Chapter Summaries

Nova and Enel explored the vast golden palace beneath Shandora, where Nova discovered a Poneglyph and explained what it was. The palace and its immense riches now belonged to Nova, while the inscription remained unread.

• Nova entered the underground golden palace with Enel, who warned him about the giant creature inside.
• Nova used Observation Haki and found no living creatures in the palace, then concluded the gold had likely been gathered by the Gold-Gold Fruit.
• Nova led Enel through the palace and found a five-meter-tall Poneglyph beside a golden throne and statues.
• Enel asked about the Poneglyph’s writing, and Nova explained that it recorded many things but few people could read it.

Nova deciphered a Poneglyph detailing the Ancient Weapon Poseidon, then converted the Underground Golden Palace into stone and gained VIP status in the Myriad Worlds Mall System. He returned to Shandora and ordered Abona to stop searching for gold so they could finish their business on Sky Island and return to the kingdom.

• Nova spent more than ten million Beli to decipher the Poneglyph and learned that it described Poseidon on Fish-Man Island.
• Nova made the Poneglyph vanish, assessed the Underground Golden Palace at approximately 1.2353 trillion Beli, and ordered the system to recharge it while replacing it with stone.
• Enel panicked as the palace turned to stone, while Nova received VIP membership after recharging more than one trillion Beli.
• Nova came back to his senses, apologized to Enel, and left the palace with him.
• Nova told Abona to stop searching for gold and prepare to finish their business on Sky Island before returning to the kingdom.

Nova built a Space Teleportation Gate at a concealed site behind the planned military base on Sky Island. The gate stabilized and connected to the structure he brought from the System Space, leaving Abona and Junhe astonished.

• Nova chose the gate’s location after Junhe explained its security advantages and Abona agreed.
• Nova used his Space Power to form a huge vortex, which drew in nearby plants and stirred dark clouds and lightning over Sky Island.
• After fifteen minutes, Nova stabilized the vortex and summoned a massive black gate through a spatial rift.
• The gate connected to the vortex, completing the Space Teleportation Gate while Abona and Junhe watched in shock.

Nova established a Space Teleportation Gate on Sky Island and handed Junhe responsibility for planning the Tru Kingdom’s military base and managing the island. With the main work complete, Nova planned to return to the Tru Kingdom after a conference in three days.

• Nova completed the Space Teleportation Gate, leaving a barren area around it, and told Junhe to finish planning the military base within three months.
• Junhe asked whether Sky Island should be sealed off, and Nova said it was unnecessary while directing him to control the island’s population and recruit capable people.
• Abona backed making Upper Yard a forbidden zone, and Nova ordered guards to protect the gate because its destination was still random.
• Nova reviewed the work completed on Sky Island and decided to leave for the Tru Kingdom in the next few days.
• Nova ordered a Sky Island conference in three days to settle supply distribution and personnel assignments, then placed Junhe in charge of the island.

Nova arranged food supplies and future responsibilities for the Shandia people and Angel Island, leaving Junhe in charge of Sky Island after his departure. The groups accepted the terms and prepared to collect the supplies.

• Nova called a meeting at God's Shrine to settle supply arrangements for Sky Island.
• Wipper asked whether the Shandia people could freely collect food, and Junhe explained that the Skypiea Tribe would receive six months of free supplies and guard Sky Island's entrance.
• Junhe said Angel Island would receive staples and three months of fruit and meat, after which its people could contribute labor or trade goods to sustain themselves.
• Nova told Gan Fall that Angel Island could retain its way of life and gather shells and other Sky Island specialties for sale in the Tru Kingdom.
• Wipper and Gan Fall accepted the arrangements, and Nova left Junhe responsible for Sky Island's affairs.

Junhe oversaw the distribution of the Tru Kingdom’s food supplies to the people of Sky Island, assigning Wipper and Gan Fall to ensure everyone received the same share. The generous allotments earned Nova and the King the goodwill of the islanders.

• Junhe showed Wipper, Gan Fall, and the others the vast stores of food intended for Sky Island.
• Junhe told the islanders that the supplies were gifts from the King and that they would be responsible for protecting Sky Island’s peace.
• Junhe ordered Wipper to distribute supplies to the Skypiea Tribe and Gan Fall to distribute the same share to Angel Island residents.
• Junhe explained the monthly allotments and said the packaged food would stay fresh because it had been infused with Space Power.
• Wipper and the Priests began moving and distributing the supplies, giving each person an equal share.
• The islanders received their food and were moved to tears, developing goodwill toward Nova and the King.

After a month on Sky Island, Nova prepared to return to the Tru Kingdom and begin developing its economy and military. He left Abona with him, entrusting Sky Island’s affairs to Gan Fall, Wipper, and Junhe, while promising to return within a few months.

• Enel tearfully asked Nova to stay, and Nova promised to return and urged him to keep training.
• Enel resolved to become a powerhouse who could help Nova in the future.
• Nova declined Junhe’s suggestion to take more escorts, saying he and Abona could travel safely.
• Nova told Gan Fall and Wipper to continue improving Sky Island and asked Junhe to set up video equipment there.
• Nova and Abona vanished from the gathering, and the others saw them off as they departed.

Nova saved himself and Abona from falling into the ocean by buying a cruise ship through the System, then named it Endless. The ship requested identity verification at its core, which Nova and Abona began searching for.

• Nova bought a random intelligent yacht through the System while he and Abona fell toward the sea.
• Nova teleported himself and Abona onto a silver-white cruise ship that had appeared beneath them.
• Nova explored the luxurious ship and discovered it had cost more than thirty billion Beli.
• The ship greeted Nova in Chinese and told him he could name it, so he called it Endless.
• Endless requested identity verification at its core, and Nova began searching for it while Abona followed in confusion.

Nova registered himself as the ship’s first user, named its AI Hailing, and set the Endless on course for the Tru Kingdom. As Hailing explained the ship’s capabilities, the vessel began its five-day voyage.

• Nova registered his palm at the helm and activated the ship’s holographic system, choosing to be addressed as Your Majesty and naming the AI Hailing.
• Hailing could not plot a course without a world map, so Nova bought an electronic map of the Pirate World for nearly one hundred million Beli and inserted it into the ship.
• Nova ordered the Endless to sail to the Tru Kingdom, and Hailing plotted the route and began the voyage.
• Abona remained locked outside while the Endless accelerated toward its planned speed and Hailing estimated a travel time of five days and eight hours.
• At Nova’s request, Hailing began describing the Endless’s size, nuclear power system, passenger capacity, defenses, and ability to travel while invisible.

Nova learned the new cruise ship could cross the Calm Belt directly to the Tru Kingdom, then opened his membership gift pack and gained major upgrades to his mental power, Haki, and other abilities. After fusing with the improvements, he tested his enhanced senses and Armament Haki and felt stronger than ever.

• Hailing explained the cruise ship’s features to Nova, who noted that it could travel invisibly and reach the Tru Kingdom through the Calm Belt in just over five days, though it carried no food supplies.
• Nova asked Abona what was troubling him, and Abona said he had lost his sense of direction; Nova advised him to find a goal or simply honor the sword he carried.
• Abona considered Nova’s words while studying Dawn, and a trace of emotion returned to his eyes.
• Nova opened his membership gift pack in the System Space and received three levels of mental power, one-tier upgrades to his three kinds of Haki, and one-level upgrades to his other abilities.
• Nova fused with the upgrades and discovered that his senses had improved and his Armament Haki could cover his clothes as well as his body.

Nova and Abona encountered ten Navy warships crossing the Calm Belt aboard the Endless and investigated their movements. After identifying a force of roughly five thousand sailors, Nova slowed the ship to observe and asked Abona what might be happening.

• Hailing warned Nova that his Armament Haki could damage the ship’s fragile interior, and Nova agreed to stop using his abilities in the cabins.
• Several days later, the Endless crossed the Calm Belt without attracting any Sea Kings, while Nova and Abona waited for their arrival in the Tru Kingdom.
• Hailing told Nova that the ship would reach the Tru Kingdom in about ten hours and reported more than ten Navy warships ahead.
• Nova ordered Hailing to activate stealth mode and bring the Endless closer to the warships.
• Nova and Abona observed ten Navy warships carrying around five thousand sailors, and Nova slowed the Endless before asking Abona what the Navy might be doing.

Nova and Abona avoided a large Marine fleet in the Calm Belt and sailed to the Tru Kingdom. Nova returned to Naniwa Port after nearly three months away, where Lostar and others welcomed him, though Nova did not appear happy.

• Nova and Abona watched a dozen Marine warships heading toward the South Blue, then ordered the Endless to avoid them and continue on.
• The Endless outpaced the Marine fleet and reached the South Blue, heading toward the Tru Kingdom.
• Hailing told Nova the Endless would reach Tru Kingdom within an hour, and Nova ordered it to dock at Naniwa Port and contact Lostar.
• Nova went onto the deck to glimpse his country, reflecting that he planned to remain in the South Blue for at least three years.
• The Endless arrived at Naniwa Port, where hundreds welcomed Nova and Lostar greeted him respectfully.
• Abona looked around the unfamiliar port as Nova faced the welcoming crowd without showing much happiness.

Nova returned to the royal palace and heard Lostar’s report on the kingdom’s rapid industrial and economic growth, along with its funding shortage. The report ended before Nova revealed what he wanted Lostar to address.

• Nova arrived at Naniwa Port, ordered guards to protect the Endless, and summoned Lostar to the royal palace.
• Lostar reported that institutional reforms were underway, factories and roads were expanding, and merchants were gathering at Naniwa and Trova Ports.
• Lostar said eighty-six factories had opened, employing nearly five million people, and survey teams had reached fifteen South Blue countries.
• Lostar identified Crimea as a promising target for the Fourth Dossier’s next stage because of its mineral resources and low population density.
• Lostar told Nova that the kingdom’s treasury was strained, though industrial income was about twenty-five billion Beli and was expected to exceed one hundred and thirty billion Beli monthly by March next year.
• Nova remained silent through Lostar’s report, then raised his head and set down his teacup.

Nova reprimanded Lostar for failing to report on the Tru Kingdom and for using the fourth dossier to pursue revenge against Crimea. He warned Lostar to keep his schemes within bounds, then assigned him to Alabasta to manage trade and open the Grand Line market.

• Nova questioned Lostar's performance as Minister of Commerce, criticizing his lack of reports and unauthorized use of the fourth dossier.
• Lostar admitted he had used the dossier because Crimea had caused his parents' deaths and asked Nova for forgiveness.
• Nova told Lostar to prepare commercial plans and depart for Alabasta in half a month to take charge of trade there.
• Lostar accepted the warning, and Nova invited him to sit so they could discuss Alabasta.

Nova assigned Lostar to arrange a commercial partnership with Alabasta and prepare to leave his post in the Tru Kingdom. After a meeting about the kingdom, Nova moved the Celestial Dragons’ assets into the Royal Treasury and discovered more than twenty Devil Fruits among them.

• Nova told Lostar to settle the remaining problems in the Tru Kingdom and create a plan to secure eighty percent of Alabasta’s ports and establish a Tru Kingdom commercial port within two years.
• Lostar asked whether the commercial plan should cover only the first half of the Grand Line, and Nova told him to focus on his assigned mission and leave other matters to others.
• Nova ordered Lostar to find someone to take over his duties within half a month and to visit the Royal Treasury after the following afternoon.
• Nova held a meeting about unresolved issues in the recently merged Tru Kingdom and Roa Kingdom.
• Nova filled the empty Royal Treasury with the Celestial Dragons’ assets he had taken from Mary Geoise.
• Nova opened a red wooden box and found that it contained a Devil Fruit, with more than twenty Devil Fruits in the treasury overall.

Nova found many Devil Fruits in Bokuroi’s treasury and asked the System how he could eat a second one. He spent 500 billion Beli to remove the Space-Space Fruit’s side effects and ended the chapter testing the change by touching seawater.

• Nova stored the Devil Fruits from Bokuroi’s treasury in his Space Ability and told a maid to have Gogoya visit him the next morning.
• Nova asked the System how he could eat a second Devil Fruit, and it demanded 500 billion Beli to remove the side effects of his previous fruit.
• Nova paid 500 billion Beli to remove the Space-Space Fruit’s side effects so he could consume another Devil Fruit.
• Nova traveled to the seaside near midnight and cautiously touched the seawater to test whether the side effects were gone.

After enjoying the sea again, Nova ate the Mind-Mind Fruit and unleashed unexpected powers linked to his Sage Body. Unable to control the violent transformation, he fled to a plaza and ordered Abona to seal off the royal palace’s rear courtyard before collapsing.

• Nova returned to his room before dawn and considered the nation’s future and his growing ambition.
• Nova ate a bite of the Mind-Mind Fruit, triggering a painful transformation.
• Nine blue-glowing chains burst from Nova’s back and ravaged his room as his Sage Body abilities and Observation Haki surged.
• Nova used his Space Power to escape to the plaza where he had fought CP Two.
• Nova called Abona and ordered him to seal off the royal palace’s rear courtyard, then collapsed as his chains destroyed the plaza.

Abona blocked the palace guard from entering the back mountain after a major disturbance, and Junhe ordered them to wait two hours before forcing their way in. On the mountain, Nova lay unconscious as nine chains continued to lengthen and hover over the ruined plaza.

• Abona barred Chiya and the palace guards from approaching the back mountain, citing the king's order.
• Abona called Junhe on a Den Den Mushi, and Junhe told Chiya to wait two hours before entering if the situation remained unclear.
• Chiya ordered guards to check whether the king was in his chambers while Abona continued guarding the passage.
• Nova lay unconscious on the ruined plaza as the nine chains extending from his back slowly lengthened under his Space Ability.
• Chiya kept the disturbance and its details from spreading beyond the palace.

Chiya and the Royal Guard confronted Abona over access to the back mountain, where Nova remained unconscious. As the standoff neared a fight, Chiya received an urgent call asking for an update.

• After waiting two hours, Chiya ordered Abona to move aside so the Royal Guard could enter the back mountain.
• Abona refused, saying Nova had ordered that no one enter, and readied Dawn as the Royal Guard took combat stances.
• Gogoya arrived and tried to calm the two sides, but Abona only assured them that Nova was fine and said they had to wait for him to come down.
• Chiya prepared the Royal Guard to fight, explaining that Nova's unknown whereabouts and Army Commander Junhe's orders made an investigation necessary.
• Chiya answered a ringing Den Den Mushi and heard an anxious voice ask how the situation was going.

After Nova collapsed on the mountain-top plaza, Abona told Junhe that Nova seemed to have used two Devil Fruits but was not in immediate danger. Nova’s unconscious body then triggered a powerful space storm inside a protective barrier, while the kingdom’s people waited for him to wake.

• Chiya told Junhe that Abona was blocking the way to the back mountain and that Gogoya had arrived.
• Junhe asked Abona what had happened, and Abona said Nova seemed to have eaten two Devil Fruits and had fainted from exhaustion.
• Junhe told the people to wait, and more than a hundred guards secured the back mountain as Nova remained unconscious.
• Nova twitched a finger, and the nine chains behind him formed a barrier around the plaza.
• A space storm raged inside the barrier for nearly a day while Abona watched and the people waited below the mountain.
