Chapter Summaries

Lucci slaughtered the crew of a slave ship instead of gathering supplies, and Dawn reprimanded him for abandoning the mission. Dawn recovered the ship’s valuables, including the Supreme Grade Twelve sword Gambler's Fireline, and began identifying a Devil Fruit.

• Lucci killed everyone aboard, including the captives in the ship’s hold, while neglecting to collect supplies.
• Dawn appeared, gave Lucci zero points for the mission, and criticized him for letting his bloodlust distract him from the objective.
• Lucci returned to the cabin to collect valuables, while Dawn searched the deck and found the Supreme Grade Twelve sword Gambler's Fireline hidden in a cane.
• Dawn gathered the ship’s remaining valuables, then compared the Devil Fruit with the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

Dawn found the Press-Press Fruit aboard the ship and ate it, revealing that he could survive consuming two Devil Fruits. He left with Lucci, while Issho arrived later and discovered the slaughtered crew.

Dawn returned to Hadebein Island and reassured Stella after she learned he had eaten a second Devil Fruit. Meanwhile, four West Blue underworld powers met to decide how to respond to Dawn’s seizure of Hadebein Island.

• On Panlenia Island, Vincent, Liliana, Magadino, and Becky gathered to discuss Dawn and Hadebein Island.
• Magadino asked Becky whether they should keep probing the island or launch a joint all-out assault.

Liliana, Vincent, and Magadino agreed to place a bounty on Dawn instead of joining forces, and the killing plot spread through the Underworld. At Piekro’s assassin brokerage, the new 300-million-Beli bounty on Dawn attracted assassins who dismissed him as easy prey.

• Becky rejected an alliance and left the meeting, while Liliana proposed putting a bounty on Dawn.

• Robin, Kalifa, and Stussy eavesdropped outside the hall and reacted with disgust when Dawn declared himself devoted to every woman.

Three Underworld killers prepared to ambush Dawn at Hadebein Island’s mine, but his shadow clone overheard their plan. Dawn sent Stella to capture them and decided to organize a search of the island in case more enemies had infiltrated.

• Three killers watched the miners at night and debated whether to lure Dawn into a trap, ultimately deciding to plant tripwires, bear traps, and explosives.
• Dawn listened to the killers through a shadow clone and suspected that the five great families had placed a bounty on him.
• Dawn woke Stella and ordered her to deal with the killers while leaving at least one alive for interrogation.
• Dawn worried that other enemies might have entered the island and decided to wake the others for an island-wide search.

Dawn alerted Kaku, Kalifa, Robin, and Stussy that intruders had infiltrated the island, and they set out to search for them. At the mining area, White Fox ambushed three assassins and killed them with her claws and a fireball.

After the assassins on Hadebein Island were eliminated, Stella used her fox abilities to extract information identifying Gamenio, a former Whitebeard Pirates member with the Copy-Copy Fruit, as the strongest hunter pursuing Dawn. Dawn consulted the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, learned the limits of Gamenio’s copying ability, and reassured the group as they prepared for the coming fight.

• Dawn killed the unconscious assassin and warned the group that Gamenio might have copied Whitebeard’s abilities.
• Dawn found the Copy-Copy Fruit entry in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and learned that Gamenio could store up to three copied abilities but could use only one at a time, and that copied abilities had to be developed from scratch.
• Dawn explained the fruit’s limitations to the group, easing their fears about facing Gamenio.

Dawn confronted the Fire Tank Pirates’ ship, the Nostra Castello, as it charged toward his manor and stopped it with his bare hands. Capone Bege ordered the ship to keep pushing, leaving Dawn locked in a fierce struggle against its engines.

• Stella supported Dawn when he stumbled, and he told her he was exhausted but would recover after resting.
• Dawn told Stussy that he had deliberately fought at close range to make a possible Gamenio disguised as a miner misjudge his abilities.
• Dawn, Stussy, Kalifa, and Robin agreed that they would take turns fighting future attackers while revealing only part of their abilities.

Gamenio infiltrated Dawn’s miners to study his abilities, then murdered the real Daz’s wife and child and disguised himself as Daz to lure Dawn to the crime scene. Dawn noticed inconsistencies in the miner’s account but concealed his suspicion and went along, leaving the confrontation poised to begin.

• Gamenio, disguised as a miner, observed Dawn and assessed his combat abilities while hiding his true intentions.

• Disguised as Daz, Gamenio begged Dawn to avenge his murdered family and recounted the scene in suspicious detail.
• Dawn recognized that something was wrong but pretended to be outraged and followed Gamenio toward the scene.

• Gamenio withstood Stella’s Flame, but Kaku, Kalifa, and Stussy combined their Rankyaku to knock him into a boulder.
• Gamenio unleashed Air Quake shockwaves, injuring most of Dawn’s companions while Stella and Robin avoided the worst of the attack.

• Gamenio’s diamond arm cracked and shattered, causing him severe pain and leaving a bleeding stump.
• Gamenio changed forms and used azure flames to regenerate his arm within seconds.

• Kaku ate the entire fruit despite its awful taste and transformed his fingers into blades.
• Kaku sliced a stone axe cleanly with one blade-finger, then hurried outside to train with his new ability.

After defeating the Capone Family, Dawn dismissed the idea of taking over its nonexistent businesses and told the women to continue training while they awaited Lucci’s intelligence on the Four Families. With Gamenio no longer a threat, Dawn began dangerous gravity training as everyone at the manor worked to strengthen their abilities.

• Dawn told Kalifa that the Capone Family had no worthwhile businesses, only its ship and remaining supplies and weapons.
• Dawn instructed Kalifa, Stussy, Stella, and Robin to train while they waited for Lucci to return with intelligence on the Four Families.

After Lucci returned from gathering intelligence, Dawn rewarded him with the Copy-Copy Fruit and tested its ability by having him copy three Devil Fruit powers. The test succeeded, leaving Lucci able to use three copied abilities while Dawn recovered the fruits.

• Dawn gave the Munch-Munch Fruit and Door-Door Fruit to the other two pirates, had Lucci copy their abilities, then killed them and recovered both fruits.
• The onlookers stared at the corpses, while Dawn defended the exchange as a gain because Lucci had acquired three abilities and he had recovered all three fruits.

Lucci challenged Dawn after learning to use the Copy-Copy Fruit, and Dawn chose to fight him without relying on the Yami Yami no Mi. Dawn trapped them both in a powerful Gravity Field, where Lucci transformed into a leopard and met Dawn in a brutal fistfight.
