Roy took the Ark Maxim beyond the atmosphere, where the crew marveled at the stars and saw their blue planet from space. When a field of asteroids threatened the ship, Tesoro, Hawk Eyes, and the Red Count cleared a path through it.

• Roy shielded the Ark Maxim from extreme temperatures as he guided it into space.
• Yamato, Pea, Olvia, Enel, Hawk Eyes, the Red Count, and Bullet reacted to the stars and the sight of their blue planet below.
• Roy released stored compressed air and used Telekinesis to create stable gravity on the deck as the crew struggled with weightlessness.
• The Red Count and Roy sensed a mass of asteroids approaching the Ark Maxim.
• Tesoro destroyed the smaller asteroids with lightning while Hawk Eyes and the Red Count cut apart larger ones, and Roy deflected the debris with his shield.

Roy and his companions landed on the moon and explored the area around a mysterious energy pulse, finding ruins and artifacts from an ancient civilization. The discoveries suggested that the Moon People's technology far surpassed anything known in the present day.

• King sensed a calling from the moon as Roy guided the Ark Maxim toward the source of an energy pulse.

• The scientists examined discarded tools and machinery and found that the Moon People’s technology surpassed modern capabilities.

Roy and King discovered evidence that the Moon People had migrated to Earth and that the Lunarians were tied to the moon’s ancient defenses. King activated a colossal stone hall’s doors, opening the way to whatever lay inside.

• King sensed a call from the crater and, with Roy, found a stele describing the Moon People’s migration to a blue planet after their home ran out of resources.

• Roy ordered the mechanical warrior taken to the Ark Maxim for study, and the group continued toward the source of the energy pulses.
• King led them to a huge stone hall carved with a Lunarian figure, where Bullet’s punch failed to move the doors.
• King pressed his hand to the Lunarian carving, activating its symbols and causing the stone doors to open.

Roy and King discovered murals revealing that the Moon People created the Lunarians and built Uranus to conquer the Blue Sea. They continued deeper into the lunar passage and found tens of thousands of intact mechanical warriors in hibernation.

• Roy and King reached a vast plaza filled with tens of thousands of intact, dormant mechanical warriors.

Roy and his crew discovered that the moon’s 23,700 mechanical warriors could overwhelm a Four Emperor crew, but the machines recognized King’s Lunarian bloodline and stopped attacking on his command. They entered the lunar control center, where Olvia began examining its vast stores of information.

• The scientists examined the mechanical warriors and found that their energy source matched Lunarian flames, their shells surpassed Seastone, and their weapons were far beyond current technology.
• Yamato touched a warrior’s core, activating the legion, which surrounded Roy and his companions and began firing.

• The control center confirmed King’s highest authorization, and he ordered the mechanical legion into standby mode.
• Olvia examined the control center’s Ancient Script and began searching through its extensive information.

Olvia played recordings revealing the Moon People's migration, the creation of the Lunarians, and Uranus's power before showing how outsiders seized the weapon and the Lunarian kingdom fell. Roy concluded that the World Government had targeted the Lunarians because they could control Uranus, and he left with the recovered technology and mechanical warriors.

• Olvia showed recordings of the Moon People's decision to migrate to the Blue Sea, their experiments creating Lunarians, and their construction of Uranus.
• The recordings showed the Moon People using Uranus to erase an island, then entrusting the weapon to Lunarian guardians before departing for the Blue Sea.
• Damaged footage showed the Lunarian Kingdom flourishing on the Red Line, then being invaded; a black-robed figure later activated Uranus from the moon.

• Roy copied and encrypted the recovered data, entrusted the Lunarian modification technology to Dr. Gracia for safekeeping, and stored all 23,700 mechanical warriors before announcing their return home.

Roy and his crew left the moon’s ruins but were surrounded by star pirates seeking their discoveries. After defeating them and taking their ships and technology, Roy decided to return to Hachinosu and study the haul before exploring space.

• The Ark Maxim departed the stone hall, and the crew debated whether to search more of the moon’s ruins.
• Pea spotted five star pirate ships, whose one-eyed captain demanded the crew surrender what they had found.
• Roy pinned the captain with Telekinesis, and his crew defeated the pirates despite their ability-blocking shields.
• Roy redirected the flagship’s cannon into its own ship, blocked its escape, and read the captain’s memories to learn about the Moon People and rival pirate factions in space.
• Roy ordered the crew to collect the pirates’ weapons, shield generators, and three intact ships, then led everyone back toward Hachinosu.

Roy returned to Hachinosu with lunar technology, knowledge of Uranus, and a mechanical army, then directed the scientists to use the discoveries to strengthen the island. Hachinosu developed its defenses in secret, and its research base gained a shield that could briefly withstand an Admiral-level attack.

• Roy brought the Ark Maxim and three spacecraft back to Hachinosu and landed at the research base's hidden harbor.
• Roy showed Kaido a mechanical warrior and explained what he had learned about the Lunarians, Uranus, and the space pirates.
• King told Kaido that the Moon People had created his people, and Kaido affirmed that King was still his partner.
• Roy gave Dr. Gracia research priorities for the recovered technology, including energy shields, mechanical warriors, Lunarian modifications, and upgrades to the Ark Maxim.
• Under Dr. Gracia's leadership, Hachinosu's scientists mastered energy shield technology in two months and installed a shield over the research base three months later.
• Roy tested the new shield with a full-strength punch and found that it could briefly withstand an Admiral-level attack.

In 1502, Roy’s crew spent two years strengthening Hachinosu with upgraded technology and intensive training while the seas remained mostly peaceful. Kalifa told Roy that the Reverie was about to convene, leaving him poised to respond.

• Dr. Gracia reported that Hachinosu’s energy shield and Bloodline Transplantation had been improved, and Roy learned the Ark Maxim’s upgrades were nearly complete.

• Kalifa told Roy that Crocodile had reported the upcoming Reverie, and Roy reacted with surprise.

Roy learned that Doflamingo had been making unusual contacts and ordered Crocodile to keep watch, then headed to the harbor when Doflamingo’s ship arrived. At the Reverie in Mary Geoise, Queen Otohime attended as an observer, hoping to secure a better future for Fish-Man Island, as the conference began.

• Queen Otohime heard Celestial Dragons discuss slaves, suppressed her anger, and took an observer’s seat in the conference hall.
• Saint Saturn opened the Reverie with Sengoku and Kong present.

At the Reverie, Saint Saturn demanded stronger defenses, a ten percent increase in Heavenly Tribute, and cooperation against the Revolutionary Army. Queen Otohime’s appeal for Fish-Man Island to join the World Government was rejected because it relied on the Whitebeard Pirates and Roy Pirates for protection, leaving her facing an impossible choice.

• Saint Saturn told the kings to strengthen coastal defenses and share intelligence to combat the rising number of pirates.
• Saint Saturn announced that the Heavenly Tribute would rise by ten percent, and warned that nations could leave the World Government if they could not pay.
• Saint Saturn demanded that every nation help gather intelligence on the Revolutionary Army and eliminate its strongholds.
• Queen Otohime asked the World Government to let Fish-Man Island join, using her Observation Haki to convey the suffering and hopes of its people.
• Saint Saturn rejected Queen Otohime’s request because Fish-Man Island flew the flags of the Whitebeard Pirates and Roy Pirates, and told her to sever those ties before applying again.
• Queen Otohime returned to the observers’ gallery, resolved not to give up, but struggled with how Fish-Man Island could survive without the pirates’ protection.

Doflamingo revealed to Queen Otohime that the World Government never intended to let Fish-Man Island join because it wanted to preserve the Celestial Dragons’ ability to enslave Fish-Men and merfolk. At the Reverie, the kings nominated candidates to replenish the Shichibukai, and the invitations sparked challenges across the seas as Roy dismissed the role as serving the World Government.

• Doflamingo told Queen Otohime that the World Government’s stated conditions were excuses and that it would not admit Fish-Man Island while doing so might limit the Celestial Dragons’ access to slaves.
• Queen Otohime left Mary Geoise in silence and vowed that Fish-Man Island would one day join the World Government and its people would live under the sun.
• Saint Saturn announced that the Reverie would replenish the Shichibukai, and the kings nominated Chinjao the Drill, Red-Haired Shanks, Edward Weevil, Torch Lily, and Jinbe.
• Saint Saturn told Sengoku to have the Marines send invitations to the nominees, and the Reverie concluded.
• News of the nominations spread, prompting pirates across the seas to challenge the candidates in hopes of becoming Shichibukai.
• Roy read Crocodile’s report on Hachinosu and told Tesoro and the others that Shichibukai were the World Government’s dogs and Hachinosu answered to no one.

After the Shichibukai candidate list sparked attacks, Chinjao accepted a position to protect the Happo Navy from further harassment. On Fish-Man Island, Fisher Tiger drove off the raiding pirates and told Queen Otohime that the flags of Whitebeard and Roy offered the island its real protection.

• Pirates repeatedly attacked Chinjao and the Happo Navy, so Chinjao defeated hundreds of them and accepted the Shichibukai invitation to bring the attacks to an end.
• Queen Otohime emerged from her room and resumed speeches urging Fish-Man Island to join the World Government, while Jinbe doubted the Government would ever accept them.
• Pirates invaded Fish-Man Island to challenge Jinbe and preyed on its residents, but Queen Otohime urged him not to fight.
• Fisher Tiger and the Sun Pirates arrived, defeated the invaders with help from Jinbe, and restored peace to the island.
• Fisher Tiger warned Queen Otohime that the World Government would never accept Fish-Man Island and pointed to Whitebeard's and Roy's flags as its true protection.

Jinbe accepted the World Government’s invitation to become a Shichibukai to protect Fish-Man Island, while Edward Weevil also accepted and Shanks refused. Shanks then set out for the New World, where Roy learned of his arrival and discussed his strength with his crew.

• Jinbe accepted the Shichibukai invitation, and Fisher Tiger reassured Queen Otohime that Fish-Man Island would win equality through its own strength.
• Miss Bakkin accepted the invitation for Edward Weevil after he defeated more than a dozen pirate crews.
• Shanks drove off pirates with his Conqueror’s Haki and refused the Marines’ invitation to join the Shichibukai.
• Shanks told the Red Hair Pirates to prepare to enter the New World and said he was coming to see Roy.
• Crocodile brought Roy a report about Shanks entering the New World, and Tesoro, Bullet, Hawk Eyes, and the Red Count commented on the news.

Roy learned that the Op-Op Fruit had appeared in the North Blue and prepared to seize it before Doflamingo could. Doflamingo also confirmed the fruit’s location and mobilized the Donquixote Family, while keeping his plans from Roy.

• Crocodile told Roy that Doflamingo had been active in the North Blue and that the Op-Op Fruit had appeared there, so Roy ordered him to keep tracking its location.

• Rosinante left Doflamingo’s stronghold with Law, promising to find a cure for his illness despite knowing he might betray Doflamingo.
• Roy set off from Hachinosu aboard the Ark Maxim with his crew after Tesoro completed the ship’s inspection.
• Roy’s group crossed into the North Blue, and Roy decided to find lodging and assess the situation before approaching Doflamingo’s stronghold.
• The Ark Maxim landed on the Domik Archipelago, where Roy sent Lafitte and Van Augur to gather information about the Op-Op Fruit.

Rosinante and Law reached Minion Island to take the Op-Op Fruit before Doflamingo could claim it, while Sengoku sent Kizaru to intervene. Roy and his crew also set course for the island, where the competing forces were about to converge.

• Rosinante watched the pirate-occupied town on Minion Island with Law and planned an infiltration to obtain the Op-Op Fruit and cure Law.
• Rosinante recalled warning Sengoku that Doflamingo was heading to Minion Island, and reassured Law that he was helping because they were friends.

• Sengoku directed Kizaru to intercept the Op-Op Fruit and protect undercover Rosinante.
• Roy received Crocodile's report and sent the Ark Maxim and his crew toward Minion Island.

Rosinante hid Law in an abandoned outpost on Minion Island and prepared to steal the Op-Op Fruit while Roy and the Roy Pirates sailed toward the island. Kizaru intercepted the Ark Maxim, refused to let Roy pass, and attacked the ship, leaving them in a standoff.

• Rosinante left Law in an abandoned outpost, told him to stay hidden, and activated the Calm-Calm Fruit before heading out to steal the fruit.

Roy fought Kizaru while Tesoro attacked the Marine warships, and Rosinante infiltrated the pirate stronghold on Minion Island to find the Op-Op Fruit. The chapter ended with Rosinante entering the stone house and being spotted by a pirate.

• Kizaru attacked the Ark Maxim with Yasakani no Magatama and a Light Speed Kick, but Roy blocked the projectiles and wounded Kizaru with Shusui.
• Roy kept Kizaru occupied while Tesoro left the Ark Maxim and struck the five Marine warships with Raigo: Mamaragan.
• On Minion Island, Rosinante identified a three-minute gap in the pirates’ patrol shifts and told Law to stay hidden while he went to the stronghold.
• Rosinante used bombs to draw the pirates away from the stone house believed to hold the Op-Op Fruit, then slipped inside.
• A pirate at a table spotted Rosinante as he entered the stone house.

Rosinante stole the Op-Op Fruit and forced Law to eat it so he could cure his Amber Lead Syndrome. After Law used his new powers to heal Rosinante, Doflamingo arrived and confronted Rosinante about the fruit.

• Rosinante took the Op-Op Fruit from a locked box and escaped the pirates’ pursuit despite being shot.

• Rosinante told Doflamingo that Law had eaten the fruit and claimed Law was already in Navy hands, enraging Doflamingo.

Rosinante sacrificed himself to protect Law, who had eaten the Op-Op Fruit, and urged him to live freely without using its Eternal Youth Surgery. After Rosinante died, Doflamingo failed to find Law and prepared to confront the Navy as its warship reached the harbor.

• Doflamingo shot Rosinante after he refused to reveal the Op-Op Fruit’s location, while Law stayed hidden in a box protected by the Calm-Calm Fruit.

• Doflamingo ordered Trebol, Diamante, Pica, and Vergo to surround and attack Kizaru.
• Kizaru fought off the officers and counterattacked Doflamingo, but the Donquixote officers coordinated another assault and left him bloodied in the rubble.
