• Aboard the returning Marine warship, Naito lifted an enormous barbell while appearing oblivious to everyone around him.
• Binz admitted he would not try to wake Naito after recalling that Naito had knocked out several of his teeth during an earlier attempt.

Naito’s dream powers let him train while asleep and link other people’s dreams to reality, making them potential nexuses for his growing abilities. He used the power to give Buckingham and Weevil a dream of wealth, youth, and a happy family with Whitebeard.

Naito finished his training voyage and arrived at Mary Geoise with Zephyr, the recruits, and their prisoners, Weevil and Buckingham. He planned to seek rapid promotion in the New World, while Buckingham remained dependent on Naito’s dream ability and the group prepared to cross Mary Geoise.

• At dinner, Naito monitored Buckingham and Weevil’s separate dream space while considering how to create a permanent, open dream world.
• Naito told Binz and Ain that he would seek a post in the New World and aimed to become an Admiral ten years earlier than Zephyr had.

• Buckingham recognized that Naito’s dream ability had made her dependent on him, and she accepted that she might need his help to survive Impel Down.
• The group reached Mary Geoise and rode an automatic walkway toward the other side of the Red Line, where Zephyr rebuked Binz for asking to tour the legendary city.

Naito watched Weevil and Buckingham being transferred to a prison ship, then returned to the Marine training camp and trained alone. Ain challenged him to a spar before their assignments separated them, and their fight began.

• The cafeteria workers rushed to prepare food for Naito, who began eating while Ain ate more slowly beside him.

Naito secured Zephyr's support for a posting at G-5 Base and anticipated a night raid on Impel Down. After remotely entering Weevil's dream, Naito sensed the prisoners on Level Six and detected several powerful figures.

• Zephyr praised Naito's strength, agreed G-5 Base suited him, and said Headquarters would likely promote him enough to wear a Justice Coat.
• Ain asked Zephyr to let her go to the New World, and Naito urged him to seek a higher rank from Sengoku.
• After returning to his dorm, Naito used his ability to enter Weevil's consciousness while Weevil was imprisoned on Impel Down's sixth level.
• Naito explored the dark prison with Observation Haki and sensed fewer than twenty prisoners, including several whose auras surpassed his own.

Naito used Weevil’s body and the Dream-Dream Fruit to escape his restraints and recruit prisoners from Impel Down’s sixth level. After confronting Red Count and Douglas Bullet, he freed the prisoners and left them staring at him in fear.

• Naito put the surveillance Den Den Mushi to sleep, used an invisible substance to remove his Seastone restraints, and opened his cell.

• Naito opened the other cells and removed the prisoners’ shackles, and they emerged in fear of him.

Naito awakened Byrnndi World from a decades-long nightmare and recruited him for a prison breakout. He then returned to his own frozen body, used Haki to break free of the ice, and staggered out of the cell.

• Anthony smashed open the elevator doors, and Naito led the group into the already chaotic fourth level.
• Salt rushed ahead to attack the guards and prisoners fighting nearby.

Naito led a growing group of prisoners toward the upper levels of Impel Down, where they encountered Warden Magellan guarding the bridge. Magellan’s Poison Dragon wiped out the prisoners who charged him, leaving Naito and the others facing his attack.

• Salt swiftly cut down guards while Anthony transformed into a giant bear and crushed another group, and Naito continued toward Buckingham with the prisoners.

Naito used his projection and Byrnndi World's More-More Fruit to unleash an enormous thousand-armed Guanyin against Magellan's Venom Demon while the escaped prisoners overwhelmed the guards. The barrage of multiplied fists swallowed Magellan's defense, leaving the clash unresolved.

• Anthony drove through the guards, swatted Hannyabal into a wall, and bit into a Jailer Beast as the prisoners seized gas masks and antidotes.

• Magellan met the first enormous fist with a Haki-coated punch, shattering both his Venom Demon's forearm and the Guanyin's fist.
• Naito sent the Guanyin's many multiplied fists raining down, and Magellan raised both Haki-coated arms to defend as the barrage engulfed the Venom Demon.

• Sengoku received word that the sixth-level prisoners had rioted and ordered a response from Marine Headquarters.
• Sengoku told Aokiji, Tsuru, and Zephyr that the prisoners had escaped, but Douglas Bullet and Patrick Redfield were still imprisoned.

After Byrnndi World escaped from Impel Down with a large group of prisoners, Sengoku sent Aokiji to reinforce the prison and search the Calm Belt, while Zephyr took the recruits to investigate Sabaody. Naito and Ain watched an underground shipyard in Area 16, where Naito struggled to stay awake after an exhausting night.

Naito and Ain investigated a Sabaody shipyard, where Naito sabotaged a coated pirate ship, while Luna’s escapees sailed toward the archipelago. Buckingham Stussy suspected Naito belonged to the mysterious lord who had gathered the escapees, but she remained unsure of his plans.

• Ain suggested that Naito use his ability to make them invisible so they could investigate a shipyard, and Naito took her inside while holding her hand.
• Naito destroyed the coating on a ship intended for a pirate, forcing the shipyard workers to redo it before the client arrived.
• Naito teased Ain about holding his hand, then thought that Luna was about to meet the escapees and begin the deep-sea dive operation.
• The escapees sailed toward Sabaody while most of them slept contentedly in the City of Dreams, and the awake crew members envied them.
• Buckingham Stussy tended Weevil’s injured arm and suspected that Naito was one of the mysterious lord’s people because he had used an invisible attack and she had entered the mental space after he defeated her.

Buckingham and the escapees met Luna, a Lunarian sent by Naito to lead them to the New World. After Naito revealed himself and appointed Luna as their commander, they flew toward their destination, while Marines Binz and his companion watched a coated ship in the Sabaody Archipelago and noticed something in the sky.

• Binz and another Marine kept watch over a coated ship in a secluded bay at Sabaody, then spotted something in the sky.

Zephyr and Naito rushed to stop the escaped prisoners from leaving Sabaody Archipelago, while Binz attacked their ship to buy time. The coating began to inflate as Binz tried to get past one of the prisoners and reach the ship.

• Binz spotted the escapees at the harbor and alerted Zephyr and Naito.
• Zephyr raced toward the harbor and called Marine headquarters for reinforcements.
• Naito took Ain with him as he launched toward Binz's position.
