• Kazu appeared before the group and began charging a new move with Conqueror's Haki and spatial power as black-and-red lightning surrounded him.

Kazu unleashed a massive spatial attack coated in Conqueror’s Haki at the warships, forcing the Navy, the Five Elders, and the Holy Knights to combine their strength against it. As the two sides reached a stalemate, Whitebeard joined the battle to defend his son.

• Kazu compressed spatial power and Conqueror’s Haki into a beam that carved a vast trench through the sea toward the ten warships.

• Garp imagined the Revolutionary Army and Marines working together under a new government, then laughed as the Admirals watched in confusion.

• Aokiji asked Garp what had made him laugh, but Garp refused to explain.
• Akainu, Kizaru, and the other Marines stayed out of the fight after recognizing that the Five Elders had been willing to sacrifice them and that Kazu’s spatial powers left little hope of escape.
• Aokiji replenished the ice while Kazu lounged nearby, smoking and drinking wine as he shouted crude instructions to his crew attacking the Five Elders and Saint Garling.
• Imu sensed the Holy Knights’ deaths and the survivors’ injuries, but Kazu’s Emperor’s Haki had severed his contracts and left him unable to possess anyone or teleport.

• Behrens filled Saint Mars with thousands of lightning spears and detonated them with Thunder Explosion.

Behrens and two other crew members awakened Conqueror’s Haki after fighting the Five Elders, while Law, Drew, and Pedro defeated Saint Warcury without showing the same breakthrough. Kazu concluded that spiritual pressure could trigger the awakening only in those who already had the aptitude, and he remained unsure whether Law possessed it.

• Marco attacked Saint Garling with blue flames, and Garling burned to death after declaring that the Celestial Dragons had a secret weapon and warning of Lord Imu.
• Garp told Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu that he would handle negotiations, then went to speak with Kazu.

• Garp said the Revolutionary Army was growing stronger and that the World Government’s losses offered hope for a new era.
• Kazu told Garp and Whitebeard that he supported the Revolutionary Army and that the Blond Hair Pirates would back its effort to defeat the World Government.

• After the crews drank through the night, Kazu said goodbye to Whitebeard and announced that they would visit Swallow Island before heading to the East Blue.
• Whitebeard hid his reluctance at Kazu’s departure, then kept the celebration going aboard the Moby Dick with Marco and the others.
• Several days later, Garp and the three Admirals arrived at Marine Headquarters and went straight to Sengoku’s office.
• Sengoku reviewed the report of the battle and worried over the Marine casualties and the deaths of the Holy Knights, the Five Elders, and Cipher Pol’s elite forces; Tsuru concluded that numbers could not overcome an enemy like Her Kazi.

Garp told Sengoku that Her Kazi had overwhelmed the Navy and that the World Government had lost its strongest forces. He urged the Navy to consider supporting Dragon’s Revolutionary Army, leaving Sengoku to weigh the proposal.

• Garp reported that Her Kazi’s ranged attack and powerful Conqueror’s Haki had incapacitated or killed nearly everyone in the expedition.
