Chapter Summaries

Enel and Bullet visited Vegapunk to test Bullet’s amplification ability, and Vegapunk explained that Bullet’s immense stamina made the fruit overshoot its intended multiplier. After learning the device was safe within Bullet’s limits, Enel took him to investigate missiles, while Carol headed to Moguro Island to confront the Foxy Pirates.

• Sengoku ordered Garp to leave before he forgot what he was supposed to do.
• Enel brought Bullet to Vegapunk, who tested Bullet’s ability and found that the amplification varied because Bullet’s physique let him exceed the intended output.
• Vegapunk explained that Bullet’s stamina placed a limit on his power, so the device needed no modification, though Bullet would need regular tests as he grew stronger.
• Enel took Bullet to look into missiles with Vegapunk, mentioning Sakazuki’s new cluster bomb for dealing with pirates.
• Carol identified the Foxy Pirates’ ship at Moguro Island and vanished from where he stood.

Carol killed Foxy and destroyed the Foxy Pirates, leaving behind a gruesome tale known as “The Ghost Fire’s Revenge.” At Marine Headquarters, Zephyr took an interest in Drake while Morris discussed precautions for Sugar, and Sakazuki secretly told Carol to begin.

• Carol appeared at the Foxy Pirates’ feast, stabbed Foxy, and used the Fruit Reclaimer to retrieve his Devil Fruit.
• Carol’s electrical cylinder paralyzed the pirates and set the ship ablaze, killing everyone aboard and spawning the rumor “The Ghost Fire’s Revenge.”

• Zephyr praised new recruit Drake to Morris, who explained why the Marines needed safeguards around Sugar’s Hobby-Hobby Fruit.
• Sakazuki secretly contacted Carol from an uninhabited island and told him to begin.

• Carol found Don Accino sleeping on a snowy island and brought him to Sakazuki, who confronted him on a deserted island.
• Accino fled by launching himself into the sky, but Sakazuki and Carol caught up, and Sakazuki struck him down.

• Carol woke in Vegapunk's laboratory and learned that Lilith and Shaka were clones of Vegapunk.
• Carol handed Lilith and Shaka the Heat-Heat Fruit, the Steel-Steel Fruit, and the Slow-Slow Fruit.

Carol delivered Devil Fruits to Vegapunk’s lab, where Vegapunk and Enel prepared to begin construction while Lilith focused on studying the Slow-Slow Fruit. Meanwhile, the Five Elders discussed evidence against Bartholomew Kuma, and Dragon searched for a way to counter the World Government’s intelligence and reserves; several days later, Sakazuki noticed the Revolutionary Army had suddenly gone quiet.

• Carol delivered several Devil Fruits to Vegapunk’s laboratory, and Shaka stopped Lilith from experimenting with the Slow-Slow Fruit before its original user returned.

• The Five Elders discussed photographs linking Bartholomew Kuma to the Revolutionary Army and decided they needed stronger evidence against him and other respected figures.
• Kuma asked Dragon why he was pulling back Revolutionary Army forces, and Dragon explained that he needed an opening against the World Government’s powerful intelligence network and reserves.
• Several days later, Sakazuki wondered why the Revolutionary Army had suddenly started behaving itself.

Sakazuki and Carol judged that the Revolutionary Army’s sudden pause came from Dragon seeking a solution, while pirates and the World Government continued maneuvering. At Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Sabo watched the children training and joked with Koala about becoming Chief of Staff before a tornado brought someone to the rooftop.

• Sakazuki told Carol that the Revolutionary Army had spread itself too thin and that Dragon was likely trying to solve a problem, so they decided to do nothing.

Dragon asked Sabo for his view of the Revolutionary Army’s future, and Sabo recommended preparing evidence to purge corrupt members without collapsing the organization. Meanwhile, Enel brought Luo to Dragon-Locking Valley to test his training, where Luo used his ability to trap Enel in a compressed mass of earth.

• Dragon asked Sabo what he thought about the Revolutionary Army’s uneven quality and future.
• Sabo told Dragon to gather evidence against corrupt members and rely on the trained children as replacements if a purge became necessary.

• Luo activated ROOM and raised chunks of ground around Enel, compressing them into a huge ball of soil.
• Enel recognized Luo’s attack as resembling Sote’s ability.

Luo fought Enel, but his attacks failed to overcome Enel’s strength and control of electricity, and Enel suggested using high-voltage current to strengthen Luo’s body. Elsewhere, Vice Admiral Doberman pursued pirates to an island and ordered the Marines to bombard them with specially made missiles.

• Luo used his spatial ability and sword techniques to attack Enel, but Enel avoided his heart strike and threw him out of the fighting circle.

Sakazuki destroyed the Revolutionary Army’s last suspected Grand Line base on Tatar Island as its forces tried to free and evacuate the slaves. After Carol ordered him back to Headquarters for a meeting about Red-Haired Shanks, Sakazuki realized Fleet Admiral Sengoku had secretly warned Dragon about the purge and began considering Sengoku a dangerous uncertainty.

• Norisk and the Revolutionary Army rushed to remove slave collars and distribute weapons at a logging camp in the Torpolt Kingdom before Sakazuki arrived.
• A Revolutionary Army soldier urged Norisk to retreat, but Sakazuki appeared and used Lava Burst Orb to engulf the gathered slaves, the rebels, and the ships in magma.
• Carol told Sakazuki that Fleet Admiral Sengoku had summoned him to Headquarters for a war preparations meeting about Red-Haired Shanks.
• Sakazuki concluded that Sengoku had secretly warned Dragon and helped the Revolutionary Army withdraw, and he began planning for Sengoku’s unpredictability.

• Caesar revealed a detonator and threatened to blow up the island unless Enel released him.

Enel, Luo, and Vegapunk survived Caesar’s bomb trap, and the Devil Fruit Reclaimer finished extracting Caesar’s fruit as the bombs destroyed a third of Punk Hazard. Luo agreed to leave with Enel and Vegapunk as they prepared to relocate to Egghead Island, while a scene shifted to Tarkia Island, secretly controlled by Hale Nock.

• Caesar revealed that he had been stalling and triggered the bombs buried across the island, but Enel explained that he had been stalling too and their defenses were prepared.
• A tanuki launched Caesar into the buried bombs, and he died in the explosions as the Devil Fruit Reclaimer completed its work.
• Luo compressed the poison and blast into a liquid sphere while Enel took the recovered Devil Fruit Reclaimer outside the dome.
• Luo and Enel met Vegapunk, who confirmed there had been no casualties and said he planned to move to Egghead Island; Luo agreed to leave with them.
• The story shifted to Tarkia Island, where Hale Nock secretly controlled the ore-rich island and used it to manufacture weapons for trade with the Revolutionary Army.

Bullet destroyed the pirates on Tarkia Island and freed its enslaved residents, while Dragon prepared the Revolutionary Army for a purge across the Four Blues. At Marine Headquarters, Sakazuki clashed with Sengoku over the Revolutionary Army, ending with Sakazuki unleashing his killing intent and Haki.

• Bullet crushed the pirate leader and killed the pirates on Tarkia Island, then freed the enslaved residents after ordering them to gather the weapons.

• Sakazuki rose, released his Conqueror's Haki and killing intent, and shouted at Sengoku.

Marine leaders clashed across several battlefields as Enel fought Kuzan, Bullet fought Garp, and Sakazuki fought Sengoku. Kong arrived and forced Sakazuki and Sengoku apart, ordering them back to Marine Headquarters.

• Kong learned of the fighting, left for Marine Headquarters, and Borsalino followed after finishing his tea.
• The Five Elders learned that Sakazuki and Sengoku, Enel and Kuzan, and Bullet and Garp were fighting, and that Kong had already departed.

With Headquarters deserted by much of the Navy, Kong reprimanded Sengoku, who agreed to resign after the New Year and recommended Sakazuki as his successor.
