Lin Yan and the combined fleet entered Blackbeard’s ambush in the Ancient Ruins, where they fought the Blackbeard Pirates, CP0, and three contaminated Energy Constructs. Lin Yan wounded Blackbeard, but the ruins began collapsing before they could finish their battle, leaving both sides to retreat as the fleet prepared to continue toward Laugh Tale.
Lin Yan and the allied fleet raced to the Eye of the Storm to perform the Resonance Ritual and open the way to Laugh Tale. After surviving the storm, they reached the island’s threshold, only for the Blackbeard Pirates and CP0 to arrive behind them.
Lin Yan and his allies landed on Laugh Tale, discovered an ancient inscription explaining the origins of Devil Fruits, and passed the Heart-Reflecting Corridor’s trial. As they reached Crystal Mountain’s gate, CP0 agents and Blackbeard Pirates ambushed them.
Lin Yan and his companions reached Laugh Tale’s Hall of Truth, where Rayleigh explained that the ONE PIECE held erased history and a choice for the future. After passing three trials and unlocking the summit, they found the ancient legacy as Blackbeard, the World Government, and Imu’s followers arrived, leaving Lin Yan to face a three-way battle.
Lin Yan and the Straw Hats fought Blackbeard and the World Government forces inside Laugh Tale's Hall of Heroes, where Robin copied Joy Boy's legacy and Lin Yan purified Blackbeard's chaotic transformation. As the CP0 commander tried to seize the golden orb and the high priest attacked the historical records, Imu descended and froze the battlefield to claim the legacy.
Lin Yan inherited Joy Boy’s gift and awakened the Nika Core completely, then joined his companions in resisting Imu’s attempt to erase Laugh Tale. Their combined power triggered a Trinity resonance that wounded Imu and halted the attack, while signs of upheaval spread across the world.
Lin Yan used the Ancient System and the group’s united will to strip the Dark-Dark Fruit from Blackbeard and seal its essence on Laugh Tale. Dragon then reported that Uranus was unstable and Imu remained in control, leaving Lin Yan and his companions racing to find a way to stop the coming disaster.
Lin Yan and his companions uncovered Roger’s records and the Ancient Kingdom’s system archives on Laugh Tale, learning that a dangerous forced reset of Uranus might be their only chance to stop its collapse. They repaired the island’s emergency warp device and teleported to the Red Line, where the final battle awaited.
Dragon and the Revolutionary Army fought to keep Uranus’s control hub accessible as Imu accelerated its life-draining Final Cleansing program. Sabo joined the defense, then Lin Yan and his companions arrived; Lin Yan and Robin headed into Uranus’s core to attempt a Forced Reset with less than a thirty percent chance of success.
Lin Yan and Robin reached Uranus's core and activated its Forced Reset protocol, stripping Imu of direct control and damaging his fused will. Imu survived and fled toward the chamber of the Empty Throne as worldwide disturbances worsened, leaving the final battle ahead.
After resetting Uranus, Lin Yan discovered that true Trinity resonance came from uniting bonds, power, and purpose, and joined his will with Ace, Luffy, Sabo, and their companions. Recovered and strengthened, Lin Yan opened the way to the Empty Throne chamber and led the others toward Imu as the final confrontation approached.
Lin Yan and his companions confronted Imu in the Empty Throne chamber, where Imu used divine powers to erase existence, regress spacetime, and impose eternal stasis. Lin Yan unleashed a creation-powered attack that shattered Imu’s domain, but Imu transformed into a world-devouring void and began the final crisis.
Lin Yan drew on the shared hopes of people around the world to awaken the Nika Core and defeat Imu’s Void Devouring, restoring what the void had consumed. When the wreckage of Uranus began to collapse, he used his new authority and his companions’ support to stabilize it and redirect its energy, leaving the world safe as sunlight reached the Empty Throne chamber.
After defeating Imu and stabilizing Uranus, Lin Yan proposed making the hidden history public and convening a worldwide conference so the people could decide the world’s future. He rejected the Empty Throne as a symbol of rule by a single authority, destroyed it, and prepared to write a letter to the world.
After Imu’s defeat, Lin Yan and his allies helped stabilize the world and establish a new international convention, while the Straw Hat Pirates and Ace prepared to pursue their own journeys. Lin Yan set sail aboard the Dawn Ark as its captain, bound first for Fish-Man Island and then wherever the new era needed help.
Lin Yan and the Dawn Ark crew set sail from Wano on a peace mission, leaving Ace and Luffy to chart their own courses. As they head toward Fish-Man Island, Lin Yan reflects on the uncertain but hopeful new era and the work still needed to build trust and protect people.
