Chapter Summaries

After Charlotte Oven's death, Noah returned to the Sky Islands and inspected the Eden-class Ark, a living warship developed by Luo. He learned about the governorate's defenses and Luo's biological experiments, while the special ark Noah had commissioned remained about two months from completion.

• The Big Mom Pirates offered a bounty worth tens of billions for Charlotte Oven's killer, but Noah's precautions kept Viola from witnessing the battle and left Morgans unable to identify him.
• Noah returned to the Paradise Sky Governorate, where Monet reported on its 15 Sky Islands, 53,000 residents, armed forces, and growing Dial industry.
• Noah visited Mechanical Island and inspected Luo's Eden-class Ark, whose transplanted Dial organs provided propulsion, weapons, energy storage, camouflage, and onboard supplies.
• Luo told Noah that the ark's bubble system still needed work and that the special ark Noah had commissioned would take about two more months to build.
• Noah learned that Luo had developed new abilities, created specialized gorilla units from Golden Lion's experimental beasts, and built himself a six-meter biological armor suit.

Noah infiltrated Stuka Island to capture Dahlia, a Shichibukai and Arms-Arms Fruit user, before he could escape again. Noah and Shiki swiftly subdued Dahlia and his officers, leaving Noah to reconsider his plan for the island.

• Noah traveled to Stuka Island after learning Dahlia had returned to his stronghold, then infiltrated the island through an underground tunnel.
• Noah had Shiki take control of Stuka Island and waited until night before locating Dahlia and his officers inside the mechanical castle.
• Shiki used the Float-Float Fruit and Seastone cloud to capture Shiru and Wood, preventing Shiru from using the Slow-Slow Fruit effectively.
• Noah overwhelmed Dahlia with Conqueror's Haki as Shiki crushed the castle's walls and steel plates around him, allowing Seastone cloud to weaken and restrain him.
• Noah's group captured everyone in the castle without raising an alarm, and Noah decided that placing one of his own among the Shichibukai was more valuable than stripping the island of its equipment.

Noah and his allies purged Stuka Island of spies and criminals, then staged its destruction to conceal the survivors’ relocation. The island was declared a restricted area, while Dahlia remained a Shichibukai and the global arms market was disrupted.

• Noah turned Dahlia, Shiru, and Wood into Apostles and discovered that Wood was a CP4 agent.
• Mary found that spies from several factions had infiltrated Stuka Island, so Kuro proposed destroying the island and relocating those who passed screening.

• Ray transferred the survivors to the Storm Archipelago as Noah covered corpses with mushrooms, destroyed the island’s production lines, and detonated bombs.
• Vice Admiral Maynard’s Marines found Stuka Island devastated and recommended making it a restricted area, while Noah retained the ability to restore it.
• The Five Elders and Kong allowed Dahlia to remain a Shichibukai, and news of Stuka Island’s destruction caused arms prices to soar and wars to subside.

Noah found Turtle Island and learned that its giant turtle was starving and struggling beneath the weight of the land on its back. He arranged for its treatment and transformation into a mobile fortress, while the island’s residents were relocated and his crew began the work.

• Noah arranged for Ray to relocate Sea Turtle Town’s residents to the Storm Archipelago, while Dahlia, Sith, Wood, and the others began converting the island into a mobile fortress.
• Luo transplanted organs from the Stomach Baron and Sky Island shells into the turtle, while Dahlia added weapons, an arsenal, and underwater-navigation systems.

• Noah borrowed Bege’s Castle-Castle Fruit and recovered the Rock-Rock Fruit from the test subject.

Noah gave Vic the Rock-Rock Fruit, and Vic awakened crimson Conqueror's Haki, leading Noah to conclude that conviction, physical strength, and the IQ drug could help others awaken it too. After sharing his insight with the Noah Family, Noah and the others spent over a week collecting the Ankura Kingdom's treasures.

• Noah gave Vic the Rock-Rock Fruit after recognizing that Vic had reached a physical training bottleneck.

• Noah led the Noah Family into the Sea of Mist, where they evaded Marine surveillance and searched deserted islands for Dyna Stone.
• After searching eight islands without success, Vic detected unstable rocks beneath a small ninth island.
• Vic extracted a sample, and it exploded on contact with the air, confirming Noah's suspicion that it was Dyna Stone.
• Vic analyzed the stone and showed he could mass-produce it, sealing each piece in crystal to prevent accidental detonation.
• Noah planned to equip Ark warships with Dyna Stone weapons while cautioning that the weapons could not reliably defeat powerful Haki users.

Noah and his companions raided Punk Hazard, stole the Artificial Pink Dragon Fruit, captured the researchers, and destroyed the research base before escaping. Borsalino arrived too late to stop them, and the World Government learned that the Hidden Ones Organization had struck again.

• Noah inspected Luo’s Eden-class airship and set out for the moon with Robin and their companions.
• During the journey, Robin reported that Red-Haired Shanks had reached the East Blue and that Who’s-Who had defected; Noah inferred that Shanks had stolen the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika.

• Shiki established the Sky Empire over the volcanic Bulin Sea, supported by a fleet, elite troops, and powerful subordinates including Blazing Sun, Hermit, Daz, and Wyper.
• Shiki led the Sky Empire's flying fleet to Hachinosu, where Ochoku raised a stone giant and demanded to know why Shiki had come.

• Shiki defeated Ochoku and ordered Blazing Sun, Hermit, Daz, and Wyper to lead the troops in taking Hachinosu.
• Joshua allowed spies' reports of the battle and Shiki's return to spread, while Noah hoped the news would draw Charlotte Linlin into a confrontation.

The Marines and New World emperors reacted to Golden Lion’s restored youth and victory at Hachinosu, while the Marines named him the fourth sea emperor. Big Mom took the news seriously and contacted Kaido, as Whitebeard refused to seek Golden Lion’s help.

• Tsuru advised Kong that the Marines should promote Golden Lion as the fourth sea emperor and use Blazing Sun’s Heat-Heat Fruit to provoke Big Mom; Kong approved her plan.

• Kaido realized Shiki's restored stamina and Conqueror's Haki made him a formidable opponent, while Big Mom struggled to overcome Blazing Sun's abilities.

• The battles continued for another three days, and Blazing Sun secretly used vitality infusion to maintain his strength against Big Mom.
• After six days of fighting, both sides showed signs of fatigue, and observers expected Kaido and Big Mom to retreat while Shiki secured his reputation as an emperor.
