Chapter Summaries

Sabo, Allen, Luffy, and their allies arrived at a mechanical city where Imu’s Purification Unit erased individuality and suppressed their abilities. After resistance fighters helped them damage the Order Core Tower, Imu activated the Final Protocol, and the allies faced a colossal weapon and reactivated guards.

• Sabo received a distress signal from the Sorbet Kingdom, and Pluton carried the allies to the transformed island.
• The allies discovered that surveillance drones, Order Guards, and a rule force field controlled the city and suppressed their powers.
• The group fought the adapting machines while the Purification Unit processed residents into obedient workers and eliminated those who resisted.
• Local resistance fighters led the allies through maintenance routes and revealed a periodic gap in the Order Core Tower’s defenses.
• Allen timed the opening, allowing Ace and Sabo to strike the tower’s foundations and disable its force field.
• Imu’s Final Protocol reactivated the guards and summoned a colossal weapon, while Luffy vowed to stop it.

Allen, Luffy, Ace, Sabo, and the resistance fought Reckoner and destroyed the weapon after Allen and Sabo exploited a brief weakness in its defenses. The victory ended the absolute order field in the steel city, but the survivors faced heavy losses, and Imu’s order formatting remained active elsewhere.

• Reckoner attacked Ace and Sabo with a devastating energy beam, and Allen slowed it long enough for them to escape.
• Luffy, Ace, Sabo, Allen, and the resistance fought the adapting robots while Reckoner targeted them and inflicted heavy casualties.
• The resistance leader identified a brief defensive fluctuation at Reckoner’s cooling fins, and Allen and Sabo planned to exploit it.
• Luffy and Ace drew Reckoner’s fire while Allen extended the opening in time and Sabo shattered its information-processing core.
• Reckoner began an uncontrolled self-destructive blast, and Allen delayed and redirected it skyward while the survivors fled to shelters.
• Reckoner exploded, ending the city’s absolute order field, and Luffy helped the exhausted Allen as the group considered where Imu’s order remained.

After escaping the ruined city, the allied forces discovered a temporal crystal cavern that restored Allen and revealed memories of the land’s past. The crystals awakened Pluton’s true purpose as a force for protection and balance, and the allies departed with new powers and a clearer understanding of Imu’s plans.

• Baku led the injured allies to a hidden cavern of temporal resonance crystals, where Allen’s Power of Time began recovering.
• Sabo used the crystals to witness fragments of the land’s history and realized Imu had been plundering resources that preserved historical information.
• The crystals awakened Pluton’s ancient inscriptions, and Robin learned that its true core ability was to protect and balance the world’s ley lines and spacetime flows.
• Allen, Sabo, Ace, and Luffy each felt their abilities or connection to Pluton change as the ship resonated with the cavern.
• The allies carefully gathered some crystals, strengthened Pluton’s defenses, helped the survivors establish a concealed shelter, and sailed away through a gentle ripple in spacetime.

Pluton entered the Sea of Mists, where Allen used his power of time to calm the ancient civilization’s thought-forms and reveal how Imu’s forces had destroyed and erased them. After Robin promised the dead they would be remembered, their spirits found release and left Pluton with a historical legacy and enhanced abilities; the crew continued toward more buried truths.

• Pluton guided the allied forces into the Sea of Mists, where shattered spacetime and dense fog disrupted navigation and perception.
• Thought-forms attacked Pluton and forced Luffy, Ace, Sabo, Allen, and the ship to relive painful memories.
• Allen stopped resisting and used his power of time to calm the thought-forms and receive their memories of a nature-harmonious civilization destroyed by a sudden attack.
• Robin vowed that the ancient people would be remembered, and the thought-forms dissipated after their history and spiritual energy merged with Pluton.
• Pluton gained pale blue markings, stronger concealment, and the ability to mimic the energy signature of the mist.
• Sabo identified new coordinates, and Pluton continued into the mist to seek more forgotten truths.

Pluton’s growing bond with the Whispers of All Spirits awakened its role as a civilization ark, and the allied forces rescued the surviving Guardian Spirit Tribe and preserved Emerald Star’s memories through the Ark Covenant. Guided by Emerald Star’s memories, they set course for Imu’s gene bank and civilization archives to reclaim stolen cultural and genetic samples.

• Robin discovered that Pluton was learning from the civilizations whose imprints it absorbed, while Sabo began using the Whispers of All Spirits to predict likely events and avoid Imu’s patrol fleet.
• Pluton’s sorrowful whispers led the allied forces to the ruined Emerald Star, where Allen sensed fractured time and Sabo identified a weapon that had erased life.
• Robin detected survivors beneath the scorched ground, and Luffy and Ace uncovered the last Guardian Spirit Tribe protecting their withered Mother Tree.
• The Guardian Spirit Tribe shared their history and knowledge, then consented to Pluton preserving them and the Mother Tree through its newly awakened Ark Covenant.
• Pluton incorporated Emerald Star’s civilization into its hull, and Sabo used its memories to identify a nearby facility where Imu stored stolen genetic and cultural samples.
• The allied forces set course to raid Imu’s twisted Noah’s Ark project and reclaim the sparks of civilization.

Sabo, Luffy, Allen, Ace, and Robin raided Noah, Imu’s hidden archive of genetic specimens and civilization records, and used Pluton’s Life Echo to defeat its control system without killing those inside. They rescued the specimens and databases aboard Pluton, while their victory pushed the war with Imu into a new stage.

• Sabo used memories from Emerald Star and Pluton’s Heart of the Ark to locate Noah concealed inside a remodeled planet, and Pluton found a hidden entrance.
• Luffy and Allen infiltrated the facility, discovered its biological specimens and cultural archives, and found the Genesis Tree controlling the system.
• Noah’s system began destroying specimens as guards attacked, so Luffy fought the guards while Allen used his Power of Time to slow the damage.
• Ace entered through a passage widened by Pluton and joined Luffy and Allen, while Robin warned them that destroying the Genesis Tree would kill the specimens.
• Pluton activated Ark Protocol: Life Echo, which halted the specimens’ decomposition and weakened the guards and Genesis Tree; Allen guided its energy as Luffy and Ace destroyed the tree’s core.
• Pluton transferred the surviving specimens and cultural databases into its Ark Chamber and left Noah, while the allies prepared for the next stage of their war with Imu.

The allied forces entered Golden Heart to expose Imu’s scheme, but Tesoro used the city’s greed-amplifying domain to attack them. Pluton’s Radiance of the Clear Mind helped Tesoro confront his past and reject Imu’s control, and he joined the alliance as they set course for the heart of Imu’s order.

• Sabo learned that Tesoro had received Imu’s sponsorship to turn Golden Heart into a trap, and the crew chose to enter the city and expose the scheme.
• Tesoro attacked the allied forces with his gold domain, which amplified their desires and disrupted their abilities.
• Sabo ordered Pluton to release the Radiance of the Clear Mind, weakening Tesoro’s domain and restoring the allies’ focus.
• Sabo and Allen confronted Tesoro with memories of love, sacrifice, and Imu’s destruction of civilizations, causing Tesoro to question his faith in money and power.
• Tesoro released the guests, revealed evidence of his collusion with Imu, and pledged his wealth and forces to the alliance as atonement to Stella.
• The alliance accepted Tesoro, and Pluton departed Golden Heart for the core of Imu’s order.

After the Gold City evidence spread, the Five Elders ordered censorship and violent purges across the universe to restore the World Government’s authority. Aboard Pluton, Sabo and his allies decided to find a symbolic target and strike back against the repression.

• The Five Elders branded the Gold City evidence a forgery, ordered information suppressed, and launched the Order Purification operation against suspected dissenters.
• World Government forces attacked several planets with PX-Z Pacifistas, CP0 agents, and fleet bombardments, spreading fear and silencing opposition.
• Sabo, Ace, Luffy, Tesoro, Robin, and Allen reacted to the violence aboard Pluton and resolved not to stand by.
• Robin proposed striking a target the World Government was using to make an example of others, and Sabo agreed to identify one.
• Luffy pledged to lead the alliance to the target and smash the World Government’s display of order.

Sabo led the allies aboard Pluton to defend the Coruscant Ring from a World Government fleet commanded by the Three Admirals and supported by CP0. As the battle intensified, Pluton awakened and strengthened the defenders, but the clash remained unresolved with the ring’s fate still at stake.

• Sabo identified the Coruscant Ring as the World Government fleet’s target and positioned Pluton to block its approach.
• The Three Admirals and CP0’s stealth ships emerged, and their opening barrage struck Pluton’s Ark Barrier.
• Ace, Luffy, Allen, and Tesoro counterattacked while fighting Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, and CP0 agents.
• Sabo and Tesoro fought off CP0 infiltrators inside Pluton as the battle reached a stalemate.
• Pluton awakened, using its powers to disrupt CP0, bolster Allen and Luffy, and help Tesoro redirect enemy attacks.
• The Three Admirals continued pressing the attack, and the battle for the Coruscant Ring remained undecided.

Ace, Luffy, and Sabo fought the Three Admirals aboard Pluton while Tesoro supported Sabo and Allen used his spacetime abilities to shape the battle. The Admirals recognized Allen as their greatest threat, and the fierce battle continued with victory still uncertain.

• Ace countered Kuzan’s ice with purifying flames, shattered his frost bird, and forced him back with a compressed sphere of fire.
• Luffy clashed with Sakazuki’s magma attacks, destroyed his magma fist and falling meteors, and challenged his claim that pirates deserved eradication.
• Sabo used his Omniscient Domain to predict Borsalino’s light-speed attacks while Tesoro’s gold shield and constructs helped defend and obstruct the Admiral.
• Allen accelerated particles to melt Kuzan’s ice, decayed Sakazuki’s magma, and folded space to help Sabo intercept Borsalino, while also assisting allied fighters and slowing CP0.
• The Three Admirals sensed Allen’s influence and identified him as a threat they needed to eliminate.

Akainu attacked Luffy and Pluton with growing fury, while Aokiji held back and Kizaru stalled as Allen subtly shaped the battle with his Power of Time. The allied forces kept Pluton operational, but Akainu demanded that the other Admirals obey the highest orders, leaving the battle’s outcome uncertain.

• Akainu unleashed increasingly reckless magma attacks against Luffy and Pluton, forcing Luffy to spend heavily on defense.
• Aokiji used restrained ice attacks against Ace and showed signs of wavering, while Ace challenged the meaning of the battle.
• Kizaru avoided serious engagement with Ace, Sabo, and Tesoro, and Sabo concluded that he was stalling and gathering data.
• Allen weakened Akainu’s attacks, helped Aokiji’s ice stabilize damaged hull sections, and maintained defenses against Kizaru.
• Sabo and Tesoro kept CP0 at bay as Pluton remained functional, and Akainu shouted at Aokiji and Kizaru to destroy their enemies.

Akainu, Kuzan, and Borsalino unleashed their full strength, pushing the allied forces defending Pluton to the brink. As Allen neared his limits and the Coruscant Ring faced destruction, the phantom Emerald Mother Tree began to shine with a new energy.

• Kuzan trapped Ace in a contracting ice prison and forced him to fight off relentless attacks.
• Borsalino struck Sabo hard, targeted Pluton and Tesoro with concentrated beams, and threatened allies with lethal speed.
• Akainu overwhelmed Luffy with a barrage of magma attacks, leaving him on the defensive.
• Allen strained to manipulate time across several battlefronts and rescue soldiers as Pluton's shields weakened.
• The allied forces reached their most dangerous situation, and the phantom Emerald Mother Tree began spreading an unfamiliar energy.

Enel, Boa Hancock, and the Revolutionary Army arrived as reinforcements, breaking the Three Admirals’ assault and freeing Ace from Kuzan’s ice prison. The siege of Pluton eased, while the battle remained unresolved and grew more chaotic.

• Enel arrived aboard the Ark Maxim and blasted Akainu’s magma fist with lightning.
• Boa Hancock interrupted Kizaru’s attack and drove him back with her powers and Haki-coated arrows.
• Ivankov and Inazuma helped destroy Kuzan’s ice prison, freeing Ace, while the Happiness attacked the World Government fleet.
• Karasu, Morley, and the Revolutionary Army’s main fleet struck the enemy formation from the flank.
• Sabo welcomed the reinforcements as Allen repaired himself and Pluton; Kizaru withdrew, and Kuzan’s attacks weakened.

The World Government’s forces turned back the reinforcements and CP0 struck Allen, Pluton, and the Revolutionary Army command, pushing the allies into a worsening crisis. As Pluton’s systems failed and the defenders were trapped, the Emerald Mother Tree’s phantom flickered as an ancient consciousness began to awaken.

• Akainu ordered an Iron Wall Encirclement, while Kuzan and Kizaru blocked the reinforcements from reaching Pluton.
• Three CP0 agents surrounded Allen and forced him into a dangerous close-quarters fight.
• CP0 planted explosives by Pluton’s power core, and Sabo and Tesoro stopped its destruction but could not prevent severe damage to the propulsion system.
• CP0 agents tried to assassinate Karasu, Morley, and other Revolutionary Army commanders, briefly disrupting their chain of command.
• Akainu pinned down Luffy and Ace as the government fleet and Admirals kept the reinforcements outside the central battle zone.
• The Emerald Mother Tree’s phantom flickered inside Pluton as an ancient consciousness began to awaken.

Allen awakened the Torch Dragon Fruit’s Severed Realm and used it to shield Pluton from the World Government’s attacks. As the protection faltered, creatures from the cosmic abyss emerged and attacked the government forces, leaving the battle uncertain.

• Allen fully awakened the Torch Dragon Fruit and used Severed Realm to stretch and distort the space around Pluton, stopping the CP0 captains and the World Government’s attacks.
• Akainu, Kuzan, Kizaru, and the CP0 agents struggled against the spatial barrier while Allen weakened under the strain.
• Sabo led repairs to Pluton’s power system, and Tesoro used gold to replace damaged structures.
• A fissure opened beneath Pluton, and the Children of the Abyss emerged to attack the World Government’s fleet and fighters.
• Robin suggested that Pluton and Allen’s Torch Dragon power had attracted the abyssal creatures, while Allen narrowed Severed Realm to protect Pluton’s core.

The allied forces used the Sons of the Abyss’ attack to retreat from the World Government fleet, but Akainu broke through the chaos and nearly crippled Pluton. Allen stopped him with a devastating Torch Dragon technique, allowing the allies to escape while leaving Akainu furious and wounded.

• Sabo ordered the allied forces to withdraw as Tesoro and the engineers restored enough power for Pluton to travel.
• Kuzan and Kizaru covertly hindered the World Government’s pursuit while Akainu fought the abyssal creatures.
• Akainu broke through the fighting and attacked Pluton’s engines, but Allen used Instant Eternity to halt him and shatter part of his magma body.
• Allen collapsed from the technique’s strain as Pluton escaped the encirclement and joined the allied fleet.
• The abyssal creatures withdrew, and Akainu vowed revenge as the allies sailed away.

After escaping the World Government, the allied forces assessed their heavy losses and discussed the strange beings drawn to Allen’s Power of Zhulong. Pluton received coordinates to the legendary Lethe Stream, and the fleet set course there to repair and prepare for what came next.

• Sabo reported that nearly thirty percent of the Revolutionary Army soldiers were killed or wounded and that Pluton had sustained serious damage, though its ark chamber remained intact.
• Robin identified the rift beings as likely Children of the Abyss or Kin of the Old Ones, and Allen said his awakened power may have drawn their attention.
• Robin observed that Aokiji had held back and Kizaru had slacked off, while Luffy vowed to defeat Akainu and Ace urged him to grow stronger.
• The emerald mother tree and Pluton’s ancient imprint revealed coordinates to the legendary Lethe Stream, a dangerous refuge beyond the World Government’s reach.
• Sabo chose the Lethe Stream as their next destination and ordered repairs to Pluton’s propulsion and navigation systems.

After Pluton escaped the World Government’s interception, the Five Elders raised the crew’s bounties and ordered a new force to be developed to counter Ancient Weapons and unusual abilities. Allen and his companions received the new posters as Pluton sailed into The Lethe Stream, with no way back.

• The Five Elders discussed Pluton’s escape, raised Allen’s threat level, and ordered the crew declared the universe’s most heinous criminals while accelerating a secret project.
• Akainu Sakazuki ordered the World Economy News Paper to publish new bounty posters across the universe.
• The World Government set Allen’s bounty at 2,223,000,000 Beli, and raised the bounties of Monkey D. Luffy, Portgas D. Ace, Sabo, and the other crew members.
• Pirates, bounty hunters, kingdoms, and ordinary people reacted with shock and fear to the crew’s enormous new bounties.
• Luffy, Ace, Sabo, and Allen examined their posters aboard Pluton, and Allen said they had no way back.
• Pluton entered The Lethe Stream as it continued toward unknown challenges and ancient secrets.

Sabo and the crew aboard Pluton entered the dangerous Lethe Stream, where unstable spacetime and signs from the ship led them to ancient ruins. As Pluton prepared to land, a fleet of unknown warships ambushed them and damaged the ship.

• Sabo thanked Enel, Hancock, and the Revolutionary Army fleet for their help, and they departed as Pluton continued alone into the Lethe Stream.
• The crew navigated spatial rifts, shifting gravity, and regions with distorted time as Pluton's whispers grew brighter and seemed to guide them homeward.
• Robin spotted ancient ruins on a torn landmass, and Sabo and Allen sensed that the ruins were calling to Pluton and offered a stable point in time.
• As Pluton approached the ruins to land, several black warships with biological and mechanical features emerged from the debris and attacked.
• The warships' red energy beams struck Pluton's weakened shields and damaged its hull, while Sabo and Allen prepared to respond.

After Pluton escaped its pursuers into a maze of space, Allen entered the Temporal Interstice and faced three trials that tested his command of time, space, light, and darkness. He gained preliminary control of the Torch Dragon’s powers and returned to find that Pluton had opened trials for his companions.

• Pluton fled the black fleet into a region of tangled spatial folds, leaving the ship lost and in need of repairs.
• The whispers of the spirits guided Allen to a hidden passage leading to Pluton’s Temporal Interstice.
• Allen endured the Weight of Time and found stable coordinates in the Labyrinth of Space.
• Allen accepted the powers of light and darkness without surrendering his emotions, gaining preliminary control over the Torch Dragon’s authorities.
• Allen returned to the control room as Pluton opened separate passages for Luffy, Ace, Sabo, and the others to begin their trials.
