Chapter Summaries

Doflamingo recovered from Kaido’s beating and feared Su Yu might discover he had arranged the attack on the bar. A month later, Marco arrived at Su Yu’s bar seeking help for Whitebeard’s worsening condition, and asked the other patrons to leave.

• Doflamingo realized Kaido had beaten him after being sent to attack Su Yu, and worried that Su Yu would learn he was behind the bar’s destruction.
• Doflamingo considered sending Su Yu gifts to smooth things over, unaware Su Yu had already marked him for death because his men had bullied Su Yu’s child.
• A month later, Marco came to Su Yu’s bar, hoping Su Yu could help Whitebeard as his health deteriorated.
• Marco asked the pirates in the bar to leave, and they departed, leaving Marco, Miland, and Su Yu alone.

Marco sought a way to restore Whitebeard’s health, and Su Yu offered to heal him or return him to his prime in exchange for Devil Fruits. Before Marco could choose, Blackbeard entered the bar, and Marco confronted him with open hostility.

• Su Yu asked Marco what he wished for, and Marco said he wanted to restore Whitebeard’s vitality.
• Su Yu offered to heal Whitebeard for five Devil Fruits or restore him to his prime for ten, including at least two Logia Devil Fruits.
• Marco decided he wanted Su Yu to restore Whitebeard to his prime.
• Blackbeard entered the bar, and Marco clenched his fists and confronted him.

Blackbeard arrived at Su Yu’s bar and provoked Marco by mocking Whitebeard’s condition. Su Yu stopped their impending fight by sealing their Devil Fruit powers, then asked whether Blackbeard had come for a drink or to make a wish.

• Marco recognized Blackbeard and grew furious when he called Whitebeard “Pops.”
• Blackbeard taunted Marco about Whitebeard reaching his limit, and the two prepared to fight.
• Su Yu coughed, overwhelming both men and sealing their Devil Fruit powers.
• Marco and Blackbeard apologized to Su Yu, and their powers returned.
• Su Yu asked Blackbeard whether he wanted a drink or had a wish.

Blackbeard came to scout Su Yu, hoping to learn whether the man who had effortlessly beaten Kaido could be countered by his Dark-Dark Fruit. After Su Yu’s cough frightened him, Blackbeard masked his fear with a joke, but remained desperate to find a way to pursue his ambition.

• Blackbeard claimed he had come to try the wine, though he had actually come to investigate Su Yu.
• Blackbeard recalled fleeing Whitebeard after betraying him and explained that he had spent twenty years building a plan to rule the world.
• After reading news of Su Yu defeating Kaido, Blackbeard feared Su Yu’s strength was beyond anything he could measure.
• Blackbeard hoped Su Yu’s power came from a Devil Fruit that his Dark-Dark Fruit could nullify, so he decided to test him in person.
• Blackbeard tried to provoke Marco into attacking, and Su Yu’s response exceeded his expectations.
• Su Yu’s cough terrified Blackbeard, who then gave a stiff smile and repeated that he had come for the wine.

Blackbeard fled after realizing Su Yu could suppress his Devil Fruit, then set his sights on Pluton as a way to gain power. Meanwhile, Marco accepted Su Yu’s offer to restore Whitebeard to his prime, and Su Yu sealed a life-filled orb inside an apple for him to take to Whitebeard.

• Su Yu sent Blackbeard downstairs for a drink and took Marco upstairs, while Blackbeard hid his fear and drained several drinks before leaving.
• Blackbeard hurried to his ship and decided to seek Pluton, though he did not abandon his original ambition.
• Su Yu offered Marco the choice of healing Whitebeard’s illness or restoring him to his prime, and Marco chose the latter.
• Su Yu named a price of ten Devil Fruits, including at least two Logia, and gathered a vast amount of vital energy as Marco felt his own body improve.
• Su Yu placed the green orb inside an apple so Marco could carry it to Whitebeard.

Marco took Su Yu’s restorative apple back to Whitebeard on credit, while Doflamingo’s search for Pluton led to an attempted apology at Su Yu’s bar. Diamante left empty-handed after Su Yu ordered him out.

• Su Yu gave Marco an apple for Whitebeard and allowed him three months to pay with Devil Fruits.
• Marco left the bar, failed to find Blackbeard, and flew home to deliver the apple.
• Doflamingo offered a bounty for clues to Pluton, prompting the World Government to summon him and then tacitly permit the search.
• A week earlier, Doflamingo had sent Diamante to Su Yu’s bar with gifts as an apology.
• Su Yu refused to hear Diamante out and forced him to leave.

Doflamingo pinned his hopes on finding Pluton to protect himself from Su Yu. On the Moby Dick, Marco gave Whitebeard a special apple, which transformed him and began healing his injuries and restoring his strength.

• Doflamingo decided to seek Pluton because he feared Su Yu would eventually come for him.
• Marco returned to the Moby Dick and offered Whitebeard an apple he had obtained for him.
• Whitebeard ate the apple despite Jozu's warning, and his body began glowing green and turning translucent.
• Marco stopped Jozu from rushing at Whitebeard and told him to stay calm.
• Whitebeard reassured the crew as the apple's warmth healed his old injuries and made his body feel as strong as it had in his prime.

Whitebeard recovered his strength and tested his restored power with a devastating punch that triggered a Seaquake. The Moby Dick survived the waves, while a Marine surveillance boat was destroyed, leaving its crew stranded but alive.

• Whitebeard rose, breathed in the sea air, and realized his lungs, heart, and muscles had returned to vigorous health.
• Whitebeard punched the air, unleashing a shock wave that caused a Seaquake across the ocean.
• Marco took flight as the Seaquake rocked the Moby Dick, while Jozu and the others clung to the ship.
• The Seaquake wrecked a distant Marine surveillance boat, but its crew survived on scattered planks and one Marine kept a Den Den Mushi.
• Whitebeard laughed and celebrated the rush of using his full strength again.

After eating Marco’s apple, Whitebeard regained his youthful prime, and Marco explained that Su Yu had provided it in exchange for ten Devil Fruits. Whitebeard sent his crew to find two Logia fruits, while Fleet Admiral Sengoku remained baffled by reports of Whitebeard’s sudden outburst.

• Whitebeard discovered that the apple had restored his hair, healed his scars, and returned his body to its prime.
• Marco told Whitebeard that Su Yu had supplied the apple, and Whitebeard recognized that Su Yu was far stronger than he was.
• Whitebeard ordered his crew to find two Logia Devil Fruits to complete the deal with Su Yu.
• Surveillance agents reported Whitebeard’s sudden punch at the sea to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who could not explain his behavior.

Miland completed a month of study and grueling combat training with Su Yu, greatly improving his knowledge and strength but remaining short of being able to reliably defeat Doflamingo. Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates found one Logia Devil Fruit by chance, and after weeks of fruitless searching, a turning point appeared.

• Miland finished studying the extensive collection of books Su Yu had prepared, sharpening his mind and gaining broad knowledge.
• Su Yu trained Miland against a Phantom slightly stronger than him, while secretly taking unflattering photos of his repeated defeats.
• After a month, Miland had grown much stronger, though Su Yu judged that he still had a gap to close before he could steadily defeat Doflamingo.
• A Whitebeard Pirates search team discovered a Logia Devil Fruit on a small island after fighting a huge snake guarding it.
• The Whitebeard Pirates found no more Devil Fruits during the following weeks, until a turning point finally appeared.
