Chapter Summaries

Gawain announced a martial arts tournament whose prize was an Eternal Pose to Laugh Tale, stirring pirates and alarming the World Government. As Big Mom and Kaido considered the challenge and Gawain’s strength, the Five Elders decided to send Rob Lucci to sound him out.

• A World Economic Journal report announced Gawain’s third World’s Number One Martial Arts Tournament and its Eternal Pose prize, prompting pirates across the seas to speculate about the route to Raftel.
• Rayleigh suspected Bullet had made the Eternal Pose, while Luffy continued training under Gaban on Sabaody Archipelago and Rayleigh considered the tournament a chance for him to test himself.
• Big Mom mourned Katakuri’s rebellion on the ruined Whole Cake Island, and Kaido told her that Gawain had nearly killed him in their battle.
• Kaido declared that he would enter Gawain’s tournament, while Big Mom and Kaido discussed the threat the Eternal Pose posed to the World Government.
• The Five Elders reacted furiously to Gawain’s announcement and chose Rob Lucci to approach him, despite concerns about his reliability.

The Five Elders suspected Rob Lucci had been turned by Knight Gawain and weighed the danger of his infiltration. Meanwhile, Crocodile recruited Katakuri into the Cross Guild, and the world prepared for Knight Gawain’s martial arts tournament and its Eternal Pose prize as a shocking bounty disrupted Britannia’s calm.

• Saint Ethanbaron told Saint Mars and Saint Nusjuro that Rob Lucci might have been planted as a spy by Knight Gawain, while Saint Mars said Knight Gawain’s attitude mattered more than temporary chaos.
• Smoker confirmed the Beasts Pirates’ pursuers had left, and Katakuri’s displaced family looked to him for a new destination after their losses at Whole Cake Island.
• Katakuri chose Hachinosu Island as a refuge, but Crocodile and Daz Bones arrived and Crocodile’s clash with Katakuri’s Haki ended without a fight.
• Crocodile proposed an alliance to overthrow the World Government, and Katakuri accepted a place as a Pillar-level Combatant of the Cross Guild.
• Crocodile revealed the Cross Guild would place bounties on Marines and Knight Gawain, while news spread that the tournament in three months would award an Eternal Pose to Raftel.
• Kid, Hawkins, Apoo, Urouge, and Straw Hat prepared for the tournament, while a staggering bounty broke Britannia’s calm.

Gawain and Kuro weighed the World Government’s response to Britannia as Lucci returned in CP0 attire, while Gawain proposed sending him back with a way to escape if danger arose. After Zoro defeated Lucci in the arena, Buena Festa watched Britannia’s fighters head off to train and turned his attention back to planning the tournament.

• Gawain examined the Cross Guild’s bounty posters and found that it had placed a ten-billion-Berry bounty on him, while Kuro had a two-billion-Berry bounty.
• Lucci returned to Britannia in a CP0 uniform, prompting Gawain and Kuro to suspect that the World Government had uncovered his cover and was testing their response.
• Gawain reasoned that the World Government was unlikely to start an outright war and proposed sending Lucci back, with Conqueror’s Haki and Bevel’s portal available to help him escape.
• Zoro defeated Lucci after their fierce arena battle, and both fighters left together after helping each other to their feet.
• Buena Festa and Bullet discussed the strength and potential of Britannia’s fighters, while Bullet went to train and Zoro and Lucci also headed toward the training grounds.
• Buena Festa dismissed his concern that the fighters were training despite their injuries and returned to planning the World’s Number One Martial Arts Tournament.

Lucci agreed to return to the World Government as Gawain’s agent, and Gawain equipped him with stored Haki and a portal coin to protect him. The Five Elders interpreted Lucci’s return as Gawain backing down, while preparing to test the Seraphim and confronting the Cross Guild’s bounties; in Britannia, Bullet resumed his grueling training and vowed not to waste his potential.

• Lucci told Gawain that he would return to the World Government to buy time, and Gawain gave him Haki-charged coins and a coin that could open a portal to Britannia.

• Sanji recovered from his injuries by forcefully restoring his twisted limbs, and Kuro explained that Sanji was a modified human with exceptional vitality.
• Bullet challenged the Knights of the Round Table and charged Akin, who blocked his punch before activating his Three Bones—Six Sky Demon King form.

Bullet fought Akin and overwhelmed him, drawing Zoro, Law, Sanji, and Bevel into the battle. Zoro cut through Bullet’s Medium Bullet form, and Sanji followed by melting through its shell to reach Bullet’s control room.

• Law and Zoro argued over their rankings and nearly challenged each other before Bullet blasted Akin into the valley wall.
• Sanji, Zoro, Law, and Bevel joined Akin in attacking Bullet, who formed his more agile Medium Bullet combat form.

• Kuro realized Zoro might have awakened Conqueror’s Haki as Bullet reassembled his armor and urged the fighters to show their limits.
• Sanji revealed the purple flames of his perfected Lineage Factor and melted through Bullet’s shell into the control room.

Bullet fought the Knights of the Round Table for three days and three nights, then learned from Kuro that Gawain’s extraordinary growth made him a goal that could always be pursued. After receiving medicinal soup and expecting the exhausted fighters to rest, Bullet discovered that they had already resumed training in the mountains.

• Bullet drank the bitter medicine and decided to check whether the others were truly training the next morning.
• Bullet found the training ground empty, then followed the sounds of fighting to a mountain platform where the Knights were training and Smoker was sparring with Bepo and Chopper.

Bullet repeatedly sparred with the Knights of the Round Table, whose rapid recovery and growth surprised him, and gradually began to see Britannia as a place where he belonged. By the end, Gawain discovered that Bullet had sincerely joined the crew, leaving him bewildered by how quickly the team’s training culture had won Bullet over.

• Bullet questioned how Akin, Zoro, and Sanji had recovered so quickly, and Kuro told him that surpassing their limits brought strength and rapid healing.

• After days of being pressed into exhausting sparring matches, Bullet began to feel at home among the Knights and woke eager to train again with Akin.
• Gawain found Bullet’s name on the Experience Piggy Bank’s distribution list and learned from Kuro that Bullet had bonded with the team through sparring.
• Gawain realized that the Captain System’s competitive training culture had led Bullet to sincerely submit to him within days.

• Buena Festa berated the tournament organizers, then told Jango he had committed himself to Gawain and agreed to speak privately with Bullet about staying with Britannia.

Sabo and Ivankov returned from Britannias convinced that Gawain’s country offered the Revolutionary Army a model of lasting order, while Dragon and Vegapunk confronted their disagreement over Ancient Weapons and the revolution’s future. Sabo’s praise challenged Dragon’s belief that Britannia’s prosperity depended only on Gawain’s strength.

• Sabo and Ivankov left Britannias after witnessing its improving laws, prosperity, and tolerance, and resolved to tell Dragon about it.
• Dragon learned that Ivankov, Sabo, Sentomaru, and the former Impel Down companions were safe, then again asked Vegapunk to assist the Revolutionary Army.
• Vegapunk refused to help create an Ancient Weapon because it could drown the world, and Dragon angrily dismissed Britannias as a false prosperity before Vegapunk left.
• The next morning, Vegapunk returned and urged Dragon to pause and study Britannias, offering to help create an Ancient Weapon only if the country proved no answer.
• Sabo and Ivankov returned and described Britannias as a law-abiding utopia without kings, nobles, or slaves, where okama were not discriminated against.
• Dragon argued Britannia would collapse if Gawain fell, but Sabo replied that Britannia might already be working to endure without him.

Dragon learned that Britannia's inland sea was the scar left by an Ancient Weapon and set out for the country after Vegapunk abandoned the Revolutionary Army. Tesoro joined Gawain's Knights of the Round Table, while Gawain prepared to give Franky the Munch-Munch Fruit.

• Sabo showed Dragon photographs of Britannia's enormous Ancient Weapon scars, convincing him that the Revolutionary Army needed power to oppose the World Government's weapons.
• Vegapunk's recorded message warned that a war between Ancient Weapons could sink the world, and Dragon decided to follow him to Britannia with Sabo, Ivankov, and trusted subordinates.
• Vegapunk and Sentomaru sailed toward Britannia, and Sentomaru described it as a country full of hope where Gawain and Kuro were trustworthy people.
• Gawain welcomed Tesoro into the Knights of the Round Table in eleventh place and placed Bullet twelfth, as Bullet's arrival provoked the other fighters.
• Tesoro watched his new crewmates train and fight, then began dragging a pirate ship across the beach as he grew stronger and more muscular.
• Gawain gave Franky the Munch-Munch Fruit that Tesoro had recently obtained.

Franky ate the Munch-Munch Fruit and demonstrated that he could merge with ships, giving Gawain a way to build Pluton with Franky as its helmsman. The shipwrights advanced Pluton’s construction with Franky Memory Alloy and Bullet’s help, but failed to harness ley line energy; Vegapunk then arrived in Britannia.

• Franky ate the Munch-Munch Fruit, transformed into a ship after swallowing a damaged vessel, and learned that Gawain intended for him to merge with Pluton.
• Gawain’s shipwrights, led by Barry, examined Franky Memory Alloy, while Bullet offered to produce as much of the material as Pluton required.
• Franky and the shipwrights identified Pluton’s energy supply as their remaining major obstacle and decided to keep experimenting with ley line energy.
• Franky’s attempts to control ley line energy failed, and Gawain concluded that they needed experts to solve the problem.
• Vegapunk arrived at a port in Britannia, where a companion told him that the country was ahead and that rice balls were plentiful there.

Sentomaru showed Vegapunk the welfare system and prosperity of Britannia, convincing him that Gawain’s people could protect them from the World Government. In Camelot, Vegapunk confronted the devastation caused by an Ancient Weapon and met Robin, who brought him into Britannia’s vast History Library.

• Sentomaru told Vegapunk that Britannia offered security and that Gawain’s people kept their promises, while Vegapunk explained Kizaru’s conflicted sense of justice.
• Sentomaru and Vegapunk explored Britannia, receiving relief bread and getting detained after entering a courthouse and a school.
• Vegapunk recognized that Gawain was rebuilding Britannia’s institutions and saw the enormous devastation caused by the Ancient Weapon he had helped create.
• Robin introduced herself as Nefeltari, the eldest princess of Alabasta and owner of the History Library, and Vegapunk deduced how she had escaped the World Government.
• Robin led Vegapunk and Sentomaru into the library, where she showed them its vast collection of books gathered under Gawain’s direction.

Vegapunk met Gawain in Britannia’s history museum and tried to dissuade him from building Pluton, but Gawain revealed that leyline energy could power the Ancient Weapon. Vegapunk agreed to help, warning that Britannia might face the World Government within three years and offering to speed up Pluton’s completion in exchange for a condition.

• Vegapunk read Britannia’s history books and began questioning whether Gawain’s path offered a better future than the Revolutionary Army’s.
• Gawain met Vegapunk and revealed that Britannia had resolved Pluton’s construction problems except for its energy source.
• Vegapunk urged Gawain to abandon Pluton, but Gawain argued that Britannia needed an Ancient Weapon to deter the World Government.
• Gawain showed Vegapunk a concentrated drop of leyline energy and asked whether it could power Pluton; Vegapunk was shocked by the amount Gawain could control.
• Gawain started to leave after Vegapunk confirmed the energy could work, but Vegapunk called him back and offered to accelerate Pluton’s construction if Gawain accepted an additional condition.

Vegapunk joined Britannia and took charge of Pluton’s construction as the Technology Development Bureau’s director, while Franky’s upgrades accelerated. Dragon sent Sabo back to lead the Revolutionary Army temporarily, and Gawain learned that Vegapunk had disappeared.

• Vegapunk agreed to join Britannia after Gawain secured his promise that Pluton would be used only against the World Government and would not take priority over Ancient Weapons.

• Gawain established the Technology Development Bureau with Vegapunk as director, Franky as deputy director, and Sentomaru leading its combat squad, accelerating Pluton’s construction.
• Vegapunk helped rebuild Franky, whose new Radical Beam devastated the sea during a weapons test.
• Bullet reported on the bureau’s progress, and Gawain told him that Vegapunk could be trusted; Kuro then reported intruders who might control the wind.
• Franky called Gawain to report that Vegapunk had disappeared.

Vegapunk refused Dragon’s offer to rejoin the Revolutionary Army, convinced that Britannia represented the world’s future, and Dragon left after resolving to spread its institutions and destroy the Ancient Weapons held by their enemies. Bullet arrived expecting betrayal, but found Vegapunk still in Britannia, leaving him to reconsider Gawain’s trust in his new ally.

• Gawain learned Vegapunk had disappeared and suspected Dragon was behind the storm and the abduction, so he sent Bullet to find Vegapunk and ordered Kuro to alert Issho.
• Bullet warned Gawain not to trust promises and left to retrieve Vegapunk, while Gawain prepared for Dragon to take one of his people.
• Dragon asked Vegapunk to return to the Revolutionary Army, but Vegapunk refused, praising Britannia’s laws and Gawain’s vision for the world.

• Dragon left Vegapunk unconscious after they drank together, and Bullet arrived expecting to find him gone but discovered that he had stayed.

After Britannia stabilized, Gawain left its affairs to Kuro and traveled alone toward Laugh Tale to discover what One Piece was. Meanwhile, Shamrock convinced the Five Elders that Gawain might be building Pluton, leaving them fearful but uncertain whether to confront Britannia.

• The Five Elders realized the genuine Pluton blueprints might be with Gawain and feared Britannia could challenge the World Government.
• Saint Saturn argued that building Pluton might be impossible without a suitable energy source, and the Five Elders ordered CP0 to investigate.

The Five Elders ordered an investigation into Britannia’s Pluton project while Imu freed Blackbeard and Shiryu from Impel Down, recruited them, and set course for Elbaf. Two months later, Britannia’s fighters had grown stronger as Kuro defeated Akin again and the Martial Arts Tournament approached.

• The Five Elders discussed Britannia’s growing threat, ordered CP to investigate its Pluton construction, and planned to send Rob Lucci to the Martial Arts Tournament.

Gawain returned from Raftel with the Cloud-Cloud Fruit and the manuscripts left by earlier visitors, but Robin discovered records predicting that the entire world would sink within four or five years. As Gawain searched for a solution, Aokiji approached Britannia and received an urgent call from Akainu asking him to join the Navy and restrain him.

• Gawain left Raftel after finding predecessor records and a grimacing face instead of the treasure he expected.
• Gawain gave Nami the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, and she used it to summon clouds and unleash a vast lightning storm.
