Bram Stoker explained that he wanted to use the island’s technology to revive someone, but Gary warned him the plan would fail. Gary then fought Rossi, and their clash triggered a massive explosion that drew Katakuri’s attention.

• Bram Stoker told Gary that he and his master wanted to use a brain chip and a cloned body to bring someone back to life.
• Gary attacked Rossi, who blocked her high-speed strikes with his twin blades and Armament Haki.

Elsewhere, Gary fought the Big Mom Pirates and affirmed that serving Dr. Tieshidaino was her own choice, while Tani faced Custard and her brother; Rossi then ordered Tani to follow Plan One.

• Rossi attacked Katakuri with his twin swords and Conqueror’s Haki coating, but Katakuri dodged with future sight and blocked the assault with mochi.

• Rossi accepted Katakuri’s offer and gave him the name Altaïr.

Alucard relived his memories of Lady Elizabeth as technicians extracted them to awaken her body. Meanwhile, Rossi and Katakuri joined forces against the blood puppets and three-headed beast, leaving the battle poised for their combined finishing attacks.

• Alucard submitted to Brain Chip data transcription and recalled how Elizabeth died after rumors and severed communications drove her to despair.
• Rossi destroyed a group of blood puppets, then advanced alongside Katakuri as they cut down the endless tide.

• The tall man ordered Randolph to take the others back to the ship, then offered Rossi the advanced Observation Haki technique Future Sight for help fighting the Shichibukai.

Rossi and the Charlotte Family fought through Alucard’s seemingly endless army of blood puppets, trying to reach the Shichibukai and end the battle. As the group advanced toward the fortress, Big Mom’s warriors were ordered to abandon the shore without them.

• Rossi refused to teach the others Future Sight and charged into the blood tide, while Katakuri and two siblings followed in formation.
• Tani sent Oni away, then unleashed her dragon wings and joined the battlefield.

• Katakuri used his mochi techniques and another Charlotte fighter froze the puppets as the group pushed through the blood sea.
• Big Mom’s warriors were ordered to board their ships and leave shore, despite their protests that Katakuri and the others remained behind.

Alucard trapped the attackers inside a Crimson Dome and used Heart Control to disrupt their blood, leaving Custard and Moscato incapacitated while Katakuri and Rossi pressed on. Katakuri began teaching Rossi Future Sight as Alucard prepared to descend and face them himself.

• A tide of Blood Puppets covered Scrap Iron Island, and the survivors feared that Katakuri and the others might lose to Alucard.
• Alucard enclosed the island in a Crimson Dome and used Heart Control, forcing two Charlotte Family members to their knees and weakening Rossi.

• A hooded figure called out, “Alucard—leave him to me.”

Rossi and the Charlotte Family fought Alucard and his forces inside the blood-red Awakening domain, where the enemy’s blood-based powers and regeneration threatened to overwhelm them. Rossi remained locked in a draining duel with Alucard as Katakuri tried to break past Stoke and protect his injured siblings.

• Moscato and Custard fought off blood puppets, but both were wounded and infected by the blood on their weapons.
• Katakuri sensed his siblings’ danger and unleashed a storm of mochi weapons at the figure dodging him.

Rossi sharpened his Observation Haki into a branching vision of possible futures as Alucard sent resurrected fighters and powerful attacks against him. After Rossi survived Alucard’s blood-mist seal and a colossal iron ball, Alucard turned toward a spear-wielding figure who had appeared amid the wreckage.
