Arc-by-arc updates

• Defends the wounded Law against the Blackbeard Pirates and transforms into Sulong despite there being no full moon (“SULONG / HOW CAN THAT BE?! THE MOON’S NOT OUT!!”, p. 18) — an apparent break from the established Mink moonlight-triggered Sulong rule. Begs Law not to die as the Polar Tang is sunk and the crew is declared defeated (“We made it together as a team!”, p. 19). See A Mink Can Reach Sulong Without The Full Moon.

SBS reveals

Notes

• race: mink SET Ch. 805 — the Mink-tribe classification is now ON-PAGE (p. 6, “that talking polar bear is a mink too?!”); a polar-bear mink native to Zou. (Was held blank through ≤0591 as a forward reveal; the Zou arc pays it off.) 13-14) and lists him in mentions; the natural forward-synthesis mint chapter is therefore 0505. A 0506 MERGE must NOT regress it.
