Arrival at Yokohama
The Guild arrives at Yokohama with a 7 billion yen bounty over Atsushi and with the goal to obtain the "page" from the book. Fitzgerald goes to the agency office in order to buy their skilled business permit and to legally operate in Yokohama however Fukuzawa refuses to do so.

The Guild then tries to eradicate the agency and the mafia.

The Incineration of Yokohama
The plan to take over Yokohama and in order to obtain the pages of the book, Fitzgerald launches their "emergency plan". Q was taken and restrained by Steinbeck's ability. Fitzgerald kidnaps Atsushi and reveals that Atsushi is the guidepost for the book and the reason why he brought Atsushi in the Moby Dick is to prevent him from turning into ashes unlike the rest of the city.

Fitzgerald plans to use Atsushi as the lead and using Steinbeck's ability and Q's Dogra Magra to execute the plan. The emergency plan was executed by Fitzgerald by tearing off Q's doll resulting to some people of Yokohama being affected by the ability. The plan failed when Atsushi manages to escape the Moby Dick and delivers the doll to Dazai causing the curse to be nullified.

After the failed first part of their plan, the plan to crash Moby Dick to Yokohama takes place. The other members leave the fortress to evacaute. Meanwhile, Fitzgerald takes on Atsushi and Akutagawa which was defeated by the duo and is able to take control of the fortress. However, Herman states that someone from the outside has seized control over Moby Dick, and there is no use to try to stop it. Later on, the Moby Dick crashes into the sea instead of Yokohama, thanks to Kyōka diverting the course of it by craching the UAV she was in to it.

After the fall of the Moby Dick, Herman was approached by Ango and persuades him into coming with him for interrogation. The other members who evacuate first including Steinbeck, Louisa May, Lucy, and Mark Twain discuss the fate of the Guild. Twain chooses to return home in order to finish his autobiography. Steinbeck decides to stay and pacify the internal rebellion among the remaining Guild forces, Lovecraft regenerates after his battle with Chūya. As he passes by his fellow members, Lovecraft mutters that the "contract" has finally been fulfilled before walking into the ocean to sleep and Louisa decides to look for Fitzgerald, believing that he is still alive after his fall.

Establishment of New Guild
Louisa manages to find Fitzgerald at the slums and she asks him to issue her an order and for him to return, but Fitzgerald asks her to give up, believing that he has now lost everything. Later on, Louisa soon accompanies Fitzgerald throughout town to rethink their plans in acquiring the Book. Though Fitzgerald plans to buy the secret services, which Louisa deems quite far-fetched for two wanted resource-less ability users, they find it otherwise thrilling, upon which Fitzgerald marks the birth of a renewed Guild. Meanwhile, Steinbeck leds the group Surviving Guild Forces (組合残党, Gurido Zantō) to have revenge on Fitzgerald.

They then went to their new base and Fitzgerald selects her 82nd plan in her strategy proposals .They meet with Buchanan, and Fitzgerald offers to clear his former employee T. J. Eckleburg's name after being suspected of killing an employee. As Buchanan rejects the deal, Fitzgerald orders Louisa to find someone who can solve the case, knowing that Buchanan seems suspicious; as such, Louisa reaches out to Edgar Allan Poe. Eventually, after Fitzgerald proves Eckleburg innocent in his trial and acquires Manhasset Security

Involvement after the Agency Frameup
After the agency was framed as terrorists, Fitzgerald was approached by Atsushi and Kyōka for help and wil be needing the Eyes of God to locate Mushitaro to prove their innocence. Regarding his terms, Fitzgerald asks for the Agency's doctor to revive Mitchell so that she can kill Hawthorne and prevent any further interference from the assassin. In their base, however, Fitzgerald tells Louisa May that he chose not to sell the Agency's whereabouts to the government because of his trust for the Agency's willpower and strength, befitting his character of siding with the strong.
