Chapter Summaries

Aokiji purged the neurotoxin from Zoro and used the frozen battlefield to launch a surprise attack on Shura. As Aokiji pressed the fight, Zoro gathered his Sword Qi and Haki for a powerful strike.

• Aokiji drew the poisoned blood from Zoro’s arm, healed the wound, and warned him that Shura’s neurotoxin caused hallucinations.
• Aokiji traveled through the battlefield’s ice and struck Shura by surprise, then broke his arm with a second punch.
• Shura accused Aokiji of using a sneak attack and tried to counter with poison needles, but Aokiji’s ice armor blocked them.
• Zoro remained out of the fight and gathered his Sword Qi and Haki as a death-god phantom appeared behind him.

Aokiji and Zoro defeated Shura, with Zoro’s sword strike splitting the enormous iceberg that Aokiji had used to trap him. The battle continued elsewhere, where Barnett struggled against an enemy whose attacks seemed to lock onto him and could not be dodged.

• Aokiji seized on Shura’s panic, froze him inside a towering iceberg, and trapped himself alongside him.
• Zoro cut through the iceberg with King of Hell Three-Sword Style: Purgatory Oni Giri, killing Shura and narrowly avoiding Aokiji.
• Aokiji emerged from the split iceberg and cursed Zoro for striking through both of them.
• As allies supported the remaining battlefields, Barnett continued fighting despite a deep wound across his chest.
• Barnett concluded that his opponent had a powerful target-locking Devil Fruit ability that made every attack hit its mark.

Barnett fought Luck, whose Lock-Lock Fruit attacks could track their targets, while Barnett used the Replenish-Replenish Fruit to reverse time and heal his injuries. Barnett exploited Luck’s belief that he had an immortal body and charged back into the fight, ending with a powerful sword strike aimed at Luck’s head.

• Luck repeatedly wounded Barnett, but Barnett’s Time Reversal restored his body and clothes, making him seem immortal.
• Barnett recognized that Luck’s tracking ability made the fight difficult and reasoned that Luck could still be killed.
• Barnett and Luck clashed swords, and Luck mocked Barnett for wielding a famous sword without spreading its name.
• Barnett told Luck that a sword was merely a weapon, enraging Luck into unleashing a barrage of tracking slashes.
• Barnett blocked most of the slashes but took several wounds, then reversed time to restore himself and rushed at Luck with both swords aimed at his head.

Barnett defeated Luck by pretending to struggle and drawing out his opponent’s Haki until it was nearly gone. After cutting Luck in two, Barnett revealed that he had planned the battle around his ability to restore his Haki to full strength.

• Luck dominated the sword fight and taunted Barnett, believing his superior devotion to swordsmanship would win the battle.
• Luck used Observation Haki to parry Barnett’s increasingly frantic attacks as both fighters’ Haki reserves dwindled.
• Barnett launched Dazzling Eyes: Cycle of Life and Death, making Luck believe he was attempting a desperate final attack.
• Luck tried to block Barnett’s strike, but his exhausted Haki failed him, and Barnett cut him in two.
• Barnett explained that he had acted like an inferior swordsman to drain Luck’s Haki before restoring his own strength with Time Reversal.

Ace fought Saint Jiringomu, whose dream-based power summoned creatures and people to battle for him. After Ace destroyed Jiringomu’s attackers, Jiringomu summoned Gol D. Roger from an old man’s dream, and Ace attacked the phantom without hesitation.

• Barnett killed Luck with his concealed Cycle of Life and Death technique and vanished into the smoke.

• Jiringomu found Roger in an old man’s dream and summoned the Pirate King, while Garp remained unreachable behind an invisible barrier.
• Ace recognized Roger as his father, then struck at his head with a white-flamed, lightning-wreathed fist.

Ace defeated Jiringomu by trapping him in white flames after overcoming his hesitation to fight a puppet resembling Whitebeard. On another battlefield, Rebecca continued struggling to land a blow on an elderly female Holy Knight.

• Ace struck the summoned Roger puppet while using his Logia transformation to avoid the blade, then faced a Whitebeard puppet summoned by Jiringomu.
• Ace hesitated to attack the Whitebeard puppet because it reminded him of his adoptive father, but he defended himself as Jiringomu joined the fight.
• Ace used Conqueror Flame Emperor to engulf Jiringomu in white flames, killing him and causing the Whitebeard puppet to vanish.
• Ace bid farewell to the image of Pops as the flames condensed and disappeared.
• Rebecca angrily challenged her elderly female opponent for dodging her flying swords, and the woman mocked her fighting ability.

Rebecca fought Mura, whose Read-Read Ability let her read Rebecca’s thoughts and dodge her flying swords while her immortal body healed her wounds. After the sword attacks failed, Rebecca switched to close combat, and the chapter ended with their blades clashing.

• Rebecca and Mura exchanged over a hundred sword strikes, with Mura parrying Rebecca’s attacks.

• The Haki-infused swords destroyed Mura despite her undying body, scattering her as blood mist.

Rebecca killed Mura with her flying swords, then struggled with embarrassing memories of Vic. Elsewhere, Loki continued overpowering Shamrock with Iron Thunder, his giant squirrel companion transformed into a hammer.

• Rebecca's erotic memories disrupted her concentration as Mura's flying swords filled the sky, but she directed them around herself and toward Mura.
• Rebecca reduced Mura to ashes and blamed Vic for her lingering desire for him.
• Loki struck at Shamrock with Iron Thunder, while the narrator explained that Shamrock's Assimilation Fruit and Loki's strength made them formidable opponents.
• The chapter revealed that Iron Thunder was a squirrel who ate the Hammer-Hammer Fruit and had guarded Elbaf's National Treasure for decades before becoming Loki's weapon.
• Shamrock recognized that he could not match Loki, even after summoning helpers, and saw that few of his forces remained.

Loki defeated and killed Shamrock in a devastating clash, ending the battle between them. With Shamrock dead, the Holy Knights were nearly wiped out, while other fights across the island continued with no clear overall outcome.

• Loki smashed Shamrock into a mountainside and taunted him by comparing him unfavorably to Shanks.

• Shamrock's death marked the destruction of the Holy Knights, apart from Gunko and several trainee God's Knights, as battles elsewhere continued.

Kuina fought Gunko in a deadly duel, testing the Holy Knight’s Arrow-Arrow Fruit abilities while conserving her Conqueror’s Haki. After Gunko briefly diverted Wado Ichimonji with a curved arrow, Kuina unleashed her Haki and struck back, sending Gunko flying without landing a decisive wound.

• Kuina engaged Gunko in close combat, matching her swordsmanship against the Holy Knight’s versatile Arrow-Arrow Fruit powers.
• Gunko used an arrow to shift sideways and narrowly evade Kuina’s lunging strike, but Kuina pursued her immediately.

• Kuina released Conqueror’s Haki, regained control of her sword, and slashed at Gunko’s neck.
• Gunko was sent flying by Kuina’s counterattack, but Kuina did not cut off her head or draw blood.

Kuina fought Gunko and sensed that something was wrong with her memories and mind. After Gunko’s strength and fighting style shifted under what Kuina suspected was Imu’s control, Kuina failed to reach her and prepared to fight in earnest.

• Kuina blocked Gunko’s attack with her arrow bandages and asked whether she had been forced to become a killer.
• Gunko said killing had become enjoyable after she joined the God's Knights, then struggled to recall her past as Kuina questioned her.
• Gunko collapsed as fragmented memories surfaced, but a commanding voice and a pair of emotionless eyes suppressed them.

• Vic shouted at someone in the distance, and Gunko’s fighting ability returned to its previous level while she continued attacking.
• Kuina suspected Imu was controlling Gunko and, unable to awaken her, resolved to eliminate her before her own stamina and Haki ran out.

Kuina defeated Gunko but spared her after Brook urgently begged her to, then helped him uncover Gunko’s face. Elsewhere, Shanks faced his father, Saint Garling, who tried to persuade him to abandon his rebellion while invoking Imu’s power.

• Kuina overwhelmed Gunko and struck her with a killing blow, but Brook cried out for her to spare her.
• Kuina confirmed Gunko was still alive, and Brook restrained the unconscious woman with Seastone Handcuffs.
• Kuina removed Gunko’s face coverings, and Brook said she resembled a girl he had known as a child.
• Shanks confronted Saint Garling after defeating his allies, and Garling urged him to join the Celestial Dragons again by claiming Imu could still protect them.

Shanks fought Garling over Garling's murder of Shanks's mother and rejected his attempt to use their father-son bond to escape. After Shanks sent Garling flying with Conqueror's Haki, he remained in place as blood-red lightning gathered around Gryphon, leaving Garling overwhelmed by its aura.

• Shanks wounded Garling with Gryphon and exposed the gap in their strength and speed.
• Garling pleaded with Shanks by claiming he had tried to raise and reunite with him, but Shanks said Roger and the Roger Pirates had protected him and vowed to avenge his mother.
• Garling declared that Shanks would die, healed his chest wound, and attacked with a scorpion-venom-coated rapier.
• Shanks dodged Garling's thrust and follow-up strike, then blasted him away with Conqueror's Haki.
• Garling recovered and realized Shanks was gathering blood-red lightning around Gryphon, which made Garling's movements sluggish and his breathing difficult.

• Mars attacked Luffy with a pillar of flame, but Luffy caught it and swung it into Mars, sending him crashing through floating boulders.
• Luffy used the pillar of flame to bat four recovered Primordial Demons into a mountain, which collapsed and buried them.
• Mars tried to distract Luffy by asking why he opposed the World Government, and Luffy said he wanted freedom and justice for Robin.
• The Primordial Demons emerged from the rubble fully healed, and Luffy hurled the pillar of flame through one demon’s chest, causing it to explode inside him and set him ablaze.

Luffy defeated Saint Mars and the Primordial Demons in the valley, then turned his attention to Vic’s battle with Imu. As Vic and Imu clashed, Imu summoned dozens of pentagram formations across the battlefield.

• Luffy killed the Primordial Demons with a series of Haki-infused attacks, leaving only Saint Mars in the valley.
• Luffy struck Saint Mars from the sky with Gum-Gum Bajrang Gun, killing him and ending his Nika Form.
• Luffy saw that Garp, Dragon, Ace, Sabo, and others had finished their fights, then watched Vic battle Imu at the center of the battlefield.

• Imu spread her arms as dozens of pentagram formations lit up across the valley, filling the air with black light and roars.

• Imu angrily attacked Vic with a powerful Conqueror’s Haki-coated thrust from her Devil Trident.

Vic fought Imu while the others defeated the World Government’s forces, leaving Imu alone. Imu then unleashed a powerful burst of Conqueror’s Haki that injured Vic and buried him beneath a mountain, but he blasted his way out.

• Vic dodged Imu’s attacks and wounded her with a Sword Gang, but her scales and healing quickly closed the gash.
