gorosei to restore the Figarland Family’s assets and fund his research. He then seized Gran Tesoro and transformed it into a technological territory with a new laboratory and tower.
- Lynn built the Droplet on a deserted island, and it proved fast and durable enough to overwhelm Gion and challenge Kizaru.
- After learning that the Roswald Family had taken the Figarland Family’s assets, Lynn returned to Mary Geoise and beat Saint Charlos while the Droplet fought off Jean Bart and Kong.
- The Gorosei restored Lynn’s property, gave him additional affiliated nations, and agreed to fund three Droplets, a new laboratory, and ten thousand workers in exchange for his technology.
- Lynn chose to target Gild Tesoro’s wealth and resources, while Doflamingo and Monkey D. Dragon ordered their people to investigate him.
- Blackbeard and Burgess tried to stage a rescue involving Lynn, but the Droplet knocked Burgess unconscious and Teach fled with him.
- Lynn arrived at Gran Tesoro and declared it his territory, then made Saint Charlos confirm by phone that he had no objection.
- Lynn forced Tesoro to submit and provide gold, then had the Marines demolish and rebuild Gran Tesoro as a technological territory with a laboratory and tower.
