• Uchiha Xin carried Hiyori away as she protested and demanded that he wait until Wano Country’s enemies were dead.

• The madam grew worried when Komurasaki stayed in Uchiha Xin’s room for hours and went to inform Kyoshiro.
• Kyoshiro approached the room alone, but Xin’s spatial blade killed him through the closed door.
• The madam stopped the samurai from seeking help and fled the brothel as they reacted to Kyoshiro’s death.

• Kozuki Hiyori accepted the dependent bond and became Uchiha Xin’s ninth dependent, causing the Eye of God to reach its eleventh stage.

Kozuki Hiyori trained for months in Tsukuyomi: Illusion World and mastered her three awakened Devil Fruit powers and Haki. She emerged ready to face Kurozumi Orochi, who arrived at the brothel and asked if Uchiha Xin had hurt her.

• Uchiha Xin used Tsukuyomi: Illusion World to train Kozuki Hiyori in controlling and combining the Clear-Clear, Rumble-Rumble, and Dark-Dark Fruits.

• The black tiger killed the attacking Oniwabanshu and destroyed the corridor, leaving none of them standing.

• Uchiha Xin realized Hancock and the Thunder Emperor Corps had left Wano Country, suspected Nami had gone after treasure, and summoned over a thousand Shadow Clones.
• Uchiha Xin ordered the Shadow Clones to defeat the Beasts Pirates’ remnants, seize the weapons factories, and deal with Kurozumi Orochi’s holdouts.
• The Shadow Clones suppressed resistance across Wano Country in less than a day, freed forced laborers, and helped Kozuki Hiyori take control as news of Orochi’s death spread.

After learning that Ace’s execution was happening that day, he ordered the Thunder Emperor Corps to set out for Marineford, despite Robin’s warning about the Marines’ trap.

• Uchiha Xin fused the Gold-Gold Fruit and Luck-Luck Fruit into Nami, who demonstrated control over gold and the ability to drain others’ luck.

• Uchiha Xin ordered everyone to prepare to depart for Marineford, rejecting Robin’s warning that the assembled Marines and World Government forces had prepared a trap for the Whitebeard Pirates.
