Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Xin offered Robin protection and a place managing his intelligence and sea routes, but she refused and he left, certain she would change her mind. He then confronted Vivi and Igaram at Whisky Peak, offered to defeat Crocodile and end Arabasta’s drought in exchange for payment, and demonstrated his power with Black Blade Yoru.

• Uchiha Xin casually slapped the attack apart, and Crocodile watched his sand blade crumble into harmless sand.

Crocodile escalated his attacks against Uchiha Xin and Vivi, first trapping them in quicksand and then unleashing a massive Sables. Uchiha Xin effortlessly repelled the quicksand and stopped the tornado with a word, leaving Crocodile stunned.

• Crocodile summoned a giant Sables tornado and sent it toward the plaza, threatening the surrounding blocks and civilians.
• Uchiha Xin ordered the Sables to disperse, causing the tornado to break apart and severing Crocodile's control over it.

Uchiha Xin demonstrated control over sand that surpassed Crocodile’s and trapped him in a crushing sand prison. Crocodile began transforming fully into sand, confident that Uchiha Xin could not touch his true body without Armament Haki.

• Uchiha Xin gathered the plaza’s sand into a giant Hand of Shukaku, which Crocodile could not control.

• Crocodile transformed his body into sand and declared that Uchiha Xin could not reach his true body without Armament Haki.

Uchiha Xin trapped Crocodile in a cage that sealed his Devil Fruit powers, leaving him unable to escape. Crocodile tried to bargain with threats and offers of Arabasta, but Uchiha Xin rejected them and reaffirmed his deal with Vivi.

• Crocodile burst into sand to escape the Sand Binding Prison, but Uchiha Xin formed a Truth-Seeking Orb cage around him.

• Uchiha Xin told Vivi he had no interest in ruling Arabasta and would not hand her over after making a deal with her.

Uchiha Xin killed Crocodile, ended Arabasta’s drought, and stopped the fighting, then told Cobra that Vivi had promised herself as payment. Cobra offered the kingdom’s wealth and his own conditions to cancel the deal, leaving Vivi’s fate unresolved.

• Uchiha Xin told Crocodile that he had killed Chaton and Momonga and destroyed the Marine fleet sent after him.

• Cobra offered the royal family’s wealth and three conditions in exchange for canceling the deal, while Chaka and Pell supported his plea.

Vivi affirmed that leaving with Uchiha Xin was her own choice, and Cobra accepted their deal. When Cobra revealed the Nefertari Family’s connection to Pluton, Uchiha Xin denied wanting the weapon and demonstrated his immense power around the palace.

• Vivi returned to the hall and told Cobra she did not regret agreeing to leave with Uchiha Xin.
• Vivi said she trusted Uchiha Xin because he had defeated Baroque Works, killed Crocodile, and helped restore peace to Arabasta.

• Cobra asked whether Uchiha Xin wanted Pluton, but Uchiha Xin said it was useless to him.
• Uchiha Xin’s power made Cobra unable to move as the rain stopped and hundreds of millions of raindrops curved around the palace.

• Uchiha Xin told Cobra that Crocodile had needed Pluton because he was weak, then said he would come for Vivi the next day and teleported to Whisky Peak.

• Uchiha Xin recounted Robin's past and recognized that she had used her former organizations' intelligence networks to search for the Poneglyphs.

Uchiha Xin reassured Robin that she would be protected and explained the Poneglyphs and how the four Road Poneglyphs could lead to Laugh Tale. After learning that Big Mom and Kaido held two of them, Robin worried about provoking the Four Emperors, but Uchiha Xin told her to gather intelligence while he dealt with anyone who stood in his way.

• Uchiha Xin told Robin that the Marines and World Government could not treat her as prey, and Robin cautiously accepted his protection.
• Uchiha Xin explained that there were thirty Poneglyphs, including four Road Poneglyphs whose locations could be connected to find Laugh Tale.
• Uchiha Xin told Robin that one Road Poneglyph was on Zou, one had gone missing from Fish-Man Island, and Big Mom and Kaido each held one.
• Robin worried that taking the Poneglyphs would mean war with two of the Four Emperors, but Uchiha Xin dismissed the danger and told her to gather intelligence while he handled their enemies.

Robin asked what Uchiha Xin expected in return for protecting and helping her, and he told her she had to become his woman; after a night together, he showed her two Poneglyphs from Arabasta. Uchiha Xin absorbed the laws within them and completed the Eye of God’s fourth-stage evolution, then considered which Poneglyphs he would need to obtain to reach the fifth stage.

• Robin questioned why Uchiha Xin wanted her and what he expected in return for his protection and help.
• Uchiha Xin told Robin she had to become his woman, and they vanished from the room together.
• The next day, Robin examined two Poneglyphs Uchiha Xin said he had found in Arabasta.
• Uchiha Xin absorbed the laws within both slabs without damaging them, triggering the Eye of God’s fourth-stage evolution.
• The system told Uchiha Xin that he needed to absorb at least five more Poneglyphs to reach the fifth stage.
• Uchiha Xin considered the locations of several Poneglyphs and judged that obtaining Big Mom’s would be only a minor obstacle.

Uchiha Xin absorbed a third Poneglyph in Arabasta, leaving a convincing replica behind, then encountered Luffy and the remaining Straw Hat Pirates at the coast. He declared that he had come to defeat them and stopped Zoro and Sanji’s simultaneous attacks with his bare hands.

• Robin revealed that she had seen a third Poneglyph buried in underground ruins in Arabasta, and Uchiha Xin used her directions to find it.
• Uchiha Xin absorbed the Poneglyph’s laws, created an identical-looking stone replica, and stored the original in his space.

• Uchiha Xin said he had come to defeat the Straw Hat Pirates, and he caught Zoro’s swords and blocked Sanji’s kick with his hands.

Uchiha Xin defeated Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy, then acquired and fused all three types of Haki into a new skill. He awakened King's Haki, which could turn his aura into a physical force, and left a colossal purple-gold palm hanging over the harbor.

• Uchiha Xin knocked Zoro and Sanji unconscious, then repelled Luffy's attacks and defeated him with Shinra Tensei.
• The system granted Uchiha Xin low-level Conqueror's Haki after he defeated Monkey D. Luffy, and he immediately mastered it.

• The system awakened Uchiha Xin's King's Haki, which could directly attack bodies and souls by materializing his aura.
• Uchiha Xin formed a giant purple-gold palm above the harbor, whose pressure cracked the ground without it even descending.

Uchiha Xin left the defeated Straw Hats behind and brought Vivi from Arabasta to the Divine Palace, where Robin revealed that one Poneglyph described Pluton. He dismissed the ancient weapon as no threat to the Divine Palace, whose own cannon could destroy an island or even bombard the moon.

• Uchiha Xin dispersed his fused Haki, told Usopp to tend to Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, and left them alive because they were not worth his effort.
• Uchiha Xin teleported to Arabasta, where Vivi said goodbye to Cobra, Chaka, and Pell before leaving with him for the Divine Palace.

Tashigi demonstrated her rapid mastery of Armament and Observation Haki, prompting Uchiha Xin to tell her she could defeat Smoker within ten moves. She asked Uchiha Xin for a way to grow stronger faster, and he prepared to grant her a Ten-Tails Chakra enhancement.

• Tashigi used Haki and swordsmanship to defeat a group of Shadow Clones in the training ground.
• Uchiha Xin praised Tashigi’s progress, and Nami, Perona, and Robin discussed how she would fare against Smoker.
• Uchiha Xin said Smoker would lose to Tashigi within ten moves, and Tashigi reflected that she still needed greater strength for her ambitions.
• Tashigi asked Uchiha Xin for power to accelerate her growth, explaining that she would accept any price.
• Uchiha Xin considered granting Tashigi Ten-Tails Chakra as an exclusive retainer, and Tashigi knelt and promised she would not regret her choice.

Uchiha Xin made Tashigi, Nami, and Vivi exclusive retainers, greatly increasing their strength with Ten-Tails Chakra. After the system teased him about turning the retainer feature into a harem feature, he announced that the Divine Palace’s next destination was Sky Island.

• Uchiha Xin infused Tashigi with Ten-Tails Chakra, sharply strengthening her body and Haki until she could cut a long fissure into the training ground from a distance.
