The Straw Hat Crew rescued the badly wounded Zephyr from the sea, only for the former Marine Admiral to threaten Chopper despite his treatment. Moonlight retaliated against Zephyr and the Neo Marines with a devastating sword technique, leaving them unable to resist.

• The Straw Hat Crew spotted an injured old man drifting at sea and hauled him aboard, where Chopper began treating him.
• Moonlight identified the old man as Zephyr, former Marine Admiral and leader of the Neo Marines, and suspected the earlier explosion involved Dyna Stone.
• Shuzo and the Neo Marines arrived searching for the drifting man, and Zephyr emerged from the infirmary holding Chopper.
• Zephyr declared that Chopper should die because he was a pirate, so Moonlight struck Zephyr with Sword Aura and Luffy rescued Chopper.
• Moonlight used Extreme God Sword Style: Myriad Swords Return to Origin, slashing apart Zephyr’s Seastone crusher and overwhelming Zephyr and the Neo Marines.

• Luffy, Brook, Zoro, Sanji, and the others relaxed in a bathhouse instead of going straight to shop.
• Aokiji's calm voice interrupted Franky's question about how Devil Fruit users could soak in a hot spring.

Aokiji met the Straw Hat Crew at a bathhouse and revealed that he had lost to Akainu, left the Marines, and joined the Blackbeard Pirates. Moonlight recognized that Aokiji had come to discuss Z and the Dyna Stone, a rock capable of an enormous explosion when exposed to air.

• Aokiji appeared in the bathhouse, reassured the Straw Hat Crew that he meant no harm, and explained how seawater weakened Devil Fruit Users.
• Aokiji revealed that he had fought Akainu over the Fleet Admiral position, lost a leg, and joined the Blackbeard Pirates.

• Moonlight guessed that Aokiji had come because of Z and the Dyna Stone, and Aokiji confirmed it.
• Robin explained that the Dyna Stone was a rock comparable to an Ancient Weapon that exploded when exposed to air.

Robin learned that Z planned to detonate the magma at End Point and burn every pirate in the New World. Luffy agreed to stop him, while Zephyr prepared to carry out the plan until Moonlight and the Straw Hat Crew arrived.

• Robin explained that the Dyna Stone could trigger a massive explosion, and Aokiji revealed that Z intended to use it at End Point.
• Robin deduced that Z planned to detonate the magma reservoirs and kill every pirate; Aokiji confirmed her conclusion and asked the Straw Hat Crew to intervene.
• Luffy agreed to stop Z, and Aokiji led the crew toward him while Kizaru pursued Z's island with several warships.
• Zephyr, still injured from his fight with Moonlight, learned from Shuzo that the island's setup was complete and ordered the Neo Marines to begin the plan.
• Moonlight sent a Sword Aura across the sea that carved a ravine before Zephyr, Ain, Binz, and Shuzo as the Straw Hat Crew approached on the Thousand Sunny.

• Moonlight sensed Admiral Kizaru and the Marines approaching, and Kizaru hesitated over whether to intervene while the Straw Hats fought the Neo Marines.
• Moonlight neutralized nearly all the Dyna Stone, and Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji defeated Zephyr, Shuzo, and Ain.
• Zephyr asked Luffy what kind of sea he wanted, and Luffy declared that he was Monkey D. Luffy and would become the Pirate King.

Zephyr surrendered to Luffy after the Neo Marines were defeated, but Kizaru attacked the Straw Hat Crew and Neo Marines before Moonlight drove him back. The crew escaped, Zephyr was frozen by Aokiji, and the Thousand Sunny sailed toward an island engulfed in flames.

• Zephyr admitted defeat to Luffy, and the Straw Hat Crew gathered after defeating the Neo Marines, only to discover that Moonlight and the Dyna Stone were missing.
• Kizaru unleashed Yasakani no Magatama at the Straw Hat Crew and Neo Marines, but Moonlight appeared and wounded him with a powerful slash.

• The Thousand Sunny sailed away as the crew sorted supplies and argued, while Moonlight returned to the lookout post.
• Moonlight spotted an island on fire ahead, and the Straw Hat Crew saw the blazing island for themselves.

Moonlight and the crew discovered that Punk Hazard’s fiery landscape had been created by Aokiji and Akainu’s battle. After a distress call from someone freezing on the island alarmed them, Moonlight deduced that the caller was likely on the icy side, so the crew set out to reach it.

• Robin recognized Punk Hazard as the island where Aokiji and Akainu had fought for ten days, changing its climate.
• Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Brook, and Zoro went ashore to barbecue while Moonlight and the others stayed aboard the ship.
• A trembling caller contacted the ship, said he was on the island and freezing, then cried out in terror before the call ended.
• Nami and the others prepared to land and search for Luffy’s group, but Moonlight pointed out that the caller’s icy surroundings did not match the fiery shore.
• Moonlight reasoned that the island’s opposite side should be frozen, and the crew decided to sail around the island to find the caller.

Moonlight and his companions found an abandoned research base on Punk Hazard, where a hidden man ordered Trafalgar Luo to kill intruders. Smoker and the G-5 Marines arrived to investigate the island, and Smoker attacked Luo when the Shichibukai blocked his inspection.

• Moonlight and his four companions crossed Punk Hazard’s icy side and found an old Marine research base.
• A middle-aged man spotted the group on surveillance and sent Trafalgar Luo to kill them.
• Smoker recognized the poisonous smoke around Punk Hazard, explained the island’s history to Tashigi, and ordered the G-5 Marines to land.
• Nami’s group hid as Smoker and the Marines approached the base, where they encountered Luo.
• Luo claimed the facility as his territory and refused Smoker’s inspection, so Smoker attacked him with his Seastone Jitte.

Luo used his Op-Op Fruit to overpower Smoker and the G-5 Marines, but Moonlight intervened to protect Tashigi. The Straw Hat Crew explained that they had come to barbecue, and Luffy and Zoro arrived as the confrontation continued.

• Luo removed Smoker’s heart and rearranged the G-5 Marines’ bodies, leaving them alive but confused.
• Tashigi attacked Luo, but Moonlight cut between them with a Sword Aura and stopped him.
• Moonlight explained that Luffy was present, and the Straw Hat Crew thanked Luo for saving Luffy in the past.
• Moonlight said the crew had come for barbecue because Luffy liked the island’s scenery, and Tashigi said the story seemed plausible.
• Luffy and Zoro arrived with a person who had only a lower body.

Luffy and his companions arrived at the research facility with Kin'emon’s lower body, prompting confusion over how they had encountered him. After Luo left a note for Luffy and escaped with Smoker’s heart, the Straw Hat Crew headed to the back of the mountain to meet him.

• Luffy said the crew had encountered a dragon while eating, killed it, and found Kin'emon, while Moonlight correctly pieced together what had happened.
• Smoker suspected the crew had eaten Vegapunk’s artificial dragon, then tried to pursue Luo through a Seastone-reinforced door as Luo escaped with his heart.
• Kin'emon introduced himself and asked the crew to find his upper body, and Sanji and the others recognized his voice from a Transponder Snail call.
• Robin asked about Luo’s note, and Luffy read that Torao wanted them to wait for him at the back of the mountain.
• The Straw Hat Crew set off for the back of the mountain while Luo entered the research facility carrying Smoker’s heart.

Luo returned to the laboratory with Smoker's heart and exchanged it for Monet's, while Vergo and Caesar continued their plans to produce SMILE. He then formed an alliance between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Heart Pirates to destroy the factory, take down Doflamingo, and ultimately defeat Kaido.

• Luo brought Smoker's heart to Vergo, Monet, and Caesar, who wanted to use the captured Marines for experiments.
• Monet traded her own heart for Smoker's, while Vergo and Caesar insisted that Luo still had to fulfill their agreement.
• Luo appeared before the Straw Hat Crew and proposed an alliance against Kaido, revealing that he wanted to reclaim his heart and oppose Joker.
• Luffy accepted the alliance immediately, and the Straw Hat Pirates and Heart Pirates agreed to defeat Kaido.
• The alliance chose to destroy the SMILE factory and then deal with Doflamingo, undermining Kaido's plans for the Beast Pirates.

Luo revealed that Doflamingo created the SMILE Artificial Devil Fruits and assigned the Straw Hat Crew and Moonlight their tasks in the laboratory. As Smoker led the G-5 Marines into action, Moonlight confronted Vergo, Monet, and Caesar in the monitoring room.

• Luo explained that destroying the laboratory’s SAD materials was the way to stop SMILE production and divided up the crew’s tasks, sending Moonlight after Vergo and his heart.
• Smoker reunited with the G-5 Marines, then led them through the laboratory to recover his heart and investigate the illegal activity.
• Vergo ordered the Centaur Patrol to deal with Smoker, rejected Monet’s suggestion to send the PH Unit, and prepared to confront the Marines himself.
• Moonlight used his Observation Haki to find the monitoring room and broke through its door to confront Vergo.
• Monet recognized that the PH Unit had not appeared and activated the control command to summon them.

Moonlight overwhelmed Vergo, took Luo’s heart, and broke through Monet’s attempts to contain him. Vergo and Caesar fled while Monet stayed behind to attack Moonlight, who pierced her chest with his sword.

• Vergo hardened himself with Armament Haki and charged Moonlight with his secret technique, Demon Bamboo.

• Vergo grabbed Caesar and fled as Monet attacked Moonlight with her bladed wings.
• Moonlight pierced Monet’s chest with his sword when she charged at him.

• Monet froze the area around Moonlight, but he cut her down and left to find Robin’s group.
• Vergo brought Caesar to the SAD Control Room and explained Moonlight’s strength before trying to report to Joker.
• Luo, Zoro, and Luffy interrupted Vergo’s call and attacked him and Caesar.
• Sanji’s cigarette smoke exposed Robin’s group, forcing them to flee from the PH Unit into the Biscuit Room.
• Robin’s group found unusually large children inside and rushed toward another door as their pursuers closed in.
