Chapter Summaries

Saint Dio's ship left Fish-Man Island with Shyarly aboard and used an Eternal Pose to set course for Wano Country. During the voyage, he trained Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold under added weight, then used the Kraken sword to break apart a ship-sized hailstone as the sisters helped defend the ship from falling ice.

• Stussy gave Shyarly a bubble that let her move above the sea, and Shyarly and Mumei became friends as the ship surfaced.
• Saint Dio showed Stussy an Eternal Pose for Wano Country that Saint Gunko had obtained in the Holy Knights' name, and Stussy directed the pirates to follow it.
• Saint Dio placed Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold under Jörmungandr's added weight and ordered them to train during the voyage.
• The ship endured violent New World storms, and Saint Dio resolved to reach Wano Country before turning his attention to building a fleet.
• When enormous hailstones began falling, Saint Dio used the Kraken sword's tentacles to shatter a block of ice, while Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold dealt with the falling fragments.

Saint Dio developed the Stamp-Stamp Fruit by engraving a Tongue-Cutting Curse Seal on his pirates, preventing them from revealing information about him. He reached Wano Country with his companions, leaving the sealed pirates behind, where King found them and began interrogating them.

• Saint Dio tested a Tongue-Cutting Curse Seal on a pirate and confirmed it paralyzed anyone who tried to disclose specified secrets.
• Saint Dio had Stussy apply the curse seal to the remaining pirates, then considered what other sealing techniques the Stamp-Stamp Fruit might reproduce.
• Saint Dio, Hancock, her sisters, Mumei, Shyarly, and Stussy flew over Wano Country's cliffs, leaving the pirate crew aboard their ship.
• King arrived on the abandoned ship and demanded to know who the pirates were and who their captain was.
• The curse seal stopped the pirates from answering, so King drew his katana and began cutting them down as he tried to force them to talk.

Stussy and Mumei infiltrated Wano Country to find a place for their group to stay, while Stussy gathered information and entered the daimyo's residence to steal local currency. The group waited in the woods as Stussy explored the residence and mapped its defenses.

• King ordered the captured pirates imprisoned alive and flew to Wano Country to report the disturbance to his captain.
• Stussy and Mumei changed into kimonos and went to infiltrate a nearby town, while the rest of Saint Dio's group stayed hidden in the woods.
• Shyarly made flower wreaths for Hancock, Sandersonia, Marigold, and Saint Dio, who accepted hers and praised it.
• Stussy and Mumei learned they were in Ringo and that Shimotsuki Ushimaru was the local daimyo.
• Stussy flew into the daimyo's residence as a bat, memorized its layout and guard routines, and entered the storehouse.

Stussy gathered money and clothes in town while Mumei learned that the Beasts Pirates were searching for outsiders on King’s orders. Saint Dio’s group prepared to enter the city, but their stolen carriage proved too heavy for its horses to pull.

• Stussy took enough currency from the Daimyo’s Residence to order plain kimonos and rented an inn, while Mumei bought a candied apple.
• Mumei saw the Beasts Pirates searching for suspicious outsiders, and Shimotsuki samurai drove them away from the street.
• A giant bear attacked Saint Dio’s group in the forest, and Sandersonia killed it with her naginata.
• Stussy returned with the kimonos, dressed Saint Dio and helped Hancock put hers on, then reported the Beasts Pirates’ search.
• Mumei revealed that she had defeated bandits and taken their carriage, and the group boarded it to travel into town.
• Sandersonia and Marigold tried to pull the heavily loaded carriage, but the horses could not move it.

Saint Dio arrived in Wano Country to learn Ryuo and pursue the Devil Fruits in the Flower Capital, leaving Hancock and the others training at a dojo in Ringo. In the Flower Capital, his carriage was stopped by Kozuki Oden dancing in the street, and Saint Dio dismissed the sight as ugly.

• Saint Dio settled Hancock, Mumei, Sandersonia, and Marigold at a reputable dojo in Ringo to study Haki.
• Saint Dio traveled with Stussy to the Flower Capital, where he planned to watch for the Devil Fruits he sought.
• Saint Dio observed the Flower Capital’s crowded, colorful streets and remarked that Kurozumi Orochi had influenced the city’s aesthetic.
• Kozuki Oden blocked the carriage’s path by dancing half-naked in the street, and Saint Dio called the sight ugly.

Saint Dio sought out samurai in the Flower Capital to learn Ryuo through combat, and his fight with a skilled enforcer let him understand how Haki could flow through a weapon and strike through defenses. He broke the samurai’s sword with a Ryuo-infused punch, leaving his opponent facing another blow.

• Saint Dio dismissed Kozuki Oden as foolish for trusting Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi instead of resisting them.
• Saint Dio went into the Flower Capital at night to provoke samurai into fights so he could learn Ryuo through experience.
• A wary samurai confronted Saint Dio in an alley and struck his Haki-coated arm, letting him feel Ryuo’s penetrating force.
• Saint Dio fought the samurai, deliberately meeting his blade with his fists as he studied the flow of the man’s Haki.
• After several failed attempts, Saint Dio gathered Haki into his fist and broke the samurai’s sword with a punch.
• The samurai stared at his broken blade as Saint Dio’s fist rushed toward him.

Saint Dio honed his Ryuo by attacking samurai as the Flower Capital’s mysterious Night Owl, while the resulting decline in visitors and courtesans drew Kurozumi Orochi’s attention. Kaido and Orochi agreed to cooperate, and after learning that outsiders had infiltrated Wano Country, Kaido ordered King to hunt Night Owl and capture him if he was one of them.

• Saint Dio fought samurai across the Flower Capital for a month, improving his Ryuo and earning the name Night Owl.
• As samurai and courtesans left the Flower Capital, Kurozumi Orochi learned the cause and demanded that Night Owl be found.
• Kaido proposed building arms factories in Kuri, and Orochi agreed to provide the land in exchange for thirty percent of the profits.
• King showed Orochi a pirate flag from a ship found near Wano Country and reported that its captain and other key crew members had infiltrated the country.
• Orochi ordered the daimyo and magistrates to assist the Beasts Pirates’ search, then suggested that Night Owl might be an outsider.
• Kaido assigned King to find Night Owl, ordering him to capture the man if he was an outsider and dispose of him otherwise.

Saint Dio fought King in the Flower Capital, matching the Beasts Pirates All-Star’s attacks with Kraken’s ink powers and provoking him instead of answering questions about his identity. As their battle escalated, Kaido transformed into a dragon and flew toward the fight, while Saint Dio’s copied attack held King’s flames at bay.

• Saint Dio defeated a samurai in an alley before King attacked him from the sky with a laser, and Dio dodged it.
• King dived at Saint Dio, who blocked his wing strike with Jörmungandr and countered with Kraken’s tentacles.
• Saint Dio pursued King into the air and used an ink attack to overwhelm his flaming bullets, forcing King to evade.
• King questioned Saint Dio about his allegiance and the pirate ship near Wano, but Dio gave deliberately evasive answers.
• King transformed into human form and charged his katana with flames as Kaido drank sake, transformed into an azure dragon, and flew toward the battle.
• King launched his Fire Dragon Emperor, and Saint Dio answered with a matching Black Dragon Emperor that clashed evenly with the flaming dragons.

Saint Dio challenged Kaido after the Emperor arrived and rejected his offer to join the Beasts Pirates. Their battle escalated until Kaido used Conqueror’s Coating, and his attack sent Saint Dio crashing into a cliff.

• Kaido arrived in his Azure Dragon Form and agreed to fight Saint Dio after learning he was a Celestial Dragon.
• Kaido attacked with Bolo Breath, but Jörmungandr shielded Saint Dio and withstood the flames.
• Kaido used Blast Breath, damaging Jörmungandr’s scales, and Jörmungandr burrowed underground to escape the wind blades.
• King warned Kaido that Jörmungandr’s tunneling could destroy Wano Country, so Kaido ordered Saint Dio to stop it.
• Saint Dio agreed to stop Jörmungandr if Kaido used Conqueror’s Coating, and Kaido attacked with Conquest of the Sea: Three Realms Ragnaraku.
• Saint Dio clashed with Kaido’s spiked club using Kraken and Ryuo, but Kaido’s force overwhelmed him and hurled him into a distant cliff.

Saint Dio defeated Jack with Jörmungandr and Kraken, then reached an agreement to work with Kaido in Wano Country. Kaido invited him to drink, while King and Jack left angry about the partnership.

• Jack arrived with Beasts Pirates and ordered them to dig Saint Dio out of the rubble, but Saint Dio emerged unharmed and unleashed Kraken's full form.
• Jack transformed into a mammoth and charged Kraken, but Jörmungandr burst from underground and seized him in its jaws.
• Kaido and King arrived, and Kaido proposed working with Saint Dio after Saint Dio warned that his beasts could damage Wano Country.

• Kaido transformed into a dragon and invited Saint Dio to drink, while King departed silently and Jack went to the prison to vent his anger.
