Arc 18The Five Elders Fall
Shane defeated the Five Elders, exposed the truth about the Celestial Dragons, and survived Imu’s attack on Marineford. He then revived Rocks, freed Impel Down’s prisoners to seize their Devil Fruits, and headed to Twin Cape as allies gathered for the coming campaign.
- Sakazuki carried Borsalino to safety while Shane faced the Five Elders, and Saint Warcury ended the worldwide broadcast by destroying the Visual Den Den Mushi.
- Shane used the Dragon Emperor Grand Fleet’s attacks on Celestial Dragon homelands to expose Saint Warcury’s miscalculation, then fought the Elders with his Devil Fruits and Haki.
- Shane used Reverse Observation Haki to overwhelm the Five Elders and summoned Sea Kings to destroy Marineford while he broadcast the history of the Ancient Kingdom and called on the world to resist the Celestial Dragons.
- Shane trapped the fused Five Elders, killed them repeatedly, and erased them at sunrise, but Imu’s attack destroyed Marineford and left Shane’s fate uncertain.
- After disappearing for a week, Shane returned to his allies, while Imu released cloned Five Elders and other monsters from a hidden facility beneath Mary Geoise.
- Shane revived Rocks at God Valley, fought him after restoring his former strength for a day, and left him alive as Rocks prepared to gather Old Era pirates against the Celestial Dragons.
- Shane entered Impel Down, demanded the Devil Fruits of the Level Six prisoners, and explained that he needed them for the coming war and the Celestial Dragons’ planned Hunting Game in the Goa Kingdom.
- Shane defeated the old man guarding the prisoners, collected the final Devil Fruit, and flew toward Twin Cape as Crocus, Brook, Laboon, Kaido, Linlin, and Roger gathered there.
