• Alice projected to Lamia and reported that Pantos and four other Legendaries had joined the Eastern Battlefield, urging the group to prepare for teleportation.
• Lamia realized that five of the seven Legendary auras near the Sea Route belonged to Bella’s human puppets, and she ordered Krigon and Prometheus to hold them off.

Annie’s forces faced betrayal on the eastern battlefield as Sparu and Yale turned against Atlantis, while Yale trapped Annie in his Gladiatorial Arena. In the Imperial Capital, Hohenheim reached Dunn Campbell, only to discover that the Blood Emperor considered Hohenheim his nourishment.

• Sparu and Yale betrayed Atlantis, and they joined the navy in killing Jacob despite his powerful counterattack.
• Sparu told Lakadi that he and Yale had sided with the navy because the others would never have agreed to surrender willingly.

• Bella struggled to hold off the Legendary Golems as Hohenheim entered the Imperial Palace and climbed toward the throne.
• Hohenheim confronted Dunn Campbell, but Dunn awakened and declared that Hohenheim had delivered himself straight into his mouth.

Dunn’s failed Vampire Fruit awakening left him needing to drink the blood of a powerful creature, while Hohenheim entered the Throne Hall intending to use Dunn as nourishment. Their battle began with Dunn trapping Hohenheim in darkness, and Hohenheim reacted in disbelief to an Anti-Magic Field.

• Dunn’s attempt to awaken the Vampire Fruit went wrong because he had not properly embraced its blood-drinking nature, leaving its will to threaten his mind.

• Dunn plunged the Throne Hall into darkness and shook it violently, prompting Hohenheim to exclaim that an Anti-Magic Field was in effect.

Dunn trapped Hohenheim in the Throne Hall’s Anti-Magic Field, forcing him to use his items while preparing a Legendary Spell. As Hohenheim neared the end of his chant, Dunn empowered Night Feather and hurled it at Hohenheim, leaving the duel unresolved.

• The Throne Hall’s Anti-Magic Field prevented Hohenheim from casting spells below Legendary, so he used his Sun Pendant to unleash an incomplete Legendary Spell and hold back Dunn’s black fog.

• Dunn coated Night Feather with Conqueror's Color Haki and hurled it at Hohenheim; it pierced several shields but was stopped by the final layer.

Dunn interrupted Hohenheim’s Sunfall spell, drained his blood, killed him, and absorbed his soul. After Bella fled toward the Storm Sea, Dunn headed for the Eastern Battlefield, intending to kill more Legendaries.

• Night Feather’s feigned exhaustion lured Hohenheim into lowering his guard, but Hohenheim stopped the first strike with his Wizard Robe and nearly completed Sunfall.

• Bella severed her spirit-thread connections and escaped toward the Storm Sea, while Dunn chose not to pursue her.
• Dunn flew toward the Eastern Battlefield, planning to kill more Legendaries to establish the Atlantis Empire’s prestige.

Dunn arrived at the Eastern Battlefield after defeating Hohenheim, interrupting the United Navy’s advantage and the Raging Waves Sword Saint’s rising power. He rejected the Sword Saint’s offer of a truce and attacked him, leaving the battle’s outcome unresolved.

• Dunn arrived, rejected the Raging Waves Sword Saint’s truce proposal, and struck him with an attack that sent him flying near Christina and Lilith.
• Dunn and the Raging Waves Sword Saint clashed again, and an unseen force hit the Sword Saint from behind, making him cough blood.

• Dunn stabbed the gravely wounded Raging Waves Sword Saint through the heart and used blood authority to prevent him from resisting.
• Christina told the Raging Waves Sword Saint that she had betrayed him for justice, and he condemned her for risking their navy and territories.
• Dunn revealed that he and Christina had negotiated, then tore off the Raging Waves Sword Saint's head before he could mention the Eye of the Firmament.
• The fighters stopped when the Raging Waves Sword Saint fell, while Pantos tried to flee and Bronn held him in place despite Igneel tearing into him.
• Dunn charged at Pantos and activated the Lunar Phase authority, darkening the sky and bringing out the moon.

After awakening the Vampire Fruit, Dunn gained new powers and killed Pantos before rushing to help Bronn fight Igneel. Meanwhile, Atlantis demanded that the Navy hand over Sparu, and Christina allowed them to deal with him themselves.

• Dunn's awakened Vampire Fruit granted him cellular reorganization, several authorities, and the ability to turn humans into vampires.

• Christina told the Navy not to stop Atlantis, and Sparu fled as Atlantis's Legendaries moved against him.
• Dunn and Bronn continued attacking Igneel, whose strong life force and authority made him difficult to defeat.

Dunn and Bronn wore Igneel down while the other Legendaries defeated Sparu and Yale, leaving Igneel as the last enemy. Elvita arrived to save Igneel, then summoned the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins to confront Dunn.

• Dunn and Bronn battered Igneel, gradually worsening his injuries as the other Legendaries defeated Sparu and Yale.
• Igneel regained his reason, used his enormous maw to force Dunn and Bronn back, and called for Elvita to save him.
• Elvita appeared beside Igneel and tried to persuade Dunn to let him go, but Dunn refused.
• Elvita said the Seven Deadly Sins could negotiate together, and five more figures appeared beside her.

Dunn faced the Seven Deadly Sins as Elvita demanded that he hand over Igneel, while Atlantis's exhausted forces risked being overwhelmed if fighting began. A Silver Mirror message revealed that the Wizard Council had launched a devastating attack on the Lyon Empire, leaving Dunn to weigh the new threat as Elvita renewed her request.

• Dunn assessed the gathered Seven Deadly Sins, especially Envy, and recognized Elvita as their accepted leader.
• Elvita asked Dunn to let her take Igneel, but Dunn resisted because Bronn was gravely wounded and Atlantis could not safely fight the Seven Deadly Sins.
• Thunderous blasts from the New World shook the world, and Elvita realized that another battle had begun.
• Dunn and Christina received a Silver Mirror plea for help from the Eye of the Firmament, who reported that the Wizard Council had attacked the Lyon Empire with hundreds of Legendaries.
• Dunn learned that dozens of Legendaries had already fallen and the Lyon Empire was near collapse, then judged that sending Atlantis to help would risk his people.
• Elvita urged Dunn to grant her request, warning that the same danger threatened both of them.

After Dunn let Elvita take Igneel, Hohenheim was revived as a weakened lich and urged by his teacher to embrace Death Authority. In Atlantis, Dunn’s council considered how to respond to the Wizard Council’s assault, and Pearl argued that the New World—not the Lyon Empire—was the force capable of holding the Council back.

• In the Pure White Tower, Hohenheim’s teacher revived him from his Phylactery and told him to abandon his ambitions and pursue Deification through Death Authority.

• Bronn argued that Atlantis had to help the Lyon Empire, while Lamia and Lilith doubted that Atlantis had enough strength to make a difference.
• Pearl said Atlantis needed an enemy that could occupy the Wizard Council and identified the New World as a better choice than the Lyon Empire.

Pearl proposed that Lamia and Alice secretly tear the New World apart during the ongoing battle to force its powers into the war, and Dunn approved the risky plan. He also ordered the preparations for his Demigod-level Apotheosis Ritual, leaving both strategies ready to proceed.

• Pearl suggested that Lamia and Alice use a Legendary Spell to tear apart the New World amid the fighting between the Wizard Council and the Lyon Empire.
