Chapter Summaries

Charlotte Cracker, Daifuku, Oven, and Snack sailed with a Biscuit Soldier army toward the Mogaro Kingdom to confront Dawn. Dawn waited at the docks while Morgans hid nearby, thrilled to capture the coming clash.

• Cracker complained that Daifuku had joined the fleet against Mom's orders and insisted that no one interfere in his fight with Dawn.
• Daifuku warned Oven not to let his hatred for Dawn cloud his judgment, recalling Oven's earlier failure to kill him in West Blue.
• Oven said he had only lost before because Dawn used underhanded tricks and vowed to kill him to erase his humiliation.
• Snack silently watched the Mogaro Kingdom and suspected the mission would be difficult.
• Dawn calmly waited at the Mogaro Kingdom's docks with four women as Morgans prepared to photograph the Charlotte Family's arrival.

Dawn confronted the Charlotte Family fleet with Reiju, Baby 5, Stussy, and Monet, then erased all ten warships with a colossal tsunami. The four Charlotte brothers survived inside Cracker’s biscuit shield and realized Dawn’s power rivaled Charlotte Linlin’s.

• Monet worried that Dawn had brought too few people to face the Charlotte Family, but Dawn said they did not need reinforcements and expected Reiju and Baby 5 to prove themselves.
• Snack, Oven, and Cracker saw Dawn waiting with four women and dismissed them, then ordered the fleet to charge the harbor.
• Dawn unleashed gravity that formed a towering tsunami and smashed all ten warships and their Biscuit Soldiers.
• Cracker protected himself and his three brothers inside an Armament Haki-coated biscuit sphere, and the four recognized Dawn as a monster who could rival Mama.

Dawn captured Oven, Daifuku, Snack, and their brothers, then made Oven and Daifuku fight Reiju, Mo, Baby 5, and Stussy. The fight exposed the gap between the women’s Haki and the Charlotte brothers’, leaving their sparring limits unresolved.

• Dawn shattered the biscuit sphere, pulled the Charlotte brothers onto the dock, and pinned them with gravity and Armament Haki.
• Dawn freed Oven and Daifuku and challenged them to defeat the four women or be sent back to Whole Cake Island bound.
• Oven and Daifuku attacked, forcing Reiju and Mo to evade a massive genie slash while Baby 5 blocked Oven’s flaming strike and was driven back.
• Stussy used her Shadow-Shadow Fruit to attack Oven from behind, but his Observation and Armament Haki stopped her blade.
• The narration explained that the women’s Haki lagged behind the Charlotte brothers’ and that sparring could not replicate the life-or-death conditions needed to advance it.

Monet, Reiju, Baby 5, and Stussy endured a twenty-six-hour battle and defeated Oven and Daifuku, growing stronger through the fight. Dawn kept Cracker and Snack restrained as the trial ended with both Charlotte Family officers down.

• Cracker and Snack tried to persuade Dawn to let them join the fight, but he bound them with dark tentacles that suppressed their Haki and Devil Fruit abilities.

• Monet drained Oven's blood and shocked him with electricity while Reiju poisoned an old wound, leaving him unable to maintain his Armament Haki.
• Stussy blocked the Lamp Genie's attack as Baby 5 struck Daifuku with an axe, badly wounding him and causing the Genie to disperse.
• The twenty-six-hour battle ended with the four women defeating Oven and Daifuku.

After the four women defeated Oven and Daifuku at Mogaro Port, CP0 tried to capture Dawn’s companions by raiding David's Revenge. Enel’s lightning failed to stop them, but Shiryu attacked after Law sent him into the sky, leaving the CP0 agents wounded and falling.

• Shiryu’s wind blades pierced CP0’s defenses, leaving the agents wounded and plummeting toward the ground.

Shiryu confronted Maffey of the God's Knights and began fighting her after her regenerative ability let her survive his attack. At Mogaro Kingdom Port, Dawn let four exhausted women eat and rest before continuing their fight against the bound Sweet Commanders Cracker and Snack.

• Shiryu sensed a powerful presence in Dressrosa and struck at it with a massive wind blade, which Maffey countered with a golden laser.
• Maffey revealed herself as a God's Knight, and she and Shiryu exchanged attacks in the air.
• Shiryu sliced Maffey into pieces, but she regenerated, prompting him to attack again to hone his swordsmanship.
• Dawn summoned food and drinks for the four women after their day-and-night battle and told them to recover for further training.
• Cracker and Snack protested that Dawn was letting the women rest before making them fight the Sweet Commanders.

After resting, Monet, Baby 5, Reiju, and Stussy resumed Dawn’s trial against the Sweet Commanders Cracker and Snack. The fighters clashed at the harbor, where Snack overwhelmed Monet and Baby 5’s defense while Cracker’s Haki-coated shield resisted Reiju and Stussy’s attacks.

• Monet held Snack off while Baby 5 circled behind him to attack, and neither woman retreated.
• Reiju’s poison failed to penetrate Cracker’s Haki-coated biscuit shield, while Stussy’s Shadow Blades left only shallow marks.

• Cracker created dozens of Biscuit Soldiers and sent them charging at the four women, while Snack withdrew to check on Oven and Daifuku.
• Stussy smashed some soldiers, but Cracker rapidly reassembled them, and Reiju, Monet, and Baby 5 could not break through their Haki-coated defenses.

After three days and nights of fighting, Stussy, Monet, Reiju, and Baby 5 greatly improved their Armament Haki and began cutting down Cracker’s Biscuit Soldiers. Just as Cracker panicked and summoned more soldiers, Baby 5 charged alone into their encirclement.

Saint Killingham, Black Maria, Shamrock, and Aramaki fought in a stalemate against Dawn’s officers at Dressrosa, where the citizens remained trapped in a supernatural sleep. Aramaki repeatedly destroyed the immortal Saint Somaz but could not keep him dead, leaving him frustrated as the battle continued.

• Aramaki’s Haki-covered thorns overpowered Somaz’s attack and shredded him again, but Somaz revived, leaving Aramaki helpless and frustrated.

• Dawn’s arrival frightened Saint Somaz and Shamrock, who used a magic circle to teleport away before he could attack.

Charlotte Linlin punished her sons after their defeat by Dawn’s crew, stripping Snack of his Dessert Commander position and taking years from the four fighters’ lives. Three days later, Morgans’s newspaper announced the Four Emperors and named Davy D. Dawn among them, destabilizing Big Mom’s influence.

• Cracker described how Dawn’s forces destroyed their fleet and defeated Cracker, Snack, Oven, and Daifuku.
• Charlotte Linlin berated the four men, stripped Snack of his Dessert Commander position, and extracted part of their lifespans.
• Three days later, Morgans published a report introducing the Four Emperors: Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Beast Kaido, BIG MOM Charlotte Linlin, and Dark Emperor Davy D. Dawn.
• Kingdoms and pirate crews began questioning their ties to the Big Mom Pirates, and some contacted Dawn’s commercial channels about changing allegiance.

Whitebeard, Kaido, and Ochoku reacted to Dawn’s rise as one of the Four Emperors, each responding according to his own ties and ambitions. Whitebeard declared war on Dawn’s crew, while Ochoku ordered a rapid expansion to prove he deserved the title.

The Five Elders and Saint Figarland Garling discussed how Dawn’s rise as a Four Emperor threatened the World Government and approved Saint Saturn’s plan to provoke a war between Dawn and Whitebeard. They ordered the CP division and scientific unit to carry it out without leaving evidence.

• Saint Nusjuro, Saint Mars, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, and Saint Warcury described how Dawn had disrupted tribute payments, the New World’s balance of power, intelligence networks, and food shipments.
• The World Government leaders rejected a direct military assault, deploying God’s Knights, and assassination as too risky or ineffective.
• Saint Saturn proposed using his venom and a Copy-Copy Fruit agent to frame Reiju for slaughtering a town in Whitebeard’s territory.
• Saint Garling warned that similar venom would not be enough to convince Whitebeard, so Saint Saturn outlined a scheme to copy Vinsmoke Judge and then Reiju, creating apparent witnesses and proof.
• Saint Nusjuro, Saint Warcury, Saint Mars, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, and Saint Garling approved the plan, and Saint Warcury ordered the CP division and scientific unit to execute it without leaving a trace.

Dawn considered how the World Government could use Dressrosa and Alabasta as hostages if it learned of his ties to them, then decided to let Franky test his new creation on Aplunan Island. The Franky Shogun launched toward the island to attack its defenses.

• Dawn reflected on why Violet, Scarlett, and Vivi had to conceal their identities and why he avoided publicly supporting their countries.
