• Robin said a Poneglyph found in an underground fault in Alabasta recorded matters concerning Silvers Rayleigh, and reminded Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper that they had encountered it.

Moonlight revealed that Vivi was likely Pluton’s Ship Spirit, and the crew realized the Navy may have targeted Alabasta to seize her and reactivate the Ancient Weapon. Though everyone urged Vivi to hide, Luffy chose to rescue Cobra, and the crew affirmed that Vivi was their companion.

• Moonlight told Vivi that a Poneglyph linked her to Pluton as its Ship Spirit, and Robin explained that the Navy may have attacked Alabasta because it wanted to reactivate the weapon.

• Luffy declared that the crew would rescue Cobra because he was their friend, and Moonlight agreed to follow their captain’s decision.
• Nami recalled Vivi’s question about whether they would still call her their companion, and the crew showed their Alabasta marks as their answer.

Vivi chose to join the Straw Hat Pirates as a companion and travel with them toward Laugh Tale instead of going to Mary Geoise. As Rocks prepared to attack Mariejois and the Marines assembled to oppose him, the crew continued their search for Roger’s treasure, with Pluton’s return looming as a possibility.

• Vivi first urged the Straw Hat Pirates to sail to Mary Geoise, then changed her mind and chose to accompany them to Laugh Tale as a companion.

• The Straw Hat Pirates left Fish-Man Island and continued toward Laugh Tale, with Nami navigating past Wano Country toward the sea region indicated by the Road Poneglyph.

After leaving Wano, the Straw Hat Crew enjoyed three calm days at sea before Nami punished the noisy crew with a mix of snow, rain, and lightning. Moonlight sparred with Zoro, then challenged Luffy, Sanji, Brook, and Franky to attack him together so he could push himself to grow stronger.

• The crew complained about the calm weather and asked Nami to make snow, rain, and lightning, so she drenched, buried, and shocked Luffy, Chopper, Usopp, Brook, Jinbe, and Franky.

• Luffy, Sanji, Brook, and Franky accepted the challenge, confident that their improved abilities would let them defeat Moonlight.

• Usopp and Chopper fainted in fright, while Franky wondered whether the strange waters were the unavoidable route to Laugh Tale.

The Straw Hats were swept through the Edd War Sea and a mysterious white light into calm waters near a beautiful island. Sanji recognized fish from different seas and concluded they were close to All Blue and Laugh Tale.

• Nami found that the sea’s unpredictable currents and weather made the route chart useless, so the crew could not navigate to Laugh Tale.
• Moonlight identified the waters as the Edd War Sea, and Robin explained that Roger and Golden Lion Shiki had fought there.
• Moonlight warned the crew as the Thousand Sunny was swept toward a white light amid towering waves and storms.

• Moonlight said they were close to Laugh Tale, and Sanji concluded that the mixed marine life meant they were nearing All Blue.

The Straw Hats reached a strange sea where fish from all four Blues gathered, and Nami suspected it was All Blue. They held a picnic at Luffy’s chosen spot despite its foul animal droppings, while a world-shaking storm erupted elsewhere in the New World.

The Rocks Pirates launched a war against the World Government and broke through to Mary Geoise, where the Marines, rival pirate crews, and Revolutionary Army plunged into a sprawling battle. While Dragon and Sabo confronted the Five Elders in the Flower Room, the Straw Hat Crew wandered around an island far away.

• Rocks led the Rocks Pirates and several million pirates in a ten-day assault on Mary Geoise, with Uranus helping them break through the Marines and reach the Flower Room.
• Isaac attacked and severely wounded Big Mom, Ochoku, and Golden Lion, but Rocks used Uranus to force Isaac back before Garp and Sengoku arrived and struck the pirates.

• Dragon led the Revolutionary Army into the Flower Room, where Morley, Karasu, Belo Betty, and Lindbergh helped them confront the Five Elders alongside Dragon and Sabo.
• Far from Mary Geoise, Luffy led the Straw Hat Crew around an unfamiliar island after their picnic, insisting they explore it.

The Straw Hat crew sailed through calm waters for ten days and finally found Laugh Tale, a vast island suspended above a colossal whirlpool beneath a gigantic Divine Tree. Luffy ordered the crew to sail toward the island, where they hoped to find the One Piece and the answers to history.

• Usopp compared the plant-filled, lifeless island to the Boin Archipelago, while Luffy and Chopper wanted to hear his stories until Nami beat them into moving on.
• Robin wondered why the island had no living creatures, and Franky and Nami speculated that its unusual environment had made survival difficult.
• The crew continued across calm seas for ten days, with Luffy carefully watching the water as Nami guided their course.
• Nami announced that they had reached Laugh Tale, and the crew saw an island nestled among the roots of a colossal Divine Tree above an enormous vortex.
• The crew reacted to the sight of Laugh Tale, and Luffy ordered everyone to sail toward the island.

The Straw Hats navigated the Thousand Sunny through a dangerous Super Vortex toward the Divine Tree, which Robin and Moonlight identified as the likely source of Devil Fruits. After the whirlpool’s suction threatened to pull them into the abyss, Usopp secured the ship to the tree and helped Franky launch it toward Laugh Tale.

• Nami directed the crew as Jinbe and Franky steered the Thousand Sunny through the currents toward the Super Vortex.
• Jinbe and Franky used an enhanced Coup de Burst to break free of the whirlpool and fly over its abyss toward the Divine Tree.
• Moonlight described eight legendary trees that had led him to suspect Laugh Tale stood atop a Divine Tree, and Robin called the tree the Devil Fruit Tree.

• Usopp fired a rope and hook into the Divine Tree to hold the ship steady, giving Franky time to activate Coup de Burst again.
• The Thousand Sunny flew toward Laugh Tale, and the crew praised Usopp for saving them.

The crew reached Laugh Tale and discovered that the island’s Divine Tree weakened Devil Fruit Users. Moonlight identified the tree as the origin of Devil Fruits and Seastone, then confronted the hidden ruler Im, who revealed himself as the Sea Devil.

• Franky used Coup de Burst to send the Thousand Sunny to Laugh Tale, where the crew found an enormous ancient tree at the island’s center.
• Luffy, Brook, Robin, and Chopper collapsed from a force that restrained Devil Fruit Users, while the rest of the crew remained unaffected.
• Moonlight explained that the island’s land connected to the Divine Tree, which restrained Devil Fruit Users, and said Seastone came from the tree’s roots absorbing the ocean’s power.
• Moonlight said he and Robin had confirmed their theory about the legendary Devil Fruit Tree, then called out to World King Im and named him the Sea Devil.
• Im appeared in black robes, and Jinbe identified him as the hidden ruler above the Five Elders; Im confirmed that he was the Sea Devil.

Im revealed that she was the Sea Devil and confirmed Moonlight’s theory that she had defeated the Clan of D and used Devil Fruits to feed the Divine Tree. She then declared that she intended to destroy the world’s gathered forces at Mary Geoise, leaving Moonlight to decide what to do as Im plunged into the whirlpool.

• Im admitted that she was the Sea Devil, while Moonlight calmly said he had already guessed her identity.
• Moonlight claimed that Im had defeated the Clan of D and seized the era, and Im confirmed that Devil Fruits were nourishment for the Divine Tree.
• Im said the world was too weak to be worthy of slavery and that she had given it Devil Fruits only to make it more interesting.
• Moonlight drew the Kusanagi Sword as Im clarified that she had not come to duel him, but to reveal that she planned to destroy the world.
• Moonlight realized Ace and Sabo might be at Mary Geoise with the other forces, and Im asked what he would do before diving into the whirlpool.

After Im vanished into the Super Vortex, Moonlight and the others explored Laugh Tale and found the message Gol D. Roger had left for the next Pirate King. The letter contained only laughter, and the orange bundle held a Tone Dial that played the same laughter, leaving the meaning of One Piece unexplained.

• Im jumped into the Super Vortex and disappeared, while Nami wondered whether it led somewhere.
• Moonlight led the group onto Laugh Tale to investigate what Roger had left behind, while Robin reflected on the truth about the Sea Devil and the Celestial Dragons.
• Gale used Conqueror's Haki to stop the island's giant creatures, and the group reached an enormous Poneglyph at the island's center.
