• Roy rejected Tesoro's suggestion to keep following the Roger Pirates and announced that the crew would build a laboratory and base in Wano Country.

• Three days later, the Ark Maxim reached Qiya, where most of the crew went shopping and Bullet and Hawk Eyes stayed aboard to train.
• Roy gave Tesoro the shopping list, then visited a secluded bookstore and asked its old owner for intelligence.

Roy gathered intelligence about Wano Country and brought the Ark Maxim and his crew there to establish a base and seek cooperation with Kaido. The ship crossed Wano’s waterfall, and the crew surveyed the rugged country beyond it.

• Roy bought a detailed intelligence booklet about Wano Country and learned that Kaido had been absent for three months, Orochi was consolidating power, and rumors said Kozuki Oden was alive.
• Roy returned to the docks, where Tesoro and the others had finished shopping, and ordered everyone aboard the Ark Maxim.

• Roy drew Shusui and used Command: Sharpness, creating an aura that appeared to cut cracks into the air as Kaido prepared to meet him.

Roy demonstrated a space-cutting strike that wounded Kaido and temporarily prevented him from healing, then proposed a research partnership in Wano Country. Kaido accepted the idea of a base and resources but resisted providing himself and King as research subjects, while Roy argued that powerful figures carried hidden bloodline abilities.

• Roy used Secret Art: Break to cut Kaido across the chest and block his regeneration with a lingering rule.

• Roy told Kaido he wanted to uncover the world’s truth, break its shackles, and let those around him live as they wished, while Kaido described his vision of a world ruled by strength.

• Kaido, Bullet, and Hawk Eyes attacked the island’s defenses, while Roy used spiritual power to conceal himself, King, and Tesoro as they slipped toward the central research area.

Roy and Tesoro raided Punk Hazard’s research area, seizing equipment, archives, and secret experimental samples for Dr. Gracia. As they moved the stolen materials toward the Ark Maxim, Sakazuki attacked them with a barrage of magma fists, and Roy called on Kaido to stop him.

• Roy froze the researchers, found the facility layout, and sent Tesoro to collect equipment while he searched the archives and underground lab.
