In Dunkirk, eight-year-old Aeneas learned that the Donquixote Family had taken over after the Dunhold Family was condemned, and discovered that he had transmigrated into the body of a boy reported dead. After receiving Roger’s Conqueror’s Destiny and a mysterious Devil Fruit through a Lottery System, Aeneas resolved to fulfill the original Aeneas’s final wishes but remained uncertain about his future in the North Blue.
