Night Parade · Halloween
Roy freed the captives at the Golden City Auction House, then fought the Marines after Akainu killed the captured Celestial Dragons and the Marines murdered pirate witnesses. Garp eventually withdrew, and Roy left Sabaody with the rescued slaves and Hancock while the Five Elders raised his bounty to 4.5 billion Beli.
Roy strengthened Hachinosu, welcomed Shanks for a contest between their crews, and helped Hancock become Amazon Lily’s empress. After securing an alliance and improving the island’s warriors through Bloodline Transplantation and training, Roy left for Hachinosu to address new trouble.
Roy visited Shimotsuki Village, helped Kuina pursue her dream of becoming the World’s Greatest Swordsman, and took her toward Hachinosu after staging her death. In Foosha Village, Roy met Ace, Luffy, and Shanks, then watched Luffy eat the Gum-Gum Fruit from Shanks’s chest.
Luffy gained his rubber powers and received Shanks's straw hat before Roy returned to Hachinosu and then uncovered Pluton in Wano Country. Golden Lion and Big Mom attacked to seize the weapon while the Marines waited for an opportunity to destroy it.
Roy and his allies defeated the Marines’ assault on Pluton, captured Big Mom, and carried the ancient battleship back to Hachinosu. Years later, Roy prepared for Luffy and Ace’s paths to cross in Alabasta while arranging for Robin to join the Straw Hat Pirates.
Roy engineered Blackbeard’s capture and death, then prepared Hachinosu for the coming war as the Marines scheduled Ace’s execution and Whitebeard’s forces moved toward Marineford. Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates reached Water 7, built the Thousand Sunny, and fought Moria before the Paramount War began.
Roy positioned Hachinosu’s fighters to enter the Marineford battle after both sides had been weakened, while Luffy raced to save Ace and Whitebeard fought the Marines. Luffy and Ace fell from the Execution Platform, and Moria, Hancock, and Jinbe defended them from Kizaru as Luffy searched for the key to Ace’s handcuffs.
Roy and Hachinosu intervened at Marineford, breaking the Marines’ formation and allowing Luffy and Ace to escape while Whitebeard continued fighting. Roy slaughtered Marine officers, then faced Saint Saturn and Figarland Shamrock as the World Government arrived.
Roy killed Saint Saturn, withdrew from Marineford, and helped Whitebeard’s crew honor their fallen captain before forming an alliance with Ace. He challenged the World Government, spread Haki training across the seas, and prepared Hachinosu’s forces to take control of the New World.
Roy expanded Hachinosu’s reach, defeated Shiki in a final duel, and gained the Float-Float Fruit. He then oversaw experiments enabling multiple Devil Fruit powers and heart transplants, and the arc ended as Hachinosu’s fighters chose new fruits.
Roy gathered more Devil Fruit powers, set events in motion to awaken Luffy’s Nika fruit, and brought Vegapunk and Egghead’s research to Hachinosu. As Hachinosu strengthened its forces, the World Government shifted its attention to Luffy and Akainu prepared a military move into the New World.
Roy maneuvered Hachinosu, Kaido, and the Marines while setting plans around Luffy’s growth and Wano’s hidden allies. The Straw Hat Pirates reached Wano and began gathering information and Kozuki supporters as Roy watched from Onigashima.
Luffy and his allies built a force to rescue Kid and challenge Kaido, while Luffy, Zoro, and Kid learned Ryuo in Udon. The alliance landed on Onigashima and faced Kaido as the battle began.
Luffy and the Straw Hat Alliance fought Kaido as Roy pushed the battle toward Luffy’s awakening, while the Marines arrived and clashed with the Beasts Pirates. After Roy defeated Ryokugyu and Luffy appeared to die, Luffy’s presence returned beneath the Skull Dome as his Gum-Gum Fruit began awakening.
Luffy awakened his Nika powers in Wano, but Kaido and Roy defeated the alliance and drove the Straw Hats to retreat. After months of training and a visit to Hachinosu, Luffy learned that the final Road Poneglyph was in Elbaf and sailed there as Roy prepared his own plan.
Roy gathered allies and prepared to strike as the World Government moved against Elbaf, where Luffy’s search for Shanks drew him into conflict with Loki and Imu. The arc ended with Loki and Luffy confronting Imu, Gaban critically wounded, and Roy’s forces advancing toward the battle.
Roy and the allied forces fought Imu and the Five Elders on Elbaf, while Roy was trapped inside the magic circle and awakened the Dark-Dark Fruit with Davy Jones’s help. After Imu’s defeat and Roy’s recovery, Shanks gave Roy the last Road Poneglyph rubbing, and Loki accepted Luffy’s invitation to join his crew.
Roy and the Straw Hats uncovered Laugh Tale’s history, the World Government’s betrayal, and Joy Boy’s hidden treasures before returning to prepare for war. Luffy became Pirate King and tested his new strength against Roy, while Roy gathered allies and forces for the coming assault on Mary Geoise.
Roy led the alliance from Hachinosu through the Marine defenses and into Mary Geoise, where he cleared the Black Turn monsters and uncovered the sleeping rulers of the World Government. After severing the kings’ shared bond, Roy faced Imu as the ruler transformed and began overwhelming the allied fighters.
