Kaya

Biodata

Power Progression

Kaya's growth follows the recovery and development of Yhwach's abilities rather than named cultivation realms 1 10.

Background and History

Transmigration and Meeting Rocks

Before transmigrating, Kaya was a reclusive student and worker who largely kept outside social groups and read manga. His arrival on Hachinosu was sudden, leaving him uncertain how to use his inherited powers or live in the new world 2.

He distributed soul fragments to several pirate crews, whose newfound strength helped provoke a battle. Rocks investigated reports of pirates wielding unusually powerful bows and found Kaya in a looted house. Kaya reclaimed the recipients' power through Auswählen, killing the surviving recipients and rapidly maturing before the assembled pirates 1.

Rocks invited him to join his crew, but Kaya refused. Nevertheless, he accompanied Rocks to Shakky's tavern and challenged him to a spar, using the encounter to familiarize himself with Quincy combat techniques 2 3.

Establishing the Quincy

Kaya began forcibly recruiting pirates on Hachinosu, defeating groups before offering survivors his blood wine. He valued rapid expansion over loyalty or reputation and permitted his followers to recruit by whatever methods they preferred 4 9.

He restored the one-armed swordsman Sege's missing arm and sent newly converted pirates to sea under the Quincy emblem. His immediate aim was to spread the Quincy name, increase their influence, and strengthen himself through the growing network of recipients 9 10.

After Kaido initially rejected his offer, Kaya recruited Keel Bastar as the first Sternritter. He later extended Quincy conversion to all his followers, allowing the movement to grow without requiring his personal involvement in every transformation 11 12 26.

The Sternritter expanded beyond Keel, Loki, Maron, and Kaido to include John, Ganzui, and Basard. Kaya also converted Gloriosa before the expedition to God Valley 53 54.

Founding the Wandenreich

After the fighting at God Valley, Kaya established a country for the Quincy in the shadow world. He constructed its buildings directly from Reishi and converted survivors into new citizens, with Gloriosa helping distribute blood wine 76 78.

His recruitment crossed previous social and political divisions. Former slaves such as Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny became Quincy, Magnolia joined with her twin sons, and Zephyr accepted Quincy power while retaining his identity as a Marine 78 88.

Kaya appointed Haschwalth to govern the Wandenreich as its king of the night while he slept. He also entrusted him with recruiting the remaining Sternritter and preparing a hunting competition aimed at the Celestial Dragons 90.

Appearance

Kaya resembles a handsome teenage youth after his first use of Auswählen, despite having appeared as a small child shortly beforehand 1 2.

• Clothing: A pure white military or holy-knight uniform with a cloak, tall military boots, and three silver medals on his chest, fashioned through Reishi manipulation 2 3.
• Hair: By the battle of Hachinosu, his hair has grown long enough to hang behind his shoulders 46.
• Blut markings: Cyan or turquoise branching patterns appear across his skin and clothing when he channels Blut 3 8.
• Overall impression: Shakky compares his appearance to a noble-born paladin, while Kong thinks he resembles a knight or a kingdom's prince 2 46.
• Second maturation: During the God Valley battle, his body grows taller and his features mature until he appears nearly thirty. His clothing automatically adjusts to his new physique 63.
• The Almighty: When Schrift A awakens, a second eyeball appears in each socket, giving him four eyes 74.

Personality

Kaya is outwardly calm, casual, and frequently amused by dangerous situations. He pours himself a drink under Roger's Conqueror's Haki and responds to Rocks's astonishment at his durability by correcting him about the small amount of dust on his sleeve 3 6.

His composure extends to extreme violence. He feels little emotional disturbance after killing, attacks pirates who have not provoked him to accelerate recruitment, and disregards whether his followers commit good or evil in his name 2 4 8 9.

He enjoys provoking reactions. He deliberately lets Ochoku finish an alliance proposal before rejecting it for amusement, and reveals information about the final island partly because he wants to see Roger's expression. Preserving the original course of events does not concern him 6 10.

Rocks introduces him to a conception of freedom based on openly expressing desire and will. Kaya takes that lesson seriously, but maintains his independence and regards absolute control—not friendship alone—as the foundation of a stable organization 5 6 33.

He does not consider himself a pirate merely because he opposes the World Government. While criticizing Marine justice as a defense of oppression, he acknowledges that some Marines genuinely maintain public order. His willingness to empower Zephyr reflects his stated indifference to whether new Quincy were originally pirates or Marines 51 88.

Kaya recognizes exceptional effort even among ordinary followers. Basard attracts his attention by mastering Ransōtengai and surviving the war, and Kaya rewards his subsequent request for strength with Sternritter membership 46 53.

His conduct as emperor remains authoritarian. Rocks regards him as a dictator who acts according to his own wishes, and Kaya appoints Haschwalth without seeking his subjects' approval. His later hunting competition treats non-Quincy participants as prey rather than limiting the violence to the World Government 90 97.

Abilities and Skills

Soul Sharing and Auswählen

Kaya distributes fragments of his soul that record the recipient's learned knowledge, experience, abilities, and talents. Those gains return with the fragment when the recipient dies; Auswählen allows him to reclaim distributed power actively 1.

• Accumulated returns: Recovers more than the original investment, including skills developed by recipients after receiving his power 1.
• Inherited Haki: Obtains Haki from empowered pirates who die, then applies it in his spar with Rocks 3.
• Physical restoration: His first reclamation reverses his weakened childlike state and produces rapid physical growth 1.
• Dependence on souls: Without continuing to take lives and souls, his body can regress toward a helpless infant state unable to see or hear 10.
• Remote transmission: Can transmit power across space through individual Quincy, allowing conversion at great distances. Their connection to him deepens as they develop their powers 26.
• Mass reinforcement: Floods the God Valley battlefield with Spiritual Power that strengthens the accompanying Quincy's souls and supports their transformations 63.
• No lethal backlash from followers' deaths: Unlike Imu's bond with the Five Elders, the deaths of Kaya's Quincy do not injure him 74.

His growth is connected to the spread of Quincy blood, the expansion of their influence, and disruption of the world's existing order. These processes gradually unseal more of his inherited power rather than requiring conventional training 74.

Quincy Conversion and Healing

Kaya's blood wine transmits Quincy power and knowledge, awakening Spiritual Power and the ability to manipulate Reishi 4 13.

• Healing: Soul fragments can fill deficiencies in a recipient's soul, gradually repairing physical or psychological defects. Conversion restores Sege's arm and heals Maron's injuries 9 13 31.
• Immediate instruction: Quincy knowledge accompanies the transformation, allowing recipients to begin forming weapons without learning everything from scratch 13 31.
• Bloodline distinction: Quincy created directly by Kaya are pure-bloods; those created through other Quincy are mixed-bloods with poorer control 26.
• Loyalty: Early converts experience an inability to contemplate defiance. Kaya later explains that he embeds no explicit orders; the overwhelming experience of conversion leaves fear etched into the recipient's soul 4 31.
• Recipient autonomy: Kaido still openly denies being his subordinate after accepting conversion. Kaya tolerates this because he expects everything Kaido gains to return to him eventually 38.
• Further restoration: Basard's severe wounds heal when Kaya gives him blood wine, while Zephyr's severed arm regrows within a few breaths and his Haki becomes stronger 53 88.
• Compatibility with Marine service: Kaya explicitly permits Zephyr to remain a Marine, presenting Quincy status as a means of obtaining power rather than a requirement to abandon his existing profession 88.

Schrift Bestowal

Kaya's blood wine can awaken a letter bearing a special ability within a qualified recipient's soul. A Schrift establishes a deeper connection to him and permits the transfer of greater power. He explains that ordinary Quincy cannot withstand this power; the corresponding Schrift naturally awakens in a suitable recipient rather than being an arbitrary ability he selects 13.

• Power support: Loki's final fighting state draws directly on Kaya's reserves when Loki can no longer sustain it himself 26.
• Connection control: Kaya severs that connection to end Loki's rampage, leaving him unconscious from exhaustion 26.
• Further recruits: Kaya also converts Gloriosa and Shuri, though their Schrift letters are not identified in the supplied account 54 80.

Reishi Manipulation

Kaya gathers spiritual particles from his surroundings and shapes them into weapons, protective layers, and physical structures 2 3 15.

• Weapon creation: Forms swords, bows, arrows, and spirit bullets. His Reishi Holy Sword can descend as an arrow before transforming into a blade 3 7 47.
• Matter reconstruction: Creates clothing, fashions a giant-sized ship from Elbaf's ancient trees, and constructs a building large enough to house Loki 2 15 26.
• Direct pressure: Crushes Red Eye's remaining followers with surrounding Reishi, though he admits that his control was imprecise 8.
• Protective covering: Maintains a Reishi layer that keeps dust and blood off his body. During the war, battlefield shockwaves and even wind fail to reach his position beside Kong 6 8 43.
• Limits: Large-scale construction requires immense supporting power; Reishi manipulation also consumes mental effort and stamina 13 15.
• Large-scale transport: Lifts a section of Hachinosu into the sky with Spiritual Power and uses it to carry the God Valley expedition 55.
• Country construction: Commands the shadow world's Reishi to materialize silver-white buildings, enormous pillars, spires, and tiled ground when founding the Wandenreich 76.

Blut

Blut injects Reishi into the blood vessels to enhance the body. Kaya distinguishes it from both Devil Fruit abilities and Haki 11.

• Blut Vene: Greatly increases defensive strength. Kaya withstands Rocks's sword strike and repeatedly catches Kaido's club attacks without injury 3 8 11.
• Blut Arterie: Greatly increases destructive power, concentrating force into physical attacks 11.
• Demonstrated offense: Punches Kaido through multiple buildings and later caves in his stomach with a blow 8.
• Against Garp: Uses Blut Vene to catch Garp's Haki-coated fist and contest his strength directly 51.

Hirenkyaku and Aerial Movement

Hirenkyaku accelerates Kaya by adjusting the flow of Reishi beneath his feet rather than relying solely on physical footwork 3.

• Evades repeated flying slashes from Rocks and rapidly changes position around him 3.
• Stabilizes himself after being knocked through the air 3.
• Supports himself on Reishi to stand and move above the ground 3.
• Conducts prolonged aerial combat against Imu above God Valley and its clouds 68 69.

Ranged Techniques

• Heilig Pfeil: Forms a giant spirit arrow between his hands and throws it like a spear, driving Sege backward despite his greatsword guard 9.
• Cyan flame attack: Compresses Reishi to an extremely high concentration and ignites it, producing intense heat and a towering destructive blast 47.
• Great Heilig Bogen: Gathers vast streams of Reishi into an enormous sacred bow during his battle with Bright 47.
• Bowless arrows: Can fire Heilig Pfeil directly from his fingertip without forming a bow 7.
• Four-way clash: Fires a massive Heilig Pfeil into the collision of ultimate attacks from Garp, Harald, and Rocks 51.
• Reishi Concentrated Flame: Burns away the fragment of demonic energy Imu secretly attaches to him, destroying the mark before it can be used to interfere with him 68.

Sankt Altar

Sankt Altar steals an opponent's strength rather than merely returning power Kaya previously distributed 47.

• Spirit bullets form a large pentagram over the target, followed by falling blue light that drains their power 47.
• Takes Bright's swordsmanship and Haki, leaving the admiral too weak to hold his weapon or speak before dying 47.
• Extracts the black corrupting power from Rocks without killing him, restoring his clarity after Imu's possession 63.

The Almighty

Kaya initially possesses Schrift A in a dormant state. At his introduction he cannot use its future-seeing power, and he later speculates that assembling the Sternritter might allow it to awaken; he does not initially know the actual unlocking conditions 1 13.

During the God Valley confrontation, the sealed power begins opening as Imu assumes his half-demon form. Kaya releases his sword into Reishi and remains unharmed through repeated attacks, including attacks involving Imu's divine weapons. He then opens four eyes and awakens A — The Almighty 74.

• Future perception: The inherited ability is introduced as Yhwach's power to see the future 1.
• Higher-level perception: Identifies the origins of Imu's weapons, prompting Imu to recognize that Kaya perceives them from a higher, narrative level 74.
• Ineffective attacks: Imu's repeated sword strikes and divine-weapon attacks fail to harm Kaya during the awakening sequence 74.
• Shown future: Later presents Zephyr with a vision of his future as a test of his commitment to protecting civilians 88.

Shadow World and Spatial Control

Kaya establishes the Wandenreich within the shadow world, creating a hidden country for the Quincy and retaining people there independently of the surrounding seas 76 78.

• Portals: Opens a black passage in the air with a circular gesture, allowing Rocks and his family to leave 90.
• Expansion and summons: Expands the Wandenreich and brings large numbers of people from different factions into it for the Quincy Hunting Competition 97.
• World replacement: As the Wandenreich fractures and begins crossing into the sea, Kaya explains that it will replace the world's existing rules. He gathers surviving inhabitants to witness the New World 115.

Other Demonstrated Skills and Limits

• Swordsmanship and Haki: Coats his Reishi sword in Haki and exchanges sustained sword blows with Bright without exposing an opening 3 47.
• Spiritual attacks: Destroys Keel's intangible ghost with a glance, causing Keel severe pain and injury 12.
• Presence detection: Notices Keel hiding behind Skull Rock Mountain before revealing that he knows he is there 12.
• Prior knowledge: Knows about the Road Poneglyph route, Imu's position on the Empty Throne, and the approaching God Valley Incident 6 16 26.
• Soul damage: Explains that Quincy attacks can damage souls. Highly concentrated Reishi attacks can therefore inflict lethal damage on the otherwise immortal Holy Knights 61.
• Advanced swordsmanship: Links slashes into a continuing sequence of sword energy that wounds Imu. His Reishi sword turns almost entirely white during the exchange, retaining pale blue along its edge 69.
• Conqueror's Haki: Matches Imu's Conqueror's Haki with azure lightning before unleashing an attack that clears the clouds and splits God Valley in half 69.
• Instinctive growth: His later swordsmanship does not result from a conventional martial-training regimen; his strength develops through inherited power and its continuing release 69 74.

Equipment and Items

• Silver pentagram pendant: Worn on a chain around his wrist; used to pierce his palm and draw blood for Quincy conversion 4 12.
• Blood wine: The medium through which he grants Quincy power and awakens Schrifts 12 13.
• Reishi Holy Sword: A luminous blue sword with an X-shaped crossguard; created from spiritual particles rather than carried as an ordinary forged weapon 7.

Relationships

• Rocks D. Xebec — Initially an ally, sparring partner, and persistent recruiter. Rocks protects Kaya's freedom to speak and respects his refusal to join; both acknowledge the possibility of becoming enemies. Kaya saves him from Imu's corruption at God Valley, but later explicitly promises to kill him at their next meeting. Rocks accepts the rivalry, and Kaya ultimately kills him during the New World's birth 3 5 6 33 63 89 115.
• Keel Bastar — First Sternritter. Initially attacks Kaya, submits after his ghost is destroyed, and later advocates allowing Quincy to create more of their kind. Subsequently serves in the Schutzstaffel and survives to join Kaya's gathering for the New World 12 13 26 97 115.
• Loki — Young recruit whom Kaya takes from Elbaf, empowers, encourages to fight, and protects from Linlin's demand to hand him over. Later becomes a Schutzstaffel member and remains among those Kaya gathers for the New World 15 16 18 25 97 115.
• Kaido — Initially a victim and unsuccessful recruitment target; later accepts Quincy power while denying any subordinate relationship 8 11 38.
• Maron — Becomes Kaya's companion after Kaya intervenes against Ochoku; receives healing, Quincy power, and the Schrift initially identified as “K” 28 31.
• Sege — Recruited swordsman whose missing arm is restored; authorized to recruit independently and go to sea 9.
• Charlotte Linlin — Hostile after Kaya nearly kills Kaido. She threatens to kill him, and he later refuses her demand for Loki. Despite their earlier hostility, she joins the group Kaya transports to God Valley 8 25 55.
• Gol D. Roger — Tavern acquaintance whom Kaya tells about the true final island and Road Poneglyphs, disrupting Roger's expectations for Lodestar Island 6.
• Ochoku — Enemy whose alliance proposal Kaya rejects. Kaya later subdues him and exposes his arrangement with the Navy before Rocks executes him 10 28 29.
• Morgans — Intelligence contact who informs Kaya of the World Government's movement toward God Valley. Kaya later dictates the report he wants published about the expedition, and Morgans's coverage spreads news of the attack around the world 43 55 81.
• John — Seeks Kaya's power after witnessing Maron's transformation, becoming a Quincy before the Paramount War and receiving I — The Iron 53.
• Ganzui — Requests Quincy power after nearly being killed by Harald. Kaya converts him and awakens E — The Explode 53.
• Basard — An ordinary Quincy whose use of Ransōtengai earns Kaya's attention. Kaya later heals him, accepts him into the Sternritter, and awakens H — The Heat 46 53.
• Gloriosa — Witnesses Kaya defeat Bright and chooses to accept his power before the God Valley expedition. Later helps convert survivors into Quincy 54 78.
• Imu — Principal enemy in the struggle between Quincy power and the World Government. Kaya recognizes Imu's arrival through Gunko, removes his corruption from Rocks, fights him at God Valley, and awakens The Almighty during their confrontation. Ten years later, Kaya defeats him as the Wandenreich begins replacing the old world 63 68 69 74 115.
• Haschwalth — Trusted deputy whom Kaya appoints as the Wandenreich's king of the night. Kaya gives him authority over the country during his sleep, orders him to prepare the hunting competition and recruit Sternritter, and later asks him to gather the remaining survivors 88 90 115.
• Shuri — Princess formerly used as Imu's vessel under the identity Gunko. Kaya secretly brings her into the shadow realm, dispels Imu's power, and converts her into a Quincy. She later serves in the Schutzstaffel and joins the survivors gathered for the New World 78 79 80 97 115.
• Magnolia, Shamrock, and Shanks — Kaya reassures Magnolia after she refuses conversion, offers her a place in the Wandenreich, and makes her a pure-blood Quincy. He tells her that her twin sons will adapt to Quincy power and later gathers the family among the New World's survivors 78 115.
• Zephyr — Kaya tests his principles with a future vision, restores his missing arm through conversion, and permits him to remain a Marine. Haschwalth warns that Zephyr is an undercover agent, but Kaya treats his acceptance of the blood as evidence of sincerity. Zephyr later condemns the Quincy hunting massacre 88 97.
• Garp — Opponent at Hachinosu and critic of Kaya's attack on Marine justice. Kaya contests his strength while questioning whether he has considered changing the World Government's order 50 51.

Story Role and Major Arcs

Revealing the Final Island's Secret

During drinks with Rocks and Roger, Kaya explains that Lodestar is not the true final island. He describes how the Road Poneglyph coordinates reveal the destination and connects the suppressed history to the World Government. He has no personal interest in the One Piece and leaves after delivering the information 6.

Elbaf and Loki's Recruitment

Kaya accompanies Rocks to Elbaf, where Harald refuses Rocks's invitation. Kaya agrees to take Loki to sea and creates a ship large enough to carry him. During the return voyage, he reveals Imu's secret rule to Rocks and grants Loki Quincy power 14 15 16.

On Hachinosu, Kaya encourages Loki to fight pirates who mock him. The battle exposes the scale of Schrift abilities to Rocks's crew, culminating in a destructive attack that the senior pirates stop. Kaya retrieves Loki, refuses to surrender him to Linlin, and later explains that he ended the fight by cutting off his support 18 23 25 26.

Ochoku's Plot and the Paramount War Proposal

Kaya's presence at Maron's residence disrupts Ochoku's attempt to kill Maron and abduct Shakky. He subdues Ochoku, then reveals that the Navy arranged the deal and has a ship offshore. After Rocks executes Ochoku, that intelligence leads to an ambush involving Shakky and Keel 28 29 31.

Following Kong's capture, Kaya proposes publicly executing the admiral on Hachinosu. Rocks adopts the idea as a direct challenge to the Marines, and the pirates name the impending conflict the Paramount War 33.

Battle of Hachinosu

Kaya initially watches from the execution platform beside Kong. Morgans's report about God Valley convinces him that the battle cannot be allowed to drag on, prompting him to intervene personally 39 43.

He intercepts Admiral Bright after Bright defeats Gloriosa and Shakky, overwhelms him with Quincy techniques, and takes his strength through Sankt Altar. Later, when Garp reaches Kong, Kaya challenges Marine justice as a means of preserving the World Government's oppressive rule. Their clash topples the execution platform 46 47 50.

The confrontation develops into a four-way battle involving Garp, Harald, Rocks, and Kaya. Kaya blocks Garp's fist with Blut Vene, attacks Harald with Heilig Pfeil, and uses a Reishi lightsword against Garp. The battle culminates in all four fighters' major attacks colliding over Hachinosu in a burst of white light 51.

Recruitment and Departure for God Valley

After the war, Kaya gathers Keel, Maron, Kaido, John, and Ganzui. He converts Ganzui and invites the five to accompany him and Rocks to God Valley, explaining that the Celestial Dragons intend to hold a Human Hunting Competition there. Later that night, he accepts Basard into the Sternritter after recognizing him as the ordinary Quincy who had fought using Ransōtengai 53.

At Shakky's tavern, Gloriosa asks about Quincy power after witnessing Bright's defeat. Kaya offers it to her, gaining another companion for the expedition 54.

Rocks reveals that his wife and son are on God Valley and disbands the Rocks Pirates so that everyone can decide freely whether to help him. The assembled pirates remain, and Kaya lifts a portion of Hachinosu into the air to transport them. During the journey, he tells Morgans that God Valley will disappear and instructs him to publish an account of Kaya, Rocks, and their allies crushing the World Government's forces 55.

God Valley and the Awakening of The Almighty

At God Valley, concentrated Quincy attacks prove capable of killing the Holy Knights despite their immortality. Kaya explains that the decisive property is their ability to damage souls 61.

A torrent of Spiritual Power matures Kaya's body and strengthens the accompanying Quincy, who reveal their Vollständig forms. When Newgate tells him that Gunko has possessed Rocks, Kaya recognizes Imu's arrival. He fights the corrupted Rocks, hears his plea to be killed, but instead tells him to live and raise his son. Sankt Altar removes the corrupting power and restores Rocks's control 63.

Kaya and Rocks then fight Imu together. Kaya destroys a secretly attached fragment of demonic energy with Reishi Concentrated Flame, but Rocks is later struck through the chest by Imu's Grudge Demon Sword. Continuing alone, Kaya wounds Imu, matches his Conqueror's Haki, and splits God Valley in half with a slash 68 69.

After the Five Elders are destroyed, Imu suffers backlash and assumes a stronger half-demon form. Kaya senses his sealed inheritance opening, releases his sword, and remains untouched by Imu's repeated attacks. His perception exposes the origins of Imu's weapons, and he opens four eyes as Schrift A — The Almighty awakens 74.

The Hidden Quincy Country

With people sheltered in the shadow world from the increasingly destructive battle, Kaya announces that he will build a country for the Quincy there. He directly materializes its structures from Reishi, founding the Wandenreich 76.

Survivors line up for conversion, including Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny. Gloriosa distributes blood wine, while remaining Celestial Dragons are kept imprisoned. Kaya reassures Magnolia, converts her into a pure-blood Quincy, and offers a place for her and her twin sons. He also secretly retains Princess Shuri, Imu's former vessel, in the shadow realm 78.

After Imu's power is dispelled, Shuri regains her sealed memories. Kaya subsequently converts her into a Quincy. Later, while wandering the West Blue, he senses unusual Reishi gathering around a ragged blond man 79 80.

News of the God Valley attack shakes the world. Newspapers credit Kaya and Rocks with killing Marines, Celestial Dragons, Holy Knights, and the Five Elders, and the Marines issue Kaya a bounty of 9,999,999,999 81.

Zephyr's Conversion and Haschwalth's Appointment

Kaya presents Zephyr with a vision of his future and questions whether he would defy Marine orders to protect civilians. He offers Quincy power without requiring Zephyr to abandon Marine service. Zephyr accepts while refusing personal loyalty, regains his arm, and discovers stronger Haki. Kaya permits him to leave and find Garp, viewing the conversion as an opening for Quincy power to spread through the Marines 88.

Before Rocks leaves, Kaya tells him that he will kill him the next time they meet. Rocks welcomes the challenge rather than treating Kaya's earlier rescue as grounds for lasting friendship 89.

Kaya publicly appoints Haschwalth to manage the Wandenreich as its king of the night while he sleeps. He opens a portal for Rocks's family and privately orders Haschwalth to prepare the Celestial Dragons Hunting Competition, recruit the remaining Sternritter, and act according to his own judgment 90.

Quincy Hunting Competition

Kaya expands the Wandenreich and summons powerful figures from across the world, including pirates, Marines, bounty hunters, and Celestial Dragons. He announces the Quincy Hunting Competition, declares everyone outside the Quincy to be prey, and orders the participants to survive the hunters and reach the central area, where he waits in Wahrwelt 97.

Loki, Keel, and Shuri take positions as Schutzstaffel members while Quincy attack throughout the country. Zephyr discovers the massacre, kills a Quincy who murders a Marine he is helping, and demands to know how Kaya's actions differ from those of the World Government 97.

During the conflict, Garp and Kyo confront a figure appearing to be Kaya. After fighting them and withdrawing, the figure is revealed to be a red-haired boy impersonating His Majesty, not Kaya himself. The boy reunites with his older brother and identifies them as Sternritter trusted by Haschwalth 99.

Birth of the New World

Ten years after their previous battle, Kaya again confronts Imu, who claims to have become stronger than he was eight hundred years earlier. Kaya rises from his throne, forms a deep-blue Reishi sword, and meets his attack as the Wandenreich's space fractures 115.

Kaya defeats Imu as the Wandenreich begins crossing into the sea and replacing the existing world. He explains that its rules will supplant the old world's rules, kills Rocks, and directs Haschwalth to assemble the remaining survivors 115.

He gathers Magnolia and her children, Keel, Shuri, Brook, Loki, and Harald, then invites them to witness the New World 115.
