Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Xin mocked Shiki's declining strength, then destroyed a falling island with one slash to protect Enies Lobby. Shiki responded by sending more than ten islands crashing down at once, leaving Uchiha Xin and Enies Lobby beneath their shadow.

• Uchiha Xin cut through Shiki's water-lion attacks and pointed out that Shiki's speed and stamina had declined.
• Shiki used Lion's Majesty: Earthfall to send a floating island down toward Uchiha Xin and Enies Lobby.
• Uchiha Xin split the island apart with one slash of dark lightning, while CP9 watched from Enies Lobby.
• Shiki became furious over the destruction of his island and sent more than ten floating islands toward Enies Lobby.
• Spandam panicked, and CP9 realized they could not stop the falling islands as they covered the sky.

Uchiha Xin used Kamui: Void Slash to destroy Shiki’s floating islands and sever his control over them. With his strength failing and his power countered, Shiki fled, leaving Uchiha Xin disappointed.

• Shiki sent dozens of floating islands crashing toward Enies Lobby, while Spandam begged Lucci to save him and Lucci said it was too late to escape.
• Uchiha Xin released Black Blade Yoru and used Kamui: Void Slash to split space, reducing the islands and their contents to stone dust.
• The spatial rifts severed Shiki’s connection to the islands, leaving him unable to control them despite his Devil Fruit power still working.
• Shiki realized his stamina and Haki were depleted and fled, as CP9 watched him retreat.
• Uchiha Xin watched Shiki escape and said, “You’ve really disappointed me.”

Uchiha Xin killed Shiki the Golden Lion, gained his swordsmanship and Haki, and merged Shiki’s Float-Float Fruit into the Mark-Mark Fruit, awakening its ability. He arrived above Enies Lobby as Shiki’s corpse fell into the sea, leaving CP9 and Spandam terrified while he reached toward the body.

• Uchiha Xin used Tensei: Rinne to trap and shatter Shiki’s soul, causing Shiki to fall from the sky.
• The system awarded Uchiha Xin the Float-Float Fruit, great swordsman-level swordsmanship, and advanced Haki, then argued with him about its rewards.
• Uchiha Xin converted the Float-Float Fruit into nourishment for laws and merged it with the Mark-Mark Fruit, awakening its power to attack any target within his Observation Haki’s range.
• Uchiha Xin appeared above Enies Lobby as Shiki’s corpse crashed into the sea, and Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, Kalifa, Fukurou, Spandam, and the other CP9 members watched in fear.
• Uchiha Xin raised his hand toward Shiki’s corpse before it sank into the sea.

Uchiha Xin extracted and sealed the Float-Float Fruit’s power from Shiki’s corpse, then told CP9 to demand that Sengoku change his unwanted bounty title. When Lucci attacked, Uchiha Xin repelled him through several buildings and left him buried in rubble.

• Uchiha Xin used the Power of the Limit to stop World Law from reclaiming the Float-Float Fruit’s essence and sealed it inside an azure orb.
• Uchiha Xin descended to Enies Lobby, where the Marines and CP9 were too afraid to attack him, and he warned them that the falling islands posed a danger.
• Uchiha Xin ordered the survivors to tell Sengoku to remove “The Bloody One” from his wanted poster, threatening to go to Marineford himself if the Marines refused.
• Lucci transformed and attacked Uchiha Xin with Six King Gun, but Uchiha Xin’s Shinra Tensei crushed the shock wave and sent Lucci crashing into the Tower of Justice.

Uchiha Xin defeated CP9 at Enies Lobby, then vanished with Kalifa when Spandam threatened him with a Buster Call. After Spandam claimed he had driven Xin away, dozens of islands fell and destroyed Enies Lobby, and Xin told Kalifa he would not have stopped them.

• Kaku, Jabra, Fukurou, Kumadori, Blueno, and Kalifa attacked Uchiha Xin, but he incapacitated all of CP9 and captured Kalifa.
• Spandam threatened to activate a Buster Call with a Golden Den Den Mushi, so Uchiha Xin used Divine Transference to leave Enies Lobby with Kalifa.
• Spandam laughed and claimed he had driven Uchiha Xin away, then looked up as dozens of islands descended on Enies Lobby.
• The falling islands smashed Enies Lobby beneath the sea, killing Spandam and destroying the island.
• Kalifa accused Uchiha Xin of allowing the destruction, and he said Enies Lobby’s destruction was cause and effect after Shiki’s Float-Float Fruit power ended.

Uchiha Xin left Enies Lobby to be destroyed by the islands and tsunami, then transported Kalifa to the Divine Palace on Sky Island. In the ruins, Kumadori rescued the barely living Lucci, while the rest of CP9 and the Marines remained missing.

• Kalifa questioned Uchiha Xin for not saving Enies Lobby's ten thousand people, and he said the World Government and CP9 had made no claim on his help.
• Falling islands triggered a massive tsunami that destroyed the Gates of Justice and sank the World Government ships, while Enies Lobby was reduced to ruins.
• Uchiha Xin told Kalifa he did not know whether Lucci and the others had survived, then transported her to the Divine Palace on Sky Island.
• Kumadori emerged from the wreckage on driftwood with Lucci wrapped in his hair, having used Life Return to survive the falling islands.
• Kumadori searched the ruins, found no other survivors, and kept Lucci alive until he finally opened his eyes.

Lucci reported Enies Lobby's destruction, Shiki's death, and Kalifa's abduction by Uchiha Xin, prompting the World Government to leave the matter to Sengoku. At Marineford, Sengoku confronted Garp after learning that Ace was Gol D. Roger's son, while Garp defended Ace as an innocent child.

• Lucci learned from Kumadori that Enies Lobby had been destroyed, the other CP9 members were missing, and Uchiha Xin had taken Kalifa.
• Lucci used a damaged transponder snail to report Shiki's death, Uchiha Xin's victory and acquisition of the Float-Float Fruit, CP9's defeat, Kalifa's abduction, and Enies Lobby's destruction.
• The Five Elders reviewed the report and decided to leave Uchiha Xin's case to Sengoku and the Marines.
• Sengoku received the Enies Lobby report and confirmation that Ace was Roger's biological son, based on corroborating intelligence.
• Sengoku angrily accused Garp of hiding Ace's identity and entrusting him to Dadan, while Garp insisted that Ace was innocent and had nothing to do with Roger.

Sengoku convened a supreme war council after Enies Lobby was destroyed and Uchiha Xin killed the Golden Lion. The Marines reviewed the battle report and concluded that Xin’s strength far exceeded their previous estimates.

• Sengoku summoned the admirals and Vice Admiral Tsuru to discuss the urgent crises, including Ace’s planned execution and Enies Lobby’s destruction.
• Sengoku received the Five Elders’ report confirming that Enies Lobby had been destroyed, CP9 had been nearly wiped out, and Shiki the Golden Lion had died in battle with Uchiha Xin.
• Sengoku berated Kizaru for speaking casually about the disaster, and Kizaru straightened up and acknowledged the reprimand.
• Tsuru and Garp read the battle report, and Garp said Shiki had remained a formidable opponent despite his age and injuries.
• Aokiji and Tsuru noted that Xin had killed Shiki without apparent injury or exhaustion, and the council recognized that his strength exceeded their previous assessment.

Sengoku rejected Akainu and Garp’s attempts to prioritize Uchiha Xin over Ace’s execution, then approved Tsuru’s plan to make Xin a target of the entire sea. The Marines announced Xin’s three-billion-Belly bounty and new epithet, Thunder Emperor, leaving him framed as an Emperor apart from the Four Emperors.

• Akainu demanded permission to capture Uchiha Xin, but Sengoku ordered him to stay and focus on Ace’s execution and the coming war with Whitebeard.
• Garp argued that Xin posed a greater threat than Ace, but Sengoku recognized his effort to save Ace and insisted the execution would proceed.
• Aokiji asked how the Marines would handle Xin, and Tsuru proposed publicizing his crimes and raising his bounty to draw the Four Emperors and other pirates after him.
• Sengoku approved a three-billion-Belly bounty and replaced Xin’s epithet, The Bloody One, with Thunder Emperor.
• The Marines distributed Xin’s new bounty poster worldwide and introduced him as a separate Emperor outside the Four Emperors.

Uchiha Xin’s three-billion-Belly bounty and the Marines’ “Thunder Emperor” title spread across the seas after they revealed he had killed Shiki and destroyed Enies Lobby. The Four Emperors reacted to his rise, while Kaido dismissed the Marines’ attempt to rank Xin above them and ordered his search for Zunesha to continue.

• The Marines published Uchiha Xin’s record, including Shiki’s death and Enies Lobby’s destruction, silencing doubts about his bounty and title.
• Whitebeard recognized Xin’s strength and ordered an investigation, but said Xin would have to challenge him to stand above him.
• Kaido called Xin a worthy opponent and initially ordered his men to find him.
• Charlotte Linlin ordered her people to approach Xin with an offer to marry one of her daughters and join Totto Land.
• Shanks and Beckman suspected the Marines wanted to provoke conflict, but decided to find Xin and meet him.
• After Jack confirmed Shiki’s death, Kaido refused to play into the Marines’ scheme and ordered the search for Zunesha to continue for what the Kozuki Clan had left on its back.

Kaido focused on finding Zunesha and expanding his army of ability users, while Charlotte Linlin decided to pursue Uchiha Xin as a son-in-law. On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard explained that the Navy had promoted Xin’s title and bounty to make the New World’s pirates target him, and said Xin’s place among the strongest would be settled by a real fight.

• Kaido ordered Jack to accelerate the search for Zunesha and the production of Artificial Devil Fruits.
• Charlotte Linlin decided to arrange a marriage between Uchiha Xin and one of her daughters, and told Perospero to find him.
• Marco and Jozu objected to the Navy’s claim that Xin stood above the Four Emperors, while Whitebeard dismissed their concern over the newspaper’s title.
• Whitebeard explained that Sengoku had publicized Xin’s feats and raised his bounty to lure Kaido, Linlin, and other pirates into pursuing him.
• Whitebeard said Xin’s strength could not be ranked by the Navy and that a fight would reveal whether he surpassed the Four Emperors.

Whitebeard ordered his crew to keep searching for Ace, while Shanks redirected the Red Hair Pirates toward the first half of the sea to find Uchiha Xin and judge his strength for himself. Uchiha Xin returned to the Divine Palace on Sky Island, where Perona waited outside after deciding not to interrupt him and Kalifa.

• Whitebeard grew more uneasy about Ace’s disappearance and ordered Marco and Jozu to mobilize allied pirate crews to search for him.
• Shanks and Beckman concluded that the Marines were using Uchiha Xin’s new title to provoke the sea, but that his feats were genuine.
• Shanks ordered the Red Force to sail for the first half of the sea so he could meet Uchiha Xin, using Hawk Eyes to help locate him.
• Uchiha Xin returned to the Divine Palace and spent the night with Kalifa, using the Power of the Limit to protect her and help her recover.
• Perona came to see Uchiha Xin but heard Kalifa inside the closed room, so she left with Kumashi and returned the next morning.

Uchiha Xin received a new three-billion-Belly bounty and learned that the Navy had named him the sole Emperor alongside the Four Emperors. The chapter ended with him dismissing the bounty as barely up to standard.

• Uchiha Xin left Kalifa's room, and Perona saw that Kalifa was exhausted after their night together.
• Uchiha Xin told Perona that Kalifa's treatment would change once she submitted, and Perona followed him outside.
• Uchiha Xin watched Tashigi train the enhanced Sky Island soldiers and asked Perona why she had come to see him.
• Perona gave Uchiha Xin his latest wanted poster, showing a three-billion-Belly bounty and the title Thunder Emperor.
• Perona explained that the Navy had publicized Uchiha Xin's victories and called him the sole Emperor alongside the Four Emperors.
• Uchiha Xin called his new bounty barely up to standard, leaving Perona stunned.

Uchiha Xin dismissed his three-billion bounty as merely adequate and discussed the slow preparations to relocate Fish-Man Island to Sky Island. He agreed to send soldiers to rescue captured fish-men, but Perona pointed out that Sky Island had no route down to the Blue Sea for them to use.

• Perona questioned Uchiha Xin's reaction to his three-billion bounty, and he said the amount was still too low for his strength and called his new title, Thunder Emperor, barely usable.
• Uchiha Xin asked Perona about relocating Fish-Man Island, and she explained that Neptune's preparations were slowed by the island's millions of residents, their concerns, and the work of sorting supplies and buildings.
• Uchiha Xin told Perona to have Neptune keep preparing and said he would handle the relocation when the time came.
• Perona relayed Neptune's request for help rescuing fish-men and merfolk captured by pirates and slave traders, and Uchiha Xin agreed to assign Tashigi's trained Sky Island soldiers.
• Uchiha Xin said hundreds of soldiers had vice-admiral-level physiques and could learn the Six Powers and Haki, but Perona pointed out that they had no way to descend from Sky Island to the Blue Sea.

Perona confronted Uchiha Xin about the lack of a way for the Sky Island Legion and Fish-Man Island’s residents to reach the Blue Sea, and he admitted he had overlooked the problem. He called Robin, Nami, Tashigi, Vivi, and Perona to discuss a solution, then began examining an azure orb of light.

• Perona told Uchiha Xin that intelligence gathering and military operations were impossible without a reliable route between Sky Island and the Blue Sea.
• Uchiha Xin acknowledged that Divine Transference had made him overlook the Legion’s travel needs and the coming relocation of millions from Fish-Man Island.
• Uchiha Xin said he would gather Robin, Nami, Tashigi, Vivi, and Perona to discuss the travel problem.
• Perona reluctantly agreed to fetch the others after warning Uchiha Xin not to trick them again.
• Uchiha Xin stayed on the platform and raised an azure orb of light, causing nearby rubble to float.

Uchiha Xin revealed the Float-Float Fruit essence as a solution to Sky Island's transportation problem. After the others raised the danger of combining it with existing Devil Fruit powers, Shyarly asked whether he had resolved the conflict, and Uchiha Xin confirmed it.

• Uchiha Xin summoned Robin, Nami, Tashigi, Vivi, Perona, Shyarly, and Shirahoshi to discuss Sky Island's mobility problem.
• Tashigi and Nami explained why Moonwalk, rebuilding a route, and the Knock Up Stream could not reliably transport the legion to the Blue Sea.
• Uchiha Xin revealed the Float-Float Fruit essence extracted from Shiki the Golden Lion and explained that it could merge directly with someone's body.
• Nami, Robin, and Perona worried that existing Devil Fruit users might die if they took a second power, while Vivi and Shirahoshi listened.
• Shyarly asked whether Uchiha Xin had resolved the conflict between two fruit powers, and he confirmed that he had.

Uchiha Xin demonstrated a modified Float-Float Fruit essence that could be used alongside other Devil Fruit abilities and had no seawater or Seastone weakness. He showed that it could make living people fly, while explaining that those empowered would still need to remain within the user's range.

• Uchiha Xin explained that the modified Float-Float Fruit would not conflict with existing Devil Fruit abilities and could function in seawater and around Seastone.
• Uchiha Xin revealed that the modified fruit could make living people fly, then demonstrated it by lifting Perona, who flew around the meeting room with Kumashi.
• Uchiha Xin made Nami, Vivi, and Tashigi fly, and Tashigi tested how quickly she could maneuver without using Moonwalk or stamina.
• Perona and Tashigi observed that the power could let people travel without ships, including the Sky Island legion flying to the Blue Sea.
• Uchiha Xin gave Shirahoshi the ability to fly and explained that empowered people would remain aloft even if unconscious, but would stop flying if they moved beyond the user's range.
• Uchiha Xin said the fruit's basic abilities were already fully developed, so a user could immediately control objects, grant levitation, and remotely control them.

Uchiha Xin explained that he had modified the Float-Float Fruit to remove its seawater and Seastone weaknesses and let it grant flight to others, though it could no longer develop or awaken. After the group agreed to keep his ability secret, Shirahoshi declined the fruit, and Nami and Tashigi also ruled themselves out.

• Uchiha Xin explained that the modified Float-Float Fruit offered its full basic power immediately but had lost the potential to develop or awaken.
• Robin, Nami, and Tashigi recognized the fruit's value and agreed to conceal Uchiha Xin's ability to modify Devil Fruits from the outside world.
• Uchiha Xin offered the fruit to Shirahoshi, but she declined because she could already float and wanted someone else to have it.
• Perona teased Uchiha Xin over his reaction to Shirahoshi's praise, and he told the others to choose among themselves.
• Nami declined the fruit because she already had the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and Tashigi declined because swordsmanship remained her focus.

After the others declined the Float-Float Fruit, Robin chose to fuse with it, using her awakened Flower-Flower Fruit to bypass its distance limit and give the Sky Island Legion flight anywhere in the world. Uchiha Xin helped her test the new ability and created a permanent life-link mark for Perona, leaving Robin able to grant flight without maintaining petals.

• Perona and the others declined the Float-Float Fruit, and Robin volunteered to take it.
• Robin explained that her awakened Flower-Flower Fruit could maintain a connection across a hundred thousand kilometers, allowing her to extend the Float-Float Fruit's power to the legion remotely.
• The group agreed Robin was the best choice, and Uchiha Xin fused the Float-Float Fruit's essence with her life essence without causing a conflict.
• Robin restored the conference room's floating objects and gave Perona flight; Perona flew outside the Divine Palace and returned with the ability still active.
• Uchiha Xin used Robin's hair to create a permanent petal-shaped life-link mark on Perona, which would keep the Float-Float Fruit connected without Robin continuously supplying power.

Uchiha Xin and Robin gave several women permanent links to Robin’s Float-Float Fruit, allowing them to fly independently. With travel between Sky Island and the Blue Sea now possible, Tashigi proposed leading warriors to Fish-Man Island to investigate slave-trading routes and rescue captives, and Uchiha Xin assigned Robin to join her.

• Uchiha Xin used the Power of the Limit to fix patterns linking Nami, Tashigi, Vivi, Shyarly, Shirahoshi, Perona, and Robin to Robin’s Float-Float Fruit, letting them fly without her active control.
• Nami, Vivi, and Shirahoshi flew around the Divine Palace square while Sky Island warriors watched, and Tashigi told the warriors they could earn the ability by passing their assessment.
• Perona flew down from Sky Island toward the Blue Sea to test the pattern’s range and gather information, leaving Kumashi behind.
• Tashigi asked Uchiha Xin to let her take one hundred enhanced Sky Island warriors to Fish-Man Island to gather records of missing people and pursue slave traders.
• Uchiha Xin agreed to send Robin with Tashigi to help organize intelligence and investigate the slave-trading routes.
