After Uchiha Xin killed Red-Haired and the Red Hair Pirates, the Marines debated the Five Elders’ order to capture or kill him. Vice Admiral Tsuru argued they should prioritize Ace’s execution and Whitebeard’s defeat, using the resulting turmoil to pit Uchiha Xin against Kaido and Big Mom.

• Sengoku, Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru discussed how Uchiha Xin’s victory over Red-Haired had made him a threat beyond the Four Emperors.

• Hancock decided to incapacitate Uchiha Xin and escape, then fired Slave Arrow at him, but the arrows bounced off without affecting him.

Hancock refused the summons, while Uchiha Xin continued searching for Zou before planning to go to Marineford; Doflamingo traveled toward the war.

• Hancock told Uchiha Xin that Luffy had attacked a World Noble at Sabaody and vanished after Kuma appeared, and Uchiha Xin decided not to search for him as long as he was alive.
