• Kong welcomed Sakazuki back to Headquarters and again raised the possibility of him becoming Fleet Admiral, but Sakazuki refused.
• Sakazuki met Zephyr, Morris, and Zephyr's son at the Academy, praised the boy, and offered to help him find a Devil Fruit despite Zephyr's objections.
• Arlong rejected Jinbe's leadership, declared he would revive the Arlong Pirates, and challenged Jinbe to kill him if he wanted to stop him.

• Arlong reunited with his radical followers and led them to attack a warship at night, intending to kill everyone aboard.
• Bullet stepped onto the warship's deck and angrily told the attacking Fish-Men to be quiet.

• The Fish-Men found themselves overwhelmed by Bullet’s soldiers, and Arlong tried to retreat and seize a hostage before Bullet crushed his face, broke his legs, and tore off his arm.
• Bullet had the other Fish-Men captured and killed several of them, while Hachi identified himself as part of the Sun Pirates and invoked Jinbe’s status as a Shichibukai before Bullet tore off his arms and killed him.
• Bullet ordered his soldiers to kill the remaining Fish-Men, then tortured the unconscious Arlong in a vat of strong liquor and ordered an adjutant to bring a Den Den Mushi.
• Bullet called Jinbe and asked whether he had ordered Fish-Men from the Sun Pirates to attack a warship, while Jinbe denied it and suspected Arlong’s group.
• Jinbe recognized Arlong gasping through the Den Den Mushi, but Bullet abruptly silenced him and ordered the captured Fish-Men thrown into the sea.

Jinbe received a warning that the Shichibukai were tools of the government and Marines, while Sakazuki urged Zephyr to let his twenty-three-year-old son choose whether to eat the Float-Float Fruit. Zephyr remained silent as he considered the fruit and his son’s future.

• An unknown caller warned Jinbe to keep his men in line because the Shichibukai were dogs for the government and Marines, then ended the call.
• Enel sparred with Zephyr’s purple-haired son and learned that Zephyr still considered him too weak to be assigned to a ship.

On the eve of a worldwide broadcast with a pirate Four Emperor, Sakazuki told Carol how he had overcome years of uncertainty and decided to remake the world. He left the story looking toward the coming broadcast and the first step in his plan.

• Sakazuki left Zephyr to arrange Sote's training, and Sote began studying battlefield command at home.
• At dinner, Zephyr asked Sote whether he had ever resented him, and Sote reassured him that he had always been proud of his father, prompting Zephyr to break down in tears.
• The kings arrived at Mary Geoise and began a seven-day conference, while the Five Elders discussed the coming upheaval and a great purge.

Sakazuki ordered the Marines to track and recover dangerous Paramecia fruits while the first Sea Train began its voyage from Water 7. Its successful run prompted the Chief Justice to prepare to clear Tom, while Spandine saw an opportunity to use Tom’s case to advance his son.

• Sakazuki told Carol to compile a list of Paramecia users and prioritize recovering their fruits, and he learned that Vice Admiral Tsuru had taken custody of Baby 5 and a Hobby-Hobby Fruit user.
• Water 7 residents heard that the Sea Train was ready and rushed to Scrap Island, where they gathered to see Tom’s creation.

• Spandine read the same report and considered using the rumors about Tom and the Pluton Blueprints to secure a CP9 promotion for his son before calling someone.

Spandam secured the Five Elders' approval to seize the Pluton Blueprints and confronted Tom in Water 7, but Tom denied having them and drove him away. That night, Tom prepared to give something important to Iceburg and Franky as Enel watched from afar, suspecting the Pluton Blueprints were about to appear.

• Spandam persuaded the Five Elders that the government needed to obtain the Pluton Blueprints, and they assigned the mission to him.
• Sakazuki showed Vegapunk information about Tom and the Sea Train, prompting Vegapunk to doubt that Tom possessed the Pluton Blueprints.

• Spandam arrived with Cipher Pol 5 agents and tried to question Tom, but a cannonball blast sent him flying.
• Spandam accused Tom of hiding the blueprints and threatened to search his belongings, but Tom tossed him outside.
• Tom checked the area with Observation Haki and called Iceburg and Franky over to give them something important while Enel watched from a distant tower.

Tom showed Iceburg and Franky the Pluton blueprints and warned them about Robin’s wanted poster. Enel secretly copied the blueprints for Vegapunk, then Sakazuki proposed building a scaled-down Pluton and enlarging it with the More-More Fruit.

• Tom gave Iceburg and Franky the Pluton blueprints, and Iceburg agreed to keep them hidden while Franky urged him to build the weapon.
• Tom showed Iceburg and Franky Robin’s wanted poster and warned them about her.
• Enel anesthetized everyone in the house, took the blueprints, and scanned them for Vegapunk.
• Vegapunk confirmed the blueprints were genuine but said the materials and costs made a full-size Pluton impractical, so Sakazuki ordered Enel to return them and leave the others alone.
• Sakazuki asked Vegapunk about building Pluton at one-hundredth scale, then revealed that the More-More Fruit could enlarge objects up to one hundred times.

Sakazuki and Vegapunk discussed how to obtain memory metal from a Devil Fruit user who was a king, while Franky prepared to celebrate Tom's expected pardon in Water 7. An armed fleet attacked the judicial ship before Tom's hearing, and Franky recognized every ship as his own.

• Sakazuki told Vegapunk that a king possessed a Devil Fruit capable of synthesizing memory metal, but they would have to wait for a chance to act.
• Franky went out to buy ingredients for a feast celebrating Tom's expected pardon, while Kokoro woke Tom and Iceburg for the hearing.
• Water 7 residents gathered to welcome the judicial ship, and the chief justice praised Tom's Sea Train and anticipated clearing him of his charges.
• Franky returned from shopping as the hearing drew near, but a fleet bombarded the judicial ship and harbor.
• Franky recognized the attacking ships as his own and wondered who was using them to wreak havoc.

Spandam arranged an attack on the judicial ship using Franky's battleships, framing Tom's Workers so the government could seize Tom's blueprints. At the makeshift trial, Franky accused Spandam, but the chapter ended before the court ruled.

• Spandam's masked agents withdrew from the unmanned ships, then Franky's battleships bombarded them while Tom and Iceburg were aboard.
• Franky found Tom and Iceburg injured, and Iceburg blamed him for leaving the battle ships behind before explaining that the government had framed Tom's Workers.
• Spandam arrived and ordered CP Agents to arrest Tom, Iceburg, and Franky, then persuaded the Chief Justice to hand the prisoners over for questioning.
• At the makeshift trial, Franky denied attacking the judicial ship and accused Spandam, who acted surprised.

Tom took responsibility for attacking the judicial ship and was sentenced to be taken to Enies Lobby for building Roger’s ship. Franky tried to stop the Sea Train carrying Tom, but it ran him over and left him gravely shattered.

• Tom broke his chains, struck Franky, and told him a ship’s builder must always cherish it and stand proud of what he built.
• Tom admitted to attacking the judicial ship and asked the Chief Justice to let that crime be covered by his work on the Sea Train, but accepted a death sentence for building Roger’s ship.
• The Chief Justice ordered that Tom alone be taken to Enies Lobby, and Franky struck Spandam with a gun before fleeing.
• Franky caught up with the Sea Train, fired cannonballs at it, and then stood in its path demanding that it return Tom.
• The Sea Train ran over Franky, shattering the front half of his body as he called for Tom to come back.

Sakazuki, Bullet, and Enel stripped the Pluton design down to its main cannon and power source, then planned to build a weapon capable of threatening any island. Sakazuki explained how the government could erase islands and history, leaving the weapon’s purpose and the fate of the ancient weapons unresolved.

• Sakazuki, Bullet, and Enel examined the Pluton’s simulated power and concluded that its cost and scarce materials made the full design impossible to build.
• Sakazuki ordered Enel to remove everything except the main cannon and power source, then directed him to optimize the cannon’s power, range, and targeting.
• Sakazuki declared that they would build a giant cannon to mount on the Red Line and use it to deter the world’s conflicts.
• Enel asked whether they should eliminate the old fish-man and two youths, but Sakazuki said the old man had died at Enies Lobby and the government had not obtained the blueprints.
• Sakazuki explained that the government could erase islands and bury their existence over time, then noted that Uranus might be the secret behind its power.
• Sakazuki told Bullet and Enel that Rocks had once been the world’s strongest pirate, but predicted that Roger would be remembered longer because people remembered the first.

• Sakazuki intercepted Dragon’s call, then appeared beside Ivankov and crushed his hand and Den Den Mushi.

• Ivankov opened his eyes and launched finger spikes at Sakazuki.

Sakazuki confronted Ivankov and Inazuma in the Kingdom of Geglia, captured them after a brief exchange, and discussed creating a Marine intelligence department with Sengoku. When the two Revolutionaries attacked to cover their fighters’ retreat, Sakazuki crushed their arms and unleashed a devastating magma attack toward the fleeing Revolutionary Army.

• Ivankov’s syringes broke against Sakazuki’s Armament Haki, and Sakazuki struck him hard enough to cave in his chest before Inazuma caught him with raised slabs of rock.

• Sakazuki unleashed Lava Burst Orb, sending magma and smoke through the forest toward the fleeing Revolutionary Army and shaking the Royal City.

Sengoku and Kong discussed the Revolutionary Army and the upcoming Fleet Admiral succession, then weighed four candidates for the Three Admirals. Kong urged Sengoku to consult Sakazuki about the final appointment, while Sakazuki remained on Gago'o Island as a sudden wind broke his silence.

• Sakazuki sat on Gago'o Island beside the unconscious Ivankov and Inazuma and watched the sea.
• Kong explained to Sengoku that the World Government viewed the Revolutionary Army as a way to reshape its affiliated nations and advised the Marines to maintain order.
• Kong told Sengoku to prepare a Fleet Admiral promotion ceremony for Sakazuki's return.
• Sengoku identified Bullet, Borsalino, Kuzan, and Enel as candidates for two Admiral posts, confirming Borsalino for one position.
• Kong advised Sengoku to ask Sakazuki about the remaining position, since Bullet and Enel followed him and he was unlikely to resent the choice.
• A fierce wind rose beside Sakazuki, and he turned his attention from the sea.

Sakazuki stopped Dragon’s attempt to rescue the prisoners by turning his massive waterspout into a pillar of magma, while Dragon was blasted far out to sea. After returning to Marineford, Sakazuki found the headquarters bustling ahead of Sengoku’s promotion to Fleet Admiral.

• Dragon retreated beyond the reach of Sakazuki’s Conqueror’s Haki, then created and sent a huge waterspout toward Gago'o Island.
• Sakazuki hurled an Armament Haki-coated Magma Spear into the waterspout, turning it into a towering magma pillar before the pillar exploded and flung Dragon away.
• Dragon re-formed in the distance, found that his Log Pose gave only a faint response, and set off to search for an island.
• At dawn, Cipher Pol agents arrived on Gago'o Island, and Sakazuki ordered them to treat the two prisoners and keep them alive.

• Several days later, Sakazuki returned to Marineford, where the soldiers prepared for Sengoku’s upcoming promotion to Fleet Admiral.

Enel and Luo demonstrated Luo’s ROOM abilities, and the Marines finalized Sengoku’s promotion to Fleet Admiral and the next Admiral appointments. The news reached Whole Cake Island and Onigashima, where Charlotte Linlin reacted angrily to Lola’s escape and Kaido read the report.

• Enel teased Luo by taking his new hat, and Luo used ROOM to retrieve it and shock Enel with an ability that mimicked a surgical instrument.

Sengoku assigned Borsalino to respond to Kaido’s approach toward Red-Haired Shanks, while Sakazuki and Carol discussed how the rapidly expanding Revolutionary Army had become a powerful but unstable force.
