After Lin Yan’s declaration of war shook the world, he and his allies prepared to sail from Wano Country toward Laugh Tale, where the secrets of the ancient system and the ONE PIECE might be revealed.

• The fleet escaped the collapsing ruins at the cost of sunken ships and casualties, and Lin Yan ordered repairs before continuing toward Laugh Tale.

• The allied fleet crossed the storm and emerged in a tranquil sea, where Robin recognized the distant island as Laugh Tale.
• The Blackbeard Pirates and CP0 followed into the final waters, and Marshall D. Teach claimed that One Piece would be his while CP0 requested authorization for “Divine Punishment.”

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’s group opened the Silver Gate and was transported into Laugh Tale, where Rayleigh, Crocus, and the other surviving Roger Pirates subdued the CP0 agents and Blackbeard officers.
• Rayleigh revealed that the ONE PIECE was erased history, knowledge, and a choice for the future, then sent Lin Yan’s group up Crystal Mountain while the Roger Pirates stayed behind to guard against intruders.

• The three keys opened the path to the Hall of Truth, where Lin Yan’s group discovered the historical archive, the Ancient System blueprint, and Joy Boy’s gift and master access key.
• Blackbeard’s crew, CP0 and the Holy Knights, and a Celestial Dragon leading Priests of God broke into the Hall of Truth, and Lin Yan stepped forward as the final battle began.

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.
