Chapter Summaries

Saint Dio took Ayame to bed while Stussy learned about Mima Karyotori and set out to make him a villain. Stussy found Mima with the Hunters and incapacitated him, leaving his companions in alarm.

• Ayame came to Saint Dio in the hot spring, and he later brought her to his bedroom.
• Stussy stopped Mumei from investigating Ayame's screams and questioned her about her elder brother, Mima Karyotori.
• Stussy used reconnaissance bats to locate Mima and decided he would serve as an enemy for the people to fear.
• Stussy's bat bit Mima at the Hunters' camp, and he collapsed unconscious.
• The Hunters gathered around Mima, panicking at his condition.

Mima Karyotori ordered an operation as Kongoukaku received refugees fleeing coordinated Kabane attacks, and Munechika Shikishima asked Saint Dio to protect the last surviving stronghold. Saint Dio agreed to act, and after the refugees were settled, a small figure slipped onto the city wall under cover of night.

• Mima Karyotori awoke and ordered his people to begin the operation.
• Armored trains brought refugees and supplies to Kongoukaku as reports revealed that station cities had fallen in a coordinated assault aimed at the fortress.
• Munechika Shikishima concluded that Kongoukaku's food reserves would last only three days and led the station city overseers to ask Saint Dio for help.
• Saint Dio kept the overseers waiting, then heard Munechika Shikishima's report and promised to act.
• The refugees received temporary shelter, food, and water, and a small figure quietly climbed onto Kongoukaku's wall at night.

Mima Karyotori betrayed Mumei by having her open Kongoukaku’s drawbridge for a Kabane-filled train, then unleashed a giant Kabane aggregate against the city walls. As the fortress fell into chaos, Sandersonia and Marigold fought the aggregate while Ayame discovered her father and the other leaders had been killed.

• Mima Karyotori persuaded Mumei to lower Kongoukaku’s drawbridge, allowing a train loaded with Kabane to crash into the city.
• Mumei fought the invading Kabane, while Sandersonia and Marigold transformed and held the platform passage as civilians evacuated.
• Mima Karyotori injected Mebiki with black liquid, causing her to merge with nearby Kabane into a giant aggregate that smashed through Kongoukaku’s wall.
• Sandersonia and Marigold attacked the self-healing aggregate, but it regenerated its limbs and wounds and forced Sandersonia back.
• Ayame saw that Kabane had invaded and found Munechika Shikishima impaled in the hall among the dead station city leaders.

After Munechika Shikishima was killed, Ayame and Mumei escaped and tried to save Kongoukaku as Saint Dio arrived to control the panicked crowd and destroy the Kabane. Mumei drove her transformed brother Mima Karyotori into a gunpowder warehouse, where she prepared to face him.

• Mima Karyotori killed Munechika Shikishima, and Mumei rescued Ayame from the hall before they separated to respond to the crisis.
• Ayame tried to rally Kongoukaku’s fleeing civilians, but Saint Dio used Conqueror’s Haki to quiet the crowd so she could organize an evacuation.
• Saint Dio transformed Jörmungandr into a giant serpent and used its green mist to dissolve the advancing Kabane.
• Mumei used Soru to shoot Mima Karyotori, but he injected black fluid that covered him in armor and made him immune to her bullets.
• Mumei lured Mima Karyotori into a gunpowder warehouse, shot through the floor to drop him among the explosives, and told him goodbye.

After consolidating Kongoukaku under Saint Dio’s influence, he left that world and set his sights on Wano Country to acquire Ryuo and valuable Devil Fruits. He arrived by ship with Mumei and told Stussy that Wano was their next destination.

• Stussy’s engineered invasion ended in an explosion that destroyed the Kabane Aggregate and helped establish Saint Dio’s standing as a god among the survivors.
• Ayame Yomogawa became Kongoukaku’s supreme leader, organized recovery and rebuilding, and received five Zoan Devil Fruits from Saint Dio for a defense squad.

• Saint Dio left the rebuilt settlement and boarded his waiting ship with Mumei, who excitedly explored the ocean and ate a lavish meal.
• Saint Dio told Stussy that they were heading to Wano Country to pursue advanced Armament Haki and Devil Fruits held by the Kurozumi Clan.

Saint Dio planned to reach Wano Country and Fish-Man Island in secret, but on the way back to Mary Geoise he intervened when Vice Admiral Tsuru pursued Donquixote Doflamingo. The Five Elders approved his request to let Doflamingo go, while privately reflecting on their reasons for tolerating Saint Dio and keeping Stussy near him.

• Saint Dio planned to travel secretly to Wano Country and visit Fish-Man Island in search of the Mark-Mark Fruit.
• After spotting Donquixote Doflamingo’s flamingo-shaped ship being chased by Vice Admiral Tsuru, Saint Dio ordered his ship to intervene.
• Saint Dio sent Stussy to ask Vice Admiral Tsuru to let Doflamingo’s pirate ship go, and Tsuru referred the request to Fleet Admiral Kong.
• Fleet Admiral Kong consulted the Five Elders, who approved Saint Dio’s request and ordered Tsuru to let Doflamingo pass.
• The Five Elders discussed their permissive attitude toward Saint Dio, noting Lord Imu’s interest in him and Stussy’s value as an intelligence operative.

Saint Dio recruited Doflamingo as his Underworld intermediary, demanding help with the arms trade and a Devil Fruit each year. After Doflamingo agreed, Saint Dio ordered Stussy to monitor him and took Hancock to his bedroom.

• Vice Admiral Tsuru withdrew her warship after receiving orders, leaving Stussy to approach Doflamingo's ship.

• Doflamingo agreed to cooperate, and Saint Dio assigned Stussy to track his organization and personnel.
• Saint Dio explained his interest in Doflamingo's connections, including his potential ties to the Op-Op Fruit, then led Hancock into his bedroom.

Saint Dio returned to the Sabaody Archipelago, evaded a summons from the Five Elders, and began looking for a famous pirate crew to take him onward. In District 16, he led his group to a weapon shop so Mumei could choose a weapon.

• Stussy saw Hancock serving Saint Dio in his cabin, then reported that the ship had reached the Red Line.
• Saint Dio resupplied at Mary Geoise and departed before a Cipher Pol Aigis Zero agent sent by the Five Elders could meet him.

• Sandersonia and Marigold cleared the weapon shop of pirates, and Saint Dio told Mumei to choose a weapon.

Saint Dio and his companions confronted a pirate crew in the Sabaody Archipelago after the weapons shopkeeper tried to overcharge him. Sandersonia, Marigold, Mumei, and Hancock defeated the attackers, while Mumei chose to cripple a pirate rather than kill him.

• Saint Dio recognized the weapons shopkeeper's scheme and waited as the shopkeeper summoned help.
• A pirate captain arrived, threatened Saint Dio's group, and ordered his crew to attack.

• Several pirates attacked Saint Dio, but Mumei shot one in the limbs and Hancock petrified two others with Perfume Femur.
• Saint Dio asked why Mumei had spared her target, and she said crippling him would stop him from doing bad things.

Saint Dio targeted Blamenco and the Pocket Pirates to obtain the Pocket-Pocket Fruit. Hancock shattered Blamenco’s weapon with her Devil Fruit power, leaving her poised to attack him.

• Saint Dio and his group left the weapons shop after he killed the pirates and took the weapons, while the shop owner planned to claim the bounty on the severed head.
• Saint Dio freed Stussy’s messenger bat, followed it to Area 26, and declined Hancock’s offer to revisit the ruins.
• Stussy identified Blamenco of the Pocket Pirates as a Pocket-Pocket Fruit user, and Saint Dio decided to take the fruit.
• Saint Dio’s group boarded the Pocket Pirates’ ship, where he assigned Hancock to fight Blamenco and ordered Sandersonia and Marigold to deal with the other pirates.
• Blamenco pulled a giant mallet from his cheek pouch and attacked Hancock, but she petrified and shattered the mallet with Perfume Femur before preparing another strike.

Saint Dio defeated Blamenco, gave Mumei the Pocket-Pocket Fruit’s ability through a ring, and ordered the captured pirates to sail for Fish-Man Island. After Jörmungandr killed a giant deep-sea fish, the ship reached the island, where Saint Dio ordered the crew to ram through its bubble membrane instead of using the official entrance.

• Hancock petrified Blamenco with her Love-Love Fruit and shattered his head with a kick, while Sandersonia and Marigold subdued the remaining pirates.

• Saint Dio gave the ring to Mumei, who tested its storage ability by putting away the weapon crates and retrieving a flintlock pistol.
• Saint Dio ordered the captured pirates to take the ship to Fish-Man Island, and the vessel descended beneath the sea inside its coating bubble.
• Jörmungandr killed a giant deep-sea fish that attacked the ship, and Saint Dio wondered whether such a creature could be used to make a Devil Fruit.
• When the ship reached Fish-Man Island, Saint Dio ordered the helmsman to ram the island’s bubble membrane rather than enter through the official entrance.

Saint Dio entered Fish-Man Island by forcing his way through its protective membranes and drew the Neptune Army’s attention after locals spotted his group. He stopped at a restaurant to sample the island’s food, where the Neptune Army confronted him and his companions.

• Saint Dio and his companions crossed Fish-Man Island’s inner membrane after the pirate ship crashed between the two barriers.
• The Neptune Army arrested the pirates, and one pirate revealed that his boss was already on the island; a resident then reported suspicious humans near Coral Hill.

• Saint Dio ordered every dish on the menu and the island’s specialty liquor while Stussy, Hancock, Sandersonia, Marigold, and Mumei ate with him.
• A Neptune Army squad entered the restaurant, cleared the other customers, sealed the exits, and asked Saint Dio’s group to come in for questioning.

Saint Dio’s group fought the Neptune Army on Mermaid Street, and Neptune arrived to confront Sandersonia and Marigold outside the restaurant. As the two sisters struggled to hold off the king, Hancock blocked the elite soldiers from reaching Queen Otohime inside.

• Sandersonia and Marigold defeated the Neptune Army soldiers at the restaurant while Saint Dio ordered them not to hurt anyone.
• A fleeing soldier reported the disturbance to Neptune, who learned that Queen Otohime had gone to the restaurant and rushed to Mermaid Street.
• Neptune confronted Sandersonia and Marigold at the entrance, and their combined strength barely held back his trident.

• Saint Dio and Otohime went outside and stopped the battle, where Otohime introduced him to Neptune as a Celestial Dragon.
• Neptune realized he had fought the Celestial Dragon’s guards and feared that Fish-Man Island could face the World Government’s wrath.

Saint Dio learned that Mumei could sense hostility and identified Hody Jones among Neptune’s guards, then ordered Stussy to eliminate him and find an octopus fish-man who had eaten the Mark-Mark Fruit. The chapter then explained the fruit’s tracking ability and limitations.

• Neptune apologized to Saint Dio and welcomed him and his party to Ryugu Palace, where Queen Otohime told Neptune about their agreement.
• Saint Dio explained to Stussy that Queen Otohime could read thoughts with Observation Haki, and he visited Hancock, Mumei, Sandersonia, and Marigold during their training.
• Mumei sensed hostility from Hody Jones, and Saint Dio recognized him as a future threat to Queen Otohime and Fish-Man Island.
• Saint Dio ordered Stussy to kill Hody Jones without leaving evidence and to find an octopus fish-man who had eaten the Mark-Mark Fruit.
• Saint Dio considered the Mark-Mark Fruit, whose user could mark living targets by touching their skin and make thrown objects pursue them, subject to several limitations.

Saint Dio’s collection of Devil Fruits expanded as Stussy killed Hody Jones, then she searched Fish-Man Island for an octopus Fish-Man. At the palace, Saint Dio relaxed in a hot spring with Hancock and Mumei, while Stussy found a possible lead in Fish-Man District.

• Stussy entered Hody Jones’s room, subdued him with her bats, drained his blood, and had his corpse carried away.

• Stussy searched Fish-Man Island for an octopus Fish-Man who had eaten a Devil Fruit but found no information from the mermaids she questioned.
• An elderly mermaid directed Stussy to Fish-Man District, where Stussy spotted a young mermaid carrying a crystal ball and chose her as a possible source of information.

Stussy found Shyarly and brought her to Saint Dio, who learned that she could prophesy a world-spanning war eighteen years in the future. After asking Shyarly to join her, Saint Dio set out to find Vander Decken IX near Noah.

• Stussy lured Shyarly into answering questions about Vander Decken IX with pastries and brought her to Ryugu Palace.
• Shyarly used her crystal ball to predict a devastating war that would sweep across the world in eighteen years.

• Stussy offered Shyarly a chance to learn and see a wider world, and Shyarly listened as she ate dinner.
• Saint Dio used a bubble to travel through the deep sea and headed to the palace hall to find Neptune.

Saint Dio traveled to the Noah, defeated Vander Decken IX, and obtained the Mark-Mark Fruit. As he examined it, a giant tentacle broke through the deck and attacked him.

• Saint Dio left Fish-Man Island with Arlong as his guide and used Geppo to race through the sea toward the Noah.
• Saint Dio found Vander Decken IX living aboard the Noah and learned that the Fish-Man had eaten the Mark-Mark Fruit.
• Vander Decken IX marked Saint Dio by shaking his hand, then attacked him with tracking weapons, but Saint Dio destroyed them and worked out the fruit's limits.

• Saint Dio extracted the Mark-Mark Fruit from Vander Decken IX's corpse and claimed it for himself.
• A huge dark-purple tentacle burst through the Noah's deck and swept toward Saint Dio, who dodged with Geppo.

Saint Dio defeated a giant octopus inside Noah and extracted the Mythical Zoan Kraken fruit, while also obtaining the Mark-Mark Fruit he had sought. He gave the Mark-Mark Fruit to Mumei, whose weapon-and-tracking combination showed promise, but Saint Dio recognized that she would need stronger weapons to threaten Haki users.

• Saint Dio summoned Jörmungandr to fight the giant octopus in Noah, and the serpent killed it by tearing out one of its eyes.
• Saint Dio extracted the Octopus-Octopus Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Kraken from the octopus and concluded that aquatic creatures could yield Devil Fruits.
• Saint Dio stored the Mark-Mark Fruit in a silver ring and gave it to Mumei, who already had the Pocket-Pocket Fruit.
• Mumei tested her new tracking power by marking Marigold and throwing curved blades that pursued her, but Marigold blocked them with Armament Haki.
• Saint Dio judged that Mumei needed more powerful weapons and considered Vegapunk, though he expected the Five Elders would reject a meeting request.

Saint Dio turned a Mythical Zoan Octopus Fruit into a giant transforming sword, named it Kraken, and then prepared to leave Fish-Man Island for Wano Country. Before departing, he took Shyarly along with Stussy after Arlong reluctantly gave permission, but Shyarly realized she could not walk on land because she had a mermaid’s tail.
