Chapter Summaries

Yas unleashed a massive lightning-laced tsunami that destroyed Midas Island and defeated Gildo’s forces. With Gildo among the survivors, Yas ordered Brannew to retrieve him so he could learn where Captain John’s next treasure cache was and who he planned to deal with.

• Gildo ordered his cannons to bombard the Leviathan, and Yas ignored calls to evade or defend.
• Yas used wind and lightning energies to create a vast vortex that swallowed the golden cannonballs and became a towering, electrified tsunami.
• Gildo raised a golden barrier, but the tsunami shattered it and swept across Midas Island, killing most of its pirates and sinking the island.
• Gildo survived on a reef as Yas’s warship remained intact, and Yas ordered Brannew to salvage the treasure and bring Gildo aboard.
• Yas said he would question Gildo about Captain John’s next treasure cache and planned deal.

Yas learned that Captain John planned to trade rare Zoan Devil Fruit users for IQ with a Golden Lion agent at the Fallen Sky Islands, so he took the Leviathan there. The ship entered an ambush led by Dr. Indigo, who prepared to attack it with his famous sword.

• Yas interrogated Gildo, who revealed that Captain John was heading to the Fallen Sky Islands to trade ten rare Zoan Devil Fruit users for IQ from one of the Golden Lion's men.

• Dr. Indigo recognized the Leviathan and ordered his pirates to capture its crew as test subjects.
• Yas sensed Conqueror's Haki from Indigo, who drew Sakura Ten and threatened to cut through the ship.

Yas unleashed Conqueror's Haki, disrupted Indigo's Flying Slash, and shattered it with his fist. He formed a new Black Lightning armor and advanced on Indigo, challenging him to see whether Sakura Ten could mark his body.

• Yas formed Black Lightning armor and approached Indigo, asking to test whether Sakura Ten could leave a mark on him.

Yas effortlessly withstood Dr. Indigo’s attacks, seized and snapped his Supreme Grade Blade, Sakura Ten, and left Indigo exhausted and terrified. Yas then announced that his turn to attack had begun.

• Dr. Indigo charged Yas with Sakura Ten, but the blade could not scratch Yas’s black lightning armor and the recoil injured Indigo’s hand.

• Enraged, Dr. Indigo attacked Yas with Lion Style: Chaotic Slashing, but Yas stood unharmed with his hands behind his back.
• Brannew and the Marines watched the fight on the Surveillance Den Den Mushi as Indigo exhausted himself and lost his will to fight.
• Yas asked whether Indigo had finished warming up and said it was his turn.

Yas used Lightning Body Flicker to overwhelm Dr. Indigo, whose attacks and Observation Haki proved useless against him. Cornered on his flagship, Indigo revealed a case of green IQ syringes and threatened to unleash their power on Yas and everyone nearby.

• Yas vanished from Dr. Indigo’s sight and struck him from behind, then flicked him across the Swan Flagship’s deck.

• Indigo broke into his quarters, seized a case of green IQ syringes, and threatened to unleash their power on Yas and everyone nearby.

Dr. Indigo used the IQ serum to turn the Swan Flagship and its surroundings into a monstrous biological hell, but Yas erased the mutated creatures and Indigo with Black Lightning. Yas answered a call from Golden Lion Shiki and claimed Indigo’s possessions, threatening to take Shiki’s head next.

• Dr. Indigo injected himself with the IQ serum and fused with the Swan Flagship, spreading mutations across the surrounding sea.
