Chapter Summaries

The Tru Empire’s new order drew most pirates back into ordinary life while the remaining pirate groups faced a campaign to eliminate them. The Straw Hat Crew reached Laugh Tale and discovered that the Pirate King’s treasure was the truth about the Void Century, including the existence of a ruler from beyond their world.

• After the meeting, the Tru Empire revoked most pirates’ bounties and forgave their past crimes, prompting many to return to normal life and use their ships for business.
• Fido assigned the T Department, led by the eager Number One, to deal with Blackbeard and his dangerous crew as Marines and the Tru Empire Navy began coordinated campaigns against pirates.
• Shanks, Kaido, and the Big Mom Pirates began clearing pirates from their territories in response to the new order.
• The Straw Hat Crew reached Laugh Tale and found Nami disappointed by the bare site while the others gathered around a stone pillar covered in writing.
• Robin identified the writing as the history of the Void Century and explained that an outsider ruled the world behind the World Government and had created Pluton and Uranus.

After the Straw Hat Crew left Laugh Tale, the world settled into peace under the Tru Empire and the World Alliance, while the former pirates found new lives. Fifteen years later, Nova stopped a vast space battleship from threatening the world, leaving his future role uncertain.

• The Straw Hat Crew became the Pirate King, then adapted to a transformed world as Buggy built a maritime logistics empire, the Revolutionary Army helped maintain order, and Sabo reunited with Ace.
• The Tru Empire governed from Enies Lobby, while the World Alliance restricted access to Devil Fruits and Haki and expanded the empire’s commercial plans across nations.
• A year later, Kid became captain of the National Guard, Trafalgar Law opened a medical center on the Sabaody Archipelago, and Nami, Zoro, and Robin returned to their former homes and pursuits.
• Fifteen years later, Nova appeared in outer space beside Fido as an enormous technological construct emerged from a black hole.
• Nova used the Six Paths Space Technique—Black Hole to envelop the approaching threat, and the battleship’s uniformed figure saluted before the vessel vanished into the void.
