Bai Yu arrived and destroyed Doflamingo’s Birdcage after Blackbeard revealed that Red-Haired Shanks’s strength had come from the Cause-Cause Fruit, which let him gain power through karmic debts. Bai Yu warned Doflamingo and the others, then told Carina that the Devil Fruit powers had been stripped from Marine Headquarters as well and that weaker counterfeit users might soon appear; Shanks then spat blood.

• Daps explained that Imu wanted to see Bai Yu and that Whole Cake Island was exposed without him, while Killer’s Devil Fruit power had sealed the surrounding space and prevented Bai Yu from returning.

Bai Yu remained calm as the Five Elders threatened his allies, and Blueno’s Den Den Mushi revealed that their plan against Whitebeard and the others had failed. Daps ordered Killer to release the spatial confinement and warned Bai Yu that Imu’s next move would threaten the entire world.

• Daps taunted Bai Yu, claiming that Whitebeard and the others would be killed and their Devil Fruit powers reclaimed.
• Blueno revealed that he had kept a Visual Den Den Mushi connection open with Lucci to record the attack, and he brought out the wilted snail.

• Daps acknowledged that they had underestimated Bai Yu, ordered Killer to dispel the spatial confinement, and warned that Imu’s next game would threaten the entire world.

The Five Elders awakened their newly acquired Rinnegan and used its power to crush Bai Yu, who recognized the eyes from another world. As the pressure drove him into the ground, the story shifted to a distant island where a white figure stood atop a Devil Tree covered in thousands of Devil Fruits.

• Killer and the other three entered giant light forms resembling the Five Elders, revealing purple Rinnegan eyes.
• Bai Yu recognized the Rinnegan and suspected that his world had crossed into another show.

• Far away, a white figure stood atop a vast Devil Tree bearing thousands of Devil Fruits.

Ōtsutsuki Imu watched the Five Elders try to crush Bai Yu, then reacted with fury when he mocked her status and the Rinnegan. Bai Yu rose into a white-haired form and resisted their gravity, but Daps and the others unleashed a blood-red Rinnegan that intensified the crushing force.

• Ōtsutsuki Imu observed Bai Yu being suppressed and decided he was not worth her attention unless he proved stronger.
• Bai Yu mocked the Five Elders’ Rinnegan and questioned whether Imu was a low-ranking Ōtsutsuki attendant, enraging Imu.

Sengoku, Garp, Kizaru, Akainu, and Ryokugyu sailed to a deserted island to investigate Bai Yu’s claim that a tower there held new powers. After Garp destroyed a group of Sea Kings, the Marines reached the island still unsure whether to trust his directions.

Sengoku, Garp, Ryokugyu, and Kizaru entered Bai Yu’s ancient tower and were transported to an unfamiliar city, where they received a timed mission to defeat Vaccine Man. They began assessing the challenge, with twelve hours to win a reward or be expelled.

• Kizaru opened the tower doors, and an unseen force pulled all four inside after a voice announced the challenge rules.
• The four found themselves atop a building in an unfamiliar city, and Garp and Sengoku argued over Garp’s failure to explain the tower.
• A system message assigned them the mission of slaying the Dragon-Level monster Vaccine Man within twelve hours for a chance to open a blind box.
• Sengoku concluded that victory could earn them power and a way out, while failure to complete the mission would also expel them.

• Bai Yu received a Hard Level unknown dungeon and chose to activate it.
• A six-story ancient tower crashed onto the island and forcibly pulled Bai Yu inside, where he emerged in a forest and spread his Observation Haki.

Bai Yu arrived in a forest and rescued Utatane Koharu from a deadly attack during a clash between Mito Uzumaki and Kumogakure Anbu. Mito prepared to release the Nine-Tails rather than let the pursuing forces capture it, while Bai Yu asked if they could give it up.

• Bai Yu used Observation Haki to locate a fight between two women and their pursuers several kilometers away.

• Bai Yu asked Mito whether they could give up the Nine-Tails.

Utatane Koharu revealed that Bai Yu had dispersed the Nine-Tails, leaving Mito Uzumaki stunned as Kumogakure’s Toroi arrived and dismissed the claim. Toroi ordered his Anbu to surround Bai Yu, who offered them one last chance to leave before the confrontation turned bloody.

• Mito Uzumaki loosened her seal and manifested the Nine-Tails’ Tailed Beast Cloak while assuring the others she could control it.
• Under pressure, Utatane Koharu told Mito Uzumaki that Bai Yu had dispersed the Nine-Tails two years earlier.

• Bai Yu said he wanted no part in the conflict and asked the Kumogakure ninja to leave, but Toroi said he only believed the dead.

• Toroi ordered the Anbu to attack Bai Yu, who deflected a kunai with Armament Haki.
• Mito Uzumaki used Adamantine Sealing Chains to pull Utatane Koharu out of danger as the Anbu bombarded Bai Yu with kunai.
• Toroi detonated the explosive tags on the kunai, blasting Mito Uzumaki and Utatane Koharu away while Bai Yu remained unharmed.
• Toroi explained that his Magnet Release chakra would make the kunai pursue Bai Yu, then hurled a Fūma Shuriken at him.
• Bai Yu caught and crushed the Fūma Shuriken, taunted Toroi, and Toroi ordered the Anbu to buy him time as he prepared an early move.

Bai Yu slaughtered the Kumogakure Anbu who tried to restrain him, while Toroi prepared his trump card. Toroi’s Magnet Release Resonance struck Mito Uzumaki and disrupted her seals, signaling an imminent Tailed Beast rampage.
