• Atlas studied the Rainbow Mist’s unusual readings while Golden Lion learned it had appeared and received Bondrewd’s request to begin the next stage of their plan.
• Cipher Pol Aigis Zero decided that Bird-Beak would lead a team into the mist while Cat-Face and Atlas stayed outside to face Golden Lion.

• Gil remotely controlled Babbage while he and Issho spoke with Sephiroth, who coordinated the operation from the Ashen.
• The port erupted into battle as Drake fought Atlas, Hawkins fought a masked Cipher Pol agent, and Marines and pirates exchanged fire.

• Birdbeak contacted Atlas from the Tariye Star, while Hanzo reached Phillip; the team later fought off a giant yellow sea serpent attacking the ship.
• Atlas and Shamrock saw lightning erupt from the mist, but Birdbeak reported that his region was quiet, suggesting the mist contained separate spaces.
• Babbage told Atlas that the children had entered from Ruluka Island in 1470 and explained that they had once lived aboard the Tariye Star before moving to a wrecked warship.

Cipher Pol Aigis Zero and King Babbage battled Praying Hands as Bondrewd confronted Babbage, then reached the five stranded children and offered to take them out of the Rainbow Mist and adopt them. Babbage returned to the warship and warned the children not to trust Bondrewd, leaving them caught between the two powerful figures.

• Bird-Beak led Hanzo, Rabani, and the agents toward the Mechanical King's signal, but Praying Hands ambushed their speedboats and killed two agents.

• Babbage, Bondrewd, and Sommers clashed aboard the warship, and Iso fell through the collapsing deck before Bondrewd caught and shielded her from Sommers's thorns.

A CP4 agent awoke in a simulated 1510 Foosha Village where Garp was a pirate, while Shining explained the Rainbow Mist and Bondrewd’s gates to Saint Shepherd Sommers. Bondrewd took Iso through parallel worlds and fought Luffy, Ace, and Sabo in Loguetown before escaping with her into the gap zone, where Shining confronted him.

• Shining confronted Bondrewd over Iso, and Bondrewd let her leave with Shining rather than risk her in a fight.
• Hanzo told Saint Shepherd Sommers that Ruluka Island’s Rainbow Tower could provide a passage through the mist, so Shamrock ordered Cat Face to force Mayor Whedon and his family to activate it.
• Atlas, Shamrock, Gunko, and the troops entered the Rainbow Mist, where they found Shining, Iso, and Bondrewd; Bondrewd decomposed the passage and escaped through a doorway of light.
• The stranded group headed toward the abandoned warship, and Atlas used a memory-reading helmet to examine Iso’s memories of Luffy, Ace, Sabo, Isuka, and Garp.
• Atlas confirmed that Iso’s memories showed no signs of alteration and told Shamrock and Gunko that a parallel world was very likely real.

Atlas and the God's Knights used Babbage's prediction to ambush Bondrewd at the Rainbow Mist's appearance point. Just as Bondrewd tried to escape with his hypercube, a mysterious beam struck it, sending it flying and blinding everyone nearby.

• Iso reunited with Little Rabani and the other children aboard the abandoned warship, while Shamrock learned that Bondrewd had severed the Rainbow Tower.

• After reaching the pier, Hanzo reunited with the older Iso, Longo, Bukao, and Akibi, and Big Rabani explained that they had escaped to Ruluka Island in 1471.
• Atlas offered Hanzo and his companions positions in the Marine Science Unit.

After the Rainbow Mist incident, Atlas recruited Hanzo and his companions into the Marine Science Unit and arranged examinations for agents who had returned with memories of parallel worlds.

• The Five Elders speculated that Bondrewd might be a visitor from another parallel world and turned their attention to Saint Saturn.

Shining and Vegapunk's team assessed the authentic memories from Bondrewd's parallel worlds, while Sephiroth monitored Luffy's first day at sea and prepared to visit Fish-Man Island. Luffy was swept into a whirlpool and climbed into a barrel as Sephiroth left the surveillance center.

• Shining met with Vegapunk, Shaka, and Lilith, who concluded that the parallel-world memories were genuine and discussed the danger of recreating Bondrewd's Hyper Cube.
• Shining confirmed that the six people connected to the memories were working at the institute under restricted movement, and Vegapunk clarified that Garp valued Iso's memories of his grandsons becoming marines.

• Sephiroth took the Smooth-Smooth Fruit while Alvida was unconscious, contacted a Marine Branch through an undercover Artificial Angel, and flew toward Babylon.

Sephiroth brought the Smooth-Smooth Fruit back to Babylon and discussed who should eat it with the Inner Court, while Luffy and Koby encountered Zoro in Shells Town. The chapter left Zoro fielding Luffy’s blunt recruitment pitch and Helmeppo’s repeated request to follow him.

• Sephiroth returned to the Inner Court, where Melise welcomed him in a bar-style maid outfit and Robin, Isabella, and Lilith gathered to inspect the Smooth-Smooth Fruit.
• Robin explained the fruit’s reputation for making its user beautiful, and Sephiroth and the others considered whether Laki, Tashigi, or Gerd should eat it.

Sephiroth welcomed Reiju and the Elbaf delegation to Babylon, where Hajrudin reported on Loki’s release and Elbaf’s restored warrior culture. After Issho revealed that some Giants had begun worshipping the “Great Sage Teacher,” the meeting ended, leaving Sephiroth alone with Gerd, who eagerly awaited time with him.

• Sephiroth learned that Reiju had returned from Elbaf with Hajrudin, Gerd, and Issho, and he went with Robin to meet them at the Giant-sized embassy.

• After the meeting, Reiju left to discuss diplomacy, Issho planned to visit Heaven’s Gate Town, and Hajrudin went to look for Road before Gerd asked Sephiroth where they could go together.

Sephiroth visited Uta and the others during band practice, then offered Tashigi the Smooth-Smooth Fruit to help her swordsmanship. Tashigi overcame her doubts and ate it, transforming into a striking beauty as Sephiroth encouraged her to develop its powers.

• Nojiko met an exhausted Sephiroth in the Inner Court, where he said he was going to see Uta and the others.
• Uta, Carina, Nami, Baby 5, and Tashigi rehearsed Sephiroth's song, "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon," and he praised their performance.
• Sephiroth showed the group the Smooth-Smooth Fruit and suggested Tashigi could use its friction-controlling ability to strengthen her swordsmanship.

• Tashigi ate the fruit and became noticeably more beautiful, then saw her changed appearance in Baby 5's mirror.
• Sephiroth urged Tashigi to develop the fruit's powers so she could eventually apply its properties to her blade, while Nami and Carina teased him.
