Chapter Summaries

After Erza and Lucy mistook Bai Yu’s matching wristbands for tokens of love, Mira revealed that he had brought enough for the whole guild and explained their training benefits. The guild members eagerly accepted them, while Laxus arrived and challenged their trust in Bai Yu.

• Erza tried to explain that she and Bai Yu were not romantically involved, but Lucy revealed she had the same wristband, prompting Makarov to joke that Bai Yu loved them both.
• Gajeel accused Bai Yu of hiding beautiful women and started to leave with Juvia.
• Mira revealed stacks of wristbands and said Bai Yu intended one for every Fairy Tail member, including Juvia.

• Gajeel abandoned his plan to leave and sat beside Juvia to get a wristband.
• Laxus arrived with the Thunder God Tribe and accused Mira and the others of trusting Bai Yu and accepting a cheap attempt to buy their loyalty.

Bai Yu returned to the Sea King World after leaving the Nightmare Dungeon, but found himself far from familiar territory and worried about how much time had passed. He flew toward an island where a battle was underway, while the chapter left the island’s defenders facing a dense mass of figures at sea.

• Mira offered wristbands to Laxus and Freed’s group, but Laxus dismissed them and left with the others.
• Bai Yu emerged from the ancient tower on a deserted island and found that his Kenpachi Zaraki Main Body Template power had returned and its unlocking progress had risen to 94 percent.
• Bai Yu found no nearby Flying Thunder God Marks and used Observation Haki, discovering signs of a fight on an island northeast of him.
• Bai Yu flew toward the island, hoping he had not returned too late.
• At the island, the docks and ships had been destroyed, and the militia and Marine soldiers watched a dense mass of figures covering the sea.

Commodore Isuka and the remaining defenders faced a charge of three thousand berserk Sea Kings while isolated from reinforcements. After ordering a final stand, Isuka watched the Sea Kings close in, and one enormous Sea King reached the wall through the smoke.

• An aide told Isuka that three thousand Sea Kings were approaching and urged her to retreat with the two hundred defenders and their dwindling ammunition.
• Isuka refused to retreat, recalling the words of War Demon Bai Yu, and hoped that others would come to help them.
• Isuka ordered the defenders to open fire, and their cannons killed or crippled dozens of Sea Kings.
• The Sea Kings advanced to within three hundred meters as the defenders reloaded, forcing Isuka to prepare for close combat.
• A massive Sea King broke through the smoke and charged the wall, and Isuka’s adjutant raised his axe to attack it.

Isuka and the Marines fought a surging horde of Sea Kings until Sabo and Revolutionary Army reinforcements arrived to help. Sabo warned that Sea Kings were gathering and asked whether Marine Headquarters or Bai Yu had found a way to turn the war around.

• Isuka severed a Sea King's tail and cut open its belly, killing it as more Sea Kings charged.
• A gigantic Sea King stunned Isuka and swung its tail at her, but Sabo blocked the blow and blasted it into the oncoming Sea Kings.
• Revolutionary Army soldiers opened fire from the battlements, briefly slowing the Sea King assault.
• Isuka recognized Sabo, who said the Revolutionary Army would help repel the current tide before taking everyone to its base.
• Sabo told Isuka that Sea Kings were gathering hundreds of nautical miles away, the Revolutionary Army's base was also under attack, and Marine Headquarters risked falling without a countermeasure from Bai Yu.

Sabo and the Revolutionary Army fought an overwhelming wave of Sea Kings while hoping Bai Yu could provide a way to turn the tide. As Koala and Sabo were caught in a surprise attack by scaled humanoid monsters, a lightning strike smashed into the battlefield, leaving the newcomers’ identity unknown.

• Sabo estimated that roughly two thousand Sea Kings were advancing and asked Isuka and Koala to hold the wall while he attacked.
• Sabo charged into the Sea Kings, crushing one with his body and killing several more with his Armament Haki-coated pipe.
• A scaled humanoid monster attacked Koala from behind as three similar monsters ambushed Sabo.
• Lightning descended from the sky, struck the monster attacking Koala, and shattered the wall beneath the defenders.
• Koala and the people nearby were thrown away by the shock wave, and everyone waited to learn whether the uninvited arrival was an enemy.

Bai Yu arrived on the battlefield and killed three monsters and over a thousand Sea Kings with a single sword slash, saving Isuka and stunning the Marines and Revolutionary Army. The surviving Sea Kings fled, leaving the island’s defenders to take in the scale of his power.

• Sabo and Koala joined Isuka as lightning struck the city wall, and Isuka recognized the arrival as Bai Yu.
• Three monsters attacked Isuka from behind, but Bai Yu told everyone to duck, and she trusted him enough to obey.
• Bai Yu drew his sword and cut down the three monsters’ weapons and bodies, then severed more than a thousand Sea Kings with the same slash.
• The three monsters died, the remaining Sea Kings fled into the water, and the battlefield fell silent.

Bai Yu reunited with Isuka and Sabo after saving them from the Sea King tide, then revealed that Dragon was his uncle. The Revolutionary Army learned that Bai Yu intended to help them because of his family ties to their leader.

• Bai Yu rescued Isuka and the Marines from a Sea King tide, and Isuka embraced him before organizing the evacuation of the island's residents.
• Isuka's Marines teased her about her affection for Bai Yu, then followed her to evacuate the residents.
• Bai Yu greeted Sabo, who did not recognize him, and promised to help restore Sabo's memories someday.
• Koala urged Sabo to ask Bai Yu for help because the Revolutionary Army faced devastating losses and needed new power.
• Sabo asked Bai Yu to share his power with the Revolutionary Army, and Bai Yu said he would help because Dragon was his uncle.

After Baldigo sent an urgent call for help, Bai Yu agreed to accompany Sabo and Koala back to Revolutionary Army Headquarters, using his spatial ability to speed their journey. At Baldigo, the Revolutionary Army’s last harbor defenses faced a vastly larger Sea King attack after its members had lost their Devil Fruit powers.

• Koala received an emergency message saying Baldigo was under attack, but the Den Den Mushi signal cut off before she could learn more.
• Bai Yu promised to go with Sabo and Koala and left a Flying Thunder God Kunai behind so he could return quickly if needed.
• Sabo asked whether Bai Yu could grant new powers, and Bai Yu discovered the Mark 50 was available for purchase again without limits.
• Bai Yu spent twenty thousand System Points to obtain a Mark 50, then put it away and carried Sabo and Koala toward Baldigo.
• At Baldigo’s harbor, the Revolutionary Army held its last defensive wall while a report warned that Sea Kings were converging in numbers many times greater than before.

Dragon and the Revolutionary Army prepared to face a massive Sea King assault after losing their Devil Fruit powers, while Lindbergh equipped the commanders with jetpacks. As the Sea Kings surrounded them, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck toward Dragon.

• Dragon assessed how badly the Revolutionary Army had been weakened after the Five Elders and Imu reclaimed the Devil Fruits.
• Ivankov and Belo Betty questioned whether the Revolutionary Army should retreat and whether Sabo’s absence had left them vulnerable.
• Lindbergh presented his newly built jetpacks, and the army commanders reluctantly took the equipment.
• Thousands of Sea Kings gathered around Baltigo as the sea boiled beneath them.
• A blue bolt of lightning shot toward Dragon, who stepped in front of the commanders to take the attack himself.

Enel attacked the Revolutionary Army at Baltigo after Dragon's jet device was destroyed, forcing Dragon to defend the last wall from his lightning. Dragon blocked Enel's thunderbird attack, but the wall was left badly cracked and the battle remained unresolved.

• Enel arrived aboard the Golden Ark, boasted of his godlike power, and threatened to defeat Bai Yu after dealing with the Revolutionary Army.
• Dragon told the commanders to protect the walls from the Sea Kings and faced Enel alone, while Lindbergh took the damaged jet device.
• Enel struck Dragon with El Thor, but Dragon used Soru to evade the lightning, which tore a huge breach through the defensive wall.
• Enel unleashed a 30,000,000 Volt Thunderbird, and Ivankov urged Dragon to retreat rather than risk the wall.
• Dragon met the thunderbird with Dragon Claw Fist, sending a figure flying back as the damaged wall developed more cracks.

Dragon fought Enel’s lightning attacks, opened the Sixth Gate, and launched himself at the airborne Thunder God, but Enel countered with an Armament Haki-coated transformation. As Dragon faced a crushing blow, Bai Yu tossed him a silver sphere that identified itself as a Mark 50 and entered autonomous control mode.

• Enel attacked Dragon with a 60 Million Volt Thunder Dragon, and Dragon opened the Sixth Gate to destroy it with Ryuo: Morning Peacock.
• Dragon charged toward Enel, who transformed into a towering Armament Haki-coated Thunder God and struck at him.
• Sabo called for Bai Yu to save Dragon, but Bai Yu threw Dragon a silver sphere instead.
• Dragon caught the sphere and wondered if Bai Yu was screwing over his uncle before it announced that its Mark 50 human sensory link was established and entered autonomous control mode.

Bai Yu’s silver metal lump transformed into Mark 50 armor around Dragon, allowing Dragon to combine it with his Haki and martial arts to fight Enel’s Thunder God form. As Enel unleashed a massive lightning attack, Dragon prepared to absorb its power through the armor.

• Enel’s devastating strike blasted the city wall and surrounding area, while the Revolutionaries feared Dragon had been killed.
• Bai Yu told the others to look at the crater, where the Mark 50 armor had covered Dragon’s body.
• Dragon synchronized with the armor’s AI, surged toward Enel, and smashed apart Enel’s thunderous fist with Jet Morning Peacock.
• Enel shattered the Thunder God drums and unleashed 200,000,000 Volt Amaru Judgment.
• Dragon opened the armor on his back and declared that he would borrow Enel’s lightning.

Dragon used the Mark 50 to absorb Enel’s lightning and unleash a devastating strike that destroyed many of the attacking Sea Kings. Afterward, Lindbergh eagerly took the armor to examine it, while Dragon asked Bai Yu for eight or ten more suits.

• Dragon’s Mark 50 absorbed Enel’s lightning and fused with Dragon’s Armament Haki.
• Dragon fired a powerful beam that pierced the sea and wiped out a large portion of the attacking Sea Kings.
• Bai Yu was stunned by the Mark 50’s power, while Dragon learned that the overloaded armor needed a day to cool down.
• Lindbergh asked Dragon to remove the armor so he could examine it, and Dragon handed it over.
• Dragon asked Bai Yu to get him another eight or ten Mark 50 suits.

Bai Yu faced pressure from Dragon and the Revolutionary Army to provide Mark 50 armor, then used Sabo as the subject of a plan to make more suits. At Marineford, Garp and Sengoku continued fighting a relentless Sea King assault that was slowly wearing down the Marines.

• Dragon bargained with Bai Yu for five suits of Mark 50 armor, while the Revolutionary Army’s commanders eagerly backed his request.
• Dragon revealed that Sabo was Bai Yu’s sworn younger brother, but Sabo had no memory of it; Bai Yu then drew his Zanpakuto and began slashing him as part of a plan to obtain armor.
• At Marineford, Marines fought Sea Kings attacking the fortress for five days, while exhausted officers struggled to hold the defensive walls.
• Sengoku struck down a monster but was nearly attacked from behind before Garp intervened and destroyed it.
• Garp and Sengoku continued battling as Garp feared the hidden enemy’s siege would exhaust Marineford’s defenders one by one.

Sengoku, Garp, Whitebeard, and their allies defended Marineford from an unending Sea King assault while taking turns to rest. When a new attacker targeted Sengoku, Bai Yu arrived and destroyed the stone pillar, revealing that the enemy they had awaited had finally appeared.

• Sengoku and Garp continued fighting the Sea Kings after five days of nonstop attacks, and Sengoku admitted that their strength was failing.
• Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates, and members of the Red Hair Pirates joined the defense, giving the Marines a chance to rest.
• The Marines and pirates had set aside their differences after Bai Yu sent Akainu to Totto Land and asked them to defend Marineford together.
• Garp warned Whitebeard not to overexert himself, while Whitebeard and Marco said they could withstand the attack and trusted Bai Yu to grant new power.
• An unseen attacker launched a massive stone cone at the exhausted Sengoku, but Bai Yu appeared and shattered it with a punch, clearing a path through the Sea Kings.
• The Sea Kings quickly filled the gap again, and everyone recognized that the people they had awaited for five days had finally arrived.

The Five Elders’ forces arrived at Marine Headquarters with resurrected Devil Fruit Users and two hundred Pacifistas, putting the defenders under overwhelming pressure. As Golden Lion launched a crushing attack, an unseen ally announced that Bai Yu’s fiancée was present.

• Rubble smashed a group of Sea Kings, but more quickly filled the gap as the tide continued toward the walls.
• Nusjuro, Daps, and Sals appeared with a fleet of warships carrying Golden Lion Shiki and other resurrected Devil Fruit Users.
• Golden Lion used his Float-Float Fruit to land ten warships, from which two hundred PX Pacifistas emerged.
• Sengoku, Garp, Whitebeard, and the other defenders prepared to fight to the death rather than surrender.
• Nusjuro ordered Golden Lion to attack, and Golden Lion dragged rocks and shattered ships from the sky to crush the battlefield.
• Golden Lion claimed the defenders could not stop him without Bai Yu, but an unseen speaker declared that Bai Yu’s fiancée was there.

Tornado stopped Golden Lion’s debris attack, while the Five Elders and their forces launched a major assault on Marine Headquarters. Sengoku and the others countered with two plans, revealing their use of Eight Gates Released as the battle escalated.

• Tornado halted the falling rocks and ship debris with her psychic powers, while Nusjuro threatened her and Golden Lion agreed only to pin her down.
• Daps ordered two hundred PX Pacifistas to fire laser beams at Marine Headquarters.
• Sengoku called for Plan A, and he, Garp, Akainu, and Aokiji opened the Sixth Gate to intercept the beams with Morning Peacocks.
• Marco and the others activated Plan B, opened the Fifth Gate, and heaved up the seabed beneath the Five Elders’ forces.

Marco and the others blocked the Pacifistas’ first laser barrage, but Killer attacked the weakened Whitebeard from a spatial vortex. An armored Iron Man arrived to save Whitebeard, while seven more figures formed a plasma barrier against the next barrage.

• Marco and the others shattered a slab of rock to cancel out the Pacifistas’ laser barrage.
• Nusjuro revealed that Killer had appeared behind Whitebeard through a space vortex and taunted Marco’s group.
• Killer curved his sword around Whitebeard’s raised naginata and prepared to strike his abdomen.
• An armored figure plunged from the sky, collapsed the city wall, and forced Killer to escape through space before he could kill Whitebeard.
• Seven figures deployed plasma shields that joined into a barrier and met the incoming laser beams.

Dragon arrived at Marineford in Bai Yu’s Iron Man Armor and rescued Whitebeard, revealing that Bai Yu had beaten him badly to obtain it. The Five Elders renewed their attack, ordering Golden Lion to break through the defenders and unleash the rocks and wreckage overhead.

• Seven Iron Man figures shielded the battlefield from the Five Elders’ laser barrage, and Nusjuro suspected Bai Yu had returned.
• Dragon revealed himself after his armor receded into a silver sphere, and Garp asked why he had come and where Bai Yu was.
• Dragon said Bai Yu had beaten him within an inch of his life to get the armor, prompting Garp, Whitebeard, and the others to clamor for their own suits.
• Nusjuro dismissed the armors and ordered Golden Lion to break through the girl’s obstruction and attack with the rocks and wreckage overhead.
• Dragon and the others faced the threat of Golden Lion’s attack, which could devastate Marineford.

Tornado blasted away Golden Lion’s rocky attack, but Golden Lion refused to fight and Daps tried to seize control of him. Bai Yu appeared to stop Daps, and the Five Elders faced the arrival they had been waiting to test as their confrontation with him—and possibly Imu—loomed.

• Tornado unleashed her full psychic power and scattered Golden Lion’s rocks, crushing the Sea Kings gathered near the coast.
• Golden Lion laughed off Nusjuro’s demands, saying he had come to see whether Bai Yu would disappoint him, then prepared to die.
• Daps sent psychic power toward Golden Lion to take control of his body, but Bai Yu appeared and deflected it with his Zanpakuto.
• The Five Elders recognized Bai Yu’s return and the advanced armor he brought, and wondered whether he could grant power as Imu could.
• Bai Yu recalled discovering a way to farm points and receiving a powerful reward for the nightmare dungeon’s first-stage mission, which had motivated him to outfit Dragon and the others with Iron Man suits.
