Kuina defeated four awakened Jailer Beasts with a single Ryuo-infused sword technique, clearing the way for Lorne and the Wano Country samurai to press deeper into Impel Down. The chapter ended in Infinite Hell, where a scarred black-robed figure approached Garp’s cell with a ring of keys.
The World Government freed Voland from Infinite Hell and sent him to kill Lorne, while Lorne led his forces through Impel Down to rescue Marines and advance into Beast Hell. The chapter ended as Kuina, Denjiro, and Ryan blocked Beast Hell’s poisoned Seastone bolts with a Haki barrier.
Lorne’s army crushed Impel Down’s defenses on the first three floors and broke through the gate to Blazing Hell, where a towering purple figure stood waiting. The chapter ended as the invading army entered the fourth floor and faced the figure.
Lorne faced Magellan alone in Impel Down and endured the Chief Warden’s Poison Dragons, using his Sett Bloodline’s Battlefield Valor to turn the venom’s damage into fully charged Grit. With a golden shield protecting him, Lorne launched Decimating Smash at Magellan.
Lorne defeated Magellan with a single punch and prepared to descend into Level Five to rescue Garp. Before the army could proceed, Magellan triggered Impel Down’s emergency lockdown, sealing the passage with Dragon-Breaking Stones and trapping Lorne’s forces above the prison’s deeper levels.
Lorne shattered Impel Down’s ten-thousand-ton Dragon-Breaking Stone gate with one punch, then led the army into the freezing fifth floor. As Army Hound Wolves surrounded the cold-weakened samurai, Lorne unleashed lightning and heat.
Lorne melted a path through Freezing Hell and led the recovered samurai toward Level 6 to rescue Garp, while CP0 revealed that a poison-gas trap and a Marine fleet awaited them. The story left Lorne preparing to breach the Seastone gate as the surrounding battleships closed in.
Lorne shattered Impel Down’s Level Six Seastone Barrier Gate with one punch and entered Infinite Hell with Kuina, Denjiro, and thirty thousand Wano Country Samurai. There, he found the guards dead and confronted three escaped remnants of Rocks’s era who had been promised pardons for killing him.
After Moga revealed that Garp was imprisoned and mocked Lorne’s adoptive mother, Masha, Lorne’s killing intent overwhelmed the pirates. The chapter ended with Lorne appearing in front of Moga and gripping his skull.
Lorne rescued Monkey D. Garp from Impel Down and escaped the Marine fleet without a shot being fired. He persuaded Sengoku to contact Aokiji and Fujitora and keep conscientious Marines from becoming the Five Elders’ cannon fodder, setting the stage for a confrontation with the World Government.
Lorne and Dragon formed an alliance between the Fearless Empire and the Revolutionary Army to attack Mary Geoise, with the Revolutionary Army cutting supplies and helping free the enslaved. After the World Government fortified Red Port and inflicted casualties on Zou scouts, Lorne ordered the fleet to sail straight for the Red Line anyway.
Lorne and his allies stormed Mary Geoise and battled the Five Elders inside Pangaea Castle. Lorne killed four of them and advanced on the last Elder, Saint Warcury, with the Empty Throne beyond him.
Lorne killed Saint Warcury, completing the Five Elders’ defeat, then confronted Imu on the Empty Throne as Imu awakened Uranus to destroy Mary Geoise. Lorne ordered his allies to evacuate and rose into the sky to face the weapon with a punch.
Lorne destroyed Uranus and exposed Imu as a parrot who had secretly sustained the World Government’s rule for eight hundred years. After ordering the bird’s capture and confession broadcast, he turned toward the still-unresolved confrontation at Marine Headquarters.
Lorne defeated Sakazuki and helped end the World Government’s rule, then established a new order that replaced piracy with lawful Adventure Guilds. As the Fearless set sail for the East Blue, Lorne planned to return home and see Masha.
