Chapter Summaries

Roy used the other emperors’ weakness after the battle over Pure Gold to launch a campaign for their border territories. Bullet and Hawk Eyes quickly brought islands and kingdoms under Hachinosu’s banner, while Tesoro’s southern campaign was still underway.

• After two days of celebrations, Roy gathered Hachinosu’s core members and proposed expanding while Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Big Mom were weakened.
• Roy assigned Bullet to advance into Whitebeard’s territory, Hawk Eyes to target Golden Lion’s territory, and Tesoro to move against Big Mom’s; Crocodile took charge of intelligence.
• The three fleets left Hachinosu the next morning, and over the following months they pressed into the New World.
• Bullet captured seven islands and two kingdoms in Whitebeard’s northern territory, and he and Savi defeated Marco when Marco tried to intercept them; Whitebeard chose not to retaliate.
• Hawk Eyes took five islands and three kingdoms in Golden Lion’s eastern territory, mostly without fighting, while Golden Lion focused on studying Pure Gold.

Tesoro’s campaign brought more than ten kingdoms and dozens of islands under Hachinosu’s control before Roy ordered the expansion to stop, while the injured Emperors and the Marines held back. Three months later, Doflamingo arrived at Hachinosu and Kalifa escorted him toward a meeting with Roy.

• Tesoro and the Roy Pirates seized territories belonging to Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Big Mom, defeating their officers’ attempts to reclaim them.
• Roy halted the expansion, and Crocodile’s agents forced resistant kings to comply or replaced them as Hachinosu reorganized its new territories.
• Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Big Mom accepted the losses, while Sengoku kept the Marines from intervening and began expanding their forces.
• A lookout spotted Doflamingo’s warship approaching Hachinosu, and Roy instructed Kalifa to bring its visitors to the meeting room.
• Doflamingo arrived with Trebol, Diamante, and Pica, and Kalifa greeted them and led them toward Roy.

Doflamingo visited Roy on Hachinosu to trade for perfect Bloodline Transplantation technology, beyond the ordinary place his earlier intelligence deal had earned him. He revealed two Devil Fruits as bargaining chips, and the Hobby-Hobby Fruit’s power shocked Kalifa and surprised Roy.

• Doflamingo surveyed Hachinosu and met Roy, insisting he wanted perfect Bloodline Transplantation technology for the core members rather than an ordinary place.
• Roy refused to trade the technology for Doflamingo’s original intelligence deal, explaining that it was a core secret worth far more than one place.
• Doflamingo presented two treasure chests as additional bargaining chips and opened the smaller one to reveal the Gold-Gold Fruit.
• Doflamingo opened the larger chest and revealed the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, explaining that it turned touched people into toys and erased them from everyone’s memories.
• Kalifa dropped her documents in alarm at the Hobby-Hobby Fruit’s power, while Roy showed surprise.

Roy accepted Doflamingo’s offer of two Devil Fruits in exchange for a perfect Bloodline Transplantation for Doflamingo and ordinary transplants for five subordinates, then warned him to stay away from restricted areas on Hachinosu. The next day, Roy watched Lafitte, Van Augur, and Burgess spar with the crew and noted their progress and loyalty.

• Doflamingo offered Roy the Hobby-Hobby Fruit and the Gold-Gold Fruit for one perfect Bloodline Transplantation and five ordinary ones, and Roy agreed.
• Dr. Gracia took samples and led Diamante, Pica, Trebol, Corazon, and Vergo away to receive their ordinary transplants while Doflamingo’s perfect transplant was prepared.
• Roy warned Doflamingo not to trespass in the research base, laboratory building, or treasury, and Kalifa escorted him to the guest building.
• The next day, Lafitte, Van Augur, and Jesus Burgess sparred with Yamato, Enel, and Savi, showing how much they had improved.
• Roy watched the training and judged that the three had grown stronger while remaining loyal.

Roy rewarded Lafitte and Burgess with Devil Fruits and let Van Augur choose the power he wanted to pursue. He promised to help them obtain Van Augur’s desired Warp-Warp Fruit and sent the three away to develop their abilities.

• Roy named Lafitte, Van Augur, and Burgess core reserve members and invited them to choose Devil Fruits from his vault.
• Roy recommended the Clone-Clone Fruit for Lafitte and the Strong-Strong Fruit for Burgess, and both accepted and ate their choices.
• Van Augur rejected Roy’s suggested Door-Door Fruit and said he wanted the Warp-Warp Fruit from a bounty hunter he had once encountered.
• Roy promised to have Crocodile investigate the Warp-Warp Fruit user and said Hachinosu could extract a Devil Fruit from a living person.
• Roy gave Lafitte and Burgess advice about developing their new powers, then returned to his office to review documents.

Dr. Vegapunk dismissed the World Government’s request to replicate Pure Gold and continued his own research. On Hachinosu, Nico Olvia uncovered records that the Skypieans came from the moon, but Roy postponed an expedition until his territories were stable and asked Crocodile to locate a Warp-Warp Fruit user.

• CP0 agents delivered Pure Gold fragments to Dr. Vegapunk on the Five Elders’ orders, but he identified them as fake and returned to his research.
• Nico Olvia found ancient texts describing the Skypieans’ lunar origins and advanced technology, then brought her discovery to Roy.
• Roy told Olvia he had already found lunar ruins and a spaceship wreck on Sky Island, but said he would postpone exploring the moon until Bullet and the others returned and Hachinosu’s new territories were secure.
• Roy asked Crocodile to investigate the Warp-Warp Fruit user Van Augur had encountered in the West Blue.

After the Pure Gold incident, a huge crowd arrived at Hachinosu seeking to join the Roy Pirates. Roy agreed to screen them, and the chapter ended with spies exposed and executed as the survivors pledged loyalty.

• Pirates and other fighters flocked to Hachinosu, hoping to join the Roy Pirates after hearing about their strength during the Pure Gold incident.
• Roy discussed whether to accept the newcomers with Tesoro, Bullet, Hawk Eyes, and the Red Count, then decided to screen them.
• Roy gathered the applicants at the training ground and had Yamato unleash his Conqueror's Haki as the first test.
• Roy and the Red Count used Observation Haki to identify seventeen Marine spies, nine undercover CP agents, and other infiltrators pretending to be unconscious or hiding their identities.
• Roy ordered the more than forty infiltrators killed and warned the crowd that Hachinosu would not tolerate divided loyalties.
• The remaining applicants shouted promises of loyalty to Roy.

Roy screened new recruits on Hachinosu, assigned them roles and training, and formalized the Roy Pirates’ hierarchy and rules. With the reorganization complete, the crew controlled more than fifty islands and over twenty thousand fighters, shifting the balance of power in the New World.

• Roy used Yamato’s Conqueror’s Haki and his gravity field to screen the recruits, keeping a dozen who endured fifteen times normal gravity for special training.
• Roy assigned those who failed the trials to the outer forces or reserve ranks, while the gene soldier captains organized their training and duties.
• Roy granted the strongest recruits access to a gravity room and instructors, then recorded their skills and fighting styles.
• After a week of reorganization, Roy announced Hachinosu’s ranks, resources, and rules, including execution for anyone who broke them.
• News of the Roy Pirates’ growing territory and forces spread, leaving Whitebeard silent, Golden Lion dismissive, Big Mom furious, and Sengoku unable to act.

Hachinosu began training its new recruits, and Roy selected Kazami and Wakari Bar for specialized instruction after observing their abilities. The recruits were divided into tiers for training and support roles, while those who failed screening were sent away.

• The new recruits began basic training, while Bullet put the top students through fifteen-times-gravity drills and sparring.
• Hawk Eyes noticed Kazami's swordsmanship and footwork, and Roy approved him for training with Hawk Eyes and a future Bloodline Transplantation.
• Bullet tested Wakari Bar's strength and durability, then chose him for personal training.
• Roy transmitted knowledge of the Six Powers, Haki, and swordsmanship to Kazami and Bar.
• Hachinosu assigned its recruits to the Reserve Camp, Training Camp, or peripheral forces, and sent the screened-out candidates away.

Roy put Hachinosu under strict rules and prepared the Ark Maxim for a journey to the moon, where he hoped to find ancient technology. With Kaido agreeing to watch over Hachinosu, Roy and his companions launched into space and began flying toward the moon.

• Roy announced four rules for Hachinosu, forbidding harm to civilians, private fights, and betrayal, with execution as the punishment for breaking them.
• Roy and Tom completed upgrades to the Ark Maxim, adding air recycling, backup thrusters, and an energy shield for the space voyage.
• Roy invited Hachinosu's core members to the moon and asked Kaido to oversee the island while he was away; Kaido agreed and asked Roy to take King along.
• Three days later, Roy departed Hachinosu aboard the Ark Maxim with a large group of companions and scientists, as Stella and the others watched from the harbor.
• The Ark Maxim climbed beyond the clouds into space, and Roy led the crew toward the moon.

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.
• Roy landed the Ark Maxim on a flat plateau and created a safe zone with his Telekinesis.
• Yamato and Pea tested the moon’s low gravity while Roy assigned the group to explore and collect samples.
• Olvia and the scientists found worked metal fragments scattered across the lunar surface.
• Roy and Olvia discovered ruins marked with Ancient Script matching the writing found in Sky Island’s ancient books.
• 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.
• A scientist touched the stele, awakening a mechanical warrior that attacked the group until Roy restrained it and King’s Lunarian blood made it recognize him.
• 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 led the group into the passage, where Olvia recorded and translated murals chronicling the Moon People's rise and decline.
• Olvia translated murals explaining that the Moon People modified some of their people into the Gods' Tribe, including the ancestors of King.
• Roy and Olvia learned that the Moon People built Uranus and successfully test-fired it on an island in the Blue Sea.
• Roy ordered everyone to keep the discoveries secret, then took King deeper into the passage.
• 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.
• Roy shielded the group and assessed the warriors’ strength, then noticed that their attacks avoided King and that they stopped when he moved among them.
• King recognized that the warriors were responding to his bloodline and led the group to a Lunarian-marked door, which he opened with his palm.
• 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 concluded that the World Government had seized Uranus and exterminated the Lunarians to erase the bloodline that could wield it, while King vowed to grow strong enough to reclaim his people's legacy.
• 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.
• Kazami tested his swordsmanship against Hawk Eyes, while Bullet trained Bar and the Reserve Camp soldiers.
• Lafitte advanced his Clone-Clone Fruit, Van Augur gained the Warp-Warp Fruit, and Jesus Burgess developed his strength with the Strong-Strong Fruit.
• 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.

• Kalifa told Roy that Doflamingo’s family had been contacting black-market merchants, and Roy ordered Crocodile to monitor them.
• Roy saw a ship bearing the Donquixote Family’s flamingo-shaped prow arrive at Hachinosu and went to the harbor.
• The kings gathered at Sabaody for the Reverie, where Kizaru watched their arrivals and Queen Otohime arrived from Fish-Man Island.
• Aokiji warned Queen Otohime that Mary Geoise was not easy to reason with, but she continued toward the Reverie with hope for her people.
• 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.
