Chapter Summaries

Dimon discovered that Shusui could unleash powerful Armament Haki from the energy accumulated by its past wielders. Meanwhile, Samael took Lola’s Vivre Card and had Ain call her mother, Charlotte Linlin, leaving Lola shocked to hear her voice.

• Dimon tested Shusui’s Haki and learned that the sword could use its stored reserves thousands of times.
• Dimon decided to keep Shusui and considered seeking out other Famous Swords.
• Ship Zuizui spoke with the imprisoned Lola, who suspected it belonged to a religious organization.
• Samael demanded Lola’s Vivre Card, then asked her for Charlotte Linlin’s Den Den Mushi number.
• Ain connected the call, and Lola recognized her mother’s voice.

Samael failed to secure Lola’s ransom from Charlotte Linlin, who threatened him and ended their call. Dimon expected Linlin to send a Sweet Commander after them, ordered Samael to capture them alive, and set course for the Sabaody Archipelago.

• Samael demanded a box of Devil Fruits from Charlotte Linlin, then threatened to send Lola’s head to Loki when Linlin refused.
• After Linlin ended the call, Lola revealed she had fled an arranged marriage to Loki, and Samael left without granting her request to meet his master or bring her food.
• Dimon told Samael that Linlin would likely send someone to test their strength and ordered him to capture any Sweet Commander alive.
• Dimon ordered the crew to head to the Sabaody Archipelago, while Samael eagerly accepted the assignment.
• On Whole Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin praised Pudding as dear to her, unlike Lola.

Dimon reached the Sabaody Archipelago and found a black market run by Stussy’s network, where he learned that a Devil Fruit would be sold at an upcoming auction. He began selling stolen weapons and learned that Joker was a powerful Underworld arms dealer.

• Dimon arrived at Sabaody and told Samael to guard the ship while he searched for a black market.
• Ain located the market, and Dimon met its owner, Azshara, at the Rose Flower House.
• Azshara told Dimon that Stussy controlled the island’s black market and that a Devil Fruit would be auctioned in three days.
• Dimon agreed to pay five million Beli for the auction’s location and took an appraiser to inspect his weapons.
• The appraiser identified some cannons as Marine-made and others as Joker’s merchandise, prompting Dimon to wonder if Joker was Doflamingo.

Dimon learned that the Marines planned to buy a Paramecia Devil Fruit at a black-market auction, so he arranged with Mammon to steal it rather than try to raise enough money. He attended the auction in disguise and waited for it to begin.

• Dimon learned from Mammon that the Marines had prepared 500 million Beli to buy a Paramecia fruit at the auction.
• Dimon instructed Mammon to help him steal the fruit, then spent two days training and animating two more Yarukiman Mangroves to watch the area.
• Dimon met Azshara at the Rose Flower House, paid her five million Beli for information, and went with her to the auction.
• Azshara pointed out Knox and the Bad Kid Pirates among the bidders, but Dimon ignored her offers to sell more information and took a seat in the back row.

At a black-market auction, Dimon watched the Marines and other bidders as the clown host revealed the Storyboard Fruit and explained rules designed to drive up its price. After five bidders tied at 300 million Beli in the first round, the second round began, and Dimon submitted another bid.

• Dimon spotted Mammon, Ed, and three other Marines in the auction hall, while Vice Admiral Shuga sensed ill intent from Dimon.
• Mr. Amanchi the Clown opened the auction by presenting the Paramecia Storyboard Fruit.
• Mr. Amanchi explained that bidders would use sealed bids across multiple rounds, with the winning margin required to shrink each round.
• Knox questioned the rules, and Mr. Amanchi identified him as the pirate Supernova Evil Child before resuming his explanation.
• Dimon submitted a bid of 2.5 million Beli, then watched as Mr. Amanchi announced that five bidders had tied for first at 300 million Beli.
• Vice Admiral Shuga worried that the Marines' 500 million Beli budget would not be enough, and Dimon submitted a bid in the second round.

Evil Child Knox won the Storyboard Fruit through the wealthy merchant’s bid, then stole it with a manifestation of himself and fought Vice Admiral Shuga. Dimon identified the likely nature of the Child-Child Fruit as the battle left Shuga holding the fruit while injured and Knox’s second manifestation was blinded.

• The wealthy merchant won the Storyboard Fruit with an 800 million bid, intending to present it to the Celestial Dragons.
• After the auction transaction ended, a second Evil Child Knox appeared and killed the merchant to take the fruit.
• Knox’s group left with the fruit, but Vice Admiral Shuga blocked their path and attacked the second Knox.
• A third Knox appeared and struck Shuga from behind as Shuga blinded the second Knox and took the Storyboard Fruit.
• Dimon reasoned that the Child-Child Fruit could manifest imagined versions of Knox as physical beings.

Dimon animated the Storyboard Fruit into Big Eye and learned that its power could manipulate visible events through movable storyboards. He tested the ability by sealing Mammon and Ed inside a frame as two Marines approached.

• Dimon named the animated Storyboard Fruit Big Eye and had it inhabit him so he could examine its abilities.
• Dimon discovered that the Storyboard Fruit could divide visible reality into storyboards and rearrange events, though strong Haki, stamina limits, and other spatial powers could counter it.
• Two Marines called out for Ed and Mammon after the Darkness Realm vanished.
• Dimon used Storyboard Impact to enclose Mammon and Ed within a square frame in front of the Marines.

Dimon used his awakened Storyboard Fruit to erase two Marines and trapped Mammon inside a storyboard space before leaving under the alias Big Eye of the Seven Deadly Sins. After learning that Mammon’s mission had failed and Vice Admiral Shuga was missing, Sengoku sent Garp to investigate, but news arrived that Charlotte Cracker’s ship was near Sabaody.

• Dimon erased two Marines with his awakening, then told Mammon to identify him as Big Eye of the Seven Deadly Sins if questioned.
• Mammon waited overnight inside the storyboard space and wrote an account of the previous night for the Marines who found him.
• A Marine reported Shuga missing and Mammon defeated to Sengoku at Marine Headquarters.
• Sengoku learned that Big Eye belonged to the unknown Seven Deadly Sins and ordered Garp to rescue the Marines and investigate the group.
• A report reached Sengoku that Charlotte Cracker’s ship had appeared near the Sabaody Archipelago.

Charlotte Cracker attacked the Wave-Breaking Warrior to retrieve Lola, but Samael and another Devil Fruit user drove him onto shore. Cracker survived Samael’s fiery attack, revealing that the apparent target had been a biscuit soldier.

• Dimon learned that Charlotte Cracker was approaching and sent Samael to defend the Wave-Breaking Warrior.
• Samael confronted Cracker, but Ship Zuizui stopped him from damaging the ship.
• A branch wrapped around Cracker and flung him from the deck toward shore.
• Samael warned Cracker that Lola had lost her shadow, then attacked him with a scarlet fireball.
• Cracker emerged from the flames after his biscuit soldier collapsed, leaving Samael startled by his changed appearance.

Cracker struggled against Samael and the sentient Black Blade Shusui until Samael unleashed a massive explosion over Sabaody Archipelago. Dimon shielded himself with Self-Storyboard, while a Dog-Head Warship approached the island from five kilometers away.

• Cracker tried to fend off Samael's ghost-fire clones with dozens of Biscuit Soldiers, but his attacks could not damage the flames.
• Dimon watched from Yarukiman Mangrove No. 14 and sent Shusui to capture Cracker before Marines from Headquarters arrived.
• Shusui pierced Cracker's abdomen and sent him flying toward the sea, but Cracker escaped drowning and returned to shore.
• Shusui attacked Cracker again, and Samael launched Flame Emperor Flame Explosion as Cracker tried to evade the expanding fireball.
• Dimon activated Self-Storyboard to shield himself from the explosion's shock wave, while a Dog-Head Warship sailed toward Sabaody Archipelago.

Dimon defeated Cracker and used the Storyboard Fruit to trap Garp’s warship in midair. Garp broke free with Conqueror’s Haki, but the ship crashed into the sea, leaving him to rescue his Marines.

• Garp launched his warship toward Sabaody Archipelago with a punch that propelled it through the air.
• Samael defeated Cracker, and Dimon ordered him to take Cracker away before Garp arrived.
• Dimon used Close-Up Storyboard to appear before Garp’s warship and lock it inside a spatial cage.
• Bogard’s sword strike failed to break the cage, and Garp’s Bone Fist Impact only cracked it briefly.
• Garp shattered the cage with Conqueror’s Coating, knocking out the Marines aboard.
• The warship fell into the sea, and Garp began rescuing the Marines thrown overboard.

Dimon confirmed that Samael had escaped with Cracker and kept Garp occupied long enough for the group to get away. After Garp freed Mammon and heard his account of the attack, Dimon believed his cover story had held and expected to become wanted next.

• Dimon dismissed his storyboard and learned that Samael had escaped with Cracker aboard Ship Zuizui.
• Samael had Lola put seastone shackles on Cracker and gave him diluted Longevity Wine to keep him alive.
• Dimon watched Garp reach the Sabaody Archipelago and head to Area 3 to search for Hyuga.
• Garp shattered the storyboard cube trapping Mammon and Ed, and Mammon claimed that Big Eye had attacked them after Hyuga disappeared.
• Dimon saw that Garp did not suspect Mammon and concluded that he would probably be wanted next.

Charlotte Linlin learned that the Seven Deadly Sins had supposedly defeated and captured Cracker, and Perospero devised a plan to lure them to the New World. Dimon then ordered Samael to contact the Big Mom Pirates, and Samael demanded a chest of Devil Fruits in exchange for Cracker and Lola.

• Dimon reviewed Big Eye’s 100-million-Beli bounty and Knox’s increased bounty, then stayed inside while Garp continued searching Sabaody.
• Charlotte Perospero told Charlotte Linlin that Cracker was missing after a clash on Sabaody and presented her with Big Eye’s wanted poster.
• Perospero concluded that the Seven Deadly Sins had defeated Cracker and taken him, and proposed pretending to accept their demands before ambushing them at an exchange.
• Dimon ordered Ain to tell Samael to contact the Big Mom Pirates, and Samael reached Perospero by Thought Waves.
• Perospero asked about Cracker and Lola, while Samael demanded one chest of Devil Fruits and threatened them if the Big Mom Pirates tried to bargain.

The Charlotte Family and the Seven Deadly Sins arranged to exchange hostages and Devil Fruits on Donquixote Doflamingo’s turf, while Doflamingo investigated the mysterious organization. After the Marines withdrew from Sabaody, Dimon went back to the black market in disguise.

• Samael negotiated with Perospero, and Dimon instructed him to refuse Perospero’s attempt to lure him to Whole Cake Island.
• Dimon agreed that the exchange could take place on a mediator’s territory, so Perospero and a Charlotte woman contacted Doflamingo to arrange it on Dressrosa.
• Doflamingo angrily learned that the Big Mom Pirates and the Seven Deadly Sins had chosen his territory, then ordered his men to investigate the organization.
• Doflamingo found no information about the Seven Deadly Sins and sought answers through his Underworld network as the Marines searched Sabaody for the Bad Kid Pirates.
• After the Marines withdrew from Sabaody, Dimon disguised himself with a cloak and mask and returned to the black market in Area 3.

Dimon sent Big Eye to Dressrosa to assist Samael with a transaction involving the Big Mom Pirates, then learned that Garp and Sengoku were still investigating the Seven Deadly Sins. Garp left Marine Headquarters to find Dimon and teach him Haki.

• Dimon bought an Eternal Pose to Dressrosa from Azshara and tricked her by selling the Seven Deadly Sins’ membership count for five million Beli.
• Dimon animated a newspaper into a paper airplane and sent Big Eye to Dressrosa with the Eternal Pose, assigning him as Samael’s deputy.
• Dimon worried that the Seven Deadly Sins lacked manpower and that his combat strength had fallen to Kaku’s level without Big Eye’s ability.
• Garp reported to Sengoku that the masked man had trapped him and that the Bad Kid Pirates had escaped without revealing information about the Seven Deadly Sins.
• Garp left Sengoku’s office to find Dimon and teach him Haki, then went to Vice Admiral Pierce Field’s office.

Garp brought Mammon to retired Admiral Zephyr to learn Haki, and Zephyr agreed to train him after Garp revealed that Vegapunk could give him a Seastone mechanical arm. Mammon saw the arrangement as a chance to enter Punk Hazard openly, and Zephyr proposed a dangerous shortcut to awaken his Haki.

• Garp told Mammon that he had the potential to become a future Marine Admiral and took him to meet Zephyr.
• Garp asked Zephyr to teach Mammon Haki, but Zephyr initially refused because he had retired after losing his students and right arm.
• Garp revealed that Vegapunk had made progress on a Seastone mechanical arm for Zephyr, which would require Zephyr to go to Punk Hazard.
• Zephyr agreed to train Mammon, and Mammon realized becoming his disciple could let him reach Punk Hazard while learning Haki.
• Zephyr explained Haki and offered to awaken Mammon's power by attacking him with Haki while Mammon lowered his defenses.

Mammon awakened his Haki under Zephyr’s brutal instruction and began special training, while Dimon bought the sword Pearl and Precious Jade in Sabaody. A gang of pirates followed Dimon’s purchase with plans to rob him.

• Zephyr used an Armament Haki kick to injure Mammon, whose spirit surged and awakened his Haki.
• Garp told Mammon to train under Zephyr, then informed Zephyr that a research ship would leave for Punk Hazard in three days.
• Zephyr took Mammon away for hell-level special training, while Mammon hoped Ain would alert his master.
• Dimon visited a weapons shop in Sabaody and bought the fourth-grade Famous Sword Pearl and Precious Jade for one million Beli.
• After Dimon left, the blue-bandanna pirate and his men decided to rob him for Shusui.

Dimon learned that Mammon had awakened Haki and planned to take advantage of Zephyr’s upcoming trip to Punk Hazard. Meanwhile, Samael and the crew reached the Red Line, where Big Eye prepared to teleport their ship across after stopping Samael from trying to blast a hole through it.

• Dimon used Shusui to kill the Blue Bandana Pirates, including the crew of Supernova Bururuku, after they tried to steal his sword.
• Shakky told Rayleigh she had seen an impressive young swordsman in the lawless zone.
• Ain reported that Mammon had awakened Haki and become Zephyr’s student, and Dimon praised Garp before planning around Zephyr’s departure in three days.
• Cracker woke in Seastone restraints aboard the Wave-Breaking Warrior and learned from Lola that the Seven Deadly Sins had negotiated to return them for two Devil Fruits.
• Samael proposed making a hole in the Red Line, but Big Eye stopped him and flew ahead to teleport the Wave-Breaking Warrior to the other side.

Mammon accompanied Zephyr to Punk Hazard, where Vegapunk revealed that he had failed to create an artificial Devil Fruit, while Caesar vowed to succeed. Samael rushed ahead to seize the Azure Dragon Fruit despite Big Eye's warning, and Dimon arrived on the island with Big Eye as the mission began.

• Mammon traveled with Zephyr, Ain, and Binz to Punk Hazard, where Zephyr met Vegapunk for an examination related to his mechanical arm.
• Vegapunk asked Mammon for a blood sample to help create an artificial Mythical Zoan Fruit, but Zephyr stopped him; Caesar then led the students on a tour and declared he would succeed where Vegapunk had failed.
• Samael ignored Big Eye's advice to wait until Zephyr left and flew off to seize the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon.
• Big Eye summoned Dimon, who dismissed the disruption and went ashore with him to obtain the fruit.
• Big Eye sealed the Wave-Breaking Warrior to keep its prisoners from escaping, and Dimon asked Ain for an update on the island.

Samael stormed Research Institute No. 1 to find Vegapunk, while Ain disrupted the institute’s surveillance and communications. After Samael confronted Caesar M. Clown, their fight filled the corridor with flames, leaving Mammon, Ain, and Binz safely withdrawn.

• Dimon ordered Ain to cut off the institute’s surveillance and told Samael to cause a commotion.
• Samael entered Research Institute No. 1, melted its automatic guns, and drew the attention of Vegapunk’s staff.
• Vegapunk remained focused on examining Zephyr and told him to stay on the examination machine.
• Samael confronted Caesar, who revealed Vegapunk was in the laboratory at the back and tried to flee.
• Caesar deprived the corridor of oxygen, but Samael and his flame clone attacked him anyway, forcing Mammon to pull Ain and Binz back.
• Caesar formed a Blue Flame Sword and clashed with Samael’s flames, which then parted at Samael’s command.
