• Illya’s vertical eye evolved into a golden-patterned Rinnegan, and she formed and then withdrew a giant Susanoo before thanking Wang Hao.

After traveling through a dangerous undersea current, they arrived outside Fish-Man Island and saw a gigantic ship falling toward it.

• A badly wounded Feile told Wang Hao that a rebellion had broken out on Fish-Man Island and that Queen Otohime was dying after giving her Water of Life to Princess Shirahoshi.

• Wang Hao incapacitated Kongmen and Kazan, then Kizaru and Gion pursued the two fleeing attackers.
