Sakazuki destroyed the replica ancient robots on Fapoket Island and began searching for the disguised Revolutionary Army members, unaware they had escaped. The Five Elders prioritized the island’s apparent connection to Nika, but their orders reached Kuzan after he had already sent reinforcements toward Egghead Island, where the Revolutionary Army was attacking.
The Revolutionary Army gained the upper hand on Egghead Island as Sengoku and Aramaki struggled to contain its commanders and troops. Cat Princess intercepted Kizaru, while the Five Elders decided to erase Fapoket Island and its occupants rather than divert reinforcements from Egghead.
The Five Elders sent Saint Mars to Egghead Island to prepare for Uranus’s arrival, while Xie Wen and the Revolutionary Army made plans to blunt the Ancient Weapon’s threat. Shalmeow detected Uranus approaching as Akainu’s forces withdrew, leaving Xie Wen’s group ready for its arrival.
Xie Wen and the cats watched Uranus erase Fapoket Island, then launched Klee Meow’s upgraded Little Girl at the Ancient Weapon. The bomb detonated near Uranus, leaving the Revolutionary Army blinded and the weapon’s fate unclear.
Dragon helped the Revolutionary Army begin its planned withdrawal as the Five Elders arrived on Egghead, while Cat Princess turned the mirror she had pulled from beneath her clothes against Kizaru’s light attacks. After knocking Kizaru from the sky, she joined the fight and charged at Saint Mars.
Cat Princess fought the Five Elders on Egghead Island, using bizarre attacks to blow four of them apart before revealing she had survived. As Dragon led the Revolutionary Army’s retreat, Cat Princess unleashed another enormous attack to delay their pursuers.
After the Five Elders failed to stop the Cat Can, they blamed the Marines and ordered Garp arrested before rushing back to answer Imu’s summons. Dragon’s group escaped, and Dragon contacted Sabo to check on Xie Wen’s side, where Xie Wen claimed the chaos came from a Flash Bomb.
Xie Wen’s group attacked Sakazuki’s fleet after Uranus escaped, and Klee Meow engulfed the Marines in blue flames. Klee Meow confronted the injured Sakazuki while Xie Wen watched for a chance to obtain his Devil Fruit.
Klee Meow confronted Sakazuki and proved her blue flames could burn through his magma, then defeated him with summoned beasts. Xie Wen arrived, comforted Klee, and incapacitated the exhausted Sakazuki with a Seastone dagger.
Xie Wen exchanged prisoners with the Revolutionary Army and reunited with Cat Princess, whose Ex-catlibur summoned a swarm of Neco-Arcs. After leaving the Marines with Dragon, Xie Wen received an angry call from Vegapunk about Cat Princess and the Five Elders.
After the feast, Xie Wen confronted his prisoner Sakazuki with Robin and killed him. He extracted the Magma-Magma Fruit, which turned out to look like a chili pepper.
Xie Wen offered the Magma-Magma Fruit to his cats, but Ai Haibara Meow declined because its destructive power would not help her research. Hua Mei Meow ate it, and after Klee Meow awkwardly joked about her temper, Hua Mei asked Shalmy to help her learn to use her new ability.
Xie Wen received the latest newspapers and bounty posters, learning that the Revolutionary Army’s five-country uprising had met little resistance and that the World Government still had not responded to Fapoket Island’s destruction. The chapter left him reviewing rising bounties and noticing that Luffy and his crew were forming much as they had in the original story.
Dragon planned a cautious operation in Saint Mary Geoise to rescue the slaves and destroy the Celestial Dragons’ food stores while probing the World Government’s response. After discussing an underground infiltration, Xie Wen and the cats agreed to test whether Uranus had been repaired once the slaves were safe.
Xie Wen and the Revolutionary Army waited until night to attack Saint Mary Geoise, freeing slaves before Klee Meow summoned Lunastra to set the Celestial Dragons’ settlement ablaze. Saint Figarland Garling and the Holy Knights counterattacked, and Xie Wen entered the fight against Garling.
Xie Wen fought Saint Garling and Saint Saturn while his allies dealt with the World Government’s Elemental Beasts. He joined with Klee Meow to unleash a destructive flame attack on Saint Saturn.
Xie Wen and Klee Meow appeared to destroy Saint Saturn with blue-violet flames, but the Five Elder returned intact as a black Magic Circle activated. The battle across Saint Mary Geoise continued, with Xie Wen's side holding an advantage until the World Government's mysterious reinforcements arrived.
Xie Wen and Meowrah tried to seal Saint Saturn after learning that ordinary attacks could not kill him. Meowrah captured and incapacitated him with a snow barrier, Seastone net, and seawater, while Klee Meow held Kuzan off.
Xie Wen and the Revolutionary Army prepared to withdraw after rescuing the slaves, while their allies fought the Holy Knights and Marines to clear the way for Klee Meow to plant her bomb in Saint Mary Geoise. Xie Wen stole Saint Nusjuro’s sword and joined the effort to bring down Saint Mars, the only flying Elder.
Xie Wen and the cats attacked the Five Elders while Klee Meow sent a nuclear bomb toward Pangaea Castle. When the Five Elders teleported in to stop it, the group detonated the bomb and fled into a tunnel as the Cat Princess’s enormous Cat Can struck; Xie Wen glimpsed a demon-like figure in the damaged castle.
Xie Wen and Dragon discussed whether Imu’s devil-like appearance and powers came from a Devil Fruit or ancient technology, and agreed the Revolutionary Army would have to defeat Imu regardless. Xie Wen then discovered Saint Saturn’s transformed body had been summoned away, leaving only a skeleton in Meowrah’s Sheikah Sphere, and found he was too late to claim anything from it.
After Xie Wen and the Revolutionary Army escaped the attack on Mary Geoise, they discussed exposing Imu and returned to their ship with the rescued slaves. Dragon worried about feeding the growing army, so Ai Haibara Meow proposed using food-related Devil Fruit Lineage Factors to help supply them and strengthen their forces.
Ai Haibara Meow explained the risks of replacing blood to reproduce Devil Fruit abilities, and Dragon and the rescued slaves showed interest in volunteering. Sabo volunteered to be the first recipient and asked for a combat-focused ability, while Ai Haibara Meow revealed she had Whitebeard's power available.
Sabo chose the String-String Fruit instead of asking Whitebeard for the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, while Ai Haibara Meow discovered that Klee and Vodka had tampered with her laboratory. Xie Wen then learned from Morgans that the attack had devastated Saint Mary Geoise and arranged for Imu’s existence to be spread secretly.
After Ai Haibara Meow warned that Saturn might have survived, Xie Wen and Dragon decided to investigate before changing their plans against the World Government. Xie Wen settled at Baltigo while rumors about Imu spread, and Ai Haibara Meow's laboratory was completed as Sabo and other Revolutionary Army members prepared for blood exchange operations.
