D Gray Man Vol 9

"Our Hope"

The group arrives in the Earl-controlled Edo. Meanwhile, Tyki, Skin Bolic, Davit, and Jasdero, all of the Noah Family, meet the Earl upon Noah's Ark to discuss the current situation as Road assists in building new Ark. The Earl summons all the Akuma in Japan to one location, and Tyki orders one to use the Ark to travel to China and kill Allen. Although they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, the Exorcists launch an attack on the Earl. In China, the Akuma attacks the defenseless Allen, who has not managed to reconstruct his Innocence. Fo, disguised as Allen, battles the Akuma to buy time. After Allen convinces Bak to let him fight, a new form of his Innocence, later dubbed Crown Clown, materializes. Allen defeats the Akuma with Crown Clown, and takes the Ark to Edo as Kanda and his team enter the battlefield
