Chapter Summaries

Yas learned that the legendary Time-Time Fruit had appeared on Kuraigana Island and set out to claim it, driven by the possibility of returning to the past. As Kaido and Charlotte Linlin also pursued the fruit, Marine Headquarters prepared for a crisis while questioning whether Yas would remain under their control.

• At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku condemned Yas's declaration against the world, while Garp laughed and dared its enemies to challenge him.
• Yas arrived above Marineford, and a Five Elder praised his actions before assigning him a mission to retrieve the Time-Time Fruit from Kuraigana Island.

• Yas flew straight toward the New World, vowing to use Kaido and Big Mom as stepping stones in his purification of the region.
• Steel Bone Kong ordered all forces to combat readiness and directed them to monitor Kuraigana Island.

• Kaido declared that he would test whether Yas’s lightning or his Hassaikai was stronger.

Yas reached Kuraigana Island and located the Time-Time Fruit beneath its ruins, only to find Big Mom’s and Kaido’s forces arriving at the same time. As the three powers faced off, Katakuri failed to see Yas’s future, and Kaido challenged Yas to fight.

• Katakuri recognized Yas but suffered pain when he tried to see Yas’s future, finding only nothingness.
• Kaido pointed Hassaikai at Yas and demanded that he come down and prove he could kill him.

Yas faced Kaido’s Bolo Breath without moving, and the attack failed to harm him. He left Kaido and the watching pirates stunned by dismissing the dragon’s power as barely a tickle.

• Kaido challenged Yas to prove he could kill him, then fired a Bolo Breath at him.
• Katakuri’s Future Sight showed Yas as an inexplicable nothingness, and he warned that Yas had not simply failed to dodge.

• Yas reappeared unharmed, brushed his shoulder, and told Kaido that his heat was not enough to tickle him.

Big Mom unleashed Soul Pocus across Kuraigana Island, turning its ruins, vegetation, sea, and weather into a vast Homies army to overwhelm Yas. Yas revealed a divine power that silenced the island and summoned Heavenly Thunder Burial, leaving Big Mom and her crew frozen in terror as azure lightning began to fall.

• Big Mom used Soul Pocus to transform Kuraigana Island and the surrounding sea into tens of thousands of Homies, enlarging Zeus and Prometheus as well.

• Big Mom trembled in fear as Yas invoked Divine Punishment: Heavenly Thunder Burial, and hundreds of millions of azure tears began pouring from the eyes above.

Yas unleashed a divine thunderstorm that annihilated most of Big Mom’s forces and devastated Kuraigana Island. He then headed underground for the Ancient Altar, while Big Mom, badly wounded, screamed that the Time-Time Fruit belonged to her.

• Yas’s azure thunderstorm vaporized Prometheus, Zeus, the Homie army, and ships around Kuraigana Island.

• Yas ordered his warship to set sail for God Valley, while Garp called Sengoku and arranged to head to the New World to find Whitebeard.

Yas received the Five Elders’ secret orders revealing that the God Valley mission was a trap to assess and potentially annihilate Rocks D. Zebek, with the Celestial Dragons serving as expendable bait. As Yas headed toward God Valley, his lookout reported that the island seemed to be crying.
