Titled "The Matter Involving Captain Koby," this chapter recounts the siege of Amazon Lily, where Marines deployed child-like Seraphim and Blackbeard tried to seize Hancock's Devil Fruit, only for Rayleigh to intervene and Koby to end up a captive.
Summary
Near Sphinx, the Red Hair Pirates drop off Marco, who flies the rest of the way home and again declines Shanks' offer to join, calling himself too worn out to babysit a great pirate. He recalls the surprise the crew felt when Yamato chose to stay in Wano, the young man reasoning that Kaidou's fall invites more invaders like Ryokugyu. Luffy accepts the choice, and Marco bids Luffy farewell, telling him Ace would be proud and that the age now belongs to the younger generation.
Key Events
On Amazon Lily, Gloriosa surveys the damage from a recent assault, half the central mountain shorn away. A flashback reveals that while Koby's Marines deployed the new child-shaped Seraphim against the Kuja, Blackbeard struck simultaneously to claim Hancock's Mero Mero no Mi before the government could. Hancock petrified swaths of attackers, but Blackbeard seized her throat and nullified her power, both their bounties shown as he prepared to kill her. She warned that her death would leave the petrified frozen forever. Rayleigh then arrived, halting Blackbeard and demanding Hancock undo the stoning so all sides could withdraw.
Notes
The two Seraphim resemble young Hancock and Mihawk, and the Mihawk model's strike cleaved the mountain. Shakuyaku, accompanying Rayleigh, is revealed as a former Kuja empress and past captain of the Kuja Pirates. Hancock resolves to leave the island to spare her people and reach Luffy. A newspaper reports Koby's capture by the Blackbeard Pirates, his fate uncertain. The cover continues the Germa serial.
