After the Goa Kingdom became the Huaxia Empire, Kazu and the Blond Hair Pirates gathered at the royal palace to celebrate Spring Festival. Law examined Hancock and Robin and confirmed that their unborn babies were healthy, leaving Kazu reassured as the festivities began.

• The Blond Hair Pirates took control of the Goa Kingdom and renamed it the Huaxia Empire, whose government quickly filled vacant posts.

• Kazu traveled to an uninhabited East Blue island and used the card on his Dragon-Dragon Fruit, evolving it into the Divine Zoan, True Spacetime Divine Dragon Model.
• Kazu felt his strength more than double and wondered what a Divine Zoan was.

After discovering that his enhanced space-time powers could open a passage to his previous world, Kazu traveled to wartime China and attacked Japanese forces to aid the Chinese armies. With his time in that world shrinking, he flew toward the island nation, where people mistook his appearance as a sign that their own people were favored by the gods.

• Kazu realized using his powers shortened his stay, so he flew toward the island nation.
• Kazu arrived over the island nation, where people saw the dragon and believed it proved their people were favored by the gods.

Kazu destroyed both halves of the island nation with devastating attacks, then escaped back to the Pirate King's world before its rejection could keep him there. He returned to his palace and rejoined his companions, ready to continue the banquet and enjoy the life he had built.

• Kazu blasted half of the island nation into a crater, killing countless people and leaving the survivors in despair.
