• The cats settled in to watch the two Kaidos fight, and Robin invited a bewildered Yamato to join them.
• Robin told Yamato that Vegapunk had made Kaido Meow’s artificial Devil Fruit using Kaido’s lineage factor, then discussed the Poneglyphs with him.
• Kaido realized Vegapunk might be behind Kaido Meow’s abilities, and Kaido Meow explained that he had received his Devil Fruit from Xie Wen and had trained his fighting techniques himself.

• Yamato recognized the move and stood up, exclaiming that it was his technique.

Kaido Meow and Kaido clashed in a fierce battle, with Kaido Meow’s elemental weapon and monster powers briefly giving him the advantage. Kaido refused to back down, and the two resumed fighting with Kaido Meow drawing on Jhen Mohran and Ahtal-Ka powers.

• Kaido blocked Kaido Meow’s icy Himorogiri, but the weapon’s chill frosted his arms before he shook it off.
• Kaido Meow activated Wind and Thunder Serpent Dragon Mode and collided with Kaido’s Thunder Bagua, creating a shock wave that cleared the surrounding snow and knocked Kaido down first.

Xie Wen and Kozuki Hiyori confronted Kurozumi Orochi at Habu Port, where Shalmeow defeated his guards and subdued him. Xie Wen stopped Orochi from escaping, then injected him with a syringe, leaving his purpose unclear.

• Xie Wen and Kozuki Hiyori found Kurozumi Orochi loading treasure onto a ship at Habu Port, and Orochi mistook Hiyori for Komurasaki.
• Orochi offered Xie Wen a position as his bodyguard, but Shalmeow shocked him and Orochi called for his guards.
• Hiyori refused to reveal her identity and said Orochi's followers deserved to die, so Xie Wen told Shalmeow to take them down while leaving Orochi alive.

• Xie Wen trapped Orochi with a Seastone chain, returned him to human form, and injected him with a syringe.

• Kaido and Kaido Meow argued over Kaido's parenting before both unleashed powerful attacks against each other.

Kaido Meow awakened Conqueror’s Haki and gained the upper hand against Kaido, then continued fighting to hone his new power despite the strain. Yamato worried about him but stayed back after the cats assured him they would intervene if needed, and Klee Meow returned as the battle continued.

• Kaido Meow rose after the clash and realized he had awakened Conqueror’s Haki, using Conqueror’s Coating to gain a slight edge over Kaido.
• Kaido Meow attacked with Amatsu mode, and his water strike broke through Kaido’s blasts before Kaido stopped it with his club.
• Kaido Meow chose to fight without the Eight Calamity Ring’s abilities so he could practice Conqueror’s Coating, while Kaido attacked more fiercely, unaware of his opponent’s limits.

• Hua Mei Meow reported that Kaido Meow was nearly exhausted and unlikely to defeat Kaido, so Xie Wen ordered Kozuki Hiyori to evacuate Ringo and brought everyone aboard the Dudu.

• After Kaido transformed into a Blue Dragon and tried to break free, Xie Wen lifted the ban on Klee Meow, Suika Meow, and Jinx Meow.

Klee Meow, Jinx Meow, and Suika Meow combined their abilities to launch a giant explosive flame cat at Kaido. The blast left a mushroom cloud over Ringo, and Klee Meow celebrated while suggesting they could make the bomb even stronger.

• Suika Meow released the bomb’s size seal, and Klee Meow released its flame seal, transforming it into a giant golden flame cat.

• Xie Wen caught Touma Meow and steadied Kozuki Hiyori as a mushroom cloud rose over Ringo.
• Klee Meow apologized for forgetting to warn everyone to wear sunglasses, then celebrated the blast and proposed improving the bomb.

• Jinx Meow and Shirahoshi found no sign of Kaido, and Denjiro later reported that the Beasts Pirates were retreating.
• Klee Meow and Ai Haibara Meow found one of Kaido’s horns, and Xie Wen decided to have Ai turn it into a weapon.

After Kaido was driven from Wano Country, Xie Wen told Denjiro he intended to leave after receiving Enma, easing Denjiro’s fears but angering some samurai who distrusted the Kozuki Clan. Xie Wen then decided to go to the Flower Capital, where he planned to warn Issho about Wano Country’s future dangers and search for a Road Poneglyph.

• Samurai including Kikunojo arrived and mistook the enormous flooded landscape for evidence that Xie Wen had killed Kaido, but he told them Kaido would survive.
• Denjiro thanked Xie Wen, proposed discussing Wano Country’s next shogun, and secretly tested whether Xie Wen planned to take power.
• Xie Wen said he would leave after receiving Enma, easing Denjiro’s worries while making some samurai question whether the Kozuki Family deserved to rule.
• Ashura Doji objected to Hiyori giving Enma to Xie Wen, but Hiyori insisted she could decide what to do with her father’s sword, and Denjiro stopped Ashura Doji from pressing the matter.
• Issho said he would leave Wano Country once Kaido’s return was no longer a concern, and Xie Wen decided to tell him about dangers posed by the World Government.
• Xie Wen chose to head to the Flower Capital to settle in, warn Issho, and look for the Road Poneglyph.

Xie Wen warned Issho that the World Government might target Wano Country and offered him help as Issho chose to protect it. After briefly accepting and returning Gambler's Fireline, Xie Wen found Klee Meow riding Yamato in his Palamute-like beast form, and Yamato showed interest in joining the Research Commission.

• Klee Meow showed Xie Wen Yamato's Palamute-like beast form and asked him to invite Yamato to the Research Commission.
• Xie Wen noticed Yamato's hopeful looks toward him and a Maine Coon, and wondered whether Yamato wanted a new father.

Denjiro and the others returned with Enma and Tenguyama Hitetsu, who had come to judge Xie Wen’s intentions amid Wano’s dispute over the next shogun.

• Xie Wen revealed that Yamato wanted Kaido Meow to be his father, and Yamato openly said Kaido Meow felt more like a father than Kaido did.
• Kaido Meow objected that he was not even thirty, but Xie Wen suggested they could be siblings; Yamato still insisted on calling him father.
• Kaido Meow reluctantly accepted Yamato as his daughter while the Little Furball Cats teased them, and Shirahoshi, Yamato, Klee Meow, and the others crowded around him for affection.
• Denjiro, the other Nine Red Scabbards, and Kozuki Hiyori returned with Enma and Tenguyama Hitetsu.
• Xie Wen recognized Tenguyama Hitetsu as Kozuki Sukiyaki and realized Sukiyaki had come to assess his intentions as Wano debated whether the Kozuki Clan should rule again.

Xie Wen received Enma and met privately with Kozuki Sukiyaki beneath Wano’s ruined shogun’s castle. Sukiyaki revealed the Kozuki Clan’s inherited knowledge about Pluton and its location, while Xie Wen assured him he had no interest in the Ancient Weapon.

• Kozuki Hiyori introduced Tenguyama Hitetsu to Xie Wen, and Sukiyaki gave Xie Wen Enma while warning that only Kozuki Oden had ever tamed it.
• Xie Wen recognized Enma’s pull, mentioned meeting Shimotsuki Koshiro, and accepted Sukiyaki’s offer to trade his sword Iris for a private conversation.
• Xie Wen, Sukiyaki, and Robin entered a hidden basement, where Sukiyaki revealed his identity as Kozuki Oden’s father and asked about Xie Wen’s interest in the Poneglyphs and Pluton.
• Xie Wen assured Sukiyaki that he did not want Pluton, and Sukiyaki led Xie Wen and Robin to the Road Poneglyph and explained Wano’s submerged old city.
• Sukiyaki volunteered the Kozuki Clan’s method for releasing Pluton and its approximate location, while Xie Wen reflected on how readily the shogun trusted him.

Xie Wen waited for Wano Country’s samurai to decide who would become shogun while enjoying its festivals with the cats. Morgans then told him that Kaido had taken over Hachinosu and recruited Ochoku, complicating any plans Xie Wen might have to pursue him.

• Xie Wen reflected on the famous swords he had collected in Wano Country and received a Palico Summoning Ticket.

• Morgans revealed that Kaido had taken over Hachinosu and Ochoku had joined the Beasts Pirates, making Kaido’s forces stronger.

• Xie Wen told Morgans that his reporters in Wano may have been caught in the Little Girl’s explosion and explained what had happened.
• Xie Wen transmitted recordings of the two Kaidos’ battle and the Little Girl’s explosion to Morgans.

• Klee Meow proudly told Morgans that she and others had helped make the Little Girl, while Xie Wen asked him not to report the Dyna Stone.
• Xie Wen ended the call and took Klee Meow to scoop goldfish at the Wano festival.

Xie Wen left Wano Country with the cats after Shimotsuki Yasuie became shogun, and Yamato joined them as they set off for their next destination. With Hachinosu no longer a worthwhile target, Xie Wen let Klee Meow choose a route using the Log Pose.

• Shimotsuki Yasuie became Wano Country's new shogun, and Xie Wen departed after saying goodbye to Issho and Kozuki Hiyori.
• Klee Meow lamented that she still had not caught a goldfish, and Xie Wen cheered her up as Dudu asked where they would go next.
• Yamato questioned Dudu about her identity, and Baby 5 explained that Dudu was their ship's special Klabautermann.
• Dudu called Yamato an idiot for admiring Kozuki Oden, and Yamato weakly replied that he no longer wanted to become Oden.
• Xie Wen decided against visiting Hachinosu because Kaido's Beasts Pirates had taken it over and Ochoku had joined them.
• Xie Wen took out the Log Pose and asked Klee Meow to choose one of its three needles for their next destination.

Xie Wen found that two Mythical Zoan Cat-Made Devil Fruits yielded no Summon Ticket Fragments and considered whether Yamato could safely eat a second artificial fruit. While Ai Haibara Meow prepared to test the risk on Lulu, Xie Wen convinced Touma Meow to eat a Yamata no Orochi Fruit despite his worries about transforming into an ugly snake.

• Xie Wen examined artificial copies of the Yamata no Orochi and Okuchi no Makami Fruits and found that neither had earned him Summon Ticket Fragments.
• Yamato wondered if she could eat a second artificial Okuchi no Makami Fruit, so Ai Haibara Meow decided to test the risks on Lulu.
• Xie Wen offered Touma Meow the Yamata no Orochi Fruit, explaining that it could give him strong defenses and eight lives.
• Klee Meow's question about the fruit making Touma Meow ugly made him hesitate, but Xie Wen urged him to choose between his looks and his safety.
• Touma Meow agreed to eat the fruit and immediately complained about its awful taste.

Xie Wen summoned a new Palico after the Dudu crashed into a Beasts' Pirates-affiliated island, but the golden summoning light revealed a Shakalaka instead of the expected spear-wielding Palico. The chapter ended with Xie Wen seeing the mysterious newcomer for the first time.

• Touma Meow transformed into an eight-headed Yamata no Orochi, tangled his heads and tails, and returned to his Palico form after Xie Wen reminded him to undo the transformation.
• Klee Meow urged the Dudu to speed toward the island, and the ship crashed ashore, damaging the dock and frightening the locals who mistook it for an attack by the Sapphire Star.
• Xie Wen noticed the Beasts' Pirates flag over the town and decided to summon a new Palico while the frightened residents stayed away.
• Yamato tried and failed to use the Palico Summoning Ticket, which changed into a silver-white design bearing a V-shaped pattern that Xie Wen associated with a Lancer.
• Klee Meow chose a spear-wielding Palico, and Xie Wen activated the ticket; its light turned golden and revealed a Shakalaka.

Xie Wen welcomed Sasha Meow, a Palico modeled after Athena’s previous incarnation, who had been trapped among the Shakalaka for years. After comforting her, he learned how she had survived there and why she had been unable to leave.

• Xie Wen recognized the masked newcomer as a Palico, and Sasha Meow removed her Shakalaka mask and said she was relieved to stop pretending to be one of them.
• Xie Wen picked up and comforted Sasha Meow as she broke down crying, while Sanji Meow declared himself her faithful knight.
• Klee Meow, Sanji Meow, Ai Haibara Meow, and Yamato questioned Sasha Meow, who calmly answered them and revealed her name.
• Sasha Meow explained that she had been an apprentice Felyne Companion who became separated from her group after they encountered a newly hatched Xeno'jiiva.
• Sasha Meow said she had survived by wearing a special Shakalaka priest's mask, but the tribe's protection and her role as their priest had kept her there until Xie Wen summoned her.

News of Xie Wen and the Palico Research Commission’s power spread among the world’s major forces, while Vegapunk drew the attention of Big Mom and Marshall D. Teach. Shanks was caught in the blast of Klee Meow’s bomb, and Teach began plotting to capture Vegapunk.

• The Red Hair Pirates read the report about the battle in Wano, and Lucky Roux revealed that Klee Meow had given him a compressed Jumpy Dumpty.
• Shanks squeezed the bomb for ten seconds and tossed it, whereupon it exploded and sent the Red Hair Pirates rushing to save him.
• Big Mom considered how to recruit Vegapunk, and Perospero suggested asking Du Feld, who had once funded the scientist.
