Chapter Summaries

Vegapunk worried that the exposed Artificial Devil Fruit would force him to answer to the World Government, while Xie Wen and his companions cleared up a misunderstanding with a town and learned that the Whitebeard Pirates were heading to Wano. New wanted posters raised the stakes, and CP0 turned its attention to Kaido Meow after questioning Vegapunk.

• Vegapunk decided to accelerate research on Green Blood and the Seraphim to distract the World Government from the Artificial Devil Fruit.
• Xie Wen explained the situation to Sasha Meow and the townspeople, who welcomed his group and gave them newspapers.

• Klee Meow showed Xie Wen new wanted posters listing increased bounties for Klee, Purah, Suika Ibuki, Jinx, and Kaido.
• CP0 questioned Vegapunk about the Artificial Devil Fruit, then focused on Kaido Meow, leaving Vegapunk confused and exhausted.

Vegapunk fielded the World Government’s demands to clone Kaido and the Shichibukai, then began developing Green Blood and the Seraphim after hearing about Kaido Meow. Meanwhile, Xie Wen welcomed the Whitebeard Pirates’ fleet near Wano Country, as the chapter noted inconsistencies in Punk Hazard’s timeline.

• Vegapunk learned that the World Government believed Kaido Meow was a clone or replica of Kaido and questioned how he could have inherited Kaido’s combat experience and Haki.
• Vegapunk told the CP0 agent he could not clone Kaido or create another Azure Dragon fruit without more viable Kaido tissue, so the agent abandoned that request.
• Vegapunk explained his Green Blood research and Seraphim plans, satisfying the CP0 agent’s demand for a Shichibukai replacement project.
• After the CP0 agent left Egghead Island, Vegapunk eagerly began researching Green Blood and developing the Seraphim, driven by his interest in Kaido Meow and Meowrah.
• Xie Wen, finished exploring the island near Wano Country, welcomed the Whitebeard Pirates’ fleet.

Xie Wen reunited with Ace and Yamato, then joined Whitebeard and his crew for a banquet fueled by Suika Meow’s Ibuki Sake. The Whitebeard Pirates asked about Vegapunk and medical help, and Xie Wen offered to have Ai Haibara Meow examine Whitebeard.

• Ace greeted Xie Wen and Yamato, who revealed that he had joined the Palico Research Commission and chosen Kaido Meow as his new father.
• Xie Wen explained that he had left Wano Country to escape the Oden-obsessed followers, and Ace invited everyone to meet Whitebeard.
• Whitebeard tried to get Xie Wen to offer him Ibuki Sake, and Xie Wen called out his hint before Whitebeard’s sons helped him ask for the drink.
• Xie Wen had Suika Meow bring out barrels of Ibuki Sake, and Thatch brought food as the crews began a morning banquet.
• Ace, Marco, Vista, and other commanders asked Xie Wen about Vegapunk and medical technology, so Xie Wen offered Ai Haibara Meow to examine Whitebeard.

Whitebeard underwent treatment from Ai Haibara Meow while Teach tried to ingratiate himself with the cats and Xie Wen considered whether to warn Whitebeard about him. When the pirates crowded Ai Haibara Meow with questions, Vermouth released a potent potion that knocked most of them down, and Xie Wen assured Whitebeard it was a healing potion.

• Whitebeard agreed to enter Ai Haibara Meow's Medical Room after Xie Wen promised him extra Ibuki Sake.
• Teach and Jozu tried to win Klee Meow's affection, but she ignored them and settled into Xie Wen's arms.
• Xie Wen wondered why Klee Meow and Shirahoshi had not sensed malice from Teach, then decided he might privately warn Whitebeard and Ace.
• Teach joined Suika Meow, Kaido Meow, and Meow Jūshirō in drinking contests while Whitebeard received treatment.
• When the pirates crowded Ai Haibara Meow after she emerged with Whitebeard, she ordered Vermouth to spray them with a potent potion that felled Ace and the others, including Touma Meow.
• Xie Wen told Whitebeard and the remaining pirates that the potion was a healing treatment and the fallen pirates would recover.

Ai Haibara Meow explained that Whitebeard’s aging could not be reversed by ordinary treatment and offered temporary rejuvenation and cloning as alternatives. Whitebeard refused both, but accepted Kureha’s methods to extend his life while still drinking, then promised Ai another Zoan Devil Fruit after Wano Country.

• Ai Haibara Meow told Marco and Shirahoshi that Whitebeard’s body had aged severely and that Kureha’s methods could prolong his life but not restore his youth.
• Ai Haibara Meow described using a time-reversing Devil Fruit or a cloned body as unconventional treatment options, with serious drawbacks.
• Whitebeard rejected rejuvenation and cloning, saying he would accept his fate as a remnant of the old era.
• Ai Haibara Meow taught Marco Kureha’s health-maintenance methods, and the crew mourned before cheering when they learned Whitebeard could keep drinking while extending his life.
• Whitebeard promised Ai Haibara Meow a Zoan Devil Fruit after they visited Wano Country, while Sanji Meow challenged someone to a one-on-one fight.

Sanji Meow fought Ace in a rematch, using his Raid Suit and burst techniques to keep pace with Ace’s newly mastered Conqueror’s Coating. After Ace knocked him down and left him struggling to rise, an unfamiliar surge of Conqueror’s Haki erupted, leaving the fight’s outcome unresolved.

• Xie Wen learned that Ace had goaded Sanji Meow into fighting by mocking his bounty in front of the older Palico girls.
• Xie Wen let Ai Haibara Meow climb onto Whitebeard’s shoulder, delighting the pirate captain.
• Sanji Meow transformed into his Raid Suit and sent Ace flying with his opening kick.
• Ace revealed unstable Conqueror’s Coating and gained the advantage over Sanji Meow.
• Sanji Meow refused Sasha Meow’s suggestion to surrender and briefly suppressed Ace with burst techniques before being knocked down.
• As Xie Wen moved to retrieve the exhausted Sanji Meow, an unfamiliar surge of Conqueror’s Haki shot skyward.

Sasha Meow awakened an unusual form of Conqueror's Haki that she could share with others, boosting her allies and letting Sanji Meow coat his feet with it. Xie Wen realized the power could strengthen the entire Research Commission, though its limits remained unclear.

• Sasha Meow's Conqueror's Haki surged out, then returned to her while a smaller portion appeared around Sanji Meow.
• Sanji Meow used the borrowed Haki to recover and resume fighting Ace, but Xie Wen called them to stop and examine Sasha's new ability.
• Sasha Meow explained that she had shared her Haki because she wanted to help Sanji Meow, and Xie Wen asked her to try sharing it with others.
• Sasha Meow's Haki made Xie Wen and the cats feel energized and comfortable, while Ace said he had initially felt its pressure.
• Sasha Meow's Haki receded after granting Xie Wen a borrowed power he could use for an imperfect Conqueror's Coating.

Xie Wen and the cats tested Sasha Meow’s newly awakened Conqueror’s Haki, discovering how she could share it and how it affected allies and perceived enemies. The tests showed that its effects varied with Sasha Meow’s feelings toward each person, though the limits of its negative effects remained unknown.

• Xie Wen had Sasha Meow share her Conqueror’s Haki with Hua Mei Meow, who successfully used it for Conqueror’s Coating but could not combine it with her own Haki.
• Sasha Meow explained that she could currently share her Haki with only one person, and practice showed she could not release it and share it at the same time.
• Xie Wen tested whether Sasha Meow could direct her Haki at someone she disliked, but she could not feel hostile toward him, so they chose Ace instead.
• Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates described how Sasha Meow’s Haki felt, and Xie Wen concluded that its beneficial effects were stronger for people Sasha Meow liked, especially the Palicoes.

After a peaceful stretch at sea, Xie Wen’s crew found no takers for the replica Okuchi no Makami Devil Fruit, and Klee Meow asked him for a new story. Xie Wen chose to tell one inspired by Sasha Meow, leaving the tale about to begin.

• After the Whitebeard Pirates departed, Xie Wen and the cats left the island aboard the Toot Toot Forward.
• Sanji Meow smugly claimed that Sasha Meow had awakened her Conqueror’s Haki because of him, and Klee Meow and Dudu teased them about becoming family.
• Klee Meow retold Naruto the Cat to Sasha Meow and Yamato, adding her own details and captivating the crew.
• Whitebeard’s flag protected Wano Country, while Ai Haibara Meow’s experiment found that users of original Zoan Devil Fruits could eat replicas without harm or effect.
• The cats rejected the replica Okuchi no Makami Devil Fruit, and Xie Wen stored it away.
• At Klee Meow’s request for a new story, Xie Wen picked Sasha Meow as the model for Cat Warrior Seiya.

Xie Wen told the cats his improvised version of Saint Seiya, adapting its characters and factions to their world. The story ended with the Celestial Dragons cast as villains, while Xie Wen considered how it might serve as a public opinion weapon but decided it was too risky to publish for now.

• Xie Wen told the cats the Galaxian Arena Wars and Twelve Temples arcs, and Sasha Meow questioned Saori Kido's spoiled behavior before accepting his explanation that it served the plot.
• Xie Wen recast the Poseidon Arc's Mariners as Fish-Men, and he reassured an aggrieved Shirahoshi that Poseidon would later help the Saints.
• Xie Wen turned the Hades Arc's Specters into the Woof Woof Squad, prompting Yamato to object while Shirahoshi teased him about the change.
• Xie Wen continued through the Heaven Chapter and made the Celestial Dragons its villains, uniting the cats against them.
• Xie Wen considered publishing the story to wage a public opinion war but judged that the World Government would pressure Morgans and the World Economy News Paper over its contents.

Xie Wen watched the conflict between the Marines, Kaido, and Big Mom spread as each side searched for Vegapunk, while he stayed out of the fighting and shared intelligence with Kuma. The chapter ended when Shalmeow showed Xie Wen a singing girl on a Visual Den Den Mushi and asked to visit her.

• Pirates attacked Baldimore, but its strengthened defenses repelled them.
• Kaido and Big Mom jointly raided Marine bases, prompting Aokiji to redeploy Marines and call on the Shichibukai and Holy Knights.

• Shalmeow and Sasha Meow asked Xie Wen to choose a destination, and Shalmeow showed him a half-red, half-white-haired girl singing on a Visual Den Den Mushi.

Xie Wen learned that Uta was singing on Elegia and planned to take Shalmeow and Sasha Meow there to exchange ideas about music. While arranging travel, he told Morgans that Vegapunk was on Egghead Island in the New World, hoping to provoke a conflict between the World Government and the major pirates.

• Shalmeow told Xie Wen that a friend from the Music Club had shared Uta's singing, and she and Sasha Meow asked to visit her.

• Xie Wen explained Uta's existence to Morgans, who was surprised that anyone had survived Elegia's destruction.
• Morgans asked where Vegapunk was, and Xie Wen told him that Vegapunk was on Egghead Island in the second half of the Grand Line.
• Xie Wen hoped Morgans would pass the information to Kaido and Big Mom, drawing the World Government into a conflict in the New World.

Xie Wen received Elegia’s Eternal Pose and hurried toward the island to find Uta, while the escalating search for Vegapunk drew the Navy and pirate forces into pursuit. The Dudu crash-landed beside Uta as she practiced singing, and the pursuing forces were closing in behind them.

• A Winged Person delivered Elegia’s Eternal Pose to the Dudu, and Xie Wen decided to take the cats to find Uta.
• Morgans’s leak about Vegapunk’s location intensified the conflict as the Beasts-Big Mom Alliance and the Navy searched for Egghead Island.
• Xie Wen ordered the Dudu to transform into her Valstrax form and fly directly to Elegia.
• The Beasts-Big Mom Alliance, other opportunistic forces, and the Navy mistook the Dudu’s flight for a lead to Egghead Island and followed it.
• The Dudu crash-landed on the beach beside Uta as she practiced singing.

Xie Wen and his companions arrived on Elegia, where Uta and Gordon welcomed them as musical guests. After Klee Meow sensed that Gordon was hiding the truth and Uta was hurting, Morgans called Xie Wen and asked why he was on Egghead Island instead.

• Shalmeow and Sasha Meow befriended Uta and talked with her about music after the Toot Toot Forward arrived on Elegia.
• Gordon rushed over, saw that Uta was unharmed, and invited Xie Wen and the cats to explore the island and its musical collection.

• Klee Meow told Xie Wen that Gordon was lying and that Uta sounded deeply hurt, prompting Xie Wen to consider helping her understand the truth and the danger of the Music Demon.
• Morgans called Xie Wen and demanded to know why he had ended up on Egghead Island instead of Elegia.

After learning that a mistaken report had sent pirates and Marines toward Elegia, Xie Wen arranged a worldwide live concert with Uta to clear up the confusion. As the stage was built, the broadcast began just as the ships reached the island.

• Xie Wen learned from Morgans that pirates and Marines were heading to Elegia because informants had mistaken his destination for Egghead Island.

• Uta, Shalmeow, Sasha Meow, and Gordon performed “New Genesis,” then Klee Meow, Jinx Meow, Sanji Meow, Link Meow, Shirahoshi, Suika Meow, and the other little ones joined the show.
• Xie Wen had Meowrah film all of Elegia, leading viewers to recognize it as the Island of Music rather than Egghead Island.

• Shirahoshi envied Elegia’s new flag, and Xie Wen counted on Shanks to protect the island.

Xie Wen arranged for Morgans to publicize Elegia’s revival and assured Uta and Gordon that Shanks would not attack the island again. After Ai Haibara Meow identified the island’s mushrooms as well-known nulberries, Xie Wen realized Uta may have knowingly eaten them in dangerous amounts.

• Morgans called Xie Wen to celebrate the successful livestream, and Xie Wen asked him to publicize the Elegia revival plan.
• Morgans questioned whether Shanks would destroy Elegia again, and Xie Wen promised that Shanks would do him the favor of leaving it alone.

Xie Wen talked Uta out of the Moon Eye Plan and learned from Shanks that Uta was his daughter. Shanks headed for Elegia, but Xie Wen warned him not to approach Uta yet and learned that Klee had kept the Red Hair Pirates’ cook occupied.

• Xie Wen noticed Uta was drawn to the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but Little Plushie, Xie Wen, and the others persuaded her that the plan was dangerous.
• Shanks called Xie Wen, who challenged him about abandoning Elegia and leaving Uta with Gordon for over ten years.
• Shanks revealed that Uta was his daughter and said he had hidden the truth because he feared she would blame herself for Elegia’s destruction.
• Xie Wen warned Shanks that Uta might already know the truth and still hated pirates, so Shanks agreed to wait while Xie Wen spoke with Gordon and Uta.
• Shanks revealed that Klee had given something to the Red Hair Pirates’ cook, explaining why he had only just learned Xie Wen was in Elegia.

Xie Wen learned that Klee Meow’s bomb had injured Shanks and discovered that Uta was deeply upset after hearing her story. After explaining the truth behind Shanks’s decision to leave Uta, Xie Wen and the cats criticized him and learned that Gordon had kept the score that could summon a music demon.

• Xie Wen deduced that Klee Meow had given Lucky Roux a Compressed Jumpy Dumpty, and Shanks angrily confirmed that it had knocked him out for days before hanging up.

• Shalmeow asked Gordon about the score that could summon a music demon, and Gordon admitted he had kept it; the cats condemned him for holding on to it.

Gordon led Xie Wen and the cats to the underground ruin holding the score for Tot Musica, but Sasha Meow’s singing summoned the demon. After the group rescued Sasha, they prepared to fight Tot Musica as it grew more violent.

• Gordon used a musical-note badge to reveal the ancient score, while Robin deciphered the mural’s account of Tot Musica.
