The allied forces defeated the Army as the Red Count captured Kong, Kuina, Zoro, and Sanji subdued Fujitora, and Kizaru fled. Roy led the victorious forces to Pangaea Castle, where he sensed no living people and warned the officers that something was wrong.

• The allied forces advanced on Pangaea Castle and raised their flags above it.
• Roy found Pangaea Castle eerily empty, sensed no living people with Observation Haki, and warned the officers to be careful.

Roy and the allied forces found Pangaea Castle deserted, then discovered Shamrock had sacrificed the Celestial Dragons to unleash Black Turn monsters. As the creatures overwhelmed the vanguard and regenerated after attacks, Roy ordered the officers to protect the soldiers while they retreated toward the Red Line.

• Roy searched the empty city and sensed fading traces of life beneath the square as the ground began to shake.
• Shamrock performed a ritual underground, sacrificing the Celestial Dragons to create a barrier and release Black Turn energy.

• Roy told the officers to cover the ordinary soldiers as they retreated in an orderly manner toward the Red Line.

Roy used the Darkness Domain to devour the black mist sustaining the Black Turn monsters and clear Pangaea Castle. After reclaiming much of Davy Jones's origin power, he discovered a more dangerous darkness deep beneath the city.

• Roy ordered everyone to retreat to the Red Line while Tesoro held back the monsters with a golden barrier.
• After the barrier shattered, Roy unleashed the Darkness Domain and began stripping the black mist from the monsters across Pangaea Castle.
• Roy absorbed the monsters' black mist, strengthening his Dark-Dark Fruit, Telekinesis, Soul-Soul Fruit, and Haki as the creatures crumbled away.
• Within half an hour, Roy's Darkness Domain cleared the city and dragged the last monsters from the underground fissures.
• Roy examined the largest fissure, sensed a more ancient and dangerous darkness below, and told the officers the battle was not over.

After the allied forces regrouped in Pangaea Castle, Roy discovered that nineteen ancient kings were the true rulers of the World Government. He led fifteen powerful allies underground to confront them and found Shamrock feeding black energy into their coffins.

• Roy opened the stone door to the chamber, where nineteen figures stood before their coffins and Shamrock fed black energy into them.

Roy and his allies confronted Imu and the eighteen ancient kings awakened beneath Pangaea Castle. After rejecting Imu’s offer of allegiance, they prepared to fight as the kings rose through the shattered ceiling.

• Roy entered the vast chamber with Luffy, Kaido, Hawk Eyes, and their other allies as Shamrock completed his ritual and disintegrated.
• Nineteen coffins cracked open, revealing the true Imu and the eighteen kings who had slept for eight hundred years.
• Imu offered Roy’s group a place among the Celestial Dragons in exchange for their weapons, the Array-Array Fruit, and their allegiance.
• Roy rejected Imu’s terms and attacked him with a Telekinesis-enhanced slash that broke his black shield and cut a coffin in two.
• The nineteen kings unleashed their Conqueror’s Haki, shaking Pangaea Castle and forcing allied soldiers on the surface to their knees.
• Roy and his allies assumed fighting stances as Imu and the eighteen kings soared through the shattered ceiling.

Roy discovered that the nineteen kings shared their healing through black mist generated by a gray-robed elder, then used the allied forces to pin the kings down while he slipped toward the source. The chapter ended as Roy nullified the elder’s power and swung Shusui at him.

• Kaido, Loki, Hawk Eyes, and Shanks fought the Barbarian King, Mountain King, Sword King, and Shadow King while the other kings joined the battle.
• The allied fighters wounded the kings, but each injury healed as black mist flowed between them.
• Roy observed the mist and realized the gray-robed elder at the center of the nineteen kings was supplying their shared healing.
• Roy ordered the fighters to hold the kings in place and switched the allied forces to defense.
• Roy concealed his presence, reached the elder, and used the Dark-Dark Fruit to nullify his power before attacking with Shusui.

Roy used the Dark-Dark Fruit to nullify the connection binding the nineteen kings and killed the gray-robed elder. With the remaining eighteen kings restrained by his allies, Roy advanced toward them.

• Roy discovered that the elder could not be killed while the nineteen kings shared their injuries and power.
• Roy used the Dark-Dark Fruit and Telekinesis-Telekinesis Fruit to sever the elder's connection to the other kings.
• Roy cut off the elder's head with Shusui, and the other eighteen kings spat black blood as their shared bond was disrupted.
• Kaido, Loki, Hawk Eyes, and Shanks kept the eighteen kings occupied as Roy walked toward them.

After the linked kings lost their healing core, the alliance exploited the connection to devastate them, but Imu absorbed the other kings and the healing core to become a colossal, immensely powerful monster. Imu overwhelmed the allied forces with black flame, lightning, mental pressure, gravity, and warped space, leaving Roy and the others struggling to withstand his attacks.

• Roy announced that the thread linking the kings had become a liability, and the allied fighters attacked them together, inflicting widespread injuries that spread across all eighteen.

• Imu struck the allied line with a colossal black-flame blade, knocking Kaido and Loki aside and badly burning Loki.
• Imu unleashed Conqueror's Haki-infused lightning, a mental attack, and crushing gravity, injuring Yamato and King and forcing Zoro, Sanji, Luffy, and others to struggle.
• Imu warped space and tore several allied soldiers apart as Roy's Telekinesis Domain shielded only those nearby from most of the gravity.

Imu offered Roy and his allies eternal life and power in exchange for their submission, but Roy rejected him and Luffy joined him in the fight. After Imu’s black-flame attack, Roy ordered the other fighters to retreat, leaving only him and Luffy to face Imu.

• Imu tempted Roy and his allies with eternal life and rule over the world if Roy surrendered the Array-Array Fruit and killed Nika.
• Roy used the Dark-Dark Fruit to break Imu’s mental influence, and Luffy rejected Imu’s offer as well.
• Imu attacked Roy and Luffy with a massive torrent of black flames, and both fought back but were battered by the blast.
• Roy ordered the allied officers and other fighters to retreat, explaining that Imu’s power made the battle too dangerous for them.
• Kaido, Loki, Hawk Eyes, Shanks, and the others withdrew, leaving Roy and Luffy alone to face Imu.

Roy unleashed the Davy Jones Origin as the King of Darkness, while Luffy awakened the Nika Origin as the Sun God, and together they fought Imu above the Red Line. After half an hour of battle, Imu’s attacks had failed to overcome either of them, though Roy and Luffy had both suffered injuries.

• Roy formed black divine armor by unleashing the Davy Jones Origin and called himself the King of Darkness.
• Luffy unleashed the Nika Origin, became a towering white giant, and called himself the Sun God.
• Roy and Luffy charged Imu, beginning the final battle as their clash shook the Red Line and forced the officers and troops to retreat.
• Roy used his Darkness Domain, Telekinesis, and Soul-Soul Fruit powers to counter Imu’s attacks while Luffy absorbed and rebounded from them with his rubber body.
• Imu unleashed all eighteen abilities at once, but Roy’s defenses blocked the barrage and Luffy quickly sprang back into shape.
• Luffy taunted Imu, who grew anxious after half an hour of fighting without seriously harming Roy or Luffy.

Roy and Luffy joined forces to overwhelm Imu, who tried to sacrifice everyone on the Red Line to regain his strength. Roy trapped Imu in the Black Cage, and Luffy launched his Sun God Fist, leaving the final blow unresolved.

• Imu burned his own origin and attacked Roy and Luffy with the combined power of eighteen abilities.
• Roy and Luffy charged Imu together, and their collision shook the Red Line with a blinding explosion.
• The blast left Imu weakened and afraid while Roy and Luffy remained standing.
• Imu began spreading black flames across the Red Line to sacrifice its inhabitants and restore his power.
• Roy bound Imu in the Black Cage, preventing him from completing the ritual and draining his strength.
• Luffy gathered his Conqueror's Haki and Nika Origin into a giant fist, then began his Sun God Fist attack.

Roy defeated Imu, ending the World Government’s eight-hundred-year rule, and the Red Line collapsed to join the Four Blues. As the Revolutionary Army began rebuilding the world, Roy and the Straw Hat crew sailed into a new era.

• Roy’s Darkness Domain devoured Imu’s remains after the nineteen ancient kings fell, and sunlight cleared the sky above the Red Line.
