Chapter Summaries

Ace celebrated receiving his first bounty and studied Roselle D. Gustav’s diary, which deepened his questions about the Will of D. Meanwhile, Sengoku ordered an investigation into Ace, and Samael asked Dimon to teach him Haki; Dimon took him to try a method whose success remained uncertain.

• Morgans gave Ace’s 26,000,000 Beli wanted poster a small place in the newspaper, and Ace proudly showed it to Deuce in Loguetown.
• Ace explained that Krieg had given him Roselle D. Gustav’s travel diary, and Deuce read its entries about Elbaf and the female giants.
• Ace wondered why the government had changed Gol D. Roger’s name, while Sengoku noticed Ace’s name in the paper and ordered the intelligence department to investigate him.
• After returning to the Wave-Breaking Warrior, Samael begged Dimon to teach him Haki, and Dimon took him to try a method that might work.

Dimon used Animation to restore Rogers's corpse, allowing Samael to possess it and use the Flame-Flame Fruit in a physical body. He then gathered the Seven Deadly Sins to plan recruitment, Haki training, and a mission to collect gold on Sky Island once Sigma returned.

• Dimon animated Rogers's corpse, restoring its body but leaving it without a soul or consciousness.
• Samael inhabited the corpse, used Elementalization, and agreed to train Haki rather than seek a stronger fighter's body.

• Dimon planned for the group to collect gold on Sky Island after Sigma returned, despite the presence of a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user who called himself a god.

Sigma returned to the Seven Deadly Sins after getting lost and capturing Shichibukai Hanafuda, whose Ancient Zoan power and Kaido comparisons led Sigma to reveal his awakened Flame Clouds. Back on the ship, Sigma met Bethany and Lycaon while clashing with Samael over an insult.

• Samael confronted Sigma about calling him a stinky fart fire, and Ship Zuizui stopped their argument.
• Bethany introduced herself to Sigma, and Lycaon greeted him and asked whether he had eaten.

Dimon awakened Armament Haki and discovered that animating it might turn it into a passive defensive ability. He tested the effect by having Big Eye charge at him, and the chapter ended as his Haki formed an invisible shield against the impact.

Dimon learned that the annual Heavenly Tribute could include Devil Fruits and began investigating how to obtain its offerings list. Meanwhile, Mammon returned to Marine Headquarters with Ain and Binz for questioning about the events on Punk Hazard, with Ain entering the interrogation room after Binz.

• Dimon heard pirates discussing the Heavenly Tribute and realized its annual shipment might contain Devil Fruits.

• Marine Criminal Investigation Bureau officers escorted Mammon, Ain, and Binz to the interrogation area after noting that Zephyr had spoken on their behalf.
• Binz was questioned first and left the room after about five minutes, then Ain went in.

Mammon passed the Marines’ investigation and received an escort assignment after Zephyr pushed Sengoku to promote him. Meanwhile, Dimon learned that none of the first twenty-eight tribute lists included a Devil Fruit, and the Wave-Breaking Warrior approached the Land of God on Sky Island.

• Vice Admiral Black Horse told Mammon that his ancestor had eaten the Vampire Fruit, offered him a photograph of his niece, and dismissed the investigation without questioning him.
• Binz told Mammon that Sengoku had summoned him, and Mammon overheard Zephyr arguing with Sengoku to secure his promotion.

• Samael searched the forest for the City of Gold and asked Ain whether he should burn the trees down.

Bethany and Sigma broke through Enel’s illusions and overcame his defenses, but Enel fled when he realized he could not win. Bethany and Sigma were left wondering whether they could take the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from its user.

• Samael learned from Ain that Shandora lay buried beneath the forest and spotted the giant python called the Sky Lord near the ruins.
• Enel realized Bethany had interfered with his Mantra and senses from the moment they met, then attacked her with his golden spear, only to pierce an illusion.

Dimon considered how the Dark-Dark Fruit might be acquired and received an image of Mammon reading a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. On Sky Island, the Seven Deadly Sins took Enel’s gold and destroyed the Ark Maxim, prompting Enel to head for the Blue Sea; the chapter ended with Samael asking Dimon for instructions.

• Dimon ordered Samael and Bethany to give Doflamingo gold, seek Devil Fruits and information about the Heavenly Tribute, and promised Ship Zuizui that he could grow stronger after the next mission.
• Dimon considered feeding Ship Zuizui a Devil Fruit and continued training his Observation Haki.
• Samael and Bethany entered Doflamingo's bedchamber after Bethany had put the palace guards to sleep, and Doflamingo recognized Samael.
• Bethany showed Doflamingo a case of gold bars worth about one billion Beli as a deposit for Devil Fruits.
• Doflamingo said he had previously owned a Snail Fruit but had sold it, then asked Samael why Devil Fruits were called the Secret Treasures of the Sea.

Doflamingo gave Samael information that the Ifris Kingdom was sending a Devil Fruit as Heavenly Tribute, but Dimon discovered Marine Headquarters had no record of the kingdom and suspected the shipment was a World Government trap. He set out to investigate, while Vice Admiral Momousagi escorted a strange tribute fleet and Dimon sought a route to Ifris.

• Doflamingo told Samael that the Ifris Kingdom had offered a Devil Fruit as tribute and that its transport ship had likely already departed.

• Dimon bought a Grand Line chart and an Eternal Pose pointing to Ifris from Azshara, who had never heard of the kingdom.

Dimon pursued the Ifris Kingdom’s Heavenly Tribute, experimented on Hanafuda’s Ancient Zoan fruit, and continued searching the Grand Line for the tribute ship. Two days later, Vice Admiral Momousagi’s Marine fleet was ambushed by an allied pirate fleet, whose cannons opened fire as a dog-headed man watched excitedly.

• Azshara found Dimon an Eternal Pose to the Ifris Kingdom and told him that pirates were targeting its Devil Fruit tribute.

• Bethany used her illusions and fragrance to subdue the Marine crew, questioned their colonel, and found a Devil Fruit chest inside a pentagram on the ship.
• Bethany warned Ain that the chest was a trap, but Dimon decided to take it before black lightning struck the magic circle and summoned Gunko.
• Gunko introduced herself as a Holy Knight, recovered the Devil Fruit, and attacked Bethany with her bandages.
• Bethany's illusion fooled Gunko, who realized the fragrance could affect bodies as well as create illusions; Bethany escaped toward the deck and the fruit disappeared from Gunko's hand.
• Gunko broke through the deck, fought off the Marines and their colonel, and found the crew transformed into muscular, red-eyed berserkers under Bethany's influence.

Bethany escaped with the Devil Fruit while Samael and Sigma intercepted the Holy Knights pursuing her. The chapter ended as Sigma arrived to help Bethany, who activated her Berserk Aroma against Gunko’s attack.
