• Naito stopped Enma from draining his Haki and repeatedly charged and withdrew it until he tamed the sword.
• Kozuki Hiyori and Kozuki Sukiyaki recounted how they had survived after Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido took control of Wano Country.

• Naito proposed making the Udon quarry the resistance’s base and said he would go there when he had time.
• Naito finished taming Enma and noted that its Haki consumption was immense and its release crude.

• Kaido asked Naito to explain the Artificial Devil Fruits, and Naito described Vegapunk’s research into the Lineage Factor and the Azure Dragon replica based on Kaido.

• Naito told Kaido that his scientists could create mass-produced fruits that let people fuse with animal Lineage Factors, though they would be weaker than real Zoans and have drawbacks.
• Kaido agreed that the fruits would be useful, but became angry when Naito revealed production had not started and asked for advance payment.
• Naito offered information about the Celestial Dragons’ ultimate secret in exchange for the payment.
• Naito identified Nerona Imu as an immortal ruler who had controlled the world from behind the scenes for eight hundred years, with the Five Elders and God's Knights serving him.
• Kaido questioned why Naito had come to him, and Naito said they would eventually topple the King of the World; Kaido laughed in response.

After securing Kaido’s funding for his Devil Fruit research, Naito explained how Imu’s immortality and control could be resisted and persuaded Kaido to provide two Zoan Devil Fruits. Naito left Wano with the fruits and money, while Kaido’s crew waited to see whether the research would produce results within a year.

• Naito told Kaido that Roger and Garp might have been able to save Rocks by leaving him enough strength to resist Garling.
• Naito proposed using regular and Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits to advance his research, and Kaido ordered Hanafuda to provide an Ancient Zoan fruit.
• Naito charged Kaido market prices for the two fruits, reducing the remaining payment from three billion Beli to 2.4 billion and prompting Kaido to smash his cup.
• Naito left Onigashima carrying two cases, while King told Queen that the information could be worth the cost and Kaido waited for the first fruits to mature.

Naito returned to the mountain stronghold and faced Ashura Doji, who challenged him over his treatment of Kozuki Hiyori and Kozuki Sukiyaki. Naito tested Enma by blasting Ashura away, but Ashura recovered and attacked with Oden Two-Sword Style: Togen Totsuka.

• Naito arrived at the stronghold, where Ashura Doji accused him of threatening Kozuki Sukiyaki and Kozuki Hiyori and demanded that he release them.

Naito arranged for Kawamatsu, Hyogoro, Hiyori, Ashura Doji, and the prison staff to work for him in Wano, then prepared to return his consciousness to meet Garp. He left the prisoners hidden in Udon and told his agents to gather daily in the small world to exchange information.

• Kawamatsu reunited with Hiyori and learned that Sukiyaki, Hyogoro, and other allies were alive and that Babanuki had joined Naito’s side.

• Naito decided to return his consciousness to his original body, which was nearing G-1 Base and its meeting with Garp.

Naito left Wano after taking control of the prison mine, while the Marine Guerrilla Unit returned to G-1 Base and reunited with Garp and Akainu. Zephyr asked whether Headquarters had learned anything about the people they were pursuing.

• Akainu praised the voyage's results, and Zephyr asked whether Headquarters had heard anything about those people.

Garp began training Naito to control his Conqueror's Haki and explained its three stages, leaving Naito ready to begin practicing with his will. Garp judged Naito to be near the start of the second stage, far from mastering Conqueror's Haki Coating.

• Zephyr asked Garp to train Naito in Conqueror's Haki, and Garp agreed while warning Naito that becoming Fleet Admiral would leave him little freedom.
• Garp took Naito to a secluded coast, where Naito released his powerful Conqueror's Haki and then directed it precisely at Garp.
