Chapter Summaries

Roy fully unleashed his fused bloodline powers and cut through Sengoku’s strongest Buddha palm, gravely wounding the Fleet Admiral. As Roy declared himself satisfied with the test, the battlefield’s balance shifted and the Marines’ hope of defeating the Roy Pirates faded.

• Sengoku recognized Roy’s fused Lunarian, Oni, and Buccaneer traits and resolved to kill him and seize the bloodline technology.
• Sengoku used Mahavairocana Palm to trap Roy beneath a massive Buddha-light attack.
• Roy fully unleashed his fused powers, empowered Shusui, and cut Sengoku’s attack in half with one slash.
• Roy’s slash struck Sengoku’s Buddha Form, leaving a severe wound that his Haki could not immediately heal.
• Roy thanked Sengoku for the match as the stunned battlefield recognized that the battle had turned against the Marines.

Roy and his companions exploited Sengoku’s injury to break through the Marine formation and escape toward a secret passage at the edge of the Red Line. The Marines were left to regroup as Roy’s crew withdrew under cover of their combined attack.

• Sengoku was badly wounded, and his injury distracted Zephyr, Kizaru, and Aokiji, allowing Bullet, Hawk Eyes, and Tesoro to injure them.
• Zephyr rallied the Marines and ordered them to protect Sengoku and trap Roy and his companions with a regrouped formation.
• Roy judged the test complete and ordered Bullet, Hawk Eyes, and Tesoro to open a path toward the secret passage.
• Roy slowed the charging Marines with his Psychic Field, and Bullet smashed a gap through their formation.
• Hawk Eyes held the gap open with sword strikes while Tesoro covered it with a lightning corridor.
• Roy led the retreat, followed by Bullet and Hawk Eyes, while Tesoro withdrew last and used lightning to hinder Kizaru and Aokiji.

Roy and the other three escaped the Red Line pass after the Navy’s strongest fighters failed to stop them. Shiki, Redfield, and Kaido cleared their path, leaving the Navy in a rout and Sengoku unconscious.

• Kizaru and Aokiji halted the pursuit, and Zephyr ordered the defeated Navy forces to retreat.
• Navy, CP0, and Holy Knights units tried to ambush Roy’s group along the passage.
• Shiki tore up the Red Line’s rock and buried the forces blocking the escape route.
• Redfield silently killed a hidden squad of Holy Knights preparing to attack Roy.
• Kaido burned retreating Navy troops and crushed the position of several Vice Admirals, causing Sengoku to lose consciousness.
• Shiki, Redfield, and Kaido cleared the final obstacles and left Roy’s group an open route to escape.

Roy and his companions escaped the Red Line and reunited with Dragon, Rayleigh, and the rescued slaves at Sabaody. Fisher Tiger founded the Sun Pirates, while the Revolutionary Army and Roy’s group prepared to part ways.

• Roy and his companions raced through the Golden Lion’s cleared passage, contacted Dragon, and flew down from the Red Line toward Sabaody.
• Roy arrived at Area 13, where Rayleigh and Shakky had arranged ships, supplies, and medical care for the rescued slaves.
• Dragon led more than a thousand volunteers away to join the Revolutionary Army, while Fisher Tiger established the Sun Pirates for the remaining rescued people.
• Roy gave the Golden Lion his promised treasure and two Paramecia Devil Fruits, and invited the Red Count to investigate clues about the Mythical Zoan Vampire Fruit.
• Roy and Dragon exchanged farewells before the Revolutionary Army departed with its new recruits.

Roy and his allies left Sabaody after raiding Mary Geoise, and the news of the attack sent shockwaves across the world. As powerful forces reacted and the Marines debated retaliation, Roy's conflict with the World Government became unavoidable.

• Roy divided the spoils with Kaido, then left Sabaody aboard the Ark Maxim with Tiger, the Sun Pirates, and the freed slaves bound for Hachinosu.
• News Coos published a special edition revealing the raid on Mary Geoise, the liberation of thousands of slaves, and the suspected participants, including Roy and Fisher Tiger.
• Whitebeard welcomed the attack but warned that the World Government would target Roy, while Big Mom sought renewed contact with Hachinosu to discuss treasure and a marriage proposal.
• Shanks and Beckman discussed Roy's rising influence, and Kaido celebrated making the headlines while ordering preparations concerning Kurozumi Orochi and Kozuki Oden to accelerate.
• At Marineford, Akainu demanded an immediate expedition against Hachinosu, but Kizaru warned that the powerful allies and freed slaves there would make an assault dangerous.

The Marines raised the Roy Pirates’ bounties after deciding a direct assault on Hachinosu would be too costly. The Five Elders launched a covert operation to gather intelligence and target Roy, while Roy prepared for the coming threat.

• Sengoku ordered new bounties for Roy, Douglas Bullet, Dracule Mihawk, Gild Tesoro, Fisher Tiger, and the other core officers.
• Roy reviewed the operation’s spoils and told Kuma to support Fisher Tiger and Crocodile to monitor the Marines, World Government, CP0, and Holy Knights.
• Crocodile’s intelligence report revealed that the Five Elders were furious about the losses at Mary Geoise and were focused on Hachinosu.
• The Five Elders rejected an immediate full-scale assault and ordered CP0 and the Science Unit to infiltrate the New World, while Marines massed near the New World entrance and Marine G-1 Branch.
• Saint Saturn secretly ordered contact with “that person” to begin fulfilling Lord Imu’s promised conditions, with Roy’s death and Hachinosu’s destruction as the objective.
• Roy stood on Hachinosu’s upgraded defenses, gripped Black Blade Shusui, and prepared to face the approaching threat.

One week after Roy returned to Hachinosu, the World Government’s bounties made the Roy Pirates and their allies targets across the New World. With the Navy gathering forces and CP0 agents infiltrating nearby waters, Roy decided to turn the pressure into a trap.

• The Roy Pirates reviewed their new bounties, including Roy’s 2.5 billion Beli bounty and the combined total of more than ten billion Beli for the crew and its allies.
• Roy warned that the bounties were meant to draw enemies to Hachinosu, not honor the crew.
• Crocodile reported that more than sixty Navy warships had gathered at G-1 under Monkey D. Garp, with Sakazuki as deputy commander.
• Crocodile and Stella reported a surge in bounty hunters, suspicious ships, CP0 agents, and unfamiliar merchants around Hachinosu.
• Roy ordered the crew to use the outsiders as training for its recruits and to find the CP0 agents so they could be lured into a trap.

Roy put Hachinosu on full war footing as the Marines prepared to pressure the island and send CP0 to steal its bloodline transplantation technology. Hachinosu accelerated its Sea Train construction and prepared to transplant enhanced bloodlines into three hundred elite soldiers, leaving the island braced for the coming conflict.

• Roy assigned Bullet, Hawk Eyes, Tesoro, Crocodile, and Kuma their wartime duties and ordered Hachinosu to prepare its defenses and supplies.
• At G-1, Garp advised Akainu to follow Sengoku’s plan, maintain pressure, and let CP0 infiltrate Hachinosu before considering an assault.
• The CP0 chief received the Five Elders’ order to seize Hachinosu’s bloodline transplantation technology and led a masked team toward the island.
• Master Tom, Iceburg, and Kokoro accelerated Sea Train construction, with a test run connecting the inner islands expected in seven days.
• Dr. Gracia told Roy that the embryos for three hundred elite soldiers were ready for transplantation in three days, and Roy ordered him to expand the program.

Roy chose the Shadow Leopard Mythical Zoan for Rob Lucci, who ate it and began training for a purge scheduled three days later. As Hachinosu prepared for the operation and a ghost ship approached, Fisher Tiger formally declared a permanent alliance between the Sun Pirates and the Roy Pirates.

• Roy reviewed eight Devil Fruits taken from the Celestial Dragons' vaults and selected the Shadow Leopard Fruit for Rob Lucci.
• Roy gave Lucci the Shadow Leopard Fruit, and Lucci swore eternal loyalty to the Roy Pirates before eating it.
• Lucci transformed with his new powers and left to train on Trial Island ahead of the purge.
• Three days later, Hachinosu went on high alert as troops prepared to deploy, while a ghost ship approached the island.
• Fisher Tiger declared a permanent alliance between the Sun Pirates and the Roy Pirates.

Roy welcomed the Sun Pirates as allies and began joint training between Fish-Men and human soldiers at Hachinosu. A month later, Crocodile uncovered signs that CP0 agents were scouting the island’s defenses, and Roy recognized the threat.

• Roy agreed to the Sun Pirates’ proposal, and Fisher Tiger and the pirates pledged to train and fight alongside the Roy Pirates.
• Kuma oversaw joint training between Fish-Man warriors and human soldiers, who gradually learned to trust and coordinate with one another.
• At dinner, Roy offered bloodline transplantation assessments to the Sun Pirates’ core members, and Fisher Tiger thanked him for giving his people a home.
• A month into preparations, Crocodile showed Roy suspicious vessels and blurry recordings of agents using Geppo to scout Hachinosu.
• Crocodile estimated that at least five to seven powerful agents were probing the island’s defenses, and Roy identified them as CP0.

Roy and his allies uncovered a CP0 plot to infiltrate Hachinosu and steal Dr. Gracia’s bloodline transplantation technology. After Lucci tracked the elite agents to their hideout, Roy prepared to close the net as the spies readied their attack.

• Hawk Eyes detected that an infiltrator had replaced a soldier, and Roy used the Telekinesis Fruit to identify hostile spies across Hachinosu.
• Crocodile realized the exposed infiltrators were bait and identified Dr. Gracia’s laboratory as the true target.
• Roy ordered his forces to leave the bait undisturbed while Lucci and Kaku traced the elite agents and searched for their hideout.
• Lucci followed a disguised merchant to an underground warehouse, where five CP0 agents planned to attack the laboratory and palace in three days.
• Roy learned the agents’ location and prepared to close the net while Silver Fox and the others made their final preparations under Roy’s telekinetic surveillance.

Roy used the Telekinesis Fruit to locate and capture all thirty-seven infiltrators on Hachinosu, then read Silver Fox’s memories and learned the Five Elders had ordered the operation. He predicted the enemy would target his allies next, and Kaido called to report trouble in Wano Country.

• Roy detected all thirty-seven infiltrators and ordered Hachinosu’s forces to capture them without leaving survivors.
• Bullet, Tesoro, Lucci, and Hawk Eyes captured the spies and extraction team across the island and its surrounding waters.
• Roy restrained the five CP0 elites in the abandoned warehouse, and Tesoro stopped Silver Fox from swallowing a poison capsule.
• Roy used Mental Intrusion to learn that the Five Elders had ordered the agents to steal the bloodline transplantation technology and capture Dr. Gracia.
• Roy predicted the enemy would target the Sun Pirates and Kaido next, then received Kaido’s urgent call about trouble in Wano Country.

Roy learned that Kaido was under attack from Orochi, Kozuki Oden’s rebels, and forces from the World Government, CP0, and Marines. After arranging Hachinosu’s defenses, Roy departed for Wano with Tesoro and Yamato, heading into a conflict that could reshape the New World.

• Kaido told Roy that Orochi had secretly allied with the World Government, while Kozuki Oden and the samurai prepared an uprising and enemy forces infiltrated Wano.
• Roy gave Kaido thirty minutes to arrange reinforcements and summoned the Roy Pirates’ core members to plan Hachinosu’s defense.
• Roy assigned Bullet overall command of Hachinosu, gave Hawk Eyes, Crocodile, Kuma, and others specific duties, and chose Tesoro and Yamato to accompany him.
• Roy, Tesoro, and Yamato boarded the Ark Maxim and flew toward Wano Country.
• Roy warned that the conflict could involve Kaido’s forces, Oden’s rebels, and the World Government, while also revealing that Wano’s hidden secrets might surface amid the chaos.

Roy and the Roy Pirates arrived at Wano Country, where Marines and Cipher Pol agents ambushed them at the waterfall. Tesoro routed the forces with powerful lightning attacks, leaving the three Vice Admirals battered as the confrontation continued.

• The Ark Maxim approached Wano Country, and Roy reassured Yamato before the crew began ascending the waterfall.
• Yamakaji, Strawberry, and Bastille led Marines and Cipher Pol agents in an ambush, revealing that thirty warships had surrounded Wano Country.
• Roy ordered Tesoro to clear the field, and Tesoro unleashed a Thunder Dragon that struck down the Cipher Pol agents and weakened the Vice Admirals.
• Tesoro launched Raigo at the Marine soldiers, routing nearly a hundred and fifty troops and leaving Yamakaji struggling to counterattack.

Roy and Tesoro defeated the Marines’ vice admirals at the waterfall, then continued to Onigashima to meet Kaido. Their arrival ended with Kaido addressing Yamato, whose allegiance to Roy’s crew complicated their reunion.

• Roy used psychokinesis and Shusui to defeat Yamakaji, Strawberry, and Bastille, while Tesoro had already overwhelmed the weaker opponents.
• The surviving CP0 elites fled, and Roy let them escape so the Marines and World Government would learn he had arrived in Wano Country.
• Roy, Tesoro, and Yamato sailed through the waterfall toward Onigashima as Roy wondered whether the Marines’ real target was Kaido, Wano’s seastone, or himself.
• Roy and his companions arrived at Onigashima and were escorted to Kaido’s main hall, where the Beasts Pirates’ core members had gathered.
• Kaido greeted Roy, then saw Yamato wearing the Roy Pirates’ uniform and told her she had not forgotten she was his daughter or the Beasts Pirates.

Roy stopped Kaido from attacking Yamato and affirmed Yamato’s place as a member of the Roy Pirates. King then outlined the rival forces in Wano Country, leaving Roy to face a seized Seastone mine, a mysterious force near the Flower Capital, and Kozuki Oden’s growing rebellion.

• Yamato declared that he had come to Wano on Roy’s orders as a member of the Roy Pirates, not as Kaido’s daughter.
• Kaido attacked Yamato, but Roy blocked his punch and urged him to recognize that Yamato had chosen to come help the Beasts Pirates.
• Kaido’s anger eased, and Roy turned the discussion to the situation in Wano Country.
• King reported that Kurozumi Orochi and CP0 had seized the northern Seastone mine with more than a thousand men, while another unidentified force had appeared near the Flower Capital.
• King described Kozuki Oden’s support from Hyogoro, Shimotsuki Yasuie, escaped mine prisoners, and the Nine Red Scabbards, estimating Oden’s forces at more than three thousand.

Roy and Kaido planned their forces’ response to Kozuki Oden’s rebels, CP0, and Kurozumi Orochi, while Yamato joined Roy’s operation to seize the Seastone mine. In the Flower Capital, Orochi panicked over Roy’s arrival and threatened to abandon CP0, whose chief reminded him of their agreement.

• King reported that the Beasts Pirates had gathered about three thousand fighters on Onigashima, including five hundred genetic warriors, and warned that the Marines might have secretly entered Wano Country.
• Roy proposed that Kaido defend Onigashima against Kozuki Oden’s rebels while Roy and Tesoro attacked CP0 and Kurozumi Orochi’s forces, retook the Seastone mine, and then returned to help Kaido.
• Kaido accepted Roy’s plan and ordered King to coordinate Onigashima’s defenses and Queen to prepare his weapons.
• Yamato asked to join Roy’s operation, and Roy agreed to have her lead the five hundred genetic warriors in occupying the mine after he and Tesoro cleared CP0’s main force.
• Kurozumi Orochi panicked when he learned Roy had arrived in Wano Country and confronted the CP0 chief, who revealed that the ambush at the waterfall had failed.
• Orochi threatened to surrender to Kaido, but the CP0 chief pressured him to honor their agreement to trade Seastone and open Wano Country to the World Government.

Kurozumi Orochi was abandoned to fend for himself as Garp and the CP0 chief pursued their separate plans concerning Roy and Kaido. In Kuri, Kozuki Oden gathered his allies and confessed his failure, leaving the hall to face his remorse and resolve.

• Kurozumi Orochi begged Garp for protection, but Garp refused, saying his mission was to deal with Kaido.
• The CP0 chief threatened Kurozumi Orochi into cooperating, then ordered Garp to protect him in the Five Elders’ name.
• Garp rejected the order, left Kurozumi Orochi alone, and told his Vice Admirals to watch Kaido while letting CP0 confront Roy first.
• Kozuki Oden assembled the Nine Red Scabbards, Hyogoro, Shimotsuki Yasuie, and samurai leaders at Oden Castle.
• Kozuki Oden knelt, admitted he had foolishly trusted Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido, and apologized for the hostages’ deaths and his failure to Wano Country.

Kozuki Oden won the support of his allies after vowing to reclaim Wano Country and open its borders. That night, Roy appeared in Oden’s room, demonstrated his power, and insisted he had come without hostile intentions.

• Oden vowed not to trust Orochi, Kaido, or outsiders again and called on his allies to help reclaim Wano Country.
• Kin'emon and the other Red Scabbards, Hyogoro, Yasuie, and their followers pledged to serve Oden.
• Oden told Kozuki Toki he had resolved to risk his life for Wano, and Toki promised to stand by him.
• Roy appeared outside Oden’s chambers, entered, and said he had come peacefully.
• Roy used telekinetic force to restrain Oden and Toki, but Oden broke through part of it with his Conqueror’s Haki; Roy then withdrew the force and said he had been joking.

Roy met with Kozuki Oden to explain that he and Kaido would not give up Wano Country because they depended on its Seastone. Oden refused to abandon his fight to reclaim the country, and Roy left after their talks failed, setting the stage for a battle.

• Roy explained to Kozuki Oden that he and Kaido could not give up Wano Country because its Seastone was vital to them.
• Roy warned Oden that defeat could put Kozuki Toki and their children in danger, but Oden insisted he had to reclaim Wano Country and open its borders.
• Roy accepted that Oden would not change his mind and said they would meet on the battlefield.
• Roy left Oden and Kozuki Toki, boarded the Ark Maxim, and told Tesoro that the talks had broken down.
