Chapter Summaries

After recovering from a five-day coma, Allen learned that the homeward passage would remain stable for about a month and discussed the Beacon’s legacy and unresolved threats with the Straw Hat Pirates. They agreed to become the Beacon’s Watchers, address the remaining dangers, and return home while continuing their adventures; the soul-binding ritual was set for the next day.

• While Allen slept, Robin uncovered the truth about the Void Century, Imu, and the Ancient Weapons, as the crew recovered and prepared for their return.
• About five days later, Allen woke with renewed mental strength and a deeper understanding of the Beacon’s rules.
• The Shadow of Noah explained that the homeward passage would remain stable for thirty standard days and outlined the proposed soul-binding ritual, unresolved historical threats, W7’s choice, and the crew’s future responsibilities.
• Luffy and the crew agreed to protect what mattered while pursuing their dreams, and Allen formally accepted the role of Watchers on their behalf.
• The Shadow of Noah scheduled the soul-binding ritual for the next day, and the crew began preparations for their return home.

The Straw Hat Pirates completed the Sparks Binding Ritual, and W7 chose to remain with the Beacon as they planned how to confront Imu and other dangers. They returned to the Grand Line near Wano Country, ready to continue their adventures and deal with the world’s hidden threats.

• The Straw Hat Pirates received Sparks Brands at Laugh Tale and became Beacon Noah’s official Sparks Watchers.
• W7 chose to stay with the Beacon, while the Straw Hat Pirates planned to protect Shirahoshi, secure the Pluton blueprints, and expose and defeat Imu.
• Nami chose a stable departure window, and the crew spent three days adapting to their brands and upgrading the Ark Maxim.
• The Straw Hat Pirates departed through the Well of the Star Sea and traveled seven days through a tunnel of light.
• The Ark Maxim emerged over the Grand Line about five hundred nautical miles southeast of Wano Country, and Luffy ordered the crew to set sail.

Earth and the wider universe reacted to the Straw Hat Pirates’ departure as the Beacon’s defenses destroyed the Triangle Bodies fleets, while Carl sought to exploit the disaster and the angels and Ancient Law Faction increased their vigilance. The Straw Hat Pirates had safely returned to the Grand Line, but the growing Void threat left their connection to the Beacon and the other world unresolved.

• Lianfeng reported that the Kunlun gate was recording and transmitting information toward the Terminal Navigation Beacon, while Earth detected Triangle Bodies fleets heading there with suspected Void guidance.
• Carl learned that the Beacon’s defenses had annihilated the three Triangle Bodies fleets and ordered Snow to monitor the region and pursue contact with the Silent Abyss.
• Hexi explained to Angel Yan that ancient covenants linked the angels to the Sparks and warned that interference could cause catastrophe, so Yan ordered further research and closer monitoring.
• Morgana learned that the Triangle Bodies fleets had been destroyed by forces resembling Allen’s and placed Demon One on level-three cruising combat readiness.
• Cruiser-073 received Earth’s risk warning as the Ancient Law Faction confirmed the Straw Hat Pirates had safely returned home and approved continued observation and possible future warnings.

The Straw Hat Pirates returned to a freer but more chaotic sea after helping defeat the otherworldly invasion and dismantle the old order. They repelled a coalition of new factions and set course to confront the lingering dangers of the post-Imu era.

• The crew arrived near Wano and learned that the World Government had collapsed, Marine Headquarters was being reformed, and new factions had emerged.
• Franky detected fifteen approaching attackers from the air, sea, and underwater, including Flying Pirates remnants, Barbarossa's followers, and the Abyss Hunters.
• Allen activated the Ark Maxim's Order Barrier, which nullified the attackers' barrage.
• Allen assigned the crew to counterattack, and the Straw Hat Pirates defeated the coalition in less than ten minutes, leaving wrecked ships and subdued survivors.
• Allen declared that they would clear out the new threats and continue their journey as the Ark Maxim sailed toward suspicious coordinates.

After the Straw Hat Pirates’ effortless victory, the Marines, Barbarossa, and the Revolutionary Army assessed their new power and watched their movements. Allen guided the Ark Maxim toward a suspected contamination site, where a hidden cult prepared to lure the crew into a trap.

• Sakazuki ordered the Marines to monitor the Straw Hat Pirates but forbade unprovoked attacks, while Gion warned that their power might destabilize the sea.
• Barbarossa ordered the Abyss Hunters to investigate the Straw Hat Pirates and the Ark Maxim, and directed his researchers to accelerate cultivation of the Seed of the Abyss.
• Dragon and Sabo suspected Allen and the Straw Hat Pirates had encountered beings beyond the world, and Dragon told Revolutionary Army commanders to observe without interfering.
• Allen sensed a stubborn source of contamination near a submerged reef zone, so the Ark Maxim sailed there to test the crew’s purification methods.
• A black-robed figure at the reef prepared the tumor-like growth called Mother to spread, and stirred the dormant Fangs of the Reef to attack the approaching purifiers.

Allen and the Straw Hats entered a contaminated reef zone, where Allen purified the mutated sea creatures and destroyed the source in an ancient wreck. The mist cleared, but the black-robed believer’s reference to “Mother” left Allen suspecting a wider threat as the crew prepared to continue their search.

• Allen sensed the contamination’s core in an ancient wreck and the crew was attacked by mutated sea creatures controlled by dark vines.
• Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe severed the creatures’ connections to the source while Allen spread purifying light that calmed and cleansed them.
• Nami steered the Ark Maxim toward the wreck as a black-robed believer sacrificed himself and awakened the contamination’s tentacles.
• Allen formed a spear of purification and destroyed the core, the tentacles, and the believer, while the creatures were restored and the mist dispersed.
• Allen told the crew that purification strengthened his Sparks Brand, but warned that “Mother” might signal a larger threat.

After purifying the reef, Allen and the Straw Hat Pirates learned from Sairanos, an envoy of the Deep-Sea Council, that a traitorous elder named Callistos was helping spread the corruption. They accepted the council’s cooperation and set course for the Ocean Current Graveyard to confront the growing threat.

• Franky finished recording the purification data, and Nami noted that at least seven other corruption markers remained.
• Sairanos emerged from the sea, identified himself as a Deep-Sea Council envoy, and explained that ancient pollution was escaping from the deep after the Starry Sky Calamity.
• Sairanos revealed that Callistos, a Shadow Shell Tribe elder, had betrayed the council and was exploiting weaknesses in the seals to spread corruption.
• Allen accepted the council’s offer of cooperation and received its information, including a warning that corruption was rising near the Ocean Current Graveyard and Callistos might be there.
• Sairanos gave Allen a Deep Blue Beacon to contact council members and guide the ship, then warned that Callistos had been altered by corruptive power.
• Allen chose to delay entering the Abyss Corridor, set the Ark Maxim toward the Ocean Current Graveyard, and assigned his crew to develop purification-based combat tactics for the journey.

Portgas D. Allen and the Straw Hat Pirates reached the southern node in the Ocean Current Graveyard, where Callistos sprang a powerful trap. As the Ark Maxim and its crew were caught in the killing ground, Allen revealed he had anticipated the ambush and unleashed his Sparks.

• Allen and the Straw Hat Pirates crossed the chaotic currents aboard the Ark Maxim and met Tortuga, Xi, and Mr. Shell at the Vortex Eye Observation Point.
• The Deep-Sea Council explained that Callistos had linked three corrupted nodes to the Vortex Eye Core Zone, and Allen chose to attack the dangerous southern node with the group together.
• Robin analyzed the southern node and found its energy hubs and main channel, while Allen assigned the crew roles for clearing its guards and purifying the growth.
• Callistos appeared in the growth and activated a hidden formation, turning the currents and spatial rifts against the crew and empowering the corrupted guards.
• Allen stayed calm as the trap closed around them, declared that he had prepared for Callistos's ambush, and ignited his silver-white Sparks.

Allen and his allies broke Callistos's trap, destroyed the southern corruption node, and severed part of the core area's force field. Allen then revealed Callistos's monstrous true body and learned that the intelligent Source of Corruption had noticed them, so the crew prepared to destroy the remaining nodes.

• Allen used Order Camouflage and an information-reflection layer to misdirect Callistos's traps and protect the Ark Maxim and its crew.
• Luffy, Tortuga, Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe, Robin, Nami, Franky, and the others attacked the disrupted defenses while Allen struck Callistos's spiritual link with Spacetime Judgment: End of Purification.
• Allen's strike destroyed the southern node network and its corrupted guards, weakened the core area's force field, and left a fragment of Callistos's spirit in his custody.
• Allen used Soul Search and Shadow Tracing: Origin Revealed to expose Callistos's true body fused with the Source of Corruption, but the Source interrupted the vision and the remnant dissolved.
• Allen warned Tortuga that the Source of Corruption was intelligent and aware of them, and the group resolved to destroy the eastern and western nodes next.

Allen’s teams destroyed the eastern and western nodes, collapsing the force field and exposing a vast Nest of Corruption that was spawning elite guards. Allen purified the nest and its unstable passage to the Source of Corruption, then proposed using the passage’s recorded coordinates to strike at Mother’s true body.

• Allen split the crew into two teams, which attacked the eastern and western nodes simultaneously.
• Allen’s team dismantled the eastern node, while Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe, and Tortuga destroyed the western node.
• The force field collapsed, revealing the Nest of Corruption inside a vast spatial bubble, where new elite guards emerged.
• Allen identified a dark point and a spatial passage connecting the nest to the ancient Source of Corruption, then prepared a powerful purification strike.
• Luffy protected the Ark Maxim as Allen’s Star Core: Space-Time Purification destroyed the nest, its guards, and the passage.
• Xi confirmed the corruption threat had been eliminated, and Allen said he had memorized the passage’s coordinates so they could target Mother’s true body.

After escaping the Ocean Current Graveyard, Allen brought the Deep-Sea Council proof of a spatial passage leading toward the Source of Corruption and joined forces with Speaker Aisera to prepare an assault. A warning from the Black Troop revealed that Death God Carl and the Triangle Bodies might also be targeting the corruption, turning the campaign into a race against outside forces.

• Allen and his companions escaped the Ocean Current Graveyard as its uncontrolled energy storms ravaged the region.
• Three days later, Tortuga guided the Ark Maxim to the Deep-Sea Council’s City of Tranquil Echo, where Allen met Speaker Aisera and the council elders.
• Tortuga reported that Allen had destroyed the Nest of Corruption, damaged a spatial passage, and recorded its coordinates; Allen explained the risks and urgency of using it to attack the Source of Corruption.
• Speaker Aisera activated the Deep Blue Protocol, committed the council’s resources to locating and stabilizing the passage, and formed an alliance with Allen.
• Ge Xiaolun contacted the council through an unstable channel and warned that Death God Carl and the Triangle Bodies might be probing the deep sea and seeking the Source of Corruption.
• After the communication ended, Aisera ordered the council to mobilize immediately and told Allen they must destroy the Source of Corruption before forces from other universes intervened.

After absorbing the Deep-Sea Council’s knowledge, Allen prepared to locate and stabilize the passage to the Source of Corruption while the Straw Hat Pirates and allied forces readied themselves for battle. At the Ocean Current Graveyard, the Source began repairing the passage and attacked Allen’s fleet as they approached.

• Aisera ordered the Deep-Sea Council to enter its highest combat readiness and opened its Ancient Memory Corridor and Rule Analysis Chamber to Allen.
• Allen studied ancient spatial techniques and corruption research, while the Straw Hat Pirates trained at the Coral Sacred Spring and allies prepared to support them.
• After three days, Allen learned that the Source of Corruption was pulling the damaged passage back into existence, so he and his companions set out with the Deep-Sea Guardians.
• At the Ocean Current Graveyard, Allen’s fleet found a dark purple vortex that was rapidly stabilizing into a passage.
• The Source of Corruption recognized Allen and sent powerful tentacles through the vortex, using its suction to try to drag the Ark Maxim and the fleet into the passage.

Allen anchored and disrupted the passage to the Source of Corruption, allowing the Ark Maxim and its reinforcements to break through the vortex and enter the passage. As the allied forces fought the corruption’s guards, Allen worked to stabilize a bridgehead near the lair’s entrance.

• Allen pierced the corrupted spatial barrier, located the Source of Corruption’s true body, and disrupted its energy circulation with sparks power.
• Tortuga rallied the defenders as Franky drove the Ark Maxim into the weakened vortex, while Jinbe’s troops, Sabo’s Revolutionary Army squad, and Fujitora’s Marine task force helped open a breach.
• The Ark Maxim plunged into the passage, where Allen used a rule-penetrating line to guide the ship and resist the corruption’s assault.
• Void Predators, Abyss Giant Scorpions, and Corrupted Heroic Spirits emerged to intercept the intruders, and the allied fighters engaged them in battle.
• Allen reinforced the passage and began building a stable bridgehead near the lair as the Source of Corruption summoned more guards and the forces fought toward the Abyss entrance.

Allen and the allied forces reached the Source of Corruption’s royal court and established a Purification Outpost, then fought desperately while he completed a stable portal. The portal opened as the Source of Corruption launched a renewed all-out assault, with reinforcements beginning to approach.

• Allen led the battered alliance through the passage and revealed the Source of Corruption’s vast royal court and army.
• Allen deployed a silver-blue rune that created a five-hundred-meter Order Field and began forming a coordinate gate.
• Tortuga, Jinbe, Sabo, Fujitora, and the Straw Hat Pirates defended the outpost as corrupted monsters and offspring tumors attacked.
• The Source of Corruption targeted Allen with a powerful beam, and Allen deflected most of it with a space-time shield while continuing to build the portal.
• After ten minutes of fighting and mounting casualties, Allen stabilized the portal as the Source of Corruption began another all-out assault and reinforcements approached.

Reinforcements from the Deep-Sea Council, Fish-Man Island, the Revolutionary Army, the Marines, and another universe helped stop the corrupted army’s advance. Allen forged Sparks Judgment and purified the Source of Corruption, but the royal court and the passage between universes began collapsing, forcing the allies to evacuate.

• Council Speaker Aisera, Prince Manboshi, Dragon, the Fleet Admiral, and Ge Xiaolun led reinforcements into the Corrupted Royal Court and stabilized the Order Field.
• As the allies battled the Source of Corruption’s forces, Chopper and Robin helped Allen recover so he could complete the final purification.
• Allen exploited a brief weakness in the Source of Corruption’s defenses and forged Sparks Judgment from the Sparks Brand, the Beacon at Laugh Tale, and the hopes of the allied forces.
• Allen struck the Source of Corruption’s core, purifying it and its corrupted armies while the Corrupted Royal Court returned to light.
• Allen found and kept a glowing crystal left behind by the purified Source of Corruption.
• After the Abyss Corridor began collapsing and Lianfeng warned that the wormhole was destabilizing, Ge Xiaolun and the allied forces evacuated, and Allen returned through the teleportation light.

After the Source of Corruption was destroyed, Allen received an urgent plea from the Black Troop’s universe: Death God Carl’s experiment had unleashed an expanding artificial Chaos storm. Allen and the Straw Hat Pirates agreed to cross universes and help contain it, with no more than sixty days before the crisis could become irreversible.

• Allen examined the pure white crystal born from purifying the Source of Corruption, sensing vast life energy and a nascent consciousness within it.
• Speaker Aisera relayed an urgent communication request from the Black Troop’s world, where Ge Xiaolun, General Dukao, Lianfeng, Angel Yan, and others reported a spreading energy storm near the Styx Galaxy.
• The group explained that Death God Carl had used cross-universe corruption fluctuations in an attempt to create an artificial Chaos source, but the experiment had gone out of control and the Triangle Bodies Civilization was monitoring the storm.
• General Dukao and Angel Yan asked Allen and his companions to travel to their universe and use Sparks to purify the storm; Allen asked about transport safety, time differences, command authority, evacuation, and the intervention deadline.
• Lianfeng reported that the storm covered roughly three stellar systems, was expanding at an accelerating rate, and could become difficult to reverse after reaching ten systems; the safe intervention window was at most sixty Earth days.
• After the Straw Hat Pirates voiced their support, Allen accepted the plea for help and agreed to lead the cross-universe rescue operation.

Allen and the Straw Hat Pirates crossed universes through a passage anchored near Laugh Tale and arrived safely at North Star Spaceport on Earth in the Chiwu Star System. They joined General Dukao, the Black Troop, and Angel Yan, then headed to the command center to learn about the expanding artificial Chaos storm.

• Aisera, Dragon, and the Deep-Sea Council helped prepare the cross-universe passage, while Shanks sent Luffy and Allen a message of support.
• Allen and the Straw Hat Pirates activated the passage and crossed into another universe, where their abilities encountered unfamiliar rules and energies.
• Lianfeng guided the group to the third synchronous orbital platform outside North Star Spaceport, where they arrived safely.
• General Dukao, Ge Xiaolun, Angel Yan, and other allies welcomed Allen and the Straw Hats to Earth.
• Lianfeng led the group toward the command center to share intelligence and combat simulations about the artificial Chaos storm expanding at the edge of the Styx Galaxy.

Allen and the allied civilizations tested whether Sparks could convert the Nether Abyss’s chaotic energy, discovering that it evolved into an unstable hybrid form called Chaos Sparks. The test showed promise but revealed new risks, while Triangle Bodies warships began absorbing the storm’s energy and growing stronger.

• Lianfeng, General Dukao, Angel Yan, and Ge Xiaolun described the Nether Abyss’s rapid growth and how it resisted or absorbed their attacks.
• Allen proposed planting Sparks in the storm to convert its chaos into order, with Ge Xiaolun, Leina, and Angel Yan supporting the process using their abilities.
• Angel Yan and Ge Xiaolun helped Allen study the universe’s rules, and the team prepared a chaos simulation chamber for a controlled test.
• Allen, Ge Xiaolun, Leina, and Angel Yan introduced a Sparks Seed into the simulated chaos, where it mutated into dark-gold Chaos Sparks and consumed all energy in the chamber.
• Allen concluded that Sparks could organize chaotic energy but that its intermediate-state product could be dangerous and required further testing.
• Angel Yan reported that Triangle Bodies fleets were harvesting the Nether Abyss’s energy, and their warships were already showing chaotic patterns and increased strength.

Allen led an allied assault on a Triangle Body asteroid base to destroy its chaos-energy incubation facilities and test his evolving sparks. The squad completed the raid and escaped, but the Triangle Bodies had learned about their new tactics, while the Nether Abyss continued to expand and Death God Carl remained at large.

• Angel Yan and General Dukao organized an elite raid, assigning Allen to lead the assault squad while Luffy and the others stayed behind to strengthen North Star Spaceport's defenses.
• Allen and the squad infiltrated the asteroid base through an energy exhaust fissure, where his sparks neutralized corrosive tendrils and helped defeat the new chaos-infused Triangle Bodies.
• The squad reached the incubation chamber and split up to fight its linked guards while Robin attacked the core's connections and Franky bombarded the energy pool.
• Allen used the Seed of Order Reconstruction to destroy the incubation core, purify the pool, and weaken the guards, allowing the squad to defeat them and collect samples and data.
• As Triangle Body reinforcements converged, Allen rewrote the base's biological tissue into inactive crystalline matter, and the squad escaped by assault ship.
• General Dukao warned that the Triangle Bodies had likely shared the battle data across their species, while Allen and Angel Yan noted the benefits of adapting and combining their different powers.

After a reconnaissance fleet discovered Carl’s laboratory and a mysterious door at the Nether Abyss’s core, Allen assembled a coalition to enter the storm and stop her. The Dawn launched with fifty-six warriors, while Carl prepared the door to absorb chaos energy.

• During the victory briefing, Angel Yan warned that Allen’s contact with chaos energy exposed him to dangerous Void information, and Allen said the whispers had revealed artificial order within the Nether Abyss.
• The Deep Dive Practitioners No. 7 fleet transmitted images of Carl’s tower, her failed Void divine body test subjects, and a message welcoming the “flame of order” before its signal vanished.
• Allen concluded that the tower was likely the Nether Abyss’s control core, and Robin suggested Carl was using the chaos to open a door to the Void’s source or something more dangerous.
• The Straw Hat Pirates, Black Troop, angel vanguard, and Lieyang forces joined Allen for the operation, and they spent seventy-two hours preparing for the mission.
• Allen and fifty-five other warriors boarded the Dawn and launched toward the Nether Abyss, while Carl watched their approach as the door behind her absorbed chaos energy.
