Chapter Summaries

At the Reverie, Saint Saturn demanded stronger defenses, a ten percent increase in Heavenly Tribute, and cooperation against the Revolutionary Army.

• 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.

• 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.
