Sephiroth returned to Babylon Temple and distributed Devil Fruits to Conis and Kaku, while Galette warned him of a secret alliance between the Charlotte Family and Bondrewd. The chapter ended with Sephiroth reassuring Galette and kissing her.
After five years of engagement, Sephiroth and Vivi celebrated Vivi’s coming-of-age ceremony and married in Alabasta. Sephiroth gave Vivi the Snow-Snow Fruit, and she used its power to bring rain to Alubarna before the newlyweds began their wedding night.
Smoker arrested the Friends Pirates while they erected Bondrewd-like obelisks on Apple Island, then reported his suspicions to Akainu. On Birka Island, Sephiroth tested a temporary Ability Drug and discussed its limited deployment before meeting Buena Festa, who offered to help destroy Road Island.
Festa proposed holding a Pirate Expo at the site of a treasure linked to Roger to lure Bondrewd and other powerful pirates, and Shining agreed to support him. A month later, Sephiroth activated the incomplete Seraphim Enkidu, who ate the Copy-Copy Fruit and demonstrated his ability to transform into Blackbeard PX-0.
The Five Elders, Marines, and Road Island’s leaders learned of Festa’s plan to lure pirates to the Pirate Expo with Roger’s treasure, setting up a joint operation against Bondrewd’s officers. As pirates prepared to attend, Shining arrived at Sephiroth’s office on Sky Island.
Sephiroth attended the Pirate Expo in disguise and learned that Revolutionary Army members had infiltrated the island. As Festa’s trap began to draw in Road Island’s forces, Enkidu confronted Ivankov and Koala while Golden Lion’s allies arrived.
Sephiroth explored the Pirate Expo as the Straw Hat Pirates and other crews enjoyed the festivities, while Ace learned that Roger had buried a fortune on the island. Underground, Shining learned about a supposed Log Pose to Laugh Tale and discussed the captured Ivankov and Koala; as the Thousand Sunny entered the main arena, a massive whirlpool opened in the lake and erupted into a towering column of water.
Ace and the other pirates rode the Knock Up Stream to the island inside a giant bubble, where they fought over the treasure Roger left behind. Buggy found an Eternal Pose to Laugh Tale, just as Golden Lion and a transforming island descended from the sky.
Golden Lion and Shining fought across the sky while Bullet and Road Island’s pirates clashed with the Whitebeard and Straw Hat Pirates below. Usopp found Buggy’s treasure chest as the Red Count joined Golden Lion against Shining.
Ace, Luffy, and Sabo joined forces against Bullet after he took the Eternal Pose and injured Usopp, while the Navy began its assault on Road Island. Garp recognized Ace using his Iron Fist as the fleet prepared to encircle the island.
Shining and Kizaru fought Golden Lion and the Red Count as Garp, Sengoku, and Ryokugyu arrived to reinforce the Marines. Bondrewd appeared beside the recovering Red Count, leaving the battle poised to escalate.
Bondrewd and the Marines' speedsters fought across the sky while Garp and Sengoku pursued Golden Lion and Red Count. As the battle spread, Bondrewd attacked Great Angel and Mechanical King, leaving Kizaru and Shining to decide whether to intervene.
Bondrewd battled Kizaru, Shining, the Great Angel, and the Mechanical King as they coordinated their attacks and tried to exploit his resurrection cooldown. Bondrewd declared that fighting all four was too much of a stretch and deployed Imaginary Manifestation, while the Mechanical King and Shining answered with their own domains.
Ace, Sabo, and Luffy fought Bullet’s growing construct giant while Garp and Sengoku battled Golden Lion and Red Count, and Ryokugyu pressed Road Island’s officers. Above the island, Bondrewd defeated Mechanical King’s Sky-Thunder form and transformed into Typhon, Star of Calamity, leaving Kizaru, Shining, and the Great Angel facing his new form.
Typhon fought Kizaru, Shining, the Great Angel, Garp, and Sengoku while Bondrewd’s allies withdrew from the battlefield. As the battle shifted, Sephiroth and Enkidu revealed their disguises, and Sephiroth transformed into the One-Winged Angel to confront Typhon.
Ace, Sabo, Luffy, and Ann defeated Bullet’s construct and destroyed his Eternal Pose, while Sephiroth killed Typhon with the Heavenly Abyss Sword. As the Marines secured Bullet, Bondrewd and PX-0 captured Ryokugyu, took his Woods-Woods Fruit ability, and escaped, leaving Kizaru to find him brain-dead.
