Zesi joined the Roger Pirates, mastered Haki and swordsmanship, and helped Roger reach Laugh Tale before returning home to take charge of the Brunei Family. After defeating Cracker’s attack, he accepted Big Mom’s invitation to discuss cooperation and ordered Feiluo to accompany him to Totto Land.
Zesi defeated Big Mom and revealed the Roger Pirates had left Laugh Tale without taking anything. When the World Government tried to seize the Brunei Family’s wine business, Zesi fought off CP9 and Sakazuki, then held the prisoners and demanded compensation from the Celestial Dragons.
Zesi fought Golden Lion, declared himself the Dragon Emperor, and reunited with the Roger Pirates before breaking into Impel Down to free Bullet. He and Bullet escaped while leaving the other prisoners behind, and Navy reinforcements were sent to stop them.
Zesi escaped Impel Down, formed the Azure Emperor Pirates, and challenged the Marines and New World pirates who sought to test his new title. In Wano Country, he killed Orochi, defeated Kaido, and began building ties with Kozuki Oden while exposing Kanjuro’s identity.
Zesi built the Azure Emperor Pirates into a disciplined force, defeated Silver Axe, and established Pirate Hachinosu as his base. After the World Government set a plan in motion to pit him against Whitebeard, the two Emperors fought on a deserted island, with their battle still raging as Whitebeard recognized Zesi’s formidable swordsmanship.
Zesi and Whitebeard exposed the Marines’ betrayal and defeated their campaign, forcing them to withdraw from the New World. As Zesi built his territory and expanded his influence, Kaido and Big Mom arrived, while news of a Marine counterattack prompted a limited pact against invasion.
After killing Admiral Purple Foal, Zesi strengthened Hachinosu through trade and began assembling Shichibukai to protect Azure Emperor shipping. He defeated Thunder Python, recruited Hancock and Doflamingo, and sent Doflamingo to find Vinsmoke Judge.
After the Marines defeated Big Mom and Kaido, Zesi recruited Kuma and returned to Hachinosu as his crew repelled an invasion. Zesi defeated Bullet’s challenge, expanded his forces and research capabilities, and faced new plans for economic pressure from the Five Elders.
Zesi opened Azure Dragon Pass, forced the World Government into negotiations, and watched the Azure Emperor Pirates grow into a major power. After Big Mom seized one of their cargo ships, Zesi sent Shanks to lead the war against her, and Shanks swiftly destroyed her branches outside Totto Land.
Zesi and the Azure Emperor Pirates defeated Big Mom’s forces, crushed the World Pirates, and fought a war with Whitebeard that ended in Whitebeard’s death and the Navy’s retreat from the New World. With Totto Land chosen as the crew’s new center, Zesi launched a missile attack on the Beasts Pirates.
Zesi turned the Azure Emperor Pirates into the Azure Empire Federation, subdued Big Mom, and rescued Tom before regaining his memories of the One Piece world as a virtual trial. In the Divine Wasteland Realm, he demonstrated his overwhelming power, killed a seventh-tier Troll Commander, and began fighting Uchiha Naisen over the commander’s crystal.
Zesi killed Uchiha Naisen, took control of Dafeng City, and recruited Zhou Qian as he prepared to gather powerful allies. After reaching the seventh tier and driving off the eighth-tier Troll King, Zesi faced Third Raikage A, who challenged him and was overwhelmed.
Zesi formed the Azure Emperor Pirates, defeated the Troll King, and crushed the Blood Fortress and Holy Church after assassins targeted District Z. Back in Tianshui City, he prepared for further cultivation, reunited with Yang Kexin, and entered Leize Martial Soul Academy’s team tryouts.
