Diamante, Jinbe, Rossi, Doffy, and their allies fought the Deathwind Pirates aboard the Meat Grinder, where the red-robed captain’s Bubble-Bubble Fruit temporarily weakened Diamante. After the ship was wrecked and the captain recovered from Jinbe’s seawater, Meiteer faced Rossi and Doffy and shattered the metal around her into countless fragments.

Rossi arrived at Enies Lobby aboard a strange metal vessel, announcing that he had come to take down a sign. After Oimo and Kashii attacked with Hakoku Sovereignty, Rossi stopped their strike with his Stillness Domain and caught their weapons.

• A steam-powered iron vessel carried Tsuru, Tom, Rossi, and others across the sea as Rossi reflected on how accessible steam technology could transform travel and labor.

Rossi and his companions rode Mr. Tom’s Sea Train from Enies Lobby to its coastal shipyard, where the judge saw its potential to make sea travel safer for ordinary people. After Rossi protected the train from a giant Sea King, the judge arrived impressed, though aware the technology still needed improvement.

Tom was cleared of the charge of building a ship for the Pirate King, and the Donquixote Family celebrated the Sea Train’s maiden voyage with Water 7. Rossi and Doffy then left for Dressrosa, but after arriving at Red Harbor, they saw news of Douglas’s defeat and met Rear Admiral Tianzheng on the way to Mary Geoise.

• The old man dismissed the charge against Tom, who thanked the Donquixote Family for supporting the Sea Train project and agreed to build routes between nearby islands.

• Rossi went to a cliff north of Dressrosa and gave his companion plans, telling him to build the site once the materials arrived.

Pica and Jora built and colored a fortress that Rossi turned into a laboratory, where Dr. Tieshidaino began preparing poison-resistance research. Dragon arrived in Dressrosa with Emporio Ivankov and Inazuma, and Rossi asked Ivankov to help develop antidotes and train his companions to resist poison.

• Pica raised a stone fortress from the ground, and Jora covered its walls with vivid colors that supported researchers’ mental work.
• Rossi stocked the laboratory with equipment and told Dr. Tieshidaino to focus on improving the Family members’ poison tolerance until more research materials arrived.
• Dragon and two companions reached Dressrosa, where Gladius escorted them from the docks to the royal palace.
• Rossi welcomed Dragon, Emporio Ivankov, and Inazuma at the palace, and Ivankov remarked that Rossi and Doffy followed a different path from the Revolutionaries.
• Rossi led the visitors to the laboratory and asked Ivankov to help develop antidotes and build poison resistance among his companions.

Rossi began poison-resistance training with Ivankov and Dr. Tieshidaino, then headed to Green Bit to enlist the Tontattas’ help with the Artificial Devil Fruit project. Meanwhile, Vinsmoke Judge arrived in Dressrosa with precision instruments and suspected the Donquixote order was connected to lost technology.

Elsewhere, Katakuri’s party arrived to stop Alucard the Impaler’s attempt to resurrect Elizabeth, and Stoker released a metal-bodied girl whose purpose remained unclear.

• Bram Stoker recognized Rossi as the man who had freed Golden Lion from Impel Down and ordered the island’s patrols to withdraw while the grand duke was summoned.
• Rossi destroyed a four-armed mechanical guard with one punch, then used his Observation Haki to locate the island’s researchers and led Tani and Oni toward them.

• A metal-bodied girl confronted Bram Stoker on a factory roof, asking why she had been released after being drained and imprisoned in the laboratory.

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.
• Rossi countered Gary with a wave of debris, and she activated her Reaction Layer when his blade reached her coat.
• The resulting blast devastated the factory area and sent shock waves across the island.
• Katakuri sensed the explosion, concluded that another group of visitors had arrived, and led his younger brother and sister toward it.

Rossi, Tani, and Oni faced Katakuri’s Charlotte group and Bram Stoker with Gary at the ruined factory, where Gary learned that the hooded strangers knew her father, Dr. Tieshidaino. As Rossi and Katakuri clashed, the groups fought over access to the laboratory, leaving Stoke by its iron doors.

• Rossi withdrew Oni from the blast-scorched crater while Tani emerged protected by ice, and Bram Stoker and Gary confronted them among the factory ruins.

• Rossi and Katakuri clashed as Rossi moved to attack Stoke, and Custard stopped Moscato from intervening while Stoke backed toward the laboratory doors.

Rossi destroyed the laboratory’s cultivation tank and the chip containing Alucard’s wife’s memories, ending the experiment and leaving Stoke alive. As battles spread across Scrap Iron Island, Rossi and Katakuri clashed with Conqueror’s Haki, and Rossi began to overpower Katakuri in a close-range fight.

• Rossi revealed that the laboratory’s energy core was nearing overload and used the charge to destroy the cultivation tank and the clone carrying Alucard’s wife’s memories.
• Stoke surrendered his rapier and asked Rossi to kill him, but Rossi spared him and told him to warn Alucard that the dead would not return.
• The fog over Scrap Iron Island dispersed as Rossi and Katakuri clashed with Conqueror’s Haki.
• Katakuri used Mochi Galleon to pin Rossi’s blades and attack him with eight Haki-coated arms.
• Rossi answered with Feilian Fist Cannon, breaking down Katakuri’s mochi arms and gaining an opening.

Rossi struggled to land a decisive blow on Katakuri, whose future sight and versatile mochi powers let him evade Rossi’s Conqueror’s Haki-coated attacks. 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 realized Katakuri’s Observation Haki and Devil Fruit made him difficult to hit, and worried that his lack of wide-area attacks left him at a disadvantage.
• Gary evaded Bram Stoker’s attacks and lasers, then declared that she knew she was not the original Gary but chose to fight for Dr. Tieshidaino, who had given her life.
• Tani confronted Custard and her brother, while Custard identified Tani as the powerful pirate known as “White Dragon” Baruf Tani.
• Rossi ordered Tani to follow Plan One, and Tani began transforming into a larger, scaled form.
